NOTES OF PRAISE TO OUR AMAZING GOD FOR HIS DIVINE DELIVERANCES! THE DEVIL IS A LIAR AND CONQUERED FOE!

Some of us may not have given GOD the honor and glory for preventing the devil from creating another destruction of lives through air courier package bombs. We strongly believe that the recent discovery of the printer bombs in Dubai and East Midlands airport, UK, were GOD's protection of His beloved people!

let us thank GOD for preventing the attempt by a 23-year old Nigerian to blow up a U.S. jet on Christmas day from Amsterdam to Detroit on December 25, 2009.

let us glorify GOD for preventing the detonation of the Times Square, New York city "car bomb" on May 1, 2010.

This note of praise comes from a sister who was crossing a street with her daughter in Lagos. The daughter saw the car approaching toward them and quickly stepped back and out of the way while screaming to warn her mother. Before our sister could escape, the car had ran over her. Passersby rushed to the scene, gathered around the Toyota sedan car, lifted it up, and pulled our sister from under the car. She was rushed to the nearest hospital. But the three closest hospitals were unable to admit her because they were full. Eventually, they found a private clinic, but before any surgery could be performed on her, our sister regained consciousness and was able to call her husband and one of our Pastors and leaders, who started an intercessary prayer to the LORD for her immediate protection and deliverance. We are still amazed that our sister sustained only minor bruises from what would have been a tragic satanic attack. But, to the Glory of our Amazing and Awesome GOD, our sister returned home a week later without any broken body. And again, the devil's attempt to steal two lives was prevented because of the spiritual protection granted us through the Blood of our LORD and Savior Jesus Christ and because we are united to Him through His death on Calvary's Cross. Praise GOD! Our tiny faith is renewed in our Great God for this amazing deliverance. What our Sovereign GOD did in Bible times, He is doing the same for us all. Hallelujah! May GOD's Name continually be praised forever more! Amen. (The background song playing, "Jesus Paid It All" is one of our sister's thanksgiving hymns). The words of the hymn is provided below. Join us, please!

JESUS PAID IT ALL - Words: Elvina M. Hall - Music: John T. Grape

I hear the Savior say, “Thy strength indeed is small;
Child of weakness, watch and pray, Find in Me thine all in all.”
Refrain:
Jesus paid it all, All to Him I owe; Sin had left a crimson stain,
He washed it white as snow.

For nothing good have I Whereby Thy grace to claim;
I’ll wash my garments white In the blood of Calv’ry’s Lamb.

And now complete in Him, My robe, His righteousness,
Close sheltered ’neath His side, I am divinely blest.

Lord, now indeed I find Thy pow’r, and Thine alone,
Can change the leper’s spots And melt the heart of stone.

When from my dying bed My ransomed soul shall rise,
“Jesus died my soul to save,” Shall rend the vaulted skies.

And when before the throne I stand in Him complete,
I’ll lay my trophies down, All down at Jesus’ feet.

1 I will bless the LORD at all times; His praise shall continually be in my mouth.
2 My soul shall make its boast in the LORD; The humble shall hear of it and be glad.
3 Oh, magnify the LORD with me, And let us exalt His name together.

4 I sought the LORD, and He heard me, And delivered me from all my fears.
5 They looked to Him and were radiant, And their faces were not ashamed.
6 This poor man cried out, and the LORD heard him, And saved him out of all his troubles.
7 The angel of the LORD encamps all around those who fear Him, And delivers them.

8 Oh, taste and see that the LORD is good; Blessed is the man who trusts in Him!
9 Oh, fear the LORD, you His saints! There is no want to those who fear Him.
10 The young lions lack and suffer hunger; But those who seek the LORD shall not lack any good thing.

11 Come, you children, listen to me; I will teach you the fear of the LORD.
12 Who is the man who desires life, And loves many days, that he may see good?
13 Keep your tongue from evil, And your lips from speaking deceit.
14 Depart from evil and do good; Seek peace and pursue it.

15 The eyes of the LORD are on the righteous, And His ears are open to their cry.
16 The face of the LORD is against those who do evil, To cut off the remembrance of them from the earth.

17 The righteous cry out, and the LORD hears, And delivers them out of all their troubles.
18 The LORD is near to those who have a broken heart, And saves such as have a contrite spirit.

19 Many are the afflictions of the righteous, But the LORD delivers him out of them all.
20 He guards all his bones; Not one of them is broken.
21 Evil shall slay the wicked, And those who hate the righteous shall be condemned.
22 The LORD redeems the soul of His servants, And none of those who trust in Him shall be condemned. Amen!

On Thursday, September 16, 2010, one of our leaders in Accra, Ghana was returning home on a bus. When the bus reached the penultimate stop, an FCGC station leader, through the prompting of the Holy Spirit, decided to change seats; he left the back seat and moved to the front next to the driver. As they reached the last stop, the minibus suddenly stalled in the middle of the highway and swerved onto an oncoming truck.

The next moment, the leader was being tapped to wake up from his unconsciousness. As all things work together for good to them that love the LORD, the accident happened in front of the house where his sister lives. The sister's children rushed to the accident only to realize that their uncle was trapped in the bus. They rushed back to their mother, who called for men to rescue our brother.

Our brother was covered in blood, but he was carried inside and placed on the sister's bed. When the blood was cleaned from him, to the praise of our Almighty GOD, they all realized that the blood on him was the blood of the other passengers on the bus, and that the leader did not have any pain, scratches whatsoever. He had been covered with the blood of other people. We believe that the real BLOOD that covered and protected him from the devil's attempt to kill him was the Precious Blood of the Lamb, our blessed LORD and Savior Jesus Christ. Exodus 12:13. What an amazing and miraculous deliverance! Indeed, the GOD to Whom we pray is the same today, yesterday and forever! Hallelujah!

The person who sat in the leader's back seat and five others on the bus, unfortunately perished. For the past two weeks, all who pass by the pass remind others that none of the people inside the bus survived the accident due to the way the truck crushed the bus! However, we know our brother survived through the special Grace, Mercy and Blood of our Savior Jesus Christ. When we put our faith in GOD, He never fails us because He is always with us (Matthew 28:20).

BLESS THE LORD,O MY SOUL; AND ALL THAT IS WITHIN ME, BLESS HIS HOLY NAME! Bless the LORD, O my soul, And forget not all His benefits: Who forgives all your iniquities, Who heals all your diseases, Who redeems your life from destruction, Who crowns you with lovingkindness and tender mercies, Who satisfies your mouth with good things, So that your youth is renewed like the eagle’s. - Psalm 103:1-5
