MY LIFE IS A TESTIMONY


It was just like yesterday, how far you’ve brought me Lord. It was like final year will never come, today here I am. So grateful Lord and I know you’ll see me through to the end gloriously.

If I shout it won’t be enough, if I dance it won’t be enough, eternity won’t be enough to say thank you for all you’ve done for me. My heart is so full of Joy, how you’ve made my life so beautiful...Smile

My Admission Story-

After staying home for almost 4years, after senior secondary, also battling with Jamb and Post- Ume (making the Jamb though but post-ume wahala). I secretly took Basic form and I made the entrance exam to run the program (a pre-degree program at University of Port-Harcourt), secretly because my elder brother hated the idea of pre-degree programs. With the advice and help from my friends, my elder brother also supported when I told him. The program went well, was tough also interesting. To cut long story short, I put in my best, sow seed, pray like I didn’t read and read like I didn’t pray, went for almost all church programs on campus, still I didn’t make the required mark to have the degree admission. I was so frustrated, was like the end of the road, I gave up.

Then, my pastor’s wife talked to me to try again. This time with certificate program, also a pre-degree program but under the faculty of Education. I yield to her advice, picked the form, wrote the entrance exam and made it by God’s grace to run the program. While running the program, I took another Jamb and made above 200, wrote Post-Ume, also made above 200...I was so happy.

I won’t forget this day in a hurry, my friend called that evening that my name is in admission merit list, I told him it’s a lie that his pulling my legs. Later went to check and I saw my name ...OH GOD! I ran, scream, cried, called everyone to break the news ‘Finally, I don get Admission...merit list oh..Na GodWin’.

I stopped the certificate program, went home and came the other year as a year one student of University of Port- Harcourt. Finally I wore matriculation gown and cap...Good God. The journey has just begun.

From 101, 202, 303, 400, finally it’s almost over. It can only be God

Am not just coming out with a BSC(ED), but also with a business school certificate, two makeup school certificates, also a school of disciple certificate from RCCG. With all these my God never let me come out badly in academics, am among the best in my department, my results are wonderful... God is a good God, I call Him Faithful.

I am what I am today by the Grace of God!

Just want to inspire someone with this story; don’t ever give up on yourself and God.

Hold God tight, have a personal relationship with Jesus, also as a student in any level start planning and working towards the future you’ve pictured.  Never under estimate the power of your association, watch out the kind of friends you keep.

 God Bless you.

FEAR AND WORRY,TIPS TO OVERCOME THEM.


Fear is false evidence appearing real .Fear torments, it reduces bold people to timid people, it’s a thief of destiny, fear makes you worry about the things that may never happen, and it’s a snare.Worry keeps you stuck on the problem; worry makes you think the present defines your life.

TIPS TO OVERCOME THESE TWO ROBBERS.
Worry- Accept that your life is more than the present, believe that whatever the outcome of anything , it will work together for your good.
Refuse to worry about tomorrow, instead of worrying, trust God that whatever your future holds He will enable you to handle.

Fear- DO IT AFRAID, do what you need to do even if you are afraid.Attempt whatever you are afraid of doing and fear will disappear.
Believe in yourself and build your faith in God.Stay away from negative people, change your belief system and think positive always.
Don’t wait for everything to be perfect. While you’re waiting , someone is learning from their mistake. DO IT NOW!
Never be afraid to try, just go for it.

 
Quotes- “Jump and build your wings on the way down “. Paul Martinelli
 “Believe in yourself and all that you are. Know that there is something in you greater than any obstacle”. Christian D. Carson
