DOES KNOWING THE TRUTH REALLY SET YOU FREE?

I found myself in a situation yesterday that got me asking myself, does knowing the truth really set you free? . My husband pulled a prank on me and it really got me. “Baby, am going to do something but please forgive me, no matter what happens, just know that I love you so much and my son too.” It was a text message that left me shaking. I did not know what he was going to do.
I am a human being and out of curiosity, I called him to try and get something out of him. Unfortunately, I did not manage to do so. I went to work to try and keep myself from thinking but I couldn’t. So many questions were racing through my head, what is he going to do? Is it something good or bad? Is it going to affect our marriage? Does it have anything to do with our son…?..............what if? The questions were so many until I found myself sweating.
It was only until I prayed when I found relief. I knelt down at my place of work and just said this simple prayer: Dear Lord Jesus, I do not know what my husband is going to but I trust that you are in control. Romans 8: 28 says that “And we know that God causes all things to work together for good to those who love God, to those who are called according to His purpose” Amen.
What a relief it was after that short prayer. Later on my husband told me that there was nothing and he just wanted to shake me up a bit. I felt nice. Whether he was telling me the truth or not, I chose to believe him. Actually it felt wonderful to be told the truth. The Bible says that “He who the Son sets free is free in deed.”
Jesus died for my sins, He gave me a helper, the Holy Spirit. What else can I ask for? I have eternal in through Him. Knowing the truth about God actually sets you free. Read the word and meditate on it day and night. Pray and ask God for wisdom. Proverbs 3:5-7 says “Trust in the Lord with all your heart and do not lean on your own understanding. In all your ways acknowledge Him and He will make your paths straight. Do not be wise in your own eyes: Fear the Lord and turn away from evil. It will be healing to your body and refreshment to your bones.
Remember, some prayer some power, more prayer more power and much prayer much power.
I love you all. God Bless You.

2 Kings 13:14-20a,                   14 When Elisha became sick with the illness of which he was to die, Joash the king of Israel came down to him and wept over him and said, "My father, my father, the chariots of Israel and its horsemen!"                   15 Elisha said to him, " Take a bow and arrow." So he took a bow and arrows.                   16 Then he said to the king of Israel, "Put your hand on the bow." And he put his hand on it, then Elisha laid his hands on the king's hands.                  17 He said, " Open the window toward the east, " and he opened it. Then Elisha said, "Shoot!"And he shot and he said, "The Lord's arrow of victory, even the arrow of victory over Arama; for you will defeat the Arameans at Aphek until you have destroyed them."                  18 Then he said, "Take the arrows," and he took them. And he said to the king of Israel, "Strike the ground," and he

How was your childhood? How were you treated in your family? You may have had a great upbringing; loved, taken care, full of life and happy. I had a mixture of the two. I had a great life and a bad one at the same time. I have never known who my biological dad was; maybe I may never know him till my last day on earth. Being the first born in the family, this came with responsibilities. I was the care taker of my family. It was not an easy task. In the African culture, your siblings are your responsibility; you look after them like your mother does. Wash them, cook meals for them, and clean their clothes. In the village where I grew up, we had no washing machines, no gas, and no money to buy charcoal. Everything had to be done manually. I had not time to play. It was constant work, work and work. I thank God that I was a clever child, still am. I could understand all the lessons very well in class and I didn’t struggle even when it came to the exams. I remember one day, I was take

What role do you play in your child’s life?

I boarded a train to head to work this morning, being a Monday, it is expected that we tend to oversleep and hence not be able to make it to work in time if we choose the bus. For this reason, we were really full.   I opened my Bible and started reading from the book of John. I started from chapter 1. On completion, I got an insight to continue. In Chapter 2, Jesus performed his very first miracle. It was at a wedding in Galilee. To be precise, at a place called Cana. There was much celebrations and as we know, food is mostly accompanied with drinks.   Let me quote from the NIV Bible.   John Chapter 2:1-5 On the third day, a wedding took place at Cana in Galilee. Jesus’ mother was there, and Jesus and his disciples had also been invited to the wedding. When the wine was gone, Jesus’ mother said to him, “They have no more wine.” “Dear woman, why do you involve me?” Jesus replied, “My time has not yet come.” His mother said to the servants, “Do whatever he tells you.” The
