Sometimes in life you meet a person and by meeting this person your life is totally changed. This happened to me when I met Gerrit in 1978. His attitude towards life was from the first day I met him one of having a vision to know what your purpose in life is, to never give up on that what you believe. One of his famous sayings was “A winner never quits and a quitter never wins”. He shared his life with me, our children, our grandchildren and with many people around the world through a lifestyle of discipleship. I think the teaching that touched so many people’s lives were that we are created in God’s image and likeness to be fruitful and multiply and that we have to grow back into the image and likeness of God. Together we ministered, equipped and empowered the Bride so that she can prepare herself with deeds of righteousness for the coming of the Messiah. Revelation 19:7
The vision of Hebrew People will continue through the legacy that Gerrit has left behind. Myself, and ALL our children will continue the legacy with the help of the Father. It is time that we will live lives set apart to reveal God’s image and likeness in everything that we will do. “For the creation waits in eager expectation for the children of God to be revealed.” Romans 8:19 We have to live lives of faith prophetically for this to happen. The only thing that pleases God is faith. Let us run the race of faith through love. Love towards God and towards our fellow men because by this all men will know that you are My disciples if you have love for one another. Now abides faith, hope and love but the greatest of it all is love.
Let us prepare ourselves with deeds of righteousness by listening and obeying our Father in heaven. Sharing our lives through love with one another that together we will make a difference in lives of others through discipleship.
