Brothers Keeper

Hmmm God is good! God is good! Thank God we don't look like what we go through. I look back memory lane and I thank God for the lessons God put me through. I'm learning day by day not to really worry about tomorrow but put all chips on the table in his arms and well fan it with prayers and patient. I’m learning more on how to sometimes put my issues aside and be my sister and brother’s keeper.

 

Few months ago I had to go for an appointment and when I got there I was a little bit upset because I was kept waiting longer than usual .when the lady that was to attend to me came in to take my details, I was busy looking at her appearance.one her hair was not neat, she had a lil soil on her shrub...Within me I was almost saying I won't allow this lady to touch me(God forgive me).But then we got talking and she asked me my educational background and I told her(you see she thought I was a college student lol) and then she told me how her son who was a student at one of the Ivy League university was "stressed".(well you know we Nigerians term stress as maybe fatigue )I didn't really understand her until she said he had to stop school because he kept seeing things. She asked if I believe prayers could heal him as he has been given so many medications but it still reoccurs. She said she remembered way back when she was much younger how one of her Aunty was healed of the same issue through prayers but it's been years, she stepped foot at church and she doesn't really know where to start from.

 

My people I didn't know when I started crying! I told her God can do it! I told her how I was so ill back at 2002 and how my grandma would pray all night till 6am at my bedside. I told her how doctors couldn't find a cure but doctor Jesus healed me! I told her she brought the child forth not through her power but that the same God that made her bring forth the child through blood and sweat can still make all things possible!

 

I learnt a lesson that day. While I was thinking about her appearances, I didn't know the battles she's going through. I got her number but sadly I didn't get back to her. I pray God should show up strong and mighty for her. Just as this old year is coming to an end, may the battles we fought this year never come into the new year with us! I pray our destiny will never be cut short in Jesus name! Thank God for the scars, the lessons and the victories. We will see 2017 and beyond in Jesus name!
