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…
OOh maan.... my kids one day, they already mean so much to me...u know i was thinking how you raise an individual,a child... and how even at the age of 1 year..you mould your child, even teach how to pray at that early stage.
