8th of September 2017

It’s another 8^th of September and oh my, I am again filled with gratitude to God for being GOD through the last one year. For giving me testimonies of deliverance, abundant grace, growth, health, provision, protection and advancement and for those He put in my path who have added to the ongoing story – my journey. It’s exciting to know what lies ahead and to know God has got it all planned, worked out and secured 😊 and yes by God the number of my days shall be completed and purpose fulfilled in Jesus name (Job 5:26,27).

So, here’s to declaring a happy happy birthday to me and all the Septembites, more of God and His goodness in our lives. Keep shinning

The Word Works

It’s been a while I put something down…..

And woohoo, it’s the 7^th Month in the year (2017), I can attest to the fact that there is so much to be thankful for. Hence, I have decided to take the time to share a testimony, to express my gratitude especially to an amazing God and His expression of Love through His word……

Earlier in the year, I had experienced some health challenges and had to visit the hospital seemingly every month. The symptoms ranged from dizziness, to chest pains, back pains, abdominal pains, helicobacter infections……..the frequent visits resulting in tests, treatments and the likes. Having been away from hospitals for almost 9 years, this experience seemed unusual, uncomfortable and questionable.

I had always declared God’s word regarding healing every now and again and do believe in divine health, but this time I realised the need for consistency in the face of raging adversity (stubborn symptoms and fear) - this included reading and listening to the words on healing, speaking these words especially when the symptoms where speaking and refusing to allow fear or doubt get the best of me. And I can say that in the mist of it all, God’s word came alive in my heart and mind and my body. The change was amazing to say the least. 

Some of the lessons learned:

• Surround your mind with the right words that agree with what you want to see
• Be consistent with the word of God - In consistency lies the power
• Don’t believe otherwise regardless of the symptoms – act what you want see
• Listen for sound counsel
• Keep Trusting God 

My Prayer!

My prayer for believers:

When/if the enemy comes with thoughts/experiences contrary to what we believe in the word (of God) for our lives, that we receive the grace to stand with the word...condemn every lie (any word, experience that is contrary to what God has declared in His word).

My prayer for people searching for THE truth:

May you come in contact with the truth (the gospel about God and His redemption act) and when you do, may your hearts be opened to receive this gospel; 'Good news'. May God by His spirit draw you to Himself; giving you that opportunity to have an amazing relationship with him - It is worth your life. 

We are destined to win and win we shall

Testify Sunday!

So its testify Sunday, and I thought to share this testimony

I woke up on Saturday morning, and noticed a part of my body was red - same as when there is a blood clot at a spot. I wasn’t sure what caused this and you can guess the ‘enemy of our soul’ never misses the chance to proffer suggestions of what it could be and yes with the symptoms to follow.

Nevertheless, I allowed this thought to drive me … ‘this is another opportunity to speak God’s word’ so I started speaking ‘No evil shall befall me neither shall any plague (disease) or calamity come near my dwelling’, ‘I live in health and abundance’…..

I got ready and went out for gospel reach out (aka evangelism), At the end of this fulfilling exercise, I couldn’t wait to get home and confirm the red spot was gone so I checked and viola, it was gone and of course every other symptom left with it!

Keep Shining!

So while I was on a trip 2 days ago, I was listening to 'At the mention of your name’ by Jen Johnson and at the same time reading ‘the word’ via my phone. At some point, I fell asleep. When I woke up, I found this verse highlighted and immediately received it as a promise from God for this time. You can too :) 

The Outcome!

So I decided to study (with the help of the Holy Spirit) a few verses in the bible from the book of Job. This was with the aim to understood God’s word within these verses and its relevance to me.

I looked up a few translations and decided to go with the message translation. This was because, the end of Job as recorded in Job 42:10-17 expressed more vividly what was declared and documented in Job 5:20-27.

The Outcome

“In famine, he’ll keep you from starving, in war, from being gutted by the sword – Job’s wealth and influence was far greater than what he had seemingly lost (Job 42:10)

You’ll be protected from vicious gossip and live fearless through any catastrophe. - The blessing of God on his life was so contrary to the previous negative experiences he had and the expectations of men for him, that this blessing of God upon his life became a shield from vicious gossip (Job 42:11)

You’ll shrug off disaster and famine, and stroll fearlessly among wild animals- I mean, that level of wealth and influence as documented in Job 42:10 can only make one calm in a contrary situation: knowing you are covered. (Job 42:12a)

You’ll be on good terms with rocks and mountains; wild animals will become your good friends - As the saying goes, success has many friends. Who wouldn’t want to be friends with Job at this time? (Job 42:10,11)

You’ll know that your place on earth is safe, you’ll look over your goods and find nothing amiss. – The level of wealth (which is beyond money) released unto him didn’t come with loss or sorrow. He experienced peace, safety and expansion (Job 42:12-15)

You’ll see your children grow up, your family lovely and lissome as orchard grass. – God did not only restore him by giving him children but he lived long enough to watch 4 generations of His offspring grow (Job 42:16,17)

You’ll arrive at your grave ripe with many good years, like sheaves of golden grain at harvest. - Job died an old man (140 years) full of days (Job 42:16,17).

 “Yes, this is the way things are—my word of honour! Take it to heart and you won’t go wrong.”- As He said it, so it was. Therefore, as He has said it May it be unto us according to His word, Amen

What’s Been Said

I had a dream

It was an interesting dream with lots of goings-on

But what stood out for me was what I understood to be the truth about this dream, after I woke up

The truth that flooded my mind and that came with such great peace

The truth that has been said! and expressed in 2 chapters of the bible

This truth, as expressed in God’s word

The word that can be trusted because it never fails

The acceptance of this truth ‘that's been said’, allows it to be a reality that stands sure

In acceptance and with thanksgiving, I share……

What's been said!

Those who live in the shelter of the Most High

will find rest in the shadow of the Almighty.

This I declare about the Lord:

He alone is my refuge, my place of safety;

he is my God, and I trust him.

For he will rescue you from every trap

and protect you from deadly disease.

He will cover you with his feathers.

He will shelter you with his wings.

His faithful promises are your armor and protection.

Do not be afraid of the terrors of the night,

nor the arrow that flies in the day.

Do not dread the disease that stalks in darkness,

nor the disaster that strikes at midday.

Though a thousand fall at your side,

though ten thousand are dying around you,

these evils will not touch you.

Just open your eyes,

and see how the wicked are punished.

If you make the Lord your refuge,

if you make the Most High your shelter,

no evil will conquer you;

no plague will come near your home.

 For he will order his angels

to protect you wherever you go.

 They will hold you up with their hands

so you won’t even hurt your foot on a stone.

 You will trample upon lions and cobras;

you will crush fierce lions and serpents under your feet!

 The Lord says, “I will rescue those who love me.

I will protect those who trust in my name.

 When they call on me, I will answer;

I will be with them in trouble.

I will rescue and honor them.

 I will reward them with a long life

and give them my salvation.”

I look up to the mountains—

does my help come from there?

 My help comes from the Lord,

who made heaven and earth!

 He will not let you stumble;

the one who watches over you will not slumber.

 Indeed, he who watches over Israel

never slumbers or sleeps.

 The Lord himself watches over you!

The Lord stands beside you as your protective shade.

 The sun will not harm you by day,

nor the moon at night.

 The Lord keeps you from all harm

and watches over your life.

 The Lord keeps watch over you as you come and go,

both now and forever.

Amen
