We had a beautiful morning with no wind and a clear sky. I could not wait to get to the golf course that afternoon for a quick 9 holes. Playing on an 18 handicap, I really enjoyed my game and had a few good shots.

My name is Lindsay Smit. My testimony is about God’s provision. Round about half way through 2007 things were pretty tough financially for us. We were not managing to make it through the month as far as groceries and petrol was concerned. Anyway, I had been going through the book of Matthew and got to Matthew 6: 9 -13 which is the Lord’s Prayer. Verse 11 says Give us today our daily bread. So I began asking God each day to provide our daily bread. A couple days later I read Matthew 7:25 – 34 Therefore I tell you, do not worry about your life, what you will eat or drink or about your body, what you will wear. Is not life more important than food, and the body more important than, clothes? Look at the birds of the air, they do not sow or reap or store away in barns, and yet your heavenly Father feeds them. Are you not much more valuable than they? Who of you by worrying can add a single hour to his life? And why do you worry about clothes? See how the lilies of the field grow. They do not labour or spin. Yet I tell you that not even Solomon in all his splendour was dressed like one of these. If that is how God clothes the grass of the field, which is here today and tomorrow is thrown into the fire, will he not much more clothe you, O you of little faith? So, do not worry, saying, ‘What shall we eat?’ or ‘What shall we drink?’ or ‘What shall we wear?’ For the pagans run after all these things, and your heavenly Father knows that you need them. But seek first His kingdom and His righteousness, and all these things will be given to you as well. Therefore do not worry about tomorrow, for tomorrow will worry about itself. This just cemented in what God had been saying to me through the Lord’s Prayer. 

When Trevor asked for testimonies a few Sundays ago, I thought, “Yes, there are a few I could share” but then decided that any ONE testimony could NEVER tell all God has done for me so folks, please just allow me to say that if there is anyone who is prepared to stand up and fight for, bring glory and honour to, Jesus – it is I. Allow me to tell you that from my own personal experiences with Our Loving Father, Jesus Christ, (and there have been many) everything you hear from the pulpit of this wonder-filled and spirit driven church is 100% TRUE. 

Sounds totally outrageous! But the petrol price can come down. In July 2008 I looked at the petrol price, which by that time had reached R10.40 per liter! This was absolutely ridiculous as it was now becoming impossible to make ends meet. I therefore spoke to my wife, Dianne. I asked her, “Do you believe that the price of petrol can come down on the first Wednesday in August?” Her answer was, “Why not?” So I said, “Then let us trust God that the price of petrol would decrease by R2.50 per liter.”
