All things working together for our GOOD! 😊

 Hallo there 😃! 

And I welcome you again to this second day of feasting at His presence! I hope and believe you had a wonderful day out of all the buzzles of life, but here I am to offer some hope through His Eternal Word.

Today, I'll share about something I have witnessed first hand, ALL THINGS WORKING TOGETHER FOR GOOD! This wonderful teaching is taken from Paul's book of Romans 8:28, " And we know that in all things God works for the good of those who love Him and have been called according to His purpose."

The verse doesn't say that God causes all things to be good. Rather, God integrates all things to work together for good in the lives of those who love Him and follow His paths. So when I picture God doing this, I form a picture in my mind, of the bad, the good, the evil, the pure, literally everything, working hand in hand for one purpose, for good, (If and only if we're following the right path in accordance to the Word of God). 

God's hand is the invisible hand operating behind the scenes of the good, bad and ugly in life. He manipulates and maneuvers the many circumstances we go through towards His intended goal. 

Honestly, I can also personally attest, I didn't expect to have gone through the dark season, in the first part of the year. If I could share my personal diary, everyone would pity me. I started 2021 at a very low key, how? Thieves broke into my house over Dec 2020 Christmas and stole my valuables, my Laptop, TV, Gas cooker and other staff I held dear. I remember just getting into my house and the first thing was damn! My TV! I went to the kitchen, the bedroom, I was so heartbroken, and confused. I broke down in tears and I was like how am I going to replace all this valuables, because I used them daily. I had no option, but to take a loan and start replacing them one by one..😓 (A mess)!

January came and went, with the annual prayer and fasting season at the beginning of the year et al. February 27 2021, I felt an urge to go and say hey to my family back in the village and we had a great time. I remember when I was leaving the following day and how my dad was so patient, and calm. He wanted us to pray together as a family as usual, but unlike this day, he made the prayer alone! Normally, when we're holding prayers as a family we all pray in turns. But this day it was all different.  My dad's prayer will remain ebbed in my heart forever. It was a passionate prayer from his depths. He escorted me to the stage later and we said our casual goodbyes, but little did I know, it was the last day to see my dear dad alive. 

March came and went. I was really connected in my spirit to my dad, (a story I will share soon), that I was sick all through, and March was worse. I visited the hospital countless times, only to be told I am okay. I didn't know my spirit was communicating something to me in a way. Anyway, on 1st of April, I talked with dad on phone and he sounded so weak, yet so calm. I had sent him some cash through Mom to get him some bone soup to refresh him, I later told mom to send me a pic of him enjoying the soup and she gladly sent me. However, he rested in Christ in the morning of April 3. A day that was the darkest day in my life. To say I miss him would be an understatement. Then May and June came, other family losses.

But God, orchestrates all things to work together for our own good. It was all the bad, that came first.

I know about so many people, going through, business loss, job loss, family loss and etc but friend, just hold on and trust in the invisible hand operating behind the scene of all the bad and ugly seasons, but behold He makes all things new. A Beauty for Ashes!

He is the unchangeable changer, the Lion of the tribe of Judah.

We cannot question His intention and will, because ours is to just have faith and believe that all things are working together for our good and for His Glory. We shall still smile, God got this!

I hope you feel encouraged and lifted!

God bless you!
