MY ADVICE TO THOSE THINKING OF GIVING UP.

The past few weeks have been the happiest, fulfilling, gratifying and joyful days of my life. Why?

My bundle of' Joy Overflow' arrived.

After being married, typically people will start counting months for you. "she is not yet pregnant? "

It will increase to the question being asked to your face.
Well, I had this experience
I got married in 2015 and I was already worked up on not being pregnant.

Went for medical checkup; it was fine. Then I began to have strange dreams. That's when I knew there was a spiritual battle on my being fruitful.

I began to engage in the word of God about fruitfulness. Declaring and praying on them: 1 Timothy 2:15, Exodus 23:26, Psalms 113:9, Psalms 128:3, Malachi 3:10-11 among others.

I read books too. Like 'You Shall not be Barren' by Pastor Faith Oyedepo and 'Supernatural Childbirth' by Jackie Mize
I read this books over and over again. Practically digested them.

My Mum called me one day and shared this portion with me in Ruth 4:13. I got a different view and understanding concerning conception. The verse tells us that God granted Ruth conception when she met Boaz.
Remember, Ruth has been married before with no issue; why? Well, only God knows.
But in my opinion, it wasn't yet time.

My faith, hope and trust in God was increased and firm but I didn't do one thing Philippians 4:6-7 recommends. ... Read here

I also read in 1 Samuel chapter 1, how God shut up Hannah's womb and I read it with a fresh understanding.
One thing that strucked me was that Hannah's countenance was no longer sad and I did not do that.

So in mid 2017, I took a turn and spoke to myself  "You have prayed and fasted, people are praying for you too and God is not a joker. Why don't you relax and stop being worried and anxious. What of those that waited 20years or more before having their first issue. If you were them you would have killed yourself. When did you even get married?.  Stop listening to what people are saying and calling you. God is working something out for you".

Talk of relaxing; I relaxed and became calm and began to thank God for my children.
My relaxing began to show, for I gained weight and looked healthy. Ha! Questions and comments again; which I ignored and some I responded.

2017 Shiloh my Father in faith declared that "anyone that wants children is declared pregnant and will put to birth by September 2018."
The word was for me. The Amen I screamed made heaven shake in my direction.

January 2018 I was confirmed pregnant and September 2018 my Joy arrived.

The pregnancy journey?  Story for another day.

This testimony in a nutshell is to the glory of my God; who does marvelous things.

I encourage you not to give up. Keep holding on because your laughter is coming.

You are fruitful! (personalize it)


God bless us abundantly.

WHAT DOES SACRIFICE MEAN IN A RELATIONSHIP?

Every relationship requires some sacrifices. Even, a garden full of flowers requires sacrifice to tend it. It takes sacrifice for a farmer to reap good harvest. What does it mean to be sacrificial? Being sacrificial is being selfless and loving, all out for someone and even inconveniencing yourself. So, in your relationship, you say am not the "this type of person, I am not the that type of yen yen" and you know it can make that relationship blossom, why not make sacrifices and do it. it is called sacrificial love Maybe the sacrifice you have to make is understanding and patience, taking in the other person's mental health into consideration. Nobody was born a type of person.  School, parents, environment, experiences, church, etc ; shaped us into being some type of person. But, self centeredness and selfishness hinders us from making sacrifices. Even our Lord Jesus that died and resurrected was not the "dying type of person" to die for us, but He made that sacr...

THE YEAR HAS BEGAN.

The year 2018 was a blessed year for me. The year a significant change took place in my life;  I became a mother to a glorious baby. This change didn't seem possible but just like the song writer said "my hope is built on nothing less than Jesus Christ, my righteousness; I dare not trust the sweetest frame, But wholly lean on Jesus' name. ..." . Well, here we are in a new year; 2019. Maybe you where told by the doctor you wouldn't make it to this year, but here you are. Circumstances challenged you to give up, but here you are. After experiencing 10 hours plus of labour, it didn't seem like my baby and I would make it but God made a way and we had victory. (story for another day) Our God is faithful! Encourage yourself in the Lord this year. Committ all you instead doing to Him. Have hope but work towards achieving your hope. Develop that idea you have. Improve yourself. Above all, make prayer and studying of the word of God a life styl...

THE BEFORE

Anxiety isn't good when you are trying to conceive; first hand experience. And my anxiety wasn't just from me being disturbed about conceiving but from other factors too. Example: questions being asked, flippant comments and direct confrontations, unsolicited advice. You might say, only two years and you were worrying yourself to death. Ha! It's was like twenty two years to me. In the span of two years,a lot happened ...it was well. I was completely worked up. Those that know me in person can testify that I was a slim person but became extremely slim. I became a shadow of myself. I was eating but was not healthy. I was seriously anxious and worried. So much was said to me. Pastor Victor and his wife, Pastor Mary,  Aunty Nseabasi Etim , My mum and lots of others were a great source of strength; God bless them for me. I was doing alot of things like taking of Communion daily, anointing my stomach daily and reading the word concerning the situation. One thing was...
