In This Season...
Bless Your
Enemies
“But
I say unto you, Love your enemies, bless them that curse you, do good to them
that hate you, and pray for them which despitefully use you, and persecute you”
(Matthew 5:44)
In this season, GOD will move your hand to bless your
enemies through prayer among other ways.
Zero
You will find yourself, at ‘point zero’; a place of ‘nothingness’.
Do not panic, GOD is doing a new thing.

Divine Delay
Are
you, sometimes, grateful to GOD that He did not answer the instant that you
prayed about it?
Well, I have learned to do so personally.
Well, I have learned to do so personally.
“And Sarai said unto Abram, Behold now,
the LORD hath restrained me from bearing: I pray thee, go in unto my maid; it
may be that I may obtain children by her. And Abram hearkened to the voice of
Sarai. And Sarai Abram's wife took Hagar her maid the Egyptian, after Abram had
dwelt ten years in the land of Canaan, and gave her to her husband Abram to be
his wife” (Genesis 16:2-3).
The New Passport
Getting
a new passport that accommodated my new name was not easy. I was told, that I
had to register in the Ugandan gazette and attach a copy of my deed poll. It
would have been a lot easier, if the registration in the gazette was free but
it was not! They mentioned, a certain amount of money that I did not have. Therefore,
I rested my case; after all, I had no plans to travel then.
In
fact, the years sped by and I did not give it much thought, but that there was
a certain ‘delay’. Now, in the four years after that, the National
Identification process began and, before long, I was in possession of my
national ID, complete with my new name. Now, the delay because of lack of money
was divine because I later found out that I did not need to register in the
Ugandan gazette! I figured that it was because my name had already been
captured in the system. In other words, I did not have to suffer the cost of
that registration – one costly step had been gotten rid of! I only had to pay a
smaller amount of money to acquire a new passport!
In
short, GOD allowed financial lack in my life so that I would not spend on
something that I did not have to spend on!
The ATM Card
They
could not seem to get it right! For that reason, I had lost my patience with
them and only the grace of GOD sustained me there. They had failed to give me
the ATM card that I had applied for and paid for, close to a year ago!
Therefore, whenever I needed to carry out any banking activity, I had to spend
time and money to visit the Banking Hall! As if that was not enough, I was
charged a certain fee every time that I made any transaction over the counter!
Consequently, I began to plot my exit from the Bank!
As
if someone had read my mind, the Bank sent me a text message telling me about E-Banking.
Soon enough, I was transacting my financial activities using my phone! Finally,
all my initial banking challenges were ‘resolved’!
As I
completed my most recent ‘E-transaction’ without ‘moving an inch’, and at no
cost too, I realized that that delay was divine! GOD had allowed it to happen,
so that He could give me something much better at the lowest cost!
Our Daily Lives
Now,
I cannot fail to compare this to our daily lives. As we make our requests known
to GOD, our answers seem to take long. Therefore, we turn to ‘Hagar’ because we
are tired of waiting! In fact, it seems as if GOD is not doing anything about
it, only to be surprised by an even better solution that will not cost us much!
When
we seem to be making no progress, GOD is working on something that will make us
forget the agony of waiting. In fact, we shall see the reason behind the wait
and will be glad that we had to wait.
Therefore,
before you lose heart and choose Hagar, remember that some delays are divine
and that your solution is just around the corner!
PRAYER
Dear
GOD, I now know that the delay that I face is, sometimes, divine. Therefore, I
ask you to give me the insight to always be aware of this and to be patient
while I wait.
I
thank you, LORD, because you have done it. In Jesus’ name, I have prayed, amen.

‘Ask Me to Teach You’
7th April 2009
‘Ask Me to Teach You’
“You should ask me to
teach you when to move, and when to stay where you are, when to be silent and
when to speak, what to say and how to say it when you speak”.

BALM
“Is there
no balm in Gilead…” (Jeremiah 8:22).
…maybe, had I not been aware of the
fact that ‘it’ was multipurpose, I would have gone for the other option…maybe, I
would have missed it had GOD not communicated about it. Well, thank GOD, that I was
alert enough to recognize the voice of GOD…
As her hands deftly took charge of my
hair, I knew that I was in good hands! PHEW! For a while there, I had been very
apprehensive, at her exclamation that it had not been done right the first
time. However, she seemed to know what she was doing! As I settled back in the
salon chair, my attention was drawn to the word, ‘BALM’; I realized that GOD
was saying something but I did not know what. Therefore, I made a mental note
to look for the ‘balm of Gilead’ in the Bible. Well, the twenty three year old
salon-girl did a great job, and soon enough, I was out of the Salon to run my
next errands.
It was a busy day and shopping was
one of the things that I had to take care of. Therefore, I reluctantly tried on
one dress after another until I settled for the second one that I had tried on,
just as GOD had told me to do prior to the shopping. Nonetheless, I was ‘awakened’
to a certain itching on my chest…some insect, in one of the dresses that I tried
on, had taken a tasty bite of me! Therefore, someone later assisted me with some
cream and I applied to my chest. However, the stingy sensation continued.
Consequently, when I got home, I
asked my sister if she had any ointment that I could apply to the tiny circle
of stinging pimple like swellings on my chest. Now, interestingly, of the two
oils that she mentioned was an Avon moisture therapy lip BALM! I did not even
touch the other option; my choice had already been decided for me by GOD and I was
healed in no time at all.
Now, I cannot say that I understand
your pain; in fact, I do not know how it hurts. However, what I know for sure
is that GOD prepared the right BALM long before you were ‘stung’, while going
about your errands! In other words, the solution to what you are facing right
now, was released before you got that problem. Therefore, in due course, GOD
will put it right into your hand and you will receive your healing once you
apply it.
Of course, there are as many stings
are there are balms. Your sting may have
been the result of a failed relationship or a failed marriage, or the death of
a spouse or the loss of a job. Whatever the source of your sting, take heart, GOD
knows the exact solution for it.
You must realize that the balm that
GOD prepared for my healing was a LIP BALM that happened to be multipurpose. Sometimes,
the solution that GOD gives you seems like it is for a different purpose but it
will work. For instance, concerning that job ‘situation’, GOD may tell you to
submit to your husband at home. The two seem to be in different continents
altogether but, trust GOD that balm will work!
PRAYER
Dear GOD, I know that you have
already prepared the balm for this sting. Please, open my eyes, ears, and all
the other senses so that I do not miss it. Give me the grace, to choose the
right option that will lead me to my healing. Thank you, LORD, because you have
heard me.
In Jesus’ name, I have prayed, amen.

'Joseph' and 'Daniel'
Joseph and Daniel
In this season, there is a wave of
accurate dream interpretation and wisdom to operate even after the
interpretation (just like Joseph did). Some, like Daniel, will even get insight
of dreams that no one has told them about by the Spirit of GOD. Therefore, many
are dreaming strange (disturbing) dreams in this season, that only ‘Joseph’ or ‘Daniel’
can interpret!
Dream Jobs
Many, over forty years of age, will
apply for jobs and get them. Suddenly, they will be in more demand than those
much younger than they are.
Appreciation
You will be appreciated. Some may not
even think about what they are doing, when they do so, but you will recognize
the genuineness behind the words.

'Imperfection'
‘Imperfection’
“And lest I should be exalted above measure
through the abundance of the revelations, there was given to me a thorn in the
flesh, the messenger of Satan to buffet me, lest I should be exalted above measure.
For this thing I besought the Lord thrice, that it might depart from me. And he
said unto me, My grace is sufficient
for thee: for my strength is made perfect in weakness. Most gladly therefore will I rather glory in my
infirmities, that the power of Christ may rest upon me” (2 Corinthians 12:7-9).
Are you aware that the
GOD who created you, knows exactly what your weaknesses are? He has placed them
right there where only He and you can 'find them'. However, He still wants you to hand them
over to Him, so that His work on them can begin. Nonetheless, He does not stop
using you while He is fixing you but continues to use you for His Kingdom!
Now, let me tell you
about my ‘Red shoe experience’.
I LOVE Red. Therefore, it was to be expected that I would get
myself a ‘working pair’ of beautiful red shoes! Even if it came with a few
‘issues’, ‘we’ managed to get over them by the grace of GOD!
Now, one day after a Boda boda (motorcycle) ride, I was disappointed
to note that one of the shoes (the shoe on the right hand side) had a white string-like
mark at the back of the heel! A nail had tightened its grip on the heel of my
red shoe, somewhere during my journey on the Boda boda - I was crushed,
could not get rid of it because it was fairly new! Therefore, I had no choice
but to 'forget about it'…to forget that it existed! Thank GOD, it was at the back,
and that only those who walked behind me could see it. Those who were headed in
my direction, and those who walked alongside me, were oblivious to it!
The mark was another of many lessons, in humility, that GOD
was teaching me. Seeing that I had no money to buy myself another pair, I was
forced to ‘live with it’ as ‘marred’ as it was! Interestingly, one of the
reasons that I forgot about it was because I chose to IGNORE IT! Similarly, we
should choose to IGNORE our weaknesses.
We should also be aware that weaknesses teach us to be
humble; knowing that we are so gifted, yet with something that makes us
somewhat imperfect! In fact, just like Paul’s 'thorn in the flesh', I happen to
believe that GOD allows some of these weaknesses to be a small part of our
lives, in order to humble us. You see, sometimes, we consider ourselves too
anointed to have any weaknesses and that is when pride sets in.
This ‘red shoe situation’ taught me that we can live with our
weaknesses, as well as those of other people, while GOD fixes us and them. It
is sad that we often wear our weaknesses on our ‘faces’ instead of on the back
of our heels! We forget that they are weaknesses and that only those who walk
behind us can see! We should front our strengths where all can see them while
we trust GOD to take away our weaknesses that happen to be on the BACK OF OUR HEELS.
Interestingly, those weaknesses that we are most aware of,
are not noticed by those who walk beside us but those behind us if they do
notice them at all!
Also, we must look for the strengths of those with whom we
relate, or besides whom we walk, instead of looking for their weaknesses.
Interestingly, people’s strengths are more visible than their weaknesses.
Nonetheless, we tend to intentionally ‘walk behind them’, focus on the ‘white
string-like mark’ and magnify it!
It would be nice to note that, just as I could not dispose of
the pair of shoes because of the white mark, GOD does not dispose of us because
of our weaknesses. He works with us concerning them. All that He requires of us,
is to commit them to Him. As He works on them, He expects us to wear them at
the back of the heel of our favourite shoes, where we cannot see them. He
expects us to ‘forget’ about them, ‘front our strengths’, and trust that He is
working on the weaknesses.
Interestingly, the white mark was not a hindrance to my
wearing the pair again – I still looked good in my red pair of shoes and it did
not subtract from the effectiveness of the red shoes! Similarly, your
weaknesses do not stop GOD from using you. What GOD wants you to do, however,
is to hand them over to Him and focus on living right, doing right, and living
a holy life. As you turn your back on the weaknesses, and focus on GOD, you
will be more effective and humble knowing that you are also human enough to
have them. It will also be evident to you (and to everyone else) that in your
weaknesses, His strength is made perfect and that even if they are still there,
the grace of GOD is sufficient! He will give you enough strength not to succumb
to them.
Still, when we are aware of our weaknesses, commit them to
GOD, and focus on our strengths, we become less aware of the weaknesses of
those around us, commit them to GOD, and focus on their strengths as well!
However, it is unfortunate that our weaknesses blind us to
the fact that GOD can still use us. In fact it is sad that, sometimes, we
become arrogant and justify ourselves regarding them instead of acknowledging
them and allowing GOD to change us.
Therefore, today, let us acknowledge our weaknesses and hand
them to GOD. Let us wear them on our heels instead of on our faces and let us
move on. Let us be reminded that they are so insignificant to GOD that He can
use despite of them. Let us also be reminded that to those who walk beside us
and to those who approach us, they are not noticed but to those walk behind us
they may be noticed if they are keen enough to notice them.
Allow me to let you know that since my favourite pair of
working shoes had that little ‘accident’, no one has ever mentioned the white
like path on my heel! This means that they either do not notice it or have
chosen to ignore it as I have!
Therefore, let us be safe in the knowledge that we have
handed them to GOD and that He is working on them while we bask in our
strengths!
Prayer
Dear GOD, I know that I have been marred – I have certain
weaknesses that I now hand to you. I turn my back on them and my face to you,
trusting that you will take them away. Given that I am also not perfect, I choose to ignore the weaknesses of those with whom I relate on a daily
basis. I hand them over to you so that you can sort them out. In the meantime,
let me continue serving you, with flaws, as if I do not have any! In Jesus’
name, I have prayed, amen.

I Almost Made 'That Call'!
I ALMOST MADE THAT CALL!
“Everyone should be quick to listen, slow to
speak and slow to become angry” (James 1:19).
I had to rush back home after the Sunday service so that
I could change my purse and go shopping. As I waked away from home and joined
the main road, I saw it. I could not miss it because of its colour; YELLOW! The
front cover of my second publication, ‘The Bridge’, could not be missed. She
held it in her arm against her breast on top of what looked like a black plastic file.
I walked to her, greeted her, and asked her if she liked it and she told me
that she did. She told me that she, especially, likes the prayers in it – I was
happy. I introduced myself to her as the author and she immediately turned it
around to look at my photo on the back cover. I then asked her where she had got
it from and she told me that she had bought it in a stationery shop in
Bushenyi, which is many miles away from Kampala. She told me that she had
paid 35,000/= for it! I could not hide my SHOCK! I told her that I
do not sell them and that I give them away free of charge. Well, I thanked her
for her time and took my leave of her.
As I walked away, I made PLANS! I quickly made a decision to
buy some airtime, call the man who had printed them for me and give him a very big
piece of my mind…should I call him and tell him off or should I ask to meet
with him, I wondered! He had seemed like such a good man, born again, soft-spoken,
and honest! Why had he printed more copies and then sold them at such an amount
of money? No wonder he had not insisted that I take my films and plates…he must
have printed more copies, without my knowledge, and sold them! Well, I was not
going to give him more business when I printed my third book!
I soon got to the airtime vendor and bought some airtime. For
no apparent reason, I told him what I had just learned, how disappointed I was
and that I was going to ‘make that call’. Just then, a young man (engaged in a
telephone conversation) who I had also given a copy of the same book, walked
out of the restaurant where he worked. I hardly noticed that he had ended his
call until he walked to me and addressed me directly. However, what he said shocked
me into silence! He said that he had just lent his copy of the book that I gave
him to his sister who had just left the restaurant! He said that she had called him a few minutes back to tell him that she had met the author of the book that he had lent her. He also told me that he had
listened to my conversation with the airtime vendor and that his sister had not
paid any money for the book! In other words, it was not necessary for me to make that call! I
thanked him for not only putting my mind at ease but for saving me from making
a complete fool of myself!
Now, situations such as the one that I describe above are the cause of many breakups,
divorces, and sour working relationships. If only we could be less hasty to react, and more mature even if we have all reason to think that what we have been told is the ‘truth’. If only we could maintain
our friendships and relationships regardless of what has been said as opposed to ‘making that call’. Sometimes, what we think is the truth about a matter is
actually not.
Prayer
Dear GOD, sometimes, I believe everything that I am told yet most of it is false. Unfortunately, LORD, it is upon this information that I often make decisions that destroy my relationships. Please forgive me. I
now make a decision to be more alert and mature. Give me the grace to be slow
to react. May I always wait upon you regarding how handle the information that
I receive. May I receive only correct information so that I am well informed
about all matters. I thank you, LORD, because you have done it. In Jesus’ name,
I have prayed, amen.

Not Many Will Understand...
“And
they overcame him by the blood of the Lamb, and by the word of their testimony”
(Revelation 12:11).
A number of
people had something to say about ‘it’ and they were all men! For a moment
there I thought that my photos were indecent. However, two of them were quick
to reassure me (on different occasions) that they were not. I then dared to ask
what the problem was.
One of them
said that he thought that I was no longer a servant of GOD because I was taking
so many photos! I wondered how the two were related…
The second said
that ‘people might get the wrong impression’… I wondered what that wrong impression
could be…well, since he was a friend, I endeavored to not only explain myself
to him but to share my testimony with him.
I told him how
bad it had been years back. I explained to him how the devil had put a mask on
my face such that I appeared older than my real age but was also not photogenic
at all. For a long time, I hated photographs and when I did take them, I could
never smile into the camera for fear that I would not look good. In fact, I did
not have any photo albums or that many photographs because I was simply not
photogenic!
Now, as if
that was not bad enough, the devil had gone and put a black veil on my face to
ensure that I was not attractive to men. One would not know it by simply
looking at me but I had had my struggles that I struggled to get out of. However,
thank GOD for GOD to whom I entrusted myself and we slowly began the journey.
I began to
pray and then, slowly by slowly, I began to see changes. As GOD tore off the
mask, he also ripped off the black veil that was its age-old accompaniment. The
changes were evident in the youthful look that GOD gave me – He renewed my
youth like an eagle’s! The increasing male attention that I began to receive could
hardly be ignored – something had lifted!
I began taking
photographs more often and enjoyed it too! I even became so daring as to take
selfies and then something interesting happened…as compared to the times when
editing would take close to an hour, at the photo studio, editing the photos I
took using my phone took less time as we went along until I stopped editing them
altogether. I became more confident ‘releasing’ unedited photos than I used to
be! WE HAD MADE PROGRESS!
As I continued
verbalizing my testimony, I told this friend of mine that given this
background, taking photos is not just a pastime to me but a TESTIMONY! In fact,
the more I post my unedited photos, the more I make an announcement, ‘LOOK WHAT
THE LORD HAS DONE’ – right there is my testimony!
By the time, I
was done with the long voice recording that I used to explain myself to him, I
was glad that he had commented. It gave me a chance to testify about the
goodness and faithfulness of my Father in heaven. It also gave me a much
deserved opportunity to overcome the devil! OH, it reminded me of how far GOD
and I had come – it had not been comfortable but we had managed to get ‘here’
in one piece.
Now, this made
it clear to me that not many will understand your actions. Some may even judge
you because they do not know. Some will even think that you are not as Godly as
they think you should be BUT THEY DO NOT KNOW…they do not know your testimony
just as they do not know how far you have come. They do not understand that, to
you, ‘it’ is actually more than what they think it is – IT IS TESTIMONY OF HOW
FAR GOD HAS BROUGHT YOU!
Therefore, do
not lose the goal…do not lose your prize. Wear it for all to see and keep your
gaze on the GOD who brought you this far.
Prayer
Dear GOD, I
thank you for all the struggles that you delivered me from. Even if many do not
understand why I do what I do, I will continue to do what I have to do in order
to silently, yet loudly, testify of your goodness and faithfulness to me. I
choose to bear the criticisms just so I can glorify you by sharing my
testimonies any way that I can. Amen.

OHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH... UGANDA!
VPN
Okay, Uganda, I have dragged my feet
about this long enough. However, GOD says that we are about to have another ‘VPN
season’ where we shall not be able to access the internet or social media. I do
not know what will happen this time to set it off but it will happen.
Revenue
“Bring the
whole tithe into the storehouse, that there may be food in my house. Test me in
this,” says the LORD Almighty, “and see if I will not throw open the floodgates
of heaven and pour out so much blessing that you will not have room enough for
it. I will prevent pests from devouring your crops, and the vines in your
fields will not cast their fruit,” says the LORD Almighty. “Then all the
nations will call you blessed, for yours will be a delightful land,” says the
LORD Almighty” (Malachi 3:10-12).
GOD also says that our economy is
struggling because we have not entrusted our money to Him. We do not return the
whole ten percent (tithe) and offering into His storehouse.
Therefore, Uganda must separate ten percent
(10%) of its revenue, add on an offering and return it to GOD. As a result our
economy will have the hand of GOD upon it. Of course, we must also follow all
the other kingdom financial principles but I have only been instructed to share
about tithe.
I pray that this message reaches the right
decision maker concerning this matter.
GOD BLESS YOU.
Prayer
Dear GOD, we have heard your word and
received it. However, even if we do not know
what the source of the next VPN season will be, we ask you to help us and avert
it – keep us from it dear LORD.
Father, we repent for not returning
the whole tithe and offering into your storehouse. We ask you to give us the
grace to do so. We now place this nation into your hands. We ask you to take
control of all our revenue and all that concerns us. In Jesus’ name, we have
prayed, amen.

Let Us Back Him Up!
“How good
and pleasant it is when brothers live together in unity! It is like precious
oil poured on the head, running down on the beard, running down on Aaron’s
beard, down upon the collar of his robes. It is as if the dew of Hermon were
falling on Mount Zion. For there the LORD bestows his blessing, even life for
evermore” (Psalm 133:1-3).
Isn’t it nice when we all work
together to support another servant of GOD? Right there, in the unity, is a
blessing forever more!
As I watched a certain gospel artist
worshipping GOD in song, last night, I was not only impressed with him but also
with his backup team! They all seemed to know that it was his ‘thing’…his ‘spot
light’. I could tell that they were all very gifted and anointed because the
song came out excellently but also because there was ‘something’ there that made
its way through the air waves – It seemed as if I was right there in the room
with them!
The gospel artist, himself, commanded
such a presence on stage that you could not take away from him – it was his
time to shine even if he was doing it while worshipping GOD. As he worshipped
GOD, GOD glorified Himself through him – the glory of the LORD was upon him!
I interact with so many artists that
I have come to acknowledge that some of them start out by ‘backing’ others.
They sing so well that if you are simply listening to an audio you cannot tell that
they are actually different voices. Some of the backup singers are already
established but because the lead singer has requested for their help, they drop
everything and run to his side.
Now, backing him does not mean that
they do not sing that well or that they are not established names already. It does
not mean that they will not be established, in future, if they back him. In
fact, most of them turn out to be very good gospel artists themselves.
Often times, in ministry, we get an
opportunity to help out a friend. However, it does not mean that we are less anointed
or that they are more anointed than we are – that should not even cross our
minds. It only means that there is only one ‘spot light’ for just one person at
any one time. We must let them have it! We must be united as we support one
another, regardless of whether it is releasing a song or preaching. If they
release a beautiful song or a fiery message, it does not mean that we cannot also
do so but that it is not yet our time. It also means that we should give them
our best help while we wait for our chance!
Let us also remember that it is not
about us or about the spotlight but about the GOD that we serve. Let us, then,
do all that is within our power to back them up. Let us ensure that the word of
GOD is preached to the ends of the earth and that we are behind it all the way.
‘Backing someone’ takes humility. You
make a silent statement and say, ‘I choose to take off these ‘hats’ just so I
can sit under your anointing. Let me be led for once. There is something that
you have that I could learn from’. You and I know that GOD exalts the humble
and humbles the proud. Let us intentionally humble ourselves so that the gospel
may be preached to all creatures.
Prayer
Heavenly Father, I now know that we
can only do well if we are united. LORD, give me the grace to support my
brethren in any way that I can. May I not take off from their shine but help
them shine more as they glorify you through what you have called them to do. I
thank you, LORD, because you have done it. In Jesus’ name, I have prayed, amen.

'LORD, I Messed Up Again'!
“But the
pot he was shaping from the clay was marred in his hands; so the potter formed
it into another pot, shaping it as seemed best to him” (Jeremiah 18:4).
Are there times in your life when
that ‘pot gets marred in your hands’?
Well, notwithstanding the fact that
you are a very good cook, every woman dreads that moment when she tastes the
nicely spiced meal for the first time (among guests) only to realize that she
added a lot of salt to one of the dishes! Thank GOD, my guest was not one that
I needed to impress!
Of course, upon realization of that
little problem, I apologized and made effort to redeem the rest of the dish.
However, even if I added some milk and water, the nicely spiced dish of beef
seemed to draw closer to the salt! Therefore, I went home a very subdued Zion!
Nonetheless, I knew that there was an
answer to that situation and I needed to find it! Therefore, I talked to GOD
about it and it was not long after that that He reminded me about my past
visits to Chinese restaurants. He reminded me of the sweet and sour dishes and
gave me the idea of adding sugar! The following day, I promptly added a small
amount of water to three tea spoonfuls of sugar and added it to the meal. I then
added a cookie to it and came up with a very tasty meal! I was amazed!
Now, the situation above reminded me
of how much we mess up sometimes but do not do anything about it. When we mess
up in any area of our lives, we should do everything within our power to make
it right. We should ask GOD to teach us how to make it right and then be
attentive to what He says. Sometimes, He may remind us of a situation in our
past that we could borrow from or He may create an entirely different solution.
Regardless of what solution GOD gives us, it is within us to seek Him for a way
out of that situation.
I do not know how you messed up this time but
I sure know that the solution is within you. I know that the first action,
towards making it right, is to acknowledge that it was your fault and that you
would like to make it right. You will then ask GOD to show you how to do that
and, when He does, you will give Him all the glory.
Prayer
Heavenly Father, I messed up again. I
cannot blame anyone this time because it was entirely my fault. Please forgive
me. I now ask you to show me how to rectify the situation so that I will give
all the glory when the problem has been sorted out. I thank you, LORD, because
you have done it. In Jesus’ name, I have prayed, amen.

GOD Will Teach You How To Do 'It'
GOD Will Teach You How To Do It
You were excited about
certain changes a few days back. However, before long, something went wrong.
Regardless of how much you tried, you could not sort it out.
You will try to seek help
from people, more knowledgeable than you, but to no avail. You will then ask
GOD to teach you and He will and the problem that gave you so much trouble will
be sorted out in a few seconds. GOD will teach you how to go about it. In fact, He will sort it out so quickly that kingdom
work, which has been on hold for so long, can be done!
Disheartened
It is everywhere you turn - you feel disheartened. The promise that GOD gave you, YEARS back, seems to have fallen on hard rock! You have given up. I know it is hard, given all the things that are happening or NOT HAPPENING. It now seems as if you did not hear the voice of GOD. However, be calm and wait upon GOD. It does not seem like it will happen, considering what is on ground, but GOD will perform His word. Hang in there.
