HOW IT ALL BEGAN
" I REMEMBER ONE DAY HAVING A STRONG IMPRESSION TO DO A MORNING DEVOTIONAL. I KNEW THAT GOD WANTED IT TO BE A SERIES THAT PEOPLE COULD WAKE DAILY AND KNOW THE WORD OF THE LORD FOR THAT PARTICULAR DAY. THE VISION WAS THAT IT ENCOURAGE, UPLIFT AND THAT IT ALSO BE A PLATFORM THAT GOD COULD POUR OUT REVELATIONS OF HIS WORD. I KNEW THAT VOICE TO BE GOD BECAUSE QUITE FRANKLY I AM NOT THAT CREATIVE. DESPITE THE FEAR OF FAILURE, I CLOSED MY EYES TIGHTLY AND BEGUN. I WROTE DAILY AND SOLICITED HELP FROM THE MINISTERS IN MY SPHERE. I BEGAN TO SEE GOD WORK AND MOVE THROUGH IT AND AS MY FAITH IN IT GREW GOD BEGAN TO GIVE ME VISION CONCERNING IT. ONE DAY I WAS MOTIVATED BY THE LORD TO INCORPORATE A 40 DAY FAST INTO SUNRISE WITH JESUS. WE DID SO AND SAW GOD WORK WONDERS. ABOUT A MONTH AFTER THIS GOD SPOKE TO ME CLEARLY SAYING "I HAVE BLESSED THIS BLOG, I HAVE HONORED YOUR FAST". IT WAS FUNNY TO ME BECAUSE I HAD ALREADY FORGOTTEN ABOUT THE FAST, BUT GOD NEVER FORGETS. AND SO, THESE ARE THE EVENTS THAT LED UP TO TODAY. SO IN SHORT, SUNRISE WITH JESUS IS THE PRODUCT OF THE VOICE OF GOD OBEYED.”
