J-E-S-U-S!

A Muslim man in Egypt killed his wife because she
was reading the Bible and then buried her with their
infant baby and an 8-year old daughter.
The girls were buried alive! He then reported to the
police that an uncle killed the kids. 15 days later,
another family member died. When they went to bury
him,they found the 2 little girls under the sand -
ALIVE!

The country is outraged over the incident, and the
man will be executed.
The older girl was asked how she had survived and
she says:- "A man wearing shiny white clothes, with
bleeding wounds in his hands, came every day to feed
us. He woke up my mom so she could nurse my sister,"
she said. She was interviewed on Egyptian national
TV, by availed Muslim woman news anchor. She said on
public TV, "This was none other than Jesus, because
nobody else does thing s like this!"

Muslims believe Isa (Jesus) would do this, but the
wounds mean He really was crucified, and it's clear
also that He is alive! But, it's also clear that the
child could not make up a story like this, and there
is no way these children could have survived without
a true miracle.
With Egypt at the center of the media and education in
the Middle East , you can be sure this story will spread.
Christ is still turning the world upside down!

Please let this story be shared. The Lord says, "I
will bless the person who puts his trust in me."

What do you think of this?

No One

I whisper words about you endlessly
Mostly to myself because you make me believe
No one could ever love me like you could
There wouldn't be a day I'd be alone
And never would there be a time I didn't know
Cause no one could ever love me like you could

You have been the one who fulfills my dreams
I'll never let you go
If you stay with me
I promise you would know
Of all the times I've reached out for you
Oh, can't you see how I adore you
I couldn't spend my life without you
Please believe me I will never doubt you

You've been the one to answer all my prayers
Anytime I need you I know that you'll be there
Cause no one could ever love me like you could
I'm hoping that you'll hear these prayers of mine
I'm hoping that we'll be together for all times
Cause no one could ever love me like you could

Oh I would do anything for you
to share that place in my heart
Please let me be the one
It would mean everything
There'll be no one to keep us apart

Lyrics to No One by Cece Winans. I really love the lyrics because it just reminds me that when no one's there, God is near. He's just close enough to answer our prayers. You know how it is with people (loved ones)... when you make mistakes, some forsake you. God is not like that... he's just someone who has no restrictions. You can call on him anytime. No one can love you or me as much as he does.

P.S: I was at the studio a couple of weeks ago and I recorded No One (alicia keys) in yoruba. My crew and I were just playing around but it turned out nice. I'll share it as soon as I can.

A Must Read

A young man who had been raised as an atheist [A person for whom the idea of god is senseless] was training to be an Olympic diver. The only religious influence in his life came from his outspoken Christian friend. The young diver never really paid attention to his friend;s sermons, but he often heard them.

One night the diver went to the indoor pool at the college he attended. The lights were all off, but the pool had big skylights and the moon was bright, there was plenty of light to practice by. The young man climbed up to the highest diving board and as he turned his back to the pool on the edge of the board and extended his arms out, he saw his shadow on the wall.

The shadow of his body, was in the shape of a cross. The man felt a strange feeling, like someone was speaking to him. Instead of diving, he knelt down and finally asked God to come into his life. As the young man stood, a maintenance man walked in and turned the lights on. The pool had been drained for repairs.

Remember this story and send it to your friends. Jesus is the source of your existence. He keeps you and I functioning everyday. Without him, we're nothing. The book of Phillippians 4:13 says "I can do all things through Christ that strengthens me." You and I can do anything as long as we have the lord Jesus. If you love the lord, and are not ashamed of what he's done, send this to someone and save them from diving into a drained pool. The cross is always the last resort! Take your burdens to the lord, he'll deliver you and direct your path.

SHALOM!

Wonderful poem by a Powerful Poet

So you read the previous post and you know about the prayer water situation... my sis had an ear infection that bugged everyone in the house for a whole week. We thought it wasn't serious but it became unbearable and she was rushed to the ER in pain...After all the prescriptions and all... she was fairly relieved. I just told her to use the water mummy was sprinkling all over the house. She did and the swollen ear reduced in size and relieved her... God is good o. She's doing very fine as of now. She even went to the church picnic with moi yesterday. We played volley ball, badminton, soccer, dance in circles, and so on... imagine person wey dey cry before in pain running around the park with old church women. I testified on her behalf today.

The poem I'm about to share is one we all have access to. Some of us might have read it before..not here though. I read it for the first time and it made me shiver. I felt it's worth sharing. what do you think?...

O God, you are my God, earnestly I seek you; my soul thirsts for you, my body longs for you, in a dry and weary land where there is no water.

I have seen you in the sanctuary and beheld your power and your glory. Because your love is better than life, my lips will glorify you. I will praise you as long as I live, and in your name I will lift up my hands.

My soul will be satisfied as with the richest of foods; with singing lips my mouth will praise you. On my bed I remember you; I think of you through the watches of the night.

Because you are my help, I sing in the shadow of your wings. My soul clings to you; your right hand upholds me.

Author: King David.. {Psalm 63 : 1-8.....in the wilderness of Judah}

ALL ABOUT LOVE
