Day Trip to Brighton

"And we know that all things work together for good to those who love God, to those who are the called according to His purpose." Romans 8: 28

-----

For the last two months, I've been waking up early on week days to watch Dr David Jeremiah on GodTV at 6am, as I find his sermons very inspiring. 

This week he's been teaching about Romans Chapter 8, which he believes to be the Greatest chapter in the Bible

Today he preached about Romans 8: 28 - which he believes to be the greatest promise in the Bible for all believers in Christ:

"And we know that all things work together for good to those who love God, to those who are the called according to His purpose."  Romans 8: 28

My friend and I had planned to take a trip to Brighton, a seaside resort  in the south coast of England. (It was my early birthday celebration). As my friend lives in east London and I Iive in north London, we arranged to meet at southwest London to catch the train to Brighton.p

We had a fabulous day.

Later, my friend said she was thinking of getting the train back that goes through the City of London. I was reluctant to get that train as I thought it would be going out of my way. I told her it would be a shame for us to part company and travel separately to London. We decided to leave Brighton around 5pm so we could both avoid the rush hour in London.

While we were relaxing at this hotel away from the heat, I went to use the toilet. I then had a thought that I should travel on the same train as my friend.

When I came out, I told her I was going to travel back with her.

When we arrived at Brighton Station, there were lots of commuters on the concourse. Apparently,  several trains had been cancelled because of the hot weather, which was affecting the train tracks. There was only one train going to  London, the one my friend had suggested.  It was already 10 minutes late. When I checked the train stops, I saw that train was not only going through the City but travelling through north London, which would take me home a lot faster.  A train staff also advised us to walk right down the platform so we'll be able to get  seats on the train when it finally arrived.

When I obeyed the Holy Spirit, all things did work togethet for both of us. We not only left at the right time, we were not affected by the earlier train delays. We also got seats on the train and the train took both of us closer to our final destination. 

Thank you, God, for always making things work out for good! ❤️

If at First You Don't Succeed

So I put a quiche in the oven to heat it up. By the time I checked it again, it was overdone. I had to scrape the burnt bits off. I didn't share that information with my flatmate, who was at work at the time. The very next day, my flatmate bought me the exact same quiche from the supermarket. I told her I had "cooked" a quiche the day before but it was more burnt than cooked. I believe God had inspired my flatmate to buy that quiche for me. It was His way of saying, if at first you don't succeed, try again.😊 Tomorrow I will have the quiche and be sure to follow the heating instructions. Thank you, Lord, for caring about everything that concerns me including cooking. ❤️

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

About Angels

Do I believe in angels? I have always believed in angels. Years ago when a van came from nowhere and almost ran me over, someone pulled me out of the way. I turned round to thank the person, but there was no one there, at least they were not visible to my senses. I believe I was saved by an angel. When I followed the New Age, the belief was you could call on angels to do your bidding. Some people even worshipped angels. As a Christian, I now follow the teachings in the Bible. Angels appear frequently in the Bible. In the Bible: - Angels are God's messengers. For instance  the angel Gabriel was sent by God to tell the virgin Mary that she had been chosen to be the mother of Jesus. (Luke 1: 19) - Angels are sent by God to protect His people or fight various battles.(Psalm 91: 11-12; Revelation 12: 7) - Angels are not there to be at people's beck and call. Instead, they act on God's word.(Psalm 103: 20-21) - Angels are not to be worshipped. If I have a need, I can
