Good Morning Everyone! Allow me to share my experience just this morning 😊

I am currently employed in a private school institution and decided to resign and will be reporting until July this year. I have been passing resumes and application letters to multiple company's that are hiring through Gmail accounts. Then last night I started to be discourage since of all the company's I've reach out I never received any reply or feedback from them.

I started to doubt my self. Last night I feel that I can't make it, I was so positive that I will be able to get another job without compromising the sabbath day but last night was a different story, I feel down, broke and doubting my self, my capabilities and worried. I slept with a heavy heart.

Then just this morning while on my way going to work, I seen my aunt and she asked me when will be my last day in the school then I said July, after few conversation she said, "try and try coz one day you'll get hired"

As I arrived here in the office, I scan the book "Sons and daughters of God" then right before my eyes I have read this found on page 322 of the book it says "When you make up your mind to do something in which your heart is set, you do not give up for difficulties but try again and again"  and then, on page 325 "The Lord Jesus will never leave nor forsake one humble trembling soul."

You know what? One thing I realize today. 
God is always in us, when we are discourage, lonely, sad, broken, struggling, when we are in pain God gives us comfort. We should never give up. We should trust Him. 
Entrust to Him all our plans and Let God do the rest. ❤

…IS THE LAST THAT WILL BE GIVEN TO THE CHURCH….

Jovan KizzaSermonDec 7, 2021

Revelation 18 points to the time when, as the result of rejecting the threefold warning of Revelation 14:6-12, the church will have fully reached the condition foretold by the second angel, and the people of God still in Babylon will be called upon to separate from her communion. This message is the last that will ever be given to the world; and it will accomplish its work. When those that “believed not the truth, but had pleasure in unrighteousness” (2 Thessalonians 2:12), shall be left to receive strong delusion and to believe a lie, then the light of truth will...

It Is Well With My Soul

Horatio Spafford was a successful lawyer and real estate investor living in Chicago in the 1800’s. He and his wife, Anna, were close supporters of Dwight L. Moody, the famous evangelist headquartered in Chicago. The Spaffords had 4 daughters and a son named Horatio Jr. The first tragedy to befall them was the death of their son at age 4 of Scarlet Fever (1870). A year later, in 1871, the great Chicago fire killed hundreds and left more than 90,000 homeless. Spafford had invested heavily in Chicago properties that literally went up in smoke. Still he and his wife focused on helping out others who had suffered loss in the fire.

The Spaffords decided to take a break from all that had happened so they planned a vacation to Europe. Just before leaving for New York to sail to Europe, Horatio was detained by business dealings, and decided to send Anna and the 4 girls on promising to join them as soon as possible. The French ship they were travelling on, “Ville de Havre” was struck by another ship near the middle of their journey and sunk in only 12 minutes. All four daughters died, but Anna was found alive and unconscious hanging to a broken spar that was floating adrift. Of the 307 passengers 226 drowned leaving about 90 passengers and crew to be rescued. Another survivor, Pastor Weiss, quoted Anna as saying, “God gave me 4 daughters. Now they have been taken from me. Some day I will understand why.”

When Anna reached Cardiff she wired her husband the following message dated Dec. 1, 1873: “Saved alone. What shall I do? Mrs. Goodwin, children, Willie Culver lost. Upon receiving the wire, Horatio sought passage on the next available ship to join his grieving wife and bring her home. On that voyage, the ships captain summond Horatio to inform him that according to his coordinates they were passing over the exact spot where his daughters had drowned. Heartsick, Spafford returned to his cabin and with pen in hand poured out his heart to God.

When Peace like a river, attendeth my way,

When sorrows like sea billows roll;

What ever my lot, Thou hast taught me to say,

It is well, it is well with my soul.

In ways that only the Lord can do, the Holy Spirit begin to minister peace and strength to his troubled soul. In reading these lyrics you can see his faith taking wings and the reality of the Lord’s presence even in his pain. Writing to his wife’s sister while on the ship, he wrote, “On Thursday last we passed over the spot where she went down, in mid ocean, the waters three miles deep. But I do not think of our dear ones there. They are safe, folded, the dear lambs.”

The Spaffords had three other children, two of whom, Bertha and Grace, survived. In 1881 they moved to Jerusalem and established what became known as the “American Colony,” a mission to the poor which did much outreach during World War I. Horatio Spafford died of malaria in Jerusalem on Oct. 16, 1888, just four days short of his 60th birthday. Before he died Horatio wrote “I rely exclusively, exclusively on the power and grace of God in Christ. I am a miracle of grace! Blessed God, how patient thou hast been with me!”

Though the story swirling around this beloved hymn tell of tragedy and loss, the comfort that shines from this beloved hymn reveals that God has the ability to transform tragedy into powerful comfort and blessing. We are reminded of Paul’s admonition in 2 Corinthians 1:3-7 (NIV)

Conclusion: Given the opportunity to make a choice, not a one of us would ever choose the crucible of suffering, tragedy, or loss, but Paul had learned from what he suffered, that it is God himself who comforts us in our troubles and passes on to us and through us the ministry of comfort thus enabling us to become comforters of others. In the midst of Horatio Spafford’s pain and loss, came the resonant song that has comforted millions of believers through the years. How a man can write, through the tears of his own loss, “It is well with my soul,” is a testimony to the powerful comfort God’s holy spirit can bring even in the middle of a hard moment in life. No one would wish for the tragedy Spafford suffered, but the testimony of his life gives a practical underpinning to the powerful words of the song he wrote "it is well, it is well with my soul.”

Anger is an erroneous zone, a kind of psychological influenza that incapacitates you as a physical disease would... Anger is a choice, as well as a habit. It is a learned reaction to frustration, in which you behave in ways that you would rather not. In fact, severe anger is a form of insanity - Wayne W. Dyer

He who goes to bed angry has the devil for a bedfellow. - Old Latin

Anger is an acid that can do more harm to the vessel in which it's stored than to anything on which it's poured. - News Press

God’s Word! Scripture points us to the danger and foolishness of anger, but it also directs us with Bible verses about peace, Bible verses about stress, and Bible verses about perseverance. And not all anger is bad. Jesus got angry, but angry for the right reasons: the things that dishonored God and people taking advantage of others.

Let's take a deep look what the Bible said about anger.

"Refrain from anger, and forsake wrath! Fret not yourself; it tends only to evil." - Psalm 37:8

"Whoever is slow to anger has great understanding, but he who has a hasty temper exalts folly." - Proverbs 14:29

"A soft answer turns away wrath, but a harsh word stirs up anger." - 
Proverbs 15:1

"A hot-tempered man stirs up strife, but he who is slow to anger quiets contention." - Proverbs 15:18

"Be not quick in your spirit to become angry, for anger lodges in the heart of fools. - Ecclesiastes 7:9

"Be angry and do not sin; do not let the sun go down on your anger..." - Ephesians 4:26

"Let all bitterness and wrath and anger and clamor and slander be put away from you, along with all malice." - Ephesians 4:31

"Fathers, do not provoke your children to anger, but bring them up in the discipline and instruction of the Lord." - Ephesians 6:4

"But now you must put them all away: anger, wrath, malice, slander, and obscene talk from your mouth." - Colossians 3:8

"I desire then that in every place the men should pray, lifting holy hands without anger or quarreling..." - 1 Timothy 2:8

"Know this, my beloved brothers: let every person be quick to hear, slow to speak, slow to anger..." - James 1:19

"...for the anger of man does not produce the righteousness of God." - James 1:20

Don’t date because of money

Dear sisters, if you have a man who loves you and cares about you with the little he has, appreciate it and be content with it. Stop getting into relationships because you have a lot of demands and wants and you want your man to take care of them all. You should stop making your man a goldmine or consider him as your father that he has to take care of everything of all his Daughter's Needs. Your man also has a life to live and his own demands to fulfill.
.
In addition to that, also stop getting into relationships with high expectations. High expectations will kill you and you will get disappointed for nothing. If you are with someone and they are unable to provide everything you want yet you adore them, then find a job and cater for yourself. If you can’t find a job or you are handicapped then walk out of the relationship instead of cheating and find someone capable or an organization for disabled people to support you. Otherwise cease getting into relationships and marriages for wrong reasons.
.
Money can’t buy love and happiness. If it did then rich people wouldn't have been single, they wouldn’t have been crying for love and they wouldn’t have been divorcing every now and then. Money just sustains life but it can’t complete everything!

The power of “I am sorry”

*I am sorry,* a short but mighty sentence!
If you wish to live long, don't joke with this short sentence, *I am sorry.*
Do you know how many people who had gone to early grave because they neglected the therapeutic power of *I am sorry.*
Single sorry can stop a war, and prevents millions of men, women including children from dying!
Most of the troubles in most homes are heightened because wives are too big to say *I am sorry* to their husbands and you can trust the ego of husbands in saying same to their wives.
Quarrel lingers between friends because no party wants to say *I am sorry.* Each says or asks, why should I be the first to say *I am sorry?* He or she would beat his or her chest and utter the ego phrase, *a whole me!*
Ladies and gentlemen, welcome to the part of the world where saying *I am sorry* is a hard nut to crack while curses are easily unleashed.
Welcome to the part of the world where people refer to a person who says *I am sorry* in a midst of a rift as a *weaker sex*: one who is not man enough; one who is foolish.
Welcome to Africa where saying *I am sorry* is tougher than forcing a donkey to pass through a needle hole.
All of us are victims of this discussion. We have lost valuable assets, money and even lives because of this cheap and affordable sentence *I am sorry.* It simply cost only a breath of speech.
Have you ever wondered why domestic violence is less pronounced in the western world? It is simply because they understand the efficacy of *I am sorry.*
Husbands say it to their wives and even children whenever they err, wives and children do the same and life goes on fine.
Friends, this is simply a piece to encourage us to cultivate a habit of saying *I am sorry.* It is difficult but readily affordable.
Learn how to say *I AM SORRY* even if you are right.
If this message offends you in one way or the other, *I am sorry*
Accept my apologies.

Just A Little Mistake

One night, before a shopkeeper closed for the day, a dog came into the shop, having a bag in its mouth. The bag had a list of items to be bought and money so the shopkeeper took the money and put the items in the bag. Immediately, The dog picked up the bag of items and left. The shopkeeper was surprised and went behind the dog to see who the owner was.The dog waited at the bus stop.

After sometime, a bus came and the dog got onto the bus. As soon as the conductor came, it moved forward to show his neck belt which had money and the address as well. The conductor took the money and put the ticket in his neck belt again.

When it reached its destination, the dog went to the front and wagged his tail indicating that he wanted to get down. The moment the bus stopped, it got down. The shopkeeper was still following it. The dog knocked on the door of a house with its legs. Its owner came from inside and beat it with a stick.

The shocked shopkeeper asked him "why are you beating the dog?", to which the owner replied, "he disturbed my sleep. It could have taken the keys with it."

This is the truth of life. There is no end to the expectations people have from you. The moment you go wrong, they start pointing at your mistakes.

All the good done in the past is quickly forgotten. Any small mistake committed gets magnified. You can do 100 things for people but once you make a small mistake they forget all that you have done for them. They capitalize on your little mistake and hold it against you whereas they themselves ain't perfect.

The owner of the dog had no idea of what his dog went through to get those items yet instead of appreciating it he beat the dog.

Most people have no idea what you have gone through in life to make them happy or please them but at the end of it all, instead of them appreciating you or complementing you they end up looking for faults and mistakes from you just to discredit you. This is the kind of society we live in...

To all those who can relate to this story, may God bless you and may you find a fulfilling life as God unlocks opportunities for you.
