Greetings in the name of our Lord Jesus Christ. I express my gratitude to the Almighty for His protection and guidance, as well as to the leaders for granting me the opportunity to share my testimony of the incredible transformation brought about by the Lord and His powerful Holy Spirit in my life.
My name is Sister Maria Niua, originally from Tunuloa, Saqani, Cakaudrove in the Northern part of Fiji, with maternal connections to Verata, Tailevu. A mother of five, I am currently attending Tunuloa Sub Center. On the 25th of July, 1993, I experienced a spiritual awakening, marked by the signs of speaking in tongues, in accordance with biblical references such as Acts 2:4, and Isaiah 28 :11-12, and other supporting verses. On that significant day, I humbly submitted myself to water baptism, fulfilling God’s word in my life, bringing about a profound sense of peace and joy, signaling the departure of my old worldly life and the initiation of a new journey with God’s spirit
Despite being raised in a church unfamiliar with the Bible, I now consider myself fortunate that God chose me and revealed the truth, allowing me to be a member of His kingdom. Reflecting on my testimony in July 2023, during a challenging time when I suffered a mild stroke, I found myself admitted to the ICU at Savusavu Hospital and later transferred to the women’s ward.
A pastor in the Revival Fellowship from our area visited, prayed for me, and in that moment, I felt God’s love and the wonderful gifts bestowed upon me and heal me. Despite the uncertainty, I never wavered and continued to pray in tongues, confident in His enduring love. I continually praise Him for His love and compassion, enabling me to stand steadfast in these last days.
To anyone reading this testimony, facing similar challenges or hardships, I encourage you to persevere and never look back. Our God is always there for us, ready to heal and support those who place their faith in Him and believed what Jesus said in John 3:3-5 โYou must be born againโ. I pray for the Lord’s blessings upon this testimony and upon all who encounter it. Amen
