Testimony of Daniel & Nono Bresler |
|
I give thanks to God my father who has not only saved me, but protected me in the days when I was in great darkness. Being the son of a pastor and growing up with religion I thought that I knew it all, but it was the day that I opened my heart to Jesus that God started revealing himself to me as a father who loves, protects me, leads me and provides for me. I am so excited for what the Lord has...not just for me but also for the incredible church into which he has grafted me. The Lord recently blessed me with a beautiful wife and together we desire to go forward and wholeheartedly to give ourselves to God's plan. Even though it is a dark world which we live in we can declare Psalm 118:17 "I will not die but live, and will proclaim what the LORD has done." Nono (my wife) grew up in a typically African rural setting and after school she moved to the city of Johannesburg to study further. Life in the city was so different from what she had known as a child. People lived in expensive, beautiful homes and could afford anything they wanted. Even though Nono was a believer in Jesus, she was ambitious and wanted to have the same lifestyle as the city people which she envied. However, she also longed for the life that she read about in Acts 2:42. This is what she says.... I realised that God can provide for me, for he knows the things which I need and that the prosperity and success that God speaks about is not what the world offers. He has blessed me more than I could ever have imagined. Now I am a wife and have a wonderful big family...just like in Acts 2:42. |
