Praise the Lord God Almighty who always causes us to triumph! 🙌✨
Today I’m pausing to thank God for His goodness. It’s been 31 years since I gave my life to Christ, and over 20 years of preaching the Gospel. Through every season, He has kept me, not because of titles or achievements (or even good looks, lol 😄), but because He loves me, He has called me and I belong to Him.

I have my flaws like anyone else. But by God’s grace, I have remained consistent, diligent, and faithful. I showed up when I didn’t know what to do next, and I showed up when I did. There were many moments when giving up seemed easier, but God strengthened me to keep going.

He has allowed me to be a blessing to many, and a friend to some. With quiet confidence and strength, I’ve learned to weather storms and leap over hurdles and trust God in every circumstance. I have learned to let go of the past. I refuse to keep people hostage in a prison of unforgiveness or bitterness, because my prayers must not be hindered, and my heart must remain free. Whether or not I tolerate nonsense, now that's a whole other story (smile).

Through public trials and private challenges, God has sustained me. And today, I give Him all the glory. I’m grateful that my identity is rooted in Him, not in opinions or approval of others. A person who talks the loudest or the most is not necessarily always right and we all will give account for every idle word, thought or deed (Amen). Men are fallible beings and God is the only one who knows and understands infinite/eternal truth and no one on this Earth has a heaven to put you or I in lol, so we real good over here, lol. Everything I do, I do because I love the Lord Jesus Christ… because He called me… because His hand is upon my life.

This journey is not about me.
Every step, every testimony, every victory, I point all glory back to Him.

Friends, hear me well:
What God has for you is for YOU.
It is ordained. It is sealed. It is appointed once you stay the course.
Don’t let anyone convince you otherwise.
Walk in it with humility but at the same time walk in godly boldness, knowing who your God is.

Today, I’m simply taking a moment to celebrate the faithfulness, mercy, and goodness of God 🙏. Thanking God today for His faithfulness, past, present, and future should the Lord tarry and spare life🙏❤️✨.

Just Reflecting...
Your friend in Christ,
Delana

Ps. Gotta get me some more pictures, I am always so focused on the work and almost never remember to take pics, some good soul always volunteers me some pics, too, too kind. Jesus' Peace and Love to you as the weekend fast approaches.🥰

Testimony-Story Time: I was working with someone for sometime and helping them in the area of building of faith as they were believing God for something somewhat big (to them). It was a difficult time at times for me as a teacher and a coach of sorts as at times I became impatient with their unbelief (not showing it outwardly) as my student of sorts struggled with prolonged unbelief and was very vocal about it. Then the day came and all glory be to God, they received what they had so earnestly desired. I rejoiced as though it happened to me. I have flaws that God is working on but jealousy is not something that I suffer from as I am generally a very secure person. The time came when they began to share their testimony and they left me completely out . A worldly temptation arose within me for a brief moment: the desire to be acknowledged and God spoke to my heart very quickly and said if they reward you with their praise, that is your reward. I will bless you! Now I am not the type of person to necessarily care whether I am thanked/acknowledged or not but I must admit that time, I felt dismissed because of all the effort that was put in.
LESSON: Do not seek for men to bless you when doing spiritual/God's work. In those cases, you are working for God and He gives the reward or increase. Is there something wrong with receiving human blessing? No, but do not let this be your focus or your end goal. Great is your reward in heaven and in many cases in the earth from God in this lifetime! Should you withhold your gifts to "punish' others for not thanking you. The answer is a hard NO. As Mordecai told Esther, "If you hold your peace, deliverance will come to God's people from somewhere else". Time well spent and lessons well learnt. (NOTE TO THE READER: This testimony story time is not meant for the intention of shading or offending anyone, so receive it, if you can with peace, grace and love). I love you lots, Delana.

Ps. These AI apps really be changing up people photos in these streets. Lol

God is saying to someone that He is a SUSTAINER. Just believe and receive, if you know that you have been waiting on God in a particular area(s) of your life and you believe this word is for you. Do not worry and do not fear. Blessings of faith, peace, hope and love.
