Several years ago, just after I came to know the LORD, He instructed me to write down everything that He was going to tell me. At first, I did not know what to do, as I was already writing down every sermon as well as keeping a journal for my quiet time. Later that Sunday, as I prepared a fire for our usual Sunday lunch barbecue, or as we call it a braai, the LORD opened a fountain inside of me that would grow over the next nine years to where it is today. And it did not stop. Every time I thought I had done what I was supposed to do, something else forced me to write down either a new article or as is known today as a blog, or something that I could add to the books that I thought I was done with. The scripture I received from the LORD that day was Jeremiah 30 verse 2. “Thus speaketh the LORD God of Israel, saying, Write thee all the words that I have spoken unto thee in a book.” This one book has now grown to more than 40 books, plus numerous articles.

Over many years, a lot happened in my life, but the LORD has always been faithful and spoke to me concerning Israel and their exodus of Egypt, and how this should serve as an example to us in committing our lives to the LORD. Eventually, I decided in 2001 to take up my fingers and start writing what you are reading. This was done firstly in Afrikaans, my first language, and translated or re-written in English starting in 2003. Only after finishing the original book did I look again at Jeremiah 30 again. I must admit that I knew the contents of verse two, but only then found out that verse three dealt with a promise that the LORD would one day bring Israel back to the Promised Land and that they would take possession of the land. The moment I saw this verse, I suddenly realized that the LORD is always faithful, as all the time He was dealing with me; he used Israel as an example. This is then also the way I will handle most questions, through using Israel as an example in answering the questions I had. This will provide us with a definitive answer on how to take possession of and keep possession of the Promised Land.
