Joyful, Joyful, We Adore Thee

Dear Precious Sisters

How are you all doing? We thank God for seeing us through the first quarter of the year!!!

I am sure that we can all testify of more than one thing that the Lord has already done in us and through us. A huge thank you to all those who made it to the WOW conference 2017. I pray that we all walk in the wisdom and the impartation which we received. To our sisters in different parts of the world who could not join us, you can visit www.hopeforeverywoman.com for the conference summary and our Facebook page has many photos from the event. We hope that next year you will be able to join us.

Here in Europe we have just moved into a new season of warmth and sunshine. Flowers that were hidden by winter are starting to flourish. They are blossoming and responding to the sun above. Although we drove past these flowers, they were invisible to us and closed in due to the effects of winter. Change of season has caused us to see them in their true beauty and significance. This reminded me of one of my favourite hymns: Joyful Joyful We Adore Thee

Just as the flowers are flourishing in response to the sun above, I pray for you to flourish as your heart opens up to the Son above. I encourage you to unfold your hearts in His presence as you pray, read the Word and commune with Him; receive fresh life for this season.

The hymn also says “…melt the clouds of sin and sadness; drive the dark of doubt away, giver of immortal gladness, Fill us with the light of day.” Just as the dark of winter which was hiding the beauty of the flowers gave in to the strength of the sun, I pray that the presence of the Son in your life will drive away any form of winter or darkness that has been hindering you from occupying your place of significance. I pray that any obstacle in your way be melted and removed from your path. As the flowers are flourishing, you too will flourish. You will bear fruit and you will impact many more lives with the beauty of the presence of God in your life. May the giver of immortal gladness fill your heart with joy.

As we approach Easter, may you walk in resurrection power and let that power rejuvenate you and cause you to blossom. April is your month of flourishing. Go ahead and be fruitful to the glory of God.

Much love,
Pastor Fatima

Set Apart

Dear Precious Ladies Special greetings! We thank God for giving us the grace to finish the month of January 2017 alive and well. Just as we are all different, the journey has not been the same but His love has kept us. His love will see us though the brand new month of February. On the 12th and on the 27th of January I had the privilege of holding newly born baby boys. I visited them a day after they were born and this was an amazing experience. I was reminded about how we begin life as tiny helpless babies heavily dependent on our mums or on someone else to feed us for survival. Although these boys looked vulnerable, God has already got great plans for them and a great destiny awaits them. In them are seeds of future husbands, professionals, fathers, uncles, pastors, doctors the list is endless. They were born in the same month and country but their destinies are not the same. Each one is unique and born for a specific purpose to specific parents and I found this intriguing. God formed them in their mothers’ wombs and he knew them before he even placed them in those specific wombs. Before the pregnancy test was ever done the Lord had already completed the plan and a place for them on earth. This is what Jeremiah meant in Jeremiah 1:5: “Before I shaped you in the womb, I knew all about you. Before you saw the light of day, I had holy plans for you: A prophet to the nations , that’s what I had in mind for you.”(MSG) “Before I formed you in the womb I knew you, before you were born I set you apart; I appointed you as a prophet to the nations.” (NIV) According to the oxford dictionary the word form means; a style, design and arrangement. It also means the following: to be established; a particular way in which a thing exists; bring together; to create; inaugurate; initiate and launch. My sisters, it is God who formed us. We were already in God`s mind before our parents ever met. His very hands designed us, arranged us, styled us, structured us and placed us in our mothers' wombs. He knows us with all our weaknesses and strengths. He knows both our spiritual and geographical locations and He has set us apart so we may fulfil a certain role on earth and in our spheres of influence. God has a specific plan for us for this month of February and the rest of the year. Despite how the month of January was, we are still set apart for Him and He loves us. May we all embrace who we are, embrace His plans for us and walk in them for the rest of the year. May we be fruitful, multiply and take dominion where God has placed us. Much love, Pastor Fatima P.s. you are all invited to our annual conference which is fast approaching. If you cannot make it your prayers are much welcome.
