My story with God
I grew up in house with 9 children. I had a wonderful God fearing mom, who died in 1981, I was only 15 years old. As from the age of 15 I stayed with my dad and my sisters.
I thank God for carrying me through all these years, without a mom. I've been a good girl, never smoked and drank any alcohol before. Luckily for me, my friends were all christians. I grew up in the Lutheran Church, but 6 years later I started going to the Faith Baptist Church. That is where I gave my heart to the Lord and was baptised.
I am very happy in the Baptist Church, my kids are enjoying themselves singing and praising the Lord.
Other stuff about me:
Just want to tell you that God is in control of our lives.
My husband and I decided not to have kids anymore, so I was sterlized. We were very happy with our 2 beautiful daughters and that was it. Let me tell you, this is proof that whateva we do in life, we need to consult God. In August 2005 I turned 40, 2 months later I found out I was pregnant. Boy, oh boy, what a surprise for me, cause I was sterlized. My dear friends, I was shocked, but came to realise that God can changes things, not us. And, as I mentioned, I had 2 girls, God blessed me with a wonderful son. My pregnancy at the age of 40 was the best, the delivery of the baby was the best. Isn't this God!!! Halleluja, God is in control of our lives. Things tend to go wrong because we tried to solve and do things our way.
Let me encourage you today, first consult God, then leave it all up to HIM!!!!!
May you be blessed by this.
God bless
Sylvia

    My sister Sylvia,

    Praise the Lord for all His wondrous doings! by faith, go to bed today trusting that Jehova has aviled that job for you...His daughter! we are joint inheritors of His riches.

    Allow me to take you to what Christ told Nathanael in the book of John when he was marvelling as to how Christ knew him without first seeing him. I always find Christ's answer in John 1:47-51 intriguing. Prayerfully read these with me:

    John 1: 47-Jesus saw Nathanael coming to him, and saith of him, Behold an Israelite indeed, in whom is no guile!

    Jhn 1:48 Nathanael saith unto him, Whence knowest thou me? Jesus answered and said unto him, Before that Philip called thee, when thou wast under the fig tree, I saw thee.

    Jhn 1:49 Nathanael answered and saith unto him, Rabbi, thou art the Son of God; thou art the King of Israel.

    Jhn 1:50 Jesus answered and said unto him, Because I said unto thee, I saw thee under the fig tree, believest thou? thou shalt see greater things than these.

    Jhn 1:51 And he saith unto him, Verily, verily, I say unto you, Hereafter ye shall see heaven open, and the angels of God ascending and descending upon the Son of man.

    My sister, yesterday I told you that if you shall believe in Him, YOU SHALL SEE GREATER THINGS THAN THIS!

    It's time to shout for joy-Pst. Bernhard

    Sylvia-Seems like things have not easened out for you? Just praise the Lord during this hopeless circumstances. I tremble wherever I hear that a beloved is just on the brink of going on an empty stomach...this is not according to the plan of God dear. How I wish you were near...we could definately help from the little we have-and we have pretty little ourselves.

    I just pray that the honesty you display will touch the heart of the few brethren we have here from SA to enable them come to your speedy rescue. God will bless whoever gives to answer your plight abundantly. Your son definately needs to be happy and full! I would happily have sent anything (even cash over the wires) for you...only that the post election violence here in Kenya really dealt us a deadly blow. We are still struggling to make ends meet ourselves because many of our people were adversely affected and we find ourselves supporting upto four or five families. Only faith keeps us going, so to speak.

    My sister, the world is becoming increasingly cruel and uncaring each day...but let us not lose hope. God is in control and He will save His people. Trust that He will send his messenger before all hope is gone. Remember He sent the ravens to feed Elijah during those dark days...He will definately send somebody to meet your needs, to the praise of His name. Like my Mama Nienie told you, He is Jehovah Jireh-God the PROVIDER!!

    Just know that we are all praying for you. By the way, did you attend the interview? kindly let us know the outcome-Pst. Bernhard
  • Sylvia

    Thank you Pastor, thank you very much. One thing I can tell you, I am not losing hope, and yes, God is in control and I pray in the Mighty Name of Jesus that God will provide for us. I have added a new picture of my children, my 2 daughters and my son. Please keep on praying for a financial blessing.
    The interview is scheduled between the 5th and 9th of May. The lady called me back and told me that the person to interview me is on leave and will be back on the 5th. We need to claim this job for me Pastor, please, i am an experienced person, the lady who phoned me was very impressed and told me that I am qualified and she will send my CV to the company.
    Yes, I agree with you, the world is cruel today, but as you said, we may not loose faith. You know Pastor, I am very excited about the word of God, I can't stop praising Him and i can't stop telling people about Him.
    Thank you Pastor, I am sure you would have helped if it was in your area you would have seen to me.
    I appreciate you and all the others.
    I am praying for a breakthrough, and I know God is gonna come through for us.
    God bless you

  • Paige Robertson

    Hello sister!!!
    I have got your messages sweetie, and my heart cries for you. I know what it is like to be financially so strapped that you dont know where your next meal is coming from. When I got very sick in my eating disorder, it was just after I got married, and I bought a condo. I lost my job a year later because I was soo sick and my husband got hit with a high alimony payment by the judge for his exwife. I lost a good paying job, and all his money went to his ex. he had to apy her 2,000 a month based on what he used to make, not on what he makes now. So we pretty much got screwed to say the least! We barely made it, and had to pull money out of my husbands IRA to make the condo payment. I came to Christ after almost dying from my illness, and things started to get better, slowly but surely. I was a new Christian, and full of the Lord. I had to trust His promises that He would help and He was all along. I did have to file bankruptcy however, which sucked, but we couldnt pay the bills. Our house was in foreclosure too. But God helped us totally. We had to do all the leg work, but God gave us the power to. We got the alimony payment dropped down(this took some time) to 1,ooo a month and I was able to start over and build my credit. God blessed me with one art project,then another, then another, and next thing you know, I pretty much had my own business doing art and painting murals. To this day, we were able to find a home that fit us and our 2 babies,3 and 8 months. The condo we had was way too small. We had our son there, but my daughter was on the way, so we had to find a bigger place and God provided like He promised.
    Anyway, sister, Im sorry I wrote this LONG message, but I want you to know, that GOD WILL PROVIDE, you just dont know how or when, but He will! He will not leave you to starve and stranded. I promise you, that if He can help me, He can help you. God is working in everyone,through everyone to achieve His will. Maybe this happened to you to humble you and take you to the next level of His mighty plan for you? I know He humbles me alot.
    Well, sister, I love you, and Im there. I will pray for you sister. Remmeber you are loved here by many people. You are not alone! God Bless you and your home.
