It is never too late for Him, be encouraged

Before I start feeding you the tales of me and mine, let me pay my condolences to the victims of that terrorist attack at Westgate. Yesterday I shed tears after watching the CCTV clip from Nakumatt Westgate, it was on TV but the fear that I felt, I could literally taste it. That was a horrifying experience. Today in the morning, I shed some more tears. As many of you (do not) know, Westgate is enroute my (only) way to town, so after holing up the whole weekend, I had to get out today and go to work. When we passed by Westgate, it was very quiet, in an eerie way. I could see no choppers as reported by journalists and although 5 minutes later they reported to have heard gunshots 5 minutes earlier, I did not hear them. But I looked at that building, and imagined the souls still being held hostage there 72 hours since this ordeal began, I imagined the children who have gone 3 days without food or water or the sight of their parents and if so, maybe in a similar state or dead, the number of dead bodies in that beautiful mall that have yet to be recovered 3 days later, I thought of this beautiful mall of ours where I have been passing most days for the past almost 2 years, sometimes making an occasional stopover. at All I can say is that I am deeply saddened that such a thing even has to happen. May God watch upon us with His Just eyes, may His Grace rest upon us because it is sufficient, His Love hover over us because it is everlasting and His Will be upon us because it is healing. When God creates us, He envisions a great and wonderful life ahead of us. I pray that His initial will for us be restored, do not let the evil destroy us.

People are already in pain, suffering great loss. In that state, I cannot sit and ask God to not make the pain happen, as it has already happened. But I request God to make His mighty presence be felt among the people affected and their loved ones. I ask God to reverse time, and I believe that my Almighty God is on this situation. All is not lost my brothers and sisters, it is never too late with our God. Please read these verses, continue praying and crying unto God, and He will come through to us all in a mighty and miraculous way.

The hand of the Lord was on me, and he brought me out by the Spirit of the Lord and set me in the middle of a valley; it was full of bones. He led me back and forth among them, and I saw a great many bones on the floor of the valley, bones that were very dry. He asked me, “Son of man, can these bones live?”
I said, “Sovereign Lord, you alone know.”
Then he said to me, “Prophesy to these bones and say to them, ‘Dry bones, hear the word of the Lord! This is what the Sovereign Lord says to these bones: I will make breath[a] enter you, and you will come to life. I will attach tendons to you and make flesh come upon you and cover you with skin; I will put breath in you, and you will come to life. Then you will know that I am the Lord.’”
So I prophesied as I was commanded. And as I was prophesying, there was a noise, a rattling sound, and the bones came together, bone to bone. I looked, and tendons and flesh appeared on them and skin covered them, but there was no breath in them.
Then he said to me, “Prophesy to the breath; prophesy, son of man, and say to it, ‘This is what the Sovereign Lord says: Come, breath, from the four winds and breathe into these slain, that they may live.’” 10 So I prophesied as he commanded me, and breath entered them; they came to life and stood up on their feet—a vast army.
11 Then he said to me: “Son of man, these bones are the people of Israel. They say, ‘Our bones are dried up and our hope is gone; we are cut off.’ 12 Therefore prophesy and say to them: ‘This is what the Sovereign Lord says: My people, I am going to open your graves and bring you up from them; I will bring you back to the land of Israel. 13 Then you, my people, will know that I am the Lord, when I open your graves and bring you up from them. 14 I will put my Spirit in you and you will live, and I will settle you in your own land. Then you will know that I the Lord have spoken, and I have done it, declares the Lord.’”
