God Always Make a Way

"Behold, I will do a new thing,Now it shall spring forth; Shall you not know it? I will even make a road in the wilderness And rivers in the desert." Isaiah 43: 19

"And my God shall supply all your need according to His riches in glory by Christ Jesus.' Philippians 4: 19, NKJV

"Now to Him who is able to do exceedingly abundantly above all that we ask or think, according to the power that works in us.," Ephesians 3:20, NKV

Before I started looking for a new home, I prayed about it by thanking God for already providing it. I also had some friends standing with me in prayer.  I had an idea what I was looking for like a nice green, quiet and safe neighbourhood and local amenities like shops, good public transport, close to a park and a local library. I then trusted in God to orovide.

I took practical steps like putting the word out for anyone looking for a flatmate. I was also inspired to join this website that specialises in finding flatmates, but you have to pay a fee to advertise and have access to the places being advertised. A lot of the rooms were very expensive.  There was no way I was going to afford them, unless God provided the money.

God provided the rent and deposit I needed.

It got to a point when I was running out of time and still not finding anywhere suitable. I even had to extend my moving out date for another week.

When I found myself getting into unbelief, I reminded myself that God knows what my needs are.  I also meditated on Isaiah 43: 19, i.e. God was doing a new thing and creating rivers in the desert. I constantly declared to myself that "God always makes a way where there appears to be no way."

I was going to look at a place that sounded promising, but because I had been ill with the flu, I had to cancel because I still wasn't feeling well. By the time I got better, that room had been taken.

Long story short, one night when I couldn't sleep, I browsed through the website and noticed some rooms and I messaged the landlords.  The next day I started thinking about renting an AirBnB place for a month to give me more time. Just before I was going to book one, I heard from one of the advertisers I had texted the night before. After exchanging texts, I arranged to view the property. I got on instantly with my new flatmate who is a primary school teacher,. She introduced me to her cat, Zeus. I happened to love cats.

My new home is in a nice and safe neighbourhood.  As for the amenities I was looking for? My new home is opposite a supermarket and there are lots of ships cafes around. The local library is about 5 minutes walk away. There's a bus stop nearby, which provides night service for those times when I will need to travel early for filming. There is also a lovely park about fifteen minutes walk away.

The Isaiah Bible verse I had been meditating on said God "will do a new thing" and He "will make... rivers in the wilderness." Well, behind my new flat there is a canal with a river and the river is called New River.

God provided a new river in my wilderness.

Thank you, Father God, for always making a way where there appears to be no way. ❤️

The Cross is My Landmark

"Christ has redeemed us from the curse of the law, having become a curse for us (for it is written, “Cursed is everyone who hangs on a tree”), that the blessing of Abraham might come upon the Gentiles in Christ Jesus, that we might receive the promise of the Spirit through faith." Galatians 3; 13-14 ---- While I was walking at Regent's Park, I could see BT Tower in the distance, which I used as my landmark to guide me to where I was headed. I know I'm headed in the wrong direction if I can no longer see any part of the BT Tower. It got me thinking of the cross that Jesus was crucified on. I believe the cross is a landmark that reminds me of the price Jesus's crucifixion paid for all humanity for all time. If I am ever feeling"lost" physically, emotionally or spiritually,, all I need to do is either think of the cross or look at a representation of the cross and I'm back on track. Thank you, Jesus, for dying for me on the cross! ❤️ ✝️ Photos of

If God is Sovereign, Why is there Evil?

It is written in the Bible that God is in complete control and rules over all. (Psalm 103: 19l If God is sovereign and in control of the entire universe, why is there so much evil in the world? In other words, why does He allow evil to continue? The Bible tells us that because God is extremely patient, He gives us many second chances to enable us to repent or change our ways, as He doesn't want anyone to perish. (2 Peter 3: 9) That's why God allows men to continue in their sin. At a time of God's choosing, He brings down the proud. (Daniel 4: 37) One example in the Bible is  the life of King Nebuchadnezzar. God sent a  dream to the king to warn him about his sins and how he was exalting himself above God.  If he did not repent, he would temporarily lose his kingdom and be driven away from human society and end up eating grass like animals.  The king did not heed God's warning. After a year, he ended up going mad and lived like an animal for seven years. God then res

Shopping with the Holy Spirit

Image
Because my job involves standing up for hours, I needed to get new footwear as the cheap trainers I've been wearing have been very uncomfortable. I have several trainers which are very comfortable, but they are too colourful for work as your shoes have to be black. My ideal would be black trainers that could pass as smart shoes where the logo is either hidden or not that obvious. The first thing I did was check the website of my favourite brand of trainers, I found a pair I liked. Because they said they come in small sizes, I decided to visit one of their stores at Oxfird Street (Europe's busiest shopping street with 200+ shops) where I could try them on for size. After work, I caught the bus to Oxford Street. As the bus was driving  by, I noticed a shop that someone had recommended. (I actually have one of their trainers, but they are in pink and blue and not suitable for work). There was another shoe shop next door that I am also familiar with.  Should I get off the bus? Nah.
