Testimonies

Testimony of financial turnaround

My family and I have been part of DCC Leeds since it started. Although we couldn’t give financially to the ministry like we wanted to but we gave our time in serving the vision of the church. Things were very difficult financially but we kept serving and serving faithfully. Our pastors knew our circumstances but they stood with us all through those seasons. My business wasn’t bringing income as it should, I was about to quit but thank God for my lovely wife who stood by us and believed God with us. My mentor approached me and said that he wants me to come on board as a senior member of staff and help his business with what I do. After praying and with my wife’s advice, I decided to accept the offer even though I have always wanted to own my own business. I did a market research of how much such senior posts for what I do usually gets paid. When I finally met with my mentor to discuss the pay, he asked me how much I would like to be paid as salary? I said I would like to be paid the market value. Although I wasn’t too serious about it when I said it, He said that is fine. He also offered me to get commission on all that the business generates in terms of sales, but I told him I believe in being honourable so I told him I would only like to get commission on the businesses that I generate. This is also my dream job! Today, God has changed our story financially and we give God all the glory for His faithfulness to us as a family. If God can do it for us, He can do it for you also.

I secured a job without applying

Last week a friend told me about a job and I went to check if they are still employing people. I was asked if I have my CV and they just started asking me questions about myself and they agreed to give me a trial of half an hour which went up to 2 hours because of how busy the business was on that day. Afterwards, the manager gave me feedback and also asked how I felt? I was offered the job immediately without APPLICATION and I’ve started the job. Now, I have a part-time job that will still allow me to work on my business. Thank you Jesus for this open door.

Prayer and fasting week

It has truly been a blessing partaking in the week of fasting. I have spent more time with the Lord and have become more intimate and more sensitive to Holy Spirit. I have been able to hear clearly on how to pray for people whom God has laid on my heart. My times of prayer and worship have also become more focused throughout the day.

During the week of prayer and fasting I was reminded of the love and salvation in Jesus Christ and also that God made a covenant with Abraham (Gen 17:1-9) and in keeping His promise He went to the extent of allowing Jesus Christ to become that Sacrifice. That is how faithful He is with keeping His promises!

In this week of fasting I have been praying with understanding of my Spiritual stand Point, that is In Christ, at the Right hand of the Father! Jesus said in John 16:23-26 that whatever we ask the father in His name, He will give us. I began to see the need for a deeper revelation of the power of the Name of Jesus, and our Authority as Believers!

Healing Conference

In 1999 I suffered from Cerebral Thrombosis and the side effects from the medication I received damaged some of the nerves in my legs causing me to have severe pains in my left leg especially. Walking was always painful and I took medication to control this pain four times a day. When the announcement came about the Healing Conference and Rev harry Gomes coming to minister I started praying that I would receive my healing. In the week leading up to the conference I woke up at 4am and prayed.

I also began listening to a past teaching of Dr Jerome and also remembered Pastor Ruth’s encouragement during Inspire sessions and that is when I decided to take my healing seriously. I told God that I wanted to be healed and didn’t want to have to take medication four times a day. On Friday 17th at the close of the first session, Rev Gomes made an alter call and as I got up to the front, I prayed to God again saying to him that I am looking to him and him only for my healing. As I stood at the alter I felt a sensation in my leg from my toes, then the sensation shot up to my hip. I knew then that it was done! I was healed. I praised God and since then I have been power walking! A big thank you to Pastors Jerome and Ruth!

Before the healing conference I had sinus problems for over ten years. I always had nasal congestion and this had caused swelling in my sinuses and painful headaches. Doctors said that I had allergies and recommended sinus tablets. These would work for a couple of days and then the problems would start again. After a while my body built up a resistance to these tablets and so they became less effective. I would wake up in the morning with headaches which only seemed to wear off with very strong coffee. But I soon realised that I was beginning to rely on coffee for relief of the headaches even though it was not resolving the real problem.

That is when I decided enough was enough. I asked myself ‘Why can’t God heal me?’ I decided to stop relying on coffee and tablets and rely on the word of God! After going forward for prayer at the Friday night session of the Healing Conference, I felt the pressure instantly go from my nose. After that there was no more pain. When I got home I continued to confess the word of God over myself and believe that I am healed of the sinus problems. After more than ten years of blocked sinuses and headaches, I am healed and I now wake up every morning with no headaches, breathing freely! Praise God!
