All of my life God has allowed me to share prospectives with people who are different. You cannot lead people whose prospective you are not willing to understand.

Surrounded by enemies, surrounded by evil, surrounded by darkness, injustice.......don't be afraid , those who are with us are more than those who are with them2 Kings 6:16
~ Patience Johnson
Whenever someone is a threat to the enemy there will be an attack dispatched against that person to try to minimise their effectiveness.
~ Patience Johnson
There is power in the word of God if used properly.
~ Patience Johnson
There is a remedy and there is a hope but the remedy is not in the political party or in places that will take you away from hope. You better run to God, that is the only place you can find both.
~ Patience Johnson
My advice for those of you who felt being marginalised, undervalued and taken for granted; guess what? That is the Arena where God creates Leaders.
~ Patience Johnson
I didn't come from a success lineage but I am so glad that my earthly lineage is not my final story because when I gave my life to Jesus twelve years back, God interrupted my story.
~ Patience Johnson
Parents never you make church and studying the word of God optional for your children. If they are in your house, get them up, teach them the word of God, the greatest awards, PhD or achievements any child could have is to grow up in the word of God. I and my family are living witness and it is extending to our third generation.
~ Patience Johnson
I do not have any trust fund, I have always trusted God for all my funds.
~ Patience Johnson
Gratitude without practicing maybe like practicing a faith without good work. A grateful heart is not enough without a grateful habit, because your joy is not produced by what you put in your heart but by habit you put in your life.
~ Patience Johnson
Whenever you are in transition it is always important to choose the words that you use. You call it crises in your life and I call it transition.
~ Patience Johnson
Be careful because God's gifts alone are not able to give you joy, God's gift can only bring you joy when they are joined with your gratitude.
~ Patience Johnson
All my pains has always increased my sense of purpose.
~ Patience Johnson
If God gives you a gift and you don't know what to do with it, it won't make you happy. Some of you God gave a wonderful husband but you can't make a home and some of you God gave a wonderful wife but you can't make a good husband. Some of you can't even unwrap the gift so that you can appreciate it.
~ Patience Johnson
Maybe what you need in your life is not the next level of accomplishment or the next level of accumulation but the next level of appreciation for what you have; that will set the stage to make a space for what you will accumulate in the future. ( a bit deep) Simply put thank God for now before setting the goal for tomorrow because if you grow in gifts and didn't grow in gratitude, you have gained nothing.
~ Patience Johnson
If you can feed in the presence of your enemies, if you can be blessed under the weight of burdens, when you praise God in pain, it is preparation for provision.
~ Patience Johnson
When you do away with God you become your own god, because you recognise no greater power in the universe than yourself.
~ Patience Johnson
I have graduated to the extent of not asking what is happening in my life because I trust the maker(God).
~ Patience Johnson
I have my priorities and I know my purpose. I do not Praise God because of my pain but I praise Him because of what the pain is producing.
~ Patience Johnson
When you praise God in pain, it is preparing you for provision.
~ Patience Johnson
The things I call crisis and all the things that were coming after me are all coming to serve the purpose of God in my life.
~ Patience Johnson
God made my enemies to serve me in my absence. God made the things that conspired to destroy me feed me into the place that He was preparing for me. I am a big girl and I can handle trouble and my enemies.
~ Patience Johnson
When you learn to have the heart of praise in the presence of your enemies, you set the table; if you can work with God in darkness enough depending on the light that He showed you in the last season, you will learn to read your enemies as a sign that it is time to eat. ( a bit deep). Whenever you sense a crisis in your life, note that your harvest is near.
~ Patience Johnson
God prepared a table before me in the presence of my insecurity, in the presence of my deficits, in the presence of my addictions, in the presence of my confusions, in the presence of what I have lost, in the presence of the threat that I won't make it, in the presence of my enemies, I am looking straight ahead.
~ Patience Johnson
Learn to eat with your enemies all around you but most of all thank God for his presence. Keep your eyes fixed to the presence of God in the presence of your enemies.
~ Patience Johnson
I have learned to thank God for what I cannot see, I have learned to trust God with what I cannot.
~ Patience Johnson
Thank God #EVEN# #THOUGH# in bad times not only in your good, this is a graduated form of gratitude.
~ Patience Johnson
Do you know that you can be surrounded by all these blessings, all these relationships, goodness, provisions, opportunities? But if you don't know how to turn the blessing into praise, it will turn into pride and your life will never be filled with joy because your heart has holes in it.
~ Patience Johnson
God can take the ordinary and create the extraordinary. Our incredible God has the power to transform your simple life and give you the life of your dreams. Remarkable things happen in your life when you believe.

They took one look at me,And hated my black face.They took one look at me,And decided on my fate.They took one look at me,And forced an unknown fear.They took one look at me,And caused the shed of tears.They took one look at me,And decided I was wrong.They took one look at me,And now I'm singing the slave mans song...

I Am ! Two powerful words.... You must confess... I Am who God called me to be. I Am a Success. I Am not what you think of me. I Am more than a conqueror. I Am walking by Faith. I Am a Gift.

Biggest tragedy of life is when God ask us to glorify Him for our sakes but we choose to glorify self for satan's good.
~ Indonesia123
What wasting time means? At the time we glorify self instead of glorify God, at that time we are wasting our time as... God is Time.
~ Indonesia123
Greatest irony of life is living in self glory while glorifying God which is the ultimate joy is left behind.
