It was footsteps that seemed miles
One step at a time while
This I call being Heaven’s style
Salvation often called
But my heart would stall
This was my young years
But through the teachings from my Grandmother, I continued to preserver
I remember praying, and at that moment, Jesus came into my life
I went through trials and tribulations and continue to do so
However, I welcomed the tribulations
But it was my foundation to blessings full of appreciations
I had made a decree with Jesus that I commit myself to him
As I walked, and wanted to know more
I got involved in Bible Study, and my understanding became sure
I have many testimonies on top testimonies
Death had a mark on me through birth
Doctors had given up hope, and informed my family to prepare for a Funeral
The Doctors felt there was no hope
But my Grandmother knew a person with full authority and a power uncomment to man
She prayed and had a conversation with the Almighty
When it comes to Death, it becomes an encore
But the Lord replied to my Grandmother’s prayer, and stated your Grandson will live and will be a blessing in her later years
It came to pass
My Grandmother was a praying warrior beyond measure
Doctors said the number Seven would be my last number
I am a Senior Citizen living beyond what Doctors said impossible
But God didn’t stop there, I became continued work in progress
As I walked, a voice called out my name, I turned around, but no one was there
This happened as I walked from the train station to where I live
Again, the voice called my name again, but this time a strong theme that came to my mind, “MAN MAKES PROMISES, BUT JESUS GIVES RESULTS”
I have been walking with Jesus ever since
I thank Jesus every day for taking me into his spiritual team
My journey has just begun
I am yet flourishing in the number among
The Lord will always reign being number one
