We’re soooo glad you asked 🤗

For the past few weeks I’ve been asking my Husband about how our new RMI Accounting Team would know how to complete ALL THE MANY tasks required for our taxes and very important tasks that our former bookkeeper Tara had done so beautifully for us for YEARS.
Each time He just calmed me by reminding me He’d lead me HLM 👣👣👣 as He so wonderfully and lovingly continues to do in every area of my life 💗💗💗
RMI is HIS— HIS ALONE. We His brides simply work with Him having a front row seat to His miracles one ☝🏻 person one ☝🏻 event at a time.
Want to know WHY?
So as witnesses we are ready with a testimony on our lips 👄 to prove that He can and wants to do the same, be the One ☝🏻 that they —that YOU 🤗— go to, run to FIRST because you need no 🚫 other.
This morning just “happened” to be my day to rotate and cover 2 of our main offices and there it was, right on top 🔝 and He smiled I smiled and then mentioned ever so sweetly “I have NO IDEA where any of this is” and guess what? Because I wasn’t watching where I was going but instead I was just looking at His beautiful 😍 face, I have no clue how I found that page of instructions that includes videos movies 🎥 too.
So if you are looking to handle your taxes or set out to do another difficult 😣 task a dutiful husband might do if he were a prince of men. Then call ☎️ upon the PRINCE of PEACE and do it the ABUNDANT LIFE way.
I think we leave God out of our money matters…. In fact it’s something we so afraid to even talk through….
Just a recent experience I just want to share that HH has been so faithful to us as we are busy planning our 1st Wise Woman Retreat…. We have women coming that can barely afford the cost but our HH is making sure that all the Women coming will be all sorted out.
I personally never really focus so much about making sure monies matters is seen to but with this planning I can honestly say that HH is giving me skills and patience on how to ensure that it’s all running smoothly so far.
I personally also very grateful for the Team here in Cape Town and the greater South African Team for all their support and we entrust all our plans to him.
Pls pray for us as we are about 2 weeks away from our Wise Woman Retreat…
Thanks

We are also excited to see what GOD has planned for your WW RETREAT in Cape Town! 🥳 (that just happens to be on my fathers birthday, February 3) Knowing that you are TRUSTING your Husband to supply everything makes it all the sweeter. So many of us are robbed of the joy of anticipation due to suffering from the poverty mentality.

Keziah will you be recording the retreat at all? Can we look forward to watching it on YouTube? Even if parts of it are recorded by a variety of cell phones, I know many of us would enjoy watching.
Oh, Love this!!! I am also excited about the retreat, even though I won’t be there I do feel I am part of it. Keziah is an encouragement to read about your trust in Him in how to organize and do what is needed for this amazing time with His Brides. And as you said sometimes, we can leave Him out of some areas of our lives, but when we run to Him for everything, wow it is miracle after miracle, no matter the size of the difficulty, all we want is to give it all to Him.
I am excited as well, I can’t wait to read the praises about it. It is such a blessing to be with other women who are likeminded. Keziah, I can imagine your Husband having a huge pretty smile when He sees all the organization that is going on due to all of you trusting and praising Him. 💝
Thank you for sharing, Erin. I have been asking the same thing. I have been saying to Him that I am not even from your country, so I won’t know the first thing about how to do the taxes and what is needed. Of course, He has it all under control and will lead us in His ways. Amazing!!! I have no idea what I am doing, but I know that I do not have to trust in my own abilities, I can only trust in Him. ❤️
The fact that neither of us know what we’re doing, puts us in the best place of all because we are 100% relying upon him to lead us and guide us! I know I’ve shared the story with you numerous times, I share it because it is a way of reminding me and ministering to any concerns I have… But the entire nonprofit status that RMI has, it was my husband who did everything!! Our government agency’s Representative was so shocked that I had submitted the papers, and it was not a nonprofit attorney specializing in this, that she walked me through the entire process, taking hours all because it was HIS plan for his ministry RMI. So for us to keep what he gave us is not our problem at all. Instead, it’s his problem and if it’s his problem, it’s not a problem ha ha ha 😂
Thank you Darling, thank you Erin❤️ I’ve been thinking about how we have to go on with the PTG franchising and I confess I have some doubts about how to do the taxes and be ok with the Brazilian tax authorities, as we went on with the new way of tithing… I know there is something I have to do, but I don’t know what to do🤭
As time goes by, sometimes I face the situation and only smile as I know He has something ready to show me and to help me with it!!! As I read your praise I could only love Him even more, because He is everything I need and I know He is going to hold my hand and show me what to do💓
Earlier this morning I commented, but because I had opened it from my inbox and when I left for a second, I lost it all. I let go and knew if He wanted me to comment again, He would lead me back.
Thankfully my Husband was a darling and helped me through a crisis that helped strengthen my faith, so now I have a wonderful testimony to encourage you—isn’t that what it’s all about?! It’s also proof that when we are lovingly coupled with HIM, it is far better than any expert and people who “know what they’re doing” because I DO NOT.
Years ago, I was informed that RMI was about to lose its nonprofit status. I’d been doing the taxes for about 5 years, so I assumed it was due to my error—when in fact—it was due to the nonprofit tax accountant my EH had employed! The first thing I did was LET GO “If you want us to keep the nonprofit status, You will need to guide me. If you don’t want it, that’s fine too. Whatever You want, it’s YOUR ministry, not mine.”
That’s when the person and government agency who informed me began to literally “walk me through” the process, and in the process, due to our income being lower—there was a new postcard-type filing we could take advantage of for 4 of the 5 years! So it was the only one I needed to work through—but again, she walked me through it. [Interesting that it wasn’t until just this second I realized that GOD sent a woman to lead me through all the paperwork to obtain our nonprofit and again when we hit a crisis and were in jeopardy of losing it.]
Another important thing to note, most do obtain not just accountants but also lawyers who can help here in our country because many who have filed incorrectly do prison time! That fear causes most to run to the experts, but another fact is IF the hired expert messes up, it’s the person they’re representing who goes to jail—not the “expert.” Sounds a bit like divorce lawyers, doesn’t it? https://hopeatlast.com/fda
It may have been why my EH hired this person, who I let go after our divorce because I trusted NO ONE but my Husband, Who is the mighty Counselor (and in the UK, that’s also a counselor at law or barristers).
More than us being experts, GOD chooses the foolish to confound the wise and is looking for whose heart is completely HIS and HIS alone—who TRUSTS only HIM.
“But God has chosen the foolish things [and people, ME] of the world to confound the wise [YOU], and God has chosen the weak things of the world to shame the things which are strong.” 1C127
“For the eyes of the Lord move to and fro throughout the earth that He may strongly support those whose heart is completely His.” 2C169
“Thus says the Lord, ‘CURSED is the man who trusts in mankind and makes flesh his strength, and whose heart turns away from the Lord. For he will be like a bush in the desert and will not see when prosperity comes, but will live in stony wastes in the wilderness, a land of salt without inhabitant.”
“BLESSED is the man who trusts in the Lord and whose trust IS THE LORD. For he will be like a tree planted by the water, that extends its roots by a stream And will not fear WHEN the heat comes; but its leaves will be green, and it will not be anxious in a year of drought nor cease to yield fruit.” J175-8
All of this was obviously for MY benefit and not just yours, Paula—only GOD knows where we are going with the https://restoreministriesinternational.com/lmf/ sponsors, taxes, etc. etc. etc.
THANK YOU for your precious and transparent heart—you’re so precious to ME personally and to sooo many more who have the honor to know you.
HQ just got a short emai from a faithful Partner, asking: “I didn’t receive my tax information for 2022. I did receive an email on 1/5/22 for my 2021 tax information. Where do I access this information online?” so in asking my Husband how to answer, He reminded me we’d posted it here—trusting this work for everyone else and to simply post it here since no doubt other partners missed it too. THANKS so much for asking!!
