..........So a few Saturdays back, i was driving and a friends' call came in. I looked at my phone and when i saw the name of the person i was like "I'm not picking , 'cos when i called you, you didn't pick up either". As i drove over a bump, i heard the special still voice "Vengeance is mine, remember?" I remember replying Him, saying "But I'm not revenging, this is no serious issue, so why would i revenge? I'm just trying to make a point here". His response was, "When you retaliate, it is called vengeance". So what if i was sleeping or just sitting down, and someone calls me, and i don't feel like talking and i don't pick up the call?. His response: There's always a reason behind your acts, that is not vengeance, you don't feel too good to speak, right?
I remember smiling, and saying, God please, this is just everyday living with my friends, this isn't that serious. You know I will hold you accountable to all these serious and unserious things, right?. I've always known i was dealing with a conscious God, but that day and ever since that day, that incident has been like a written scar in my thoughts. I will give account for every millisecond of my existence, conscious or unconscious , so get it right and clear " You are dealing with the CONSCIOUS, NOTHING EVER OCCURS, WITHOUT KNOWING GOD" (Hebrews 4 vs 13: And there is no creature hidden from His sight, but ALL things are naked and open to the eyes of Him to whom WE MUST GIVE ACCOUNT).
I was reminded AGAIN, that "He's ever present, and He's really concerned and involved in my life and EVERYTHING that has to do with me, big deal or no big deal, serious or unserious". He whispered and said " Believe again, that I AM INDEED YOUR conscious FATHER".
As you start this month, be reminded again, that you have a CONSCIOUS, NOTHING EVER PASSES BY HIS SIDE WITHOUT KNOWING GOD. Be conscious and thankful that He is INDEED involved in your everyday life. Happy new month everyone, and i pray this month would be better and greater than months passed. Much love

.................My feelings
Have you ever tried to praise or thank God and suddenly you feel this rush of tears and immediately you become so weak?
-At that moment all hope is lost
-At that moment you cease to believe
-At that moment all you know & see is your problem
-At that moment your lips become too heavy to ask
-At that moment your heart bleeds heavily for you
-At that moment you've played the worst scenario possible
-At that moment you feel that is the end
-At that moment you're in your own world and the only inhabitant
-At that moment you wish you never sinned, you wish those mistakes were never made
-At that moment you desire to be someone else better, entirely other than who you're
-At that moment, you begin to ask yourself again, why me? why these situations?
At what moment, do you then wake to the reality of your problems being completely solved?
..I GUESS THE MOMENT GOD STEPS IN

Hold on.....................
I missed you all, i don't think i would be able to catch up on the weeks i missed off blogville. So what have i been up to and what has been up to me? Lemme share some with you all:
* I became an aunt to a new niece
* I cut my hair, not too short though, (now i have braids on)
* God has been more than good to me, irrespective of my faults. (Duh, like God hasn't been so good to every other person).
So my friend decided to call me and ask if i wanted to go to Church, 'cos i haven't been to Church in like a month. She said she was motivated to go, since her muslim friend woke her up and reminded her about Church. She picked me up and we left for Church, but we missed our way there (that was our first time attending the Church). I asked her if she had the directions mapped out, and she said she did but she forgot it at home. Since we couldn't find the Church, we turned around and decided we would go into the first Church we see. There was this beautiful Church we saw just when we turned around, but no one said a word and few minutes later, we saw another Church and we drove into the lot and we got there just as the worship session was coming to an end.
The service started with the pastor introducing the minister of the day, who came along with his wife. They shared a short story about thier vision and their upcoming missionary trip to Indonesia. The pastor shared the story about a dream he had when he was in his early teens, and how much he'd been looking forward to the dream been fulfilled. He shared that along the line, he would sit and ask himself if he actually had the dream, or if it was just fantasy or wishful thinking.
Years passed by and nothing happened till this year when God placed it in his heart and that of his wife to go to Indonesia to share Christ with them. He then asked God why it took long before the dream materialized, and he said the response was "All while long, God was preparing him for the mission to Indonesia", all he ever went through during those years now seemed justified to him. He also reminded us about the story of Joseph and how long it took for Josephs' dream to be fulfilled, the events that transpired before the fulfillment of the dream, and most importantly the reasons why the events had to occur. If he hadn't been sold, he wouldn't be in Egypt, if he hadn't been in Egypt, he wouldn't have ended up been in potiphar's house, if Potiphar's wife had not accused him, he wouldn't be sent to jail, and if he hadn't gone to jail, he wouldn't have met the butler, and if he hadn't interpreted dreams, he wouldn't have become the #2 in Egypt, and if not for him (Joseph), his family would have died of hunger (Which i saw as the Ultimate).
He ended the message by sharing one of my favourite verses of the Bible Habakkuk 2 vs 2-3 "Then the LORD answered me and said, "Record the vision And inscribe it on tablets, That the one who reads it may run. 2. For the vision is yet for the appointed time; It hastens toward the goal and it will not fail. Though it tarries, wait for it; For it will certainly come, it will not delay".
I had to re-read this verse again, and i got a message from the words highlighted.
1. Record the vision and Inscribe it on tablets: Whatever God has shown you should be written down (am i thinking for record purposes?) and as we well know, inscriptions are hardly wiped off. It would remind you of His spoken words/promises, when you begin to forget or loose hope.
2. Appointed time: Timing is crucial with God
3. Goal: He has a UNIQUE purpose for every of His words to us.
4. It will not fail: No word that He speaks shall return to Him void. Isaiah 55 vs 11 "So shall my word be that goeth forth out of my mouth: it shall not return unto me void, but it shall accomplish that which I please, and it shall prosper in the thing whereto I sent it."
5. Though it tarries: IT WILL take a while for His words to be fulfilled, because of the compulsory challenges we have to face along the line to prepare us for the task ahead.
6. Wait for it: it's a command, persevere, endure. When you are falling or you fall, ask for His grace, pick yourself up and keep waiting.
7. It will certainly come: Again, His words shall not return to Him void, He's assuring us AGAIN. Ezekiel 12 vs 25a "For I the LORD will speak, and whatever word I speak will be performed."
8. It will not delay: Remember He's all about the timing. He will never be a second late, at the right time and at the right place.
I don't know what you may be going through or what you've gone through, but if you're like me who feels hopeless at times, or who feels like all those dreams seem to be a lie 'cos they haven't been fulfilled, I hope these passages would encourage you to believe that He's working behind the scenes of your life, and very soon without delay He would bring those dreams to reality. Never forget that "we know that God causes ALL things to work together for good to those who love God, to those who are called according to His purpose." Romans 8 vs 28.
Hold on to His words, endure even in His grace and have a great week ahead. Much love!

Great is thy faithfulness............
So on Saturday, I was thinking all about me, when one of my folks decided it was the best time for her to say silly things she wasn't meant to say. Nywayz, after waiting to be insulted and all, i had to take a drive down the street. I had barely gone on a 10 minutes drive when this song came to mind "Great is thy faithfulness" and ever since, I've had this song on my lips.
Immediately after i sang it once, I heard a word say "ALL you've ever NEEDED, His hands have provided". I remember repeating those words over and over again, and finally saying "Lord, I'm sorry for all my complaints through your faithfulness, and thank You for Your provision when i was in NEED'.
But a couple of hours ago, i started singing the song again and i heard another word "Morning by Morning, NEW MERCIES you see". I felt this guilt within me and i had to say again, "I'm sorry for being a nag, and I'm thankful for Your mercies in my life".
Truth is, I've messed up more than i can ever remember the counts, but through it ALL, God has been more than faithful than the word itself. He has indeed been a provider for my needs, i may not have all my wants now, but i have ALL that i need and that is HOPE (Him).
Try singing or reading this song sincerely, think back to times when you were in need or want, and ask yourself if He ever provided for your needs and what He did about your wants.
Great is Thy faithfulness, O God my Father;
There is no shadow of turning with Thee; Thou changest not, Thy compassions, they fail not;
As Thou hast been, Thou forever will be.
Chorus:
Great is Thy faithfulness! Great is Thy faithfulness!
Morning by morning new mercies I see.
All I have needed Thy hand hath provided;
Great is Thy faithfulness, Lord, unto me!
If you can read Ephesians Chapter 3, please do and if not, i hope verse 20 would encourage you.
"Now unto him that is able to do exceeding abundantly above all that we ask or think, according to the power that worketh in us,"
Not being too spiritual, but God is INDEED FAITHFUL! Be encouraged, and have a funfilled and fulfilled week ahead.
