What is Christmas?

Good day Family,

As the rush of Christmas dawns upon us, I felt it fitting to pose the question: "What is Christmas?"
The misconception of Christmas has become so tradition orientated that we actually forget the actual reason why we celebrate the day...

Malls are busy with last minute shopping for gifts and groceries to prepare fancy meals, children are rushing around screaming for toys, parents want to buy the best clothing for their kids to wear around this season... Is this really Christmas?! I think not...

Christmas is the birthday of our Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ! Born to the virgin Mary. A child that will go on to save the world. The Messiah. The King of Kings, the Lord of Lords. So many of us get fixated around the charade of Christmas that we forget to say: "Happy birthday Jesus".

The book Luke in the Bible Says this:
"He went there to register with Mary, who was pledged to be married to him and was expecting a child. While they were there, the time came for the baby to be born, and she gave birth to her firstborn, a son. She wrapped him in cloths and placed him in a manger, because there was no guest room available for them."

Folks, let us not forget the true meaning of Christmas. Let us go out and spread the joy, love and peace that God has called for in our lives and in turn make this world a better place. Educate your children with what is right not what society portrays to be right.

Always remember, You Have The World At Your Feet.

Tribute to MADIBA

Good day Family,

Today is most definitely a sad day for many throughout the world as we all mourn the passing of an icon, Nelson R. Mandela.
What can we learn from the legacy left by such a great man?! Many have tried yet few have succeeded... Why, you may ask?! This answer screams at us... Those that have failed, have failed to try again. They just gave up. Madiba didn't. He continued to fight the good fight of faith. Echoes of meliorism bounce of the walls of a nation that was oppressed. Soldiering on and staying true to the belief that all can change for the betterment of mankind is all that really matters in a world that tells us more of what we can't do than more of what we can.

Overturning circumstances to empower the human spirit and instilling a sense of self-belief is of absolute importance and this is what he did. He let his actions speak his feelings, his words shout praise and his mannerism inspire nations. The ultimate way to praise God for all He does is to let your life be your worship.

It's now left to us as individuals, as a nation, as a continent and also as a world to live in such a manner. Act out of love and not out of pride. Humility is essential in ensuring we lift people up instead of breaking them down. We have to change internally before we can effect an outward change.

In closing, I leave you with some words from the great man: "A good head and good heart are always a formidable combination. But when you add to that a literate tongue or pen, then you have something very special."

Rest in peace Tata Madiba. You will never be forgotten.

You Have The World at Your Feet.

Right Track

Good day family,

Will Rogers said: "Even if you are on the right track, you'll get run over if you just sit there." 
I found that to be so fitting in explaining just what it is we are doing. We dream big, and merely go through the motions. Where's that hunger?! Where's that driving force?! Where's that 'never say die' attitude?!

We've got to dig deeper when we are chasing bigger dreams. Stay focused on what is really important to you and make sure you do what is required and then some...
We have to continuously be on top of our game and keep our eyes fixed on the goal/prize/dream.

Another important aspect to remember is that although we're on the right track, we may not be on the right train. Be ready, train your mind, body and soul. Learn from those around you. Keep grasping information for when your chance comes, you'll only get one shot at it.

You know you're on the right track when you never turn to look back... Keep moving forward. One foot in front of the other. Each day, each week, each month, each year you're getting closer and closer.

You have The World At Your Feet.

Stay blessed,

Meliorism

Good day family,

Meliorism
(Noun)
Definition: The belief that the world can be made better by human effort

We were all created with the purpose of making a positive difference throughout the world. Born to be a blessing and not a burden. Placed at the right place at the right time. We may not have realized it but that was supposed to happen.

We as people make a whole lot of plans throughout our lives and forget to consult the one that holds those plans in the palm of His hands. Yes! God is the author and finisher of our faith. We plan so many things and what happens instead is actually better in the end.

Allow the Almighty to lead you in the direction He chooses. Let Him guide your path. Let Him mould you into the person you are supposed to become and endevour to be the best possible you that you can be. It's quite simple really... We have all that's required to make a difference in not only the world but in the people we come into contact with each day.

I don't know about you but I believe in both God and everyone of you. Our time is now. We have been quiet for too long and if we continue to do so, the beauty of life will whither away. Go out and be bold enough to reach higher, surge farther and remain humbler.

You Have The World At Your Feet.

Did you ever stop to think?

Greetings Family,

Did you ever stop to think?! There's 5 star hotels that have employees or staff that'll never be able to afford to stay in the very place they work in. Did you ever stop to think?! The waitress that served you your 3 course meal may only ever be able to have one meal for that day. Did you ever stop to think?! The saleman that sold you your new ferrari may never be able to own one himself. Did you ever stop to think?! The lady that helped you pick out your designer outfit may never be able to shop at the very same store she works at. Did you ever stop to think?!

Life flies by so fast that we forget to acknowledge the people around us. The ones that truly know what God looks like. What gives me the right to make that statement?! It's when you only have God do you suddenly realise that you have all you will ever need. That my good people is where miracles are.

In every avenue of life there are people crying out for help yet we choose not to listen to what they have to say. We get so caught up in what we want that we resist the essence of life. Life is far more that the superficial mayhem. It's way beyond that. It's in the eyes of purest souls that give without asking, help without reward and serve without praise. That's a miracle.

So I ask, Did you ever stop to think?!

You Have The World At Your Feet.

Stay blessed.

Urgency vs Importance

Family,

So often we get caught between a rock and a hard place when it comes to what is urgent and what is important. We're constantly pushed to get things done immediately as per instructions or requests but is it really important?!

Let's take a look at Scripture.

2 Corinthians 4:18
"So we fix our eyes not on what is seen, but on what is unseen. For what is seen is temporary, but what is unseen is eternal."

What we are told to do or not told to do is not important but yet it is urgent. What God requires for your life will always be important and this in turn should lead you to the urgency of it. Do more, be more, seek more, change more lives, be a bigger blessing to others, help more, feel more, trust more, believe more, hope more and love more.

Spend some time assessing this and please air your views.

You have The World At Your Feet!

Stay blessed,

Stay strong and never depart

Good morning Family,

I trust that you all are well and that you have had a pleasant weekend.
Today's post is inspired by all the young adults out there who are living proof that "The joy of the Lord is their strength".

I come into contact with many people each day and the common factor of determining the good from the great is purely the presence of God in their lives'. We may not all be perfect in the ways of the world but we were perfectly crafted in the ways of the Lord.

Spending time reading and meditating on the word of God is essential to possess a purposeful life.
Both parents and children out there need to understand the following two verses in Scripture.

Proverbs 22:6 Train up a child in the way he should go; even when he is old he will not depart from it.

Proverbs 29:15 The rod and reproof give wisdom, but a child left to himself brings shame to his mother.

There's a substantial difference between good and great and the accordance of God is required to be seeked in order the make that jump. Very often we find ourselves hesitant because life is too hard or we aren't sure where we are going. It's time to worry less and pray more. Let God be the Potter and you be the Clay. That's the only way to truly experience the ultimate joy and success God has planned for your lives.

You Have The World At Your Feet!

Do you see HIM?

Good morning Family,

Have you seen God? The way He looks, the colour of His hair, the colour of His eyes, the clothes He wears, the way He walks, the sound of His voice, the smile on His face, His laugh or even His touch? Not many people will answer yes to these questions so let's try something else...

Have you seen and heard a baby laughing? Have you seen a single mother working two jobs to support her kids? Have you seen a man with no legs still involved in the working environment? Did you see a sunrise or sunset? Have you seen a father who leaves work early just so he can make it to his son's football game?

Do you see God now?!
He's everywhere, in everything. He Is Everything!
From the little, all the way to the great. He is Everything!

All of creation has His stamp on it. You have His stamp on you. He dwells in you.

Isaiah 45:12 - "I have made the earth, and created man upon it: I, [even] my hands, have stretched out the heavens, and all their host have I commanded"

Folks, there's purpose in your life. Worrying about tomorrow only robs you of today's peace. This has already been provided for. Stay in faith, God's taking you places.

You Have The World At Your Feet.

Stay blessed,

What is LIFE?

Good evening Family,

Many of us reach a stage at some point where we ask the following question:

What is LIFE?

Well, it's quite an intricate answer... Intricate purely because we as individuals choose the scientific route to explain it instead of allowing the supernatural take its course. We want an in depth detail with definition of the mere four letter word.

Some may say LIFE is from B to D... Birth to Death. However, what is inbetween B and D? C of course. And what does C stand for? Choice! The choices we make dictates the lives we lead. Not true? Of course it's true.

The question about life has been haunting generations for centuries. Is it haunting you? Do you believe that you're not cut out for it? Not tough enough to handle what comes your way?

What if I told you that you don't have to journey this life alone and that there is someone who will walk with you and aid you throughout the entire course? You'd think I'm lying right? WRONG!!!

God is the be all and end all of life so why not seek Him before scientific explanation? We're stubborn that's why... We scared of the unknown so much that we choose to indulge into our merely pathetic reasoning as to why we exist or live.

Have I got your attention yet?
Well, look at this:

Romans 8:28 "And we know that for those who love God all things work together for good, for those who are called according to his purpose"

The scripture doesn't say go out and find yourself... It says seek God and you will know yourself!

Here's some words to ponder over about life:
Love; peace; faith; hope; joy; sorrow; anguish; substance; unique; Divine; blessed; favoured; successful; strengthened; rejoice; humble; glorious; GOD!

You Have The World At Your Feet.

Our time is NOW

Good day Family,

Been wanting to start a business?! Thought of writing a book?! Had an idea to make a difference?! Saw a need and wanted to fulfill it?! Have a burning desire to achieve greatness in your current works?! Felt the need to reach people and inspire?! Thought of changing the world through your everyday life?!

OUR TIME IS NOW!

So often we put off our dreams and aspirations and merely go through the motions of living an average life. We wake up in the morning, go to work or school, fulfill our ordinary duties and then return home and 'plonk' ourselves on the couch infront of the TV.

We've gained nothing by doing this. Infact we haven't even made a difference. We're merely existing without growing. Being better and doing better is a decision. A decision that opens the world of endless possibilities. Don't put off for tomorrow what you can do today.

Colossians 4:5
"Walk in wisdom toward them that are without, redeeming the time"

Ecclesiastes 3:1-8
"To every [thing there is] a season, and a time to every purpose under the heaven"

Get moving if you would like God to lead you, and when He speaks, LISTEN.
OUR TIME IS NOW.

You Have The World At Your Feet.

Stay Blessed,

There's no comments in the "Results" column

Good day Family,

Today's topic often leaves a bitter taste in my mouth. We as individuals fixate our energies on all the wrong things. We get side-tracked as to what really matters. What's not important shouldn't hold any weight in decison making.

When you focus on the end result, the "ooohhhsss and aaaahhhsss" are of no importance. You perform at the best of your ability to get the job done. No 'what if's' or 'if only's'. Just raw results. Life is that brutal so we as individuals need to stop making excuses for ourselves and get the job done. That's just the way it works.

Beating around the bush deliberating on the 'should have's' or the 'shouldn't have's' will get you nowhere. You need to get into the game.

Proverbs 13:4 "The soul of the sluggard craves and gets nothing, while the soul of the diligent is richly supplied"

Colossians 3:24 "Knowing that from the Lord you will receive the inheritance as your reward. You are serving the Lord Christ."

You take care of all the possible and God will take care of the impossible!

Determination

Good morning Family,

Determination by definition is:
1. The act of making or arriving at a decision.
2. Firmness of purpose; resolve.
3. A fixed intention or resolution.

When you arrive at a decision to endure, to go through, to pursue or to achieve, that act is known as determination. When you approach an obstacle, a challenge or even a duty in your everyday life with the right mindset to complete or overcome, that is determination. A decision so small yet so powerful. Your mind now says: "No matter what may come my way, I know that the power within me is far greater than the task ahead of me."

2 Timothy 4:7
I have fought the good fight, I have finished the race, I have kept the faith.

Psalm 27:14
Wait for the LORD;
be strong, and let your heart take courage;
wait for the LORD!

Make that decision to take on life head on and believe in God to work miraculously in your life and you will see the growth... Not only within you but in your circumstances, in your working environment, in your relationships... Never give up!

There's no glory without guts!

You Have The World At Your Feet.

Are you equipped?

Good day Family,

Lionel Messi is the current FIFA World footballer of the year and when he walks onto the field, he's wearing his boots and shin-pads. Rafael Nadal, a world renouned tennis player would not walk onto the court without a tennis racket. Usain Bolt will not arrive at the starting line of the Olympics 100m Sprint without his running spikes on.

The above mentioned people all ensure that they have the right equipment to perform at the best of their ability. This is the same in life. You have to equip yourself with the correct tools and people to ensure you perform at your very best and deliver on your purpose.

See, God has given us all gifts and various talents but to truly use them properly we have to equip ourselves with what bests enhances our ability... This is the WORD of God. Scripture!

In Ephesians 6:11 it is written:
Put on the whole armor of God, that you may be able to stand against the wiles of the devil.

Gear up and get ready for greatness for when you equip yourself with the correct tools, that will be the outcome.

You Have The World At Your Feet.

Feeding

Good day Family,

Tired; Drained; Exhausted; Pain; Sufferring; Turmoil; Anguish; Stress; Troubles; Worries; Sadness; Issues; Agendas; Heartache and Strain... That what we all have felt at some stage in our lives. It's hits home harder than the Tsunami struck East or the Hurricane struck West.

This is when you soul required proper feeding. The feeding that'll inspire another, uplift another, aid another... for you only experience fullness when you are at your lowest and yet you continue to help those whose needs are greater. Want to feel strength? Feed someone who hasn't eaten in a week. That's the food of substance. The food of life. The Word or Message that'll carry you way further than you own thoughts.

Matthew 25:35 For I was hungry and you gave me food, I was thirsty and you gave me drink, I was a stranger and you welcomed me

Isaiah 58:10 If you pour yourself out for the hungry and satisfy the desire of the afflicted, then shall your light rise in the darkness and your gloom be as the noonday

Feed you soul; Feed another.

You Have The World At Your Feet.

Stay Blessed,

Gifts

Good morning Family,

Did you know that you are gift from God?! Divinely selected! Purpose inspired! Objective driven! Blessing! Yes, God knew where He wanted you to be long before He created you. You were not a mistake. He placed you in the family you are in for a reason. You may never know the reason until He want to reveal it to you but the is one nonetheless.

See God is the potter and we are the clay. All hope comes from Him alone! Don't ever feel like you're going nowhere, like you're in a dead-end job, like you're worthless... NO! He chose you! He died for you so that you may have eternal life! You life is not a waste.

James 1:17 - "Every good gift and every perfect gift is from above, and cometh down from the Father of lights, with whom is no variableness, neither shadow of turning."

So if GOD, The Messiah, The King of Kings, The Lord of Lords, Jehovah... thought of you and created the Gift which is you, you are of utmost importance.

Go out and change the world!

You have The World At Your Feet.

Stay blessed,

Soldiers

Good afternoon Family,

I want you to take a real good look at the picture in this post. A soldier is weeping at the boots of the men that didn't return from the mission. His platoon was depleted in battle. Their lives were taken away. Their families left behind without even getting a chance to say goodbye.

When you woke up this morning, did you share a smile or greeting with someone that means something to you?! Did you enjoy your breakfast or lunch?! Did you get to say I am safe when you got to work?!

The reality is this... The above mentioned soldiers throughout the world don't have that luxury. Very often all they have is a picture of their family attached to a letter incase they never make it home. Is that right?!

We fight wars in our own lives everyday. We go to battle with our minds and bodies, facing challenges that could result in the end of us... Not your body but your spirit.

Matthew 16:26
"For what will it profit a man if he gains the whole world and forfeits his soul?"

Think about life carefully and make sure you choose wisely. Pray for wisdom. Pray for peace. Bring your soldiers, families, friends, daughters and sons home.

You have The World At Your Feet.

Stay blessed,

Take a sip

Good evening Family,

I trust that you all have had a pleasant weekend and are rejuvenated for the upcoming week.
If not, here's a tool I know will aid you as you develop that positive mind-set.

How many of you have ever done some sort of exercise that you began to break a sweat?! Many of us have... When this happens we get dehydrated and we look for something to drink. Something to quench our thirst and refresh our bodies so that we can continue.

The same goes for spending time with God. We run about in and around the world trying to do as much as we possibly can and we get tired. We grow weary. We get weak. The perfect "Pick-me-up" is spending time with God. Taking a sip of His word for your life. That little quiet time that will revitalise your spirit and give you that edge when you go out into the world again.

Many of us hear what God says but do we listen?!

Matthew 6:6 "But when you pray, go into your room and shut the door and pray to your Father who is in secret. And your Father who sees in secret will reward you."

Isaiah 43:7 "Everyone who is called by my name, whom I created for my glory, whom I formed and made.”

Each day, make an appointment with God... Take A Sip. He's waiting to lead and guide you if you'll let Him.

You Have The World At Your Feet.

Stay blessed,

Fabian Frank

Inspiration

Good day Family,

As the working week draws to a close a remarkable thought has crossed my mind... Here goes...

I can see, I can touch, I can hear, I can speak, I can read and I can write, I can understand, I can communicate, I can listen, I can feel...
These are gifts many of us have right?! RIGHT! So if we can do all or some of the things, we have an avenue to inspire right?! RIGHT! Now that we know we can inspire, all of us are right?! WRONG!

Good people, we don't! We forget about others and concentrate on ourselves far too much. Is this not selfish?! When you live with the aim of letting your ways inspire people, you unconsciously fulfill the dreams that you have set out to achieve. Isn't that remarkable?! Your walk now has a purpose! Your achievements are now legacies. Your life lived is no longer in vain. You're changing lives by merely living yours!

So I ask you this: What has changed?
Answer: YOU HAVE!

1 John 5:14 And this is the confidence that we have toward him, that if we ask anything according to his will he hears us.

Revelation 21:4 He will wipe away every tear from their eyes, and death shall be no more, neither shall there be mourning, nor crying, nor pain anymore, for the former things have passed away.

You have been called to live a purpose driven life and you will inspire the nations if you listen and adhere to your calling.

 

Out with the old; In with the new!

 

You Have The World At Your Feet!

 

Stay blessed,

Detours

Good morning Family,

Standing at an intersection in the journey known as life and you see a sign that reads: "Road Under Construction - Please Use Detour"... Panic tends to kick in and you feel somewhat intimidated by the fact that you are unaware of what that road may be like.

Will you be safe travelling on it; what type of areas will you pass; will there be enough notification to guide you back to your chosen destination?! I have a mind blowing revelation for you today. God is preparing you when he places a detour in your path. He's taking you the long way around to teach you just what you need to know to truly handle and appreciate the future successes He has in-store for your life.

God's grace will always be sufficient for you and there will be constant communication and guidance if you're prepared to open up your heart and listen. A wise person once said: "Prayer is you talking to God; Meditation is you listening to God."

Always ensure you know that you are highly blessed and deeply favoured.

2 Timothy 2:15 "Do your best to present yourself to God as one approved, a worker who has no need to be ashamed, rightly handling the word of truth"

Stay in faith, God's taking you places!

Angel's Cry

Good day Family,

Angel by definition:
1. A typically benevolent celestial being that acts as an intermediary between heaven and earth, especially in Christianity
2. A representation of such a being, especially in Christianity, conventionally in the image of a human figure with a halo and wings

Have you ever began to divulge into the topic of angels?! Do you know they're constantly fighting the good fight of faith without you even knowing. They move between the Heavens and the Earth for you to choose good and to choose life; to protect you, to aid God the Father in everyday duties. He loves you that much that He sent you His angels to be by your side.

Psalms 34:7 - "The angel of the LORD encampeth round about them that fear him, and delivereth them."

Matthew 4:11 - "Then the devil leaveth him, and, behold, angels came and ministered unto him."

We, my brothers and sisters, are constantly under attack by evil in the rhelms unknown but we should always endeavour to please God in our ways for the truth is, when we choose not to, the angels not only cry but they weep. They fight with and for you against all odds yet at times we choose not to bother.

Take hold of your body and renew your mind through scripture. Stay in faith, God's going to perform miracles in your lives'.

You Have The World At Your Feet.

Stay blessed,

Fabian Frank

Taken to the Grave

Good day Family,

A Minister by the name of Joel Osteen once said that the richest place in the world was not the diamond mines or the oil fields but rather the graveyards around the world...

Care to know why???

Well the answered strikes deeper than a two edged sword... It is because beneath the surface of the grave lies abilities and talents that were never used. Inventions that weren't created, books that were never written, businesses that were never started or even careers that were never launched. All that ability and prospect turned to ashes and dust.

1 Peter 4:10 "As each has received a gift, use it to serve one another, as good stewards of God's varied grace"

Romans 12:6 "Having gifts that differ according to the grace given to us, let us use them: if prophecy, in proportion to our faith"

Isn't it sad that many of those people never really achieved what they were destined to purely because their faith wasn't stronger than their fears?! Are you one of them?! The reality is this, if you do not go after those dreams using all that you have, you will be a wasted talent.

Take your God given ability and make your life and the lives of others extrordinary!

You Have The World At Your Feet!

God Breathed

Good day Family,

All scripture is God breathed... All good things are God breathed... All blessings are God breathed...
When God inhaled air, He gave breath to STARS! Each and every one of us has a purpose. We were all born for a purpose. A purpose that is far greater than we could ever imagine.

It is a divine calling for your life. Where you should walk, how you should walk and why you are walking in that direction. We may not know all the answers but we serve the One who does. Isn't it great to know that you don't have to stress about your future? Rather, all we have to do is to give our best to all that we do, pray for breakthroughs and blessings, forgive those that have harmed us and no matter how upright we may be, ask for forgiveness.

James 1:17 - "Every good gift and every perfect gift is from above, and cometh down from the Father of lights, with whom is no variableness, neither shadow of turning."

Ephesians 3:20 - "Now unto him that is able to do exceeding abundantly above all that we ask or think, according to the power that worketh in us."

You are blessed. Don't doubt it. Accept it. Embrace it. Live it.

It's Never Too Late

Good morning Family,

Ever missed someone so much that you're scared to tell them? It's never too late. Make that call. Ever wanted to study further and grow your educational level? It's never too late. Go get that degree. Ever wanted to start your own business? It's never too late. Go be that Chairperson. Ever wanted to change the world? It's never too late. Go and change the world.

It's simple family, it really is! Get out of your own way and go after those dreams, those goals, those aspirations... As long as you are alive, it's never too late. You have the ability to decide how you're going to install belief and grit into your mind. Make that decision.

Give thanks for all you have and work for all you want. Don't just stand by and let life pass you by, live it.

Psalm 86:12 "I give thanks to you, O Lord my God, with my whole heart, and I will glorify your name forever."

It's never too late to leave your troubles and step into faith. I believe in you... Do you?

Walking

Good morning Family,

To walk by definition means:
"To move over a surface by taking steps with the feet at a pace slower than a run."

Your feet are moving but you're not rushing or sprinting. One foot after the other. Embarking on a journey with the hope of reaching the destination. Embracing and appreciating the gift of life as you walk.

Comfort, peace, protection and security springs to mind when you walk with God. He didn't always promise that life will be easy but He did promise that you will have the strength to endure whilst He is ever present.

Isaiah 41:10 - "Fear thou not; for I [am] with thee: be not dismayed; for I [am] thy God: I will strengthen thee; yea, I will help thee; yea, I will uphold thee with the right hand of my righteousness."

Take a walk with God and see what lies in your path and future.

Thank You

Good day Family,

My sincere apologies for not posting for a few days...
I've been under an immense amount of pressure.

Today I write to you all telling you how grateful I am for each and every one of you. The fact that you take the time to read my blog regularly means more to me than words could ever describe. I always tell people that God writes my blog and I'm merely the instrument that types it.

By you reading it, I firmly believe that we are changing the world by opening our hearts and minds and reaching the nations throughout the world. Your presence is truly humbling as eventhough I may be troubled, writing to you makes my worries fall down into the trenches where they belong.

Zephaniah 3:17
"The LORD your God is in your midst, A victorious warrior. He will exult over you with joy, He will be quiet in His love, He will rejoice over you with shouts of joy"

To round off this post I bid this to you:

"May the road rise to meet you,
May the wind be always at your back,
May the sun shine warm across your face,
The rains fall soft upon your fields,
And until YOU READ again,
May God hold you in the palm of His hands!"

You Have The World At Your Feet.

Stay blessed,

Remember

Good day Family,

Remembering all that you do is a special key to enable you to live a purposeful life. The moments you share with people is so profound that even the mind cannot begin to explain the way it made you feel. Legacies are passed through generations just by remembering. It may seem small to you but its magnitude is beyond powerful.

Remember the nights you felt alone and worried; remember the nights you fell asleep without a care; remember the the people that hurt you and you forgave unconditionally; remember the people that have moved mountains just to make sure that you're safe and smiled that day; remember the sorrows that made you weep but also remember the joys that you keep...

Family, life is far too precious to waste on things that don't ultimately matter. When people walk into your life, embrace them with all you possess for the time will come when it may be too late... You don't want to be standing in the hallways thinking "If only"

Remember; Remember; Remember!

You Have The World At Your Feet!

Stay blessed,

Handover

Good day Family,

Acts of faith are commonly known as a handover to God. It means you trust Him with everything. Every situation, every worry, every grief, every trial, every outcome... hand it over to God! Don't seek your own intelligence on matters that you can't fathom.

Surrendering isn't a sign of weakness. It just means that God is number 1 in your life and you will allow Him to direct your footsteps. Being proud doesn't encourage atonement and neither does ignorance. Having knowledge and never using it is like eating without swallowing. **Pointless**

Mark 10:52 says, “Jesus said to him, ‘Go; your faith has made you well.’ Immediately he regained his sight ...”

Rick Warren (Author) said this:
"Some of you say, “I’d like to change. I’d like a fresh start. I’d like to be different, but I just can’t.” And you’re right! You can’t change. If you could, you would have already done it. You need a power greater than yourself to make the changes that really make a difference in your life."

So Let Go and Let God see to your future!

Try it and Let me know how it goes...
You have nothing to lose but everything to gain.

You Have The World At Your Feet!

Stay Blessed,

Waste Not; Want Not!

Good day Family,

The world is full of resources that are at our disposal. Everywhere you look it is available for us to use. In everyday life, we extract the resources but do we really replenish what we've use?! We waste far too much. We waste money, water, food, time and very often opportunities...

Jesus speaks to His disciples in the book of John...

John 6:12 "And when they had eaten their fill, he told his disciples, “Gather up the leftover fragments, that nothing may be lost.”

Doesn't that just blow your mind?! The food can be used to feed others; Those that don't have or even kept for the next meal. Such a simple act but so lasting in wisdom. You have enough for yourself and once you've had enough, save or distribute to others.

That principle can be used in everything in life. The word "SHARING" comes to mind. God will provide for your every need and once you've been satisfied, please go out and share what you have with the world. When you help others, you indirectly help yourself.

WASTE NOT; WANT NOT!

You Have The World At Your Feet.

Stay blessed,

Fabian Frank.

Sunrise

Good Morning Family,

As sure as the night, so shall there be a sunrise. "After every dark night, there will be a brighter day." What does this really mean? How sure are we that this will happen? Is it guaranteed? When the Heavens open and the rays of light shine through the clouds, it glistens all the earth.

So too are our lives. We face challenges each and every day as though they were dark nights. Worries beyond measure some may say. Why, though, do we choose to face them alone? Why not place it at the foot of the cross in prayer and allow God to work in our lives'?

We've become too stubborn. We seek for answers in all the wrong places. The best thing to do in the face of adversity is to pray and the best time to pray is in the morning. It sets the tone of our day. Your mind becomes in-tune with God's plan for your day. You find instant peace.

Luke 1:78 "Because of the tender mercy of our God, whereby the sunrise shall visit us from on high"

1 Thessalonians 5:5 "For you are all children of light, children of the day. We are not of the night or of the darkness."

Let God's light shine in you, so bright that the world will know His name.

You Have The World At Your Feet.

Problem VS Solution

Good morning Family,

Going through a tough time?! Life seems to get to difficult?! Wondering how you're ever going to get out of your situation?! Feeling alone?! Feeling hurt and neglected?! Confused?! Troubled?! Hardly able to sleep?!

Try this... Take your right hand and stretch it out infront of you. Spread your fingers apart. Stare at your your fingers, focus on only your fingers. That is the "problem" you're staring at. Now whilst keeping your hand in that very same position, stare through the spaces between your fingers and see what's beyond your hand. Don't move your hand! Stare beyond. That my good people is life after your problem! **REVELATION**

Far too often we find ourselves focusing on the problem far more than we actual should. You see we can acknowledge the problem, but move toward finding the solution so that we can reap the rewards of what lies beyond it. Yes you may say, "Fabian what happens when we cannot find a solution?" The answer is simple. PRAYER. We underestimate the power of prayer and lean on mere man when our soul should always be on its knees. Allow God to provide the solution as you continue living for all His intentions for you are good and not of evil nature.

Stay in faith, God's going to take you places you have never imagined.

You Have The World At Your Feet.

Stay Blessed,

Birds Fly, Eagles Soar!

Good day Family,

I've often sat back and taken a good hard look at the world. The happy, the sad, the excited, the worried... We find ourselves on more than one occasion, complaining about the winds. The winds of change that are so immanent, they alter our direction. Fear creeps in and we rather sit back on our perch.

We slip into this comfort zone where we feel invinsible but we aren't really headed anywhere. Secure but never prospering, somewhat stagnant to say the least. Have you ever watched an eagle on its perch, overlooking the horizon?! It has the world ahead of it but is unable to see, experience or feel it until it takes off.

We too are like that eagle! We have the world of endless possibilities, endless blessings bestowed by God yet we sit comfortably on our perch. Its time you get up, take flight and soar... In order to fly, you have to let go of the world you're hanging onto. Don't stress about your future because THE ONE who holds your future breathed you into life.

Eventhough the winds get rough and cold, always remember that birds need the wind to fly!
Celebrate your success and stand strong when adversity hits, for when the storm clouds come in, the eagles soar while the small birds take cover!

You have The World At Your Feet.

Stay blessed,

The Magnet

Good day Family,

How often do we as people go around speaking about how bad things are?! The hardships we're facing are unbearable?! The road ahead seems far too difficult?! Or that ever common "I don't know what I'm going to do."?! This is negativity at its best.

See, we're all like magnets... Magnets designed to attract both positive and negative things but what you speak of or feel will subsequently result in what you attract. You have to speak powerful positivity into your life. You have to dream big, work harder, be better, think stronger and achieve more... BUT all this starts with positivity.

Philippians 4:19 "And my God will supply every need of yours according to his riches in glory in Christ Jesus"

All you have to do is continue to stay in faith, do the right thing and God will ensure the perfect blessing will be sent your way at the perfect time... right down to the very second. He will ensure that you leap-frog. Yes you may say Fabian, but I don't know when and how?! But when doubt and disbelief knocked at the door, Faith answered!

You Have The World At Your Feet!

Laughter

Good day Family,

Laughter by definition:

1. To express certain emotions, especially mirth or delight, by a series of spontaneous, usually unarticulated sounds often accompanied by corresponding facial and bodily movements.

2. To show or feel amusement or good humor
3. To feel a triumphant or exultant sense of well-being

Why do we allow the negativity from others to affect us?! Time and time again people have nasty things to say and yet we feel the need to retaliate and seek revenge... What nonsense?! The best form of revenge is to be silent. A fool is hasty to speak but a wise man knows when to be silent. Be quick to listen but slow to speak.

We have been given the gift of JOY yet we forget to savour it and protect it. Happiness already belongs to you because it has been provided by God! Why give it away?! Share it rather but don't give it away. Who cares what the world thinks for when it's all said and done and you leave this earth, you are one on one with your MAKER.

You are answerable for the race you ran and not what others say you did. Live in peace, stay in faith and savour each and every moment. Be it the good, the bad or the ugly... There's lessons to be learnt in every situation. Why rush to the 5th floor of the building when God is strengthening you to walk all the way from 1st to 5th.

Make every moment count and always remember, You Have The World At Your Feet.

Stay Blessed,

Fabian Frank

Grace

Good morning Family,

We may not be good enough for some people in this world, but God thinks we're to die for! Understand that!!! He paid the price for our sin so that we may have everlasting life. Who does that?! Who loves you so much that they would let the world persecute Him just so we could have freedom?!

We receive Grace every single day without even doing anything. That's pretty special. That's mindblowing. We never deserved freedom yet it was provided for us all. You may be dead to the world but you're alive through Christ.

No matter what you do or how bad things may be, you still have a bright and blessed future. A life not only filled with joy but a life protected by GRACE.

Romans 6:14 - For sin shall not have dominion over you: for ye are not under the law, but under grace.

James 4:6 - But he giveth more grace. Wherefore he saith, God resisteth the proud, but giveth grace unto the humble.

Unmerited favour and power belongs to you! Make it count!
Go out and change the world.

You Have The World At Your Feet.

Amongst the Stars

Good day Family,

Things have been immensely deceiving of late. Feelings of disappointment have been creeping in but I refuse to allow it affect what God has in store for me. Yes, we all go through pain but the incredible part of it all is that disappointments were designed to bring you out stronger.

Rise up to the challenges that life throws at you... But also commit it do God. So often we find ourselves searching our own ability to find atonement when in actual fact, all we need to do is spend time in prayer and allow God to write our names amongst the stars.

1 Peter 5:7    
"Casting all your anxieties on him, because he cares for you."

Revelation 21:4                    
"He will wipe away every tear from their eyes, and death shall be no more, neither shall there be mourning, nor crying, nor pain anymore, for the former things have passed away.”

If you want something bad enough, go after it. If it doesn't work out know that God only takes something out of your hands to give you something better. He's never early, He's never late, He's always on-time.

You have The World At Your Feet.

What lies beneath

Good Day Family,

One of the most touchy subjects on this planet is understanding people. Their exterior is what society tells you to perceive but in actual fact God calls for a greater understanding. He calls for us to get to know people beneath the surface of superficial looks and ethnicity.

People can be very complex to understand yet we pass judgement on one other so often that it becomes an unconscious habit. To truly get someone to open up to us, we have to show that we really care for that person. Take the time to listen rather than speak and pay attention to the substance of the individual you're communicating with.

Proverbs 14:29 "Whoever is slow to anger has great understanding, but he who has a hasty temper exalts folly."

Proverbs 18:2 "A fool takes no pleasure in understanding, but only in expressing his opinion."

 I ask that we go out and build meaningful relationships with everyone we come into contact with. Help, assist and advise wherever you can for when it's all said and done, we need to feel the warmth of affection. The affection that can only be provided by God and the human spirit.

You Have The World At Your Feet.

I did it on Purpose

Good day Family,

When you woke up this morning, were you lethargic? Did you crawl out of bed and make your way to the bathroom? Did you fling your alarm clock aside or kept on pressing the snooze button? Your attitude to the day plays a pivotal role in the manner God guides your footsteps.

Begin each day as if it were on PURPOSE. Tomorrow is not guaranteed so if you're given the gift of a new day, go out and make it count. Do everything to the best of your ability for if you do all you can, God will surely take care of all you can't.

Psalm 73:26
"My flesh and my heart may fail, but God is the strength of my heart and my portion forever. "

Psalm 119:105
"Your word is a lamp to my feet and a light to my path. "

That's purpose... God's divine plan will sure come to pass but you have to want it bad enough to go out and get it. So if God has a purpose for your life, why aren't you living it on PURPOSE!

Go out and live those dreams and in doing so you will change the world.

You have The World at Your Feet.

Stay blessed,

Fabian Frank.

Praise your way to Victory

Good morning Family,

Yesterday was one of the toughest days I've experienced. My character was tested continuously by people. I was deeply hurt by things that people did to me. All I could think of was rushing home, lighting a candle at my altar and worshipping God.

You see, the funny thing is, people have no control over your destiny. The devil plays tricks on your mind to make it seem at though the world determines your footsteps. That is not the case. No matter what people say or do to you, they're not going to stop you from what God has intended for your life.

When you feel as though you're trapped by people, simply PRAISE YOUR WAY TO VICTORY! You may say: "Fabian, I don't know how and I don't know why..." but rather you should be saying, "I don't know what's going to happen to me but I know Almighty God has a plan and purpose for me!"

Romans 12:12 Rejoice in hope, be patient in tribulation, be constant in prayer.

1Samuel 26:24 Behold, as your life was precious this day in my sight, so may my life be precious in the sight of the LORD, and may he deliver me out of all tribulation.

Be still; Let God fight your battles and through it all... PRAISE YOUR WAY TO VICTORY!

You Have The World At Your Feet.

Stay Blessed,

Fabian Frank

Overcome the World

Good day Family, Joel and Victoria's Daily Ministry today... TODAY’S SCRIPTURE “I have told you these things, so that in Me you may have [perfect] peace and confidence. In the world you have tribulation and trials and distress and frustration; but be of good cheer [take courage; be confident, certain, undaunted]! For I have overcome the world. [I have deprived it of power to harm you and have conquered it for you.]” (John 16:33, AMP) TODAY’S WORD When trials and tribulations come, as children of the Most High God, we can take courage; we can be confident, and we can have perfect peace. Why? Because perfect peace doesn’t come from the world. Courage doesn’t come from the world and neither does confidence. These things come from a relationship with Almighty God. We can have hope in challenging times because God has promised us victory. As long as we stay in faith, as long as we put our trust and hope in God, we will stay in victory. No matter what you are facing today, remember, faith pleases God and opens the door for His supernatural favor, strength and wisdom. Don’t settle for defeat because you are preprogrammed for victory. Choose to thank Him for what He is doing in your life and for the victory that is on the way. Be strong, be bold and take courage today because God has overcome the world! A PRAYER FOR TODAY Father in heaven, thank You for loving and setting me free. Thank You for Your promise of peace and victory in every area of my life. I choose to keep my mind focused on You today, knowing that You always cause me to triumph in Jesus’ name. Amen. — Joel & Victoria Osteen You Have The World At Your Feet. Stay Blessed, Fabian Frank
