The Goodness of the Lord, Jesus Christ

Updated: Mar 28


I am overwhelmed by the goodness of the Lord, my Savior, Jesus Christ. I am also so in awe of His faithfulness, timeliness, and how much He loves me.


Yesterday, February 28, 2024, God showed me the power and evidence of being in alignment with His word; His word in this sense, meaning what He revealed to me (in January 2022) that He wanted me to do, which was to start my own business. And hence, Formula B Solutions Strategic Program Designers and Consulting Services LLC was born (visit my website at formulabsolutions.com). God gave me a business/business idea that He told me would change people’s lives by bringing needed solutions to my city (New York) and to this world. God ordained this for my life, but I had to come into agreement with Him… I had to partner with God to carry out His will, and I did. I told God, “Yes, I will do your will”. Again, this was in January of 2022.


Fast forward:  Yesterday, February 28, 2024, I posted on my Facebook page (Yolanda Billingslea) about ‘agreement’ (it was my Word of The Day), ‘partnership’ (referring to my partnership with God), and ‘solutions’ (which is a part of my business name). Let me note that each day, before I do my daily Facebook posts, which God told me is my ministry, I always pray and ask God to use me, and I ask God what He want me to say. And from there, I get my topic, Word of the Day, and God even leads me to the appropriate scripture(s). Let me also mention that there are times when I have everything mapped out the day before, in terms of what I am going to post on Facebook that next morning, and then God changes the plan and gives me an entirely different message. And guess what? I obey. Each time I obey, and that is because obedience is essential. It is a must-do when you are walking with God. That is what being in alignment is all about and it will eventually lead you to what God has promised you and transform you into who He created you to be so that you can do what He has called you to do. Also, I have witnessed time and time again that there is an outpouring of blessings on my life (sometimes immediately) when I am in obedience with what God has instructed me to do.


Meanwhile, back to yesterday: So, during the evening as I ate dinner, I listened to a sermon by Stephanie Ike Okafor (a great Pastor and teacher) titled, No Fear in Love. What’s funny is that I chose this sermon title believing that it would be about romantic relationship love. Yes… I wanted to hear what the pastor had to say about that (Lol). However, to my surprise, the sermon was not about that at all, and that was okay because Pastor Stephanie Ike Okafor sermons (they are on YouTube) are always so powerful and I am always blessed by them. Anyway, as I am listening to the sermon, I hear her mention/speak on agreement (with God’s word), partnership (with what God called you to do), and solutions (that God may have called you to be a solution to a crisis on earth). And let me tell you, at that moment, I began to cry (tears of joy) because for the Pastor to mention the exact three subjects/words (agreement, partnership, solutions) that I had posted on Facebook about earlier in the day (without me ever hearing that sermon before), it was confirmation for me from God that I was in alignment with what He called me to do in this season, and that He was moving me closer to what He has promised me. Also, God showed me that the progress was connected to my obedience (where recently, He had instructed me to discontinue doing certain things entirely, and to do more of other things, and I obeyed Him).


So, as I sat at my kitchen table crying silently (although I wanted to cry loudly), feeling so overwhelmed by the goodness of God and feeling His presence so strong, and feeling so in awe of his faithfulness and how much He loves me, I began praying and thanking God for what He had just revealed to me, and I then I sat silently in His presence to just commune with Him. During that time, God revealed some things to me that I will keep private at this time (it will be a part of my testimony) and He instructed me to use the word ‘partnership’ for the Word of The Day for my Facebook post for the next day, which is today, February 29, 2024. And of course I obeyed. I obeyed because God is over everything in my life, and He is the head of my life and I trust God completely, even when I do not understand what He is doing and it is because I know that in the end, everything will work out for my good.


My message to you: 


Get into alignment with what God has spoken to you about/what He has revealed to you about your purpose. Be obedient to the instructions that He gives you, even when being obedient is not comfortable (i.e., if it means giving up something that you would rather not give up, or doing something that you would rather not do).


And for those of you who believe that God has not revealed to you His purpose for your life, my advice to you is that you draw near to Him (and stay connected to Him and pray often) and ask God to reveal to you His purpose for your life. And once God reveals your purpose to you, arrange your life in a way that will allow you to come into alignment with His word. And when I say arrange your life… that means that if you have people in your life that you are always around, that are not going in the direction that you are going in, then you will need to distance yourself, and if you are doing things (i.e., worldly things) that will hinder your walk with God/conflict with your relationship with God, then you have to give those things up too and just God lead you. It is worth it. Trust me. I am a witness.


I pray that you have an encounter with God that changes your life.  Be encouraged!


God Loves you.


Love and Peace,

Yolanda Billingslea (Ms. B)
