“She is more precious than
jewels; and nothing you desire compares with her.” – Proverbs 3:15
It’s been
almost a month since I’ve written a blog for this site but that doesn’t mean I
haven’t been receiving my B.A.G. of Miracles lately. On the contrary, I’ve been
blessed recently with a couple of answered prayers. I’ve just been remiss in
glorifying the One who has been showering me with these blessings.
And so
today, I will catch up by telling you about one of them. Actually I plan a
series of blogs on this topic because the experience and the materials are too
rich to share in just one blog. So what’s this blessing? It was my attendance last
April 30 to the 2016 Jewels Conference, the first one for Jesus-empowered women
ever to be held here.
The day
opened with spirit-filled worship led by an all-women ensemble – from the
worship leaders to the full band. Then Rissa Singson-Kawpeng introduced the
theme of the conference: Seasons of Truth.
She said
everything starts with the Word and because God’s Word is TRUTH, it’s just a matter of time before it comes true. Do you have
a prayer that has remained unanswered for so long? Are you about to give up on
that dream? Have you reached the point of frustration that you already gave God
an ultimatum? Is this your prayer now: Lord, If I don’t get that boyfriend I’m
praying for when I turn 30, I’m invoking leap year and catching one no matter
what size, shape or form he’s in?
The truth
is: if you believe in something, it
becomes true. There is no need to give God a deadline.
Rissa cited
the story of Judith who used both her faith and the beauty and wisdom God gave
her to gain victory for her people single-handedly. The Israelites were at the
point of surrender and had given God 5 days to hear their prayer. But Judith
prevailed on them to let her do what she intended to help her people.
I was
intrigued by her story so I read up on her in the Bible. Now she’s what I call
an empowered woman! She’s my new super heroine. One other thing I loved about
her is she’s a widow like me – a woman after my own heart.
So sisters,
remember this: when we hold on to God’s truth and are empowered by it, we can create
our own miracles!
