A prayer answered

My very good friend also Joy's godma has been praying for a baby for a long long time... 3 years...36 months of disappointments... seeing your friends getting pregnant, giving birth, children growing up ...a left behind feeling... why it is not your turn? She cried and we cried with her..... the wait was so long that we even "demanded" God to answer the prayer NOW.

Last sunday, her prayer was answered. She is pregnant! We were so HAPPY for them...Unspeakable joy! They couldn't believe it till now.... I can imagine.. you have been disappointed for 36 times and finally it is a "Yes"...somehow it doesn't sink into you...you can't believe it!

One of the most brilliant tricks from the devil. Some people have been told that they are a failure for so many times that they believed it. When something good happen, they can't accept it. How can it be? It can't be me.. etc.... Reject them in the name of Jesus! We are all sons and daughters of God. Good times will come our way...Our heavenly Father is a loving father who will shower us with good stuff... Yes, we don't deserve these blessings. But Jesus has redeemed all our sins on the cross. Hence, through Him, we receive these wonderful gifts. Believe you are a Champion in all ways of your life. Do not allow the devil to tell you that you are a failure 'cos it is a LIE!

I remembered I have bell palsy when I gave birth to Joy. I was so depressed.. first you looked really ugly... One eye big one eye small.. one eye lid cannot close, hence you need to tape it when you sleep, you can't drink water without using a straw, you can't brush teeth nor wash face properly, a buzzing noise in your ears all day all night... fear gripped me...will I be like that forever? Doc told me that there is no drug to treat this... it takes min 6 months to 6 years to heal..and some never recover or recover partially. I cried and cried. We prayed. I told Jesus that I want to have a full month party for Joy. Hence, I must recover by then. Fully recovered. My cell group prayed for me...my whole church prayed for me. Indeed my Daddy God is so wonderful... I fully recovered in 3 weeks! The doctor cannot believe it too... He said it is so amazing. However, after I fully recovered, I have nightmares that the bell palsy returns... when my eyes twick, when my speech slur... I am gripped with fear. I realised that it must be from the devil... Hence, I prayed out loud.... My Lord, who is my healer....His healing on my sickness is complete and prefect... it will NOT come back ever again! From that day onwards, no more nightmares, no more fear........

Hence, my dearest, please believe that you are a Champion in your life.... do not let anyone tell you that you are not capable of achieving something or you are a failure... 'cos you are NOT.
