21 days of gratitude

Day 21

I always thought I knew what believing meant up until I began to describe it and I couldn’t . What does it mean to believe ? That’s what we did to become born again but what does it mean, how does it work?

When the WORD or GOSPEL makes contact with the human spirit , believing has occurred . That is the whole purpose of studying , listening and meditating on the word, by these the WORD is pushed down to the human spirit. Until the WORD settles or is planted into the human spirit , it remains powerless .As powerless as a seed that falls on a rock .

This was huge for me. I could wake in the morning , take a good verse and ponder/ meditate on it all day knowing exactly what am doing. There are many perspectives of faith but there are two rock solid with me . Faith establishes what you believe. Faith is the harvest of what you believe. This is the greatest lesson the Holy Spirit taught me in my walk of the kingdom . How to take the word and move it from the Bible , sermon or sturdy and plant it in my spirit on purpose .

With the heart man believes , with the mouth confession/ declaration is made unto salvation

Days of gratitude

Day 19

Overwhelming percentage of every praise report or testimony we give is about something that can be seen, felt or received physically but the foundation of it all is the word of God. I have heard it said many times that God created the universe out of nothing. I disagree . God created the universe out of his word and his word is everything

Today , I thank God for his WORD, the building block of restoration, resurrection , blessings, healing , righteousness , the very foundation of life itself.Without his word on earth, there will be no testimony

Days of gratitude

Day 17

I had mentioned earlier that I lost my job on account of a lie.Well the lie was that someone determined that I had mental problem and my company took the decision to lay me off . I was shocked and very angry when I found out why.

First I did not fall into the category of ones to be laid off and secondly I did not and have never had a mental problem. If they had just laid me off , I would have moved on but to do it on account of a mental problem lie, no way.

I saw everybody I thought I knew Who could help, nothing happened . I prayed and prayed alone and with the brethren in church, nothing . It dragged on for 9 month. Getting back the job looked absolutely impossible . That same 9th month, the director of personnel was removed and a new one took over. I came to the premises one day to see a friend and he told me he knew the new guy and to follow him to his office. I did . Everybody that should take the decision to restore my job were miraculously in his office that day. My friend told my story and right there , he instructed them to restore my job. What dragged on for 9 month’s was over in 3 minutes.

You cant loose if you don’t quit.

Day 15

The old American western , BONANZA, was my personal box office growing up. Within a week of seeing the series , I and my friends, transformed into cowboys in our minds. We had no horses but we had an uncompleted building and sticks for guns. We would explore every nook of the structure , jumping off and on from wherever we could

One day we were on the property playing cowboys when a friend of mine appeared from nowhere pointing his stick gun at me. I took off in a leap and landed on a wood. I felt no pain until I looked down. A six inch nail had pierced my left feet and came out clean on the other side. I pulled it out , bleeding and headed home.

My mum grabbed my feet , cleaned it with spirit , put antibiotic and wrapped it in a giant band aid.. That was it. I went off limping for days until it healed.

God is good.
