Understanding God and how he works is a daily journey, and reading through his WORD helps us identify his character and purpose.
They triumphed over him by the blood of the Lamb and by the word of their testimony; they did not love their lives so much as to shrink from death.
My friend asked Me the other day, what is your Conversion Story? I was confused for a moment, my Conversion story?
“It’s your coming to God STORY“– Daniel Okorie
I wasn’t at an altar, in the church building, on my knees, or even in my room. I was driving in my car! No music was playing, just me and my thoughts. Seven months pregnant, ready to start a new life, in a new city, in FLORIDA, when a childhood song, in my native language, was gently placed in my spirit, and heart. I have heard this song before but not like this!
“Прости меня, Боже, прости, я молю,Прости, что так поздно к Тебе прихожу,
Прости, что я раньше Тебя не познал
И друга иного тогда я избрал.”
(Russian Translation)
Forgive me my father, forgive me I begForgive that I come a little too late
That I didn’t get to know you before
And chosen a friend of the world.
Immediately, thoughts flooded my mind, and tears began to stream down my face…
In a nutshell
WIFE, MOM, Warrior of the Lord, juggling everyday life to accomplish my purpose and divine Destiny.
My passion springs from my own experience and journey. I have been misguided and taken advantage of, abandoned, and rejected, BUT I have also found security and safety in my father's arms, during those difficult times.
Writing this story only confirms GOD’S faithfulness in my life, 15 years later, God is still faithful.
И я обещаю Тебя прославлять
И словом и делом Тебя восхвалять,
Чтоб люди увидели свет Твой во мне
И, светом влекомые, шли все к Тебе.
I promise to worship you
With my words and my actions to praise you
So people can see your light in me
And through the reflection were drawn unto you
100% AND THAT’S ON PERIOD! I WORSHIP YOU, HONOR YOU, GIVE YOU GLORY!
Lead me LORD, and I’ll follow. I give my life to you, I surrender my heart to you! The battle is tough, but you are STRONGER!
Perhaps reading this, you recognize your need for a Savior. Just like me you tried to live your life your way, you did what you felt was right, you were FREE, nothing stopped you, no one could tell you anything, you experienced all that life has to offer you, BUT NOW you are far from him, and you think it’s too late
I want you to know…
Your father is waiting with hands wide open, surrender to him!
I am reminded of a parable
“I have sinned against you FATHER, MAKE ME one of your servants!” Luke 15:18-19
I was NOT ready
I was not ready, I lacked knowledge and understanding of scripture, I was told to believe that the enemy has bigger fish to catch, and fry. So when I stepped on the Battlefield I was constantly getting hurt, and wounded. I asked the Holy Spirit to help me, and to teach me, and he did.
Just as it is important to wear clothes, to protect ourselves from varies forms of weather, and elements, so it is important to wear protective gear spiritually.
The Book of Ephesians 6, Paul reveals to us this spiritual armor, and the operations of the enemy at hand. Without the FULL Armor on we are open and vulnerable for the enemy to attack. Let us not be unaware of the devils plots and schemes. ” that no advantage may be gained over us by Satan: for we are not ignorant of his devices.” 2 Corinthians 2:11
Growing up I did not know how to pray, let alone the importance of prayer, so as a result I kept getting hit left, and right until I had no prayer life, or even desire to pray.
I grew up in a Christian home, but later in my teens rebelled against my roots, and everything I stood for. Everyone that knew me, was shocked at what I have become. Sin was very evident in my life, promiscuity and carelessness overtook me, and ignorance was my drive. I ran from my calling, and have rejected my identity as a child of God for many many years, and accepted the way of the world.
I am who I am because of who God made me to be. I am a product of his glory, his kindness, his grace, and his mercy, a product of his forgiveness, his faithfulness, and his patience.
I might have been rebellious, but God made me righteous in his sight;
I might have rejected him, but his love found me;
I might have ran, and hid like Elijah but God sustained me, and kept me;
Today I am on the other side STILL standing with a smile on my face, looking over, I have surely been blessed. My perfect puzzle is coming together for my good, all the pieces of my puzzle, whether good or bad, are for my benefit. I wouldn’t be who I am, if it wasn’t for those pieces that made my puzzle what it is today.
I desired to be fed spiritually but found nothing to satisfy my soul. I tried drinking to fill that empty spot but nothing could FILL that desire, and longing to go HOME. I tried ignorance pride took me far away. I tried promiscuity, addiction BUT nothing could satisfy my soul or fulfill that desire that felt so empty and unsatisfied within.
SUDDENLY I woke up! NO MATTER what happens, I will FACE my father, and beg him to come home. 2009 was my year of Reconciliation with my father. My father met me with OPEN arms, and celebrated my arrival. He gave me the best of everything, EVEN prepared a TABLE OF DELIGHT to delight my soul. And that’s not all! Shoes of son-ship, a ring of authority on my finger, dressed me in FINE clothing, giving me a CHANCE, at a BRAND new LIFE. Now it’s time for me to give back!
There's a little bit of everything at my TABLE and I hope to share a lot more as I progress on my JOURNEY
I’m thankful for his GRACE, thankful for his Faithfulness, thankful for his Favor upon my life, because without it, I wouldn’t even know where I would be.
My book is soon to be released, many books, my chapters are constantly written. I have been working tiresly to write it, and publish it, to God be the GLORY!
I used to wear skirts, leggings, and dresses and think I’m modest when God was seeking moderation and content of my heart.
I used to worship on Sabbath, but have no relationship with God. God wanted my heart, I gave him religion.
I followed dietary laws and restrictions, but forgot all about my actions, and my attitude. God was looking for a humble heart and submissive spirit, I was showing arrogance and pride.
God is my fortress, I’m no longer the same..”
” whom the son sets free is free indeed” John 8:36
-Purposefully Driven ( Coming Soon)
There are many Prodigals in this world who long to come home they just don’t know how or where to turn. A Prodigal is a lost son or daughter of God who longs to come home but is ashamed guilty, and condemned. I have been there and I know what that is like! I opened that door! I found the keys. Walk through it!
