One of the Testimonies That Will Remain Ever Remembered, Now Shared With you precious souls, beloved of the most high!
My Friends, You that fear the Lord and Join in the Praise with Angels as they Bow and Worship him as long as he has been, is and still will be – Revelations 4:11;
I have learnt it through and quite well, but; I haven’t arrived yet! Am still in this training which I do not know at all if it will come to an end. All my life I have seen the Hand of God guide me in every way. I have made a few mistakes that are very frustrating to the Lord but I have also done reconciliations with Lord and he has accepted me back to him.
Not by Works, It’s All His Grace
It is the grace of the Lord Jesus Christ that will save us, of course he will also consider our works.
I have come to learn today that indeed according to his word, the Lord rewards us only by his grace and not by works. If it were by works, today I would have been blessed massively because am doing things that are right my eyes – judging that what I am doing is pleasant to the Lord, and later perhaps I would be punished when I do those disgraceful things in the eyes of the most high God. We all need to understand “Rom_11:6 and if by grace, then is it no more of works: otherwise grace is no more grace. But if it be of works, then is it no more grace: otherwise work is no more work.; Eph_2:9 Not of works, lest any man should boast.” Our works 90% are all not righteous that at the end of the business day or normal activity day, if requested to give account of what good we have done on that day according to the teachings of our Lord Jesus, only 10% will be revealed to be true. Therefore, brethren; let us come together in faith and join the angels in giving thanks to our God as stated in Rev 11:17 saying: “Lord God Almighty, the one who is and who was! We thank you that you have taken your great power and have begun to rule!
The Lord God almighty deserves the glory, and the praise and the honor as long as we live. Praise him at all times.
Christianity is Not a Life Style, It is the life of Jesus we have to live not to emulate, to do as he taught!
This started in the dreams, someone stood from afar and was commanding me to stop praising the Lord & worshiping his holy name else I would see trouble in my life. And to this person saying that to me, I said; how can I stop praising the giver of my life? I will not.
During the first week of January 2013, the Lord revealed Don Moen’s Song afresh to me, http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HIj6k3yYWo0 and when I heard it this time; it was as if the song was sent anew to speak to me, but I did not understand what the song meant until I faced a few challenges that almost turned my mind upside down. This was one of the toughest times I had ever experienced in my life. {The Wife & Daughter’s permits expired and to renew them, I was charged three times more than the normal charges}, I fought of course with the help of the Lord I managed to overcome the financial situation and went ahead, 12 days later; it started raining while I had gone into the reserve doing a few monthly duties, when I received a phone call from my office that my office and the entire lodge including my households are drowned in water. I live within the Lodge premises which is located right on the river banks of the Limpopo River in South Africa. Driving wasn’t easy to get back and rescue my household as the road was muddy though I was Driving TDI Land rover. I managed after about 45 minutes to get back to camp, when I arrived; it was quite surprising, it was as if someone had opened a fire fighters hose reel and placed it on the doors of the house and offices. At this point there was nothing we could do but escape to higher land. I had found my wife and kid have been rescued by one of my colleagues and taken to my office. I rushed to my house to pick a few important belongings I could, when I got to the house; the only way to get in was by swimming, the water level in the house was going through my waist. I managed to collect only a file case that contained mine and my Family’s IDs. That was all I could get, the rest was in water!
The place being a game reserve has lots of dangerous animals including venomous snakes which we feared at this time, if one sustains a bite, they will die without help. Thank God all the venomous snakes and dangerous predators where running for their lives too. The only place we had to take refuge to, is our staff complex which is on a hill where the water could not reach.
While I was swimming in my house my colleagues were pushing my car to higher ground which wasn’t easy, thank God they are my team so dedicated and strong. I pray for them always that God may bless them mightily. What was most amazing was that, it took us 45 minutes to fight against the strength of water while we swam to rescue employees who were on duty in a range of 50 meters. Some were capsizing in Water while others swam slowly in a water depth of 2.1 meters high. We were so lucky that even though it took us time, we managed to rescue everyone and isolated our abode which we could do nothing about. It took 18hrs for the water levels to go low. During this time, my household praised & thank God for his grace that saved every soul.
Properties I had worked for, for the past 15 years including academic qualifications and Study resources, disappeared in 18hrs. Today I remain empty with nothing to show that I have anymore.
The Miracle still remain today, no life was lost; all the material gain will take you nowhere as they can go anytime. Yet the Lord will never leave you by yourself. He will save you with your family and take care of you in any situation that may come. I am so thankful to God today because he alone promised to be with me, to see me through all this toil.
Afterwards, my feet though so big; when I entered into my house before cleaning it, could not be seen as I was fully covered in thick mud. We later killed 4 Deadly snakes black Mambas in my house during and after the cleaning – Mar 16:18 they shall take up serpents; and if they drink any deadly thing, it shall not hurt them; …
I want you to know brethren that the Lord will be with you at all times whatever the world can bring, the Lord Jesus will stand with you. Here I am today, I still remain the same; when I go into the midst of people who know me not, no one will tell what I have been through; the flood I experienced is just a dot of all the things I have seen in a short life I have so far lived. But, even today; I still boldly strand to say, the Lord as old as he is; he is what he says he is. Psa 89:34 My covenant will I not break, nor alter the thing that is gone out of my lips. Rev 3:7 … he that is holy, he that is true, he that hath the key of David, he that openeth, and no man shutteth; and shutteth, and no man openeth; Only Jesus Christ of Nazareth does what he promised.
1Co_12:6 and there are diversities of operations, but it is the same God which worketh all in all.
Eph_4:10 He that descended is the same also that ascended up far above all heavens, that he might fill all things.)
Last Word:
Heb_10:23 Let us hold fast the profession of our faith without wavering; (for he is faithful that promised 😉
NB* I have received lots of warnings that in this place
I am, I should stop worshiping the Lord. But, brethren; let me tell you. We can only receive command from the lord Jesus not those we are supposed to Command. God bless as you journey on and may he give you the grace to stand faithful to & in him. Love you all, for Christ. In Jesus Christ’s name. Amen!
