“Divine Sandwich.. Praise them, Whack them, Praise them”-Joseph Prince
How Great is our God Day 4
This song “Indescribable” captures the true essence of our God in our own human mentality. I don’t think we can truly comprehend God’s essence, wisdom and majesty. Our knowledge is too limited.
“As the heavens are higher than the earth, so are my ways higher than your ways and my thoughts than your thoughts.”-Isaiah 55:9
Read the lyrics before listening to the song..
Our God is so mysterious, powerful in majesty, vast in wisdom.
You can’t compare God to anyone but himself.
Think about it..
He created the smartest person in the world.
He created the most powerful person in the world.
He created the most beautiful person in the world.
He created our beautiful nature.
Our mysterious God is so Powerful that at the mention of his Name, “Every knee has to bow and Every Tongue must confess that He is Lord” (Philippians 2:10)
“Indescribable” By Chris Tomlin
Creation’s revealing Your majesty
From the colors of fall to the fragrance of spring
Every creature unique in the song that it sings
All exclaimingIndescribable, uncontainable,
You placed the stars in the sky and You know them by name.
You are amazing God
All powerful, untameable,
Awestruck we fall to our knees as we humbly proclaim
You are amazing God
Who has told every lightning bolt where it should go
Or seen heavenly storehouses laden with snow
Who imagined the sun and gives source to its light
Yet conceals it to bring us the coolness of night
None can fathom
Indescribable, uncontainable,
You placed the stars in the sky and You know them by name
You are amazing God
All powerful, untameable,
Awestruck we fall to our knees as we humbly proclaim
You are amazing God
You are amazing God
Indescribable, uncontainable,
You placed the stars in the sky and You know them by name.
You are amazing God
All powerful, untameable,
Awestruck we fall to our knees as we humbly proclaim
You are amazing God
Indescribable, uncontainable,
You placed the stars in the sky and You know them by name.
You are amazing God
Incomparable, unchangeable
You see the depths of my heart and You love me the same
You are amazing God
You are amazing God
How GREAT is our GOD!!!!
Tough Decisions..
I had to decide..
I didn’t want to make this decision.
But I knew that at some point, I had to woman up and make it.
It was tough,
My emotions were screaming <what are u doing?>
I ignored my emotions,
I did what needed done,
After, I decided..
I asked myself..
Did you make the right decision?
Of course..I couldn’t answer that question till Now..
It’s still hard but it is getting easier as the days go by.
I look back just a week later..
Finally, I can say..
I made the right decision.
God first.
I can’t compromise!!
How GREAT is our GOD Day 3..
I found this amazing story written one of my friends on fb. I can’t share the person’s name.
“A man who is about 24 years old is walking down the street homeless for over almost 4 years now. Asking people for food and money. This man was not a man of ignorance or negativity. He just lost his home due to a major fire from the inside of his house. This man lost his two twin daughters and his wife of 8 years in the fire. He survived but now has nothing.”
One day, this man went to the a gas station up the street to find more people to give him something to eat. He ran into this young lady. This young lady was about 22 years old. She was in college and had alot going for her. So the homeless man went up to her and asked her “What is the matter why is she so sad? She answered: “I lost my job, my grades are not good, my parents dont listen to me and I just broken up with my boyfriend of 3 years.” The man replied and said “Sorry to hear that. I just have one thing to say to you. From what I hear your going through a lot of things right now but trust me when I say its not gonna end this way. You still have a chance for something greater in life so your should hold your pretty face up high and continue on with life. Coming from experience, IT COULD HAVE BEEN WORSE!I am a homeless man out here begging for food and money.
Trust me, there is a whole lot you should be thankful for in the process. I am not the best person to share bible scripture with, but the last scripture I read keeps me going and I hope that it blesses you. It says: For I know the plans that I have for you declares the lord, plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future.”
The young lady was so blessed by the message he gave her. She gave him great thanks by taking him to get something to eat and actually bought him a gift card to shop for clothes.
Ending of this message, the homeless man went to church one day and gave his life to christ! He ended up living with the pastor who gave him a job at his funeral home. So on TODAY, this homeless man is now running his own business, has a two story house in the suburbs, and is currently engaged to be married to his new wife to be.
Whats so amazing about this short story is not only do I know this man, but it shows me that no matter if your a crackhead, prostitute, etc. God gets pleasure in using this so-called names to be a blessing and a true example of TRUST AND FAITH! People like this man are a mystery to God. It just proves that he can take anyone and turn their life around.
The best part of this story is HIS WIFE TO BE IS THE YOUNG LADY HE RAN INTO AT THE GAS STATION!!!! GOD IS AN AMAZING GOD…..

How is Great is Our God Day 2
During my undergrad, I got an opportunity to see an health care professional work with a stroke patient. She educated me about what she was doing, I couldn’t stop to think that we are indeed fearfully and wonderfully made.
As you know stroke affects one side of your body. Basically, one side of your body becomes affected, you can’t do what you could before with that side of the body.
Stroke happens when there is less blood flow to your brain due to a narrowed artery or an artery that burst open. The right side of your brain control the left side of your body and the left side of your brain controls the right side. So the side of the brain that is affected will determine which side will lose function. For more info (http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmedhealth/PMH0001740/)
The healthcare professional was working with this patient on their affected side of the body to get it to function again. While she was working with this patient, she showed how the other side (unaffected) tried to compensate for the functioning lost in the affected side. As the patient was trying to do stuff with the affected side the unaffected side was also trying to do the same thing to help the affected side.
God knew that we would go through challenges that’s why he set up compensatory mechanisms to help us adapt.
How GREAT is our GOD!!
How Great is our God Day 1
The Law of Gravity..
Can you imagine earth without this law?
We would all be floating without it.
I know the idea of floating sounds kool.
If we were constantly floating could have we been able to do all the things we can do today?
Of course, if Gravity didn’t exist,
God would have created another law that would have made our lives easier.
If we were constantly floating would we have cars?
Floating cars??
Obviously, it’s hard for me to imagine life without gravity.
Take a minute, imagine ur life without gravity?
What kind of life would it be?
Do you think we could survive like this?
God is so Great that he made this earth with a law that makes our life easier.

Girl Reality Check..
Ladies,
We fantasize about our weddings.
Yet, we somehow forget that our marriage is more important.
It makes no sense to spend thousands of dollars or naira on a wedding only for it to end in a divorce.
There’s nothing wrong in spending a lot of money on your wedding..
But, you need to INVEST more into your marriage to make sure it works.
Weddings are beautiful..
Every girl dreams of their Cinderella moment on their wedding day.
Cinderella on your wedding day,
and an Evil queen after your wedding makes no sense.
Don’t get me wrong spend as much as you want on your wedding;
However, you need to invest more in your marriage prior and after the wedding to make sure your marriage works.
Your Wedding is a one day event.
if you’re African like me.. A two day event.
For other cultures a multiple day event.
Point is all our wedding festivities will come to an end.
Your Marriage should be forever.
Which one deserves more investment??
Malachi 2:16-“I hate divorce” says the Lord.
“It’s better to have an average wedding with an exceptional marriage, than a dream wedding but the marriage be a nightmare.”-Singles and Married Africa
How fine is your Man?
Ladies,
We see a and our heads start spinning.. LOL!!
There’s nothing wrong in thinking a guy is attractive.
However, check yourself that you don’t lust.
We are only suppose to lust after our husbands.
If you don’t have a husband,
you probably shouldn’t be lusting after anybody.
Girl, go beyond looks,
Does he love the Lord?
Not just go to Church,
does he have an intimate relationship with the Lord?
Guys are getting smart these days..
Some guys don’t just go to church,
they go to meet ladies.
We have to be wise,
going to church or singing in the choir is not enough.
You be the judge..
With the leadership of the holy spirit,
you will know if this guy is legit or not..
Please look beyond looks..
Check out his character.
What is his character telling you about him?
Pray about it.
Cos a that puts God first should be PRAISED!!
