Many years ago God gave
me a vision He wanted me to write a book. When He suggested this to me I
thought God had gone mad. How on earth did He expect me to write a book when I
was uneducated and did not have any qualifications to do this? God however had
different ideas for me.
He made me realise He
had created me for a specific purpose in mind. His plan was to use me to
glorify Himself. He knew what I was capable of doing even though I did not. He
wanted to build my faith and trust and teach me if I depended upon Jesus Christ
I could do all things through Him who strengthened me.
So, I began to write the
book in faith not knowing what subject I was going to write about. I trusted
God to guide and lead me with my writing. I began daily in prayer and brought
my requests and petitions before God acknowledging that I needed Him and could
not do these writings without Him. He increased my faith equipping me and
empowering me with His wisdom, knowledge, understanding, insight and revelation
through the Holy Spirit of God. I learnt how to lean upon His grace, strength
and mercy believing He would help me to write this book the way He wanted it
done. The Lord gave me confirmation through the Scripture:
Habakkuk 2:2-3 NKJV
Then the Lord answered
me and said; “Write the vision and make it plain on tablets, that he may run
who reads it. For the vision is yet for an appointed time; but at the end it
will speak, and it will not lie. Though it tarries, wait for it; because it
will surely come, it will not tarry. This was all I needed to get on with the
writing the book being obedient to God was very important to me.
Gradually bit by bit
things began to unfold within my heart. I had called the book numerous names but
within the last six months of writing the book I found I had changed the whole
lay-out completely. When I became a Christian prayer has always been a key
factor in my relationship with God. I loved praying, reading God’s Word and writing
prayers to God which I prayed back to Him. Through all my trials and
difficulties, keeping prayer journals reminded me of God’s faithfulness towards
me this built up my faith. The desire within my heart was always to help others
as God had helped me. So putting my prayers and experience on paper helped me
to see this was God’s purpose for me to write “A House Of Prayer” – Daily
Devotional which was published on 21st November 2012 this is when
God’s Word came to pass and His glory was seen.
God sees your faithfulness. He must be very pleased with you. :)
ReplyDeletei strongly believe the Lord uses us in the areas in our life that we consider to be our weakest. because if we wee already good at doing it how could He shine thru it? His amazing marvels would mean little to nothing to so many if we got to do the things were good and strong in/at. im so glad to hear that u allowed God o work thru u and write a book. Praise God for His strength to do all things thru Him.
