21 Days of Praise: Day 4 - His Restorative Healing

Welcome to Day 4 of our #21DaysofPraise series. Today, I am filled with gratitude as I reflect on God’s healing power.

Praise for Healing

Verse of the Day: Jeremiah 30:17

"But I will restore you to health and heal your wounds,’ declares the Lord." (NIV)

"Yes, I will restore you to health. I will heal your wounds. I, Yahweh, declare it!" (TPT)

Whether it’s physical, emotional, or spiritual healing, God has shown His mercy and love through His restorative touch. He is the Great Physician, always ready to heal our wounds and renew our strength. 

There were plenty moments in my life when I felt broken (the stories are all on this blog) and in need of healing. During those times, God's presence brought me comfort and recovery. Like a doctor, He does a Heart Check on me. His healing power is not just limited to physical ailments but extends to our hearts and minds, bringing wholeness and peace.

I have experienced God’s restorative healing firsthand. Oh, my heart has been through so many surgeries and back. Glory to God! I have a special name I call God in those seasons; My Heart Keeper. God is always ready and willing to mend my heart each time the people I love hurt me. I just cry to Him, “Dear Heart Keeper…”

The Bleeding Woman

Again I read about the woman with the issue of blood. This woman’s story pierces my heart in the way that it brings me to tears . . . to Jesus.

"If I can just touch the hem of his garment, I will be healed". That's what she told herself. Such a daring adventure.

The Bleeding Has To Stop

If you've been reading my blog, you're aware about the breakup I had with an ex-friend who attends my church. I got in touch with him again to carry out an official assignment . . . Then, the hurt, the pain, the ache all came back.

"I thought I had moved on." I cried.

One Way To Survive Sitting In The Office All Day

I'd choose to work lying down on a couch than sitting at a desk if I had the chance. Sitting at a desk for more than an hour is actually not a good thing. Hope you know?

It's career-Wednesday! Found ONE tip while making a research about my sudden back pain.

Prevent Back Pain At Work

I typed "How to reduce back pain" on Google search box and the MAJOR thing that stood out was:

Change your posture at intervals. 

So if you work in an office and use a computer most of the time, this tip is especially for you . . .

No matter how comfortable you are in an office chair, prolonged static posture is not good for the back and is a common contributor to back pain and muscle strain.

How To Feel Better When You Feel Miserable

Hello! I know it's Monday but can we talk about something "annoying" for a minute, please?

When God cursed Eve, did He mention that she was going to have terrible menstrual cramps too? Just asking for a friend. She is in so much pain right now. :(

Making Sickness An Adventure

She was on the bed. Instead of sleeping or resting, she was rolling from one point to another. And making some creepy sounds.

She was getting me really scared.

5 Tiny Habits That Can Totally Transform Your Life

I was born in June. I reflect a lot about my life during this time. Aha. (Thank you for the birthday wishes and gifts in advance) I have this list of things I've been doing so far that have improved my life tremendously. I thought to share them with you.

5 Tiny Life-Changing Habits

I call them tiny habits because they don’t seem like much, but if you practice them regularly, they can improve your energy level, your fitness, your work, and your creativity . . . in big ways.

What I Wore: Because Of Sandflies

Have you ever been on a picnic or camping trip and been bitten (or eaten alive) by those pesky bugs known as sandflies? Well, I have and it is not funny. :(

Because Of Sandflies



Last week, I had a very bad allergic reaction to sandfly bites. I didn't want to step out of my bed. I felt terribly horrible. My skin (hands and legs) was swollen, reddish and itchy.

Healthy Snacks For Your Heart

I apologize about the 'unseriousness' I displayed yesterday. Some days are just like that. Phew. Thank you for understanding. A big shout out to Sarah, Johnero, Nikemi, Ore-ofe, Jenny, Lucy & Mrs Kene for writing the concluding part of the article. You all are so amazing! Let's keep going. :)

*whispers* While it is important to take care of the spiritual state of your heart, it is also very important to take care of your heart in its physical form. You can keep your heart healthy . . . by snacking. Especially during this season. 

Healthy Snacks

I am passionate about many things, but food is not one of them. If you've been following my blog, you'd notice I hardly talk about food. (OK, except when I mentioned fufu, akara and jollof rice). I'm so not a foodie.

REVIEW: The Walnut

You know I like to talk about anything that I find fascinating. Right? So today, I've got the walnut on my mind. These days, I see it everywhere. And I'm starting to like it.

7 Top Reasons to Eat the Walnut

When I found out that it is good for the heart. I was like, "wow!" And knowing how much I value your heart,  I want you to also see reasons to like it now/more.

So let's go there, The Walnut. . .

The Church is a Body

"For as the body is one, and hath many members, and all the members of that one body, being many, are one body, so also is Christ" 1 Cor. 12:12

As the human body is made up of many parts, so is the church made up of many members:

Some, the eyes
-to see visions.

Some, the mouth
-to preach the word and prophesy.

Some, the nose
-to perceive and pray into other parts of the body for effective functioning.

Here We Are! :)

Welcome to my blog. Welcome to Heart Rays.

I am so pleased to have you and I like you already! This is a channel to creatively and artistically express the truth, the love, the experience and the life that I have found.

My expressions are with audacity and authenticity. Endurance and emotion. Vulnerability and voice. Resilience and resolution. Creativity and freedom.

I do away with the highlight reel, and show people the lost footage. Reveal the scars. Make a joke. It can be serious and not that serious. But in all, my desire is to help you grow as a person, a leader, a communicator, and most of all, as a child of God!

I agree with the popular saying that, "the heart of the matter is the matter of the heart." This means that the core issues of life are the matters of the heart. The very essence of life is the heart. Everything we are and everything we do flows from the heart. When the heart feels good, the body feels good. And when the body feels good, life feels good. It's an inside-out living.

Physically, the role of the heart in keeping us alive cannot be undermined. From the moment it begins beating until the moment it stops, the human heart works tirelessly. I studied that the electromagnetic signal from the heart is so powerful that it radiates beyond our skin, all around us, the 360 degrees sphere, and as far as the ten feet into the space around us. That's profound! Nothing else in the body has such electromagnetic force. Each of us whether we choose to acknowledge it or not is a transmitter of energy- energy that stimulates emotions. (Emotions are simply energy in motion)

Originally, the bible says the heart is evil, deceitful and desperately wicked. However, after a man experiences salvation, the heart is impacted and made available for the purifying Word of God to work upon it. A man can only be transformed when the information he receives reaches to the heart. The word of God is the light that shines abroad in our heart to transform it so that it brings forth good report, virtues and success.

The light from the sun is called Sun Rays. And the light from the heart is what I choose to call Heart Rays. There are rays of love, hope, faith, beauty, life, fun, and so much more.

When we reveal the truth we know, express the love we find, share the experience we have and present the life we live. We let the light shine.

So right here, I give out my Heart Rays. I'd love you to also give out yours. What do you say? Oh yeah!

I'm so excited that you are here. Now, the journey gets more interesting. . .

Welcome and thank you. :)

Heartily,
Amaka
