 A warm
welcome to Francois du Toit,
new columnist on Nosy Rosy.
Francois and Lydia have lived in Hermanus since January
1997. Their four children, Renaldo, Tehilla, Christo and
Stefan were all schooled in Hermanus.
His grandparents from both parents, lived in Hermanus;
His grandmother Helen de Wet was the first school
teacher in the Hemel and Aarde Valley in the late 1890's
until she married Stoffel Francois du Toit, a wagon
builder from Worcester, in 1906. The de Wet's huis
Museum belonged to his great-grandfather.
After studying at the University of Pretoria he worked
in fulltime mission for fourteen years, during which
time he also pastored a church and led a training
facility for more than 700 students over a five year
period.
For another fourteen years they worked mainly in the
tourism industry.
In December 2000 he started writing the book, "God
believes in You" which led to him being invited to
speak at various Christian camps and churches.
He is back in fulltime ministry since February 2004, and
travels at least once a year abroad and almost every
month into Africa and around South Africa.
Their ministry, Mirror Word, is affiliated to Alan Plath
of Doxa Deo.
Francois has written several books in both English and
Afrikaans, and is also doing paraphrase translations of
key books of the Bible from the original Greek text.

JOY TO THE WORLD
We bring you good news of great
joy which shall be for all the
people...
The best news is irrelevant if
you are excluded. Who cares if
the Red Sox beat the Blue Sox in
baseball if you are not in on
the deal!
Jesus must be the most
celebrated individual on planet
earth.
When they cash up their tills at
the end of the season, even the
Jews would sing, "What a friend
we have in Jesus!"
So what is so fascinating about
Jesus and Christmas, what made
the Christmas event so
significant that it splits human
history into a before and after?
Why should we start counting our
calendar then?
As much as the soccer world is
counting down the days and
holding their breath for the
next World Cup, even twenty ten
will soon be forgotten!
I was in Argentina in 1978 when
they beat Holland in extra time
to win the Mundial. Nothing
could thrill the Argentines
more; for a brief moment they
could forget the agony of their
disastrous economy. For days on
end celebration noise erupted
continuously and spontaneously.
This was their dream turned
tangible!
But moments and memories fade...
When the Creator of the universe
visited our planet, He came
camouflaged in frail form, no
red carpet reception, no drum
roll, not even a room in the
hotel, no news coverage.
Except of course, for the angels
announcing their news of great
joy to the shepherds who braved
the night to protect their flock
from the wolves and thieves.
Mary did not have the luxury of
choice, a home birth or
hospital; no, a smelly stable
had to suffice.
From the start He associated
Himself with the outcast,
mankind in their lowest and
loneliest state, to taste their
humiliation, scorn and
ultimately their death.
None of the local authorities or
religious leaders knew, only a
few foreigners from the East who
pursued and embraced wisdom came
bringing their gifts.
Why did He come? Certainly not
to form a new political party,
or introduce a new philosophy or
set of rules; He did not come to
establish the Christian
religion, nor to form a new
social club called the 'church'.
He came to reveal and redeem the
blueprint image and likeness of
God in human form. Genesis
1:26,27. God's plan has always
been to reveal His image and
likeness in tangible human life.
His birth, His life, His death
and His resurrection is God's
voice, God's language addressing
the whole world as His audience.
Every prophetic thought that God
spoke in ancient times
culminates in Him.
Christ mirror's your life and
reveals the integrity of your
original design, not as an
example for you, but of you.
He calls God his Father and is
not ashamed to call us His
brethren – we come from the same
source! We originate in the same
thought.
In Acts 17 Paul addresses the
Greek philosophers and says that
"the Creator is not far from
each one of us, in Him we live
and move and have our being, we
are indeed His offspring."
Jesus clearly stated that the
lost coin did not lose its
original value or inscription.
"Bring me a coin, whose image
and inscription does it bear?
Return to Caesar what belongs to
Caesar and to God what belongs
to God."
"The earth is the Lord's and the
fullness thereof, the world and
those who dwell in it.' Psalm
24:1.
Mankind is both the invention
and property of God.
He did not arrive at the wrong
planet, He came to His own.
He came to cancel distance,
every possible definition of it.
"Every high place was made
level, every valley was filled
up, every crooked place was made
straight, even the rough places
were made smooth." Every excuse
we could ever have to feel
distanced, neglected or
separated from God, He deleted.
Luke 3:5. Also every wall of
hostility between us, whether it
is cultural, ethnic or
historical, He broke down.
His gift to the world came
wrapped in human form, the Word
that was before time was, became
flesh, so that we may now behold
Him as in a mirror and be
transformed into His likeness.
John 1:1,14, 2 Corinthians 3:18.
He did not come to introduce a
new compromised set of rules,
instead He mirror reveals our
original identity.
When we know and even worship
Christ from a mere historic
point of view we miss the point;
we might even feel very
emotional and sentimental about
Christmas and Easter and shed a
few sincere tears, but we will
never know His life transforming
power there!
The miracle of heart
transformation only takes place
in the mirror, nothing changes
when we're in
window-shopping-mode! 2
Cor.3:18.
'In Your presence (Hebrew: face
to face with You) is fullness of
joy' Psalm 16:11.
Fullness of joy is to see the
Father's face mirrored in the
reflection of your own eyes.
This was the moment when, in the
movie, 'the Lion King' the cub
discovered his true identity.
The law of association is the
essence of faith. "Surely He has
borne our sorrows, and carried
our pains, the chastisement that
brought us peace was upon Him
and by His stripes we were
healed." Isaiah 53:4,5.
The word "associate" means that
there exists a union between
different parties, which makes
it impossible to ignore or
exclude any party from the other
when one is brought to mind.
In the mind of God, Jesus
immediately represents mankind.
God is intimately acquainted
with man in the essence of His
eternal thought. In the depths
of His Being He sees man in His
own image and likeness. When God
imagined us and fashioned us in
union with Christ, He had an
excellence of expression in mind
that would be consistent with
His expectation and true to our
original design. His work of
redemption had to match this.
In 1995 the drop goal of Joel
Stransky sealed the Rugby World
Cup for South Africa. Every
South African was represented,
whether they saw the match or
not; not to believe the result
does not make the victory
invalid.
While religion keeps man
entertained and enslaved to
various rules and regulations to
seek to improve conduct through
the disciplines of willpower,
faith introduces the initiative
of God to reconcile Himself with
man. "Behold the Lamb of God,
who takes away the sin of the
world."
In the 1890's, Marie Curie
discovered Radium with an
instrument that her husband,
Professor Pierre Curie designed.
Without this instrument it was
impossible to detect its
presence.
Radium spontaneously and
continuously transmits
radioactive energy. This
valuable and rare element is a
mere one millionth of a percent
present in the ore that carries
it. Yet the ore takes its value
from the treasure it holds. This
is exactly true about human
life.
Even in the most corrupt and
evil life, we must believe that
the value of the human spirit
remains intact in its full
potential.
It is impossible to measure
temperature with a ruler. Christ
is the only true measure of our
lives.
The gift of Christ gives
dimension to grace and defines
our individual value.
"Grace was given to each one of
us according to the measure of
the gift of Christ." Eph.4:7.
In South Africa we often allow
ourselves through ignorance to
continue to feel disadvantaged
and defeated. The economy is not
the measure of your life, your
history or political situation
does not qualify to measure
you...
Christ is the only accurate
measure of our lives; He is the
exact exhibit and blueprint of
our design, the image and
likeness of God in human form!
The cross = our sins; the
resurrection = our innocence.
Rom.4:25.
We are dealing with an already
saved, delivered, healed and
innocent world!
Our reference is Christ;
therefore we herald good news of
great joy which is relevant to
the entire world!
What an insult to the cross, and
accusation to our silence, if
all we see is how sinful and
wicked this world is; while
something happened to mankind in
Christ that is out of all
proportion to Adam's
transgression.
Let us lift up our eyes and see
and proclaim the success of the
cross, how ripe the harvest of
His labour already is. It
happened in those three awesome
days, "Destroy this temple and
in three days I will raise it
up!" John 2:19, Hosea 6:2.
He did!
"Know ye not that your body is
His temple!" He does not live in
buildings or institutions made
by man.
The strategy of God to touch and
change the world is for His
ekklesia-church (His image and
likeness in human form) to
awaken to their true identity
and innocence in Christ.
God has greatly benefitted
humanity in the gift of Christ.
Christ is gift wrapped in you!

Fonteinvarsgedagtes Februarie 1
Jesus gee definisie aan elke
mens, nie as ‘n voorbeeld vir
die mens om na te streef nie,
maar as voorbeeld van die mens
om te besef. Hy regverdig die
skeppingsontwerp van die mens.”
Kol.2:8-10. In vers 16-23
verduidelik Paulus hoedat elke
profetiese skadubeeld van die Ou
Verbond oortref word deur die
vervulling van alles in Christus.
Hy is die openbaring van die
nuwe skepping. Die wet kon
alleen as skadubeeld verwys na
‘n groter realiteit. Jesus is
die vervulling van die volmaakte
verlossingsplan van God.
Fonteinvarsgedagtes Februarie 2
Die hele Bybel gaan oor Jesus,
maar Jesus gaan oor jou! Jesus
is God se finale uitspraak oor
die mens. Dit maak die Bybel
relevant! “Nadat God baiekeer en
op baie maniere in die ou tyd
gespreek het tot die vaders deur
die profete, het Hy in hierdie
laaste dae tot ons gespreek deur
die Seun wat Hy as erfgenaam van
alles aangestel het, deur wie Hy
ook die węreld gemaak het. Hy,
wat die afskynsel is van sy
heerlikheid en die afdruksel van
sy wese en alle dinge dra deur
die woord van sy krag, nadat Hy
deur Homself die reiniging van
ons sondes bewerk het, het gaan
sit aan die regterhand van die
Majesteit in die hoogte.”
Heb.1:1-3. Dit wat Sy woord
kragtig maak is die feit dat die
afdruksel van Sy wese en die
afskynsel van Sy heerlikheid
weer in die vlees geopenbaar
word! Die mens se probleem is
nie meer sonde nie, maar onkunde!
Fonteinvarsgedagtes Februarie 3
Onkunde en ongeloof beroof die
mens van die kennis van sy ware
identiteit. “Immers, sy
goddelike krag het ons alles
geskenk wat tot die lewe en
godsvrug dien, deur die kennis
van Hom wat ons geroep het deur
sy heerlikheid en deug. Maar hy
by wie hierdie dinge nie
aanwesig is nie, is blind en
kortsigtig, en het die reiniging
van sy vorige sondes vergeet.”
2Pet.1:3,9. Die feit dat die
mens nie verlossing sien en
besef nie, kan nooit verlossing
ongeldig maak nie! Besef maak
geloofswaardering wakker. 'n
Verharde hart wat weier om die
waarheid te gehoorsaam, bly 'n
gevangene van 'n minderwaardige
lewe selfs al is die persoon
inderwaarheid net so vry,
vergewe en verlos soos enige
ander mens.
Fonteinvarsgedagtes Februarie 4
’n Witkruisarend word vrygelaat
nadat hy vir 10 jaar in die
Pretoriase dieretuin op hok was.
Die hok sit egter steeds in die
kop en die arend besef nie hy’s
vry nie. Eers baie later toe ’n
ander witkruisarend in die
omgewing begin roep, toe gebeur
daar iets met die dieretuinarend,
die bekende stem maak die
vryheid in hom wakker!
Onmiddelik styg hy op en binne
oomblike sirkelsweef hy spontaan
saam met die ander arend! (Sonder
vlieglesse!)
Fonteinvarsgedagtes Februarie 5
“Dit sę en betuig ek dan in die
Here, dat julle nie meer moet
wandel soos die ander heidene
ook wandel in die verdwaasdheid
van hulle gemoed nie, mense wat
verduisterd is in die verstand
en vervreemd van die lewe van
God deur die onkunde wat in
hulle is vanweë die verharding
van hulle hart; wat ongevoelig
geword het en hulle oorgegee het
aan die ongebondenheid om in
hebsug allerhande onreinheid te
bedrywe. Maar julle het Christus
nie so leer ken nie, as julle
ten minste van Hom gehoor het en
in Hom onderrig is soos die
waarheid is in Jesus: dat julle,
wat die vorige lewenswandel
betref die oue mens moet aflę
wat deur die begeerlikhede van
die verleiding te gronde gaan.”
Ef.4:17-22. “Die Naam van die
Here word geopenbaar in Sy
vakmansskap, Hy gee rotsvaste
identiteit aan Sy werk, dat dit
volmaak is! Sy naam onderskei Sy
produk! Maar die Steenrots wat
jou verwek het, het jy
veronagsaam; en jy het die God
vergeet wat jou voortgebring het.”
Deut.32:3,4,18. “Luister na My,
julle wat die geregtigheid
najaag, wat die HERE soek!
Aanskou die rots waaruit julle
gekap is en die steengroef
waaruit julle gegrawe is.”
Jes.51:1.
Fonteinvarsgedagtes Februarie 6
“En toe die huis gebou is, is
dit gebou van klippe, kant en
klaar uit die breekplek: hamers
en koubeitels, enige
yster-gereedskap, is nie gehoor
by die huis toe dit gebou is nie.”
1Kon.6:7.
“Wat die beeld betref, sy hoof
was van goeie goud, sy bors en
sy arms van silwer, sy buik en
sy lendene van koper, sy bene
van yster, sy voete gedeeltelik
van yster en gedeeltelik van
klei. U het gekyk totdat daar
sonder toedoen van mensehande 'n
klip losraak wat die beeld
getref het aan sy voete van
yster en van klei en dit
fyngestamp het. Toe is
tegelykertyd die yster, die klei,
die koper, die silwer en die
goud fyngestamp, en dit het soos
kaf geword van die dorsvloere in
die somer, wat die wind wegneem,
sodat daar geen spoor van gevind
is nie; maar die klip wat die
beeld getref het, het 'n groot
rots geword wat die hele aarde
gevul het. Dan.2:34,35. Die
openbaring van die mens se
bloudruk ontwerp en volkome
verlossing sal die aarde vul met
die kennis van God se
heerlikheid soos die waters die
see volmaak. Strome van lewende
water uit die binneste van die
mens.
Fonteinvarsgedagtes Februarie 7
“In plaas van die doring kom die
sipres op, in plaas van die
brandknekel, die mirte.”
Jes.55:6-11,13. In Christus bly
die ware identiteit van die mens
behoue tenspyte van die val van
Adam. Jesus is die bloudruk van
die mens se oorsprong. Die
negatief van die foto bewaar die
oorspronklike oomblik. Die beeld
en naam van God is in die mens
gegraveer. Die verlore penning
verloor nooit sy waarde nie, die
beeld en inskripsie bly in plek
as bevestiging van dit wat die
stukkie metaal oorspronklik
onderskei as koopkrag. Mark.
12:15-17. “Sodat hulle die Here
kon soek, of hulle Hom miskien
kon aanraak en vind, al is Hy
nie ver van elkeen van ons nie;
want in Hom lewe ons, beweeg ons
en is ons, soos sommige van
julle digters ook gesę het: Want
ons is ook sy geslag. As ons dan
die geslag van God is, moet ons
nie dink dat die godheid aan
goud of silwer of steen, die
beeldwerk van menslike kuns en
uitvinding, gelyk is nie.”
Hand.17:27-29.
Fonteinvarsgedagtes Februarie 8
“Wie sę die mens is die Seun van
die mens? Die Seun van die mens
is die Seun van God!”
Matt.16:13-18. Hierdie vraag
onderstreep die hoofdoel van
Jesus se koms. Hy openbaar die
ware oorsprong en geestelike
identiteit van die mens. Jesus
vra die vraag wat Sy ekklesia,
die Nuwe Testamentiese kerk, die
antwoord van is. Jesus het nie
gekom om Sy eie identiteit te
verdedig of uitsluitlik te
openbaar nie. Hy beleef nie ‘n
identiteitskrisis nie! In die
besef dat Jesus die Christus is
as seun van die mens; dat Hy
inderwaarheid die seun van God
is, ontdek Simon terselfdertyd
sy eie ware identiteit! “Salig
is jy, Simon seun van Jona, want
vlees en bloed het dit nie aan
jou geopenbaar nie, maar My
Vader wat in die hemel is. Ek sę
vir jou, jy is Petrus, die Rots,
want op hierdie Petra, die Rots
waaruit jy gekap is, sal Ek My
kerk (ekklesia) bou.” Grieks,
ekklesia, die woordjie bestaan
uit twee woorde, ek, ’n
voorsetsel wat die oorsprong
bepaal, + kaleo, om deur ‘n naam
ge-eien te word. (Die bekende
stem van die Arend!) Die doel
van die kerk is om die ware
oorspronklike identiteit van die
mens te openbaar en te bevestig!
Fonteinvarsgedagtes Februarie 9
“Kom na Hom toe, die lewende
steen wat deur die mense wel
verwerp is, maar by God
uitverkore en kosbaar is; en
laat julle ook soos lewende
stene opbou, tot 'n geestelike
huis, 'n heilige priesterdom, om
geestelike offers te bring wat
aan God welgevallig is deur
Jesus Christus. Daarom staan dit
ook in die Skrif: Kyk, Ek lę in
Sion 'n uitverkore en kosbare
hoeksteen, en die wat in Hom glo,
sal nooit beskaam word nie. Vir
julle dan wat glo, is Hy kosbaar;
maar vir die ongelowiges geld
die woord: Die steen wat die
bouers verwerp het, dit het 'n
hoeksteen geword; en: 'n Steen
des aanstoots en 'n rots van
struikeling.” 1Pet.2:4-7,
Jes.28:15,16.
Fonteinvarsgedagtes Februarie 10
Jesus is meer as 'n Jood. “En
die Samaritaanse vrou sę vir Hom:
Hoe is dit dat U wat 'n Jood is,
van my vra om te drink terwyl ek
'n Samaritaanse vrou is? Want
die Jode hou geen gemeenskap met
die Samaritane nie. Jesus
antwoord en sę vir haar: As jy
die gawe van God geken het en
geweet het wie Hy is wat vir jou
sę: Gee vir My water om te
drink, sou jy Hom gevra het en
Hy sou vir jou lewende water
gegee het. maar elkeen wat drink
van die water wat Ek hom sal
gee, sal in ewigheid nooit dors
kry nie, maar die water wat Ek
hom sal gee, sal in hom word 'n
fontein van water wat opspring
tot in die ewige lewe.”
Joh.4:9,10,14. Jesus verwys die
Samaritaase vrou na ‘n groter
oorsprong (fontein) as haar
natuurlike herkoms, ‘n oorsprong
wat selfs haar verwysing na
Jakob as haar oervader oortref.
THOUGHTS FOR LIFE
THOUGHTS FOR LIFE February 1
Paul often laboured with his own
hands not to put any burden on
the people he ministered to, yet
he was never known as Paul the
tentmaker; even his apostleship
was not a formal title but
rather a description of his
passion; he was driven by the
word to make all men see. Acts
18:3,5, 1Thess.2:7-9, Acts
20:33, 1Thess.4:11,12,
2Thess.3:6-13. To him life in
the flesh meant fruitful labour;
everything that happened to him
only served to advance the
gospel. Phil.1:12, 21-25. Not
even a prison cell could dim or
frustrate his vision; he
continued to see the word
unfettered by his circumstances.
2Tim.2:9. He remained fully
convinced that his ministry
would never be ineffective or in
vain; neither would he be like
an aimless boxer just beating
the air. 1Cor.9:26, and chapter
15:58. He understood the value
of the individual and knew that
the key to reaching the next
person was in reaching the one.
2Cor.5:16, 10:12-16, 2Tim.2:2.
THOUGHTS FOR LIFE February 2
Jesus never underestimated the
individual, regardless of their
reputation; He reaches the city
of Sychar through one woman.
John 4:40-42. In Mark 5:19+20,
He sees ten cities in one man’s
testimony! (Dekapolis = 10
cities.) Phillip is led by the
Spirit on a lonely road to
introduce one Ethiopian to
Christ; there is a continent in
the individual! Acts 8:26-40.God
addresses an audience in the
individual that includes the
nations; He sees humanity in one
man! Ps.2:7,8.
THOUGHTS FOR LIFE February 3
Paul is not led by open doors,
but by the knowledge that God
always leads us in triumph and
through us spreads the fragrance
of the knowledge of Him
everywhere. 2Cor.2:12-14. God
saw so much more in Gideon than
what Gideon saw in himself.
Before he encountered the word
of the Lord, his life was
reduced to mere survival. Judges
6:11,12,14 –16.
THOUGHTS FOR LIFE February 4
God watches over His word to
perform it! Jer.1:5-12. Jeremiah
sees an almond tree; the Hebrew
name for an almond tree means
the tree that has woken up,
since it is the first tree to
blossom and bear fruit while all
the other trees are still
sleeping! ‘You say there are yet
four months, then comes the
harvest, I tell you, lift up
your eyes and see how the fields
are already white for harvest! I
sent you to reap that for which
you did not labour; others have
laboured that you may enter into
their labour!’ John 4:35,38.
‘All this is from God, who
through Christ reconciled us to
Himself and gave us the ministry
of reconciliation; God making
His appeal through us. Being
co-labourers therefore with Him,
we beseech you, “be reconciled!
Do not accept His grace in
vain!” Behold now is the
acceptable time; behold now is
the day of salvation!’
2Cor.5:18-20, 6:1. Righteousness
by faith says: ‘God has wrought
it; of God are you in Christ, He
has done it, we enter into His
finished work, we enter into His
rest (the fruit of His labour)
where we cease from our own
labours! Today when you hear His
voice, do not harden your heart.
Hebrews 4:2,7,10. Is.26:12.
THOUGHTS FOR LIFE February 5
Uneducated, ordinary men turned
their world upside down. Acts
1:5-8, 4:13, chapter 17:6,
1Cor.1:26-31, Heb.12:1-3, Acts
5:5-7, 26, 27, 40. Acts 10:1, 5,
28. ‘There remains yet much land
to be possessed!’ Josh.13:1. All
of Asia heard the word within
two years as a result of focused
ministry coming from one school!
Acts 19:8-11. ‘Get you up into a
high mountain, O herald of Good
Tidings, lift up your voice with
strength!’ Is.40:9. Picture the
body language of the messengers
returning from the battlefield
with the glad tidings of
victory! ‘How beautiful upon the
mountains are the feet of him
who brings good tidings, who
publishes peace, who brings good
tidings of good; who publishes
salvation!’ Isaiah 52:7.
THOUGHTS FOR LIFE February 6
Begin to live the life God
imagines for you. We are
designed to live by the
expression of God’s opinion of
us, ‘by every word that proceeds
from the mouth of God.’ Mathew
4:4
THOUGHTS FOR LIFE February 7
In the natural, physical realm,
‘we possess nothing but the
moment; polish it like a jewel’
E. Goudge. Appreciation polishes
the moment and brings out the
brilliance of every hidden
beauty. Within the moment there
lies a potential energy that can
either harm or bless you.
Cultivate the habit to embrace
beauty. Moments store energy in
memory. Learn how to extract the
vital energy. Appreciation,
admiration and affection reflect
virtue and value; this is the
essence of life.
THOUGHTS FOR LIFE February 8
Let the light of God’s favour
dispel the negative of failure.
A sense of failure will poison
your system and paralyse your
faith. Encourage yourself in
God. ‘The communication of your
faith promotes the knowledge of
every good thing that is in you
in Christ Jesus.’ Paul’s letter
to Philemon verse 6.
THOUGHTS FOR LIFE February 9
Identify the times of
breakthrough and victory. Bring
to mind those images of joy.
Remember His divine protection
and provision. Remind yourself
what it feels like to be totally
overwhelmed by God’s goodness
and presence. Spiritual and
eternal realities always put
physical and time-related
experiences into proper
perspective.
THOUGHTS FOR LIFE February 10
Surround yourself with
gratitude; this makes it
impossible for self-pity, anger
or disappointment to gain any
ground. Celebrate the success of
the cross. Redemption is valid.
