Peace In Provision III: the CHOCOLATE story





        'Not that I speak in respect of want; for I have learned, in whatsoever state I am, therewith to be content'...Philippians 4 vs11
This is one of the stories I read from a devotional and I like to share, it’s called ‘the chocolate story’
         Many years ago living alone, I suddenly had an overwhelming urge for chocolate. It was fairly late at night, so I searched all the secret places I usually had it stashed but came up empty handed. Not even a wrapper to lick! So I sat on my bed and asked the Lord if He wouldn’t mind taking a moment’s break from supervising planetary matters in order to help curb my addition. I laughed at my audacity and picked up a book.
        Twenty minutes later there was a knock at my door. Having forgotten my prayer by then, I was shocked to see a friend from the street. When I asked what bought her to my house so late she answered, ‘About twenty minutes ago, God spoke to me strongly and told me to get you chocolate now! She then preceded to hand me a bag of chocolate.
God reminds me of that story sometimes to remind me of his love, power and sense of humor!                    There’s a peace in his ability to provide for all your needs.

People were gathered, whispering amongst themselves with grave expressions on their faces. Curiosity piqued, Samuel made his way towards the crowd, eager to understand what was happening. As he approached, he overheard snippets of conversation mentioning the "rapture." Intrigued, Samuel inquired further, only to discover that according to the beliefs of some, the rapture was an event where the righteous would be taken up to heaven, leaving the rest of humanity behind to face a time of great tribulation. As the discussion unfolded, Samuel realized that some people were act...

Finding Solace In The Waters

  Jared Erondu In a bustling city, there lived a man named Thomas who was burdened with worries and anxieties. One day, a friend suggested that he take a break from the chaos of city life and visit a nearby waterfall known for its tranquil beauty. Reluctantly, Thomas embarked on the journey, unsure of what to expect. As he approached the waterfall, he was mesmerized by the sight of the water cascading down the rocks, creating a symphony of sound. The mist from the waterfall gently kissed his face, and a sense of calm enveloped his troubled heart. Thomas found a quiet spot by the waterfall and sat in silence, allowing the soothing sound of rushing water to wash away his worries. In that moment, he felt a profound connection with God. The sight and sound of the waterfall became a metaphor for God's grace and healing power, washing away the burdens of his soul.

From the air we breathe to when we overcome bad situations to the loved ones who fill our lives.
