Valentine Gift

A very long time ago, well, about 11 years ago, February 14th 1997, I received a red paper cut in a heart shape from someone very dear to me. It was my valentine gift – I loved it.
Sitting down in my office, for some reason I remembered that heart and I still love it. My friend took time to cut out a paper in the shape of a heart signifying an undying love for me and he meant it and even after so many years I remember and it has been my best valentine gift so far…. I can also bet you that if he could, he would have given me his heart…….okay, enough of this love graphic stuff….

What am I getting at? Imagine how the love of God is…. He gave us Jesus Christ, HIS only son – a big sacrifice – If we receive this gift from God, that is Jesus (love), we’ll forever remember this and we’ll be blessed.

If I can still remember that paper heart gift even after 10 years and could still smile, knowing fully well my friend gave me the gift genuinely, how much more the love of God through Jesus Christ.
It is indescribable and it cannot be fathomed.
It is real yet irreplaceable.

Give God a chance and things will work out and guess what?
Our little secret…..just the way I smiled when I remembered the gift, and especially “the person”, which made me feel good, you will also smile and feel great about God’s love whatever the situation or circumstance, forever….

Give God a chance, love is real…..when you accept love, you can also give love and this world will be a better place.

This is from me to someone there that needs love x.

God Still Loves You

Have you done something very very bad?
God still loves you.
Have you killed someone in any form?
God still loves you.
Are you on drugs? Getting high at your convenience?
God still loves you.
Do you constantly bear false witness against your neighbours?
God still loves you.
Do you hate your sibling's children?
God still loves you.
Do you beat your wife and children violently?
God still loves you
Do you disrespect and plan evil against your husband?
God still loves you
Do you hate your mother–in-law?
God still loves you
Did you step on someone’s toe to get that promotion at work?
God still loves you
Did you steal the money you used in buying that house or car you boast of?
God still loves you
Are you fraudulent in your ways?
God still loves you
Do you bring strife wherever you go?
God still loves you
Do you curse and use swear words?
God still loves you
Do you get angry for no apparent reason leading to crime?
God still loves you
Do you hear voices that prompt you to do evil?

We are all human beings and at one time in our lives we have done terrible things, yet we still feel guilty about it. We are all human beings and at one time in our lives we have had someone do terrible things to us, yet we still hate the person(s).

God is asking me to tell you now that HE STILL LOVES YOU, irrespective of what you’ve done. And guess what? HE STILL LOVES THAT PERSON that did something terrible to you.

Please let go, ask God to forgive you and know that there is abundant grace and mercy, if you sincerely promise not to do it again. (It might be difficult to stop, but God is willing to help you….allow HIM). Please let go and forgive that person or persons, let God be the Judge, for there is abundant grace and mercy for that person also.

God is real and He wants a relationship….HE STILL LOVES YOU SO……

Let Me Introduce You To...

What’s happening outside the city today? I hear drums, tambourines, trumpets, and a shophar? I see red carpets, a huge crowd of dancers and even an announcer? What’s he saying? Royalty is coming? Who’s this royal one? I see them approaching the gates of the city. It seems the guard is a little confused as to who this royal one is and he’s not opening up the city gates to let him in. Wait!

There’s a conversation between the announcer and the guard, listen;


Announcer: ‘Lift up your heads, O ye gates; and be ye lifted up, ye everlasting doors; and the King of glory shall come in.

Guard: Who is this King of glory?

Announcer: The LORD strong and mighty, the LORD mighty in battle. Lift up your heads, O ye gates; even lift them up, ye everlasting doors; and the King of glory shall come in.

Guard: Again! Who is this King of glory?

Announcer: Who is the king of Glory?! Let me introduce you to Him;
He is the uncreated creator, the One who uses the heavens as His throne and the earth as His footstool. The One who uses the skies as a blanket, and holds the waters of the world in the hollow of His hand. The One who set a band as a boundary for the sees and said to them, ‘you shall come thus far and no further’. The One whose finger is the axis on which the universe sits.
He is the One who speaks and the trees stand tall in reverence, their leaves bow before him. When the seas hear His voice, their waves rise up together in humble adoration, they crash to the seabed, bowing before the Almighty. The One whose wings span the universe. The One who wears fire as a gown. He is the man of war, the God of war. THE LION OF THE TRIBE OF JUDAH is His name. The King of kings, the Lord of Lords, the Lilly of the valley the bright and morning Star. The One for whom time stands still, He rewinds and fast forwards time at His will, because He is time. He has no beginning and there is no end to Him. He is the Alpha and Omega, the beginning and the end and all that is in between. Ancient of days is His name.

Shall I continue? He is the I AM, the I Am that I AM. The One with so many names that you can have one for each day of the year and still have more names left over to call Him. He is the Sovereign One, the unchangeable changer and the unsearchable finder. The One whose Spirit is in your nostrils, without Him you are non-existent. The one in whom you live and move and have your being. He is the Big God, the awesome God, and the only true God. The One who has numbered every hair on your head, the one who loves you so much, that he sent his only Son, Christ, to die for you. The One whose spirit quickened up Christ from the dead on the third day, that you might have abundant life forever. He is the God that speaks and doesn’t change his mind. The words of His mouth do not fall to the ground void, they must be accomplished. With the words of His mouth the worlds were formed and with His hands he shaped Man. He is the one who RULES IN THE AFFAIRS OF MAN, the heart of the kings are in His hands.

I could go on and on and you’d still be in awe. So, to answer your question, THE LORD OF HOSTS, HE IS THE KING OF GLORY.

Immediately! the guard opened up the gates and bowed before the King of kings. As soon as the King stepped into the city, everyone bowed, even the winds whispered His name, the palm trees waved in honour of the exalted One. The whole city rejoiced in the presence of this King. Let the King of glory into your hearts today, let I Am step into your situation and watch all your problems crumble away. Let Him bring joy into your life, as He did the city. Don’t live Him at the gates, LET THE KING OF GLORY IN TODAY.

Joy Will Come

How‘re u doing? Why are you feeling down as though there is no tomorrow? Why are you disappointed? Why are you angry? Why do you have vengeance in you? Why are you biting yourself for the mistake you made? Why do you feel all hope is gone? Why are you giving in to that circumstance? Why are you willing to compromise for what you know is wrong? Won’t it put you in trouble? Why are you selling yourself short of the standard God wants for you.

My friend, I’ve been through all these and I fell into the trap… I have come to tell you that you are special, you are beautiful, you are handsome, you are a loving person, you are a compassionate person so please don’t fall into that trap…

Since you have life there is hope. Weeping endures in the night but joy will surely come in the morning. Just as there will be morning and night, your victory is sure. The joy of the Lord is your strength, look, it is well, close your eyes, relax and be calm… feel the breeze, allow God to move into you and feel HIS love….that is healing… in your soul. I love you, but guess who loves you more? Jesus.

Peace to you. Remember, with God all things are possible.

LETTER FROM GOD - Are You Armed?



Dear Child,

How are you today? I can see that you are feeling tired and worn out already. You feel that you cannot run the race any longer, but the race is not finished yet. Don't feel tired, there is still quite a way to go. There is one thing that I always remind you to do everyday which you keep forgetting to do. You always forget because you are too much in a hurry to get on with the rest of the day but the rest of the day may not go well if you do not put on your whole armour. I would encourage you to take a few minutes everyday to put on your whole armour just like you put on your clothes. I have given you the armour for your protection so that when the enemy comes to attack, you will be able to defend yourself. I placed the armour there to protect and shield you but if you keep forgetting to wear it, you will be open to attack and you will not be able to defend yourself when the enemy comes against you. Please child, do not leave yourself open to attack, always put on your whole armour of God. It is the armour that helps you to withstand the attacks of the enemy. Put on the whole armour today my dear child and stand therefore.

What is the whole armour? You ask

The whole armour is:

  1. Helmet of salvation
  2. Breastplate of righteousness
  3. The shield of faith
  4. The Girdle of Truth
  5. Your feet shod with the preparation of the gospel of peace
  6. The sword of the Spirit
