A love letter to my Kids



One day when I am sitting with my kids and they say: “Mom, you are known all around the world for teaching the gospel with miracles, signs and wonders; you have written numerous best sellers, and you own properties nationally and internationally fit for Kings.

 You have advised presidents, Kings, Queens, ministers, mayors and statesmen and changed the destiny  nations; on top of that you are a humanitarian, called to serve, dedicating your life poverty alleviation in Africa, through various projects you are running in the wealthy continent and…. you have your own tv show viewed all around the world, changing lives and advancing the Kingdom….so mom how did you get thus far?”…I will tell them that it wasn’t always like this, that there were times when everything God said was challenged, to the point mommy almost gave in, but God kept her and the word sustained her through it all& now mommy understands that were it not for the grace of God, his love and mercy daily, she would not be who she is today.

You see my sweethearts I will say, mama must be honest with you and tell you what others might not tell you, that greatness will cost you everything, that because of the calling of God upon your life, there are certain sacrifices you have to make, not for self-glory, but for Kingdom advancement.

There are people whom you love so much, that you must walk away from, not because they are bad for you, but because they were right for that particular season, but not relevant for this one that you are in. When it gets to friends: only those anointed and permitted by God to walk with you will stand by you, till you be all that God has called you to be&vise versa.

 And you and dad they will ask?…Well*smiling* I didn’t kiss many frogs to get him, nor did I compromise myself in search for him, I know my worth. I waited in the LORD, stood on his promises, not easy at times, but GOD kept me and I waited knowing full well that God in his time will send him, but I knew he would come, he had to.. cause Gods knows my love for kids&my desire to a perfect helper to the man he chose for me…so when we met he knew me, for before the foundations of the earth God set us apart for his glory, and today you are the wonderful fruits of my patience..

 That to love people, will cost you something, your time, your resources, but mostly yourself, for to LOVE is to lay down your life for another. With that said though my anointed priests…mom has had to learn to yield and totally depend on God more than any man. I have learned that prayer connects you with the power to change thing, and it is my life, for God is my all& intimacy with him is what sustains me..

Mom has learned to see God in every man and has made it her priority with God’s help, to ensure that lives are changed, through, the word of God. I have learned that to serve is the greatest calling on earth and to help people  succeed i.e finding their purpose in Christ and living is what fulfills me most…and the key to moms greatness??….that will have to be LOVE…
