INSPIRATION BEHIND THE NAME OF THE BLOG


When an artist decides to make a painting, he "conceives" a picture. He then takes out the canvas, brushes and paint. After getting out all he may need, the artist starts picking out the colours and brushes he wants to use...then; he begins! Now, somewhere during the process of this painting he comes to the point where he decides to use a very fine brush to put in the some detail on the painting, but for some reason that brush just does not want to work...and having to finish the painting, the artist chooses another brush which even though it is not as fine (able) as the previous brush becomes a skilful wand in the hands of the artist, not due to the capabilities of the brush...no, due to the willingness!

Mat 22:14 for many are called, but few are chosen...

I believe this scripture does not refer to God having favourites and therefore does not want to choose some, but rather because some are consistently refusing God's grace and love to shape and mold their hearts.

Do you realize just how much God loves you...? He created the universe with words, yet He took the time to mold, shape and create you...this has to make you wonder; who is this God that thought of me before the foundation of the earth and if He thought of me, that must mean that I am worth so much in His hands...?


Called...Not Crushed

In 2023, while talking with my friend during one of our coaching sessions, I shared what I had, at that moment, received from the Holy Spirit. It was not just knowledge but revelation, something I had been seeking from Him for years. For the first time, I began to receive insight and, with it, wisdom on how to apply that revelation to my life so that it could produce life. What the Holy Spirit shared was not simply a deeper understanding of what I already knew; it was an invitation to walk it out. A gentle nudge to those who had heard the call yet felt burdened by its weight. Because we, myself included, had it wrong... I believed I needed to do my part, because surely I could not sit still and do nothing. But here is the truth...we were never called to do first. We were created to BE first... BEING is perhaps mankind’s greatest challenge. To truly BE means you have accepted who you are in Him and what He has placed in you, without trying to prove it through what you do. Acceptance lea...

What Has God Placed In Your Hand?

Every now and then God asks a question that is so simple it almost feels insignificant. Yet the longer I walk with Him, the more I realise that some of His simplest questions carry the deepest truths. Recently He has been asking me one question over and over again. What have I placed in your hand? Not what have I placed in someone else's hand. Not what do you wish you had. Not what are you waiting for. Simply... What have I already entrusted to you? I think many of us spend our lives looking at gifts we don't have, while neglecting the very thing God has already given us. That has certainly been true for me. Recently I released a small collection of songs. https://youtube.com/playlist?list=OLAK5uy_ldTVpXZto10xce786bXbXnSFT1jpbjfeY&si=hzilSrlnkDMn47FS Many people have asked me where the inspiration came from, so I thought I would share the journey behind them. The first song, DIE NAG , began as a poem I wrote in 2019. It was the first poem I had ever written an...

WHEN THE LIGHT BEGINS TO SHINE, DARKNESS CANNOT REMAIN

South Africa is in a season of awakening. For many years truth has been pushed into the shadows. Whistleblowers have been silenced and cries for justice have been ignored. Corruption and deception have thrived in secret places. But now something is shifting. Something is breaking open. It feels as if a new wind is blowing across this land. The recent killing of the whistleblower Marius van der Merwe, connected to exposing corruption and criminal activity that he testified about before the Madlanga Commission, shocked many. It was not the first time such a tragedy has occurred. But it was the first time that this truth exploded across every media platform in the nation. Something remarkable is happening when darkness can no longer hide. Light has come. Light exposes what once could only thrive in secrecy. In 2015 the Lord spoke to me that South Africa’s political landscape would shift. I was shown a picture of two gears turning on different levels. I did not understand it then, but I he...

THERE IS ALWAYS A WITNESS, WHAT OR WHO IS YOURS?

Choosing Life in the Presence of Death Scripture does not allow humanity the comfort of neutrality. From the beginning, God places before us a choice...life or death, blessing or curse, obedience or rebellion, faith or fear. This reality is made unmistakably clear when God declares, “I have set before you life and death, blessing and cursing; therefore choose life” (Deuteronomy 30:19). These words are not merely theological abstractions. They speak into lived reality. Every decision carries weight. Every action sets something in motion and every moment of crisis becomes a crossroads where the future is quietly being shaped. Few biblical narratives reveal this truth with as much gravity as the story of the Nile in the book of Exodus. The river stands as more than geography. It becomes testimony. The same waters that bore death would later become the means of life. The same river that absorbed injustice would eventually carry deliverance. Through it all, God revealed both His power to re...

HE IS ENOUGH

HE IS ENOUGH For those of you who read my article in the 28th edition of Lady Rose Magazine, you would have read my testimony on the covenant God made with me in 2009. A moment birthed out of curiosity became a journey of unconditional love. In that moment, He spoke three promises to my heart, and at the time, I held on to those words as promises. But over time, through revelation and walking closely with Him, I began to understand that this was not merely a promise. This was a covenant, and covenant carries a weight that promises alone cannot bear. Covenant is not just about receiving… it is about giving back. It is about dying to self so that His life may be formed in us. For it is only through dying with Christ that we are raised with Him. It is only through covenant returned that the covenant matures. It is only in the fear of the Lord that we begin to fully comprehend the glory we have been invited to walk in. We have now lived in Oudtshoorn for over four years, surrounded by aloe...
