Christmas vs Xmas

The inscription I wrote on the Christmas fruit cake I made for my sister in law yesterday was Merry X-Mas. After I had piped on it, I realized that I ought to have written Christmas because, come on, there is no Christmas  without Christ. However, due to limited space on the cake and the need to make the fonts equal I decided to use xmas. I seriously contemplated removing it and writing Christmas after I was done, but that would have made the cake rough, so I just left it. Thank God for His grace because the great accuser of the brethren, the devil, started manipulating my mind  afterwards and giving me guilt trips ,for writing Xmas; as though I had denied Christ .I quickly rebuked him and moved on.

20 Important Godly confessions to declare daily

Hi there,you can  read  the first part of daily confessions in this post. How to talk like God

1.       No weapon forged against me will prevail, and i will refute every tongue that accuses me. This is the heritage of the servants of the LORD, and this is their vindication from me," declares the LORD. Isaiah 54:17

2.       I am the righteousness of God in Christ Jesus. 2 Corinthians 5:21

3.       I can do all things through Christ who strengthens me. Philippians 4:13

How to talk like God

God is so good and has great plans for each and every one of us (Jeremiah 29:11).Some of these plans are not manifested physically because we have not learnt to unlock them from the supernatural realm to the physical with the words of our mouth. Proverbs 18:21 tell us that death and life are in the power of the tongue, and they who indulge in it shall eat its fruit. Our words have supernatural power .Proverbs 13:2 says, from the fruit of their lips, people enjoy good things.

Live Ready

Life is a dress rehearsal. It is practice for the real life ahead of us… eternity.   Ecclesiastes 3:11 says, God has set eternity in the hearts of men. This means that every human being has an innate divinely placed knowledge that there is more to life that what is attainable. You are but a mist that appears for a little while and then vanishes (James 4:14), hence there is more to this existence.

Are we living with a view of eternity?

Prayers for my husband on his birthday.

It is my husband's birthday today. Yaaay!

He is one amazing person and I am blessed to be his wife. I love his joie de vivre,his analytical mind,his friendly personality. He is just awesome and am grateful to God to be able to spend the rest of my life with him

Too shy to pray in public?

Have you ever being asked to pray out loud in a gathering of family, friends or both and you suddenly don’t know what exactly to pray for, or how to coin the words together?  Or you wonder why you were picked and not someone else. Then, out of nervousness, you say a simple prayer, which may not seem good enough to the hearers, evidenced by the disappointed looks.

                           

                                                     

Well, this was me on Monday evening. Hehehe.

Doing Life with God....Intimacy with God

I love Joyce Meyer. Though I am of the Roman Catholic faith, I enjoy her teachings. She has been instrumental to my desire for intimacy with God. I have her app on my phone and  often listen to her sermons, read her daily devotionals and articles. It was she who came up with the phrase, ’doing life with God’.

The lover of my Soul

I was doing a little ‘spring cleaning’ the other day when I came across one of my oldest diaries, dated as far back as 2006/2007. It was so interesting reading through my thoughts about the way I saw the world then. The realization that I have indeed come a long way made me grateful to God. One thing that struck me though, is my evergreen passion for God. I will be sharing some of my old diary entries from time to time.

I wrote this one on the 12th of September 2007, at 11.30 am, while nursing a heart break.☺☺ I remember I was at home on vacation, after one of our semester exams. I was in 200 level.

Guest Feature-Its only a matter of time!

Happy September Blog visitors.

Today we have a guest feature.

Her name is Brenda,a friend of a friend,who became a dear friend to me too😊😊😊😊😊😊😊.

She put this up on her instagram @alobee and it came alive to me,thought to share, as it may be a word in due season for someone out there too.

The Lord who protects.

The day before yesterday, I boarded a taxi at the taxi park near my work place. It was about 7.50pm.
The driver said ‘one-chance’, meaning, just one more passenger to fill up the taxi. I was glad, knowing I won’t have to wait for the cab to fill up and I would get home sooner. As soon as the vehicle started moving, the guy beside me started exclaiming that some hoodlums had taken/stolen his bag which contained his money and phone. 

Does God permit some bad things?

I recently had a 2 day long theological debate with one of my many dear friends who resides in the UK. We often chat via blackberry messenger. The subject matter was whether God permits certain trials and difficult situations in the life of a Christian, or whether all trials are orchestrated independently by the devil, without God’s permission.

This is going to be a long but very interesting read, so brace up.

The Waiting Game.

So I went for the oral interview of my dream job about six weeks ago. I did a post about it here.

I can say the interview went reasonably well. I was able to accurately answer the questions I was asked. In my department, out of 36 candidates that took the written exam, about 19 were invited for the oral interview and rumour has it only 2 will be selected eventually. We were told after the interview that we would hear from them in two weeks. It is 6 weeks post interview and no news yet.

Worried? Contemplate God's Faithfulness.

The beginning of anxiety is the end of faith, and the beginning of faith is the end of anxiety.

George Mueller

Have you ever found yourself in such a great mess that you wonder just how you would be free? You get so worried and anxious; losing sleep and appetite, wondering where and how a solution would manifest. Or maybe things are not working out the way you hoped and life seems to be playing a fast one on you.

Great Song Alert.

Hey everyone.Long time,no post. My apologies.I seemed to have had several episodes of being lost and found in God.Some days,i would feel very close to God,and some days the devil would whisper lies in my ears about God not loving me enough because i didn't spend time with Him (daily devotion) that day. Thank God for the Holy Spirit who reminded me to keep confessing that i am the righteousness of God in Christ Jesus.

How to Have Long Life

How long do you want to live? Most people would say they want to live a long and healthy life,probably till 70 or 80 years old. Experts would say the stuff of long life is eating right,exercising and avoiding stress. True.

But do you want to live a long and happy life? Life spent in happiness is the desire of all.The art of truly and joyfully living,all day everyday, is the aim of most religion.

So how can a Christian enjoy life?

God is so good.

It's 2.20 am.

My heart is filled with Joy so palpable.

God has been good to me.

I just want to scream at the top of my lungs..'God is sooo good'!..but alas!, i can't,because i would wake up the patients on admission.

I am the doctor on call tonight.
