Isaiah 58:9 MSG
Then when you pray, God will answer. You'll call out for help and I'll say, 'Here I am.'

*When God Shows Up -Day 1*

*Luke 7v11-17 MSG*
Talks about a widow, whose life was filled with losses & misery. She lived in Nain.
👇🏼
She had no name.

👉🏼Her misery was used to describe her.
👉🏼Misery had indeed wrapped itself round her like a fitted garment. She was only identified as *THE WIDOW OF NAIN*
👇🏼
She had lost her hubby, probably a few months or years back, & now, her only son was gone.😥
👇🏼
Nonetheless, this widow of
Nain proceeded to bury her only son.
👇🏼
There were people there pretending to be mourning, meanwhile, they were gossiping amongst themselves..🤷🏽‍♂️

👉🏼"When did she lose her husband that we are once again burying her only son?

👉🏼Are we sure she is not a witch?

👉🏼Is she the only
one in town?
👇🏼
From one tragedy to another.

👉🏼God must be punishing her for her sins."
👇🏼
By this time too, the grave diggers were waiting. They had completed the task of digging the sons grave, & only waiting to be paid their balance

👉🏼The mourners at the graveyard were
waiting too, but, suddenly, the Lord saw her...felt her pain & showered her with compassion.
👇🏼
*Luke 7:14 MSG*
Then He went over and touched the coffin. The pallbearers stopped. He said, "Young man, I tell you: Get up."
*Luke 7:15*
The dead son sat up and began talking.
Jesus presented him to his mother.
👇🏼
👉🏼God Himself showed up when all hope was lost.
👉🏼Then, her joy was restored.
👉🏼Then, she recovered all.
Jesus Himself did the presentation.

*And V16, really blew my mind*
👇🏼
*Luke 7:16*
They all realized they were in a place of holy
mystery, that God was at work among them. They were quietly worshipful - and then noisily grateful, calling out among themselves, "God is back, looking to the needs of His people!"

*This week;*

👉🏼Every "grave digger" will be disappointed
You will laugh last.
👉🏼You will be

Once upon a time there was a Raja named Uttānapāda born of Svayambhuva Manu,1st man on earth.He had 2 beautiful wives - Suniti & Suruchi & two sons were born of them Dhruva & Uttama respectively.

Now Suniti was the daughter of a tribal chief while Suruchi was the daughter of a rich king. Hence Suruchi was always favored the most by Raja while Suniti was ignored. But while Suniti was gentle & kind hearted by nature Suruchi was venomous inside.

The story is of a time when ideally the eldest son of the king becomes the heir to the throne. Hence the sinhasan of the Raja belonged to Dhruva.This is why Suruchi who was the 2nd wife nourished poison in her heart for Dhruva as she knew her son will never get the throne.


One day when Dhruva was just 5 years old he went on to sit on his father's lap. Suruchi, the jealous queen, got enraged and shoved him away from Raja as she never wanted Raja to shower Dhruva with his fatherly affection.


Dhruva protested questioning his step mother "why can't i sit on my own father's lap?" A furious Suruchi berated him saying "only God can allow him that privilege. Go ask him"
