Psalm 40, 103 and 118. In fact, the whole beautiful and lovely book of Psalms, such comforting and meaningful songs, not forgetting such encouraging and spirit lifting Beatitudes (Matthew 5:1-12). Yah, there is a beautiful Psalm entitled “While I’m waiting.” I would love to quote, “Trust and obey in His Unfailing Love for there is no other way.” Dear fellow beloved, let us continue to remain conscious of “His Unceasing Grace and Unconditional Love” upon us. God the Creator of the heavens and earth, the Alpha and Omega, the First and the Last, the Beginning and the End. The Creator of visible and invisible world, living and non-living things, male and female. He knows when we rejoice and when we weep, our likes and dislikes, everything indeed. So, continue to be aware of His Omnipotence, Omnipresence and Omniscience.
I would love to jot down Genesis 50:20 and tell a word to my tragic accident, “You intended to harm me, but God intended for good to accomplish what is being done.” “The beginning of the story seems really pathetic, but the ending was truly fantastic because God the author of life was the author of the story.” As Bethel was a place so special to Jacob so is Bethel Medical Centre to me, sounds interesting right, dear fellow beloved?
William Carey: Attempt great things for God, expect great things from God. God dares you to ask big request. “Everything is possible for him who believes” (Mark 9:23). Accidents are just incidents in God’s good plan for you. Rick Warren: PBP,GINFWMY (Please Be Patient, God Is Not Finished With Me Yet). When Satan points out your weaknesses, agree with him and fill your heart with praise for Jesus, who understands every weakness of ours and for the Holy Spirit, who help us in our weakness.Well! I can confidently say; Christianity is so Great because we believe in Great God, we have Great Counselor (Holy Spirit) to comfort us when we are really and really down with no hope, not forgetting the Word of God which is truly and truly Great (BIBLE:- Basic Instructions Before Leaving Earth).
Dear fellow beloved, I’m so much impressed by the stories of these eight beloved that I feel like sharing with you all. Here the stories goes . . . Jacob: As a person was Arch- deceiver and Arch: manipulator, as a son was not much favored by his own father but was mummy’s boy, as a husband loved his beloved Rachel but not Leah, as a father was partial between Joseph and his brothers, after all Joseph being the first born of his beloved Rachel, yet still he was Israel meaning “Prince of God,” not forgetting believers pray God of Abraham, Isaac and Jacob. Yes, Joseph gained family right from Reuben (his elder brother) because his elder brother defiled his father’s marriage bed (1 Chronicles 5:1). Judah was a Hypocrite but there is a Psalm entitled “Lion of Judah.” Moses had weak temper but turned into the humblest man on earth. Gideon had low self-esteem but became mighty man of valor. Adulterer David turned into “A man after God’s own heart.” Peter who denied of knowing his leader (Christ) for three times yet is still called the Rock. Arrogant John son of thunder became Apostle of love. Lastly, but not the least Paul: A persecutor and killer of any Christian if he came across but became Wonderful Apostle of Christ and was ready to live and die for this Christ whom he hated so much once upon a time. “God can really turn evil into good, He truly turn ashes into His beauty.”
I simply love R.T Kendall’s quote, “I’ve good news for you: Heaven will be populated with Jacobs, with Davids, with failures because everybody in heaven will have one thing in common- they don’t deserve to be there. There will be only one person who deserve to be there- Jesus.” I would love to thank respected Sir Kedo Peseyie Pastor, City Church for giving me such encouraging book while you were our Chaplain and I in the College. Sir, I still remember your generous words “A man so simple yet nothing to be wasted” told me “You can keep it with you” as I headed toward him to return the book. What convinced me was, “Abba, Father was very much sure that His beloved will need it desperately someday.” A soft spoken man who was always there for us whenever needed, at times situation around makes us worry but he was always there to calm us down. He was not only our Chaplain, but a dear brother and a wonderful friend as well. Man of Humility, a highly respected personality, his simplicity means so much. Never in hurry but just COOL (Character Originality Optimism Legacy). If anything goes wrong just smile and say “It’s okay, worry not.” A good listener and a fantastic leader was Sir Kedo. It was simply Wow working under his guidance.” Kudos te Sir.”
