Erlo Stegen has gone home.
What a glorious welcome to his well-deserved heavenly rest.
Meanwhile, my heart is shattered. He was more than my great uncle. He was my other dad, my confidant, my friend. The loss here is immeasurable. #ErloStegen#kwasizabantu
Even the ocean hears His voice and obeys. You’re worried about the storm. Ha. God is the storm. Buckle up. Sit back and watch the miracle He’s about to unleash in your life. Oh ye of little faith. Take heed and know you ain’t God. He’s not finished yet. Watch.
“Our God is able to deliver us from the fiery furnace, and he will deliver us out of your hand, O king. But if not, be it known to you, O king, that we will not worship the golden image that you have set up.” Daniel 3:17–18
From death or in death we will be delivered.
Do not rejoice when your enemies fall,and when they stumble, do not let your heart exult,Lest the LORD see it, be displeased with you,and withdraw his wrath from your enemies.
Proverbs 24:17-18
I myself will pasture my sheep; I myself will give them rest. The lost I will search out, the strays I will bring back, the injured I will bind up, and the sick I will heal; but the sleek and the strong I will destroy. I will shepherd them in judgment.
Ezekiel 34:15-16
“Trust in the Lord with all your heart,
and lean not on your own understanding; In all your ways acknowledge Him, and He shall direct your paths.” (Proverbs 3:5-6)
a great multitude...from every nation,race,people & tongue...stood before the throne & before the Lamb,wearing white robes & holding palm branches in their hands.They cried out in a loud voice: “Salvation comes from our God,who is seated on the throne & from the Lamb”
Rev 7:9-10
“You have disheartened the righteous falsely ... and you have encouraged the wicked, that he should not turn from his evil way to save his life.” Ezekiel 13:22
There is encouragement that leads to death.
Psalm 37:5-6 ESV
Commit your way to the LORD; trust in him, and he will act. [6] He will bring forth your righteousness as the light, and your justice as the noonday.
Great are the works of the LORD,studied by all who delight in them. Majestic and glorious is his work,his righteousness endures forever.
Psalms 111: 2-3
