A few weeks ago, before God’s provision, I told myself that I was going to write a testimony on His greatness, and here I am.
My cousin’s wedding was coming up (in October), and it was taking place in a different country. Early this year, when I found out she was getting married, I knew that I needed to make plans for attending the wedding, and was quite sure about it then. Around August, I lost my job, and my financially stability went downhill from there. I had lent a good friend a large sum of money earlier in the year, but circumstances made the payback delay. I still really wanted to go for the wedding, but did not know how.
I remembered God’s past miracles in my life, and although it was a struggle, I tried to be positive and prayed every day. Even with low faith, I still continued praying, and telling myself “God will provide”. So I started planning for this miracle; I created a budget and renewed my passport. I even started watching videos of the sites that I would see in that country.
A week before the trip, I still did not have enough to be able to travel, but continued praying. God then told me to ask for a loan from someone specific, which I would pay back with some of the money I had lent my friend once it hit my account. Some people would not recommend getting a loan to travel; I would not support that either. However, I had money, it just was not in my account at the moment. I started pushing the friend I loaned to get that done as quickly as possible, and asked the other friend for the loan, trusting that I would pay him back by the end of the month. He agreed, and I booked my flight.
I saw God’s hand in everything throughout that trip. My other cousin, who I was travelling with, offered to combine my little money with hers and cater for the trip for both of us, after which she would calculate what I owe her. She was not even aware that I did not have money in my account. I thanked God for this, because had I just been using my own money, I wouldn’t have visited all the places I wanted to visit.
As it stands, I owe my cousin and my friend money; and I plan on repaying that as soon as my money comes back to my account at the end of this month. It is such a burden, but I do not regret experiencing what I did one bit. I am trusting God that the money will come soon, plans are underway for that to happen. And I shall write another testimony regarding that in a few weeks, because God always provides if we have faith that He will.
Good for you! Looking forward to reading your testimony of God’s faithfulness!
God works in mysterious ways. If its in His will, it will come to pass. Rest assured of this
God Bless
