Dr. Barbara Gillliam-Professor and Dean of Students
WELCOME STUDENTS & VERY BLESSED 2022!
My name is Dr. Barbara Gilliam and I have the privilege and joy of serving as a professor for Word of God International University and Haven University. I am also currently serving as your dean of students.
God has amazing truths and lessons to give you that will help to equip you to complete his purpose for your life. More than ever before, you need to be prepared to preach the word, counsel, and disciple those who are searching for hope.
The spiritual battle is meant to frighten you and the church, and keep Christians fragmented, isolated and detached from the real issue of proclaiming the good news of Jesus Christ and the salvation story! We are created to be in fellowship with one another and pray and encourage our brothers and sisters.
I have already begun to pray for you and will continue throughout you educational journey with us.
Please feel free to contact me for questions, concerns or prayer.
Because He lives,
Dr. Barbara L. Gilliam

Meeting You Where You Are?
Daily Bible Verse & Prayer
Today's Verse - Matthew 1:20-21
But after he had considered this, an angel of the Lord appeared to him in a dream and said, "Joseph son of David, do not be afraid to take Mary home as your wife, because what is conceived in her is from the Holy Spirit. She will give birth to a son, and you are to give him the name Jesus, because he will save his people from their sins."
Thoughts on Today's Verse...
Jesus. Yeshua. Joshua of the spiritual world. Mary's boy, God's Son, comes to help us tear down the strongholds Satan has built in our lives. He comes to bring peace to our troubled spirits and joy to our nights of despair. He comes not only to minister to us and bless us, he comes to do what no one else could do: he comes to deliver us from our sins - our spiritual blemishes, neglects, rebellions, mistakes, transgressions, and failures. Praise God! A deliverer who actually conquered what we could not defeat to make us what we are not - pure, perfect, and holy children of God, like him (Colossians 1:22, 28-29).
My Prayer...
Thank you, Father, for your forgiveness, cleansing, and transformation given to me by Jesus and the gift of the Holy Spirit that the Son poured out on me to cleanse me and make me holy.* In Christ's name I pray. Amen.

Today's Verse - Matthew 1:20

Thoughts on Today's Verse...
Reassurance beyond understanding!
That's the beginning of the Christ story for Joseph: like with Mary and the angel at the annunciation, God's reassurance of things beyond human understanding was what Joseph received in this glorious visitation! What he could not understand and what he had no part in creating will now be the groundbreaking journey of his own faithful and generous heart. He was to be the human daddy to the Savior of the world and the Messiah of Israel. He would live the rest of his life knowing that a miracle happened with Mary without his input or involvement. As a righteous and kind man, he would bear the disgrace of the world's misunderstanding about the conception of their child. His faith and God's use of him in this story should awaken each of us to the incredible possibilities that God may have in store for us. Why not use this December to re-awaken your heart to the Holy One, born Jesus of Nazareth, and let's ask God to bless us through Jesus with reassurance beyond our human understanding!
My Prayer...
Father, I have long admired Joseph for his trust in you - a trust that helped him deal with what he could not understand. Now I come, with wild-eyed Joseph-like excitement and bewilderment, to be reminded again of the miracle of your Son and my Savior. Please make him real to me as I seek to know him better and bless me with reassurance beyond my limited human understanding! In Jesus' name and because of his miraculous conception and incarnation, I pray this. Amen.

Charm is deceptive, and beauty is fleeting; but a woman who fears the LORD is to be praised.
Thoughts on Today's Verse...
Want to find a really good woman? Look for one that honors and reveres the LORD with all of her heart, soul, mind, and strength and loves her neighbors as she loves herself (Matthew 22:36-40). Appearance, physical strength, and even personality can change and degrade. A woman whose heart is anchored and enlivened by the presence of God in her life will be a lifelong blessing to others and a woman worthy of our praise, and the praise of her Father in heaven!
My Prayer...
Father, once again, I want to thank you for the important women in my life who have helped shape my faith and guided me to you... (Please pray by name for godly women who have blessed you!)
Father, please help me to value godly women in ways that bless them, honor you, and build up your Church. In Jesus' name, I pray. Amen.
