Sweet goodness

Am sorry It’s been a while since I have posted on my blog, I’ve had some interesting things happen, am ready to share with you all the goodness of God. I want to share some stories with you as a testament to what God is doing in our life and what He wants to do in yours.

God is Good all the time and all the time God is Good. I say that because I mean it. The past few months God has been so good to us. He has taken care of us. God has given us some new friends who are real with a real passion for Jesus and we have received new gifts as well. A long time ago God told me he will give me a Fender guitar and my mother wrote it down in her diary. God gave Ashley and me some new and awesome friends who we met for lunch a few weeks back, and they invited us to their home we went and guess what – they gave us a brand new fender guitar I could not believe it! We left their house got in the car and God reminded me that I should pray for them as we were driving away. I told Ashley that God told me to me pray for them so Ashley quickly turned around we went back to their house and prayed for them. At that time they did not have jobs they were young couple newly wed just got married a few weeks before that and God said they will get a job after we prayed we left. They went on a small mission trip for a camp and as soon as they came back they both got jobs! Our God is an awesome God. If I did not turn around, go back and pray for them what would have happened? I don’t know, maybe God would have still given them a job, but God wanted me to obey his voice and I saw God’s power through my obedience. It’s amazing when you obey God. We got a brand new guitar and they got awesome jobs, isn’t that amazing? God told them to give away their brand new electric guitar and they obeyed God and we saw the amazing hand of God. I also have been praying for an acoustic guitar. A family we stayed with in Lexington NC gave me an acoustic guitar, I am so blessed with it I play with it everyday, I was also given a Djembe which I didn’t even ask for, it was a long time ago but I thought I’d mention it when am talking about the Goodness of God.

The past few months we haven’t had many opportunities to speak in different churches so we were running short on money in our account. We were coming down to zero. We started praying and suddenly somebody sent some money in our paypal account and that family had decided to give 5% of their income and it was the exact amount that we prayed for. we were amazed by God’s goodness. God is so Good all the time and all the time God is Good.

I have some more cool stories to share with you, I have been waking up and praying and seeking God. I got up and prayed for some clothes a few weeks ago. I was invited to speak in a few churches so I prayed and asked God saying, “God I need some formal shirts and pants.” After a week or two a pastor in town he and his wife called my wife on the phone and said, “can you and Barnabas meets us at a store?” We said yes and we reached there that evening wondering why the Pastor and his wife wanted to meet us. When they arrived there they told me the Lord told me to get you some clothes. Wow isn’t that amazing? They bought me 3 shirts and 2 pairs of pants and even pairs of 2 shoes for my wife. Isn’t it wonderful how God takes care of our needs? When you obey God’s voice he takes care. God called us to be missionaries and we obeyed and God is taking care of our needs. The pastor obeyed the voice of God and I was blessed and so then I was ready to speak in a church the next Sunday. I was so exited. It is so amazing to see how God leads you and guides you. I went to the church and I preached. God moved in an awesome way many people were touched by the power the Holy Spirit that Sunday morning.

From the time I got married, I have been telling my wife Ashley to write songs. She has the gift to write songs and lead worship. She is so blessed that if she hears a song once she can remember the song for life. I can’t, it is so hard and different for me. I have been telling her and encouraging her to write songs , in the past before we got married she has written some songs of her own and also co-written with her friends but she had stopped. So I starting praying for her and encouraging her in the past few months she has written 3 awesome songs and in the past few days she has written 10 songs in an hour and a half so God is so good he has been pouring our his anointing on her to write songs. So now she is ready to record and make an album, God has brought some friends who are willing to help her out to record, how amazing is that? God is real and his love for us real, he loves us. God is Good all the Time and all the Time God is Good.

This week take time to think about his Goodness.
