My husband, Samuel, and I have been married now for more than 21 years. We fell in love in college, and we fell in love hard. I am so very grateful! The Lord gave us such a once-in-a-lifetime type of love, the kind of love that has its roots in eternity, that withstands the tests of times, and that has the Lord's hand and His Word intermingled and interwoven in the very fabric of our relationship. I thank the Lord because, truth be told, we are very far from being perfect. If it were not for the Lord, where would we be? We will never claim to have operated in perfection, especially when it comes to the maturation of ourselves and our marriage.

Early in our marriage, people would comment that we looked so happy and didn't fight. That, of course was many moons ago, before we began our growth. We become very acquainted with the art of disagreement. We have gone through maturation periods that have stretched our faith, our trust and our very marriage. As a wife, I have run through the gamut of emotions. I have questioned myself, my worth, my relevance, my beauty, my appeal and my place, as well as my sanity.

I was so busy fantasizing and idealizing, attempting to recreate the past of a mate, that in the beginning I robbed myself of appreciating and honoring the great person, husband, father, provider, man of God and man of integrity that my husband had become. It became many times like it says in Proverbs 27:15: "A continual dropping on a very rainy day and a contentious [having a tendency to argument or strife; quarrelsome] woman are alike."

Picture that: It just doesn't stop. It keep pouring; it keeps storming. Wives, sometimes our "reminder," our "Why can't you? " or "Didn't you say you were going to do?" can eventually become a deluge for our husbands ...

Our attitudes can either reinforce or hinder our husbands. Wives, our husbands can either be "broken" and dismantled, or validated and healed, by the words we speak into their lives. As the Bible tells us, we were created to be his "help meet." So the way I see it, every time a husband sees his wife, he is to "meet help" and not hindrance. Proverbs 18:22 says we as wives are to be found a "good thing," someone favorable the Lord has given to our husbands. Therefore, we need to empower, elevate and show appreciation for our men, not emasculate them with our attitudes.

Ecclesiastes 9:9 says, "Enjoy life with the wife whom you love all the days of your vain life which He has given you under the sun; because that is your reward in life and in your toil because you have labored under the sun."

Blessing International Pastors with Teaching Books - Love For His People, Inc.

 

   Love For His People - books sent free to African Pastor

July 8, 2017

Dear friends,

Today we are sending to Pastor Abel in the Osun State of Nigeria these seven books from our Love for His People published resource material library. 

When the Lord Jesus told me in October 2010, after my return trip from Jerusalem, what I was to do going forward, after my question to Him, "What next?", He responded, "Write letters."

Thus my book "Ahava Love Letters" was authored, and published by Xulon Press, in 2011.

Since then, 14 more books have been written and published, in both paperback and Kindle, with the majority of them given out as gifts. These teaching materials are to encourage and provide further stones in the foundation of those wanting to walk with a strong, Christian/Jewish roots base in their life.

When I was with Derek Prince Ministries in Fort Lauderdale, Florida from 1987-1990 (and then again in Charlotte, North Carolina from 2001-2005), Derek had his International Executive Director David Selby provide funds for a work of the ministry called "Global Outreach". I remember the director Arlette Peak doing an excellent job in receiving requests, processing orders, and sending Derek's materials, free of charge, to trustworthy pastors, teachers and those wanting to build a good foundation in their walk with Jesus. 

Derek Prince, Steve & Laurie Martin - 1988 in Ft. Lauderdale, Fl.

Being the Financial Supervisor for both "tours of duty" with DPM, I saw the extent of funds received and paid out in order to do this excellent work. No wonder Derek's ministry is still thriving to this day - because of this generous mission, coupled with his strong prophetic stand for the state of Israel!

Love For His People ministry has followed in this example laid out by Derek and his team. We too have blessed Israel and His people for over seven years now, and want to expand the work of the ministry by sending more books to Pakistan, India, and now the continent of Africa.  

Today, we shipped books to Pastor Abel Oyewale in the Osun State of Nigeria. Even a small box cost $55 to ship international mail.

Pastor Oyewale first contacted me two months ago about providing materials for his church. After seeking the Lord in prayer, and further connection this morning with him, these books are on their way to him in Africa. 

In addition, my book Arms of Love has been published in Pakistan, in the language of Urdu, this month of July 2017. They will be distributed throughout the country to pastors and believers. We give much thanks to the good job done by our Love For His People-Pakistan Director Moses Julius, who coordinated the book publishing. Our first foreign-published book!

                

                             English version                                Urdu Language in Pakistan

We ask you to join us, as we bless the nations with the Word of God, with these teaching materials. We need your help. 

Please give what you can today, to bless these tomorrow. Our safe, online contribution button is below that you can use now. (Also on the right hand column of our Love For His People blog.)
