HOW ONE SACRIFICE
OPENED UP MANY DOORS
In 2016, Ann Anofienem decided to start saving money so that she
could buy her own property.
I was waiting for my ‘name to
be cleared’.
Additionally, a reputable mortgage
adviser informed me that my salary
would not make a difference to my
situation, as with adverse credit, I
could not get a mortgage until it
had been cleared. Nonetheless, I
decided to use my faith and put an
offer down for a property.
“When the Campaign
of Israel came around
in December I had no
doubt that God wanted
me to sacrifice. I believed
that God had seen me
struggle and He knew I
had been fighting. He was
my priority; I always wanted
Him to be first in my life.
During a Monday financial
meeting in January 2017,
we were encouraged to
make a plan for a particular
goal. We were told to go
for something big, even if it
seemed impossible. I chose
to make a plan towards
getting my property.
I had sacrificed my
savings on the altar so
I knew I would need to
start from scratch. Plus,
I had adverse credit, so
There were many obstacles along
the way, so much so that I was
ready to give up. However, as soon
as I stopped trying to force it, God
stepped in and began opening
doors for me.
A well-known bank that had
added over £3,000 on my credit
report as a default, asked me to
scribe an apology letter from them,
acknowledging their mistake, which
they signed for my mortgage provider.
My mobile phone provider, who
had made three errors, removed
them all, even though they had
initially said it would be impossible.
The property owner’s financial
assessor, who had rejected me after
their own assessment, still signed in
my favour.
The owner, who had given me until
3rd April to exchange contracts,
waited for me until June.
Even though I sacrificed my deposit
in December, God opened up
unexpected financial doors for
me and provided just as He had
promised, surprising me with
payments from forgotten cases and
by using my work to unexpectedly
bless me.
In June, I finally received my
mortgage offer and I have now
moved into my new property. God
made the impossible possible!”

“The price of a victory is proportional to its size. That is why great
victories are only conquered by men of God, courageous, firm and
determined. The Holy Spirit never chooses cowards to achieve great
things for the glory of His Son!”
