TO SAVE A LIFE !

I thank my God for His promises and pruning in my life. It's because of His promises that I am joyful in hope, patient in affliction and faithful in prayer and expectant while I await His response to every phone call, voice mail, email, fax message, sms and whatever communication I have had with the eternal KING of all creations and creatures both in heaven and earth, beneath the earth and even of things to come. Amen! And it's because of His pruning that I see the growth and in-depth fortification in every areas of my life and my relationship with the people He brings into my life every given moment.

Dear prayer partners and financial supporters, I love you all and I am so grateful for every ounce of compassion you have invested in praying for me through the mighty power of the Holy Spirit our senior partner in our journey as foreigners here in this soon passing world. Also, I thank all of those individuals who have invested their precious cents and gifts into my life because they believe in what God has called me to accomplish and see me through the very eyes of God's eternal and pre-designed intentions. I am so proud of you all. Please, do not faint and do not be weary in well doing for you shall reap your reward here on earth and in eternity if you faint not.

I praise God for keeping me alive and yes, Christmas is not far from our door knobs:) I must say that; I have grown so much since I started this blog site and God is never moved by my tears or cheers :) Indeed, He loves to see me rejoice and cry out to Him whenever life hurts. But He is always moved by my complete obedience and submission to Him alone and always! I had a whole lot of frustrated and complaining moments even when I know the Bible commands that I shouldn't worry, grumble, or complain. Yet, it's in those moments that I realize that God sure do know how weak I am and when I admit that I am weak and I don't think I understand and can't handle this anymore, that He comes through with me through the ragging waters and fiery tunnel of life's afflictions. A lot of issues that bothers any person in a foreign land had the best of me and made me tick, think and just felt burdened and almost hopeless but not totally hopeless for Christ in us is the hope we have to sail through His suffering and share in His glory. Hallelujah!!! God will not always make sense but it will always be clear that HE NEVER SLEPT ON THE JOB AND ALLOWED THINGS TO GO WRONG AND CHAOTIC IN OUR VERY LIVES AND THE LIVES OF THOSE WE LOVE AND IN THIS PRESENT WORLD THAT WE LIVE IN AS FOREIGNERS. A new name I got for God this past week is: “GOD OF THE FOREIGNER IN A FOREIGN LAND”. I came to the point where the Immigrations and whatever delays that my VISA status is facing didn't matter anymore. I stopped worrying over VISA extension cancellation , and deportation if nothing happens before I complete my training here in South Africa. I cease the numerous nagging thoughts of the comforts I once enjoyed and still desire to opt out and go enjoy in my home country. Also, it became clearer to me that: FOR ME TO SAVE A LIFE, I MUST FIRST BE WILLING TO LAY DOWN MY LIFE FOR OTHERS. SOMETHINGS WE GO THROUGH IN LIFE, MAY NOT BE FOR US BUT FOR THE GOOD OF THOSE GOD HAS CREATED US TO DIE FOR, SUFFER FOR, AND INVEST IN FOR HIS OWN GLORY AND ETERNAL PLAN.

Wow! God is truly amazing and smarter than I am. He thinks ahead and knows what I don't know that I need to know in other to accomplish His dreams for my life here on earth. There is so much more God has done in me and through me but this one page update will not be enough for me so I have to make it short so that those of you who don't like reading for too long will want to come back to my blog and read again and again and again.

I want to thank Mrs. Christine Pike, Mrs. Mimi Oleofse, Mrs. Ingrid Yvonne Johnson, Miss Natasha Smith, Miss Julia Hauch, Miss Jessica Dys, Mr. Kayode Bolaji, Mr. Daniel Abrahams, Ms. Bruno Luiz Rodrighero, Ms. Andrew Abechi and many more who saw me through God's eyes by encouraging me, understanding me, and upholding me in fervent intercessions. Thanks to you if I didn’t mention your name :)

Die Here is jou krag ( the Lord is your strength)
