Firstly I want to say thank you God for breathing the breath of life into me today all Glory and honour are yours. Secondly, I thank God for Pastor Leke and Pastor Bola for their sermons each week. I have been attending Victory House for just a little over a year and Last week Sunday the devil didn’t want me to attend church to hear the word!! .

The night before I had prepared my clothes for church.  I had to cook food for my mum and I asked God to give me the strength to complete everything on time so my husband and I can leave at 9.15am as it was Thanksgiving Sunday.  On Sunday morning I thanked God for the health and strength and got on with all I needed to do. I cooked my mum the food she likes. Cooked food for the household.  Showered and was all dressed aready to go at 9.10am , on time. Thank you God! Then my husband said you have a rip in your tights. I said no chance. When I see the rip at the back of the tights. I thought, how? Anyway I threw those tights and went to look for another, it was like everything I pulled out from my drawer was not a  tights or leggins, it was as if I only had 1 pair of tights.  I felt I was losing my patience, what is going on? As I know I have several tights! So I tried to look for another outfit but it was like every outfit  i tried on looked wrong. I had a go at my daughter as I know she must have taken them. I turned round and said to my husband and  I’m not going church , you can go!! . My husband replied gently Hon , you are fine, it doesn’t matter( which later in reflection God only needs my heart) I dressed in anything that was at hand, moaned about the tights for most of the journey to church. As always when I get to church . Always greeted so warmly by the brothers and sisters at the door as they smiled and welcomed me in. I smiled back. The Praise and Worship Team always hit my heart , there isn’t a Sunday where  tears of joy, understanding and gratefulness stop pouring out from me.

As I listened to Pastor Leke talking about testimony and what it all means. I just kept nodding thinking Preach, yessss Pastor!  I loved the 7 steps of Testimonies.

Then we were introduced to. a speaker Ayodeji , WOW!! A Queen, who was so real and down to earth who broke down some of what she has gone through her story so. inspiring. She made me laugh, her energy was electric. I loved it when she spoke about   your attitude, thoughts and words can block your blessings. We can only change and we are in control, we choose , nothing is forced. When She said things like what you despise you cannot attract. See beyond your struggle and the golden nuggets of truth went on and on. I loved her humour and she was such a genuine person, you could feel it! .

Anyways after she spoke  I  had  already  had my note book out so I started to write what I heard throughout service.   tithing no matter what no excuse if earning as God gave it to you. Success is because of God.  We want 100% blessing and we can’t just give 10% . God gave me breath. God gave me health, strength and wisdom so I could work to earn the money.  so what is 10% to The Creator, The Mighty Warrior. God is our Father , talk with him, ask him for direction and thank God in all things.

I was thinking as I was writing so the devil was on my head and if not for God and a patient husband   I would have missed the word, the message and testimonies.

God has blessed me with many avenues for revenue and the testimony of Ayodeji  made me look into myself even deeper regarding the works of my hand and ask God for direction. So this week I was directed to pick up the things I have put down. I signed up to complete my  natural skincare course, and I love baking so that will be the next course and I started writing years ago been to an editor but made excuses but after purchasing my copy of  Mrs Megbope book I  thought I could do it!! . MY point is I would have missed the word  to boost me and ignite this fire  and again so grateful to God and very grateful for Pastor Leke and Pastor Bola who in their teachings and preaching keep it 100% real. Thank you
