I HAVE NEWS FOR YOU

News.....

What comes to mind any time someone says I have news for you?
News...hmmmm
I remember a few months ago I was told the outcome of my daughter's test results
and the doctor said..I am afraid it is not great news..

Two things come to mind every time you are told you have news
Two things...FEAR or FAITH...
Fear of the known or Unknown or Faith in the one who Knows it all.

Last week...the same words I heard months ago
were repeated again..
Stella am so sorry but it is not great news..
It took a while for the enormity of the news to sink in.
But as it sunk,I was overcome with emotion
I struggled to hold back tears..not again Lord..
I looked at the report before me
and I could sense fear rising..

What was I going to do..
who was I going to believe
I could hear the holyspirit reminding me of God's promises
That affliction would not arise a second time..
I could hear the enemy saying..but you trusted and had faith but where is the result of your faith...
you prayed,you fasted,you sowed..but where is your harvest.
Ah...as I shut my ears to the lies of the enemy,
I made a decision to judge God Faithful inspite of all..
Yes we prayed,fasted,trusted and Our precious child still died
But that doesn't make God any less than he is..He is a Good and Faithful God
I made a decision not to allow my experiences define my God.
I handed my Fears over and received faith for the road ahead..

What news have you received Beloved..
It doesn't matter how negative or impossible it is...
Whose Report would you believe...
Lets walk this faith walk together...What ever report is challenging God's authority
let us lay it at his feet and exchange our fear for faith
and confess God's report concerning that situation.

Your past experiences,Hurts or disappointments do not in
any way define how big or great Our God is..
It doesn't matter how grave the news is.
He is Still God,Still Strong,Still working miracles for his own.
I shall Testify..and so would you..
Stay Strong...
Those who trust in the LORD are as secure as Mount Zion; they will not be defeated but will endure forever.PS 25:3NLT

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 case is

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 love the lord r

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
