Today was one of those amazing days in my life. The devil has been attacking and trying to lure me into a life of sin. I have been fighting by God's grace and some times I fell but this never kept me down. For God's word makes me to understand that the just man falleth seven times but he rises again(Prov 24:16). I also held unto his words knowing his strength is made manifest in my weakness. So, every time I fell, the enemy will echo my failures in my ears and made me feel like quitting but these scriptures kept my faith and desire to keep fighting knowing that God's grace was sufficient for me.

Have you ever felt God talk to you directly through a preacher's sermon? Today was one of those days for me. My pastor and father in the Lord was talking on a topic "Deep calls unto deep" and it was a message directed to me. He even went as far as mentioning the specific sin the devil has been throwing at me in his sermon. I could really feel God talking to me through him and telling me what I must do clearly. From the word, God made me to know exactly what was lacking and what I had to do to gain absolute victory over the enemy.

It is so amazing how he will go out of his way just to get to us his beloved children to direct us, aid us and help us to overcome the adversary. I was so blessed and impacted knowing he's there. It's not like I doubt his presence but this act just proved it even further that he could see my struggles and is stretching out his hand like always to help me. How he loves us and what manner of love has he bestowed upon them that love him. Some times, I feel so ashamed when I fall into the temptations of the enemy. I can hardly forgive myself for it but just when I am lamenting in self pity, he always comes and tells me all is forgiven.

I still can't comprehend is love, mercies and grace. How can he love me so much I ask myself? I wrong him everyday, disgrace him, profane his holiness etc. I count myself not worthy to be called his son but he just won't let me go.I can't count the number of times I have been the prodigal son and he has played the loving father. It just bring this song to my mind "Reckless love". He keeps running after me even though I don't deserve it. Oh his grace is so wonderful. Hearing him direct me today through his servant was one of those special moments for me and I can just say "Thank you Father". For your love, mercies, grace and goodness.

I acknowledge I am nothing without him and I am just mud in his hands. He is still molding me to become the masterpiece he wants me to become. I am not perfect but I am a work in progress and when he is through with me, the World will see the glory of his works. I love him and his words are life to my spirit and they make the difference. He loves us and wants to help us with every heavy load that is weighing us down. It doesn't matter what it is, no sin is too great for him to wash away. Just listen to him speak to you and lay it down at the feet of the master. He knows and understands our weaknesses and wants to strengthen us and give us total victory over sin. Listen to him and let him work through you.

           Shalom!!!!
