"His work is Wonderful"

“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.

Faith Walking

One of the familiar and shortest and yet most powerful statements a believer can say I believe is “Walking by Faith”. As a man almost 50 and have been through countless storms, some small and some big, my faith had to carry me thru.
That’s my life's testimony. The world wants you to believe that there is something wrong with a life like mine because I've gone through and I’m still going through.

They want you to believe that if you have what the Joneses have then you are living a fulfilled life. Pretty funny, huh? I walk by faith, and I know I’m God’s best. That’s should be fulfilling enough, but God is still completing me as I happily tell my story that my life is more complete, even though I’m still going through.
As you live out your ideal life and dreams, there is some advice, some great tips, which will help us, that will ensure faith, keep us humble and then we’ll enjoy life in great experience:
It will mature you when you walk with God, when you can honestly confess to Him, that you want his desires. Ask God to break you until you're walking in harmony with Him, and to reveal to you His desires for your life, Pray for this.
Check yourself, be honest and admit your not studying enough and if your not sure how to study, pray. Become discipline in your time with God, reading His word and committing time with Him daily. You have it in you to do this. 2 Timothy 2:15 teaches us to "be diligent to present yourself approved to God, a worker who does not need to be ashamed, rightly dividing the word of truth".
As a Marine I was taught to make new friends and keep your enemies closer; it’s some concepts like that, that will keep us stagnant. It's time to grow in all areas of your life. Don't be afraid to cut sub-tractors, distracters, and whiners out of your life.
A great sign that you are next is when you celebrate when others are being blessed. Celebrating will overflow when you’re close to the blessings and the Blessed.
