Still thankful

It is really amazing how faithful and how true to his word GOD is. Sometimes when you read the word, or a prophetic word is spoken over your life and don’t see the manifestation in real life, you kind of wonder whether you heard or read right, and whether you understood what was said.

Over the years, one of GOD’s words that I have read and have been spoken over my daughter’s and my life was this verse from Genesis 50:20

This is another testimony of GOD's grace and mercies in our lives over the years, and it has been happening over and over again. We have literally had the enemy come at us from all angles. They no longer hide or pretend. But guess what? In as much as they have been attacking, GOD has been fighting for us. He has been so hard at work on our behalf and I am so thankful that we belong to a father who loves us ever so much!

One of the scenarios that have finally played out is this. Sometime in early July, we noticed that a couple of days after we finally got rid of the squatter enemy that was in our home, we had rodents. Up to six months since our return, they were not there and all of a sudden they were there. We live on the first floor of a detached house and there was no way they could fly up there. In order for our Housing association to take action, we needed the co-operation of the downstairs neighbor, who refused.

So I called the local authority and they confirmed the problem and source. I took that information to the housing association. They then sent a company to block the entry points in the kitchen, but the worker sent did not do anything. The enemy was trying to get us to leave our GOD given home, but GOD stepped in. After waiting for weeks and nothing was done, I raised a formal complaint through their online system. At this point I was so infuriated, and never saw GOD’s hand in this, but there was this urgency one morning to make the complaint.

Well, to cut a very long story short, even though they usually take at least two weeks to respond, they got back to me within twenty four hours. At the same time, a surveyor was sent to assess the kitchen and what needs to be done. She promised to do something about it, fix the cupboards, change the kitchen, whatever it takes.

In less than two weeks, one week before Christmas, got a call from a company that they have been given the contract to give us a brand new kitchen! Two weeks ago, we now have a brand new kitchen from floor to ceiling, the contractors even gave us the first gift of a brand new black wall clock, as our kitchen is white and our theme is black and white!You see, our old kitchen was over twenty years old, holes in the cupboards and unit shelves and doors falling off, and at GOD's perfect timing, he restored the old for new! GOD is so good! He said I will make all things new and he did just that!

I am purposed to be Thankful every day of my life, because I know that no matter what comes at me, GOD has got my back and that’s all that matters.
