blessed me and challenged me to break from negative spirits. I also quote scriptures without really thinking much about it. When you have been saved for a long time there is the tendency to lay back and watch your Christian life cool. Those are the times we talk clichés and quote scriptures like the one you quoted sometimes out of context and sometimes simply for the sake of the hearer. I guess God used you to confirm some things that I have been hearing from him. I am one of those pregnant with dreams, promises, prophesies and visions. Sometimes I reach the point where I want the “child” to be birthed. Sometimes I wonder, why is it taking so long? Despite the questions and the uncertainties, I still don’t want to throw out the “child” with the birth water. Of course reading your devotional confirms that it is God who will not allow me to let go.  You said ‘Like Mary and Joseph, make room for the Master! You may have to rearrange some things in your life; move away from familiar territory…. I have been having that urge. I guess delivery is close. You quoted Ps. 32:8. What a great scripture to hold on to as I wait to give birth. Sometimes I just want to do exploits NOW for God.  God in His love and mercy reminds me to wait on him, be patient because from conception to delivery there is a process and that is the process that the Holy Spirit revealed to you in the devotional. Thank you that you did not hold back. You have blessed one; you have blessed a thousand already because the Bible says that one can put a thousand to flight. You have truly encouraged me not to give up on the process.

I must also tell you that I was  blessed by:

“The Great Exchange.” Names are really powerful and I reflected on the name my mother gave after a very difficult birth which almost killed her. My mother named me “Modupeh” which in Yoruba means “I praise God!” Whether my mother knew it or not, she left me a legacy of praise. A mother in the Bible who also suffered during child birth chose to name her son “pain.” We all have read about Jabez in I Chronicles 4:9-10. You talked about your name and all that was attached to it. Thank God you exercised your rights against those ancestral spirits and ties. After I was done reading the devotional I said silently “thanks Mom for birthing me in pain but choosing to praise God rather than curse me." Hallelujah! May the Lord continue to use you to touch the world, Amen!"

"Thanks for availing yourself to be used so mightily by God. The devotional was such a blessing and truths my spirit needed to dwell on at this time. God bless you and keep up the good work."

Dear Gladys,

I am writing on behalf of the Management Committee of the Freetown Cheshire Home and as directed to acknowledge receipt of 30 mattresses crutches and 2 barrels of writing materials from Jasmine and Sylvester Renner (Develop Africa).

Furthermore, I want on behalf of the entire Cheshire Family to express deepest appreciation for the very good mattresses which will indeed make the children have a rest as long as they wish to make them grow well.

The gesture of the dental services rendered to us all on that same day o Saturday 28^th November 2009, by you and your team was indeed more than deeply appreciated.

We thank you wholeheartedly for this very remarkable gesture which will be thought of as historic. We thank the dental team so much for their patience and worthy services rendered. We enjoyed every minute of your being with us that day. May you all be richly endowed with the many blessings of our great one – The Almighty Father.

As we continue to thank and appreciate you all out there, we also pray for the prevalence of God’s mercy, grace and peace and the continuity of provisions for this kind of gesture round the globe.

May you all be bountifully filled with the Holy Spirit in carrying out your Spiritual Tasks ahead of you. May Nuwach Ministries grow from strength to strength. Amen.

Once again it’s a big thank you, as we wish you a merry Christmas and a  prosperous New Year 2010.

Our regards,

Henrietta.

 "Tears are in my eyes (and a runny nose) as I write this. NOW I know why the Lord put an urgency in my heart to go to your website THIS MORNING! PSALM 68:11 is THE verse He gave me THIS morning to publish books. It was CONFIRMED when I SAW PSALM 68:11 on YOUR Website!! I hope that blesses you!! He was guiding me this morning relating to a general theme of anything I should write - bottomline - ALL I have to offer them is JESUS - guided by 1 Cor 14:1 - Pursue Love and desire spiritual gifts. My recent desire has been to operate in the gifts of the spirit - He has shown me this morning that LOVE is the foundation of the gifts. Since June 2007, He has been directing me to spend the rest of my life pursuing (learning) to LOVE - for I believe that is the question He will ask at the rapture - Did you learn to love? Love is something I have never been good at. So "flesh" has to die and I have to be willing to fight for it. We hear a lot about faith and hope but very little about LOVE - and it NEVER fails and is the greatest!! I thank God THIS DAY once again for our friendship and for IIOM that provided the opportunity to have a friend like you. I love you!"
