*I AM ALIVE TODAY ONLY BY THE MERCY OF GOD…*
Yesterday, I received a heart breaking news of the death of an acquaintance💔😭. She was someone popular that I have met a few times.
This impactful woman died barely a week after her 20th wedding anniversary, due to post surgery complications(excessive bleeding), leaving behind a loving husband, her beautiful children, family members, friends and tons of people that are under her mentorship, all heartbroken 💔. Since that yesterday, I have been praying to God to please comfort her family and loved ones and help them find peace in Him.
At the same time, this incident brought me back on my knees (though I do that often), in appreciation to God for the life He has given me by His mercy 🙇🏼🙌🏼.
The life I leave now is borrowed on God’s mercy… because the exact same thing that killed that amazing woman, was what God saved me from on the 22nd Dec, 2024.
I had undergone a fibroid operation for the 3rd time, but this time around, the case was way more complicated than the previous two, so much so that I was rejected by 2 hospitals
Infact, I had bled before the surgery to the point that my blood level reduced to 7%, I was as pale as snowwhite and could barely walk. I was transfused about 3 pants of blood weeks before the surgery to keep me alive.
The doctors asked that we deposit 4 pants of blood for the surgery but due to excessive bleeding during the surgery, I ended up taking 6 pants and the mercy of God 😭.
Please don’t get me wrong, I’m not saying that, God’s mercy is not available for this woman, of course, His mercies are available to everyone of His children, all I am saying is that I am just super grateful to God 🙌🏼.
I don’t know the whole story of this woman’s cause of death but I know that whatever happens God is still God and we cannot question Him.
In my own case, I know how I prayed and fasted for the fibroid to shrink or disappear like some of the testimonies I hear, but that never happened.
God still allowed me go through that painful experience, but when I look back now, I know exactly why He did… so that I can have a personal supernatural encounter with Him and that His name be glorified 🙌🏼.
So when you view my WhatsApp status every morning and see “Up, Grateful…”, just know that .. I AM LIVING A BORROWED LIFE OF THE MERCIES OF GOD, and I will forever be grateful for that divine privilege 🙇🏼🙌🏼✋🏼
To everyone reading this, remember that the life you have and live is by the grace and mercy of God, use it to serve God, do good and be kind to others so that in the end you will enjoy eternal life seated with Christ in heavenly places.
Shalom!
