I was born with sickle cell disease.
I had Crisis after crisis, constant pain, multiple organ damage by age 28. Doctors said I wouldn’t see 35.
During one brutal episode, I prayed like never before while hooked up to morphine. The pain vanished overnight.
Follow up tests showed my hemoglobin was normal. No sickle cells. Geneticists ran every test, markers for the disease had disappeared. I haven’t had a crisis in 4 years.
My hematologist calls me the walking miracle file.
You have to believe that there is God.
My Bro/Sis, you see that thing you’ve been waiting on God for and almost thinking it would never happen, eh? very soon, much sooner than you think, It will happen. And you will come back to this particular tweet, to say “IT HAS HAPPENED.” IN JESUS’ NAME.
You are blessed !
Nothing is more powerful than walking in the love of God. Agape love is a policy, not a feeling. It is a decision to seek the highest good of everyone you associate with. It is a spirit of benevolence that cannot be conquered by the attitude of others to you. It is a decision to live an offence free life.
Agape love doesn't demand that you must be in close association with the person, but you must not think nor speak no evil of anyone.
Love never fails. The best opportunities are given to those who serve others looking to God for their reward.

The promises of God in scripture that you hear yourself speak out, you come to believe they will materialise one day in your life. However, when you start thanking God as though it were a reality in your life, you start receiving. Don't just believe it is true6 downloading it into your personal daily experience by Thanksgiving.
Everything happens on the basis of "time and chance."The race is not to the swift nor battle to the strong but by time and chance it happens"
"Time and chance" means the opportunities time presents to the person. Learn that you advance through recognition of opportunities. Don't sleep on your harvest. Not all "time" is the same. There is something the scriptures refer to as the "fullness of times." This is the condition required for what God has planned to happen.
When the lines fall unto you in pleasant places, move quickly with the tide. It grieves the Spirit when we lose such opportunities.
Jesus said of Jerusalem, "They knew not the time of their visitation"
When it comes to "grey" areas where there is no explicit written commandment of God on the issue, everyone must seek personal guidance and act according to their inner persuasion, and there are grey areas. Paul, the Apostle, alluded to this.
1 Corinthians 7:25
"Now concerning virgins I have no commandment of the Lord: yet I give my judgment, as one that hath obtained mercy of the Lord to be faithful"
God allows people to make different judgement calls according to their level in the faith.
Rom 14: 5
" One man esteemeth one day above another: another esteemeth every day alike. Let every man be fully persuaded in his own mind."
Here lies the test. We must avoid a sense of superiority even if we think we have deeper insight into matters of scripture. A sense of superiority manifests itself in a condescending "look."
Two things God doesn't like, a spirit that despises others based on their personal convictions in the context of it being a grey area with no clearly defined scriptural position. He also takes no pleasure in a judgemental attitude.
Romans 14:3
"Let not him that eateth despise him that eateth not; and let not him which eateth not judge him that eateth: for God hath received him."
What will be sinful in such situations will be to allow yourself to be so influenced by people such that you deny your deepest convictions trading it for human acceptance.
Romans 14:22-23
22 Hast thou faith? have it to thyself before God. Happy is he that condemneth not himself in that thing which he alloweth.
23 And he that doubteth is damned if he eat, because he eateth not of faith: for whatsoever is not of faith is sin.
