The year 2022 is ending and I just want to.....



The year 2022 is ending and I just want to thank God for...

The friends He sent to help me throughout the year. For all the people who cared for me and treated me as their family. For the people whom I called late at night. For the people who never stopped listening to my never-ending problems. For the people who helped me stand up. For the people whom the Lord used to provide for my needs. Thank you. May the Lord bless them all the days of their lives.

The family. He has given me. Although we faced challenges this year. We could have shared joy and tears; I am forever thankful to the Lord for giving me a family like us. There were struggles, but I thank God for getting us through it all. There were unhappy times, but there were also joyful times. I hope and pray that God will continue to strengthen our bond as a family. May we possess the love that God gives all the time.

The pain and hurt. I never really wanted to be hurt and to be in pain, but if that's what it takes for me to achieve my growth, then let His will be done. Thank You for allowing these challenges, Lord. Thank You for getting me through the battles I've fought this year. Thank You that in the times that I could barely walk, You carried me. It's only by Your grace, I am still here. Thank You.

The joy and peace. Although the year has been challenging, I will never forget the joy and peace I received this year. The times when I laughed my heart out. The times when I found myself enjoying the chirps of the bird, the cold-breezed air, and the calming sound of music. The peace and joy my heart experienced in knowing and praising Him. I would never deserve this peace and joy, but I am thankful that God has given me the chance to experience these in my year.

The growth. This year, I've seen myself growing. It was never easy. The Lord has to bend and break me. The Lord has to break me and mold me. The Lord has to uproot and re-plant me. But after all, His grace carried me through. I wanted growth but never the pain. However, one wish were answered with two. It seemed like growth is dependent on pain. Thank God for the rebuke showing that He loves me.

EVERYTHING. I simply want thank God for everything. No explanation needed.

150 Years From Now

  150 years from now, none of us reading this post today will be alive. 70 percent to 100 percent of everything we are fighting over right now will be totally forgotten. Underline the word, TOTALLY. If we go back memory lane to 150 years before us, that will be 1872, none of those that carried the world on their heads then are alive today. Almost all of us reading this will find it difficult to picture anybody's face of that era. Pause for a while and imagine how some of them betrayed their relatives and sold them as slaves for a piece of mirror. Some killed family members just for a piece of land or tubers of yam or cowries or for a pinch of salt. Where is the yam, cowries, mirror, or salt that they were using to brag? It may sound funny to us now, but that is how silly we humans are sometimes, especially when it comes to power or trying to be relevant. I remember those days in my secondary school, how some people fought and did so many unimaginable things just to have their names...

He came to set the captives free!

  Excerpt from: He Came to Set the Captives Free Author: Rebecca Brown, M.D.     Elaine became one of the top witches in the U.S. and almost killed Dr. Brown before turning her life over to Jesus Christ. This is a shocking exposé of satan's activities in Christian churches and a manual on how to fight back.                 For 17 years Elaine served her master, satan, with total commitment. Then she met Dr. Rebecca Brown, who served her master, Jesus Christ, with equal commitment. Elaine, one of the top witches in the U.S., clashed with Dr. Brown who stood against her alone. In the titanic life and death struggle that followed, Dr. Brown nearly lost her life. Elaine, finding a power and lover greater than anything satan could give her, left satan and totally committed her life to Jesus Christ.     From the first moment she crossed through the doorway into that building, she sense...
