I now understood that I was not a victim and had all the authority over every circumstance in my life and that God loves me no matter my circumstances.
Around the same period, we (and my children) had applied for visas to join my husband who was working in the UK. However, on our first attempt, the visa decision didn’t come our way yet we had spent a lot of money applying for them. The negative response was a huge setback to our plans I almost gave up because I could not imagine going through the rigorous process once again.
However, the Holy Spirit strengthened me and every time I listened to the teachings from Rev. Kola & Funke, I was encouraged to keep going and my faith kept growing.
The Second Attempt
My husband & I decided that we were going to give it another try and apply a second time but the funds were not enough to apply for all the visas. So, we stepped up our faith through prayer and fasting and continued to rely on God’s promise through reading the word.
My husband through Men’s fellowship also committed our prayer request for the members to stand and agree with him that God would provide the money we needed to apply for the visas and for God’s favour to prevail.
One day, while on my way back home from work, God gave me an idea of how I would be able to secure funds for the application. I was at first hesitant because it involved selling off part of our property but I trusted God. Within a month God showed me who would buy the land and when I asked the person they were willing to buy it and the person paid almost twice the money I had purchased it. So we managed to apply for the visas again.
The Wait
As we waited for the response from the UK (visa) office, the devil started to torment me with negative thoughts; he kept reminding me of what had happened the previous time. But we took time off fasted and prayed and during this time the Holy Spirit quickened this scripture Isaiah 54:4 to me. So we kept renewing our minds with this word of God declaring it and believing that we would not be disappointed.
From then on I took my victory by faith and every time, I went to God in prayer instead of asking; I was just praising God and thanking him that we had already got the visas. I even went ahead to plan for our tickets because I knew without a doubt that God was able.
After 7-10 days, I received the email to go and pick up my feedback from the visa office, and guess what God had answered our prayers and truly we were not disappointed. And as the saying goes, the rest is history!
