I have been debating whether to share this testimony or not, but then I have realized since it has nothing to do with my doing and nothing to do with my glory, I will share it for the glory of the Lord Jesus! I am not ashamed of Who He is in my life and what He has done. Receive Glory Jesus!
I'm going to share a short testimony of what happened to me some few weeks ago just to encourage anyone out there who is struggling to trust in the Lord. This is all for the glory and honor of the Lord Jesus Christ.
Three weeks ago I really was in need of money to cater for some important needs one of them being my hair. I know someone may be wondering, if I'm even serious, but only God and my husband can understand.It was an important need but judging it based on other needs, it wasn't as urgent at that particular time. And so I just made a prayer to the Lord about it I said, "Dear Lord Jesus, you are faithful. I need to make my hair, please provide for me. AMEN"
Then surprisingly, a funny thing just happened. That week I was going through Facebook updates and then I came across a post by Dark n Lovely. They were requesting their customers to answer a few questions about their products and they would stand a chance of winning Dark n Lovely hampers. I decided to give it a try. I went ahead and answered all the questions to the best of my knowledge and I rested.I even forgot about it:)
That same week I was somewhat broke. I really couldn't have waited for the salary but the month was not coming to an end soon. That's how bad the situation was. However, I didn't loose hope. Early the following morning during my devotion time, I talked with God and told Him, "Father, you are our provider. Remember me Lord"
When I reported to the office that day, one of my bosses called me and asked me if I could attend a particular meeting in town on her behalf.I quickly said yes especially because she said I wont need to come back to work after the meeting and that I could take the rest of the day off. The surprising thing is this( and I really see the hand of the Lord in it) my boss mentioned as a by the way that I would be given some allowance just by attending the meeting and she insisted, "Make sure you make some good meal for your husband tonight!" I felt like crying. Tears were at the corners of my eyes. "I just began to thank God there and then.
Well to cut the long testimony short, the following week I received a call from Dark n Lovely and was told I had won a gift hamper from them glory to God! The hamper was brought to the office and I made my hair. Again, the allowance was able to take me past my salary days glory to God!
God really wants us to trust Him with the whole of our hearts.The scripture that comes to mind at this particular time is Proverbs 3:5-6, "Trust in the LORD with all your heart and do not lean on your own understanding. In all your ways acknowledge Him and He will make your paths straight."
What I have learnt from this testimony is that God wants me and you to undoubtedly rely upon Him to meet my needs. He is the God who says that even before we open our mouths to speak, He already knows what we want according to Mathew 6:8.
I pray you have been encouraged to Trust in the Lord today. What is it that you need? Trust Him He knows best. I am speaking to you as I speak to myself. I am not yet there when it comes to undoubtedly trusting in God. I sometimes fail this test. But one thing is I know, is that I desire to trust the Lord in everything. Let us journey together.
