“HIS WORK IS WONDERFUL”
(A New Life Given - Liver Transplant)
My message today is very poignant for me. The sentimental angle will illustrate the miracle it represents. You will see how God’s ability to accomplish His plan in my life materialized in spite of how unlikely the possibilty had seemed. His talents are above all I can ever think or imagine, and all Glory is attributed to nobody, but God. I have entitled this message, “His Work Is Wonderful” because it portrays my personal affirmation: “Either Way I Win!” Whether God heals me on earth now, soon or decides to call me home to His glory, Either Way I Win! Isn’t that good news about a promise?
Tuesday, December 6, 2011, marks the fifth year Anniversary of my Liver Transplant.
A major Liver Transplant that God made possible. It was 8:30am when I received the call confirming a match. Around 11:30pm, I had been transplanted. He worked out the details and I reaped the reward. Hallelujah, Thank You God! I am so thankful for a God who is attentive to details. God saw fit to give me new life, a modern day miracle from the Master.
God makes no mistakes in His construction of mankind (Me). In fact, those life errors/ misfortunes we experience are actually His mark on your life. It’s His powerful way to make Him (GOD) known to you. As always, but especially this morning, I Rejoice! Not only am I excellently formed; as you are also, by a wonderful Maker, but we are fulfilled with a precious part in His great plan, which has been specifically created for you and me. When God formed us, He gave us all the qualities that make us unique, such as; your traits and talents; despite Trouble, Trials and Tribulations. Nevertheless, even things we consider flaws and weaknesses are all a part of Him perfecting us -- His wonderful children.
I take this opportunity to personally thank God for all of you who have prayed and stayed through this most challenging time of my life.
First, I give all Glory to God.
To my mother with her sleepless nights; my daughters, sisters, and brothers, I thank them for their love, strength & encouragement. To my God sister, God and spiritual mothers, I thank you for supporting the vision. To my best friend, those close loyal friends who attended to me and my family; my extended family through marriage, which I still consider family; Thank you for your prayers and standing in the gap. Old and new friends today, I thank God for you and all your Kindness and Support. To all my friends, your prayers have tremendously helped me to display an unselfish nature in letting God know my love for Him and in terms, I have that unconditional love for you.
To those I may not know and have never met, but you displayed in some way, your thoughtfulness to me by letting me know God will make a way, I thank you. To those that hung in there and supported me and my family, let it be known that it wasn’t in vain nor did I take it for granted, but for genuine love. I love you dearly and I truly thank you.
To the medical personals, keep doing what you do by making it happen, I thank you, even now, with my after care. To those who could not understand my challenges and abandoned me, I may not understand; but God does, I forgive and still love you with all my heart.
The marriage between me and God will never be broken because I made a vow to be with Him to the end and eternity, that’s real Agape Love. "I thank my God every time I remember you, constantly praying with joy in every one of my prayers for you, because of your sharing in the gospel from the first day until now. For I am confident of this very thing, that He who began a good work in you will perfect it until the day of Christ Jesus." (Philippians 1:3-6).
My prayer…”I thank you God for creating me, for seeing worth in me to recreate what I mess up, I praise you for all of your works in me which are truly wonderful.” Amen.
(He did it for me. He will do it for you). May God Bless each one of you, I pray God’s favor on you forever and every need and desire met according to His will. Love you all.
In Jesus’ Name,
Amen.

“For in the day of trouble he will keep me safe in his dwelling; he will hide me in the shelter of his tabernacle and set me high upon a rock” (Psalm 27:5)
James, you have sought God by serving Him with your whole heart, and He has hid you in His shelter. You are so connected to Him that you are untouchable and invisible to the enemy! Having experienced a miracle first hand, I know one when I see one. And you, my brother, have the blessed assurance of being a modern day miracle with a purpose. Because of your faith, He has healed you. No matter what is happening around you, you will have strength, confidence and rest greater than ever before knowing that you are safe in His arms. You know that ultimately things are going to work out for your good. You know that no weapon formed against you shall prosper. He came to give you life and five years ago today, He blessed you because of your eternal optimism of being a winner whether healed here on earth or being healed in Heaven with Him. He chose to heal you here so you could be a disciple for Him, and what a magnificent job you have done and continue to do through your ministry! As you celebrate your 5th anniversary of your transplant, know that your future is too bright to be distracted. Keep on being your best, walking in integrity, meditating on the Word, worshiping throughout the day, and stay hidden in Him! You are truly a miracle and a blessing. I love you and I praise God for you daily! Amen!
