After years of fruitless dating, I was feeling sad and helpless. Questions like these plagued my mind, “when will I get married?”, “will I ever meet someone who is kind and understanding?”, “when will I even start to have children?”
These type of questions burdened and saddened me. However, I had the privilege of having Pastor Israel pray with me and counsel me and I began to find a new freedom in Christ in terms of resting and waiting on Him for His chosen partner for me. There were still occasional times when I’ll get weary but even in those times, the Holy Spirit always reminded me of Christ’s love for me and how He will definitely fulfill the desires of my heart. And I would be encouraged and strengthened again.
I was single for about 3 years prior to meeting my husband but I can say that in that time of waiting I felt completely free and happy in God. I learnt about myself, did some traveling and I was very involved with volunteering at church. It was an amazing time. Even when I finally met my husband, I was amazed at how peaceful I felt when I was around him but I still wasn’t completely sure that he was going to be my husband. As I was pondering over this, God used Pastor (Mrs) Israel Dawodu as His Oracle to confirm that he was indeed the man that God had chosen me. It was wonderful to receive this holy confirmation. Also, Pastor Israel confirmed that the Lord would bless us with children.
We got married in 2011 but it wasn’t until 2015 that I gave birth to my son. There were delays and challenges along the way but I praise God for the power of God and Grace released into my life through Elohi Israel ministries.
Our God is good and His mercies endures forever.
