JEHOVAH MY ELECTRICIAN

May 13^th 2019

I realised I live a life of miracles everyday and so I have decided to be journaling no matter how small. I will magnify the Lord and put it out here. Why?

Psalm 34:1 – I will bless the Lord at all times; His praise shall continually be in my mouth.

So on the night of 12^th May 2019, we had a blackout and after the lights came back, we noticed that our decoder was not working. The gadget was not coming on, we tried changing the socket, power cable etc but nothing, it was evident the thing was fried. I was honestly not in the mood of spending money to fix it or buy another one for that matter. I would rather spend money on other things other than fixing spoilt things. Anyways we all went to sleep but I had purposed to check it out the next morning. So come the morning of 13^th May, after preparing and seeing my daughter off to school I walked back into the house with the decoder in mind. My 3year old son was with me. Again I tried switching sockets, plugs cables etc hoping that it would come on but zero. So I opened the store and got some tools (screw drivers and Allen key), disconnected the cables from the decoder and started working on it. My son was very excited and kept asking me if he can fix it. The young boy just gets excited when he sees tools and wants to try and open up anything in his sight. You should see his toys or rather what is left of them. He reminds me of myself, as a boy I loved to open up all gadgets I came across, I always wanted to know how they worked. These people talking inside radios, how did they get inside there? The people in the TV, do they live inside there and how do they all fit inside? Those are some of the questions that constantly ran through my mind as a child. I was good in opening stuff up but pathetic in putting it back together. Thank God my big brother was a certified engineer so he could always sort out my mess. The fact that I had a well abled big brother gave me such confidence and assurance in life. Do you actually know Jesus is our big brother and He is not ashamed of us and sorts out all our mess? He presents us blameless, perfect before God and set apart for God, how cool is that. This should give you extra ordinary confidence and boldness in life.

Hebrews 2:11 – For both He who sanctifies and those who are sanctified are all from one Father; for which reason He is not ashamed to call them brethren,

Colossians 1:22 – yet He has now reconciled you in His fleshly body through death, in order to present you before Him holy and blameless and beyond reproach

So anyways, we (my son and I) open the decoder hoping to diagnose the issue. Hoping to notice some noticeable fault like some sort of fuse that I was guessing had burnt hence why the thing isn’t coming on or maybe catch a cockroach feeding on wires (not that we have ‘many’ cockroaches in our house),  I unscrew my way into the gadget. As soon as I opened it up and saw the interior, I realized I have no clue what I was doing. I was just trying to be a typical man – fixing everything broken. By this time my son had taken off with one screwdriver and he was trying to open up any screw in his sight. This time he was behind the TV asking me, ‘Papa can I fix the TV?’ I told him ‘no, the TV is not spoilt, it is just off’, to which he replied, ‘OK Papa I will fix it’. Not wanting to steal his joy of feeling useful and helpful, I gave him an affirmative answer ignored him knowing he does not even have the skill (yet) to hold a screw driver uprightly leave alone use it.

 

Back to me and the fried decoder. Having hit me that I will have to take it to an electrician or replace it, I started to put it back together and close it up and screw it together. However, as I did, I was talking to God in my heart telling Him that I honestly need the thing to work because I do not have the money to take it to an electrician, I would rather eat a burger, plus it is just too much work to drive to an electrician to drop it there and collect it later. Besides it would also highly inconvenience the children because they will miss out on their favorite cartoons. I was basically pouring my heart out to God. I finished screwing it back and just for the sake of it, I put it back on power hoping that maybe I touched a loose wire or the damned thing fixed itself. Zero. Dead and cold as ice. Fried. My son asked me, ‘Papa have we fixed it’. I almost laughed at my guess work efforts yet the young man was watching super dad ‘fix’ stuff. ‘No baba but Father God will fix it or He will give us money to get another one’ I replied to him.

I like to slot in the name of God in our conversations so as to build his faith.

Proverbs 22:6 – Train up a child in the way he should go: and when he is old, he will not depart from it.

I could see the disappointment in him as he asked, ‘so no cartoon for me today?’ as I went upstairs to take a shower. I completely forgot about it, I usually avoid thinking of what is going wrong or not playing out as planned . Why? Absolute waste of mental faculties and time.

Philippians 4:6-8 – Be anxious for nothing…………….. whatsoever things are lovely, whatsoever things are of good report; if there be any virtue, and if there be any praise, think on these things.

 

If it is not good and lovely, then I am not giving it airtime in my mouth or space in my mind. After some 15 minutes I went downstairs and was welcomed by a wide warm smile and a bear hug from my wife, my Queen as she said, ‘my King you fixed it. It is so good to have a man in the house’. I received the hug and kiss gladly albeit surprised. Well I knew I did not fix it but I might as well receive the reward for whoever did. The look on my sons face said it all, he was equally surprised that the thing was working, just as I was or rather we all were including my Queen. My son had the look of, ’you mean it is fixed? Wow!! How? When? Who fixed this thing? I know for a fact it was not my Father but who cares I can have my cartoons now’

 

I personally could not believe it, it was working and actually showing pictures. Glory to God. My wife was so happy so I let her stay in that mood for sometime. I was also enjoying the ‘you are my hero’ treatment I was receiving from her. Some 10 hours or so later I told her, ‘you know what my Queen, I honestly did not fix that decoder, it was all Gods doing, I opened it up and realised I have no clue what I am doing leave alone looking at. So I just closed it up and asked God to fix it. I tried it on but it did not power so I knew we have to get a new one. I then went upstairs and moved on with life. I was equally as surprised as you were to find it working. Let me just be honest with you and not steal Gods glory. He fixed it, I did not.’

 

Ladies and gentlemen, that right there is my testimony, Jehovah my electrician. God can be anything you need Him to be, healer, provider, shield etc. Nothing is impossible with God and His hand is not too short to fix anything.

 

I accessed electrical services without money. Glory to God

 

Isaiah 55:1 – “Ho! Every one who thirsts, come to the waters; And you who have no money come, buy and eat. Come, buy wine and milk Without money and without cost.

The other day I experienced Jehovah my plumber. I have also experienced Jehovah my cobbler. I will share soon. I don’t know how you experience God but what I want to assure you is that God is there to be experienced, not merely theorized. This simple truth I learnt from my father, Prophet Ronie Kabwama who introduced me to the realms of consistently experiencing God, I love this great man of God so much. Scriptures came alive in our house when we started walking under his grace; we literally taste and eat the good word. You see one thing I learnt without any shadow of doubt from my father is that, God simply wants to bless us by experiencing Him and He simply wants us to love Him. Life is that simple. God can be and do just about anything and everything for you, if only you believe or dared ask Him.

 

I sense someone was surprised when I said everything changed for my household when we came under the grace of our Father Prophet Ronie Kabwama. Well, yes a man of God does carry a grace and you as a follower partake of that grace upon him. Please note the scripture below, it was Paul speaking,

Philippians 1:7 – Even as it is meet for me to think this of you all, because I have you in my heart; inasmuch as both in my bonds, and in the defence and confirmation of the gospel, ye all are partakers of my grace.

By the way the gospel has to be confirmed, your life has to confirm and NOT contradict the gospel. God is an experience not a theory.

 

Thank you Jesus.

 

I remain the man of God,

 

King David
