KINDNESS IS AN INVESTMENT - Elvira Jordan

KINDNESS IS AN INVESTMENT - Elvira Jordan Good Morning Beloved! 😊 I was walking along a busy road one day and I saw a beautiful lady who should be a few years younger than me, struggling with some bags. Normally, that eternal beef between ladies (which I still don’t understand) would have made me pass without even noticing. But I did notice and offered to help. The surprise on her face, that a young girl like herself would offer help…. it was everything. I helped her with her bags to a nearest bustop where she took a cab and we bid each other farewell. The smiles on her face and many many “thank you! God bless you” was enough payment for me. To my soul, it was like a chilled glass of juice on a sunny day. Fast forward to many months later when I moved to a new city that is known for its harshness and cruelty, I had a called a cab and had this big luggage I couldn’t lift into the cab. The cab man sat still and watched me struggle with the bags, pretending not to see. Then out of nowhe

YOUR CREATION VOICE OF GOD - Elvira Jordan

YOUR CREATION VOICE OF GOD - Elvira Jordan Good Morning Beloved I know that before now you may have heard of the LAW OF ATTRACTION and how we can attract to ourselves, the kind of life we want. Asides being able to attract things, Do you know that YOU have the power to CREATE the kind of life you want? Do you know that you can manifest powerful changes in your life, just by thinking and creating in your mind; and speaking it out loud? In Genesis 1:27, when God said he created man in his own image, we may interpret this as the physical image of God but it actually goes beyond the physical. When God created the world within 6 days, He did so simply by speaking what He wanted into existence ... "Let there be..." and there was. God created humans to be powerful beings, to be gods, and to wield the kind of power that He has…. Just as He is…. In His image. God equiped us to also be creators like Him. If God has created us in his own image and has given us such power of creati
