Romans 5: 3-5 NIV
“…but we also glory in our sufferings, because we know that suffering produces perseverance; perseverance, character; and character, hope. And hope does not put us to shame, because God’s love has been poured out into our hearts through the Holy Spirit, who has been given to us”
I would like to start off by giving Thanks to my Father who has brought me through the pits and the valleys. For years I felt that I was on a never ending roller coaster… No idea how I would ever get off, when that was all I really wanted to do…
In the past 10-12 weeks, I have been on an intense transformation journey and it has been through His Love, Goodness and Grace. He brought me back into His presence. He gave me His Spirit and reminded me of why His Son Jesus died for us.
Before I delve deeper I also like to Thank God for the pastors at Church Alive in Lyndhurst, New Jersey. I pray for continued anointing and continued Grace. I am a Resilient Woman because of this ministry (https://churchalive.tv/). I am grateful for all the truths revealed since I first walked into those church doors … And for all the unveiling that has taken place in my life. For everyone who has been used to bring me to this place, may you always have all that you need. I ought to create a Youtube page honestly as I feel that writing isn’t doing this justice, but that’s a separate discussion… 😀
I give thanks for my group leaders A and J for how amazing they have been to me…Inspiring women of God. I also thank God for prayers from V and Pastor K at the end of my transform journey. It hit me unexpectedly, but that day brought so much clarity… As they prayed for me and it was like an inner veil was being lifted and I could see points that I had never ascribed enough meaning to.
James 5: 16-17
“Therefore confess your sins to each other and pray for each other so that you may be healed. The prayer of a righteous person is powerful and effective”
In order to break familial cycles we have to be aware of them and then pray against them. I am so grateful for all the broken chains in my life and my family. I am grateful because I can say that I am free indeed.
While I remain a constant work in progress, today I can confidently speak on the fact that I am not the woman that started out in faith on the women’s transformation journey that began in my Church on Jan 23rd.
Henceforth, I will live from a place of Faith, Hope and Love, and not fear. I am a better steward of my resources and blessings. I am learning how to relate with my family, my husband and my daughter in the way that edifies God and brings peace and happiness to all of us. It has also seeped into my relationship with my boss and coworkers. While I have always believed in living for God and not man. I have let go of the resentments that held me back. Chains of familial sins have been broken and will never return. Bad seeds and trees sown unconsciously or consciously, have been uprooted and cast out.
In all this I believe in and stand upon the Power in the Word of God. Amen.
John 1:1
“In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God”
Yes I still have a lot of work to do… But I am well on my way to becoming the woman that God made me to be. I am His Instrument and Vessel. I am His Light and Salt. I pray to continue to share His Love and Goodness everywhere I go. I have been created to honor Him and I aim to do this until the end of my days on this earth. I pray that my seed will Honor Him all their lives as well. Amen.
I am excited for all that is yet to be revealed. I am open to all the growth and lessons. I am His chosen. I pray for anyone who reads this that you may find Him.
God loves you and He is always with you.
He is just waiting for you to seek Him and surrender to His Love and Goodness.
Just take the step and trust in Him…
Sending lots of Love,
-Uju
