Hi guys am utibeima you can as well call me uty, am a Nigerian and also a christian.
This christian journey or race started since i was born because my parents were christians and true ones. well so far so good the journey has been a bitter-sweet experience tho. Bitter -sweet in the sense that the fact that being a christian is not actually a bed of roses. In this session i will be talking on some of the experiences i have encountered while on this journey and i would like to start from the bitter to the sweet(negative to positive).
About five years ago it looked as if God never existed anymore or maybe He just didnt want to hear me or maybe he had forgotten me. Every single word of prayer i made wasnt being answered or maybe i didnt just realise that the prayers were answered and to crown it all i lost both parent in just a period of two years, yes i mean both after a long chain of sickness.
Then it looked as if God has finished with me because everything i carried, everything that made existence meaningful for me, all the castles i built scattered like dust. I became so frustrated and also as an only child but you know what in spite of all i came out sailing strong even when it looked like i wont be able to cope or survive the storms again.
Truly i lost my hope,my faith and nearly my praise, i was about giving up but a message struck me and brought me back on track and this was it BEYOND WHAT WORDS COULD EXPLAIN, HIS LOVE IS STILL IS STILL REAL AND MORE TOWARDS US,damn!it went right into me. I heard i could win and that i was one of the strongest people in the world because i survived, God has plans and reasons while everything went the way it was .
And this could just be the sweet part of my story, my survival, an encouragement to others , my success story coming soon even for the fact that am still breathing to see beautiful things each day, it means God is wonderful and He still watching over each and everyone of us. So i still go on my normal everyday life singing and serving my God.
