Thank you Lisa for always bringing quality in these videos 🥹🥰
Rev Raymond once preached at our church one Sunday. Glad to hear his story and the work that God has done through him. His story is one of hope, hope God’s way not our way!
He’s a real blessing
Thank you Lisa for inviting Rev Bukenya into this space. Through his testimony am more than encouraged too.
This year is the 2nd since my husband's going to the Lord and considering Rev's sharing I do see light at the end of the tunnel for my little girl and myself! Thank you again!
Hugs and strength my dear

And yes a discussion on blending would be great.
you shared one on divorce, now loss of spouse, so a separate topic on remarriage and blending would be great.

@@ainembabazishallon5934 I’m glad you’ve been encouraged my dear
Please host him again 😊
😅😅 hehe
Before I watch, Hi Mami Lisa, u a loved with the love of God darling ❤
a very had time for him. but God is gracious
oh wow..... i'm speechless. But in all this, God has surely been so good.
No temptation has overtaken or enticed you that is not common to human experience [nor is any temptation unusual or beyond human resistance]; but God is faithful [to His word-He is compassionate and trustworthy], and He will not let you be tempted beyond your ability [to resist], but along with the temptation He [has in the past and is now and] will [always] provide the way out as well, so that you will be able to endure it [without yielding, and will overcome temptation with joy]. 1 Corinthians 10:13
👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾
May God bless you Rev.Omg 🙏👍
Amen
Lisa you look great.
You’re so kind
When you think your suffering and then boom, your like eeeeh am priviledged for this because people have suffered. One thing that i got here (thought i was alone and i was questioning my faith), is scriptures, motivation speakers and self books not working and its just your moment🙌, you just have to accept it and listen to yourself and God.
We need to be grateful indeed
People need a listening Ear 👂 !
It's true you can ask God questions. And feel like quitting. But just like the disciples told Jesus, where can we go, you only have the words of life! So you stay and hang in there. With time God gives you the grace and you in fact love God the more
Indeed! Where can we go?
❤️
Thanks for watching
Bring him back again he has alot to say
For it has been granted to you that for the sake of Christ you should not only believe in him but also suffer for his sake, engaged in the same conflict that you saw I had and now hear that I still have.(Philippians 1:29-30)
God is the light at the end of the tunnel.
Living proof that Jesus lives... This was awesome 👌
Yes yes yes!!
My key take away is that every word in us shall be tested regardless yet we can’t keep ignorant to die early😂
Hehehe
God is God
As he was sharing, am reminded of Genesis 3:9 - But the Lord God called to the man, “Where are you?”
And to-date, one of the questions that we keep asking is where are Fathers? Where are the men? Where are the husbands?
And in Titus 2, Paul writes to Titus on how men ought to be...sober, sensible, worthy of respect, dignified, self-controlled, and sound in faith, in love, and in endurance.
Thanks for sharing
Kisapatu mother 😂😂😂 my mum
Ahh the comment on women facing harder issues having had a past.
