FIVE MONTHS AGO...


Mrs Belinda sat at her daughter's graduation with tears rolling down her cheeks.

 Her friend, Bukky, who sat beside her noticed and asked "Belinda, why are you shedding tears on Joyce graduation? You should be smiling instead"

 Mrs Belinda replied: "Bukky you don't understand. Am shedding tears of joy and gratitude. I was supposed to die 'five months ago'.

 "What?!" Bukky exclaimed. And you are telling me now?

 "I didn't want to disturb you with my troubles" replied Mrs Belinda.

 "Ok ; but, can you at least tell me what really happened? Asked Bukky.

 Mrs Belinda took in a deep breath like one that climbed the stairs of a tower and began her story.

 "I was diagnosed of having brain tumors multiplying rapidly. The doctor said I had five months to live.

 FIVE MONTHS AGO...

 Mrs Belinda sat at the doctors office looking nervous.

 The door opened and a young man about the age of 33 years stepped in.

 "Mrs Belinda, nice meeting you again.
Its been three weeks since our last meeting.
I went through the test result and even sent it to one of our Specialist.
It doesn't look good"

 "Doctor, what is it?"

 "You have a rare terminal disease called lampington disease. Its the rapid multiplying of tumors in the brain.
From our results here, its shows you have just five months to live.
Am sorry Madam."

 "We could carry out a brain surgery to buy you more time".

 Mrs Belinda looked at the doctor; smiled and said "hmmm...this is not my portion in Christ"

 "Madam, I would advice you go home and decide if you will carry out the surgery or enjoy life to the fullest for the next five months"

 Mrs Belinda replied "Doctor, I will not undergo the surgery. Moreover your test result isn't saying the truth about me"

 "Madam, I could refer you to another doctor for another test but I can confidently tell you he would say the same thing. This is the truth of your test am holding here."

 "Doctor, that might be the truth to you but to me, its a fact about me not the truth.
I am going to live more than five months and beyond and attend my daughter's graduation ceremony.
The God I serve will see me through".

 The doctor stared at her for some minutes and at last spoke up, "ok then Madam, I guess our meeting is over. I hope to hear from you concerning your decision".

 Mrs Belinda went home that day. Knelt by her bedside and began to pray fervently.
She read the word of God daily and claimed the promises in it.
Read books on healing.
Listened to tapes on healing.
Praised God joyfully for answers to her request daily.

 Her faith in God was so strong. Nothing could shake it.
She went about her life happily. Not even her children knew what was going on with their mother.
Oh! What a great faith.

 Exactly Five months.

 She went back to the same doctor to run another test and scan on her again.
This time around, something miraculous had happened.

 "This can not be!" Exclaimed the doctor.
Mrs Belinda what did you do?

 "What Doctor?"

 "The test shows no trace of any brain tumor. Unbelievable!"

 "Mrs Belinda, I have to refer you to one of our specialist for his own result. Please."

 "No problem doctor" said a smiling and laughing Mrs Belinda.

 She went and came back with the results.

 Her doctor was so bewildered.
"This is beyond me" he said.

 "Doctor, I told you my case is different. I knew my God cannot fail me. He said in His word that "I shall not die"; He is a God that does the impossible".

 The doctor was dumfounded, speechless and shocked. While Mrs Belinda was busy singing, rejoicing and praising God for healing her.

 PRESENT TIME.

 Bukky spoke finally. " this is way out of this world. You mean you got this news and you where busy joining me to prepare for my daughters wedding. You are unbelievable. What a great testimony"

 "So when is the thanksgiving party? You know it has to happen and am planning it."

 Mrs Belinda laughed but before she could reply, her daughter was announced as the best graduating student.

WHAT DOES SACRIFICE MEAN IN A RELATIONSHIP?

Every relationship requires some sacrifices. Even, a garden full of flowers requires sacrifice to tend it. It takes sacrifice for a farmer to reap good harvest. What does it mean to be sacrificial? Being sacrificial is being selfless and loving, all out for someone and even inconveniencing yourself. So, in your relationship, you say am not the "this type of person, I am not the that type of yen yen" and you know it can make that relationship blossom, why not make sacrifices and do it. it is called sacrificial love Maybe the sacrifice you have to make is understanding and patience, taking in the other person's mental health into consideration. Nobody was born a type of person.  School, parents, environment, experiences, church, etc ; shaped us into being some type of person. But, self centeredness and selfishness hinders us from making sacrifices. Even our Lord Jesus that died and resurrected was not the "dying type of person" to die for us, but He made that sacr...

THE YEAR HAS BEGAN.

The year 2018 was a blessed year for me. The year a significant change took place in my life;  I became a mother to a glorious baby. This change didn't seem possible but just like the song writer said "my hope is built on nothing less than Jesus Christ, my righteousness; I dare not trust the sweetest frame, But wholly lean on Jesus' name. ..." . Well, here we are in a new year; 2019. Maybe you where told by the doctor you wouldn't make it to this year, but here you are. Circumstances challenged you to give up, but here you are. After experiencing 10 hours plus of labour, it didn't seem like my baby and I would make it but God made a way and we had victory. (story for another day) Our God is faithful! Encourage yourself in the Lord this year. Committ all you instead doing to Him. Have hope but work towards achieving your hope. Develop that idea you have. Improve yourself. Above all, make prayer and studying of the word of God a life styl...

WHAT SECRET SIN ARE YOU STRUGGLING WITH

' Secret sin', a dilemma of many born-again Christians. It is secret in the eyes of men but God sees it all. One minute you are on fire for God and before you know it, you are back to ground zero. Just like 'a dog going back to its vomit' (read my post on this). Am talking  about the secret sin that you are secretly enjoying, the one that prinks you, fills you with so much guilt and your conscience won't let you rest. The one that makes us ask ourselves "how will I start praying to my God now that have done this ". Well,  He said we should come come boldly to the throne of grace asking for mercy. Many of us are struggling with one secret sin or more. We have tried to quit on our own. Maybe it's draining our health, stealing your Joy and relationship with God, causing issues in your home, workplace, marriage or financially. The solutions to these 'secret sin' from a personal view are: - Ask for the help of the Holy Spirit. - F...
