The Lord's Theme For The Year

The Lord has crowned the year (2011) with His goodness and caused us to walk in His paths that drips with His fatness (Psalm 65:11)

The Devil Will Have To Restore What He Tried To Steal From My Family

Two things happened to my family and I today and my wife and I had declared to the Lord that the devil tried to steal from us and now he has to restore and do that BIG time.

Incident #1
This morning when we woke up, my son discovered that our kitchen was flooded with almost 0.5 cm of water and that the water continued to flow unceasingly. Of course, that woke the entire family up and after we had washed up, I had to shut the main tap off to prevent more wastage.
Tried to call the contractor who renovated our home at around 07:30 AM but he was not answering his call and so after sending him an urgent text message to his mobile phone, I called him again and managed to talk with him at around 08:30.
He came to look at the kitchen and tried to diagnose the problem and after about 30 minutes he discovered where the fault area was. What baffled him was that the pipe that was supposed to have burst led to nowhere and also there were no welding or any form of stopper in the first instance and how after all these years (15 years to be precise) the problem surfaced surprised him as well. Finally he brought in his welding tank and after 30 minutes, managed to seal the leakage area.
Incident #2
This evening as I was about to enter the Pan Island Expressway (PIE) through a slip road near my home, a long string of cars stopped to allow some pedestrians to cross the road at the zebra crossing. Of course I also stopped and waited. Just as my car came to a complete halt, a brand new Merc came from behind and, not paying attention to t he long line of cars, collided into the back of my Honda Jazz and damaged my rear door (hatchback) as well as the rear bumper. Now my car moves with a loud rattle as the loose bumper vibrates with the engine and I have to send the car in for replacement of parts which may take up to one week.
So, am I annoyed? you bet I am and I also know who the real culprit is - the one who came to steal, kill and destroy - but he will never be able to get away because my Daddy God will deal with him and make sure he restores to us, not one for one but a hundred-fold.

A New Believer's Prayer

Thank you Father for loving us so much that You sent Your precious Son Jesus Christ to this world to die for all our sins. I receive Jesus into my heart as my Lord and Savior.
Thank you that all my sins have been nailed to the Cross on Jesus at His death and because He died in our place, I am now saved forever. I have been made righteous in Your sight because of what Jesus did and I can now enjoy Your blessings over my life. Thank you for the privilege of being called Your Child and for the Gift of Your Holy Spirit in my life. AMEN
