Read a well inspired story directly from the holy spirit to help you or someone close to you.
EPISODE 1
That Sunday in church, the pastor quoted the book of John 1 vs 46 which says "can something good come out from Nazareth? Nathaniel asked". Then he faced me and asked me if something good can still come out from my life, after his question he told me to pull off the choir rope and join the congregation instead of going back to seat with the other choristers.
Why did my pastor do this?
On Tuesday, when i went to greet my best friend, Her mother shouted at me and told me not to inflict her daughter with the disease on me, so she sent me out of the house with broom.
Why did she behave like this ???
My parents were so ashamed to walk on the street, then it got to a time that my father sent me out of his house one sunny afternoon without thinking twice, he told me to pack my things to the house i got the diseaes from.
They warned me to be careful with guys, my friends spoke to me, my mother spoke to me, i attend youth fellowship every Sunday and our youth leaders will never stop talking about creating a good relationship with God and living a righteous life but all seems abortive and now I'm pregnant,they all rejected me. I went to kunle's house, his mother wasn't happy with me staying there but she had no choice, every blessed day she abuses me and my unborn child, i do the whole house chores, i sweep, wash clothes, wash plates, run errands while kunle sisters eat and sleep. It was so unbearable. My father even told my mother not to come check me.
They said pregnancy is a disease, do you think they are wrong? Actually they are right (talking from experience) pregnancy becomes a disease when it is had at the wrong time. I wasn't able to sit for WAEC, because i was pregnant, My father was not ready to sponsor my education because i dishonoured him. I am very sure that many of us are also facing such treatment today, Many have rejected us in our society because of our disobedience.
Are we supposed to be rejected or shown love??? Anyways, you can still correct that mistake. One night i had a second thought and promised my self that i will give my pastor a positive answer to the question he asked me that Sunday, i made up my mind that those who reject me will accept me.
It wasn't easy at all, after 9 months i gave birth to a very beautiful baby girl, she looks so much like her father who was learning a trade, fashion designing to be precise. It was so hard to eat 3 times a day, Kunle's mum was so cruel to me, within a year of staying there my mother visited me twice before i gave birth, then once after i gave birth which was the last day she came to check on me since my father threatened to divorce her if she visits me again. Then the worst happened when my child was three months old!!!!!!!
EPISODE 2
Kunle's mother sent me out of her house in the night, there was no place to stay, i slept outside a shop that night and the next day i was lucky to find a place, though i found a church,i begged the pastor and his wife to allow me stay there for the main time, after so much pleas, they allowed me.
The pastor and his wife were so nice, they gave me #5000 every month, though it wasn't enough for my child and I but thanks to other church members that gave me foodstuffs, money. A particular lady gave me gas and pot while another woman gave my daughter clothes and shoes. I lived in the church for good 6 months and was able to get a room apartment through the help of the church.
While i was living in the church i came back to God and rededicated my life to him, since he has never rejected me for once, i asked for his forgiveness and mercy because i know i have committed a very dangerous sin "Fornication" and he answered me. I was able to get a good job in a big Nylon producing company owned by a Chinese man and i was paid #20000 monthly, i saved #15000 every month and spent #5000 since i was used to it moreover, the church hasn't forgotten me. After a year, i registered for WAEC and made my papers, then my child was 2 years and she was home schooled.
Many guys at work wanted to date me, even my boss promised me heaven and earth if only i would be his side chick, but i declined their offer because i am a new being, a person of determination and because i declined i was sacked for no reasons (maybe it part of my punishment).
I left the house i was living and travelled to Lagos state in search for daily bread and luckily i found a place to work as a maid, i worked in a rich man's house. Moreover, i had a sum of #120000 left from my savings after spending a sum of #60000 on my WAEC, feeding, clothing, i also got a good android phone my new boss paid #10000 monthly, he's a nice man but his wife is harsh but i didn't care. My daughter grew well and she knew everything she was supposed to know at her age even though she was home schooled, she could add, subtract, multiply, divide and even read her alphabet. My boss wanted to enroll her on a private school but his wife was an obstacle, yet i did not give up on my child when she was 4 years old i was 21 years old. Saving was part of me already, so i had #210000 at hand as my savings, God really helped me but to be sincere it wasn't easy.
One day, my boss came to my room in the middle of the night around 3am to have sex with me again though this wasn't his first time of sneaking to my room but i never agreed but this time was different, his wife was not at home and he decided to rape me, but all thanks to God, i was able to hit his head with the empty bottle beside my bed, blood gushed out from his head and he ran out of my room, immediately he left i packed all my things and that of my child into my big traveling box, backed my sleeping angel and ran out of the house( i had a spare key of the main gate)...............
Where should i go?????
EPISODE 3
The money i had with me was a no go area for spending because i was saving for my education, there was no where to go to. When it was dawn, i roamed about, going from one street to another, one estate to another with my big traveling box and my daughter, i would have gone back to Ibadan where my parents live but i promised myself that i will go back home when i become successful, so i roamed around until i saw a board in front of a big house, my joy was immeasurable when i read that they needed a househelp, i was so happy, i knocked the gate and was attended to by a young man who told me to check back in the next two days because his boss wasn't around. Since he refused to let me in i stayed outside the house for 2 days, we (my child and I)ate there and slept there and did not bath for good 2days. Though the gate keeper sent me away but i came back dere to sleep.
When the owner of the house came i was allowed in, she is a woman in her early 60's, an educated person and a fashionista, i told her about the whole story of my life and how i was able to save over #100000, she was really surprised about my maturity, instead of treating me like a maid she took me in as her daughter and my daughter as her grand daughter, she told me about her children, her first child is a female who lives with her husband in the U.S and her son who was studying in U.S.
She sponsored me to study mass communication in the University of Lagos and enrolled my daughter to a private school, she treated me like her daughter and i treated her like my mother.After 5 years i was through with service year, i worked in her company, she had a studio and she was the CEO of a famous radio station then. To cut the story short, i fell in love with her son and after a year that he came back we got married.
Before the marriage, i took him to my parents at Ibadan, i went with oluwaferanmi, that was the first time i stepped into that house since i left. My parents were surprised and at the same time happy, my mum prepared a very delicious meal, we ate and talked, my siblings had grown big when i saw them then Bimpe was in year 3 at UI while Dami was in year 1 at OAU. We slept very late that day and left for Lagos the next day but before leaving we visited my pastor, he was happy to see me but i was happier, i gave him a sum of #50000 and my husband gave the church #100000 to answer the question he asked me that Sunday. I visited my friend, though she wasn't around but i met her mother who was also surprised to see the different me after 10years, i also gave her a token, i did not forget the kingdom church who helped me during my days of rejection. However, i did not hide the truth from my daughter, i told her everything about her birth, so i took my daughter to meet her father, kunle who at that time was a well known Unisex fashion designer in Ibadan, he was really happy to see her and he also told us how he searched for us, we talked to length, i invited him to my wedding ceremony he also told me about is fiancee, Ajoke. Then we decided that my daughter will visit him once in a while because it is an abomination to leave my daughter with him and about Kunle's mum, she died of Diabetes and High blood pressure.
My name is Oluwafunmilayo, i was rejected but now accepted, my story ended in joy because i did some certain things. I knew God wasn't happy with me because i did the wrong thing, I went back to him, asked for forgiveness,his mercy and grace and i rededicated my life to him. Secondly, i was determined not to go back to the sin that caused my Rejection, it wasn't easy for me, there are days i cried, lost hope and think my life is a waste of dust but i embraced courage and declined offers from men that wanted to destroy my life. The mercy of God and my determination helped me receive favour from Mrs Richard who changed my life for good.
Now, i am happily married to David Richard, Oluferanmi, my first daughter has grown big, almost through with her secondary school and my other two children, Ayomiposi and Olamiposi are doing well.
Learn from me
great work dear
