Nothing but the blood of Jesus🎶
This hymn has been on my mind, since the day I decided to talk about how God helped through a particular phase in life. I'm about to shock you with what I'm about to say, trust me! I have never spoken about it to anyone apart from family. But I feel it's still on my mind because of someone or a reason. The only reason I haven't talked about it seeing that I should, is because I know there was no way I was going to talk about that part of my life out without including Jesus! Because it was all him. Oh please don't judge me! I didn't know what was appropriate and I'm even disappointed in myself that I thought that way! Well, I'm ready to stand with what I believe in, regardless of what others think.
“God is able to do what no man can imagine or do.”
Unlike most people, childhood was a roller coaster for me because I was a bed wetter. Yea that's damn weird and embarrassing, but it's the truth. Bed wetting could be normal for kids though, but it became worrisome when I was the only one still bed wetting, when I'm even the first child. Imagine! Trust me, my parents thought it was a sickness or a disorder and so I was taken to the hospital. I went for a lot of tests but there was nothing. I started studying on chiropractic because I thought it could have been the reason, if you know what chiropractic means you would understand. Oh well! It wasn't that either. I started taking pills, and the normal prescription for those pills were weekly. A dosage was supposed to keep me off bed wetting for up to a week. But in my case, it was working if I took it daily. I had to stop when it was becoming too excess, yet my bed wetting didn't stop permanently. My grandma also did herbs treatment for me, but nothing changed either. I think at that point we all got tired and the only thing left were prayers.
“Whenever you want to doubt God's existence, look at my life"
I was watching an Holy Ghost Service program (a program conducted every first Friday of the month at the Redemption Camp) on a very special day. During the testimony hour, a lady came up and said she had been bed wetting for over 18 years and that by God's grace she had been healed. Oh wow! I was amazed and my faith was renewed. But I hoped that I wouldn't stay that long. I started praying a lot. Damn! Those times were really terrible for me. I couldn't even stay over at any relation's place. I was even too scared to sleep well at night. I was so ashamed and those times were really depressing. Crying most of the time was like a routine for me😂. There were times I doubted God, there were times my faith was renewed as well and there were times I felt like I had no other choice than to cling to him. Looking back now, all I can say is God is good all the time.
“The pain you have been feeling can't compare to the joy that is coming.” – Romans 8:18. ~ My favourite scripture.
“What God has done for me is worthy of everlasting and thankful memory." Honestly, I can explain how it happened, because I don't understand either. I didn't even realized I had stopped, until later. He did it! Those times when I pray, I just do it because I felt, it was just an option. I didn't know what I believed in, I couldn't tell if he was listening to my prayers. But it turned out that he was, he was there all along listening to all my prayers. He gave me peace, he gave me hope and he added joy to that package. I have known what it means to be hopeless, and restless. And trust me, having inner peace is worth every other thing you can think of. When I got healed, I tasted peace of mind. I can't really explain what it means to sleep without having to wake up to a bed, that's wet! But I think that's peace of mind! Thank God! I try to live my life with optimism now because I have realized nothing's worth your happiness and peace.
“God's not dead, he is surely alive".
I decided to share this really sensitive part of me, because I have realized people go through so much and they somewhat feel lost, lonely or hopeless. I have been there before and I know for sure that you aren't alone. God is always there standing by you, listening to all your worries, and all you have to do is believe. He answers prayers! He isn't dead! Have you been feeling lost or alone? Trust God to help you. I'm not a preacher or a pastor but I can tell you straight to your face that, God can do the impossible. I have so many reasons to believe it, you should too! And remember: Weeping may last through the night but joy comes in the morning. Trust me,the morning will always come!
