As I scrolled through Instagram one day, I came across a worship team with the word oasis in its name. I felt the prompting of the Lord to look up the meaning of the word. In my research, I found that oasis can mean several things; one, a fertile or green area in an arid region (such as a desert) or two, something that provides refuge or relief. For some time after that day, I continued to see the same word oasis everywhere I went. I was so surprised that I was repeatedly seeing the same word over and over that I began to document it by storing pictures of it on my phone. Around this same time, I had been fasting and praying and seeking the Lord specifically about wisdom and knowledge about my kingdom purpose, about ministry and about what the Lord had called me to do. It occurred to me that in my circle of friends, all of them were Christian entrepreneurs and had already received their instruction from the Lord about their purpose. I felt that the Lord had been preparing me all along to begin to walk in my purpose as well. At that moment I realized that God was giving me an idea for ministry. I began to press in more to the Lord, asking Him about the details about my ministry. I had in my heart two names for this ministry. As the time passed, the Lord confirmed for me the name…Kingdom Oasis Ministries. I believe the Lord was intentional in creating the name in the plural tense as this ministry was not going to focus on one specific area, rather, multiple areas of healing.


How Kingdom Oasis Ministries Was



The Kingdom Oasis Ministries was born out of my own personal walk with the Lord; the hardships, the pain, the frustration and at times… the desperation. But primarily, the ministry is about healing, the deep inner healing and deliverance that would eventually transform my heart and ultimately change my life. The Lord made me understand that much of my healing resulted from being in the "desert". During those most difficult times, especially learning how to wait for my physical healing, I found my peace in the Prince of Peace. I found my comfort in the Comforter, and I found my refuge under the wings of Almighty God. All the while I was in the desert place, the Lord was refining me, stretching me, and healing me in the deepest places of my being. Jesus became my oasis. I realized that all of my suffering had not been in vain, that there is purpose in the pain and that this whole process was so that I would be able to minister to others. I am learning that God is the only One that creates springs of water in the midst of a dry land. Jesus is the well from which we draw living water to quench our thirst. Jesus is our oasis in the most difficult seasons of our lives. Psalms 107:35 tells us, “But he also can turn a barren wilderness into an oasis with water! He can make springs flow into desert lands”.
