“For He shall grow up before Him as a tender plant,

And as a root out of dry ground…

He shall see His seed, He shall prolong His days,

And the pleasure of the Lord shall prosper in His hand.

He shall see the labor of His soul, and be satisfied” (Is 53)

What does it mean that our Savior was a tender plant growing in a dry ground? How Jesus did survive so much opposition? Why did He not die before His hour came? What is the secret of His holy success?

When Jesus was born everything was against Him. Herod the Great hated Him. He killed all the male children but Jesus escaped. Mary and Joseph were poor people. There was no other place for Mary to have her baby except the stable where animals stayed. There is no doubt that during her labor Mary experienced feelings of rejection and loneliness. No woman, however poor she is, wants to deliver her baby in a stable. I believe that it was also cold and she had to endure the unpleasant smell of animals. The pictures of Christmas may look romantic but the reality is different. Then they became fugitives in Egypt. Eventually, they come back and settle in Nazareth. Nathaniel said about that village: “Can anything good come out of Nazareth?” The childhood of Jesus was in a place where nobody saw any good thing coming from it. Jesus did not go to a regular school He learned the trade of carpentry from his father, Joseph. It is true that He was from the royal lineage of David. That could have been something good, but Israel did not have a royal dynasty. It was the Romans that now chose their kings who had nothing to do with David. When Jesus entered ministry, the disciples that followed Him were poor un-educated people. The religious leaders hated Him and rejected His teachings. The religious leaders arrested Him and brought Him before their tribunal. Jesus did not have any lawyer. He did not even defend Himself. He did not write any book. He was a king but He did not have any army. He was eventually killed on the Cross. Humanity killed their Maker on Mount Calvary. He was buried in a rich borrowed tomb. The Roman soldiers guarded the burial place. That should have been the end of the story…

All these factors against Him describe to us the ‘dry ground’ of the life of Jesus. There was nothing in His environment that helped Jesus survive or succeed. There was no place where He could lay His head… There was no man who can take the credit of saving His life.  How then did this Jesus survive all the hatred and negativity against Him? Not only survive, but how did He succeed to become the most famous Man all over the world?  Why is His name on our lips, more than 2000 years later? Why so many people call Him their Savior? Why do so many people worship Him, in every city, every country? What is the secret of His Holy success? The answer is that He is God! He is Jehovah, I AM, the self-sufficient God, who does not need anything man has to offer to live eternally. If you are a child of God, think about your Father…

If you are ‘trapped’ in an unloving marriage and your spouse does not encourage you at all… if you are a missionary and, with all your labor of love you see no visible fruits… If you live in an area where churches are all lukewarm, you desire to mature spiritually but there is no mentor, no Spirit filled pastor…If you are alone and afraid or even hopeless, then go to Jesus Christ, the hope of Glory! Go to Jehovah, the self-sufficient God who does need His creation to live eternally! Go to the Holy Spirit who will give you the strength to live and succeed even if the whole world is against you! For no ground is as dry as the one that held the roots of the tender plant called Jesus Christ! Allow the Holy Spirit to enlarge your vision to see how that Lonely Seed planted in that dry ground, against all the odds and plans of the devil, became the King of the Kingdom of God! If you are born again then you are part of the lonely painful travail that has satisfied the Son of God! This is the work of God! If God has started a work in you, nobody can quench it! No circumstance, no enemy, no devil can destroy the work of God! Once the zeal of God is involved in a work, nothing can destroy it!

This is our testimony! This is the very faith that propelled my husband and I to have the boldness to start a church in Warri, Nigeria. The ground is dry but the seed is Holy! The faith in Jesus Christ proved to be enough for us!

Let us be encouraged to trust God when all things go against us. Like Jesus, we do not need anything to survive and succeed, only God! Jesus is enough for me! I am satisfied!

In Christ I declare:

Even if the spiritual atmosphere in Warri, Nigeria is as dry as a ‘bonga fish’, the Kingdom of God shall be established here! Many souls shall be saved!

Father’s House Bible Church is blessed!

All the glory to God!

In Jesus name,

Amen!

“Jesus Christ is the same yesterday, today, and forever” (Heb 13:8)

A sister told me a very sad story. She comes from a polygamous home. All she knew during her childhood was strife and occult spiritual war. She was 21 when armed robbers came to her parents’ house. She was alone in her room. She was raped at gun point. Her parents where in the next room but could do nothing to help her. None died during that attack.
More than 10 years have passed since then. She is now married to a good Christian who loves her and they have two beautiful children. She goes to church. She believes she is born again. But her childhood pain and especially the rape incident have left deep scars in her soul. I was surprised when she told me ‘Malia, I am not a special person’. She is very beautiful but she feels ugly. She is a graduate but she feels foolish. She told me that she made up her mind not to weep anymore. The last time she cried was more than a year ago. She is full of fears, that armed robbers may come and harm her family, especially children. She acknowledges that her husband is a good and generous man but she is not really happy in her marriage. For the past few years she could not convince herself to go and visit her parents. She says that she has not forgiven them for not helping her at the point of her deepest need. She knows that there was nothing they could do with criminals carrying guns, but still she holds them responsible for her shame.

She is now a very busy successful woman. Looking at her, nobody will believe she carries such pain. But face to face with me she opened up and she shared her pain. She struggled to remain calm but thank God for the Holy Spirit who set her free to weep. “There is a time to weep…” This time, there were not tears of bitterness or anger, but tears of relief that a burden can be shared with someone stronger than her who will not judge her past. She kept this secret hidden in her heart for too long. Her husband knew about it but she was afraid to tell anyone else.

Today we had a Holy Communion service. She was in my heart when I took the bread and the wine. May the Blood of Jesus heal the broken heart of this dear sister! May the Blood of Jesus create a bridge of forgiveness and reconciliation between parents and their daughter! May God grant salvation to her parents! May God bring peace in her marriage! May God’s destiny for her be fulfilled! May she become a woman of God who can minister comfort and encouragement to other souls in need!

I use her as a point of contact to speak life, healing, peace and joy to other rape victims who read this letter! God loves you! No man can save you! No man can help you at the point of your greatest need! That is the truth! Only Jesus can help! He came to die for you that you may be free from the condemnation of sin! Jesus Christ, the High Priest, intercedes for you right now in heaven! There is no new Jesus! There is no new Gospel! Jesus Christ is the same forever! In these changing times, during different seasons of life, when people come and people go, let this be your strength and comfort: Jesus is the same, yesterday, today and forever! Believe in God! Come to the Cross! The Blood of Jesus has power to save and to heal! God bless you all!

“Have you been to Jesus for the cleansing pow’r?
Are you washed in the blood of the Lamb?
Are you fully trusting in His grace this hour?
Are you washed in the blood of the Lamb?”

Lastly, please pray for me that I continue to find favor with the many people who come to my office in their time of need! I need your prayers! Thank you!

In Christ I declare:
I am washed in the Blood of the Lamb!
I am fully trusting God’s grace this hour!
My Savior Jesus Christ is the same forever!
Jesus has saved my soul and has healed my body!
Jesus Christ intercedes for me right now!
My God is faithful!
All glory to the Lamb upon the throne!
In Jesus name
Amen!

“So Abraham took the wood of the burnt offering and laid it on Isaac his son; and he took the fire in his hand, and a knife, and the two of them went together. But Isaac spoke to Abraham his father and said, “My father!”

And he said, “Here I am, my son.”

Then he said, “Look, the fire and the wood, but where is the lamb for a burnt offering?”

And Abraham said, “My son, God will provide for Himself the lamb for a burnt offering.” So the two of them went together” (Gen 22: 6-8)

Mount Moriah and Mount Calvary stand together as a wall around Jerusalem. Their destinies are connected. This story in Gen3sis 22 is a symbol of the Cross. Abraham stands for God the Father. Isaac stands for God the Son. In this chapter Isaac is not a small boy. His particular age is not given but he should be a man in his thirties. A boy cannot carry enough wood on his back to burn a human body. In the next chapter, when his mother Sarah dies at 127, he was 37 years old. Both Isaac and Jesus were born miraculously. Both Isaac and Jesus died in their thirties. God tells Abraham to leave Hebron city and to go towards Jerusalem, on the top of Mount Moriah. That was a three days journey. The events on Mount Moriah happen on the third day. Jesus rose from the grave on the third day. Abraham takes two servants. Not three or four, just two. He tells them to remain some distance away. They represent the two thieves crucified along with Jesus. But the last part of the journey is done by father and son alone. Salvation is of God alone. No man can take the credit. Abraham lays on Isaac’s back the wood for the burning sacrifice. The word ‘wood’ appears 5 times in this chapter. It stands for the burden of sin and death. Jesus carried his wooden cross to Mount Calvary. The same word ‘to lay on him’ appears in Is 53:6!

“We all, like sheep, have gone astray, each of us has turned to our own way; and the Lord has laid on him the iniquity of us all”

Both Isaac and Jesus were obedient unto death. They accepted the plan of their father even when it was very difficult. They were both persecuted by their brethren.

Isaac questions his father: “Where is the lamb?’ Abraham wisely answers: “God himself will provide the lamb for the burnt offering, my son.” He did not say ‘a lamb’ but ‘the lamb’. The ram found in the thicket was not a lamb.

The question “Where is the Lamb?’ was answered more than a 1000 years later; It is not any sacrifice, but a particular Lamb approved by God that could take away the sins of the world. Jesus Christ, the Lamb of God was crucified on Mount Calvary. The first man to recognize the Lamb of God was John: “Look! The Lamb of God who takes away the sin of the world!” (Jn 1:29).

You have to use your imagination and see Isaac carrying away on his back the pile of wood that could have killed you. Do you know the Lamb of God? Has He taken away your sins? Are you free from the punishment and shame of sins? Do not look around at the circumstances. Look unto Jesus, the Author and Finisher of your faith! You may have heard this invitation but the Word of God never changes! Come to Jesus and become a child of God!

God provided His Beloved Son as a sacrifice for my sins. His provision is my protection forever! I am saved to the uttermost. I shall not lose my salvation for it is too deep in my spirit to be removed. He that started a good thing in me shall perfect it until that wonderful day when we shall see face to face! Hallelujah!

“Forever You will be

The Lamb upon the throne

And I gladly bow my knees

To worship You alone!”

In Christ I declare:

I am born again!

I am free indeed!

In Jesus name

Amen!

Last week a brother in the church received threats from kidnappers to pay a huge amount of money in a particular account. They said that if he refused, they will harm him and his family. He was shaking with fear. The pastor advised that he should not to make any deals with the evil men. Thank God he obeyed. He reported the matter to the police. But there is no other protection greater than faith in the Word of God.

This evening there was a sweet and strong anointing in the service. The Lamb of God visited us. We all bowed at His feet. God loves Father’s House. God loves us. Then the message followed.

“As the mountains surround Jerusalem,

So the Lord surrounds His people

From this time forth and forever” (Ps 125:2)

This is a very pretty verse but what does it mean that the Lord surrounds His people like the mountains surround Jerusalem? Pray for a fresh revelation from the Holy Spirit! There are seven mountains that surround Jerusalem:

1-Mount Moriah (Provision)

2-Mount Calvary (The Cross)

3-Mount Bethsaida (Mercy)

4-Mount Scopus (Healing)

5-Mount of Olives (Anointing)

6-Mount Opel (Protection)

7-Mount Zion (Strength)

Today we shall take a trip to Jerusalem.  We shall climb two of the mountains that surround the city God loves more than any other on this earth (Ps 87:1-3). I am talking about Mount Moriah and Mount Calvary. This trip will give you a fresh revelation of the price and power of love. In Hebrew, the word ‘Moriah’ is a combination of two words translated as ‘Seen or Provided by Jehovah’. The word means to see, to be near, to experience, to have visions, prophecy, to enjoy, to perceive, to provide, to have respect (for my needs). It is closely connected with God’s name as Jehovah Jireh, God the Provider. This is a great revelation: God’s provision surrounds and protects me. If God has given you a gift, marriage, children, money, friends…these are not liabilities. You do not have to defend them. You do not have to fear that you shall lose them. They are a wall of grace and protection for you.

Genesis 22 is one of the most powerful Chapters in the Bible. Here we are introduced to a love story on top of Mount Moriah. Abraham is 130 years old man. God wants to test him. This means that we are never too old to be students of the Bible and to receive a test from our Heavenly Teacher. The test is about the purity of his worship. . It was a test of love, to prove that there is no idol in Abraham’s heart to compete with God. The greatest danger to become an idol was his son Isaac. 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.” This is the first time that the word ‘love’ appears in the Bible. Love is connected with testing, sacrifice and death. It is the reason for the ram substitute, the redemption provided to save Isaac from death. “Love is as strong as death” (SS 8:6)

Who is your Isaac? Is it success, education, your job, your reputation, marriage, your children, a hobby, money, properties or your own selfish desires? You need to come to Mount Moriah and offer your love there. You also have to go to Mount Calvary to see what the Father provided for the atonement of our sins and many blessings added to salvation. Out Isaacs can take the place of God and can ruin our worship. On Mount Moriah I lose my Isaac. Jehovah Jireh is a jealous God. He is also called El Qanna. On Mount Calvary I gain my Lord. Christ is my reward. Come to the Mountain where God can be seen! Come to the mountain where God provides Himself to you! I am surrounded and totally protected by God’s revelation of His provision.

In Christ I declare:

Jehovah Jireh is my God!

God has provided a sacrifice for my sins!

Jehovah Jireh ‘has respect’ for my needs!

I have eternal life!

God’s provision is my protection!

No more fears!

I am saved by the Blood of the Lamb of God!

All glory to God!

In Jesus name

Amen!

“Then the Lord said, “I will not allow people to live forever; they are mortal. From now on they will live no longer than 120 years.” (Gen 6:3, GN)

Adam and Eve could have lived forever. But sin brought death with it. After the fall men lived hundreds of years.  With sin reigning in man’s flesh, God made a new decree and limited the number of years man can live on earth. God said that it will be maximum 120 years. That is all they have to repent of their sins. Even after God’s decree, Abraham lived 135 years, to prove the grace of God on his life. Jacob was asked by Pharaoh: “How old are you?” He was embarrassed to say that he is (only!) 130 years old for his ancestors lived much longer than him. Moses lived 120 years.  Even at that age his eyesight wasn’t impaired and he was still vigorous and strong. These are just few examples of what we call ‘a long life well spent’. Why limit God’s plan for your life?

This is a question: How many people do you know who live above 100 years? Do you know that three quarters of all untimely deaths are preventable and life style related? This is the conclusion of medical science. We do well to pay attention to this information. Doctors say that you have to make a change in your life style if you want to live long. When you are young you do not feel the need to do that. But as the body ages you have to become wiser taking care of your body which is the temple of the Holy Spirit.

If you want to live long, this is the medical advice:

*Do not smoke cigars or take illegal drugs

*Do not drink alcohol

*Do not be overweight

*Reduce salt in the food

*Keep your Blood pressure under control

*Exercise your body and your mind

*Do not over-work. Rest and enjoy your life

Of course, as believers, we add this:

*Give your life to Christ! Be born again!

*Attend a good living church!

*Read your Bible daily. Memorize the Word of God. Apply (obey) the Word of God in daily living!

*Pray daily!

*Rejoice always!

*Repent of any known sin so that your conscience is at peace!

*Serve God in any ministry!

*Be a blessing to many!

*Marry well!

I wish you all long life and prosperity!

In Jesus name

Amen!

“Whoever listens to Me will live in safety and be at ease, without fear of harm” (PV 1:33)

Do you want to be delivered from all fears? It is possible, you know…

I do not have to fight my enemies. I do not have to be worried about the plans of the wicked. My duty as a child of God is to ‘listen’ to my Father. The word means to hear intelligently, to understand what the Bible is saying with the clear intent to obey its commands. My attitude is that of a student and a son (daughter). I want to please my Father in heaven. I want to know God better. It gives me pleasure to read and meditate upon the commands of God, so that I can obey them. I want to be known as an obedient teachable child. I want to be known as a wise child who builds his life on the Rock. I want to be known as a student of the Bible. I want to see how my life will change as I obey God’s Word. This is my ambition in life.

This is God’s promise:

If I really obey God’s Word (not just pretend to do it) then I shall be free from all fears! My obedience to the Bible will destroy the fear of trouble, harm, evil, witchcraft, kidnapping and untimely death. I do not need a personal prophet, mobile police, a medical doctor, a banker, a lawyer or a politician to feel safe in this world. All I need is God, faith in Him and obedience to His Word. The older I get, the more I love obeying God. I now experience a higher level of peace, joy and rest in my soul, like never before. I still remember the past with its crazy fears and many insecurities, questions without answers…what do people say…what if the laugh at me…what if a witch places a spell on me and I get sick… what if I get poor and end up on the streets…what…what?

But now is different. I do not have to pretend for the real peace has come.

My advice to you is this: go back to the Bible like you have never read it before. Do not read the Bible casually. Do not read it to impress your spouse. Read it for yourself; slowly and with faith. Imagine that your Father in heaven speaks to you thru its pages. It is a letter of love. Any time the Holy Spirit brings to your attention the need to obey, pray for strength and just do it. Do not delay obedience! It does not matter the price. The reward is by far greater than the sacrifice. Then you enter the exclusive club of them that believe! You shall be bold like a lion, confident and sure of your identity! You shall know the security of the believer and the glorious eternal future in Christ. That is your inheritance! This is God’s promise to His obedient Children and God can never lie!

“This is what the Lord Almighty, the God of Israel, says to all those I carried into exile from Jerusalem to Babylon: “Build houses and settle down; plant gardens and eat what they produce. Marry and have sons and daughters…

For I know the plans I have for you,” declares the Lord, “plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future. Then you will call on me and come and pray to me, and I will listen to you. You will seek me and find me when you seek me with all your heart” (Jeremiah 29)

Not too long ago I met a Christian brother. I reminded him that he owes me a testimony. That he should pay his spiritual debt to me. Last year I gave him a prophetic word that God will help him to build his own house in Warri. He said Amen! One year later, I was expecting some manifestation of that word. At least a stone upon another…Then he said that not much has been done to come back with a testimony. He bought a piece of land but then he stopped. He told me that he got a surprising supernatural increase in finances. Then he got a promotion in his job to work in another bigger city. His family is still in Warri.

He said that all his new colleagues over there in the big city discouraged him to go back and build a house in Warri; that Warri is a village… that Warri is a waste of time… Their voices were so strong that he could not go ahead and build in Warri. He could not confront them and he kept quiet. He could not tell them about the prophetic word. They could have insulted him the more. From time to time his conscience worried him about the past prophetic word. He suddenly got ‘stuck’. He said that is why he could not move right or left. Doubt attacked the word spoken. He became weak and discouraged to do anything at all. He told me that he wanted to start the building in January because this is the year of the Limitless God. But he could not do anything even will all the money in the bank. This is a very intelligent, hard working and creative brother, but his spirit was quenched and his body became weak.

I reminded him of our conversation last year and the prophetic word spoken then. Immediately the light of God shone on his face. I could see his eyes sparkle with a new hope, a new courage and faith to obey. As a doctor I saw life coming back in someone who has fainted. The very color of the lips changes…It is the same spiritually!

This time he said that he is ready. He promised that next time we see he shall not be ashamed at his backsliding lukewarm cowardly attitude but he will have a good report to share with me. I left him encouraged! I too was encouraged!

This is a lesson for all: if God has spoken a word to you, thru the Bible or thru His prophets, do not be slow to obey it. The word may sound foolish, but God knows all the factors and He knows what is best for you. It does not matter how big a city or a country is! It does not matter how beautiful that woman is! It does not matter how big that church is! You walk by faith and not by sight! The only thing that matters is to trust and obey God. He will provide all that you need, guidance, favor with strangers, money and resources, peace and joy in the heart, and the shining testimony that He is your God! What else do you want? Be content with the plan and purpose of God for nothing is better than that!

As for me, I wait for you to come back with many testimonies of God’s grace power and might!

Yes, after reading this letter, you owe me a testimony of encouragement that Jesus is your Lord!

For nothing is impossible to him who believes!

TRAVEL DIARY 10

“He (Jesus) was in the world, and the world was made through Him, and the world did not know Him. He came to His own and His own did not receive Him. But as many as received Him, to them He gave the right (the power) to become children of God, to those who believe in His name: who were born, not of blood, nor of the will of the flesh, nor of the will of man, but of God” (John 1:10-13)

This is the last page in my diary concerning our recent travelling abroad. We came back to Lagos last night. In the airport there was unnecessary delay, asking useless questions, officials begging for money…sad…sad…sad…

Outside the arrivals, they did not allow the taxis to come close. We had to roll our load quite a distance. We saw a free passage to the right of the airport. Loaded with our suitcases, we tried to take that path. Suddenly two soldiers, a man and a woman, came with guns to stop us. They said that we cannot go there, for that path is only for ‘diplomats’. In my heart I quickly said a prayer. I reminded myself that we are the ambassadors of Christ. Immediately, without any explanation, the woman soldier changed her mind and allowed us to pass. In passing I told her: “God bless you, madam!” She answered me: “Na God bless you I de chop?” (translated it means, ‘God bless you is too small for me; this greeting does not feed me; I need some money’). I did like I do not understand what she meant.and moved on. This is so sad, when someone chooses money in place of God’s blessings…She could have been happier with 500 naira, maybe; that is about $4. I was sorry for her husband or children if she had those…

As royal priests we are to bless people in the name of the Lord. The simple answer to such a royal greeting is “Amen!” That means you have received the blessing of God! This greeting is life to the spirit! It shall manifest for good, one way or another. No amount of money can buy the grace of God. Rejecting God’s Word of blessing is foolishness to say the least.

This particular journey has ended. Another will start soon…
I wanted to close these letters on a better note. But this is not fiction and I cannot invent the characters of the story. I wrote it in my diary as I saw it, thru the eyes of Christ. This painful re-entry in Nigeria reminds me that Christ came for needy sinners. The travelling was a good time to rest and be refreshed. But there is no need of romantic dreaming outside the reality of this life. I am also reminded that the evil spirit of religion has done great harm to many people. Especially in Nigeria. So, coming down from the mountain of transfiguration with its glimpses of glory and grace, there is work to do down in the valley. We have placed our hands on the plow! We cannot look back…Nothing shall discourage us! For as long as Jesus is Lord, ministry done in the power of the Holy Spirit shall be successful!. We declare the Lordship of Jesus Christ over Nigeria! If the devil likes it or not, many souls shall be saved in this beautiful but hurting land.
So, Nigeria, Warri, here I come…
Blessed is he who comes in the name of the Lord!

Love in Christ alone
Malia. 

TRAVEL DIARY 9

“He (The Holy Spirit) will tell you what is yet to come…” (Jn 16:13)

No man knows the future. Only God, and He will not tell anyone, except to His children. The Holy Spirit gives us glimpses of the hope ahead. These are like light posts to guide us in the way. We do not have to know everything, but seeing the lights, like a pilot landing in darkness, we find the path ahead.

Let me be more practical. Going to Istanbul and back to Lagos, the weather was rough. Both flights had to pass thru serious periods of turbulence. A woman was praying in tongues loudly. Many anxious sounds were heard all over. But we kept calm with a supernatural peace. Why was it so?

The first thing I can say is that we trusted in God! Not in the pilot or any man, but it God. Secondly, we trusted in a prophetic word we received in the morning. The Holy Spirit revealed to us something we shall do at the end of February 2016. We have already said amen to that word. It simply follows that we can’t die before then.  This is a simple lesson we had to apply today. We rejected the evil spirit of fear! All the rough weather in the sky could not shake us for God is not the author of confusion.

Has the Holy Spirit given you a glimpse of things to come? Then He that showed you a little of your future is in control today! Any challenge you may face now is temporary! Learn to say: ‘This came to pass…” Have peace! Start rejoicing that you are a child of God! Praise God for the privilege of seeing the light shining in darkness, of knowing what to do even when all things seem hopeless!

Trust God!!!

As we finally landed, another surprise… the background music on Turkish airlines was this: “Do something new in my life, something new in my life…O, Lord!”

(can you believe that? God is wonderful…)

We came to the end of this journey and already God is planning a new wonderful thing for us…I love this God, there is no other like Him!

May God restore your ‘wounded’ peace and your ‘scattered’ joy! At the end of the storm the rainbow sends greetings…be strong in The Lord and in the power of His might! In Jesus name, Amen!

TRAVEL DIARY 8

“A new command I give you: Love one another. As I have loved you, so you must love one another. By this all men will know that you are my disciples, if you love one another” (Jn 13:34, 35)

The last time we came to Istanbul, we met a wonderful young man. He was an engineering student here in Istanbul but working part time as a receptionist at the hotel where we stayed. He went out of his way to make us happy. He upgraded our room without us asking for such a favor. When leaving, we gave him a gift of money. He was so surprised and asked us why. We said that he can be our son in the university. That he can use the money freely and happily. His name is Aslan.
We prayed that he may see the love of Jesus in our gift.

Yesterday we came at the same hotel. The new receptionist is his friend. He said that Aslan told him that any time we come he should inform him. Later in the day, whole we went out, Aslan came all the way from the university campus and he dropped a box of Turkish sweets and a ‘thank you’ note inside.
This is what the note said (I did not edit his English so that the sweet fragrance of it may come to you):

“Hello!
I was working here when you came this hotel first time. I quit this job but I talked about you to the new receptionist who is my friend. And he said to me you came again. You gave me a gift when you are leaving. Cause I am a student. It affects me so much and I want to thank you with this Turkish delight (I am sure they are not as sweet as much as you :)) Because you showed me being a good people independent of religion, race and nationality…Hope see you again, Mr and Mrs Leigh (two beautiful hearts)
Aslan”

May God bless Aslan with the blessings and the saving revelation of Jesus Christ!
In Jesus name
Amen!

The journey continues…

TRAVEL DIARY 7

“When they had all had enough to eat, He (Jesus) said to His disciples: Gather the pieces that are left over. Let nothing be wasted. So they gathered them and filled twelve baskets…” (Jn 6:12, 13)

During this trip we eat more than the usual amount of food. We may have an excuse for it was a Holiday. In the cruise ship there is buffet 24 hours. Much food is wasted and given to the fishes in the sea. The sea gulls follow the ship too for crumbs of food.

Jesus fed thousands with only few loaves of bread and fish. He told the people to sit down and eat. Then the crowds left. Why did Jesus told the disciples that the bread left on the grass should be gathered and kept? A simple answer is that Jesus does not want us to be wasteful in general and with our food in particular. This is the command of the Provider…Even if it was a miracle, we shall give an account of what was used and also of what was not used for the needs of that day.

God’s blessings and gifts are much more abundant and greater than our needs. For example, you are sick with malaria. You pray for healing and then the fever goes away. With that healing, other blessings follow: financial, spiritual, more peace, more joy…At last, you feel so good, so grateful, but often you don’t know what to do with the extra grace. Do not be passive in the mist of that overflow! Worship the Generous Loving Extravagant Provider God! Jesus says to be careful to acknowledge the work of Jehovah Jireh…to thank Him for the generous supply that came right in time, as an answer to prayer for your limited need…the supply is given according to God’s riches of His glorious grace in Christ Jesus….you are to preserve the extra blessings for a later need….You need to be prudent with the grace of God! You shall give an account for the way you invested it!

Have you thought of that?

Many squander and abandon the gifts supplied by God for past needs… Later, they pray for a miracle but there is no answer from God for the overflow is still in their savings account. Past blessings are to be used for later needs!!!

From the overflow of so many lessons from my past I had to use and re-use the same Word of God, again and again, not one letter was wasted. The Syrian woman was ready to die for crumbs of mercy, for her daughter’s healing…these are broken pieces of bread, crumbs of life… the dogs play with them under the table of carelessness….this is waste and laziness and sin, to leave food on your plate and grace unused stagnant in your spirit…

“Dear Father God, forgive me for wasting much grace in the past. Please help me to gather the extra blessings I may not need today, for future needs I know nothing about, so that I should never be anxious for tomorrow, knowing that You are more than enough for me, in all situations of life, present and the future. Help me to see how great You are! Help me to be a good steward of your gifts, grace and blessings given for past needs. Help me to be wise and to re-invest them in future challenges…In Jesus name, Amen”

TRAVEL DIARY 6

“Get up; go away! For this is not your resting place yet…” (Micah 2:10)

One of the most difficult things to do is to keep walking until you reach your destination. We easily find excuses to sit down. Every nice bench will do for tired bones. Even the floor looks inviting…

This hotel room looks better than my own back home. The bathroom is marble and the door is made of mirror. So why leave and go? Because it is not mine! I have not reached my resting place. I am a pilgrim in this world. This place is good but the future planned by God for me is much better. So I learn to enjoy this moment …and then let it pass…for the promise of hope to have a chance and a space to manifest.

If God has given you a promise of a better future… if you are praying but the things are still not taking shape…if things distract you along the way, even then…still keep moving… until you cross the finishing line, until you reach your resting place.

A happy marriage is one of the resting places on this earth, no doubt about it…this is the word: if you are ‘unhappily’ married, keep praying, do not settle for less, the hotel is not your house and the hotel maid is not your wife…if you are not married, then move on with fasting and prayer until your life partner shall manifest…you shall not fall in love with a stranger, with a hotel greeter…your own is your own…

I encourage you to press on and fulfill your destiny in Christ, for all God’s children are special and their peace and joy is assured!

Get up now and keep moving…I am looking behind to see you coming… Do not disappoint me…soon, you shall see us moving ahead..

OYA! Keep moving…the best is yet to come!

(the word ‘Oya’ in Nigerian slang means “Let’s go!)

TRAVEL DIARY 5

‘Love is patient’ (1 Cor 13:4)

This trip is wonderful. My dear husband surprised me today. After 40 years of happy fruitful marriage, he bought me a diamond engagement ring. The truth is that when we got married we were both students and could not afford one. He promised me that one day, ‘when we have money’ he will buy one. After so many years, I forgot about it. We have gone in and out many gold shops and we never discussed that matter again.
That is why I was so surprised today…we went on this street, an ordinary street, and we entered this shop of ‘gold and diamonds’. He then said I should chose an engagement ring. I was surprised and a little embarrassed for I was not sure if he is joking or not. But he was serious…I prayed a quick prayer that the Holy Spirit should guide me…I did not know what is the latest fashion in engagement rings…then I saw this one, simple and perfect to my eyes, the ring was smiling, that is how I saw it…and I said: ‘This one I like…’ In less than 5 minutes it was mine, together with a certificate of value and the rest…My heart felt young…the promise given 40 years ago was fulfilled faster than I thought…the waiting was long but the manifestation was quick.
Right now, on my 60 years old wrinkled finger, shine the diamonds…today I laughed like Sarah of old…share in my happiness, please…

I encourage you to be patient to the end…There is a day and an hour when the promises of youth become real…be patient…the end of the matter is better than the beginning…trust me, I know…

“For where two or three come together in My name there I am with them” (Mt 18:20)

We arrived at Hamburg airport this evening. There was a waiting line for the taxi outside. One very active driver already carried some of our luggage inside his car. But the six of us wanted to be together. Then out of nowhere a bigger van came and the new driver told the other that he will take care of all of us. He was ‘a black man’. We were already happy now feeling like home…
Immediately we entered, he put on the music. We could not believe our ears. This is what came from the sound system: ‘Ancient words, ever true, changing me and changing you, we have come with open hearts, let the ancient words impart…Your loving kindness is better than life…my lips shall praise You…’ This was a wonderful surprise for it is very rare to hear Christian music in a taxi in Europe.

Then we started talking…the taxi driver was a born again child of God. His name is Ferdinand. He lives in Hamburg for the past 23 years. He is from Cameroon. Life was difficult here and this is how he gave his life to Christ.
O…the wonderful gift to be welcomed by a blessed brother, coming in the name of The Lord…Before the journey we have prayed that our steps shall be guided by The Lord. It is not only buildings we came to see, but, like the rose of the desert, the fragrance of Christ was found in the most unexpected places.I can’t explain the joy we all felt knowing that Jesus was with us in the taxi and that all we shall experience in this trip is a gift from His gracious hand.

Loneliness is a bad thing. No believer should feel lonely for too long… We do not know everything and everybody, but we know the One who knows it all…Let me tell you this, there is no ‘travel agent’ like the Holy Spirit…Yes, this is a good feeling to know I am a child of the Most High God!
May you never take for granted the ancient Words of God and the presence of the Holy Spirit…Your God goes before you to make the crooked unfamiliar roads straight, to prepare the place in advance, to drive away the enemies, to give you favor with all men and many tokens of His sweet presence along the way…life becomes easy and sweet…

I feel like royalty right now…come and join ‘the Club of the ambassadors for Christ’… It is not just 5 stars, forget the way men count them…it is the Kingdom of God made of limitless stars for they are all safe in His hands…
I am filled with the Spirit right now…don’t blame me that I am so happy…and don’t just stay there and grumble or be jealous…no need for that…You can be happy too…Come to Jesus! Come to the Bible! Be filled with the Holy Spirit!
The journey continues…

“The Father will give you another Comforter to be with you forever, the Spirit of Truth…” (Jn 14:16, 17)

We arrived at Istanbul airport today. The whole place was very busy, no place to seat down, no place to eat. We had to wait four hours. We did not know what to do or where to go. We were tired and hungry. Then we remembered that there is a place to rest in the upper area of the airport. We went there, and to our surprise, they welcomed us like home. For a small amount of money, we could seat down, lie down and sleep, eat, use their free Internet and even take a shower. All was included in the price. This was like an oasis in the desert. The name of the place was “The Comfort Room”. 

We often forget that God has prepared everything for the journey of life, that we are not alone, we are not orphans. We suffer and weep and complain that things are too difficult in life. We say we trust God but the truth is that we do not. We trust ourselves, in our strength and wisdom. Life can be so much easier if we can find the Comforter, the Spirit of Truth who sets free, who gives rest to the soul and body. The Holy Spirit is the One who guides us, who over-rules our mistakes, who walks alongside us, every moment, to encourage and to give peace. As a child of God, the Holy Spirit is with you always. You are not alone. Therefore you do not have to feel alone! You do not have to feel poor, ugly or rejected! Come to the Upper Comfort Room where saints rest and become refreshed. Jesus has paid the bill for your peace! Just a drop of liquid joy is stronger than depression and all fears! 
When the strange crowd pushes you here and there, and like Noah’s dove you find no rest for your feet, then run back to the Ark, run back to Jesus! There is no other place I know to redirect your tired bones. In a foreign land, I have tested of His eternal Comfort today… Have peace!

TRAVEL DIARY 2

“When the day of Pentecost came…All of them we’re filled with the Holy Spirit…Now they were staying in Jerusalem Jews from every nation under heaven…from Cappadochia …What does this mean?” (Ac 2:1-12)

Today we travelled all over the land of Cappadochia in Turkey. There is no place on earth like this. The volcanic ashes mixed with the rain water and thewind has made some very strange designs unique in the world. Inside these natural structures the Christian believers in the first centuries came to hide from their persecutors. There are hundreds of caves connected underground. We saw the secret places where they were hiding, the place where they fed their animals, their kitchens…from place to place they had huge round stones that could be pushed even by the women to block some corridors from enemies who pursued them even below the earth.

We sang “He is Lord, He is Lord! He has risen from the dead, He is Lord! every knew shall bow, every tongue confess, that Jesus Christ in Lord!” I have sang this chorus at home or in the church, but nothing like singing it below the earth, in the very same place where our brethren, 2000 years ago, gathered to worship. The Word of God is fresh even in the caves:
“God exalted Him (Jesus Christ) to the highest place and gave Him the name that is above every name, that at the name of Jesus every knee should bow, in heaven and on earth and under the earth, and every tongue confess that Jesus Christ is Lord to the glory of God the Father” (Phil 2:9-11)

We saw churches carved in the rocks, with the paintings still fresh on the walls. Believers from all over the world came to see those wonders. There are no services there. The area is an open air museum. But we followed the feet of our brothers and sisters who 2000 years ago came to settle in this area of unique beauty.
We gathered our courage and went high in a hot air balloon to see the sun rise. We saw the land of Cappadokia from the sky. I know that it is impossible to seat at home and imagine what I am trying to say… but one thing is clear, people come and people go…religions and cultures pass over the earth, in seasons known by Him alone. But God never changes. His stamp is on earth so that none can take His glory.

My friend…Lift up your eyes from the circumstances around you. These are too small to worry about them. Do not limit God! Life is more than work and eat. May you have the courage to obey God’s command: ‘Rejoice always!’ May the joy of the Lord crush the anxiety in you! If people underground could worship God Almighty, we have no excuse! Rejoice always! And I say again, rejoice!

(Just in case you think that I am joking, I am not. I am very happy with God, with my husband, with myself and with the dear brethren here).

TRAVEL DIARY 1

‘Do not arouse or awaken love until it so desires’ (SS 2:7).
We are far away from our comfort zone at home. The smells, the sounds, the weather, the food…all is different … But God is here, with us, so I feel good…i feel safe…

Love has its own ‘agenda’…its own seasons and times…like the ocean tide, it goes higher or lower, according to the law of its source…love hates cages, limitations and control…when it is free it sings and invents things none could imagine…

Dear friend, I think of you… If today was hard, if things did not work well, if you are sick or sad…even then, have hope, for the Lover’s song is composed for you and you shall hear its strings soon…yes, I am in love with Jesus, you can tell…

This afternoon, we had lunch at Goreme Cappadochia…can you believe this? The name of the owner of the small road side, but very nice restaurant was Jesus. The food was very good, the smiles also…we said ‘Thank you, Jesus’ many times today…for the rice, for the garden egg salad, for the vegetables and fruits…thank you Jesus. We were so impressed with the restaurant that Jesus took us at the backyard to show us the chef. His old mother was cooking all these wonderful dishes in an old fashioned Turkish kitchen…No, her name was not Mary…but she was a sweet old woman who could not speak English but she could cook first class…

Love is aroused…Love is awaken…its desire is to have my heart, to fill it all…with new fresh wine…this is a new season for us all…Grateful and happy, for God’s love and detailed care to me and my family, I send you greetings…

Thank You, Lord Jesus!!!

“And it happened when He was in a certain city, that behold, a man who was full of leprosy saw Jesus; and he fell on his face and implored Him, saying, “Lord, if You are willing, You can make me clean.”

Then He put out His hand and touched him, saying, “I am willing; be cleansed.” Immediately the leprosy left him. And He charged him to tell no one, “But go and show yourself to the priest, and make an offering for your cleansing, as a testimony to them, just as Moses commanded.” (Lk 5:12-14)

There was a man who was very sick. Not only that he had leprosy, an incurable disease at that time, but he was ‘full of leprosy’. There was no hope for him among men. There was no doctor who can cure him. The only hope was found in Jesus. Let’s follow this sick brother and see the path of a healing miracle.

The first thing this man did was to come to Jesus! He saw Jesus. The Bible says that ‘Blessed are the pure in heart, for they shall see God’ (Mt 5:8). Because of his leprosy, this man’s body was counted as unclean. But his heart was ‘clean’ for he saw Jesus as His Lord. Then he fell at the feet of Jesus in true worship. Lastly he prayed making a specific request of healing. Jesus touched the man with His hand and simply said: “I am willing. Be cleansed!” In other words: “I am willing to grant you a miracle! It is my pleasure and joy to heal you! I even desire to bless you more than you’ll ever know! Be healed!”

“Immediately the sickness left him. The word means to be loosed from the chains of sufferings and bondage. The man was free on the spot. Can you imagine the feeling? The body was healed, but can you imagine what happened in him mind; the feelings of gratitude that flooded his soul? This is what Jesus is ‘willing to give to you! If you just believe Him with all your heart!

The Jesus told him something very interesting, to maintain his healing. Jesus said that he should not just go and ‘tell’ men the story, like a spiritual gossip. That will not honor God. He told the man to go to the church and present himself to the pastor bring along a sacrificial offering to God. The miracle should be followed by a public testimony in the church to give glory to God, to disgrace the devil and to encourage the brethren. Just talking about your healing is not good enough. You waste precious oil of anointing. Come to God and to His house and honor Him with ‘an official testimony’ that will be used as weapon against the accuser of the brethren (Rev 12:11)

In other words, Jesus is the author and the center of faith for a miracle. These are the steps to receive and retain a genuine Bible miracle for any need at all:

FAITH- COME- SEE- WORSHIP- PRAYS- HEALED- TESTIFIES- OFFERING!

Whatever is your problem, sickness, poverty, loneliness, singleness, marriage crisis, joblessness…the answer is found at the feet of Jesus. Men can help but not always. But Jesus never fails. Why do you make Jesus the last option? Why do you waste your precious time? Jesus is willing to help you, to change your circumstances, to heal you. He is not too far from you that He cannot hear your prayers! Come to Him in humble worship and with a definite prayer of faith. Millions testify that Jesus is alive! Jesus is the same yesterday, today and forever! Today is still today! Start praying now! Promise that you shall give Him all the glory and that you shall honor Him with a clear testimony and an offering in the church! You shall join the ranks of them who adore His very breath! Have faith! Jesus is Lord!

In Christ I declare:

I am healed!

I am delivered!

My miracle has come!

My testimony has arrived!

To the glory of God, to the same of the devil and to the encouragement of the brethren!

I believe!

In Jesus name

Amen!

The prayer meeting started strong. The prophetic intercessor cried for a fresh touch from God. As the praise was rising I quietly bowed my head in worship. The worship leader was singing exactly what was in my heart. The unity of the Spirit was established right from the beginning. This is a great privilege for any preacher, to have the ground prepared, ready for sowing…
I am so grateful Lord…
Then I invited everybody to call on the Holy Spirit. I said that without the Holy Spirit we cannot continue this meeting. We do not have plan B. We can’t preach without the anointing of the Holy Spirit. Everybody was praying, some seating, some standing and some kneeling. Then the Holy Spirit pointed Brother Emmanuel to me. He was just what I needed. He looked troubled, in pain but hungry for God in the same time. That is the perfect combination, like dry wood to catch fire. I called him to the microphone and I told him to call on the Holy Spirit. From the moment he opened his mouth, his love came forth. Each word was filled with longing for a fresh touch from God. He forgot himself and continues praying in English and tongues. Then the worship leader started singing quietly at the background: “I need Thee Lord I need Thee, every hour I need Thee. Bless me now my Savior, I come to Thee”. This combination of prayer and worship is heavenly! Revival is at hand…
I could feel the breeze of the Holy Spirit blowing on my cheeks. Soon it became a mighty rushing wind. The congregation bent under the weight of God’s glory. We were so grateful for the coming of the King. O… Such a relief… Such a refreshing…Such a honor…
Then the worship team started singing a simple Nigerian chorus that instantly became loaded with anointing:
“I never knew You will honor me this way…I never knew You will honor me this way…Thank You Jesus! Thank You Jesus!”
Finally, I was free to preach the sermon I prepared. It was titled: AMAZING GRACE

“When my life was ebbing away
I remembered You Lord
And my prayer rose to You
In Your holy temple

Those who cling to worthless idols
Forfeit the grace that could be theirs

But I, with a song of thanksgiving
Will sacrifice to You
What I vowed I will make good
Salvation comes from the Lord!” (Jon 2:8, 9)

Jonah was a true child of God. He was a true prophet of Jehovah. But he was backsliding. God sent him to preach to the wicked citizens of Nineveh. He decided to run away from God, hoping that God will forget about him. He went to the port of Joppa to take a ship in the opposite direction. He paid his fare and he entered.
Lesson: if you rebel against God’s plan for your life, you have to pay your ‘transport’. But if you obey God and go to where He sends you, God will pay your bills. The question is this: who pays your bills?

The storm was raging. All the sailors were unbelievers.
Lesson: if you rebel against God’s plan for your life, you will always be lonely, an island in the midst of unbelievers. Many people will suffer because of you. But if you obey God, the believers will come and encourage you. Look around, who are your neighbors? Who are your friends?

Jonah was thrown into the water. The storm stopped immediately. God sent a big fish that swallowed him alive. In the belly of that fish, face to face with death, Jonah remembered God and he prayed.
Lesson: God will never leave you and not forsake you. He will cage you in impossible circumstances where you shall be forced to pray. All the worthless idols that captured your heart for so long will be rejected. The Spirit of prayer and supplication shall arise in you. Dying, you shall discover a new strength to pray desperate prayers that will open the heavens for you. Do you really pray?

Jonah discovers the value of grace, the unmerited favor of God. Jonah was rebellious. God could have killed him many times for his sins. The ship could have drowned and the fish could have digested him. But against all odds, Jonah survived the ordeal and miraculously was given a second chance to ministry. That is grace!
Lesson: God deals with us only thru grace. We do not merit any blessing. We do not merit salvation, prosperity, health or even life. Do you remember, how many times God has saved you from death?

Serving idols is useless. Their worship will bring you to a place where the love, grace and mercy of God become too weak to help. Salvation is of the Lord! Think of it this way: God is in charge! He is like a very rich King who organizes a wedding party for His Son. He knows exactly who is invited and who is not.
Lesson: No man is saved by mistake. No man can creep into heaven. Even the ones who deceive men and lack the proper garment of imputed righteousness, God will expose and punish at last (Mat 22)

The Word of God comes to Jonah the second time. He is given a second chance to do ministry. The grace of God washes away the disgrace of rebellion.
Lesson: The God of grace is the God of second chances. Jesus came full of truth and grace! Praise His Holy Name!

“I never knew You will honor me this way…I never knew You will honor me this way…Thank You Jesus! Thank You Jesus!”

In Christ I declare:
I am saved by grace alone thru faith in Jesus Christ!
Salvation is of the Lord!
In Jesus name
Amen!

“Open your mouth for the speechless,

In the cause of all who are appointed to die” (PV 31:8)

The following are some medical facts:

An abortion is the termination of a pregnancy by the removal or expulsion of an embryo or fetus from the uterus, resulting in or caused by its death. An abortion can occur spontaneously due to complications during pregnancy or can be induced. Abortion as a term refers to the induced abortion of a human pregnancy, while spontaneous abortions are usually termed miscarriages.

This is what I found on the internet: According to WHO (World Health Organization) there are an estimated 40-50 million abortions per year. This corresponds to approximately 125,000 abortions per day!!!

In the USA, half of pregnancies are unintended and four in 10 of these are terminated by abortion. There are over 3,000 abortions per day. Twenty-two percent of all pregnancies in the USA (excluding miscarriages) end in abortion

Women in their 20’s have the highest abortion rates. Black women are 4 times more likely to do abortion than the white women. 37% of women obtaining abortions identify themselves as Christians (Protestant or Catholic)

On average, women give at least 3 reasons for choosing abortion: 3/4 say that having a baby would interfere with work, school or other responsibilities; about 3/4 say they cannot afford a child; and 1/2 say they do not want to be a single parent or are having problems with their partner. Only 12% of women included a health reason. Pregnancies from rape or incest, fear, poverty, shame or social discrimination were other factors why they chose abortion.

This is the Word of God!

God gave you a mouth to speak. You should use it to pray praise God and to preach His Gospel. You should also encourage people in need. Lastly, God commands us to open our mouth and plead the case on behalf of them who suffer innocently or are wrongfully condemned to death. These victims are not able to speak or defend themselves. To speak is a privilege. Not all people can speak. If you have a platform, no matter how small, from which you can speak to others, use it well! It is the gift of God, an open door of faith!

We are to be self-employed defense lawyers for all silent victims. I don’t know if you are hearing this call to ‘borrow’ your mouth on behalf of just causes? There are many examples of silent suffering. The kidnapped girls of Nigeria, the Pakistani woman stoned to death as a honor killing, the Sudanese woman who says she wants to be a Christian…The secular press does its own good work in many cases.

But the worst of all is abortion! This is because the baby in the womb cannot speak at all. To commit abortion is murder. It is the sin of shedding innocent blood. And God hates it!

“These six things the Lord hates,

Yes, seven are an abomination to Him:

A proud look,

A lying tongue,

Hands that shed innocent blood…” (PV 6:16, 17)

MY TESTIMONY OF GRACE

I can say with Apostle Paul:

“I thank Christ Jesus our Lord, who has strengthened me, because He considered me faithful, putting me into service, even though I was formerly a blasphemer and a persecutor and a violent aggressor. Yet I was shown mercy because I acted ignorantly in unbelief; and the grace of our Lord was more than abundant, with the faith and love which are found in Christ Jesus” (1Tim 1:12-14)

Abortion is a difficult subject. Most of us we prefer to ignore it and keep our mouths shut.  We wished that there is no unwanted pregnancy in this world. We wished that all unwanted pregnancies will just miscarry ‘naturally’ without the mother having a guilty conscience. We deceive ourselves thinking that an embryo or a fetus inside has no soul; that a little ‘thing’ in the womb is not ‘really’ a human being. We deceive ourselves that a baby who has never cried is dead. We deceive ourselves that nobody will miss an unwanted baby for whom there is no tear to shed. Oh, these many excuses…I know these so well, for as an unbeliever I performed abortions on myself and others. I did it in ignorance of God’s law. I did not believe that God exists and that showed in my actions as well.  Once I became saved, abortion was the first sin I repented of. Since the 14^th of March 1986, I never practiced abortion, as a woman or as a medical doctor. Surprisingly, God called me to ministry and gave me the heart of a mother to many sons and daughters in Christ, of all colors, all over the world. This is God’s grace in action. To Him be all the glory!

So now I open my mouth like a holy trumpet and speak as loud as I can! Please hear me!!!!! HELLOO!!!

Dear Sister! Please, do not abort your baby! All excuses for abortion are lies! God loves you and your baby! The truth is that God will make a way for you and your child! Money will come! Shame will go away! Fears will flee! You will not regret having a child, even if initially unwanted! This baby may be the only baby you can ever have! If you do not want the baby, still do not kill that baby! Give the baby away for adoption! Children as a blessing, a gift and a reward from God! Do not reject or destroy your own blessings, your rewards! Do not throw away your crown!

Dear Sister, if you have already done abortion in the past, and now you struggle with guilt and regret, then come to Jesus! Let the Blood of Jesus wash your sins away! Let God give you a new heart and a new beginning! Forgive yourself too as Christ forgave you! God did that for me! I am a woman of God now! God can do it for you!

Dear Sister, you who chose to keep the baby, well done! God bless you!

May God’s grace and mercy be revealed to you! God’s grace is greater than all our sins! Peace be with you!

In Christ I declare:

I am born again!

I am sinner saved by grace!

The Blood of Jesus speaks on my behalf!

I am forgiven and free!

I am healed and delivered from the sin of abortion!

I am a woman of God, a servant and an ambassador of Christ!

To the glory of God!

Jesus is Lord!

In Jesus name

Amen!
