“I’M ELATED THAT YOU ARE MY LADY”

That’s my message from God this morning on a quick 12-minute run around our neighborhood. I was listening to one of my messengers from Him, Justin Bieber, and his latest single, ‘Yummy.’ He continued:

“Ain’t on the side, YOU’RE NUMBER ONE!!!”

Call me crazy, but I believe we each can claim this with total confidence: “Ain’t on the side, I’m God’s number one!!!” Better believe it! I’m over eleven years in from saying this crucial prayer that has changed my life: ‘God, I want a closer walk with You,’ and He has disappointed me yet! I constantly feel His invisible Presence.

Like this week, I, out of the blue, started referring to our family as the A-Team. I even wrote it in a post, that I’m helping my kids and husband to be our best selves together, all for God’s glory. We’re His A-Team! I called my sons in Nigeria to tell them this new name, saying that I’m expecting nothing less than A’s from them. Same with my daughters, ‘Momma not accepting any B’s this time around!’ I mean totally going overboard with this A-Team thing. And as I drove yesterday, out on an important errand, deciding to go the extra mile for God, a truck passed with the name of a business, ‘A-Team (Wink! Wink!) Concepts’

Unbelievably, this was God’s way of saying, ‘Nik, My sweet, invisible Presence is ALWAYS with you.’ I want us all feeling His constant Presence with us. My screensaver on my phone says this: “I’m walking beside you.” I’m going through life KNOWING that God never leaves my side, not even for a nanosecond. I CAN THEREFORE BE STRONG, UNFLINCHING AND COURAGEOUS no matter what comes my way! These verses showed up in an appointment with God last night with my daughter, Julie:

“Be full of joy in the Lord always. I will say again, be full of joy. Let everyone see that you are gentle and kind. The Lord is coming soon. Do not worry about anything, but pray and ask God for everything you need, always giving thanks. And God’s peace, which is so great we cannot understand it, will keep your hearts and minds in Christ Jesus. Brothers and sisters, think about the things that are good and worthy of praise. Think about the things that are true and honorable and right and pure and beautiful and respected. Do what you learned and received from me, what I told you, and what you saw me do. And the God who gives peace will be with you.” – Philippians 4:6-8

I claim this peace for us all, the peace that surpasses all comprehension KNOWING that God Himself is with us ALWAYS. Pray, work hard, and let God worry!
