Got home after the lunch at Caro (God bless her!!) just a while ago around 5pm and found g on Kiss TV the TED program during which some professor talking about planet Mars.
As we all know the earth goes round in an orbit. There are many other body masses out there going round in an orbit.
Picture this. The earth and all the other body masses go round in an orbit (Each has a different time to go round the sun!!)
Now the amazing part is that the rest of area is empty (not really empty but void of liquid and solids)
Immediately a thought came into my MIND for a sec or two that I got scared. I was wondering what would happen if the earth suddenly decided to stop going round in an orbit but instead descend (free fall) to a speed you can sense it!!
Then I remembered this song that goes like...he holds the whole world in his hands..
This got me happy.
It reminded me of the battle that Joy is going through.. The world of our imagination may not be visible but its effects are so real!
Take for example the emotion of fear (Dread, worry etc)
It causes one to have;
1. Rapid heart beat
2. Sweating
3. Trembling
4. Panic attacks
5. Prolonged period of fear can even lead to sleeplessness, loss of appetite which later leads to extreme fatigue and in extreme cases depression.
This is like a vicious cycle. You start worrying about the manifestation of fear. You worry about why you are fatigued, why can’t sleep!!! In short you start fearing fear itself!! The worst part is that you want it to stop but you feel powerless
I do not know what is going on in Joy’s mind… But it is evident it is taking a toll on her strength. My take is this, we should identify what emotion or thoughts she is battling with (to know the spirit behind it) and we directly confront it… While it is important to treat the manifestations of them (Loss of appetite, scary dreams, hallucinations, fatigue, pains esp in joints, muscles etc)…the root cause must be dealt with.
I did watch a show This Your Day program awhile back and some doctor was saying that sometimes a long period of not eating well causes chemical imbalance in our brain. This leads to essential hormones in our bodies to be depleted. This causes a lot of problems. So while we are so busy worrying to the point that we can’t eat well, we are giving an edge to the enemy to torment us further.
She may not be in a position to fight well but am glad she is not aloneJ. She has us!
Last year I struggled with fear (dread). It was so intense that it just wore me out. It lead to fatigue, loss of appetite, sleeplessness etc. Thank God I had family of believers who knew how to pray.
The process in getting well was not instant, but progressively the manifestations of healing were there. I started working long hours, driving long hours, handling demanding issues at work etc. The amazing thing is that I am handling greater responsibilities at my workplace than before last year. Talk of double for trouble…beauty for ashes.
Pray we must…and victory we must see. She is not called Joy for no reason!!
Being in the ushering department this year has taught me something that I am sure will not leave my mind…. That I am so unique and special to God… Not only do I have an assurance of eternity in heaven but that I have a purpose to fulfill on earth. I love to listen to the amazing revelations I get from each and every usher. Just to name one special, loving, amazing, gifted anointed brother and of course the billionaire, my HOD…the big boss, Sir Dickson (Almost sounds like am a politician or an MC hehe).. your talks are just the best..of course can’t forget the MOG Sir Evans.
Above all Joy is blessed, she's a conquerer, i mean she is all that God has said she is.
Let us help her believe that she can do all things through Christ who strengthenes her. She also needs to be encouraged to make a choice and just start praising every minute rather than show that she is down and almost out.
I pray and believe that Joy shall see God in her life very soon.
