My test of Relationship

Have you found yourself once in a situation whereby you had to stay home by force? Have you found yourself in a situation whereby you could not go to church anymore? Have you found yourself in a situation where you had to pray and have your church service at home?

This has been my case for about one full week. My country was going under some political tensions and because of that no one dared go out. In fact, the ones who attempted to do that were killed and hurt, so it was wise for the population to stay home. It was a scary moment but in this period, God tested my relationship with Him.

I can describe myself as a regular church member. I am always at church services, during conferences and so on. I can never missed out a service. If I am not around, it means something happened and I could not come.

I recalled of a leader who said during a service' there will be a time where we would not be able to come to church so we have to mature as Christian and learn to pray on our own'.

Do not misunderstand me please, I do pray on my own.I do fast on my own but this was out of the church services hours.

Here I was now, on Tuesdays and Fridays as the time approaches asking myself what would I do? And the Holy Spirit to reply ' We will bring the service in your room!'

I thank God for technology. I was able to listen to a sermon and to pray about the different points elaborated by the preacher. I led myself into praise and worship. I did all the differents steps that a service would have. Prayer, Worship, the Word except the offerings.

As the days were by, I realized how much my relationship with God was tested. It was not easy I wont lie. I would wished to have my brothers and sisters by me but I had to do it alone all by myself with the Holy Spirit.

I thank God for I grew through this time. I realized that my attendance in church can not help my maturity at home. It is not because you are a leader that you are necessarily mature. Not at all!

Yes, all things work together for those who loves God. I thank God for His Grace. I thank God for the trial.I thank God for the test. We come out this only stronger and matured.

I want to encourage someone to develop the ability of spending time with God alone. Aim to spend more than a hour with God.

As I went through this test, God opened my eyes on many things. I will share some of them with you, I believe it will bless a leader, a Christian and woman of faith.

You are always blessed,

Joy.

Appearance: I do not love myself!

Have you ever looked yourself in the mirror and appreciate the person you see? Have you ever thought you were not beautiful enough, nor pretty enough? Do you love yourself? Do you love your body? The way you move? If not, then continue to read may the Spirit open your eyes to let you see the beautiful person you are in Jesus Name! Hello precious! Today, I am going to share with you about self-love. How sad it is to see many women comparing themselves to other women! It breaks my heart every time I hear a lady saying 'I just want to be like her', or 'If only I was her'. Have you ever thought this way? I think we all have...but the good news is you can decide to choose this way of thinking. You are unique. No one on earth can smile like you, can talk like you, can act like you, you are a very peculiar person, and God has no more stock of you in heaven, this should make you think twice. When I was a teenager, I used to compare myself to my little sister...

The best is yet to come! Appointment at the top!

Will I survive from this? Will I recover ? Will I smile again ? So many questions, we asks ourselves after a sad event. It may be the loss of someone, a breakup, a disease, unemployment, well after a bad case we often tend to reconsider everything in our lives. If you are at this stage, know you are not alone. Many people like you have gone through this or actually are going through this. I love the Word of God because it talks about many situations we can relate to. As it says, nothing new is before the sun, everything that is have already been, and what will be is already. So is this situation you are going through...Do you remember the story of Naomi in Judges? The Word says that after loosing her husband and her sons, she became bitter....

The right attitude for Valentine's Day...

Good day beautiful ladies! It has been years but I am around, I have been lately busy with organising my new season!!!!! I am more than excited of what God is doing now and I shall at the right time tell you more about this. Today is Valentine's Day and many single ladies like me have been asked the question of ' where is your valentine?' What are you going to do on Valentine' s Day? People have made it such an event that if we are not rooted in the Word and God's love we can feel depressed or worried especially if we are in age to marry. First of all, ladies do not take this at heart. A friend of mine who got married recently wrote this on her wall ' I am not a Valentine' s Day fan but for all those who are waiting for their husbands, keep waiting upon the Lord and trust in His timing!! It shall be well'. Maybe for this year, you thought you would have a fiance to spend this day with, maybe you hoped for this year to spend it with your h...
