It started as a very ordinary day
20th January 2008
Got up, got ready for service
A great one by the way!
Meditating on the message on the way home
When the text came
It said PRAY
I wanted to FEAR
but decided to PRAY
It started as a very ordinary day
20th January 2008
Got to the hospital
Heard all the negative reports
but decided to PRAY
saw the charts
but decided to PRAISE
saw the looks in their eyes
but decided to confess the WORD
It started as a very ordinary day
20th January 2008
After countless puffs of oxygen
three attempts at an epidural
tears and screams
at 9:05pm
the EXTRAordinary happened
T.O.M came into the world
PERFECT
and now Believer is
Aunty Believer
Please just help me praise God. He is just too wonderful. Mum, Dad and Babe are doing well. To all mothers out there, well done! Watching a child come into this world is an experience.
No matter what reports you hear, today CHOOSE to BELIEVE the report of the Lord.
Remain blessed and highly favoured

Don't give up
This morning while reading my Bible, a song came to me. I term it one of my more 'local' praise and worship songs that I sang as a child. It goes like this
everywhere He went
He was doing good
Almighty Healer
He healed the leper
When the people saw Him
they started walking
even TODAY
my Lord is doing GOOD
What really got me was the part that says that even TODAY..this very day..the 19th of January 2008..the Lord is doing GOOD. Sometimes when we have been waiting on the Lord for an answer to a specific need or a particular issue..the beginning of a new year sometimes seems bittersweet. We are happy to come into a new year alive and well but it is a reminder that the clock is ticking and we have been waiting. My encouragement to us is that even TODAY..our Lord is doing GOOD and in His perfect timing..those desires will come to pass in Jesus name.
In the Gospels..we hear about Jesus going from place to place..healing the sick, raising the dead, opening blind eyes, setting people free from demonic oppression and calming storms. Everywhere He went, He was doing good. I encourage you today to cling to Him and never let go..even though you are tired, just come to Him tired. If you can't stand He will carry you. As long as you are with Him, you will see that good. Never give up on that dream, just ask Him to come into the situation and watch Him work wonders.
I'm really expectant for good things this year. 2008 is our year of UNCOMMON TESTIMONY.
Remain blessed and highly favoured

Thank you for loving me
AS I AM
with my weaknesses
with my failures
with my insecurities
with my fears
with my DRAMA
but more than that
Thank you for loving me
TOO MUCH
to leave me that way
As I was reflecting today, I felt I heard him say..."Just come to me, as you are, where you are". Sometimes we think that when we want to come to Him, we need to be all good and perfect. It's ok to say that we are struggling, that we are unhappy or even afraid. Don't allow anything not even a mistake prevent you from coming to the ONE who loves you most. There's nothing about you He does not know and nothing will make Him stop loving you. Be rest assured when you spend some time with Him, He is willing and able to turn around every situation you may be facing..(yes, no matter how big it is, GOD IS BIGGER).
Have a blessed weekend. You are all BLESSED and HIGHLY FAVOURED.

Happy New Year!!
Welcome to 2008 everyone. I just thank God for His faithfulness in 2007 and I am looking forward to and expectant for great things in 2008!! I trust it will be the same for you. I was just spending some time in the quiet place and I was reminded of a statement that I had always confessed. It's something Bishop Eddie Long always has us say when he comes to preach in my church. It goes..
GOD SAID IT
I BELIEVE IT
THAT SETTLES IT
GOD SAID IT
He said that...........
I am blessed and highly favoured
I am healed from every sickness and disease
I am redeemed, justified and forgiven
I am the head and not the tail
I am a new creation in Christ
I BELIEVE IT
because nothing is too hard for Him
because He who promised is faithful
because He watches over His word to perform it
because He is not slow concerning His promise
because His word can never return to Him void
because nothing is impossible with Him
because everything happens at the time God says it will
THAT SETTLES IT
so....
no more shaking...NO SHAKING
I am anxious for nothing but take everything to Him in prayer and thanksgiving
I am still confident that I will see His goodness in the land of the living
2008 has to be a great year. For me, it is a year of new things. A year of forgetting what has happened before and embracing the new things that the Lord has for me.I am standing on Isaiah 43:18-19. I am trusting God for the impossible and am determined to follow Him every step of the way and trust Him and lean not on my own understanding. It is well.
Remain blessed and highly favoured and once again, welcome to 2008, the best year of your life

8 Wierd Things
Quick update: I'm sorry it seems I have become a 'part-time' blogger, it's really been so busy but I trust y'all are doing ok.
I was tagged by Rinsola a while ago. I'm not sure I know 8 things about myself talk less of 8 'wierd' things but let's see what I can come up with..
Before i start here are the rules:
1) Link to the person that tagged you and post the rules on your blog
2) Share 7 random and/or weird facts about yourself
3) Tag 7 random people at the end of your post and include links to their blogs
4) Let each person know that they've been tagged by leaving a comment on their blog
Those that have been tagged will know at the end, so keep reading :)
a)I love memorising numbers, I can recite my card numbers, start and expiry date, security number e.t.c. To do this I always look for relationships between the numbers for example when you give me your phone number I look at the digits to see how they relate i.e one of my friends taking the second set of three digits from the first set of three digits gives you the seventh digit in his phone number. It's funny, I just keep looking at the numbers until I find something
b)This may be linked to the first, but for some crazy reason I love to count steps. The number of steps to the second floor where I work is 51, to the platform for my train is 63 and to get upstairs at home 11! Don't ask me what I use this information for.
c)When I was young, I was scared of beards! Don't ask me why, for some strange reason I always thought that a random bearded stranger would hide me in his beard and I would never see my family again, u can just imagine what used to happen in the Christmas grotto with Father Christmas..I would scream my head off!!
d)I don't like flowers, please give me something else. I don't like gardening either. With me and flowers, I know they're pretty and all but they are DYING and I can't be bothered to look for a vase to put them in when I know they will end up in the trash in a few days!!
e)I think I've said this before..but I am obsessed with the colour brown! Every single day of my life I wear something or hold something that has brown in it. Although today, there is no brown in my dress, there is brown in my hair!
f)I do not like cheese but I love pizza..how is this possible?
g)Back to numbers, believe me I do not like math! I dislike odd numbers, i think it comes from the fact that you cannot divide by 2 to get a whole number but I would always prefer to deal with even numbers. In my head, even numbers are good, while odd numbers are bad!
That's it for me, as far as I am aware, most of blogville has been tagged to do this but if you haven't, pretty please CONSIDER YOURSELF TAGGED and get to stepping.
Compliments of the season in advance to everyone. Remember the reason for the season and remember to give thanks. To all travelling, I pray for a safe trip and for SANITY for those going through Heathrow!
Remain blessed and highly favoured

Worship
Dear Daddy
You are
higher than the highest
greater than the greatest
stronger than the strongest
wiser than the wisest
You are
my story changer
my song in the night
my secret keeper
my ray of sunshine on dark days
You are
the One who heals me
the One who raises me up
the One who wipes away my tears
the One who directs my paths
You are
the Rose of Sharon
the Lily of of the valley
the Lion of the tribe of Judah
the Lamb of atonement
You are
a great Provider
a great Protector
a great King
a great GOD
Lord, you are more than worthy to receive all the glory and praise. Thank you for being in my life. Thank you for being a Holy God but loving an unholy me. Thank you for loving me with a perfect love even though I am not perfect. Thank you that you were able to turn your back on your most precious son so you could face me and hold me tight in your embrace. I came to make a request but I see that indeed You have been faithful.
Thank you for holding me in the storm. Thank you for adopting me into your family. Thank you for your Word because I do not have to accept what my eyes show me as the finality of the situation, I can turn to your word and take what it says because it can never return to you void, because it is QUICK and it is POWERFUL.
Thank you for having my back. Thank you for your unfailing love. Thank you for chastisment for it shows that I am regarded as a son. My prayer is that at every moment, praise and worship will always be on my lips. I will allow the things I go through to draw me closer to you because through the events of life, I see your power at work.
I love you Lord.
To everyone who reads this, my prayer for you is that you are always aware of the UNFAILING LOVE that the Lord has for you and you draw closer to Him every day. You are BLESSED and HIGHLY favoured. No matter what you go through, YOU have been EQUIPPED to face that challenge and you will come through VICTORIOUS because you are a WINNER. When you were created, He breathed His Spirit into you and that will keep you going. Everything you go THROUGH is preparation for where you are going TO, so hang in there. Your situation is temporary but your VICTORY will be permanent.
Keep PRAYING and PRAISING.
