Still our Saviour came and set her free. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Life can be difficult at times. The Covid-19 season has not been an easy one. Daily challenges have tossed us around. As if this is not enough, there is a war that has increased inflation and especially the fuel price. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>All these challenges cause us to bend over; prevent us from straightening up. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The good news is that we have a deliverer in Jesus. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>He is committed to \u201cstraightening\u201d us. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The magical touch of our Lord Jesus Christ enables us to stand up straight, look up and see better opportunities. There is hope, a bright future and abundant blessings.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>I know that these tough times have caused some God-fearing men and women of God to backslide. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Our Father in heaven loves you unconditionally. Like the prodigal son\u2019s father, he is waiting patiently for you to come back. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Restoration of everything you lost and even more is waiting for you to come back home. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>He is ready to embrace you and place a ring of ownership on your finger. Jesus Christ will take off your sign of slavery to sin and prepare a feast for you. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Your coming back is considered gain. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>I pray that you receive your restoration promptly. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Our Lord is able.
