| DON'T GET TRAPPED |
Moreover, that’s exactly what happened! She left him alone and he did
all this on his own. He became delivered from his problems, he found her and they got married.
But be careful, because at the time of your determination and consistent prayers
the devil will try to send many wrong people your way to trap you as he tried
doing to me. When I was determined to save myself for a man of God, its like the devil would try to stop me. The men he would send at this point weren’t like the others. These men were now more
persistent. I would say NO and give them the same speech I gave the others but
they didn’t care, they kept coming back and kept asking me the same questions
as if they didn’t hear me say NO the first time. They kept asking if I would go
out with them, if I wanted to see the game with them, if I wanted to meet their
family and so on. This would just get me even more revolted because on their
face you could see that the only thing they were interested in was sex, it was
written all over their face, it wasn’t just one or two of these men but there
were about seven and they were persistent.
It was unbelievable how these men were just throwing themselves at me. And it was back to back. But I
knew it was a trap of the devil to try and distract me from my goal of having my man of God by my side.
I know that if I wasn’t in
constant communion with God and constant wars every hour stomping on the
devil’s head, I would have failed. I would have fallen into one of these traps
of the devil and wouldn’t be able to pick myself back up. If I would have left
an opening by slacking in my prayers and giving a foot hold to the devil for
him to get into my life, by today I would be a wreck. It’s a good thing that
I knew what I was getting myself into – WAR – but it wasn’t against flesh and
blood but against satan himself
“For we are not fighting against people made
of flesh and blood, but against the evil rulers and authorities of the unseen world, against those mighty powers of darkness who rule
this world, and against wicked spirits in the heavenly realms” Ephesians
6:12 (NLT).
Once you get into war there is only one of two
ways out, DEAD or ALIVE!
Anyways....After constant prayers
and persistence, after my sacrifice in the Campaign of Israel exactly four
months later then my sister Elise, I Elsie found my partner, Assistant Pastor
Leonardo. I was introduced to him by his father ( Bp. Francisco) and my dad
(Pr. Nathaniel),who by the way was drawn into me by my smile (this is where the post I wrote about always looking your best at all times comes in very handy). Bp. Fransisco and my dad
organized the whole thing to get us to meet. The next thing I knew I was in the arms of Leo,
just like it happened to Rebekah and Isaac (Genesis 24). And to our surprise
we actually met before, we met each other in South Africa many years ago, about
fifteen years ago when we were still young. We used to play together along with all
the other children (because our parents were always traveling to preach the
Good news, so this is when our parents were sent to Africa to do the work of
God, and we met there).
Look how great God works!
