Trusting God's Sovereignty: Finding Peace in Uncertainty

 Trusting God's Sovereignty: Finding Peace in Uncertainty

               Behind a smile is a tear that is hidden, behind a smile is a tear that is suppressed.


Prior to the time of my granny's passing, it seemed like my mother already had a feeling that she would die, she carried her portmanteau and told the family to give her like two weeks that she would be back. Actually, she wanted to check on her mom and the feeling was already so strong. Two weeks passed and my mother didn't look like she was coming home, I felt nauseated; like I would puke anytime my father called to tell me the latest update. 


Reality was far like the smell of November wind in the West. We all wanted our mother to be home, but at the same time, we needed granny to be well, and since there was no one taking care of grandma, my mother had to stay. I remember calling my mother one evening, telling her about Heaven and the possibility of granny's last days.


I am not a seer, but I could tell that granny was living in her last days, I told my mother about preaching to granny and sharing the good news of salvation, my mother didn't object one bit, but there was a streak of uncertainty in her voice,

"Do you really think that mama isn't a born again Christian?"

I exhaled. "I am not saying so, but I just want us to be sure that she has done the greatest thing and she is ready and prepared for the last flight.

Obviously, what I had said broke my mum into two like a strike at a mahogany, but she didn't stood her ground. The next day, all I heard was that granny got saved and about hours after, she started to see visions of Jesus- she had broken into the realms of the supernatural

When the last of my grandparents died in November 2023, it was peace amidst tears, it was testimony amidst stories. 



   We may not be able to explain why we smile, but we shouldn't add to the reasons why we cry



This is to reiterate the fact that, so far a man\woman gives his life to Christ, there is unlimited and unfettered access to God and the power that He possess. This is the power that He has freely given to us, that we may be able to stand in the evil days and having done all to stand. I encourage you, my dear readers to note that God is still in the business of creating good out of bad. He is still in the business of giving beauty for ashes.

                                                          



                                                       JUST STAY IN\WITH GOD

Your circumstances may not be favorable, your path in life may not be smooth and all, but you will do well to entrust all your care upon Him for He careth for you.




Maintaining peace in the midst of uncertainties is just akin to waiting for a bridegroom on a wedding day, knowing fully well that there is no means of communication, yet you wait, believing that he will come and there will be no disappointment.


If we can have this strong belief in man, how about in God? 

Oh! 

Because we do not see Him right? The Bible says that blessed are those who are yet to see Him but they believe, so those who are true worshippers of God believe that He is and that He is a rewarder of them that diligently seek Him. 



Thank you so much for dropping by and for reading this piece, let me know if this story about my granny blesses you, I'd be more than happy to read your comments.

PETALS OF THE RAINBOW

AN ALERT OF 700 DOLLARS ON A SUNDAY MORNING

Image
An alert of 700 USD on Sunday morning!  I became numb for about 5minutes after seeing the notification at around 3:00am on my phone. Who could have sent this to me, now? I didn't do any foreign transaction in the past week, so I wasn't even expecting a top up in my domiciliary account.  My husband could tell that I was tossing on the bed because I couldn't really sleep. Because in my head, I was doing all sort of permutations and calculations for the money!😂  Lo and behold, when my eyes had cleared properly by dawn next morning, it turned out to be that it was the same message box that my bank was using to send me transaction details. I mean it is the same message box for my naira and USD account. 😂  UBA got me there. 😂 But what was I thinking? Apparently, I was carried away and drowsiness didn't even help matters. This greatly reminds me of today's message on FAITH. It is okay to expect a miracle from God. But how do you fold your hands, sit and expe...

I HAPPILY ACCEPT EGOISTIC MEN!

  Hello? Can you see that? Yes/No. If need be. Please adjust and re-adjust your glasses And yes, I am screaming this with an unapologetic effect I ..................... Happily Accept The Egoistic  ....................men.                                     Relax! I will make you see the reasons. A message flashed into my inbox from a young man, few days ago. I had wanted to ignore his first two greetings as a result of his language style, but I had to give him the benefit of doubt. Not too long, we had series of conversations beyond that. And just within the first few days, when I would have thought we should progress by an inch closer to being platonic friends. His contact was deleted from my HATE list. Yes, you got that right. And why would I ever do that in the first instance? He wasn't meant to be enlisted in the first place and I gave him reasons. Seeing that I was too peculiar abo...

How to survive in a demonic environment. (Three Powerful ways.)

Image
  I want to share Three Powerful ways by which you can survive in a demonic environment/territory.  I was discussing with my husband about some strange things that I started to notice around our apartment during the day. During those times, he's usually not around. He would always be at work. One one of those times, the strange presence came visiting and my children happened to see it first.  As soon as they started pointing at a weird thing, I braced up in my spirit and continued what I was doing.  If you happen to live in one currently, kindly walk with me.  I was at the kitchen doing the dishes when I got goosebumps and instantly I started to chuckle.  From chuckling, I began to laugh.  I laugh so hard that I had to leave the dishes in the kitchen and go to the sitting room There, I sat and laughed, looking into space and through the eyes of the spirit, I confronted what was.  As soon as that episode was over, I didn't even understand all I jus...
