I participated in the Campaign of Israel with everything; prayers and fasting like never before. I also sacrificed all the money I had (I mean everything even pennies) I dedicated myself one hundred and twenty percent more to God, I made an effort to evangelize and serve God with my life more, I did all this for God to bless me sentimentally but I didn’t forget to read the Bible and seek the Holy Spirit daily for myself, for me to have a true encounter with God. So that way when my blessing came I would be prepared for it. As I did all of these things I continued praying to God asking Him to help me be Spiritual and not get anxious, (because it happens) every once in a while I would start to worry about how I am going to meet him, if around me there is no one I am interested in. But as soon as this anxiety started I would cut it off by seeking the Holy Spirit and thanking God for my blessing that I already know is in the process and on its way to me.
I didn’t do all of these things just because my sister now had a boyfriend and I didn’t. I did this because I too wanted to serve God just as she did. It seemed as if the more I persevered the more the devil would try to trap me, but there was no way I was going to give the devil a foot hold in my life. I was determined and revolted at the same time I had one goal in mind and it was to get my partner. At this point the devil tried sending many, many men of this world to me, it has happened before where men have come up to me and asked me out but I would tell them NO and if they were interested I would explain to them why, I would tell them that I wanted a man of God. Then I would invite them to church, (because only God knows.) But if it wasn’t my partner I invited, then I just helped someone else’s partner get to church. Many thought I was weird and many just said ok and let it go.
Don’t despise someone who asks
you out or who is interested in you but instead invite them to church – ONLY,
don’t go any further than giving this one invitation because the devil is
dirty, he can use this situation to trap you in a worldly and ungodly
relationship. The reason you should invite is because there are several cases
in the church, in which a person was in the church and the other was still in
this world (Unconverted); An invitation was given for this person to come to
church and he/she accepted, came, and God blessed. One case is a man
who before coming to the church was a drug addict and full of problems, today
he is a Bishop of our church. He was evangelized by an Assistant of the church
and ended up liking her. He asked her out, she invited him to church. He was so
interested in her that he told her he was going to come to church, be delivered
from his problems and all addictions and then he was going to marry her.
interesting post indeed. you remind me of myself, this is what I do when any worldly guys approaches. some take it serious while some tike it for a joke but as for I did my part.
ReplyDeletethanks for sharing Mrs.
bjs. God bless
I really like this post Elsie.
ReplyDeleteIt so true, I know many cases both ways. I know helpers, prs and bps that are in the church today because they were invited by the assistant that later became their wives. I also know many members and helpers that are out of the church or the work of God because they got to involve trying to invited a worldly man/woman to church. You should always invite a person to church especially if you like them or they're interested in you. You never know God's will. But you should be very careful. Don't go any further than an invitation, if he really likes you and if he's "The" one for you he will come to church and give his life to God first - than you. You just have to sit back, be patient, and let God work. : - )))
