I dreamt that I went to Heaven and an angel was showing me around.We walked side-by-side inside a large workroom filled with angels.
My angel guide stopped in front of the first section and said,"This is the Receiving Section. Here, all petitions to God said in prayer are received."I looked around in this area, and it was terribly busy with so many angels sorting out petitions written on voluminous paper sheets and scraps from people all over the world.
Then we moved on down a long corridor until we reached the second section. The angel then said to me, "This is the Packaging and Delivery Section.Here, the graces and blessings the people asked for are processed and delivered to the living persons who asked for them."I noticed again how busy it was there. There were many angels working hard in that station, since so many blessings had been requested and were being packed for delivery to Earth.
Finally at the farthest end of the long corridor we stopped at the door of a very small station. To my great surprise, only one angel was seated there, idly doing nothing.
"This is the acknowledgement Section," my angel friend quietly admitted to me. He seemed embarrassed."How is it that there's no work going on here?" I asked."So sad," the angel sighed. "After people receive the blessings that they asked for, very few send back acknowledgements".
"How does one acknowledge God's blessings?" I asked."Simple," the angel answered.
"Just say, "Thank you, Lord'.
"What blessings should we acknowledge?
'If you have food in the refrigerator, clothes on your back, a roof overhead and a place to sleep ... you are richer than 75% of this world.
"If you have money in the bank, in your wallet, and spare change in a dish, you are among the top 8% of the worlds wealthy."
And if you get this on your own computer, you are part of the 1% in the world who has that opportunity."
Also ..."If you woke up this morning with more health than illness... you are more blessed than the many who will not even survive this day."
"If you have never experienced the fear in battle, the loneliness of imprisonment, the agony of torture, or the pangs of starvation ...you are ahead of 700 million people in the world."
"If you can attend Church, Mosque or any religious meeting without fear of harassment, arrest, torture or death ... you are envied by, and more blessed than, three billion people in the world.
If you can hold your head up and smile, you are not the norm, you are unique to all those in doubt and despair.
"If you can read this message, you just received a double blessing in that someone was thinking of you as very special, and, you are more blessed than over two billion people in the world who cannot read at all.
Have a good day, nd count your blessings. " Remember your Lord has declared that, 'If you are grateful then I (HE) will add more favours unto you'".
Attn: Acknowledge Dept.:"Thank You Lord! Thank you Lord, for giving me the ability to share this message and for giving me so many wonderful people to share it with."

A church should be a place where can communicate to God in one accord...
A church should be a place where i can talk to my fellow bethren or my pastor about my life problems without being backstabbed....
A church should be a place that will not judge me for past my actions....
A church should be a place that is free of bacbitters,that only worry about other pple,nd not their own problems.
A church should be a place that is used for the center of salvation,nd not center of making money....
A church should be a place that when am told I LOVE YOU...nd they should mean it.
A church should be a place where i can sing,nd express my feelings freely to my God without sister jane being jealous of me.
A church should be a place that is clique free....If you are not in my cool clique, am free to backbite nd say horrible things about you.
A church should be a place that self worth should be the last thing to think about.
There are many more things going on in churches all over the world that's not even meant to be.
Are we really working for the salvation of our souls,or for the salvation of human approval?
One of my favorite song writers wrote nd sang a song saying: When everything is going on smooth nd fine for you....be careful,bcos very few pple are happy with you progress. Who are the very few pple? The pple that are smiling to your face,nd yet they are wishing you the worst scenario, or pple that dnt show you their eye service expression,but still they wish you the best.
Sometimes i think to myself are we really christians?
I know we are not perfect,but what are you doing to get better?
"For I know the plans I have for you..plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future. Then you will call on me and come and pray to me, and I will listen to you. You will seek me and find me when you seek me with all your heart." Jeremiah 29:11-13
A teenage girl about 17 had gone to visit some friends one evening and time passed quickly as each shared their various experiences of the past year.
She ended up staying longer than planned, and had to walk home alone.
She wasn't afraid because it was a small town and she lived only a few blocks away.
As she walked along under the tall elm trees, Diane asked God to keep her safe from harm and danger.
When she reached the alley, which was a short cut to her house, she decided to take it.
However, halfway down the alley she noticed a man standing at the end as though he were waiting for her.
She became uneasy and began to pray, asking for God's protection.
Instantly a comforting feeling of quietness and security wrapped round her, she felt as though someone was walking with her.
When she reached the end of the alley, she walked right past the man and arrived home safely.
The following day, she read in the newspaper that a young girl had been raped in the same alley just twenty minutes after she had been there.
Feeling overwhelmed by this tragedy and the fact that it could have been her, she began to weep.
Thanking the Lord for her safety and to help this young woman, she decided to go to the police station.She felt she could recognize the man, so she told them her story.
The police asked her if she would be willing to look at a lineup to see if she could identify him.
She agreed and immediately pointed out the man she had seen in the alley the night before.
When the man was told he had been identified, he immediately broke down and confessed.
The officer thanked Diane for her bravery and asked if there was anything they could do for her.
She asked if they would ask the man one question.
Diane was curious as to why he had not attacked her.
When the policeman asked him, he answered, "Because she wasn't alone. She had two tall men walking on either side of her.
"Amazingly, whether you believe or not, you're never alone.
Good Friday!!!, Holy Friday!!!, the friday that Jesus said on the cross." It is finished ". I wonder sometimes, what does it take for someone to die for me, to go through all kinds of mockery, suffering, just because of love. Who can ever LOVE me like dis? None. I still wonder why the LORD will pray for the people, that crucified him. The Holy Book Of John chapter 17: vs: 15-26.
15. "I do not ask You to take them out of the world, but to keep them from the evil one. 16. "They are not of the world, even as I am not of the world. 17. "Sanctify them in the truth; Your word is truth. 18. "As You sent Me into the world, I also have sent them into the world. 19. "For their sakes I sanctify Myself, that they themselves also may be sanctified in truth. 20. "I do not ask on behalf of these alone, but for those also who believe in Me through their word; 21. that they may all be one; even as You, Father, are in Me and I in You, that they also may be in Us, so that the world may believe that You sent Me. 22. "The glory which You have given Me I have given to them, that they may be one, just as We are one; 23. I in them and You in Me, that they may be perfected in unity, so that the world may know that You sent Me, and loved them, even as You have loved Me. 24. "Father, I desire that they also, whom You have given Me, be with Me where I am, so that they may see My glory which You have given Me, for You loved Me before the foundation of the world. 25. "O righteous Father, although the world has not known You, yet I have known You; and these have known that You sent Me; 26. and I have made Your name known to them, and will make it known, so that the love with which You loved Me may be in them, and I in them."
Can you still love someone despite all the hatred they have shown you? In my own words i pray God should give me the sprit of forgiveness. What about you?
