WHEN GOD SEEMS FAR...

"SEEMS" is the right word to use...is God really far...
my Darlene Cece winans said "so far yet so close"

I remember sitting in the hospital ward watching my little one
struggle for dear life and I thought to myself...GOD please help me
how could you let this happen to me.. I have loved you from my youth, served you with all my heart,
I know I am far from perfect but my love for you is undeniable.
How on earth could this be happening.

I hear the doctors talking amongst themselves in hushed tones, I know what the are saying
but my ears are shut...I KNOW THE ALMIGHTY GOD...this is not his will.. she would not die
I try to tell them, I try to convince them but its man's report against God's.
In my darkest hour, even when I couldn't feel him, He was right there, you know how I know because His word says so " I would never leave you or forsake you". I Choose to have faith and not fear, whatever the devil had planned God's promises superseded it.
I was going to stand strong, have faith and not stop believing.. No matter what I saw, felt or heard, God has said it, HE is no liar HE would come through for me.


I Don't know what situation or circumstance or issue makes it "seem" like God is far or has forsaken you.
Deuteronomy 31:6 says it very beautifully in the NIV" Be strong and courageous. Do not be afraid or terrified because of them, for the lord goes with you: he will never leave you nor forsake you"
HE is not a man.. HE never lies...HE is with you dear child of God , Stand strong, don't change your confession, don't stop believing.. YOU WOULD TESTIFY..........I DID.

My Case Is Different...

Shutting my eyes I can vividly remember every time someone has tried to discourage me from launching out or dreaming big based on someone else's experience or failure... sometimes it has been said unconsciously,without even thinking... The moment you mention your intention and desires,there is always someone who is ready with an example of someone else's story... Who says I have to apply 10 times before I get a visa to a foreign country Who says I have to have a god-father before I get that dream job Who says I have to attend 5 interviews and receive 5 rejections before I get the job Who says I have to wait and wait,fall into wrong hands and then learn from my mistakes before I eventually  find my prince charming.. Who says I have to have connections to get ahead in life... My case is different... I am not a statistic...my case is different The fact that it happened to 4 or 6 people you know doesn't mean it would happen to me my c...

I AM NOT DEAD YET

I am not much of the gardening type as much as I love flowers and pot plants, It takes quite a bit of an effort for me to give the flowers and pot plants in my front yard the attention they deserve... but I must admit they add such beauty and charm to my front yard. lately I have just been too pre-occupied with all that has been happening in my life and around me to even notice that I have plants to feed and nurture.. 2 weeks ago I noticed that they had all withered and the leaves were dry,brittle and falling,especially with the summer.. I sighed in regret..if only I wasn't too consumed with myself maybe my lovely front yard would have been preserved. I gave up,maybe it was too late to salvage the situation. I might just try I said to myself and see what difference it makes.. I set out a couple of days ago to water the plants...I had just a small bowl of water.. and as I went back inside to get more water..I got distracted and never got round to fully watering the...

THANKSGIVING..

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...
