WHEN YOUR ISAAC IS ORDERED

Some time later God tested Abraham. He said to him, “Abraham!”
“Here I am,” he replied.
2 Then God said, “Take your son, your only son, whom you love—Isaac—and go to the region of Moriah. Sacrifice him there as a burnt offering on a mountain I will show you.”
Genesis 22.1-2

Dear daugther, do you have an Isaac in your life? Someone that you love tenderly and cherrish, something for what you have prayed for so much and God has given you...I don't know if you know the feeling of joy that overwhelm a new mother who just gave birth to her new born baby especially if this baby was so much wanted and desired.....It is an indescriptible joy, isn't it?

Then, imagine this woman being told to give away her only child, her only joy, her only "everything" it is complicated!

I remember years ago, I was in a relationship and was so much in love with this brother, God told me "You are not ready to marry yet. I need you to put an end to this relationship. I have someone better for you". How was I devastated! God was telling me to send goodbye to that man who was then my Isaac, a very caring man, loving, God fearing whatttt? No WAY! I did try to convince God to let me pursue my relationship....

But then He became SILENT!

This silence was to tell me 'Child, I spoke to you. Now show me if You love me or you love him more than ME! It was not easy at all. I remember that during those days I was eating the epistle of Peter about God's love.

See Love is tested, it is proven, it is revealed during time of trials!

God will test your love towars Him. For that, He will not ask you something that does not matter to you! He will ask you what is cherished into your eyes! Because the Word says :

Where your treasure is, there your heart is also. Matthew 6.21

Be assured! Your love for God will be tested! If you have never given up something for God, soon will you do it and my prayer is that when this time comes, you may be ready to surrender and to give it to God.

Abraham did it by love and faith. He knew that the God that has given him the desire of his heart was able to bring back to life his son or to give him another one. Precious, God will never leave your hand empty, if He take away something from you, know He will replace it with something better. God is an expert at creating new things!

When your Isaac is ordered, show Him how much you love Him!

When your Isaac is ordered, walk by faith!

When your Isaac is ordered, keep trusting Him!

With 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 ...

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 o...

My Valentine's day ......I felt loved ......

Last week on the 14th of February, people around the world and especially love couples were celebrating Valentine's day. Many received love gifts from their husbands, wives, boy/girlfriends. It was nice for them to see couples holdhing hands and sharing a kiss to show how deeply in love they are. Most of my close friends are either in a relationships, engaged or even married. So to enjoy this day for me as a single young lady was a bit hard. I was not deseparate because in my heart I know I have the best Valentine ever, yes my Jesus ( it sounds creepy fo you, but this is the truth for me) but still spend it with someone on my side would have brighten more my day. Some people may say because they are single that" why should we celebrate this day, at the end of the day Valentine day should be celebrated everyday", they might be right, but the truth is on the day our friends who are into relationships end up celebrating this day, so why not do it as well?
