Oh! Magnify the Lord...

Dear Precious Sisters How are you doing? We thank God for the privilege and joy of being alive.  The seventh month is moving forward so are we. The number seven is generally associated with completion and rest. God rested on the seventh day after finishing all His work. I pray that you will complete whatever is set before you and that peace will be your portion throughout this month. I just want to testify of God's goodness and faithfulness and encourage you to continue to trust in Him. Please help me to magnify the Lord for his mercy and grace throughout this year. Last year in March we were led to plant a church in Yeovil. This had its own challenges but God helped us. Some days were tougher than others but we kept going and now we see growth taking place. This past Sunday we celebrated Yeovil branch's first year. We started this branch with prayer and divine inspiration in a house and now we meet in a building. We now have a strong team and God is sending different types of people with diverse gifts and abilities. We know God has so much in store for the new church plant and he will use it mightily for his glory. In our first year thanksgiving service, we heard so many testimonies of changed lives through the working of the Holy Spirit in this church. If we did not take the first step of faith we would not be where we are now. Sisters, when God gives you a word in your hearts, begin to pray and water that seed. Let Him order your steps and obey the leadership of His Spirit and watch him do his work though you. Do not fear to take those baby steps.

I also want to magnify the Lord for our family re-union with my firstborn sister and niece. Due to reasons beyond her control, my sister could not get a visa to come and visit us for the past 8 years or more. She tried to appeal but failed! She applied again last month and got her visa. Last week, she managed to come over and we all gathered at my brother's place. We had a great time together as family. Her being here is another testimony of God`s faithfulness. To be denied a visa once does not mean to be denied a visa forever. Delay is not denial and in God's timing all things are made beautiful in the end. God is faithful my sisters. He is a good father and he answers prayer. Keep your eyes on Jesus and know that He has all things already worked out for you. Be patient as His plans daily unfold. God has done many more things for me that it would require pages and pages for me to write. As you magnify the Lord with me, may the Lord visit you and give you a reason to testify. Grace and peace be multiplied to you as we continue with the month of July.
