â Today's Promise: âBut if you return to me and keep my commandments and do them, though those of you who have been scattered were in the most remote part of the heavens, I will gather them from there and bring them to the place where I have chosen to cause My name to dwell.â Nehemiah 1:9
~ Selase in Ghana
Dear Brides,
"Enter through the narrow gate. For wide is the gate and broad is the road that leads to destruction, and many enter through it. But small is the gate and narrow is the road that lead to life and only few find it." Matthew 7:13-14
I must admit it took me a while to really understand what my HH (Heavenly Husband) wanted to really show me when I started this chapter ["Finding Your Life"], I must admit what started as me solely pursuing marriage restoration has turned into a love affair, I just canât seem to get enough off.
Indeed Iâve come to realize that this journey is really not only my marriage but it includes the restoration of all other aspects of my life, my relationship with my family, friends and yes my health! I find my self constantly seeking my HH face, just wanting to be closer to know to build everyday a more stronger relationship with him. His word has indeed become my life line which I hold on to each day, even times where I stumble I find myself running to Him because in Him I have truly found rest!
I used to be someone who was constantly anxious and would panic in almost all situations, initially when I started my journey I was anxious and afraid of where this journey would lead me, yes I did know God but I didnât have a personal relationship with Him, and yes the enemy would take advantage of this weakness and Iâd find my self constantly question my Beloved about what His plans were when He has clearly lead me to this ministry and answered my prayer but it never felt enough until I had a real encounter with my Beloved as I began to study the word and the courses.
He took away all that fear and anxiety to the point where I find my self praising Him through difficult challenges because Iâve come to develop a deep relationship with my Beloved and He promises that âthrough the waters Heâs with me, through the river He will not allow me to be overflown by them, through the fire I will not be scotched and that I will not be burntâ
I keep asking my self what loosing my life really means and this is how the Lord helped me to understand itâŚ
It means dying to the old me- the self centeredness, the self righteousness, my spitefulnessâŚall of those things that did not bring favor in the eye of God and gaining the new life which to me is the fruit of the spirit which is love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, generosity, faithfulness, gentleness, self control.
And as my HH (Heavenly Husband) keeps leading me I am beginning to exhibit these traits in my life, I know Iâm still a work in progress and I believe that the good work Heâs started in my life Heâll see to itâs full completion.
Dear Bride..
âFor your husband is your maker-the Holy one of Israel is your redeemer, heâs called the God of all the earth, the lord has called you back, like a wife deserted and wounded in spirit, like the rejected wife of oneâs youthâ says your God. For brief moment I forsook you, but with great compassion I will bring you backâ Isaiah 54:5-7
My dear Bride, our HH is calling you, seeking to bring you back to Him because when you have Him, you have everything!
âBut if you return to me and keep my commandments and do them, though those of you who have been scattered were in the most remote part of the heavens, I will gather them from there and bring them to the place where I have chosen to cause My name to dwell.â Nehemiah 1:9
Our beloved is calling us back to Him, though we have wondered He's waiting at the door with arms open wide to welcome us back homeâŚinto His caring and tender arms.
