My favorite testimony is when God reprimanded me! Some of you might be saying what; “who enjoys being disciplined;” However, that moment reminded God has no favorites. If you’re in the wrong, God will correct you.
At the time, I was being bullied during for a certain situation. I was being left out of resources, but God became my Rock and Mighty Judge. As a result I became arrogant, and that’s when God turned to me to reprimand me

It was the most exciting testimony to experience. Well I first cried when I saw that God withheld something from me. Yet I became arrogant due to the countless times God arrives as a Righteous judge. I had waited a long time through endurance and perseverance. Still it was not the time to become arrogant because God was about to do something big with my public humiliation. He would turn it into a public victory.
However how I noticed something was withheld from me was when I needed my online shops stock to arrive. When I tell you very invoice number was 6:14 everywhere Ieam every where. My phone records to the shipment company and invoices invoices had 6:14.
God justifies those who stay humble in persecution, discrimination and rejection
It’s only after I sat down out of frustration that I remembered that 6:14 is my favorite verse. I thought I was going to be comforted, but I was convicted. Immediately while reading Inshall not boast, the holy spirit like a loud and clear voice replied; “You’re boasting,” and I Immediately knew this is why my online shipment is delayed.
May I never boast except in the cross of our Lord Jesus Christ, through which the world has been crucified to me, and I to the world.
Galatians 6:14 NIV
The very moment the Holy spirit spoke, I cried and repented. I admitted that I was magnifying the rejection and discrimination. And as a result of it, I became arrogant as if God’s help was from my own strength. The moment I repented and turned back to humility, God answered my prayers. He delivered my products exactly how I prayed for them.
The Lord will grant that the enemies who rise up against you will be defeated before you. They will come at you from one direction but flee from you in seven.
Deuteronomy 28:7 NIV
He made my products pleasing and good to the eyes. Only 2 items had to be dry cleaned, but God’s grace was still on me. Likewise God will justify you anywhere you need; however it’s important to remember He’s your Savior and King. He’s not your genie, and He’s not your hench man.
