GOD BLOWS ME AWAY WITH HIS LOVE

Yesterday was a Nigerian holiday, and I asked our assistant, Fatimah, to help us with a message to our customers. When I read it, though, I immediately said, “I don’t like!” (Maybe this is why Julie said I could be a little bit softer!) Just so happen that her daughter came to work with us while she is waiting for college classes here to begin again, and I asked her to come up with something better. She met me like less than 15 minutes with the most beautiful messages. I got goosebumps all over! I was so impressed that I told her she should go home and enjoy the holiday! Fatimah sent me a text asking if everything was OK, like why I sent her daughter home. I then asked her to come and talk to me in person.

I told her how proud I was of her to have raised such a fantastic daughter who was capable of handling that assignment so impressively. I then took the time to tell her that I know things are not the way we would like right now at our business, given that I was away for so long and some people have disappointed us, which we didn’t expect, but that God will turn things around and restore what we’ve lost and pay us back even more.

Fast forward 20 minutes later, I go to read Joel Osteen’s email, and he astonishingly confirmed what I said:

“Your situation may not look good. You may be facing something at your business, in a relationship, or have a health issue that you don’t think could ever work out. But God didn’t bring you this far to leave you. He can turn things around, bring a breakthrough, restore your health and happiness, and cause your business to take off. Rise up in faith and say, “God, I’m not going to give up. I’m believing to see glorious things, miracles again, the dream come to pass, the problem resolved. I know that You always finish what You start.”

I immediately sent the message to Fati, feeling instantly reminded that God is really with us!

Then, this morning waking up at around 4:30, I went to our family’s website to have an appointment with God before beginning some complicated work. I saw I had 17 Facebook notifications, so I went to page 17 of our webpage, and I read this beautiful prayer from Devon Franklin from July:

“So, I pray, Dear Lord, that you will send the help, you will send the clarity (EXACTLY WHAT I NEEDED BEFORE TACKLING THAT WORK!). You will meet the need as only you can do it. If you can feel God’s Presence through what I am saying, let that be confirmation to you that God’s not going to bring you this far to leave you. He will not take you to this moment and drop you.”

Fast forward to after I finished that work and sending out a crucial email, with my heart pounding, hoping I did it correctly, I ran to God for an appointment with Him. Of all places, I go to look up Fatimah’s WhatsApp to reread the message from Joel Osteen, and incredibly realize that both Devon and Joel said the same thing:

Joel:  But God didn’t BRING YOU THIS FAR TO LEAVE YOU.

Devon: …let that be confirmation to you that God’s not going to BRING YOU THIS FAR TO LEAVE YOU.

That lined up too perfectly to be some ordinary coincident! Exact words!!! That was God revealing His invisible Presence with your girl over here in one of her anxious moments. Phew! Like He was saying, ‘Relax, Nik, I got you!’ The sweet life with God continues, despite the challenges that come our way! He has your back too!!! His favor is in the spiritual realm on our behalf, baby! Wink! Wink!
