Brethren I am Sister Catherine Igbokwe. 76years of life in the land of of the living only by God’s Grace.
‘My life is a journey’ God has ordained a unique plan package full of stories yet untold.
In this book are pages of God’s awesomeness, love, faithfulness amiss various challenges.
I am not yet where God wants me to be, for He has broken the gates of brass and cut the bars of iron asunder.
Born to my parents first child after waiting for 8 years for my arrival, so I was named Uchechukwu.
Has the journey been swift? by no means, it has been both wonderful and complex, but Isaiah 43/10 is my life logo.
Got well educated, did well in my Nursing Profession, got married to my dear husband in the 70s in London and so suddenly the love of my life passed away leaving me with 4 children and a big vacuum yet unfilled, my world turned upside down!
Being just a religious, Church attendee, I deviated, did my own thing my own way in imperfections, but true to my name, God took over my short comings; turned me to a blessed, favoured, imperfect but forgiven daughter of Zion for I was arrested by the Holy spirit through prayers and efforts of God’s chosen vessels.
Romans 8v1 teaches that there is therefore no more condemnation for those who are in Christ Jesus.
I struggled greatly with guilt and condemnation; loved the Lord desired to do right, yet there were times I walked in the flesh instead of in the spirit, made and still make mistakes.
Gilt is an invisible burden that wears one out and does no good at all; prevents progress and renders one incapable of proper Fellowship with God because we must approach Him in Faith, boldness; not in fear and guilt for by His death He cancelled our guilt.
Part 2
Joining the ICFI Community my spiritual eyes opened more as the Rhema in the word of God. God’s word became my torch light for life airport in times of weakness, anxiety, fear, through powerful songs, prayers in my mother tongue. In this group you are helped to study and glean a lot from self-effort with support of these wonderful children of a great God as they allow themselves in humility to be used by God.
Join this Community of Igbo brethren in worship hymns, prayers, social interactions, and you will be glad you did.
No child of God is exempt from vulnerability; for I use to be a woman of evidence like Thomas in the book of John 20 /24 to 30, but Jesus spoke peace to my doubts as HE did to Thomas.
Join us in this group non intimidating, gentle, unassuming, calm tutorial; you get to be like the Berean Christians; you go stay intimate with your creator after each Fellowship meeting.
Jesus understands us at our Crisis of faith, He spoke peace at my crisis of faith in this Community of Igbo brethren, and like Thomas, I realised that close intimate worship brings true transformation of attitude, character, and that is a great testimony people of God.
So again, Jesus did not condemn apostle Thomas, so he raised his voice and shouted my Lord and my God!! Brethren this is a serious act of worship, not emotional reaction at worship, but volitional.
Question, in closing, are you running with other people’s affirmation of who Christ is and what He can do in all that concerns us?
Come on board the ship of ICFI: am not saying that the leadership and body of this Fellowship are perfect; for none has attained perfection yet— come, join as we all run in pursuit of JESUS Christ; Holy spirit being the ultimate teacher.
Come on board the chasers of CHRIST, for without Him our lives are hopeless!
Remain blessed, beloved of the Lord.
