TESTIMONY OF RESTITUTION BY SISTER ESTHER EFFIONG

Text: Genesis 20: 1-18 

WEDNESDAY FEBRUARY 1st 

Key verse: Luke 19:10 “For the Son of man came to seek and to save that which is lost”
My name is sister Esther Effiong, an indigene of Akwa-Ibom state based in Katsina, Katsina state, Nigeria. My testimony started in December 2012. Before I came to know HOREMOW, I was a member of the Apostolic church and thought I was born again. However, during the December 2012 conference, I heard the messages of Sister Linda and Pastor Paul Rika, and I realized that my experience was not genuine. Based on the messages I learned about restitution, and I realized that I was in the wrong marriage because I was a second wife to a man. More so, I was putting on worldly attires which was also wrong and sinful to the lord. The true messages I received convicted me and I started attending meetings of HOREMOW in Kaduna state while planning how to do my restitution. 
Two weeks after I started fellowshipping with HOREMOW, the man I got married to as a second wife started persecuting me. When he became aware that I wanted to leave the marriage on restitution, he threatened me saying that over his dead body, I won’t leave. According to him, two of us would die if I make any attempt to leave him. It was a serious battle for six years, packing in and out of the house, trying to make it work. Till I finally moved out by faith and grace. After leaving his house, I was accommodated by a sister in HOREMOW. Two weeks after I left, he sent my children out of the house. I came back and packed my few clothes and sewing machine. My second son who was in his third year at the university was confused about how he would continue his education. I told him, the Lord will take care of everything. God took over the situation; presently he has graduated. By God’s mercy, my children have gotten jobs and taking care of me. Doing my restitution gave me joy, and peace of mind and I can now preach the gospel without fear. Praise the LORD.

Thought for the day: Restitution is an integral aspect of holiness

Song for the day: Let me tell you what I miss since I believe in Jesus…

Bible reading for the day: Exodus 27-28; Matthew 21:23-46

Signs And Wonders Should Be According To Biblical Pattern

God's blessings shall be following you continually for taking the time to study. Signs And Wonders Should Be According To Biblical Pattern Text: Mark 16: 17 – 20 Wednesday May 8th Key verse: Obadiah 17 “Upon mount Zion shall be deliverance, and there shall be holiness and the house of Jacob shall possess their possessions.” God has prepared to direct us on holy service unto Himself. He tells us when the lives and services of people are corrupt because from the heart of men proceed the works they do. When people are righteous and holy, their service is also righteous and holy. Hence, the word says, make the people holy then their service will be holy, so if you accept to live a life of holiness, then the fruit of your service will be holy. So, it is very important to accept the life of holiness because the God that made you is holy; He will give you grace to be holy. You just make up your mind to be holy. Do not accept that no man can be holy; then Jesus came for nothing, Jes...

God’s Extra Effort In Restoring The Backslider

God's blessings shall be following you continually for taking the time to study. God’s Extra Effort In Restoring The Backslider  Sunday May 12th Text: Jeremiah 3: 15 – 17 Key verse: Ezekiel 33: 11 Say unto them, As I live, saith the Lord God, I have no pleasure in the death of the wicked; but that the wicked turn from his way and live: turn ye, turn ye from your evil ways; for why will ye die, O house of Israel.  Receive the word that will change you, restore you, reestablish you and give you back the hope of eternal life. Come back! The Lord is pleading. Can you see the effort of God in your life? And can you see madness in your life; resisting every effort God is making. God is calling you. Retrace your ways. Follow the good old way. Go and confess those things, do not keep them. Your problem is, you want to serve God but you have not confessed your sins openly because of shame, fear and  pride which shall be dissolved in hell. That is where your problem is. Yes, you wa...
