My Strength

“The Lord God is my strength. He makes me like a deer that does not stumble so I can walk on the steep mountains” – Habakkuk 3 verse 19.

How amazing is our God. He, if we put our trust and faith in him, can be our strength and help us overcome difficulties. He can help us move on the steep mountains of life that face each on of us. Lets put our strength in God!

God Bless

Why Gods Champions?

Its all about honouring the God Almighty. The giver of talent, allowing us to honour Him through challenging it to the maximum.

I believe that when I started this blog I was led by the Holy Spirit to be part of Sportsmen and Women, from all walks of life giving their testimony of faith,their walk with God and the role that God has played in their lives and more so within their sporting lives. That picture still remains, however the purpose has shifted through the posts to also include and share about my walk, others walk and sharing of their faith and ultimately challenging ourselves, athletes and coaches to walk an unwavering road to the ultimate prize.

As sporting professionals (athletes and coaches) we have been blessed by the Lord God with abundant talents and it is always amazing for me to see how they are abel to utilise these God given talents within the sporting arena. More so it is encouraging for me to see how through our bodies and talents, you are able honour God through their faith.
My wish, as when I started this blog, is that a platform is created for Christian sporting soldiers, a platform to profess their faith, interact with other believers and provide support and strength from and too one another.

During the Beijing 2008 SA Olympic trials, I was amazed to see the faith of some of our swimmers that I was working with at that time and how they swam for God, were willing to publicly profess their faith and in turn become inspiration for fellow athletes. These swimmers, along with many other athletes were and are an inspiration to me personally and i trust that through this blog, them and many others will be able to spread the gospel.

In reading Ecclesiates one morning before coaching, during the time of starting this blog, I came across this in Chapter 3 v 1-9. It is all based around the fact that God says there is a Time & Place for everything.This I believe is one of the greatest challenges for many athletes especially when they are looking for performance BUT it may not be the right time. What a challenge for each one of us to know that God has a plan for a us all. Sometimes it is not evident to us, other times it is, but just maintaining the faith and belief in him we will move towards glorifying His name.

I was challenged a few years back with Proverbs 16v3 (Commit everything to the Lord and your plans will succeed). I still would like to commit this blog to Him and I trust and pray that it is used to the fullfitment of His name and prophecy. God Bless to all who enters this site and especially to all those athletes who are walking the tightrope of life and sport.
