It has been quite a long time since I have responded to a blogger award.

Today, I want to thank Chris from Varsityexperience for nominating me for the outstanding blogger award.

Chris is devoted to spreading the good news of salvation to everyone because he wants them to transform from darkness into light by the grace of God.

Chris is also a published author and you can find some of his books here.

Questions from Chris

(1). Have you received Jesus as your personal Lord and Savior? If yes, share your salvation experience.

Ans: Yes when I was a child about ten/eleven years old. My father had recently passed away and I wanted God to be my Father and to part of His divine family. 

After my father died, my mother told us that God will be a Father to the fatherless. I took that statement literally and thought that the only way this was possible was to get baptized in the church. 

The senior Elder at my church guided me into accepting Christ as my Saviour.

Since then the Lord has been more than a Father to me guiding and protecting me even when I was unaware of His presence.

The Lord has now taken on the role in my life as a husband to the widow and Father to my children.

Thank you, Lord!

(2). Between prosperity and poverty, which one do you choose?

Ans: It is the Lord’s desire that we prosper and be in good health even as our souls prosper. Poverty resulted from sinful earth.

(3). Between paying for health and getting it for free, your choice?

Ans: In this world, we have to pay for everything. Who knows, we may one day have to pay for the air that we breathe. 

The earth is the Lord and the fullness thereof. The world and everyone who dwells in it.

God offered everything to us freely, but unfortunately, man’s greed requires that we pay for everything.

(4). What are your blogging strategies? (Let’s learn from the way you blog).

Ans: I am not an expert blogger but I learned as I continue to blog.

(5). What are your understandings about tags and categories?

Ans: Categories as the name suggests place your post in different categories. You decide what category you want your post to be in.

For example, if your post is about health issues you can create a category call health.

Tags are phrases and words from your post that will allow readers to find your blog.

(6). What is your understanding of SEO optimization?

Ans: This one still boggles my mind. Maybe my readers can help to explain it in the comment box below.

(7). How do you deal with blogging notifications, statistics, and ghosting?

Ans: I am not sure what ghosting is. I reply to notifications whenever I am not busy with work. I do not worry about statistics.

Beverley has been serving the Lord since she was a child. At an early age, she recognized that God had a special plan for her life, but it was not until in her adulthood that she surrendered her total life to God and accepted the mandate that God placed on her life. The Lord called her into His Kingdom to be an encourager, intercessor, teacher, scribe, priest, and to proclaim the Word of God. Since then, Beverly has established a blog to teach us to become the oil and wine. The oil and wine are purified and mature products, which is the advanced level that the Lord expected of us. In 2017, Beverley published her first book, Harm Not The Oil And Wine. In it, she described her trials and how God helped her to overcome them, and to live more victoriously. The book also exposed the enemy of our souls with detailed information about his past defeats and future extinction. Wright spents most of her time studying the Bible to know the truth of God’s Word. She believes that only God’s truth can expose the deception of the enemy, and uproot and tear down spiritual strongholds. You can learn more about Beverley’s life and testimony on her website becomingtheoilandwine.com. You can also find her on Facebook and Google+ under the name of her blog, and on Twitter as @Theoilandwine. View all posts by Beverley
