Celebrating 2 Years In Ministry, Celebrating Greatness

Today marks 2 years since I followed the path of God for my life and came into ministry. I came to the city of Ado-Ekiti in 2014, I came as a woman struggling to understand the sense of purpose or what God will have me do. Then I found myself in New Reality Christian Centre,  suddenly things began to change for me,  I began to know things about myself and what God would have me do and that was scary for me. I struggled with accepting all that God will have me do because I saw myself as incapable and most especially I saw the plans He had for me as a stray away from my dreams.  I was so wrong..

Fast forward... Few months after coming to Ado-Ekiti,  precisely March 2015 I realized God would have me submit to My now spiritual parents Pst Jide and Pst Funmi Ojo... I  did as instructed even though I never knew that would be the beginning of the greatest journey of my life.  All I knew was the pieces of my life's puzzle began to fall into place... I  heard instructions that was termed inconvenient and unrealistic yet they turned out to be the best decisions I have made in my life.

Fast forward again.... October 2015 I thought it was time to leave the city and God told me to stay.... But stay and do what  now.... We are talking of Ado-Ekiti not Lagos, Abuja, Ibadan or what we term as close to the American dream.. It was Ado... A lot was at stake or so I thought.

Before I fast forward again and again... I must tell you that from that March to October I had become so much of a better woman than I had ever imagined... I gave myself to pastoring and mentoring.  I became inconvenient with the status quo,  thank God for leading my path to that of my spiritual parents,  I saw things in their lives that I wanted to emulate,  I saw a grace that I needed to partake of and just by submission these things began to flow in my life. Before I met them I had just one spiritual book.. I mean just one... I can boast of being able to start up a small library now  and I am not even there yet.... Not to talk of the uncountable spiritual gifts by laying on of hands...

Ok so let's fast forward again and again to November 26th 2015 after going through Zoe Bible Institute I was ordained into ministry,  I wasn't ordained because I went to bible school, I was ordained because God called me and more importantly I was convinced(not coerced) to be a part and serve the vision of New Reality Christian Centre. This is purpose for me...

Now I  am here two years down the line and I have moved with so much speed and I have only just started.... What have I learnt?

1. I have learnt that when God wants to move a man forward He sends him a Man.. In my case He sent me Men in the persons of my spiritual parents that launched me forward into destiny.
 2. I have learnt that when God gives you a purpose, he gives you an opportunity to serve.
 3. I have learnt that if you can't serve a vision,  you don’t have a right to lead it.
 4. I have learnt that service does not reduce you rather it opens doors.
 5. I have learnt that ministry is more than teaching and preaching, it's about serving God and man.
 6. I have learnt the practicality of faith from my spiritual parents... One of the greatest lessons  I have learnt.
 7. I have learnt that ministry is about sacrifice.
 8. I have learnt not to joke with faith, divine guidance and prayer.
 9. I have learnt that some things will flow to you not  because you read or pray hard but because you serve the grace God puts before you.
10. Finally I have learnt to never get comfortable with being average, never to settle for less because I am not a mere man..

Thank God for who I am today and where I am today.  Thanks to my spiritual parents for nurturing me to this level and more to come.  They taught me what love is...

The truth is, there are so many lessons I have learnt in the past 2 years that  cannot be captured in words rather in the story and evidences in my life and I have only just erupted... Watch out for me!!!
