Here I am.
Jobless for many months with no career prospect, no chance of having a family and my zero financial state compared to most people I know of.
I was highly concerned for my future for many months. Now my situation has come to a boiling point. But I was also boiling within me …by the Holy Spirit in my heart!
Some of my greatest experiences came after God put me in very humbling situations. In this series of special daily devotional times, I became very close to God.
In this particular afternoon, a sudden tangible, acute cool, running peace flowed downwards on the left side of my chest. It lasted a few seconds.
I instantly knew that this peace was from the river of life in heaven.
I don’t how I knew, I just knew.
I remember during my teenage school days. My schoolmates and I used to play football on Saturday mornings. We played until the sun came up. When the heat turned unbearable, one of us would take-off running to the school toilet.
The rest of us would know what this means: the first who got to the one-and-only tap of running water gets to enjoy the cool feeling first.
We quenched our thirst. The most memorable part was the feeling of cool water slipping down our lips and running down our neck.
That peace from the river of life in heaven – felt just like that.
God was showing and assuring me that my eternal future was secured. And what was more important than my earthly security, was my heavenly security.
