^fixing our eyes on Jesus, the pioneer and perfecter of faith. For the joy set before him he endured the cross, scorning its shame, and sat down at the right hand of the throne of God." Hebrews `12: 2
Today it took longer than usual to get to church. While I was waiting for my last bus, I asked God to get me there on time as I hate being late. When I got on the final bus, it was 10.55 am. As it only takes about two minutes by bus, I knew I would get there exactly at 11 am. At the next stop, the bus driver announced the bus was on diversion. "I give up! I'm definitely going to be late now," I said out loud. An elderly lady siting near me told me she and her husband were also late for the Catholic church they were going to. "I'm sure God won't mind," I said. I spent the duration of the journey chatting to my friend. By the time I got off the bus, it was about 11.10am. I noticed a van driving by with the company name - Godward. Later, the Minister preached about repenting and moving toward God. In other words, moving Godward. I was never late, I was so on time, God gave me a preview of today's sermon. Nice one, God! 😊❤️
Reminder to self: "You may be asking why I changed my plan. Do you think I make my plans carelessly? Do you think I am like people of the world who say “Yes” when they really mean “No”?

For all of God’s promises have been fulfilled in Christ with a resounding “Yes!” And through Christ, our “Amen” (which means “Yes”) ascends to God for his glory." 2 Corinthians 1:17-20, NLT
"The thief does not come except to steal, and to kill, and to destroy. I have come that they may have life, and that they may have it more abundantly." John 10: 10 --- One very clever manoeuvre that the devil uses on people is he convinces them that he doesn't exist. If the devil wasn't real, Jesus would not have spoken about him as often as he did. In fact, Jesus' purpose on earth was to "destroy the works of the devil." (1 John 3: 8) So yes, the devil is definitely real. The moment I decided I no longer wanted any part of the lie of reincarnation and wanted to know what Jesus meant by "I have come that they may have life, and that they may have it more abundantly" (John 10: 10), I was drawn into the devil's web of lies. First, he got me to follow lots of false teachings to convince me the devil didn't exist. When I started questioning why we have to die in the first place, the devil tried to kill me a few times, but I was saved by G...
