He is ABLE...



As I sat listening to the words
of the song by Deitrick Haddon ;He is Able.
It hit me...did I really believe that he was able
could he really do what he said he could and
even if he could, would He?

By the time the song reached the" don't give up
on God" part I was already in tears.

You know how you have prayed and fasted
believed and confessed and praised in thanskgiving
yet it begins to seem as if God hasn't heard.
You have hoped and trusted but the change still feels a far off,
You have anticipated and expected but yet no sign of manifestation. .

Ah giving up on God can be very subtle O
that unspoken or unexpressed doubt
that little hesitation,
the sigh, that is seen in our expression
The gradual acceptance that oh maybe this is not going to work
maybe it is or is not God's will
yeah..the Maybe's

As I poured out my heart the holy spirit resounded  this to me
Don't give up on God..He is not A man that he should lie
He is Able to do more than you can ask..you are so close to your
miracle don't give up..don't stop hoping...
There is purpose in your pain..
The harder the situation the easier it is for God to step in...

As I let the spirit in..As I allowed his words to soak my heart and mind..
I began to see..
I began to see the Awesomeness of my God..
I was going to continue to hope even against all hope
I  would continue to believe and rejoice.
Like Abraham,I am going to judge God faithful. ..
I am not going to consider the odds that are against me..
I would stay persuaded that what He has promised
He is able to perform...Rom4:18-21.

Thank you holy spirit..need to get some tissue.lol.xxx

It's amazing how God speaks the same word to so many people @ the same time! this is like my 4th confirmation this week...you've just got to believe that He is ABLE cos He really is! we live in times where people are afraid to believe becos there is this myth that the opposite of what you say is what happens. but i choose to believe that God is Able and that He is a rewarder of them that diligently seek Him....thumbs up Sis! luv ya much

Who is your father?

Who is your father? I remember the first time I travelled to my village without my parents I must have been in primary school and my dearest grandmother of blessed memory insisted my parents brought me over for the weekend. Village life really and truly intrigued me, I loved the simplicity of communal living and how content everyone seemed, food was eaten fresh from the farms, with the large itigidi river providing fresh fish and water, and in the evenings, a dozen children would gather in my granny’s living room to watch a DVD, what was there not to like, for a child living in the city and raised overseas, village life was exciting, refreshing and alluring. That was the first of many visits, the older i got,  my grandmother became the most influential woman in my life, especially as I had lost my mother at age 14. She was wise, inspiring and I picked up my literary prowess from her as she and my mum piqued my interest in books. She would make me write letters to her and...

Are you taking notes?

  Are you taking notes? I am so excited, something is brewing…but I cannot aptly describe it; I know without a shadow of a doubt that something is about to happen. I am so pumped about my future and what God is doing and as I look ahead, I cannot help but reminisce for we cannot truly appreciate how far we have come until we look back. Today I had a flashback to a season of my life where I was overlooked, underrated, and written off. I was that girl with nothing going on for her, I could walk into a room and not be noticed, not because I wasn’t beautiful, attractive or good looking but because when people looked at me in that season, all they could see was what had happened to me. What had happened to me? I had failed and repeated a year in university, I was the assistant class rep that year and I had to be replaced. Oh!  the disgrace and shame I felt, every bit of confidence I had in myself was knocked down. I still remember the silence and hushed tones when s...

THIS TOO SHALL PASS

Oh no, it was actually real, the scene that had just flashed before me wasn't from the contagion movie. It was actually real. Somebody pinch me! News , mayhem, panic buying, fear mongering, social distancing,self-isolation unimaginable loss of lives, truncation of businesses, and untold hardship for many. I caught myself as a wave of fear washed over me, what is the meaning of all of this, what must I do, what is God saying? As I pondered, I could hear very clearly in my spirit these words: "This too shall pass "and almost immediately an unexplainable peace and confidence in a God who is bigger than my fears and still In control settled me. How are you doing child of God? Are you troubled, worried, tired,afraid or overwhelmed? Rest in the assurance of God's word and His love. Amidst all the fear and uncertainty be reminded that God is sovereign.  Amidst all the pain and the loss be assured that God is present, to comfort and to restore. ...
