What A Time To Be Alive!

-
In all of this COVID19 craze, I just want to honour our mother.   

Globally the churches in this pandemic have gathered and prayed Psalm 91 over the world.  

What a time to be alive! 

I feel comforted by it all because our mother made us learn it and say it over ourselves veisiga kece e bulia na Kalou (every single day of our lives). Of course there are times when it was said out of boredom and routine BUT all in all  reaping its favourable results. 

Harm may have come our way over the years but we're still here - surviving. Shame may have tried its course but never succeeded. Death may have thought to wear us out but it never kept us down.  Fear gripping us by the neck, but never lasted its course. 

She will never have to prove herself because she was busy long preparing her household from harm.  Mothers are a gift! 

We stand tall and firm in our faith grip because while the world was teaching us how to earn a living, she was instilling in us the ONLY thing that never changes - the Word.  Cos when all else have failed, His Word remains. 


She is clothed with strength and dignity;
    she can laugh at the days to come.
Proverbs 31


The world screams forth a virus!
We look ahead unattracted
The world threatens our movements 
We see opportunities 
The world disrupts our gatherings
We gather creatively - our thoughts, our stories, revelations!
The world highlights the troubles
we proclaim a Good Father
The world looks on in fear
we hold up our peers
The world is failing its system
we show them the true kingdom
A kingdom where love prevails 
above all else

That love prevails. 


Here's a song that's been my anthem for the past few weeks, I believe in wholeheartedly: 




Valentine by Hillsong Worship 

VERSE 1: From Your sacrifice for the sake of all Redemption's birth and relentless hope As the weight of grace crushed the face of love AndYou bled and died for Your enemies VERSE 2: To woo us back from death and woe A valentine to a faithless world Every wayward heart You pursue us all And in kindness call us home CHORUS: This world is Yours My God this world is Yours All You made to be Yours I know You love us all VERSE 3: Your agape love displaces fear And the plan is working heaven's near For the kingdom comes to the heart That whispers Have mercy God on me CHORUS 2: This world is Yours My God this world is Yours All You made to be Yours I know You love us all All this world is Yours My God this world is Yours All You made to be Yours I know You love us all BRIDGE: You reign forever You reign forevermore My heart surrendered You reign forevermore
For such a time as this. 

Love,
Dilz

Doing It Anyway

For some reason, I thought I needed to be out of the woods of this process to be able to tell the story. At least a proper one where my emotions are not in the way. The danger of doing it anyway is you feeling the rawness of the rage, the hurt, the heartbreak, the bitterness.  But I want to stay alive and telling the story helps me do that. Not for likes and follows and shares, but to simply stay alive.  Cue tears.  There's this misconception among Christians sometimes that nothing bad happens to us if we believe in Jesus. You know because God is good all the time and  Great things He has done. I'm not writing to imply those aren't true. I just want to tell my story.  This blog has been about my journey. Testimonies of God's faithfulness in grief, suffering and celebrating life and milestones. And so the journey continues.  Here's what I've been dealt with: a relationship that I love(d) where he wanted to marry me ..... and then he didn't, the morning of....

Imagine a girl growing up in a safe little good Christian home. Key words: safe, good and CHRISTIAN.  I start here because when the environment in your development stages in life is safe, good and Christian, your views and ideas about life is very limited. Limited to only good things. It's not bad and I'm not ungrateful but I say limited because I had no idea how to cope when bad things happened to me because it was a foreign concept and that it was even possible to happen to me in the first place. God was my protector I was taught and I should be immune to bad things?  I look back and see trauma happened one after the other for me in my 20s and now 30s that I guess is where my safety net comes in. My safety net being how I was raised as default - prayer, Bible and family with phrases like, "just pray about it!"   Great stuff but does not negate the fact that I was raised to believe that God is good all the time and for a kid that was raised in that environment, unco...

Steve Penny Prophecy for Fiji! PROPHECY BY STEVE PENNY AT CENTRAL CHRISTIAN CENTRE, Nausori, Fiji - Monday,3 November,1997 "This nation shall experience a cloud of the glory of God, the anointing coming down upon this nation like a thick cloud filled with rain , filled with great potential and it will come down and it will blanket all of the islands like a cloud and it won't come and just wash across and go, but it will settle and it will continue to fall ...the rain of God's presence will fall on this nation in a powerful way. And the reviving of the Spirit…literally within five years, this nation will be awash with a great Revival. One side to another, this nation will literally be under the blanket of a move of the Spirit of God like you've never seen before. Just about every denomination will be touched...only those that are very, very resistant will hold out against it, but whole denominations will be swept into this move of the Spirit. There'll be un...
