I promised the devil two days ago that I would laugh so hard at him and I DID IT yesterday. I laughed and laughed, oh it felt so good. He tried to take testimony out of my mouth, I told him my victory just started.

I prayed and prayed prior to the laughter. It felt like God was listening but didn't want to say a word. At some point I almost blasphemed, I was frustrated, my faith giving way but I realised it was the trick of the devil. I prayed again, this time using praise, I apologised for my frustration and asked for more grace and FAITH. I needed all I could get.

I studied the word, did three chapters instead of my usual two. During the study of the third, I felt sleepy, I barely kept my eyes open to finish it up. Then a deeeeeep sleep enveloped me. You know in Genesis God caused a deep sleep on Adam? That was the kind. Never slept so much during the day and I wasn't tired.

By the time I woke up, my strength renewed, I felt fresh in the spirit. I was all smiles and grins. It felt so good. I knew my problems were still there but God gave me a promise in my dream and I woke up feeling like I just won the lottery of £10,000,000. Wow, it felt so good to begin laughing at the devil right then. I had to go out to check if my prayers had been answered so quickly but I knew it hadn't. I got to the centre and found others waiting, I began encouraging people. Previously, I was the one who needed encouragement, now I gave it to others. I told them 'have faith, it won't be long' oh yeah? I needed that but I gave it because Christ was in me, and he gives joy when he lives within. Amen.

I am still laughing at the devil. The devil thought he had me, hahaha but Christ bought me and I am his most treasured possession.. Can you beat that? I am all high in the spirit and it will go on till the next week because Jesus bore my pain and took my sorrow to the grave, he rose up and it was gone. Hallelujah!!! 

I got telling the enemy this since yesterday. You know the devil is so smart, he thinks keeping you sad will take you away from your blessing. Yes, he may be right because when you are sad, he has power over you. I was sad and I felt the devil had won but Mercy and Grace told me to rise again through God's word. Amen!

Good thing I kept studying the word. I got back up and gave the devil a kick in the butt! Hallelujah! I am smiling again because Jesus bore my pain on the cross. This is the happiest moment of my life. And I profess the gospel of Christ in me. 

My Faith is stronger not small because when you push a baby-bird, you are teaching it how to fly and one day it will fly so high and away from you when you'd trouble it no more. The devil has pushed me to my limit and I'm flying higher and higher everyday. Isn't God so good?

He gives us troubles to make us stronger and I am confessing Philipians 4:6 - Be anxious for nothing but in everything by prayer and supplication with thanksgiving, let your request be made known unto God.

I encourage you to follow suit in that verse of Philipians. Let us go to the enemy's camp and TAKE back what he STOLE from US! Glory!!!

A friend shared this video on a facebook page and I thought to share it with you too.

This question is very vital in every Christian life. Some people are Christians because they were born Christian but I am a Christian because I have been and still I'm saved by Grace. The story of my life and his divine touch in my life has brought me down to my knees in appreciation and worship of his awesomeness.
Although born a Christian, I always asked myself why we had to do certain things. I was born and bred in one of these old churches known as the fundamentalists founded by Florence Crawford (Apostolic Faith Mission).. This church has been since 1907, it birthed from the 1906 Azusa street revival organised by William J. Seymour. I loved how my church was so historian - kind of a vintage feel but I never understood why my church was so different compared to all other churches in Africa (back then).
We all did everything different while normal black churches were up and going, very up beat etc. I felt restricted especially as a growing teen and worse, my parents won't have me 'misbehave' (in their terms). I did what they wanted me to do just to please them. The time came for me to leave home, I left far away.. I went across ocean and came to live in England. Then I truly understood why I am a Christian. I wasn't much of a Christian though, I should say my parents did a good job in bringing me up so I had good morals but that was no where near Christianity. I saw myself doing things I shouldn't be doing but the day came when God spoke to me.

When God speaks to you, his voice is clear and distinct. It can't be denied, you'll know of a truth God has caught up with you. That was what he did. He spoke to me in such a manner that no one else could. He said: "Do you love the world more than me?" I knew in my heart of hearts I didn't love God as much as expected. He'd done soooo much for me to walk out of his life. He was just too much for me to deny him. He had calmed so many storms in my life, he'd been there for my family, for me and he was still there for me in my Sin.

I had to give it up to him.

The peace afterwards was overwhelming. It was not a perfect moment after I returned to God but I tell you, There's a peace that comes into your heart and lives with you at all times, that peace, you can never get from anyone else but God.

I can boldly say I am a Christian by Grace

*Watch out for the novel about my walk with God.. The complete story coming soon! with others included*

..by the person you love; it hits you more than anything else. I've been pretty useless throughout today and tomorrow is a busy day for me. I should be preparing for tomorrow, but I can't. I'm ill suffering from chest pain. How terrible can this be?

I defo need God's grace to carry on. Oh, I felt like watching a film and I remembered "Sound of Music" I love the songs and I've been playing the scenes in my head even before seeing it. Lol. You know when you like a movie or film (you replay the scenes, the songs and you just remember all the funny bits and the interesting scenes you just can't stop watching) that's the way I felt watching it again. Just like yesterday, when I was a little girl and watching those kids sing, now an adult and one day will have my own kids (I pray not seven though).
I'm really trying not to think about this whole episode of Monday that got me really upset. I've never felt so disappointed, betrayed and hurt before. It's so sad and disappointing when those who you didn't expect that much hurt to come from eventually hurt you.

Lessons learnt: Never expect too much from people, they'll never cease to disappoint you.. It's best you underestimate people for them to surprise you than for you to overestimate their worth and they throw it in your face.
