Yes, it could only have been God that can arise for anyone HE is so interested in.
My grandmother is a blessed woman. She is 83 years old but she is still very active.
She still climbs staircase.
She still sews clothes for herself, putting in the thread into the needle all by herself.
Just recently, i had an inkling into the grace of God she seems to be enjoying.
She narrated how when she was quite younger in her 30’s, even as a young Minister’s wife, she was regularly going to the church to clean the whole place up.
Even when she was in her 50’s, she would still join those who volunteered to clean the church and her surroundings every Saturday.
One day came.
It was like a day of test.
She had been having a serious back ache a day before. She had thought she would not be able to go for the general cleaning in the church.
The pain was said to be sharp and excruciating.
She would be in bed and be crying to God for help
Then, she remembered the Scriptures, ‘ Who or what can separate me from the love of God, ( in her case, her service to God inclusive ) , Could it be afflictions or death or……..
My grandmother told me she resolved to go and work with others that very day.
She went, did what she could do , yet nothing happened.
She did not despair.
In the evening of that day, there was a crusade. She believed God to heal her.
God was and HE is still faithful.
Who says there are no Men of God?
Who says there is no miraculous healing or deliverance?
The Guest Preacher cum Evangelist came up and told the crowd that somebody was there that evening, who came in pains — a terrible pain. The Lord said HE had seen the fellow’s condition and had intervened. That the person could not be serving God and not be helped.
My grandmother further stated that she keyed into this prophecy.
Instantly, the back ache disappeared.
This was many years ago.
Truly, God has been merciful to her.
To her, what God had said, HE did.
HE confirmed the word of the Man of God. Since then, my grandma has never suffered any major ailment.
She made me see the ugly side of me.
I go to church expecting the miraculous.
I was not doing anything in the house of God.
I know that service alone without holiness and faith could not be sufficient to receive from the Lord.
I have lived for myself. I have resolved too that as I strive to live to please God from now, let Him find me also offering myself in joining the others to put things in the house of God in order.
I must not only live but have life more abundantly in the name of the Lord Jesus
Let the GRACE abound towards us all, Oh Lord
