CELEBRATING GOD’S HOLINESS AND JUSTICE
ON
MY 28TH BIRTHDAY
'He
will guard the feet of his faithful servants, but the wicked will be silenced
in the place of darkness. "It is not by strength that one prevails; those
who oppose the LORD will be broken. The Most High will thunder from heaven; the
LORD will judge the ends of the earth. "He will give strength to his king
and exalt the horn of his anointed" - 1 Samuel
2:9-10(NIV).
On this 16th
day of February, 2013 I enter into the 28th year of my God-given years in this
life. Indeed, God has not added another year to my life on this earth but had
rather caused me to enter and enjoy one of many years He had already granted
me. I do not know the exact number of years He had given me but I am certain
that I will fulfill the number of my days to His absolute satisfaction.
Father,
thank You, thank You, and many many thanks to You! I celebrate Your goodness
towards me. Accept my sacrifices of thanksgiving.
Father,
among the gods there is none but You! You alone are worthy of power, honour and
glory.
LORD
God Almighty You are par excellence and All-in-All. I celebrate Your greatness!
Father, accept my sacrifices of praise.
Holy,
holy, holy is the LORD God Almighty, holiness is His very character; the fibre
of His being. You are perfect in character and in Your mighty works. Father,
accept my worship.
God
has taught me three (3) great lessons in these 28 years. I have learnt that God
is always faithful, holy and just! As the faithful God, He always honours His
Word even in my unfaithfulness. As the epitome of holiness, God is perfect in
all His ways. He therefore commands me to be holy in all my ways, by His grace.
I have also learnt that God always acts justly in everything. Thus justice is
the ‘bottom-line’ of all the actions and inactions of God. These great lessons
have indeed shaped my relationship with God and mankind in general.
I am persuaded that
today marks the end of many things in my life – the many betrayals, ‘defeats’, disappointments,
and of course persecutions of all forms. I thank my many enemies, false friends
and lovers, and persecutors. You have helped me to absolutely depend on God
always and for everything. Father, bless them and all my destiny helpers by Your
standard of justice. More importantly, today also marks the beginning of the
total fulfillment of God’s perfect plan for my precious life. From henceforth,
laughter and joy in the Holy Spirit shall be my hallmark. God shall perfect me
in all my ways. I shall fulfil my destiny in its entirety! I AM UNSTOPPABLE!
“Beauty
for ashes, Life evermore, Peace beyond measure, Jesus won it all…”
