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 I Choose to have faith and not fear, whatever the devil had planned God's promises superseded it.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.

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 ...

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...

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...
