Today, I scratched my hand while cleaning chicken. It was a tiny weenie scratch, but, It hurt, so I decided to wait till later to cook the chicken, besides, I was being lazy too. :-). But, I realise, that, even if I hadn't been lazy, I would not have achieved the task of cooking comfortably, simply because of the tiny scratch !. You need your hands to be able to achieve most of your day to day activities. Your hands contain the richest source of tactile feedback in your body, and have the greatest positioning capability of the body, and which is why the sense of touch is associated with the hands. Apart from that, your hands signify your labour. You can also use your hands to communicate with people, so for instance, you can wave someone down with your hands. You can also use your hands to gesticulate or prove a point. Some people cannot talk without using their hands! I can go on and on about the use of your hands, but, that's not where we are going today!

I want to talk briefly about the Hand of God. In my little knowledge of the Bible, I have discovered that each time I read a verse about the arm of God, I become comforted, and at ease. God's Hands are very important to Him too. Let me tell you seven things about my darling Father's hands, which NO OTHER Hand can do in our lives:

The Hand of God is mighty and powerful: God's hand is not an ordinary hand. He has the whole world in his hands!, so imagine how big those hands are. The bible says in 2 Chronicles 20:6: And said, O LORD God of our fathers, art not thou God in heaven? and rulest not thou over all the kingdoms of the heathen? and in thine hand is there not power and might, so that none is able to withstand thee?

The Hand of God is a hand of strength: When you are weak, and too tired to go on, rely in God's hands, he will give you the exact amount of strength you need: Ezra 7-8:And I was strengthened as the hand of the LORD my God was upon me, and I gathered together out of Israel chief men to go up with me.
It is from God's hands, that you get prosperous: We have no other sure means of getting prosperity. I can assure you that if your prosperity comes from another source, you cannot enjoy it. Ecclesiastes 2:24 says: There is nothing better for a man, than that he should eat and drink, and that he should make his soul enjoy good in his labour. This also I saw, that it was from the hand of God.

The Hand of God is a hand of destruction: Woe betide any enemy that seeks to destroy a child of God, who is abiding in His hands. In fact, this one is so sure that God declares in Deuteronomy 33 v39, ( hey! confess this Word with me): See now that I, even I am he, and there is no god with me: I kill and I make alive; I wound and I heal: neither is there any that can deliver out of mine hand. I can imagine God saying this particular Word. He repeats the "I even I" for a reason. Its for us to know that He is talking about HIMSELF, AND NO OTHER!.. Is any situation troubling you? Why don't cast it into God's hands today and see if that thing can continue to harrass you!
In God's Hands, you are protected. He has engraved you in his palms ( hands), and far from the oppressor.

God's hands are always outstretched to the sinner: When you sin, and repent, he opens his arms, widely to receive you. From afar, he runs towards you to grab you in a lovingly tight embrace. Psalm 136 v 12 says that God's mercy endures forever with 'His outstretched and strong arms'! What great comfort we have knowing that we will not be condemned for our sins

God's HAND is JESUS: Yep! It is! God sent his son, Jesus to die for us. Jesus' death is God's hand of salvation, love, mercy and deliverance for us. It is the most potent example of the Love of a God who doesn't want his children to perish.
What great words! I mean I could go on and on about God's hands, I just wanted to outline a few facts about the Hand of God, and I pray that as you go about in your daily life, the Hand of the Almighty will encompass, favour and uphold you!.

God bless,
Bimbylads

Just Seventeen

Abigail blinked slowly, as the tears slid down her smooth face, like a silent stream on a newly tarred road. Her fingers trembled slightly as she read the words out aloud, partly because she needed to hear it to believe it, and partly because it felt like she was in a trance.
“There are options….” the man sitting directly in front of her was saying, but she wasn’t listening. The paper in her hand fluttered to the floor, but she did not notice. The large spacious room suddenly felt like a tiny carton, closing in and choking her. Her heart began to beat wildly as the vision in front of her blurred.
Suddenly, she was in church, singing. Thousands of people were being touched by her melodious voice; some fell unto the floor, while others simply wept.
Then, the testimonies began to flow. “I was healed by that song, Abigail” said the woman who always wore a red hat. “For a seventeen year old, you sing like an angel” said Kofi, the teacher. “I was depressed, until I heard you sing” said another. “You are destined for greatness” said the Pastor’s wife. Abigail was used to the compliments, for they came steadily. It was obvious, her voice was powerful, and it carried a certain anointing. She was already great at just seventeen... The man coughed suddenly, dragging her back to reality.
“Y-yes?” she managed to look at his face. His gaze was sympathetic, pitiful almost.
“Would you like a moment alone?” he asked, speaking slowly and carefully. He slid a box of tissues across the table. “I will be outside, if you need me” he added, patting her softly on her back.
She watched him leave the room, and almost laughed. Had he said there were options? What options?
Once again, the horrible feeling swept over her, first panic, then intense fear, followed by a sense of dread. She cast her mind back to the day she met him, and almost cursed. Pastor Josh was his name. He was a visiting pastor from the neighbouring town, and come to preach to the youth of their church. When he spoke, his baritone voice reverberated; travelling across the whole auditorium and captivating his audience. He stood tall, a magnificent six feet and four inches. His dark good looks were further accentuated by his bright smile. He was indeed a stunning man. And when, after he’d delivered his message, asked for her, she’d felt faint.
“I heard you sing- like an angel” his gaze tore through her soul as he spoke, and she was elated. He dropped his voice to a whisper “I come often to this area, and I would like your number”.
Don’t give out your number, something in her screamed, but she pushed the words back, far back.
A few days later he called. He liked her, wanted to see her.
‘But you are much older than I am- I am just seventeen” she said, holding her breath in case he decided not to come.
“Wasn’t Abraham much older than Sarah?” he teased, and her heart melted.
He came once, then twice, then weekly. “Flee fornication”, warned the voice. Again, she countered it. I can think of that afterwards.
Her concerned mother observed the change in her, “You don’t attend choir practice anymore, Abigail”. “Where do you sneak off to?” quizzed Dad. She lied once, then twice, and soon, the lies became endless. Mum stopped asking, and Dad pretended not to notice. But their eyes said it all- disappointment and sorrow.
Then one day, she fell pregnant. She ran to him, hysterical. “It’s easy”, he said smoothly. “Get rid of it”. She felt like she’d been slapped. “b-but you are a pastor, a youth pastor”, she spluttered, shocked. “For all have sinned...” he replied, “get rid of it and then, we will get married”
“Thou shall not kill”... There it was again, the alarm.
She tried to reach him several times, to tell him that she had done it.
She left numerous messages, but he never called her back. Until one day, she heard that he had died.
That was why he never called her back.
And now, her test results were out.
“The wages of sin is death” said the voice, only this time; it was a still, small voice.
She forced herself out of the doctor’s office, without a backward glance at the paper she’d left on the floor.
Abigail was HIV positive.... at just seventeen............



Flee Fornication: 1 Thessalonians 4:3: For this is the will of God, even your sanctification, that ye should abstain from fornication

Need a friend in Jesus? Not sure of whether you will make heaven? Lost along the way?Why not invite him into your life with these words:
Lord Jesus, I ask that you come into my life and take hold of it. I confess my sins before you and repent of them. Please forgive me of my sins and help me to live above sin. Write my name in the book of life. I enter into your kingdom of life and peace, in Jesus name.

Can't is not a Word.....

In the dictionary of the Almighty, can't is not a word. If anything, the Lord is a skilled and highly experienced God in turning the impossibility into breakthroughs.
Imagine a job offer, asking for over a million years experience for a certain job.... Do you think it will be possible to find an applicant for that job? That's a tiny fraction as to how wonderfully powerful the Lord is. He is the only one that can make that thing, which the world says you CANT do, to be the exact opposite.

A testimony about myself, which I'd like to share with you; a few years ago, I was studying for my Masters degree. Towards the end of the Masters degree, the Lord blessed me with a very good job that I could not resist. However,, the job was based, many miles away from my university, which meant, that I had to relocate. This in itself posed a big problem. I was in the middle of writing my dissertation. My supervisor expected that I visit him, at least one a week to go over my dissertation, and by being away from the vicinity of the university, this would have been impossible. Reluctantly, I decided to take a huge risk and go for the job opportunity. My plan was that, one way or the other, I'd find time to travel down to get my dissertation checked by my supervisor.

As time flew by and the demands of the job increased, I realised that I was unable to even look at the dissertation, let alone visit my university. In fact, by the time I contacted my supervisor, two weeks to submission date, he had left the country on vacation!
I was faced with two options: settle for a post graduate diploma, or forget about the course and the thousands of pounds my mother had paid. The word : CANT reared its ugly head! I just couldn't write a dissertation in two weeks! So, I did what I could do best, I prayed. And as I did, I got encouraged, and began to write my dissertation myself. Night and day, I wrote as the Holy Spirit led. I had asked the Holy spirit to be my supervisor, and that's exactly what he did. To cut a long story short, I not only passed my dissertation, I was also given an award for the best performing student of that year. Here is someone who at two weeks before submission date, was considering giving up...Certainly not my doing, but God's awesome power. He alone makes the impossible, possible. In the bible, which is the greatest authority we have in Christ Jesus, the book of Luke 1 v 37 tells us that. With God, all things are possible.

Note the word ALL. There is nothing hard for Him. He created the Heavens and the earth.
Do you know that, there is no situation that Jesus cannot address? Do you know that there is Nothing facing you now that the Lord has not dealt with in the past? You just need to key into that awesomeness. The Lord can heal any kind of disease. He is the manufacturer and as such, would have the spare parts needed! He created the whole universe and can give you untold riches in His glory.
You just have to:
-Meditate on God's word daily : This book of the law shall not depart out of thy mouth; but thou shalt meditate therein day and night, that thou mayest observe to do according to all that is written therein: for then thou shalt make thy way prosperous, and then thou shalt have good success.(Joshua 1:5-9).

-0Be strong and unshaken- Do not let fear overcome you. In fact, God hates fear because it drives away faith. It is the exact opposite of faith. Do you know that fear means: False Evidence Appearing Real?. When you want to fear, channel that energy into the word of God. Believe He can! And encourage yourself: Have not I commanded thee? Be strong and of a good courage; be not afraid, neither be thou dismayed: for the Lord thy God is with thee whithersoever thou goest (Joshua 1:5-9).

-Pray aggressively : the greatest weapon of a believer is prayer. Pray until something happens
Finally, don't give up. The Lord will never come late. He will never fail or disappoint, just keep pressing.

However, for the above steps to work for you, you have to have a relationship with Jesus. You have to believe in your heart that he is. Jesus offers for you and me, a chance to have a wonderful relationship with God, and for eternal life. Why don't you say this prayers, if you want to have that wonderful opportunity to be able to tap into God's awesomeness and greatness?:
Lord Jesus, I ask that you come into my life and take hold of it. I confess my sins before you and repent of them. Please forgive me of my sins and help me to live above sin. Write my name in the book of life. I enter into your kingdom of life and peace, in Jesus name.

If you said the above prayer, congratulations, you have made the single most important decision in your life. Why don't you look for a bible believing church to worship and grow in your faith. The Lord will surely take you by the hand and lead you through.....

Have a blessed week,

Reaching out....Again

When times feel like they are at a standstill, when seasons feel like they have been frozen, when the day seems to go on forever, then you know that you need to slow down, retrace your steps and rededicate your self to the Most High.
In the most difficult times in your life, God is at his best. When you are at your wits end, God is just at the very beginning, working tirelessly to grant you your heats desire. He never fails. I went through a time of my life that I needed to drop everything and focus on God. So, I took some time out...But, I am back, to the Glory of God to share with you this gift of writing which He has bestowed on me.
I hope the Lord will use me as a vessel to reach out to those who need it the most, especially in these times of economic trials and climatic madness. So hop unto this word wagon, fasten your seat belts, and let the ride begin!!

Bimbylads,

Forgiving to Forget

Me? Forgive her? Of course I forgive her! I just can never forget! Is that you? How familiar does that sound? Don’t we all do it? We say we forgive someone, but, we can never forget what they did to us that hurt us so much. Or is this you: I never get angry o, but once you offend me, that is it. I CUT you off! Or, are you: I forgive, and I forget, but I just won’t speak to you again in my life, for peace sake.....

If you are one of the above, take a seat, grab a coffee ( milk, two sugars:-)) and let’s roll.






The issue of forgiveness is one that will always baffle me. I find it hard to comprehend why God asked us to forgive so as to seek his forgiveness as the Bible tells us. let me share a story with you:

A woman lost her only son and husband in one day. Before her very eyes, a rebel invaded her home, and burnt her husband and only child alive. As her family shrivelled into charcoal in her presence, she pleaded with the man for mercy; but the rebel ignored her as he cruelly destoyed her family. About 10 years after the horrible crime, the rebel was finally caught.

The woman, now old and grey from suffering the terrible loss, was invited to the court to witness the trail. As the trial judge condemned the criminal for his despicable and cold hearted killing of a woman's only child and husband, the woman looked on, frail and tired.
The judge, before deciding whether to deliver a death sentence, asked the woman to make a statement to the convicted killer, knowing that the woman's statement would further fuel the death sentence ruling he was about to deliver. So she did. As she struggled to her feet with tears flowing down her old, wrinkled face, she walked slowly towards the man with out stretched arms, while singing the song..' amazing grace.. how sweet the sound..'.
The rebel wept. He had expected the woman to curse him to death, but instead, she wept with love, and embraced him, saying the words, ' With my heart, I forgive you, just as Jesus forgave me for my sins'.....

Can you be like this woman? She surely had every right to demand for the death penalty. Imagine the pain she must have lived through each day, remembering the gruesome murders of her husband and child, yet, she forgave.

Sometimes, someone does something to you that hurts so bad, you genuinely cannot forgive the person. You want to, but you just cant. I am talking of a situation where someone close to you, someone you trusted, literally trashed the trust and spat on it. How do you begin to even think about forgiving the person? Yet, God says forgive. If you forgive those who sin against you, your heavenly Father will forgive you. God would never have asked you to forgive, if he didn't think you could. YOU CAN!!

Matthew 18:15-17, "Moreover if thy brother shall trespass against thee, go and tell him his fault between thee and him alone: if he shall hear thee, thou hast gained thy brother. But if he will not hear thee, then take with thee one or two more, that in the mouth of two or three witnesses every word may be established.

Ihad always thought I had a forgiving heart. Until someone hurt me for real. Then I began to understand why the Bible hammered on the issue of forgiveness. Because it is not an easy task!.
In fact, many times, you believe you have forgiven someone. Until you try and relay the story to someone else.... do you notice how your heart still races, and your emotions run wild? When I was hurt, I went to God in prayer and confessed my sin, and told God that I had forgiven the person. A few months later, someone asked me about that person, I, genuinely believing that I had forgiven and forgotten, I began to tell my story. To my shock and horror, as the story tumbled out of my mouth, my rage could not be hidden. I was still upset! I hadn't truly forgiven as God instructed. I hadn't forgotten either. If you truly forgive from the bottom of your heart, you forget. Just like God does. God says he will not remember your past sins, once you confess and forsake them.

When you forgive others, you feel like a burden is lifted off your shoulder. You gain a certain confidence before God. You can go to him, knowing that your heart is not bearing the burden of some one's offence.

When you say you have forgiven someone, you must try to forget what they did to you. If you hold on to the bad memories of the hurt, it is likely that you begin to stir up feelings of anger and hurt, and thus, erasing the desire to truly let go. But, if you think you cant, take a moment and think about Jesus. He is a classic example of whom to follow, in trying to learn to truly forgive.

Jesus was spat on, insulted, mocked, beaten; because of you and I. He was crucified. Nails driven into his hands and feet. He was in so much pain that he sweat blood. And even in pain and humiliation, Jesus, remembered to asked God to forgive those who were flogging and mocking him.
How much more you and I? what did that person do to you that is new? It certainly isn't as bad as the sins that we have committed in the past. Even if it is, the Lord asks us to forgive. Always.


So important is the issue of forgiveness, that God gave no limit to how many times you ought to forgive:

Matthew 18:21-22, "Then came Peter to him, and said, Lord, how oft shall my brother sin against me, and I forgive him? till seven times? Jesus saith unto him, I say not unto thee, Until seven times: but, Until seventy times seven."


Seventy Times Seven?? HOW?? lol.. It just goes to show how important it is to God that you forgive others. God doesn't expect you to count the amount of times you have forgiven someone, he wants it to come Naturally to you, just as it is to HIM.
Beloved, lets try and forgive. Lets think about Jesus instead and let that person go in our hearts. FORGET IT. Even if they are not sorry. FORGET IT. Try to. I know it can be difficult. I know it can be hard, but think about Jesus, and what he did for you.

Has someone cheated you? Forgive
Has someone hurt you/ destroyed you? Forgive
Has someone hurt someone or something you love? betrayed your trust? shattered your dreams? Forgive

Let Go. Let God. Let the burden slide. Forget the hurt and focus on the future. The reason why the PAST is called PAST is because it refers to things that have PASSED. Don't hold unto it... just allow it... and enjoy the abundance of God's blessings, even as you act in obedience to his word.

So if anyone is reading this, and I have offended you in my writing ( and other blog), I ask for your forgiveness... thank you for forgiving me. ( you drank my coffee anyway, so you have no choice!)

Glory be to God, the most HIGH.......

Reflections-

I watched with interest as I journey to work this morning. The train was packed full and people literally squashed against each other for space. The moment one seat became available; at least 3 people would push and shove to occupy the seat. I stood for a few minutes and soon enough, a seat became available, which I grabbed without thinking. As I sat down, I realised that the woman who had been standing next to me held on to her young child. I contemplated offering my seat to her, but I was too lazy and tired to do so. May God forgive me and help me overcome selfishness. Anyway, thankfully, a seat became available. Expecting the woman to grab the seat and carry her child on her lap, she surprised me by not doing just that. She actually gave her child the seat, while she stood, squashed by passengers in the hot stuffy carriage as she struggled to hold on to their heavy bags as well. Her child on the other hand, was comfortable. What mattered to her, was the comfort of her child.

It reminds me of one story I read. A house was burning with fire. The inhabitants of the house, thought they had escaped, until the father realised that his young son was still upstairs, trapped in the fire. The frantic man fought to go and save his child, but was held back by fire-fighters- the blaze was too much and would certainly kill him. The only option was to guide the boy into jumping from the 3 or so storey house. Skilled Fire-fighters called out to he child and asked him to jump. The frightened boy, heard them, but chose to ignore them. As the blaze became hotter, the father of the child became more desperate, so he pulled away from the hold of the firemen and rushed to the foot of the building. With a loud cry, and outstretched arms, he called out to his son and asked him to jump. The boy wasted no time in hurling himself into the open arms of his father.- the only person he knew would not let him fall.
A man took his 5 year old nephew for a walk. As they walked around, the nephew suddenly held out his arms and said in a small shy voice;’ please, carry me uncle’. Surprised at the request, the uncle did so, and continued walking. After a short while, the nephew spoke. ‘Do you know why I asked you to carry me?’ he asked.

The uncle shook his head and the young nephew smiled, saying,’ I was tired and couldn’t really see up the trees as we walked. I know you are strong and tall, so I asked you to carry me, so I could see the trees, without being too tired to walk’.
If we look at the three stories I shared, there is something common- which is, Love and trust. The first story depicts the love of a parent to a child. The second depicts the trust a child has in the voice of his father, the third, the total security of a child in knowing that his weakness did not matter because someone stronger was there right by his side.

Now, let’s sit back and think about our Father in heaven. The Lord has demonstrated the greatest act of love by sending his only son to die for our sins. Jesus, in his love, gave up his life for us, and loved us sooo much that even as he departed the world, he sent the Holy spirit to continually minister to us. The examples I shared in the story are human beings, prone to error and flaw, but if we who are humans, can love our children and family, and cause our children to trust in us, how much more, will the God of the whole universe love, protect and do what He feels is good for you? His word says:

Are not five sparrows sold for two pennies? Yet not one of them is forgotten in God's sight. But even the hairs of your head are all counted. Do not be afraid; you are of more value than many sparrows. (Luke 12:6-7)

How amazing is that!! God cares so much that every single hair on our head is numbered!!!
I remember being brought up by my mum as a single parent. Despite this, she did everything in her power to make us comfortable. I don’t remember lacking anything I needed. My school fees were paid on time; there was always food on the table. But, I did notice, that my mother did not change her car, neither did she buy any new clothes for a long long time. One day, she offered an explanation to me. She said, ‘ I wanted to make sure you lacked no good thing, so I denied myself of some pleasures for you’. I can never forget the way I felt that day. This was the same mum that I annoyed almost everyday by my constant complaints and selfish demands. But guess what? She doesn’t even love me half as much as God does!!! There’s a verse in Isaiah 49 15-16 which makes my heart beat with wonder: God says:

"Can a mother forget the baby at her breast and have no compassion on the child she has borne? Though she may forget, I will not forget you! See, I have engraved you on the palms of my hands; your walls are ever before me.

That verse tells us that, mothers actually MAY forget their children, but HE would NEVER forget us, because we are engraved….. Look at your palm for a second. Can you see those lines there; have you ever left those lines at home? I though not!! Lol.. That’s how we are in God’s hands. Like those lines… engraved and embedded in his palms. He takes us everywhere he goes because he cannot cut of his palms- we are a part of God! How wonderful is this God!! You must know today that GOD loves you. God wants to protect you, to heal you, to care for you….. To show you what to do in times of stress. He says further in Isaiah 30:

Whether you turn to the right or to the left, your ears will hear a voice behind you, saying, "This is the way; walk in it." (Isaiah 30:21)- That’s the Holy Spirit!!

Beloved, be rest assured that no matter what you are going through, God knows, he hears and he is working it out in your favour. Just do as said below:

Trust in the Lord with all your heart and lean not on your own understanding; in all your ways acknowledge him, and he will make your paths straight. (Proverbs 3:5-6)

God is bigger than the mother that loves you.

God is mightier than the father that reaches out to you.

God is stronger than the uncle that protects you.

God is more than able to meet your needs. God is so great that He swares by himself--- there is NONE GREATER THAN HIM!! halleluyah!!

Just trust in him...

God bless you and have a favoured week!! And when it manifests, be sure to tell me!!

Yours,

If GOD can do it for her, he can do it for you too... Enjoy this piece that I title- The Favoured Driver!!

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Dear Bimbylads,
I would like to share my testimony with you and everyone else who needs to witness the loving kindness of our mighty Father.

Sometime in early December, I received a letter from my states's Department of Motor Vehicles stating that my license was suspended for 180 days for driving while my license was suspended. I was asked to hand my license. My initial reaction was to cry and jump on the phone to call my mom. She tried calming me down but to no avail. I couldn't believe my license was being suspended and I really did nothing wrong. let me rewind a bit for the sake of clarity.

In July of the same year, before I recieved the letter ,my sister who lives with my mom in another state called me at work to inform me that I had received a letter from Motor Vehicles saying that my license was suspended for failure to pay a parking ticket. My mom moved to a different state last year and my mail was forwarded to her new address because at the time we were moving and I did not have a firm address.

I went ahead and paid the $100 restoration fee all online. I was told I would be receiving a letter in the mail in regards to my driving privileges being restored. I had for some reason assumed the letter was sent and everything was alright. Boy was I wrong.

In September, my sister and some of her friends came to visit me and attend a family friend's graduation party, since my sister is under 25 renting a car in her name would be either very difficult or very expensive. My boyfriend, who also lives in MD decided to help my sister rent the car in his name. On the day of the graduation party my sister and her friends were in one car and I was in another car with my cousins. While driving on the highway, someone struck my sister and ran off causing slight damage to the rental car.

I was driving about five minutes behind my sister and I instructed her to find somewhere safe to park and call the police. Upon my arrival I saw that the front right side of the bumper was a bit damaged. My sister was afraid because she was under 25 and the terms of the rental was that someone 25 and older would be handling the vehicle, so in order to avoid any difficulties with the rental company I decided to step in and tell the officers that I was the one driving.

So now, let's fast forward to December. The letter stated that since I was driving with a suspended license in September they were going to suspend my license for another 6 months. At one point I stopped crying and asked myself what crying would do for me...will my crying automatically reinstate my license...??! NO...so I handed it all to God. I said, 'my God will take control' and from that moment I just started singing praises to God.

I work in NY so the next day during my commute on the train a voice said to sing praises until my Lord and Saviour for He will surely see me through. I refused to think about how not having my license would affect my work, and getting around. I live alone and there is no one nearby for me to rely on to take me from point A to B, but I didn't think about that I didn't care.
That very day my boyfriend called the Department of Motor Vehicles and was on hold for almost 35 minutes until he finally got someone to listen to my case and sympathize with me the person told us to go and request a hearing. This was Wednesday 12/5.

On Thursday he came down so that we could go early Friday morning to request a hearing. That Thursday I fasted until the Lord to have the outcome work in my favor. That Friday morning on the way to the DMV we prayed and prayed. I asked God to surprise me that morning and He surely did. To the glory of His name we were only there for 10 minutes. They realized that they had made a mistake for not having reinstated my license from July, and my licensewas back on good standing as from the 5th of December. That was the same day we spoke to someone on the phone. Everything was already taken care of...God truly surprised me. On a regular day one can be there for up to 4 hrs but we were there for only 10 minutes and it was them who said they had made a mistake. I didn't have to pay 1 cent....
I prayed for divine favour and God granted it to me...I prayed the people would go out of their way to help me and it came to pass. It is my prayer that in 2008 we shall all have divine favour and expect the extraordinary in our lives. I give Great Glory to His Holy Name. Amen
