To God be all the Glory for this Award, presented to COH by Isaiah of Joie de Vivre   and I dedicate it to the Holy Ghost who give me strength to persevere It is funny how 4 out of 5 awards I have ... I received from Isaiah , I ask why does he always have to think about me? God bless Him in Jesus Mighty Name Amen. I appreciate him so much for all he is doing for COH . . .such kindness is rear "well am speaking for myself and I don't take things for granted." The Perseverance award is to “… acknowledge those blogger's who have invested their very life in their blogs so as to encourage, build and warn others.” Just yesterday night my husband wanted to stop me from using the computer just because he was watching  CNN's Cafferty File   they where running a poll on Internet addiction and all the signs of mental illness that comes with browsing and spending countless hours on the Internet , while He was accusing me that I manifested all the signs of these, anywa...

Even though I clutch my blanket and growl when the alarm rings, thank you, Lord, that I can hear. There are many who are deaf. Even though I keep my eyes closed against the morning light as long as possible, thank you, Lord, that I can see. Many are blind. Even though I huddle in my bed and put off rising, thank you, Lord, that I have the strength to rise. There are many who are bedridden. Even though the first hour of my day is hectic, when socks are lost, toast is burned and tempers are short, my children are so loud, thank you, Lord, for my family. There are many who are lonely. Even though our breakfast table never looks like the pictures in magazines and the menu is at times unbalanced, thank you, Lord, for the food we have. There are many who are hungry. Even though the routine of my job often is monotonous, thank you, Lord, for the opportunity to work. There are many who have no job. Even though I grumble and bemoan my fate from day to da...

I asked God to take away my pride. God said "No". It is not for me to take away, but for you to give it up. I asked God to make my handicapped child whole. God said "No". Her spirit was whole, her body was only temporary. I asked God to grant me patience. God said "No". Patience is a by-product of tribulations; it isn't granted, it is earned. I asked God to give me happiness. God said "No". I give you blessings, happiness is up to you. I asked God to spare me pain. God said "No". Suffering draws you apart from worldly cares and brings you closer to me. I asked God to make my spirit grow. God said "No". You must grow on your own, but I will prune you to make you fruitful. I asked for all things that I might enjoy life. God said "No". I will give you life so that you may enjoy all things. I ask God to help me LOVE others, as much as he loves me. God said... Ahhhh, finally you have the idea!   Godbless Cha...

Unknown Author   Woke up this morning to watch the breaking of a new day that the lord has made. Ah the beauty of God's creation is beyond my description. As I watched, I praised God  for his beautiful work. As I sat there, I felt the lord's presence with me. He asked me, "Do you love me?" I answered, "of course, God! you are my lord and savior!" Then he asked, "if you were physically handicapped, would you still love me?" I was perplexed, I looked down upon my arms,legs and the rest of my body and wondered how many things i wouldn't be able to do, the things that I took for granted.And i answered, "it would be tough lord, but i would still love you." Then the lord said,"if you were blind,would you still love my creation?  How could i love something without being able to see it? Then i thought of  all the blind people in the world and how many of them still loved  God and his creation. So I answered,"it's hard to think o...

As far as am concerned this is pure rebellion and foolishness by Oprah and the rest of them carrying on about their so called "faith". I think you should take time and read this News article below, though I have read so many of them, that has thrown some light on these disturbing trend that I find repulsive. . . the thing is I wouldn't want to go in to it as the author of this blog Discern it Kimolsen has done a great job on her blog to bring to light the works of these satanic agents trying to deceive the very elect of God. meanwhile go through this if you are interested. but if you don't want to read any long article, I have summarized a few of their teachings below so you could get a little understanding on how they are trying to "lead the sheep astray" by their false teachings.

1) The best vitamin for a Christian is B1 2) Under same management for over 2000 years 3) Try Jesus. If you don't like Him, the devil will always take you back 4) Soul food served here 5) You can give without loving but you cannot love without giving 6) Never give the devil a ride. He will always want to drive 7) Reputation is what people think about you. Character is what people know you are 8) Don't give up. Moses was once a basket case! 9) Come early for a good Back seat 10) Seven days without prayer makes one weak 11) No Jesus - no peace, Know Jesus - know peace! 12) Worry is interest paid on trouble before it is due   Godbless Channelofhealing

Good Sermon After a very long and boring sermon the parishioners filed out of the church saying nothing to the preacher. Towards the end of the line was a thoughtful person who always commented on the sermons."Pastor, today your sermon reminded me of the peace and love of God!" The pastor was thrilled. "No-one has ever said anything like that about my preaching before. Tell me why." "Well - it reminded me of the Peace of God because it passed all understanding and the Love of God because it endured forever!" Flattered Minister A pastor was leaving his area and was saying farewell to his congregation at the Church doors for the last time. He shook the hand of an elderly lady as she walked out. She said "Your successor won't be as good as you." "Nonsense", said the pastor, in a flattered tone. "No, really", said the old lady, "I've been here under five different ministers, and each new one has been worse than t...

Beloved, Sometimes we get carried away with the stress of life, that we forget the Goodness of God. we forget the one and only Savior who loved us while we were nothing, I have a question for you today; Do you ever stopped to think of the ever flowing Goodness of God in your life? or Do you spend time complaining about what you have and don't have? Do you still sit all year long pondering over the past failures and mistakes? well I ve got some great news for you! My God is a very loving God. I want to tell you that no matter what you are going through, God is there for you. I tell you boldly today that he will never leave you nor forsake you, whether in times of plenty and drought; when you call on Him in times of need be rest assured that He will be there for you always.  I trust in Him always, He has never failed me. . . I urge you to give all to Jesus today and watch a turn around in your situation today. God is Good all the time!!! Meanwhile I leave you with this wonderful p...

Beloved brothers and Sisters in Christ Jesus here is what I thought is a Great outlook on love/marriage. Enjoy! This is kind of long, but it makes some interesting points. By Rabbi Dov Heller, M.A . With the divorce rate over 50%, too many are apparently making a serious mistake in deciding who to spend the rest of their life with. To avoid becoming a "statistic," try to internalize 10 insights. 1. You pick the wrong person because you expect him/her to change after you're married . The classic mistake. Never marry potential. The golden rule is, if you can't be happy with the person the way he or she is now, don't get married. As a colleague of mine so wisely put it, "You actually can expect people to change after their married...for the worst!" So when it comes to the other person's spirituality, character, personal hygiene, communication skills, and personal habits, make sure you can live with these as they are now. 2. You pick the wrong pers...

Before U were thought of or time had begun, God even stuck U in the name of His Son. And each time U pray, you'll see it's true You can't spell out JesUs and not include U. You're a pretty big part of His wonderful name, For U, He was born; that's why He came. And His great love for U is the reason He died. It even takes U to spell crUcified. Isn't it thrilling and splendidly grand He rose from the dead, with U in His plan. The stones split away, the gold trUmpet blew, and this word resUrrection is spelled with a U. When JesUs left earth at His upward ascension, He felt there was one thing He just had to mention. Go into the world and tell them it's true That I love them all - Just like I love U. So many great people are spelled with a U, Don't they have a right to know JesUs too? It all depends now on what U will do, He'd like them to know But it all starts with U. Author Unknown

ANOTHER WAY TO WIN Kay Poe and Esther Kim have been best friends since they were seven years old. Among other things they have in common, the two young ladies from Houston both compete at the highest levels in taekwondo. How good are they? Esther and Kay advanced to the finals in the Women's Olympic Flyweight division at the 2000 U.S. Olympic Team Trials on May 20 in Colorado Springs. "I don't think of her as just a friend. I think of her more as a sister," Kay says. "We've grown up together, and we always push each other and help each other out the best we can training wise." What a story was unfolding! Reporters and photographers were poised to record the outcome of so intense a competition between two girls who have been close for so long. But a sports story would soon be overshadowed by a far more important friendship story. Kay had dislocated her left kneecap in her semi-final match of the round robin tournament. Though ranked number one in the w...

How can anybody who calls on the name of the most High God, do this? I mean, Impregnating a lady and asking her to have an abortion right in the church office... I know you are thinking she wants to tell another story... This is no story, this happened yesterday as my husband went to visit our pastor in the Church. (I say God sent him there at the right time)  will stop here for now don't want to give out most of the info until I have heard from my fellow Christian Brothers and Sisters on their take on this issue at hand. Cos my husband is shaking he is confused doesn't know what to do, he thought they were close... I said obviously not close enough for him not to know this part of the pastor, He wants to confront him...  I said No Ways! Now am asking should he confront Him? or should he go to the church headquarters and report him so that another pastor would be brought to the branch? or should he keep quiet and let him keep deceiving other Children of God as he had deceived...

The Pastor, the Vicar, and the Atheist One day a Pastor, a Vicar and an Atheist go on a fishing trip together. They are in the boat and the Pastor says," Oh! No! I left the paddles on shore!" So he proceeds to get out of the boat and walk on the water to the shore to get them. Once he had gotten back into the boat the Vicar says," Oh! No! I left the bait on shore too!" And like the Pastor the Vicar exits the boat and walks on the water to get the bait. When the Vicar climbs back into the boat the atheist yells," Well if you guys can do it so can I!!!" and proceeds to climb out of the boat, but he falls into the water. At this point the Pastor says," Do you think we should have told him where the rocks are?"   The Angry Atheist The story is told of the Atheist who accosted a preacher. "Do you believe in eternal life?" The preacher has no time to reply. "Well its a load of rubbish!" shouted the Atheist. "I believe in sci...

A LITTLE GIRLS PRAYERS One night I had worked hard to help a mother in the labor ward; but inspite of all we could do she died leaving us with a tiny premature baby and a crying two-year-old daughter. We would have difficulty keeping the baby alive, as we had no incubator (we had no electricity to run an incubator) and no special feeding facilities. Although we lived on the equator, nights were often chilly with treacherous drafts. One student midwife went for the box we had for such babies and the cotton wool the baby would be wrapped in. Another went to stoke up the fire and fill a hot water bottle. She came back shortly in distress to tell me that in filling the bottle, it had burst. Rubber perishes easily in tropical climates. "And it is our last hot water bottle!" she exclaimed. As in the West it is no good crying over spilled milk, so in Central Africa it might be considered no good crying over burst water bottles. They do not grow on trees, and there are no drugsto...

  Did you know that an eagle knows when a storm is approaching long before it breaks? The eagle will fly to some high spot and wait for the winds to come. When the storm hits, it sets its wings so that the wind will pick it up and lift it above the storm. While the storm rages below, the eagle is soaring above it. The eagle does not escape the storm. It simply uses the storm to lift it higher. It rises on the winds that bring the storm. When the storms of life come upon us - and all of us will experience them - we can rise above them by setting our minds and our belief toward God. The storms do not have to overcome us. We can allow God's power to lift us above them. God enables us to ride the winds of the storm that bring sickness, tragedy, failure and disappointment in our lives. We can soar above the storm. Remember, it is not the burdens of life that weigh us down, it is how we handle them. Godbless Channelofhealing

It has really been a very tough 3 months for me but the Lord was with me, so I cannot complain. Am Grateful to God for everything He did and is doing in my life... oftentimes We complain about the cross we bear but don't realize it is preparing us for the dip in the road that God can see and we can't. Whatever your cross, whatever your pain, there will always be sunshine, after the rain.... Perhaps you may stumble, perhaps even fall; But God's always ready, to answer your call.... He knows every heartache, sees every tear, a word from His lips, can calm every fear... Your sorrows may linger, throughout the night, But suddenly vanish, dawn's early light... The Savior is waiting, somewhere above, to give you His grace, and send you His love... God promises a safe landing, not a calm passage. Godbless Channelofhealing

  A certain man planted a rose and watered it faithfully and before it blossomed, he examined it. He saw the bud that would soon blossom, but noticed thorns upon the stem and he thought, "How can any beautiful flower come from a plant burdened with so many sharp thorns? Saddened by this thought, he neglected to water the rose, and just before it was ready to bloom... it died.  So it is with many people. Within every soul there is a rose. The God-like qualities planted in us at birth, grow amid the thorns of our faults. Many of us look at ourselves and see only the thorns, the defects. We despair, thinking that nothing good can possibly come from us. We neglect to water the good within us, and eventually it dies. We never realize our potential. Some people do not see the rose within themselves; someone else must show it to them. One of the greatest gifts a person can possess is to be able to reach past the thorns of another, and find the rose within them. This is one of t...
