In April my husband went to Nigeria. I also travelled so when he got back I was still away. While he was in Nigeria everything seemed fine but once he got back to the UK I noticed he became distantand very cold. I asked him if I had done anything to offend him and he said no.
The day I got back to the UK, he told me he needed space and was going back to Nigeria to clear his head. Things went downhill from there. Communication broke down, he became someone I didn’t recognise. In fact he asked me for a divorce repeatedly. He would get so angry over nothing. The grounds he gave for divorce were extremely flimsy plus in my opinion he was battling with depression and was not acting rationally at all. In one of our conversations he even mentioned that suicide crossed him mind. It wasn’t just me. He also cut off his parents and his siblings and he left the church. Things were really bad.
During this period SL’s ministrations was around trials and this theme went on for the whole period of time this was going on in my marriage. I took it that this was my own trial. Also before this whole thing started there was a program for the married. I know God went ahead of me to prepare a way through. All I could do was fast, pray and trust God. During that time the Holy Spirit directed me to certain the prayer points on the Rebirth website. Not only my marriage needed to be restored but more importantly my husbands salvation. Some days I would be so angry I didn’t even want to pray the marriage restoration prayers. At a point I almost believed that maybe divorce was for the best.
Eventually my husband returned to the UK after a month in Nigeria. That was an answered prayer as he was threatening not to. Plus because I suspected he was depressed I was so worried about what he might do. When he came back things didn’t get better immediately but he agreed to go to couples therapy with me which was another answer to prayer.
Fast forward to the end of June, literally overnight I noticed a change in my husband’s behaviour. He started to engage with me again. He moved back into our bedroom, the next day was a Sunday and he asked to go to church with me. Little by little we began to be friends again. Fast forward to the present day, I can see happiness in him again. Our marriage is restored, love is back in my home. We are still working on it but I know God has done it and it shall be permanent.
I also have another testimony. For 7 years I have been stuck at the same level in my career and it was really starting to get to me. I felt stagnant. SL gave a prophesy that people would get promoted in April and I believed that I would be one of them. Promotions were announced and I wasn’t promoted. I was so disappointed.
Instead my line manager told me I was getting a pay rise to which I replied “are you giving me this pay rise to distract me from the fact that you haven’t promoted me?” I was so annoyed so that very day I updated my CV and began applying for new jobs. My line manager came back 2 weeks later to say that instead of promoting me next year they would
put me forward for promotion in December.
However I was already interviewing. I interviewed for senior legal counsel (the next level up from my current role). Instead I was offered an Associate Director role. 2 levels up. I accepted the offer this week. Isn’t GOD amazing. I felt I was behind my peers and GOD not only made me catch up he put me above. GOD is too faithful.
