Shortly after moving back to Beaumont,
I left my home church after the death of my pastor and joined another
church. I was there for ten years but during the latter years something
was missing and my soul felt empty. I had a hunger that needed to be fed,
so I began to visit other churches. Someone told me about Triumph in
Nederland so I visited there one Sunday and left feeling like my soul had been
fed.
Once joined in 1986, I began to have a
better understanding of tithing, but never committed to being fully faithful in
doing so. Years later of being disobedient and trying to handle my
finances my way, I participated in a Sunday morning class regarding tithing
that was taught by Pastor Stovall. As a result of his teaching and the
leadership and teaching of Pastor Randon, I became stronger and more
submissive to God. And when things got more difficult and I was thinking the
money for my tithing could help, I held on to God’s word and stood on faith
that He would get me through this. I won’t lie and say that I did not
stumble at times, but I would get back up, refocus and each time grew
stronger. I became bold in speaking God promises out loud and knew I had
to be standing in the right position for my blessing. When it came, I was
financially blessed to pay off my mortgage in ten years instead of thirty and I
am in the process of making needed repairs to my home.
As a member of Triumph Church, I am
blessed with leaders who can teach God’s word clearly so I have better
understanding. And when I stumble, friends who don’t judged, but encourage me
to get up, stay focused and know that in spite of, God still loves me.
