and Deliverance, I realized that God might
not be through with me but I really didn’t see
how I was going to carry on with the ministry. Then with a year left to finish my course I
began to write the story of my failed marriage.
This was to heal the pain I felt on the inside
but when the story was finished, I had two
options before me. I could hand it over to an
established magazine or I could begin a magazine of my own. I chose the latter and that
led to the birth of DOZ Magazine. For close
to a year DOZ Magazine made an impact but I
shut down the operations at the end of 2009
because of numerous challenges at the time
which overwhelmed me. I thought DOZ was
over but when people continued to ask for it
year after year, I began to think that perhaps
I should pick it up again. But when God specifically spoke to me about it, I obeyed and
the DOZ True Story Magazine has returned
as a novel series named DOZ Chronicles with
four titles currently published and sold on
Amazon. And in September 2016, DOZ Regular Magazine returned as a digital magazine.
Today I understand that DOZ is my ministry.
Looking back now I can see exactly what God
did and how He gave me victory. When my
marriage failed I thought my ministry was
over, I could no longer hold Bible study and
prayer meetings as I had done in the past, I
could no longer speak in churches but God
gave me another medium for the messages
that He put inside of me and DOZ Magazine
was that medium. And with DOZ Magazine I
was able to reach a wider audience. So rather
than destroy my ministry, my divorce actually
birthed my ministry. That is the victory and
God alone made it possible.
HimPower Magazine: How has this
victory blessed your life?
Eturuvie Erebor: I have been blessed
by my victory in many ways. My ministry has
grown; through my writing I have been able
to touch lives in places I may never visit in my
lifetime. I have also become a better version
of myself.
HimPower Magazine: Would you say
your victory has changed your life?
Eturuvie Erebor: My victory has certainly changed my life. I have moved from a
mindset of it is over to a mindset of it is just
beginning and it is amazing how that mindset
has affected everything I do.
HimPower Magazine: If you had it to
do over again, what if anything, would you do
differently?
Eturuvie Erebor: If I had to do it over, I
would pay closer to attention to what God is
saying and if I miss Him at any point I will be
confident and rest in His ability to make it all
work together for my good and I will not beat
myself up as much as I did years ago.
HimPower Magazine: What advice do
you have for others who are going through a
similar challenge?
Eturuvie Erebor: My advice is this; if
you are going through a challenge similar to
mine, or even different, know that God is
bigger than that challenge and He can bring
you out. Ask for mercy where you have gone
astray and constantly express your confidence in His ability to make all things, even
