How is your new guy or lady?

“He’s or she’s great,” she/he said, gushing with happiness. And, she/he stopped right there. She/he didn’t say, “but...” And I knew she/he has settled and found what she/he was searching for.

I personally believe that when a relationship is good (healthy) there are no buts. I’m not saying that healthy relationships are perfect. They aren’t because people have flaws. However I know that when someone is truly making you happy, you are only sharing... good news about that person and your relationship.

The things we say about our partners, partners, parents, friends, colleagues, bosses etc., says a lot about our relationships with them. Words reveal the true issues of the heart! LISTEN to yourself when you are talking to other people about your partner. Listen to the words that come out of your mouth. That says everything about whether or not the relationship is making you happy.


Experienced people can tell if your relationship is going to last or end nowhere by simply what you say.

Retirement or pension fund





Withdrawing from your retirement or pension fund


Don’t pay your debt through your retirement or pension funds.

R10000 withdrawn today from your retirement or pension fund may look insignificant but will affect the compounded interest attached to these forms of savings. For example R10000 with a compounded interest of 10% is a lot of money after 10 years. Therefore even though R10000 looks small today, it is a growth part of it that you will lose.

Also, you will incur unnecessary tax implications due to those early withdrawals and it could negatively affect your investment growth.

Unless you have exhausted all other available options, try to leave your retirement or pension savings alone for the future.

Another tip: When you change jobs, don’t cash your retirement or pension fund from your previous job. Carry it over in totality to the next fund with the new employer. Please don’t eat your investments growths. Although it is tempting to do it, don’t do it!

Having sex is a choice

Having sex is a choice






To have sex takes a choice, thinking about it and planning. No one should blame it on a temptation. Everyone who has had sex before or who is still having sex today has thought about it, decided and planned to do so. We can’t accidentally find ourselves in someone’s arms unknowingly. It doesn’t require a miracle or magic to have sex, but thoughts, feelings and desire followed by actions.


Sometimes young people come to me feeling guilty for their sexual act saying, ‘Pastor, I made a mistake’. Unfortunately I don’t agree with that notion. Still, if I have to agree they have made a mistake, I would classify the mistake as a deliberate mistake.


It is a deliberate mistake because it was deeply thought of; the desire was nurtured and the plan made to act on it. All sexual encounters are pre-planned! That is why if we deliberately make mistakes we will have to bear the consequences.
