Those time, I even doubted and asked myself if I can ever get there but you see, in as much as i was scared and wasn't getting what I wanted. I saw beyond. There will be several times, when you feel all your efforts doesn't worth it. There are times when you feel you can't go beyond your little corner. There are times when you feel you can't make it or do not amount to anything There are times when something's feel so impossible and difficult but within all these, I want you to see beyond.   See beyond this present state of your life See beyond those toxic past, pains and tears See beyond those obstacles, struggle, etc See and learn from every experience because they are part of the process in making who you are. Don't make what you are passing through now hinder you from those vision and assignment God...

Episode 39 Ewa put on the light, after asking the question... "What are you doing here? Arinola asked trying to cover up the question she asked "Hmmm...Arinola, I know there's something you are hiding from me ever since you met with Banji. Arin, you know you can always talk to me" Ewa said "What kind of spirit is in this lady. Why is she mentioning that stupid guy name" Arinola was lost in thought as Ewa tapped her "Arinola.... The bible has made us understand in the book of Ephesians...."That the weapon for our battle isn't canal. You can't fight spiritual battle with a physical weapon" Ewa said  "Ewa...please don't start this morning. I have a spiritual father now and if there's anything I need to discuss. I will tell it to him and I can also come to meet you. Thank you" Arinola said as she went inside her room. Just as she entered the room, the thought of everything Banji did to her kept reflecting back to her. Sh...

It's past 9. What do you want from me? Arinola asked Banji who was sitting on the car bonnet. He didn't reply her instead, he stretched an envelope towards her "What's is this? She asked " Take it...that's the total amount of your school fees for this final year" Banji said as he stared at her "Wow, thank you. God bless you. I never kn...

Arinola asked as she looked at Funto and Ewa "Arinola did you pray before choosing your mentor or what did you see in him that made you submit under his guidance? Ewa asked "So, it's about this. I see.... why can't you both be happy for me. I needed someone to help me grow and I believe Pastor Theophilus is the right person for me" Arinola said "You have not answered the question yet. We are more than friends, we are sisters and I feel, if we see something that require urgent treats. We need to deal with it before, it gets worst" Funto said as Ewa nodded "So, Arinola tell us why you made Mr Theophilus your mentor? At least, you know our mentors and we have once talked about the reason why we choose to submit under their leadership. So, I believe telling yours shouldn't be a problem" Ewa said "Well, its personal. So, I...

She couldn't eat and sleep as she was totally lost in thought with different words running through her mind. "Oh God...what am I going to do? This is the secret of my life that no one knows about, even my so called friends. I have slept around with different rich guys to get money, just to pay for my school and also take care of myself. It all started when my first boyfriend Jide, disvirgined me. He said, I have to give myself in exchange of money and now, I am addicted to it and also use it as a means to collect money from guys and no one knows about it. God, please you just have to forgive me because I don't think I can leave the old ways and I don't think I can fully trust you. I trusted my father but he left me alone on earth with my mother that has little contribution to my life. I am all alone...

I am so tired, I need to rest" Ewa said "Not only you o my sister" Funto said as they turned back and realized Arinola was not with them. "Where did this lady go again.

"Brethren, there is no name greater than His name. Not even the name of your pastor nor sickness, etc. For God has given us a name above other name and the name is Jesus" Pastor John said as the back up singer kept singing solemnly. Arinola who was pressing her phone before, dropped her phone as she became interested in what the pastor was saying "Today, I will be teaching on " The Passion of Christ" Do you know how it feels when someone stole a huge amount of money and then, put the blame on another person and a knife was picked in front of the person who stole the money to cut one of the innocent person fingers. Even when the stealer was about to confess, the innocent man stylishly shut him/her and took the blame. That's the same way Christ did for us. He took all our sins in order to make us an...
