Hi everyone,

It brings me great joy to meet you all through this site and share all that God has done in our lives.

Here’s a quick testimony I bring. All who know me well know that it’s almost impossible for me to keep my words short. I’m going to try, but no promises on keeping it short. 😜

I consider it a great privilege to have known Jesus as my personal Savior all my life, and I’m truly grateful to God and to all those who have encouraged me in my walk with God.

My testimony begins when I was in 6th grade. Even before then, I had witnessed God’s favour, but I was a Christian because I was raised as one. It was in my 6th grade, one day, at Sunday school, that I accepted Jesus as my personal Saviour. That day, I experienced God’s unconditional love for me - that a God so great, who owns all He made, knows me by name, and I need Him every day, each minute and every second. From then on, I committed my life to God. I am grateful to my parents who encouraged me to engage in church activities since then, and I believed my life would be an easy walk. But, it wasn’t. I was a girl who battled with a lot of insecurities since childhood because I stammered a lot. I developed a fear of speaking to anyone. I tried my best, but I just couldn’t.

However, I remember that on April 18, 2010, the day after my mom’s birthday, I prayed to God, asking for healing from my stammering, promising that if He healed me, I would share my testimony and serve Him in any ways I could. Miraculously, I improved day by day, and the following year, I got the opportunity to serve the kids at our church’s Sunday school. That’s when I personally experienced God’s power through a miracle. Since then, I have submitted my life to His will. If God could transform a stammering me into a person who now talks non-stop (which my students can testify 😂) I’m so sure that, there is absolutely nothing impossible for God to do in your life.

In every major decision since, never once has God let me face it alone. In my 12th grade, I faced a dilemma about which course to pursue. Even then, I experienced God’s beautiful guidance. Later, when deciding on a career path, God led me clearly to teaching through Psalm 71:18: "Even when I am old and gray, do not forsake me, my God, till I declare your power to the next generation, your mighty acts to all who are to come."

Someone so wise once told me, "There is nothing that God does or keeps without revealing it to those who are called, chosen, and surrendered to His will." I felt it so deep and true.

Then there came the day, the time to make a life decision, I continued to pray for God’s will. That’s when God spoke to me through Psalm 37:5 on September 23, 2021: "Commit your way to the Lord, trust also in Him, and He shall bring it to pass." I held onto this verse so tight, through my waiting season. Although my future seemed uncertain at that very moment, one thing remained certain that ’God is good to all those who wait on him and to all those who submit their ways to him.’

Nevertheless the long days of wait , at times, felt like a punishment, and I saw my faith being tested. But thanks be to God, who knew the limits of my faith and for always being present - speaking through His Word, through the servants of God, and many a times through songs. These strengthened me a lot through my wait. There were days, when I was absolutely tired of waiting, that I could barely pray. That’s when God spoke to me through a sermon about one of my favorite miracles in the Bible—the raising of Jairus’ daughter.

To those who know not the story.. here is a long story short, Jairus , a church leader , had a daughter who was 12 years old, she was on the verge of death. Jairus came to Jesus pleading for healing. Jesus continued his walk to Jairus house to heal his daughter. While on the way, Jesus paused to heal a woman who had been suffering for 12 years. As He did, news came that Jairus’ daughter had died. In that moment, when Jairus’ hope began to crumble , Jesus reminded Jairus to have a little faith. And the rest is history. Jairus’ daughter was raised from the dead, living as a testimony.

The word that spoke to me was that the miracle for the suffering woman was not only a miracle for her, but also a reminder to Jairus that if God could perform such a miracle for someone who came to Him incidentally, how much more would He do for Jairus, he who earnestly sought God, who completely relied on God for a miracle for his daughter. Though Jairus’ wait seemed like a delay, God’s plan was much greater than he could have imagined. I am amazed that this testimony, recorded 2000 years ago, continues to encourage me today. What a faithful God we serve!

To those reading this who are waiting for a miracle, To those for whom the wait seems long, To those who are tired of the wait, let me tell you this: When you see God working a miracle in others life, its not only a miracle for them but also a reminder to us that he can do the same for us. In ways Much Exceedingly than you could imagine. All that matters is that we come to Him and walk with Him faithfully, just as Jairus did.

As we are celebrating the goodness God has shown us, I pray over you: may your long wait soon become the testimony you’ll share.

Sharing this, I’m so filled with joy as we await our big day and the blessing God has promised us, the one we’ve prayed for.

Here’s to the man God has placed in my life in accordance to His will... Here is to the love of my life: @Rence Abishek, Paaa, You are the blessing that I’ve prayed for, and one that I’ll cherish all my life. I can’t wait to walk this path with you, keeping God at the heart of our lives, in His word, faith, and love every step of the way.
