I REMEMBER....

Today I have spent some time remembering...
thinking and reflecting on the goodness of the lord..

I remember when I first got married...the first house we got had a very
tiny single bed, hubby and I were only too glad to leave our shared accommodation so we had
no complaints...,

I remember the times when we were so broke and we couldn't even afford to top up our electricity...

I remember when we searched and searched for even the most menial of jobs and all we got was "sorry your application is unsuccessful"....

I remember when doors of opportunities seemed like they had closed on us and it felt like things were never going to get better..

I remember crying when I first realised I was pregnant....how are we going to afford a baby I kept saying to myself..

The list goes on and on...

whatever was a challenge to us then is a thing of the past now...God provided...from a new car, to a luxury house,to choice jobs,to great doors of opportunities,to food on our table and clothes on our bodies, God has not failed us.

 Remembering is a very powerful tool for victory.It brings you to the place of thanksgiving and it reminds you of how great your God is.  It motivates you to stand and face your mountains...
David in 1 Samuel 17:34 remembered how God delivered him from the lion and the bear...so what was an uncircumcised philistine before him...HIS God was able..

Dear child of God,Take some time and remember where God has brought you from and all that he has done, make your boast in the lord let the humble hear and be glad,
.
If he saw you through those challenges, He is still able...He would deliver you from every giant you are facing today...

C'MON JOIN ME......" REMEMBER",

WHAT ARE YOU AFRAID OF?

Before the novelty of the new year wears off Let me take time to welcome you to 2015 and wish you a great year.. I so love a new year,it is a constant reminder of the Kind of God we serve.. who gives us another opportunity To start again,dream again,run again..regardless of what May or may not have happened in the past year.. Permit me to take a slow ride down memory lane as I look back at the highlight of my year 2014... I must look back so that I can appreciate  from whence God has brought me and where he is taking me to. I must look back lest I take for granted all he has done for me. I must look back so when the enemy comes to lie to me that God hasn't been good I can count my blessings and make My boast in the Lord. 2years ago after the loss of my daughter I found out that there was a 50/50 chance that the next child I conceived  was also going to die. I remember the consultant looking at I and my husband with a very sad face as he told ...

I have never had to struggle for want of what to write but I have literally spent the past minutes just staring at my screen.... where do I start from is the issue at hand How do I compress the faithfulness of GOD to me in just a post...hmmmm.. I turn 28 today..yet it seems I have been here longer.. I marvel at the quality and the richness of my life.. The wealth of experience and all that God has invested in me... For all his many blessings,For his favour and his Presence  Lord for all these and more..I say thank you I woke up today with gratitude,with a heart full of praise...God has been Good to me.. I take a walk down memory lane and I go back 15 years  to a time when I first accepted Jesus. What I am most grateful for is this decision I made to follow hard after JESUS A lot of times I failed Him,strayed away,messed up,blew my chances But His mercy never ceased and  I kept seeking and running after him.. I have come a long way 15 years later,I still l...

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...
