Last week I had severe backache, admitted to hospital in the middle of the night. When it come to backache, it make me hopeless because any posture that slightly not 'chun' it really trigger the pain.I was on strong medication plus injection, i slept almost ALL the time even when nurse came in to check blood pressure i just couldn't open my eyes . I was tough to have a verse to proclaim over and over and believe for healing but i even do not have the time to get up to grab the plate of food that was served in front of me, guess what it is western food-chicken chop with all my favorite side dishes. That time, all that is in me only can function one thing-SLEEP!
Praise God! I was discharged after staying 4 days, finally i am home. Again, i was sleeping round the clock. I couldn't follow proper meal time, simply just couldn't get out of sleep. I passed meal time and i can hear some noises from my stomach and i will start cooking and when i am done with my cooking... Oh my goodness... i can't eat it because i was cooking in dream!
Any position, i got to conscious that any part of my body feel any numbness? If yes, i got to go back to hospital immediately as it is a sign that my main nerve is press. I was in bad time don't you think so? Sometimes, some moment or a season in our life we went through both good and bad time.
I received this article in my mail box that had added strength to my days, here i would like to share it with you. It's from Pastor Joseph Prince, New Creation Church.
In 1 Kings 20, we find the Syrians being defeated by the Israelites. Then, some of the Syrian king’s advisers gave the king what they thought was the reason for their defeat. They said that they had fought on the hills and lost because Israel’s God is the God of the hills. So if they were to fight the Israelites on the plains or in the valleys, they would win.
What stupid advice! They thought that the God of Israel only helped His people up in the hills and mountains, and not down in the valleys.
Now, mountains refer to our good times, and valleys, our bad times. Some people have this idea that God is the God of our good times, but He is not there when we are going through bad times. They think that He leaves us helpless in the valleys, especially when the troubles are of our own making.
My friend
, I want you to know that our God is the God of the mountains, but He is also the God of the valleys!
God the Son laid aside His crown of glory, His royal majesty and came down for us, stepping into a human body as a baby. He came down to where we were for the sole purpose of dying on the cross for our sins, so that He could bring us up to what God the Father has for us at His right hand. Jesus came down to crown us with glory and honor, to clothe us with robes of righteousness and make us His bride, sharing everything that He has with us. That is the grace of God. He came down to our valley.
So whatever you are going through right now, know that God is right there in your valley with you. He is holding you in His arms and carrying you through the valley. Victory is already yours. Just as the Israelites were also victorious in the valley (1 Kings 20:28–29), so will you be because the God of the valleys is right there with you!
Hallelujah! I already have the victory because He guards all my bones; Not one of them is broken. AMEN!!!
