Recently, I stumbled upon a beautiful song by Timi Dakolo titled Nothing Dey Spoil For God Hand. It struck a deep chord in my heart—so much so that I had to play it repeatedly, dancing joyfully to the music. It’s amazing how a melody can capture a truth we’ve always known: God with us.
The idea of God with us isn’t just a Christmas sentiment or a theological concept to me; it’s a personal reality. Life can be messy, unpredictable, and full of challenges, but the assurance of God’s presence makes all the difference – always!
For me, ‘God with us’ means having a steady hand to guide me through life’s uncertainties, trials and tribulations when in fact it might not feel like it at every moment. Many times the storm of life is strong and the sailing is quite rough and we feel like we are lost and swallowed up. But in hindsight, when the storm is finally calm, it becomes clear that God was with us all along helping me to navigate through the challenges of life.
His presence had kept me from stumbling even when I had leaned unto my own understanding thereby making errors in judgements, in decisions and my choices in life. However God doesn’t just watch from the sidelines. He turns my errors, my imperfections and shortcomings into spring boards for greater success.
God with us doesn’t translate to the absence of trials and tribulations, it simply means that even in the midst of the tribulations, we should be of God cheer, cause he has conquered the world.
The phrase God with us – Emmanuel – is far from a cliché. He isn’t distant or uninvolved.
He’s right here, walking beside me, whispering wisdom when I’m unsure, holding me up when I feel like I might fall.
What about you? Do you believe He’s right there with you as well?
No matter what you’re facing today, never allow anything make you doubt His presence.
Be rest assured: God is with you.
And that’s more than enough.
Happy new month, Great People.
Love always❤️
No matter how Dark the street, in my fear and troubles, there’s always a comfort that as long as I’m for Christ I’m coming out Refined
This is my confidence that “God is With us” and if God be for us nothing can be against us,💪
