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

THE LORD IS REMOVING UNCIRCUMCISED LEADERS

REMAIN BLESSED AS YOU TAKE YOUR TIME TO STUDY THE WORD OF GOD. THURSDAY 30 DECEMBER THE LORD IS REMOVING UNCIRCUMCISED LEADERS TEXT: NUMBERS 14: 26-31  Key verse: Matthew 20:16 So the last shall be first, and the first last: for many  be called, but few chosen. Completion of the angelic message: The Lord continued. “Because of this mandate given to you, I am removing around you the uncircumcised leaders. I am going to fill their place with righteous and holy leaders from various nations and races.” Truly I had pondered if any minister has suffered like this. People I loved, cherished and lived peacefully with suddenly began to speak evil against me to my shock. Well, it happens in politics, but is limited to their countries, whereas mine is international! Yes, some ministers may have suffered these things, but that was before the advent of the Internet, so their sufferings were limited. Maybe through letters or newspapers for a limited time, but my own is in the world of the I...
