Have
you ever suffered ‘Rejection’, rely on God’s Word alone.
‘Jacqueline Zoutene's father’ was a
pastor, so she grew up with God's Word in Central Africa. Now, as she sees her
region being terrorized by the Muslim sect Boko Haram, she fears for her loved
ones but continues to draw her strength from the Bible. In fact, she turned her
commitment to God into a job working for the ‘United Bible
Societies’ since 2006.
From a very early age, I had a deep love
for Bible stories, and I knew them by heart and I was especially moved by the
way God worked through the men and women in these stories. Through these
[Bible] stories, I discovered a way of living, faith in God in both joy and
suffering and the deep relationship that you can have with God if you place all
your trust in him."
As a child, she said she found it hard
to see Muslims in important positions, and to watch churches being ransacked
and Christians persecuted.
She said and I quote - "I am very
saddened to see my region now being terrorized by the Muslim sect Boko Haram. I
am living far from my loved ones, and sometimes I fear the worst for them. In
times of despair and doubt, the words of the Lord in John 14:1 are a great
comfort: "Don't be worried! Have faith in God and have faith in
me".
Here is Zoutenne
She said she feels Christians should
testify to Christ through their lives, by living a genuine faith, in integrity
and honor and in accordance with the Word.
Zoutenne is especially touched by the ‘United Bible Societies' Esther project, through which girls who have become mothers and girls who
have suffered sexual exploitation are introduced to God's Word. "It is
often when we are at the lowest point in our lives, when we feel rejected, that
God comes to meet us," she said.
"This is certainly what happens in
the Esther project: these young women discover God's Word and enjoy the
fruits of happiness which come with God's call.
Hmnn…Seeing lives change creates in me
an even deeper thirst for God and his Word."
Zoutenne said she knows humans are lost
without God's Word, so she makes it the heart of raising her own children now.
"My husband, our three children and I begin our days with a time of
reflection and prayer. This is an opportunity to teach our children Biblical
values, which we believe are the highest possible values, since they are from
God. We also encourage our children to read God's Word for themselves."
"I love my children so deeply that
I don't want them to go astray… She said. I want to be sure the education I am
giving them is the best one, That' s why I rely on God's Word. I pray that God
will come to each one of my children and that they will remain close to him
whatever the circumstances, that they will be able to proclaim themselves as
Christians whatever happens. A life close to God is the best thing that could
happen to us." #Selah
Ladies… I believe
Zoutenne is worthy of emulation. Let’s follow in her steps and be all we were
called to be as daughters of Zion.
