*BUKOLA'S STORY*


I never knew my life can change after an encounter with Him. I argued with my friends in the past and warned them about Him. I made them know, i wasn't ready to go down that lane but after an encounter with Him, I realized it wasn't about me.


He was waiting patiently for me, while I was busy running away from the truth. Yes, the truth...my friends kept reminding me about Him and deeply within me, I needed Him but I wasn't ready to go down the lane. 


I wanted to enjoy myself and my life alone before accepting Him. I also thought I was going to be caged into some kind of lifestyle and I wasn't ready for that. I still wanted to enjoy myself but I was running away from so many things and I needed His help.


My encounter started the day I followed my friends to the weekly service after much persuasion from them. I wanted to satisfy their desire and I followed them but that day was a turn around era for my life. The pastor kept saying everything about my life, I was surprised and touched as tears were rolling down from my eyes. 


I couldn't tell my friends what was going on with me because those were the part of my life that i hid from  them and I was haunted by it. How could he say such a thing was all I thought about as we were going home. My friends kept asking me what was wrong but I couldn't reply them.


For a week, I wasn't myself I wanted to know more about Him. I was marvelled and wondered how much more about myself will He not reveal to me personally, if I gave my life to Him. I went to meet my friends and they were glad as they prayed for me. That night I accepted Him into my life. 


Just an encounter by His words through the man of God changed it all. Ever since then, I desired to know more about Him and He has been helping me. Also, I got to realize I have being running away from the one who is able to save me.


Hmmm, we still have lot of sisters like Bukola today.

You keeping running away yet, the burden, past, challenges, pains, tears, etc seems unbearable for you. 


Sometimes, you think you might not see the next day. Yet people have been coming to tell about Him (God) who is able to save and draw you out of that pit. Yet you keep pushing them away by ignoring their words and deeply within you, you know you need His help.


You keep thinking about the things you love and you are worried about leaving them to follow Him.

You can't leave that lifestyle, habits, etc of yours yet, you desire to follow Him.


Everyday you think and pray for a miracle. Yet, you are hearing about the Father of miracle and you think it's not yet time to follow Him.


I want you to know, it's high time you stop worrying about those things pulling you back. Those things that is depriving you of Joy and follow Him today. He is waiting for you.


To every Bukola, what you need most is an encounter. Sincerely desire an encounter and pray to Him. He is waiting for you.


God bless you!

DON'T BE FRUSTRATED

Many at times, you don't look like what you are going through  Because you have tried the mastery skills of hiding and managing situations and have gotten used to it  Many at times, you wonder why people who has done the worst things ever, still get more favour than you doing the right thing  Many at times, Guys has played you even the believers and you kept wondering if the fault is from you because you are not just getting it right in relationships  Sometimes, you always try to understand the situation but the truth is, you are tired of it and most time you find it hard to let go and forget the situation. Sometimes, you just want to follow the crowd but you realize in between that you got lost and can't just proceed with the plan.. I know things can be difficult  I know many people or various things are frustrating  I know it's not easy living in circles with no progression I know you have plans but it just doesn't go the right way  So dear sisters, ...

THE JOURNEY

Last 2 year, I started a journey on my health and I'm grateful. Even though I wasn't consistent especially after the coaching session but I had to strive to ensure the journey continues even though I fall, I still get myself back  Imagine being a lover of heels and you can't wear it for too long Having to sweat profusely, Having knee ache pains, Sewing new dresses because you can't wear your favorite dress Imagine lot's more because of weight gain, That was me.. Before you go further and think it's only food that cause weight gain.  Mine wasn't, I could say it was stay at home, free hands and no stress kind of reason (I don't know how best to put it) I know I'm not a slim person but I was already weighing 110kg. Lolz, 2 bags of cement. Then I told myself Temilade, it has to change  I found the solution DIET, It was at the point where I realized I couldn't be myself and also seeing changes, I decided to take my health serious  I subscribed to a di...

A DAILY REMINDER

I know you are going through all shades of different phase, I know you are thinking of what next, I know the hardship is tough and you feel your strength is failing but, This is a reminder To relax, To not get angry over small things, To stay calm. A daily reminder To be yourself, To not care what people think, To know you can be anything. To love yourself, To not hurt yourself, To not work yourself up. This is a daily reminder That you are beautiful, That you can be hardworking  That you are amazing, That you will succeed. To always have hope, To have faith, To know everything will be okay. A daily reminder That you have made it so far already, That you haven't given up, And you are going to be amazing. Don't give up. Keep holding on and believing.  It's a start of a new year and it's too early to feel pressured or insecure God cannot fail you, Be persist in that Job hunt Be persist in trusting God  Be expectant, don't loose guard  Everything will fall in place...
