Awesome Gists From The Women At The Well Hangout Part 3

I cannot believe that I’m just getting around this post when the meet held on April 9th.

Forgive me, PHCN and slow network are to blame…maybe with me a little in the middle 🙂

 

So before all the gists begin, the video from the meet first of all. I heard some persons have been looking for it 😀

We spoke on “finding and staying in your place” and if you need encouragement to stay in whatever season God has you, then you should totally watch the video below or on my Youtube channel HERE

 

 

Now, unto main matters on went down at National Theatre on April 9th 2016…

Weekends like the one we just had with “The Women At The Well” have me asking God what possibly He wants to do with me… I mean the time out with this group that started from a simple email blows me away… I am sitting and watching God build something out of nothing and this I truly had nothing to do with.

 

As is usual with me, I will be chronicling gist from the day’s activities.
If you don’t know what “The Women At The Well’ group is, you can start from HERE.
So our second meet for the year held on Saturday April 9th 2016 and it was just funny the kind of stunt satan tried to pull to stop us from digging into the word.’
I had gone to National Theatre Lagos on Wednesday to make inquiries about the place and was told that the venue is free and people can have picnic like stuff under the trees…one of the guards told me that it wasn’t free and people pay to the security guards but armed with information that it was free from two others, I recognized that the guy wanted to jones me and I just dumped he number he gave me.
So we got there on Saturday and one of the guards came to disturb us and with some of the ladies calling his bluff, he finally admitted that he wanted us to “dash him something” and one of us dashed him 500Naira.
Only for the meet to be in full swing and two of these security men came to ask essentially for money (they would later say that they weren’t asking for money).

As they were talking and then veered into saying that they won’t allow us use the venue, I walked away and went to the museum where I was told on Wednesday that the theatre grounds is free and I kept praying all the way… recognizing the fact that satan wanted to use the tool of distraction to take our eyes away from why we were gathered there.
I kept saying “not today satan” with something akin to anger as I saw what he was trying to do.
Getting back to the meet grounds, I saw the head of the security who the guy that was disturbing us had gone to call to support him… the head of security suddenly turned an started supporting us!
It was like magic!
I watched as the whole thing turned before my very eyes.. the head of security insisted that the grounds were free and we should go on with what we were doing.
As we were talking, the guard called me mannerless and was just lieing that he didn’t ask for cash… I wanted to get mad but realized again what was happening and started laughing.

As we were resolving that, the guard I met on Wednesday walked in and was so angry that I didn’t call him to “reason with him”. The head of security again caught on that and told us to continue and went to warn his staff.
He also told the guard who collected 500naira from one of us to return it and it was even done with apologies.
And I kept asking myself what it was about the meeting that satan wanted to disrupt… I mean the ladies could have given up and gone back home…
I could have been distracted and decided that there was no need to share the word anymore…
I could have been out of touc with what God wanted to share because of the altercations with the guards…
Instead God gave our ladies who came a heart to even much more want to stay and fellowship with each other…
An intense desire for the word…
A desire not to leave till the meet ended… my heart swelled as I saw these things and I knew it couldn’t have been me… our prayers for the meet were met and answered.

I looked at myself, the small girl who wore just jeans, top and carried a mop of natural hair on her head and I knew it wasn’t me these ladies were there for… it was God working through all these and I couldn’t be more grateful for Saturday.
Even with the sand-flies’ – there were some wicked sand-flies’ in that place, biting our ladies and even making their skin swell, still these ladies stayed, heard the word under that condition and still joined hands in prayers, with joy… I don’t know, but I am just saying thank You Lord!
Thank You!

 

As usual, the meeting was one filled with love, joy, unity that accompanies meetings gathered in God’s name… and I was more blown away when a lady who was scheduled to meet someone at the theatre came in, couldn’t reach who she was supposed to meet, met one of us at the gate, joined the meet, heard the word and afterwards came to me to say that she is so thankful that she couldn’t reach who she was supposed to meet.
I mean how awesome is that?
God bringing people for His own purposes.
I was just blown away.

Loads of testimonies about this second quarter ladies meet…
I am chronicling them all even as we watch God expand this group on His own accord.

And I will just let the pictures below tell the story of Saturday.

Again, you can also watch the word that was shared at my YOUtube channel HERE or at the end of this post.
Don’t miss out on watching the video, it just might be a word for you.

Till our next meet,
Stay revved up spiritually and keep walking in God’s purposes for your life,

Love,
Frances.
