LONG OVERDUE TESTIMONY.
I have come to return all glory to God Almighty for a long overdue testimony.
God has indeed proved His faithfulness of keeping a track record of His promises and words. I secondly wish to appreciate all the prayers made in RGA which has been a grooming ground for me. Special appreciation to our Darling Mama whom God has been using in marvellous ways.
The story of my PhD journey came with twist and turns. Kai…I had to make noise about this God o…
The same me that got suicidal on this matter, which I overcame, thanks to encouragement and prayers from Mama Dawn. I remember one of the morning prayer meetings she particularly mentioned my case. There was a battle to see me get rusticated and Mama mentioned it. God raised helpers on my behalf. The person who tried to make my life miserable suddenly resigned in the course of the battle. God replaced her with my helper — a kind loving and warm-hearted woman who took up my case together with the Deputy Vice Chancellor. These two women stood their ground on my behalf and I was given a chance to wrap up my study.
Then came delay during the COVID era. The delay of undergoing examination of the completed studies took another toll in my life. I realise now that the delay was God’s plan to fulfil the vision and dream He had shown me in 2019, while I was still hoping that I would be given a chance to complete the studies. God delayed this graduation to take place only when my university returned to physical graduation this July, so that dream in 2019 would become a reality.
2019 was a dark time for me, I had lost all hope to continue, but the dream persisted.
And so right before my very eyes, this dream became a reality on the 18th of July 2022. Three years after😭😭😭😭.
The dream was about me walking down the podium to be conferred a doctorate degree. The reality at that time never looked like it.
The greatest lesson ever is to discern God’s timing for a breakthrough in every season of life.
Thanks darling Mama for all the love, prayers and support and to all amazing sisters for keeping the fire altar burning.
God is here…
God is real…
To God be the Glory 🙇♀️
