All my life, I’ve been preparing.

Honestly, I love being in control. After I graduated, I knew exactly what I wanted next in my academic life and threw in some investments to ensure I was lucrative. But then as we say, life happened, I had no school fees. I was upset, disappointed and for a long time discouraged because I wondered what next. Little did I know that the frustrations were louder than the voice of the Holy Spirit and what He desired for my life.

I decided in that moment, I would have to work with Christ, more closely than I had done. So I got a hold of Matthew 11:28 where Christ invites everyone to lay all kinds of burdens to Him in exchange for rest. If I’m correct for someone to be eased of a burden, they put it down and leave it there 🙂 No need to repeat, complain and grumble because you have given the burden, receive the peace of God. It wasn’t easy for me but the less I complained  about one thing or the other, the more I could focus on Christ’s peace.

For the mountains shall depart, and the hills be removed; but my kindness shall not depart from thee, neither shall my covenant of peace be removed, saith the Lord that has mercy on thee. 

Isaiah 54:10

I’m testifying today that from the time I decided to walk more closely with God, I literally feel more energetic, more positive, joyful and grateful to Him. It doesn’t mean there are no obstacles in my way, it means I now have the muscle, because when I raise my hands and worship, when I kneel to pray, when I mention His name, God always comes through for me.

If God is for me, who can stand against me?

If God is for me, then whom shall I fear?
