Knowing What You Have in Christ

From time to time, I work at corporate events for this particular agency. I've noticed I haven't received job offers for quite a while by email or on my profile and I wondered why. I decided to email them to ask them why I was no longer receiving job offers.  I received an immediate response to let me know there were lots of job offers, but I wasn't applying for them. They said if I wasn't seeing the jobs, I should get help from the company that runs the staffing software. Long story short, I discovered since they updated that software, the jobs are being posted on a different tab. That's why I couldn't see the job offers as I was looking in the wrong place.  I was able to book a job which was instantly confirmed. It got me thinking of our Christian faith.  I believe God has already given His children all they need in Jesus Christ.  However, if you don't know what you already have in Christ, you're not going to be able to receive them. Thank you, God, fo...

God’s Health Service

People are constantly complaining about how the national health service is broken beyond repair.  That's why it now takes ages to see a doctor or be referred to see a specialist. You only have emergency treatment if your need is considered urgent. I beg to differ.   As I see it, the national health service is not broken, it's simply a man-made system with limited resources that is trying to take care of too many people dependent on it. Hence the long waiting list. For instance, my flatmate was telling me she has been waiting for months to have a referral to see a specialist for an issue. She said her friend has also been waiting a long time to have an eye operation.  I told her in traffic all cars have to give way to ambulances, fire engines and police cars with their sirens on.  Where there is no emergency, those vehicles have to follow the traffic like everyone else. I said when you pray, your need is like an emergency vehicle with a siren on and you jump the ...

Styling Gel

I was thinking of getting a new styling gel as the one I was using was not giving me the hold I prefer.   I searched online and noticed a few products that looked promising. There were also lots of video clips, but I didn't fancy sitting through them.   God will show me the right product. I then got ready for work. I decided to travel on the early train. After that I got on the tube. I immediately noticed this passenger with short afro hair.  I loved the texture of her hair.  I had an idea to ask her what product she was using.  When the passenger sitting next to her got off, I moved and sat on the seat. I told the woman I loved her hair texture and asked her what product she waa using on her hair. She looked up the product on her phone and showed it to me. I  took a photo of the product and then thanked her. I realised it was one of the products I had seen when I had done my research. After work, I stopped off at this store that sells afro hair p...

God Will Provide

In a video I watched recently, the pastor talks about four ways God provides for His people: man's hands, God's Hand, your hands and your enemy's hands. (See link bekow). I shared the video on Facebook and with a few of my Christian friends.  One friend texted me back to let me know that it was exactly what she needed to hear.  A few minutes later, another old friend (non-Christian), who I haven't seen in a while, texted me and asked if I fancied attending this art exhibition with him. I told him I would love to, but I was working that evening and wasn't sure I could fit it in.  He assured me I would have more than enough time to see the exhibition and go to work. Later, my friend texted me to let me know the tickets were sold out.  I told him it was fine. I knew if the blessing was from God, He will make it work. My friend was able to book tickets for a day that I was off. Today was the day.  Although the exhibition wasn't to our liking, I was glad to be able t...

Thinking of My Mum

On this day in 2014, the person I loved the most in the world, aka Isa, went to Heaven to be with our Beloved Saviour, Jesus Christ. Thank you for agreeing to play the role of our mum. Love you forever. ❤️

God is Love

This morning, it was raining cats and dogs.  When I arrived at the platform to wait for the train, I asked this young woman if she could remove her umbrella from the seat next ro her as I needed to sit down. When she did, I noticed the seat was wet. I pointed out to her that her umbrella had made the seat wet. "Don't come to me with your negative attitude," she said. "Move along!" "Putting a wet umbrella on a seat shows a lack of consideration for others," I said. "I don't care!" she said. I moved on and found a dry seat further down the platform in the shelter. Although I was feeling angry by the girl's attitude, I was inspired to let go of the anger and bless her with love.  On the way back from work, I travelled on the tube. When I got on the second tube, it was a mad dash to get to the last seat on the carriage.  Although I won that race, I let the woman have the seat. Suddenly, I felt someone nudging my back. When I turned round,...

I Come from God

While I was having a banter with this guy I was working with, he asked me where I was from. "What do you mean?" I said. "Where did you originate from?" "I come from God," I said. "I like that answer," he said. "It's the truth," I said. "I'm a Christian and I come from God." He smiled and walked away. If you want to get to know me, all you need to know is I am a child of the Living God. ❤️  ----- Relevant Bible verses: "But as many as received Him, to them He gave the right to become children of God, to those who believe in His name: who were born, not of blood, nor of the will of the flesh, nor of the will of man, but of God." John 1: 12-13 "Jesus answered, “Most assuredly, I say to you, unless one is born of water and the Spirit, he cannot enter the kingdom of God. That which is born of the flesh is flesh, and that which is born of the Spirit is spirit." John 3: 5-6 "Therefore, from now on, we...
