If you want to be popular, preach happiness. If you want to be unpopular, preacher holiness.
-Leonard Ravenhill
Christianity is not simply about going to church, it is about being the Church. It is not a playground for us to flirt around with sin, it is an everyday battle against one's flesh and the open door it gives to satan's demons.
This is the message that revolutionized my life ever since I became a Christian. Being saved at age 15, these words were nothing but offensive insults to my 'religious', and seemingly holy self.
I was raised in a Catholic home. I went to the chapel every sunday, but lived like a devil monday onwards. It was nothing but hypocrisy to the core. The words I listened to did nothing to affect my worldly and sinful lifestyle.
Then Jesus came.
One day as I got invited to a Revival Crusade along with my Pentecostal friends, Jesus met me ... And brought me to the ground in tears as I realized my filth. Out of the ashes, forgiveness, love, restoration was given to a wretched woman. All I am, all I can do, is because His grace is sufficient to save the most broken of lives.
I began writing these stories to show that in God, failure is not final. That through God, your greatest struggle will become your greatest testimony.
The books God has inspired me to write shows the lives of many broken people. Fire Breathed, written when I was just 16, is a story of salvation. Restore, is a story of failure in sin and deliverance. No Turning back, written during the first waves of the pandemic, is a story of Revival - a Cry for Revival.
Just like us, these characters experienced brokenness, sin, failure, guilt, losing faith and turning away from God. If you wanna see how they overcome, come aboard and see how God moves even in our darkest circumstances.
My prayer is that through these books, God would speak to you as He did with me when I wrote them.
God bless you, beloved one. To God be the Glory!
