Blessed With Husband And Children After Hearing Gospel
I was born and raised in a religious family for thirty years. In 2008, I immigrated to America from Africa. It was not an easy transition. I got a job and moved out of the community house I was living in for over three years. I went to church religiously too and made all sorts of sacrifices for God. It was overwhelming.
In 2011, I first heard Pastor Joseph Prince’s sermons on television. I had never heard anyone preach that way! I felt like I was finally home. Only the gospel of grace could break the chains of legalism that bound me. After I got hold of Pastor Prince’s teachings, things started to turn around.
Due to the nature of my job, I wasn’t able to meet any eligible men as I was working indoor with kids most of the time. So I decided to join an online dating website because I knew people who had met online and who are happily married. At the end of one year of my subscription to the dating website, at the very last month, I met my future husband! I knew then he was the one God had promised me. (My last relationship ended very badly and I left my ex-boyfriend believing that God would bring me someone better in every way.)
In 2012, we got married and the following year, I gave birth to twins—a boy and a girl! I was overflowing with joy. My friends and family members had thought that I would never get married and that I was barren. God showed them what He could do!
I have also been waiting on my immigration status for over three years. Finally, in February 2014, I received a favorable response and I know that it’s only possible because of God’s grace.
I used to be a person full of negativity—impatient, quick tempered, envious, and jealous—but God has delivered me and given me such joy that I know I am a changed person today. I listen to your sermons so much and I wish I had known then what I know now about how much God loves me and His never-ending mercy and grace toward me.
Thank you, Pastor Joseph Prince, your team, and New Creation Church for opening my eyes to the true gospel and to my Abba God who loves me unconditionally. You are always in my prayers. Thank you for letting God use you to reach His people.
