PRAISES-2025.
IT IS RATHER IMPOSSIBLE FOR MORTAL HUMAN TO PAY BACK TO HIS CREATOR, FOR ALL THE BLESSINGS THAT HE RECEIVES FROM GOD. IT IS EVEN MORE DIFFICULT THAN A CHILD TRYING TO REPAY HIS OR HER MOTHER, ESPECIALLY GODLY MOTHER, FOR NURSING HIM OR HER INTO ADULTHOOD! NO CHILD CAN EVER DO ENOUGH TO PAY THE MOTHER BACK, FOR SERVICE. THE MOTHER WAS AT RISK OF LOSING HER LIFE, WHILST THE CHILD WAS SHARING HER WOMB WITH HER, AND DURING LABOUR TO BRING HIM OR HER OUT. WERE GOD NOT BE HER DELIVERER, SATAN COULD HAVE TAKEN ADVANTAGE OF SUCH TIME, AND ENDED THE LIFE OF THE MOTHER, AND EVEN THE CHILD TOO. IF A MOTHER CAN BE THIS IMPORTANT TO A CHILD, HOW MUCH MORE GOD THE CREATOR AND THE KEEPER OF HUMAN BEING!!! CONSIDERING THIS, WHAT IS MAN’S EFFORT THEN TO COMPENSATE GOD FOR WHO HE IS TO MAN! DESPITE MAN’S HELPLESSNESS TO RETURN SUFFICIENT REWARD TO GOD, FOR HIS CARE TOWARDS MAN, YET, THERE ARE A FEW WAYS THAT COULD SATISFY GOD, IF SOMEONE TRIES TO `REWARD` HIM FOR HIS GOODNESS TOWARDS THE PERSON. BELOW, ARE A FEW BASIC WAYS THAT WE CAN TAKE OUT FROM THE BIBLE:
1) FEAR GOD; THE BIBLE SAYS THAT, `THE FEAR OF THE LORD, IS THE BEGINNING OF WISDOM`, AND THAT IS WHY `WISDOM`, IS GREATER THAN `SENSES`. WISDOM, IS DIVINE, AND IS OFTEN ASSOCIATED WITH SPECIAL GIFT FROM GOD. SO, IF YOU ARE TRYING TO `REWARD` GOD FOR HIS BLESSINGS OVER YOU, ASK HIM TO ENDUE YOU WITH WISDOM, SO AS TO KNOW WHAT NEXT STEPS TO TAKE.
2) LOVE GOD: THE ``LOVE OF GOD IN YOUR HEART COULD AUTOMATICALLY ENTER YOUR HEART, WHEN YOU ARE WISE ENOUGH TO SEE AND KNOW HOW GREAT GOD IS, HOW LOVING HE IS AND HAD TO GIVE JESUS CHRIST HIS SON, TO HANG ON THE TREE FOR YOU, SO THAT YOUR SINS COULD BE TAKEN AWAY, PREPARING YOU TO ESCAPE THE FURY OF HELL FIRE.
3) OBEY GOD’S COMMANDMENTS: IF YOU TRULY LOVE GOD, YOU WILL TRY YOUR BEST NOT TO LET HIM DOWN, NOR DISSAPPOINT HIM ON SOMETHING THAT HE ENTRUSTS INTO YOUR CARE. JESUS, WHEN SPEAKING TO HIS DISCIPLES WHEN HE WAS ON EARTH, SAID, `IF YE LOVE ME, KEEP MY COMMANDMENTS`. EVEN THE EASIEST OF GOD’S COMMANDMENT, IS HARD ENOUGH FOR HUMAN BEING TO OBEY, AND GOD KNOWS THAT. BUT HE ALSO HAS PROVIDED THE MEANS WHEREBY EVEN HIS HARDEST COMMANDMENT, CAN BE KEPT BY MAN. HE SAYS THAT, `WITHOUT ME, YE CAN DO NOTHING`.
4) PRAYER: JUST AS A PARENT CAN TELL A CHILD TO DO SOMETHING, BUT THE CHILD FINDS IT DIFFICULT TO DO IT; BUT TAKES COURAGE TO REPORT BACK TO THE FATHER THAT HE CANNOT DO IT, SO SHOULD YOU REPORT BACK TO GOD ABOUT ANY CHALLENGE YOU MAY FACE, WHEN TRYING TO DO THAT WHICH GOD TELLS YOU TO DO. THE EARTHLY FATHER ONLY ASKS, OR SOMETIMES, EVEN COMMANDS THE CHILD TO DO SOMETHING, AND IF THE CHILD CANNOT DO IT, THE FATHER MAY PUNISH THE CHILD. BUT FOR THE HEAVENLY FATHER, HE REASONS WITH THE CHILD, AND INSTEAD OF PUNISHING, HE CAN GIVE THE CHILD A SECOND CHANCE, AND GIVES THE CHILD POWER TOO, TO GO AND GET IT RIGHT. BUT THE CHILD MUST BE WILLING TO DO IT RIGHT, AND THEREFORE SHOULD ASK FOR GOD’S HELP. GOD WILL GIVE THE STRENGTH.
5) PRAISES: WHEN YOU KNOW THAT YOU HAVE ACCOMPLISHED THAT HARD JOB THAT YOUR STRNGTH COULD NOT ACCOMPLISH, AND YOU KNOW THAT IF GOD DID NOT INTERVENE, YOU WOULD HAVE FAILED HIM AND LOSE YOUR BLESSING; THEN, WITHOUT ANY EFFORT, PRAISES WILL JUMP OUT FROM YOUR HEART, AND FROM YOUR LIPS, UNTO THE GOD OF YOUR HELP!
6) BLESSING/S: NEVER THINK THAT, GOD IS BLIND TO EVERY EFFORT THAT YOU MAKE, IN ORDER TO MAKE HIM HAPPY WITH YOU. EVERY EFFORT THAT YOU MAKE, ACCORDING TO HIS EXPECTATION FROM YOU, WILL BE REWARDED WITH SOMETHING, OR WITH THINGS THAT WOULD ALSO MAKE YOU HAPPY! ON THE OTHER HAND, EVERY CONSCIOUS EFFORT THAT YOU MAKE, TO GRIEVE HIM, OR TO DISGRACE HIS NAME, HE WILL ALSO REWARD YOU WITH A `LITTLE` GRIEF, OR A LITTLE UNHAPPINESS, SOONER OR LATER. IT IS AN HONEST TRUTH THAT MANY IN THE WORLD DO NOT BELIEVE; FOR IF THEY DO KNOW AND BELIEVE, IT WOULD BE INSANE TO PUT EFFORT TO GRIEVE GOD WITH EVIL OR BAD WORKS. MANY WOULD PREFER TO DO GOOD, MAKE GOD HAPPY, AND RECEIVE GOOD THINGS THAT GIVE THEM REAL HAPPINESS! AND AFTER ENJOYING THE GOOD FRUITS THAT THEIR GOOD WORKS BRING TO THEM, THEY WOULD GO BEYOND GOOD WORKS, BRINGING THEM GOOD THINGS TO ENJOY ON EARTH; BUT INTO GOOD WORKS THAT WILL GIVE THEM HEAVEN TO ENJOY ABUNDANTLY, AND FOR ETERNITY!
BY THE GRACE OF GOD, MANDU, THE PROPRIETOR OF HATIFMANDU, BELIEVES THAT SHE IS MAKING ALL CONSCIOUS EFFORT TO DAILY ACCOMPLISH ALL THE ITEMS LISTED ABOVE; AS SHE ATTEMPTS TO GIVE BACK, A LITTLE FOR THE BLESSINGS AND THE CARE THAT GOD HAS BEEN POURING OVER HER BODY AND HER SOUL. SHE IS NOT ONLY TRYING DAILY,TO DO THESE THINGS BECAUSE OF THE BLESSINGS OF GOD IN HER LIFE; BUT SHE IS DOING THESE THINGS BECAUSE OF GOD’S NATURE-WHO HE REALLY IS, ATLEAST, THE LITTLE THAT IS REVEALED TO HER! MANDU HAS COME TO THE STAGE WHERE SHE SAYS, `WHATSOEVER THAT PLEASES GOD TO DO FOR HER, SHE IS ONLY ASKING HIM FOR THE GRACE TO GO THROUGH IT, WITHOUT OFFENDING HIM`! HOW CAN I MAKE HIM SAD, HOW CAN I DISGRACE HIS NAME, HOW CAN I DENY HIM, AND HOW CAN I DISAPPOINT HIM, AFTER SEEING AND KNOWING WHO THE ALMIGHTY GOD IS!!! MAY HE NEVER LET ME FAIL HIM, ALTHROUGH MY JOURNEY ON EARTH. I CAN FAIL MYSELF, I CAN FAIL MAN, BUT NOT MY JESUS, MY ALL-IN-ALL. AMEN.
I NOW WANT TO CONTINUE ON ONE OF THE ITEMS, LISTED ABOVE, AND THAT IS PRAISE. MY PRAISES TO GO IS ON A DAILY BASIS, MAINLY TWO TIMES IN A DAY DURING MY DAILY PRAYER SESSIONS. I OPEN EACH SESSION WITH PRAISE, AND END IT WITH PRAISE TOO. BUT ON A SPECIAL TIME LIKE END OF YEAR, I WANT TO TRY AND REMEMBER A FEW UNFORGETABLE VICTORIES THAT GOD, IN HIS LOVE AND MERCY FOR ME, HAS BROUGHT TO MY LIFE.
1) LIFE: HE CREATED THE FIRST MAN OUT OF THE DUST. HE STOOD THE MAN ON HIS FEET, BUT THE MAN COULD NOT MOVE NOR TALK. THEN GOD BREATHED INTO THE NOSTRILS OF THE MAN, AND THE MAN BECAME A LIVING CREATURE-TALKING AND MOVING ABOUT WITH LIFE AND WITH SENSES! SO, GOD IS THE ONLY PERSON THAT CAN GIVE LIFE TO ANY HUMAN OR ANY OTHER OF HIS CREATION. I AM KEPT ALIVE BY HIS WILL AND POWER. FOR THIS, I PRAISE GOD.
2) GOD HAS GIVEN MY LIFE, AND KEEPS ME ALIVE TILL THIS MOMENT-RUNNING INTO NEW YEAR, 2025! TO THE WORLD PURSUING ME LIKE RAT TO DESTROY MY LIFE, I BELIEVE IT IS A MIRACLE IN THEIR EYES, JUST AS IT IS TO ME! FOR THIS, I PRAISE GOD.
3) HEALTH: GOD HEALS, AND HE HAS DONE THAT FOR ME. A FEW TIMES IN 2024, I WAS SICK AND A FEW TIMES, ACTUALLY FELT AS IF I WAS DEPARTING THIS WORLD, BUT GOD RAISED ME UP, AND I AM IN GOOD, OR IN AVERAGE HEALTH RIGHT NOW. FOR THIS I PRAISE GOD.
4) PROVISION OF ALL KINDS: GOD PROVIDES FOR ME IN 2024, SATISFACTORILY. AT ONE STAGE, I FEARED TO BE MADE HOMELESS, BUT TODAY, HE HAS GIVEN ME A ROOF OVER MY HEAD. FOR HIS NUMBERLESS PROVISION FOR ME, I PRAISE GOD.
5) PEACE: GOD GIVES ME PEACE, WHEN THE BODY SHOULD NOT BE PEACEFUL, EVEN IN AFFLICTION. FOR THIS, I PRAISE GOD.
6) JOY/HAPPINESS: JOYS FLOODING MY HEART AND OVERFLOWING AT TIMES! I OFTEN THINK OF WHY, BUT SUDDENLY WOULD REMEMBER THAT, GOD IS MY CARER. FOR THIS, I PRAISE GOD.
7) A FAITHFUL FRIEND: AT A TIME LIKE THIS, WHEN THE RAREST THINGS IN THE WORLD ARE TRUST, LOVE, AND SELFLESSNESS, IT PLEASES GOD TO GIVE ME A FRIEND THAT PROVES TO ME, AND TO THE WORLD THAT, THERE ARE STILL A FEW, WHOM GOD HAS PRESERVE TO FILL THOSE OFFICES! FOR THIS, I PRAISE GOD.
8) RELATIVES: GOD BLESSED MY PREVIOUS MARRIAGE WITH FOUR BEAUTIFUL CHILDREN, WHO ARE STILL AROUND ME TODAY, DESPITE THE TRICK OF SATAN. IMAGINE WHAT I WOULD HAVE MISSED, IF I DID NOT HAVE THEM, OR HAVE THEM, AND WITH ALL THE BATTLES THAT SATAN HAS WAGED TO SEPARATE SOME OF THEM FROM ME, I CAN STILL HEAR THEIR VOICES TODAY. FOR THIS, I PRAISE GOD.
9) WELL WISHERS: I AM NOT SURE HOW MANY THEY ARE, OR WHO THEY ARE, BUT I BELIEVE THEY ARE A FEW AROUND THE WORLD; ATLEAST THOSE WHO SUPPORT MY FRIEND TO CARE FOR ME. FOR THIS, I PRAISE GOD.
10) FOR ENEMIES OR THE NUTRAL ONES-NOT ENEMIES AND NOT FRIENDS: I WANT TO SHARE THE BRIEF STORY THAT I HEARD FROM A PREACHER, LAST SUNDAY. THE PREACHER SAID THAT, HIS LATE FATHER WAS VERY SERIOUS ABOUT GIVING SOMETHING TO SOMEBODY, AND EXPECTING THE PERSON TO THANK HIM. HE SAID THE FATHER SOMETIMES WOULD EVEN EXPECT HIS CHILD TO THANK HIM AGAIN FOR SOMETHING HE GAVE THEM PREVIOUS DAY. BUT THE INTERESTING PART OF THE PREACHER’S STORY WAS THAT, HE, THE FATHER, DID NOT ALSO JOKE WITH ALWAYS THANKING ANYONE THAT GAVE HIM ANY GOOD THING. HE WOULD EVEN THANK HIS CHILD GIVING HIM WATER TO DRING. HE WOULD THANK HIS OWN DRIVER, EACH TIME THEY WENT OUT AND CAME BACK-HIS OWN EMPLOYEE! FORTUNATELY FOR ME NOW, THAT PREACHER REMINDED ME OF THE DEBT THAT I HAD BEEN WANTING TO PAY TO MY EX-STAFF AT HATIFMANDU. SINCE MY 6OTH BIRTHDAY CELEBRATION, A FEW WEEKS AFTER THAT, I REASONED WITHIN MYSELF, IF I REALLY SAID A GOOD `THANK-YOU` TO MY STAFF(VOLUNTEERS) WHO PRESENTED A SHORT DRAMA DURING THE BIRTHDAY. I DID GIVE THEM SOME SNACKES TO TAKE HOME, BUT I CAME TO THINK THAT, IT WAS NOT ENOUGH. SO, AT ONE POINT, I WANTED TO SEND THEM A WARM GREETING CARD AND GIFT. BUT I KEPT FORGETTING TILL LAST SUNDAY. THE VERY PRECHER WAS AMONG THE VOLUNTEERS THAT PRESENTED A SHORT DEMONSTRATION THAT DAY. THE LAST SUNDAY BEFORE MY BIRTHDAY, I NOTICED THAT, THEY DID NOT PERFORM WELL DURING THEIR LAST PRACTICE, SO I WANTED TO CANCEL THEIR PERFORMANCE. BUT THE RELENTLESS PREACHER ASK ME FOR ONE MORE TIME, THAT HE WOULD GATHER THE REST VOLUNTEER, AND PRACTICE AGAIN, EVEN ON THE VERY DAY OF THE CEREMONEY, BEFORE IT WOULD START. I AGREED, AND HE DID WHAT HE COULD. IT WAS NOT PERFECT, BUT THERE WAS GREAT IMPROVEMENT, JUST BECAUSE ONE VOLUNTEER PUT IN EFFORT TO MAKE IT WORK. MAY I USE THIS MEDIUM TO SINCERELY THANK ALL FORMER VOLUNTEERS AT HATIFMANDU! SOME OF YOU WERE NOT ACTIVE ENOUGH AROUND ME OR HATIFMANDU-YOU WORKED IN ISOLATION. SATAN HAS BROUGHT IN SO MANY THINGS THAT DRIVIE US. BUT FOR YOUR PAST FAITHFUL EFFORT TO HELP HATIFMANDU GROW, I HONESTLY THANK YOU, WITHIN UK OR ABROAD NOW! PLEASE ACCEPT MY THANKS. I PRAY ONE DAY, GOD MAY LEAD ME TO DO, BETTER THAN THANKS.
11) NOW, IF YOU ARE MY ENEMY OR NUTRAL, WHATSOEVER THAT SATAN HAS USED YOU TO DO TO ME, SINCE I AM STILL ALIVE TODAY, I PRAISE GOD THAT HE ALLOWED SATAN TO USE YOU. THE BIBLE SAYS THAT, `THE WRATH OF MAN SHALL PRAISE GOD`. SO, I THANK YOU, ESPECIALLY IF YOU HAVE REPENTED. I PRAY YOUR CASE WILL NOT BE LIKE THE `WRATH OF JUDAS` THAT BROUGHT PRAISE TO GOD AT LAST. JUDAS BETRAYED JESUS TO BE KILLED; IN OTHER WORDS, JUDAS KILLED JESUS, BECAUSE HE PARTICIPATED IN IT. BUT THE KILLING, BROUGHT OUT THE BLOOD THAT LATER, TILL TODAY,AND TILL THE END OF THE WORLD, THE KILLING PROVIDED FOR THE BLOOD THAT IS NOW DESTROYING THE WORKS OF SATAN! SATAN THOUGHT HE HAD VICTORY OVER THE GOSPEL, NOT KNOWING HIS WRATH TO PUSH JUDAS TO KILL JESUS, WOULD BECOME THE ARROW THAT DEFENDS THE GOSPEL AND THE SAINTS OF GOD. JUDAS GOT DECIEVED BY SATAN TO KILL JESUS, THE JEWS GOT DECEIVED TO NAIL JESUS ON THE CROSS, BUT JUDAS COMMITTED SUICIDE AND DIED BEFORE JESUS EVEN DIED. THE JEWS ARE STILL GOING THROUGH THE IMPACT OF KILLING THEIR MESSAIH, TILL TODAY. I PRAY THEY REPENT. JUDAS IS IN HELL, AND WILL ROT IN THE FINAL LAKE OF FIRE; BUT JESUS ROSE FROM THE DEATH, AND WENT BACK TO HEAVEN TO BE PROMOTED BY THE FATHER! ALL POWER IN HEAVEN AND ON EARTH, IS NOW GIVEN TO JESUS, BY THE FATHER, BECAUSE JESUS FOUGHT ON EARTH AND WON OVER SATAN, THE FLESH, THE WORLD, AND SIN. HALLELUJAH! YOU TOO CAN BE VICTORIOUS OVER SATAN, SIN, FLESH, AND THE WORLD. THEN, YOU SURE WILL BE PROMOTED!
12) I WANT TO END THIS PRAISE ARTICLE, WITH THE BIBLE PASSAGES THAT I HEARD FROM ANOTHER PREACHER, LAST SUNDAY TOO. THE PORTIONS DO MATCH WITH MY PRAISES HERE.
EXODUS CHAPTER 15, FROM VERSE ONE TO VERSE THIRTEEN=EX15:1-13. PLEASE USE KJV.
PSALM 114. THE PREACHER ENDED HIS SERMON, INCLUDING IT WITH, `THERE IS PROVISION AT CALVARY`. GOD BLESS YOU BROHER, FOR UNKNOWINGLY HELPING ME TO CONCLUDE THIS WITH VITAL PORTIONS.
ON BEHALF OF MY FRIEND/LOVE AND HIM, I, EKA UYOM, WISH YOU A SPIRITUALLY AND PHYSICALLY PROSPEROUS 2025, BUT IN THE LORD, CHRIST!

11) NOW, IF YOU ARE MY ENEMY OR NUTRAL, WHATSOEVER THAT SATAN HAS USED YOU TO DO TO ME, SINCE I AM STILL ALIVE TODAY, I PRAISE GOD THAT HE ALLOWED SATAN TO USE YOU.

PRAISES.
WHAT PRAISES, AND TO WHOM?
This Praise is from Hatifmandu, to THE ETERNAL GOD OF GLORY IN HEAVEN! But it is IMPOSSIBLE to write a BEFITTING Praise unto THE MAKER OF HEAVEN AND OF EARTH, THE GOD WHO FORMED MAN OUT OF DUST, AND THE GOD WHO IS IN CONTROL OF ALL THINGS IN HEAVEN AND ON EARTH! Even a child may not have enough words to express his or her gratitude to the mother or the father that through them, the child came into the world. If that child is of a basic behaviour that is expected of a good child-possessing a GOOD HEART towards the parent and towards God; and the parent in turn, is who a true parent should be, with GOOD HEART OF LOVE, DISCHARCHING HIS OR HER RESPONSIBILITIES TOWARDS THE CHILD, AS SHOULD BE; oh, there would be an unlimited life-time appreciation from that child to such parent! How then can a human being, Express in words, all that God has Done in even a week, and in his or in her life!! Hatifmandu can only sample out here, a few ACTS OF LOVE, FROM THE GOD OF LOVE towards us, with a few words. But may He Accept even these few Words with Joy, in Jesus’ Name. Amen.
First of all, we thank Him for this opportunity to write this Article of Praise for His Glory. If the Writer of this Praise had been Called up to Heaven before now, we may not have been able to Present any Christmas Program for 2023, neither would this Article of Praise, written. So, we THANK GOD FOR SPARING THE LIFE OF MANDU, THE PROPRIETOR OF HATIFMANDU, AND THE WRITER OF THIS PRAISE ARTICLE!
Although Mandu’s health is not perfect right now, but we still thank God for Taking Control that it is not as bad as the enemy would have wanted it to be. If the health were to be worse than this, there would probably be no Christmas Program for 2023. So, we THANK GOD FOR AN AVERAGE GOOD HEALTH TO MANDU, TO PERFORM! She is in a surprising note that, the sicness she thought could abide, maybe for many years, God has HEALED HER BEYOND HER EXPECTATION. But she now TRUSTS that, sooner or later, HER HEALTH WILL RETURN
We thank God for a place to sit down and write this Article right now. Mandu relocated from her last accommodation suddenly, and in a hurry. But God Provided an even better accommodation with more spaces, and an internet accessibility, which was one of her housing needs’ worries. Not everybody in the UK, has internet access where they live, and if Mandu couldn’t get that in her flat right now, then there would probably be no Christmas Program for 2023.
NOT BEING ABLE TO WRITE OUT HERE MORE OF GOD’S BLESSINGS TO US, FOR THERE IS JUST TOO MUCH TO WRITE, WE WANT TO CONCLUDE THIS PRAISE HERE FOR NOW, WITH THE FOLLOWING FEW POINTS OF PRAISE ON:
Human helpers; even those helps from those who are HYPOCRITES around Mandu. Paul the Apostle once advised other disciples who rebuked hypocrites ones among them, and said they should not preach in The Name of Jesus. Paul told them not to stop the hypocrites from preaching in The Name of Jesus; that whether they were preaching for The Glory of God, or for their own gains/bellies/glory, at the end of the day, THE WORD OF GOD HAD GONE OUT, AND SOULS COULD STILL BE WON INTO THE KINGDOM OF GOD! What a SHAME! The hypocrites preached and laboured for just the perishing gains of this world, but won souls that would go forth and GAIN GLORIOUS ETERNAL WEALTH IN HEAVEN; whilst the hypocrites went forth straight into Eternal destruction in the Lake of Fire!! May you not labour for others to ENJOY, whilst you PERISH IN THE FLAME OF FIRE! So, whether some of the people that I've obtained one favour or the other from, one help or the other from; whether they did it out of a GOOD HEART towards me or not, at the end of the day, I DID GET THE FAVOUR I NEEDED, AND IT DID HELP RELIEVE ME OF ONE CARE OR THE OTHER! For this, I Praise God for Sending them my way, but do pray God to Let them know of the REAL BLESSING THAT GOD WOULD HAVE SHOWERED ON THEM, HAD THEY SERVED ME, HIS DAUGHTER, WITH A GOOD HEART. With such revelation from God to them, I pray they REPENT, purge their hearts, and come close to me henceforth, with a TRUTHFUL HEART, FOR THEIR GOOD, AND FOR GOD’S PLEASURE OVER THEM. Amen.. Hatifmandu therefore, Praise God for GENUINE HELPER, ESPECIALLY, AND FOR THE FAKE HELPERS TOO!
Mandu would like to offer her PERSONAL short Praises to God, during her usual NEW YEAR’S MESSAGE. Until then, MAY GOD’S NAME CONTINUE TO BE PRAISED, QUIETLY OR LOUDLY, FROM US AT HATIFMANDU. Honey, until then.
