About the author Dr. Nia:
Unconventional, unorthodox, and unapologetically me when it comes to ministry.
She believes the Word of God as stated in Hebrews 13:8 “Jesus Christ is the same yesterday and today and forever.” However, she knows that the changes in society and time mean that we must change how we convey the Word of God to this new generation. Nia’s ministry is to the downtrodden, the outcasts, and to those the church has given up on. She has a strong love and compassion for these types of people; she understands that deep feeling of rejection all too well. At one point, it was her. Her mission is to engage millennials with uncommon practices in inistry— practices that actually appeal to them. She then equips them with the Word of the God and all the necessary armor that they need for today’s battles. Finally, she sends them forth, empowered that they may bring others into the Kingdom of God.

Prophetess Deborah Allen
Fierce
“It was a defining moment for me that I knew I had to fight to sustain my family. As a wife, mother, and woman of God I had to stand and be strong...” Deborah Allen is a fierce, dynamic, charismatic woman of strength. Deborah Allen has been ecstatically married to Bishop Glen Allen Sr. for over twenty-two years. She is the mother of six children. She currently serves as Senior Pastor of Lighthouse Apostolic Ministries of God Church for the last twenty years. Deborah Allen also holds the office of Executive Director of the nonprofit organization, L.A.M. Ministries Inc. This office of Executive Director was the door and instrument that brought her into the childcare field. Millionaire childcare coach, Deborah Allen, RMA, CDA is an entrepreneur at heart. She has successfully owned, operated, and was the director of Little Lights Childcare and Learning Center. This facility had operated for ten years and generated revenue of about 2 million in sales. Being propelled and shifted into a different area of the vision Deborah Allen was led to close the childcare center. This center closed a few years ago and she stepped into a revised and renewed vision. This woman is a woman of prayer, power, purpose, praise, and vision. Deborah Al-
len is a prophetess and a woman of godly wisdom. She is an exceptional speaker, teacher, and preacher. She has a great call upon her life and is anointed of God. In her hands she possesses the gift of healing. The next stage of her vision had been unveiled and we presented her book “Fierce” which was released in the summer of 2018. Fierce has become a movement in itself and has birthed the Fierce TV Show, Fierce Radio Network, Deborah Allen Ministries in January 2019 & LAM Ministries International ~ Ladies Advocating Ministries International. Her newest addition to this vision is Visionary Consulting Group LLC in March 2019. Deborah Allen has also become a member of The BOSS Network and is a BOSS Influencer. We are truly excited for every door of opportunity. I’m Prophetess Deborah Allen and I’m a woman Pastor & Entrepreneur. I wrote my first book “Fierce” during the greatest battle of my life. It was birth by fire through my very existence. This book came forth during a time of great tribulation and testUntold Chronicles | 15
ing of my faith. Fierce was penned doing the time right after my husband was diagnosed with stage IV chronic lymphocytic cancer. At that time we had been married for 19 years and had 6 children. In December 2016 my husband, Bishop Glen Allen Sr., was hospitalized with back pain and abnormal x-ray and possible infection. Needless to say we learned he had stage IV cancer and it had been growing inside his body for about 7 years undetected. “Fierce” was written while dealing with the restructuring of ministry, children, work and many other things. I felt compelled to come forth and be a strength and guidance to my family. This was a miraculous time for us. God instructed me as a woman of God to lay hands upon my husband, Bishop Allen, and pray for him. God had put the gift of healing in my hands, even as a youth. God has sustained my husband and prayer has kept him! This is the season for God’s people to walk fiercely in him. It was a defining moment for me that I knew I had to fight to sustain my family. As a wife, mother, and woman of God I had to stand and be strong and lead my family and ministry forward. I wrote “Fierce” to encourage and strengthen people to hold on and be strong. I wanted someone to know that no matter what you go through you can come through it. This book is a testimony of the victory that God brings into our lives. Fierce is the ability to be strong and hold on to God. I believe it’s important for others to see us go through great hardships and we be strong, remain and Untold Chronicles | 16
push through the things that can break us. Through the process of time God has touched my husband body. God has sustained him, us, and brought us forth. He hasn’t had to do any chemo or radiation. God’s hands has stopped the advancement of the cancer and given us favor. They now have a new medication that they allowed him to have that would extract the leukemia from his bones. This medication is extremely expensive and over $100,000 a year. God allowed him to be part of a special program at Siteman Cancer Center that covers this new medication. God has granted favor and done the impossible. “Fierce” was written as the spirit of God moved upon me. God’s healing virtue and prophetic anointing is in this book. God has allowed me to come from behind the scene and step forward to be the woman of strength, purpose and power he destined me to be. This is the divine season of manifestation and vision. God has revised the vision and breathed new life into the ministry! I’m a woman that has survived & I’m strong because of it. God has blessed me to be a warrior and soldier for him. I’ve been through molestation, an abusive first marriage, battered wife, teenage mother and countless things yet God has birthed his purpose out of my life for his divine glory! As a leader I want people to know that you can live, grow, and build despite your life circumstances! Jesus is able to heal, deliver, and sustain us doing every season of our lives & we are FIERCE in him. My book is a testimony of strength, endurance and encouragement through the Lord.

Everything is Not for Everyone By: Gerald B. Colson It has been a while since my last article. Since then a lot of things have happened good and no so good but to God be the Glory I’m still here. When I begin this Journey On The Road to Success I said I would chronicle my mistakes as well as my successes. I believe success is not just something that just happens to you but it is more of the result of the decision you make. Some of the most successful people have fell or fallen short of their desired goals before they finally achieved them. The great Michael Jordan got put out the Playoffs before he was able to win several Championships. A mistake I have made in the last several months is not writing. The reason for writing my journey begin with the desire to help other as I helped myself. My desire is to be successful and to help others to be successful too. I want people to learn and grow with me. I don’t have all the answers but I’m willing to look for the solutions. Not only I am I will to look for the solution but I’m also willing to share them with others as well. I have been involved in a Network Marketing Business / MLM (Multi Level Marketing) for Health and Nutrition. I have been involved in a couple different ones before too but I have never had any success with them. So once again I’m involved in this MLM and I am still not seeing the level of success some others have achieved. Does that mean that this MLM does not work? NO! It works and I know this and that is what is so frustrating to me. So if I know it works but I’m not having success at it then that means I’m the problem and not the MLM. I come to discover something and I believe that it is an important discovery to me at least. Just because something is successful for someone else it does not mean it will be successful for you. You can work it do everything they tell you what worked for them and still not have it work for you. Everything is not for everyone. I was told don’t give up on it just keep trying to work it and it will work just don’t give up. This advise sounds great and the person or people telling you really believe it and I do too. The problem is that as some point you have to ask yourself an important question. Do I want to continue doing this or not? It is not a question of will it work but rather how long before it works. You can choose to continue something and hope one day you will reap the benefits or you can decide I would rather spend my time and energy doing something else. Everything in life you go through in has a reason. Life will teach us many lessons but it is fully on us to learn them and use them. I know with me and this MLM I really took the time to understand what it really was and how it really works. The lesson for me was and is how do I leverage the power of a MLM system to my benefit and the Lord showed me a plan but I still have to execute it. Take the time to discover the lessons life is trying to teach you and take the necessary steps to learn and grow from them. Stay Encouraged & Be Blessed I’ll See You On The Road to Success.

Everything flows out of an intimate relationship with Me. It is not about performance, but simply surrender and obedience. The Lord is reminding me of a prophetic song He gave me many years ago: Nothing can satisfy, but My love. Nothing can satisfy, but My love. Though you search in vain, not a thing will you gain outside of My love, outside of My love.
Scriptures to keep in mind Isaiah 45:3 The Voice I will give you hidden treasures and wealth tucked away in secret places; I will reveal them to you.
