Blessing and Fatherhood

Today, I would like to share with you something very personal but I believe that this will not be in vain and that God will teach you something through my experience.


My parents are divorced since I was eight years old. I grew up with my mother and my siblings. It was difficult for me to relate now with my dad since our relationship was broken because of his divorce with my mother. I was very heartbroken and sad, I remember that I was also very traumatized ...It was a very tough time for me. I started hating all men living on this earth, and be angry with God. I was the only one among my friends who was living with one of her parents. Sometimes, my friends will come and tell me what they did with their dads during the weekend. All this broke my heart bit by bit, and soon I started hating my own dad. I started asking myself if I was the problem that led them( my mom and dad) to divorce. It was hard....



When I came to Christ, I realized that I needed to heal my heart. I needed to forgive for I did not forgive my dad for divorcing with my mother. This was very challenging. I do not remember how many times I told myself " this is it, I forgive him" but when my sisters will tell me " dad wants to see you" I will just ignore his calling....I was still hurt and sad....Then, one day I was talking to my Pastor, Reverend Glen and he told me something that I will never forget and which is so true! He told me that certain blessings will not come my way if I do not restore my relationship with my Dad. Certain blessings are given by your dads, I want to say the most important blessings in your life are given by your dad after the one God gives to you.




Fathers are the head of the family and if blessings have to be released upon the children they will be the first ones to bless them. Notice this in the Bible. See how Esau wanted to kill his own brother because this one stole his blessings from his dad! Notice how Elisah was blessed with a double annointing after seeing Elijah going to heavens. Elijah was the spiritual father of Elisah. It is so important for you and I that we have a good relationship with our physical fathers but also spiritual fathers. It was because Elisah had a good relationship with his spiritual father that he was ready and able to cactch the anointing. He could not let him alone, he wanted to stay with him until God takes him!  We will not receive certain blessings in our life just because you have a bad relationship with our dads. My dad is not perfect for sure, he has many flaws I know but I begin to realize that still he is my dad. Did God make a mistake by giving him as my dad? I do not think so. God knew he will divorce with my mother, that for sure I will be hurt and heartbroken but still He gave him as my dad!



Two weeks ago, I met my dad as he was in Cape Town for a seminar. I cannot tell you how I was blessed to have him. When I saw him, I started praying in tongues and I could see blessings falling from above. I could feel that I was now so much blessed because instead of hating him, or feeling sad I thanked God for who he is. When I left him, I was very sad to see him going back home. I never felt that way before....and it was so good to feel this way. It made me realize that I love him anyway.  I want to encourage each one of you who are not in good terms with your spiritual and physical dads to put an end to this. Whatever your dad did to you, how bad he was you need to let it go, you need to let the Holy Spirit do his job fully by restoring you and healing you.



Keeping a bad testimony of my dad did not help me in my life as a teenager. It made me become a very disobedient person because for me no men deserved to be honored and respected. I thought that way just because of my parents being divorced. The wounds in my heart were just too much for me to handle. I did not want God to heal me, and I did not want to talk about it as well. It was painful. This divorce traumatized me to a point where I decided to never get married, for I thought my husband will also divorce me! It was so bad....


God is good, and sometimes He wants us to avail ourselves so He can work in our hearts. My relationship with my dad has been restored, and my heart healed. As I said, so many blessings fell upon me because of that. I could feel myself spiritually charged with blessing while talking with my dad. In Genesis 27, we see that there was a fellowship between Isaac and Jacob before the blessing was released. Women of God, we need to build a good communion and fellowship with our dad, today I only want to talk about dad for this is my message" certain blessings will not come your way unless you have a good fellowship with your dad". You may think your dad is too bad for you to communicate with him, you may think that he is the worst dad ever that has lived on this earth but the Bible says you must honor our parents so we will live longer on this earth. Women of God, you should learn to put aside our emotions to do what God wants us to do....I do not say it is easy, I am saying we must do it for it is what pleases to God! Do you think that if you did not have a dad you would be here on this earth! You must be thankful for his life, pray for him daily for God may change his heart, that he may be saved if you know he is not. Women of God we can change so many things in people' lives just through prayer! Let us stop complaining about how bad our dad is for it is closing so many spiritual blessings in our lives. A women of God must understand that love and prayer are important.


I pray that God may restore your relationship with your dad, that you may have a true and good fellowship with him. I pray that every spiritual blessings that were stopped because of your bad communion with your dad may be released now in Jesus Name. I seal your relationship with your dad with the blood of Jesus and proclaim that God heal your heart and take your relationship with your dad to a higher level. May God bless you! Amen!



To all my wonderful ladies outta there!



Much love,

Ladies, do not compromise

Hello, LWM! I hope you had a wonderful weekend. I did by the Grace of God. Today, I would like to encourage us to stay firm in our faith. I had a chat with a friend of mine over the weekend and we were discussing about who we must marry. It was going nowhere because the person believed that she could still date an unbeliever and still be in the Will of God. I did give her the scriptures which clearly showed that God would not allow such a relationship but it was a waste of time. I am believing God that He will convince her to accept this truth. Ladies, I would like to encourage us to stay firm and not compromise our faith in Christ. We cannot play with our life this way. Marriage is a lifetime commitment, so we better be careful when it comes to choose our partner for life. I was saying to the person that I understood her view but I did not support it. I understood the fact that she said " what if I fell in love with an unbeliever?, Am I sinning?". I have been there. I

KEYS TO FULFILL YOUR SEASON OF SINGLENESS|FINAL PART

There is a time for everything under the sun. At a certain period in my life, I wanted God to reveal to me the times for His blessings in my life. I was asking Him, when will be the time for me to get a job, to enter into ministry, to get married and so on. At a point, I became very worried because to me I was in danger. But you see faith is a spiritual thing. We live by faith as Christian, we do not live by prophecies. Prophecies over our life can strengthen our faith but we cannot live by them. To God, faith is really important. Maybe you really feel alone. Maybe you see your age flying and you question God about your marriage. Know that God will not give you the exact time. He may tell you it will be in two years but He won't tell you you will meet him tomorrow. God loves to surprise us. He makes all things beautiful at his time(Ecclesiastes3:11). In this verse ,God does not talk about His time but rather on the time He appointed for this thing you want. There is a
