Today, we will be discussing about FAITH AND LEADERSHIP: Life changing encounter with Jesus, Mentorship and purpose

TO THE INTERVIEW:

CAN YOU TELL US WHAT GROWING UP WAS LIKE FOR YOU

Ans: My growing up was kind of rosy at the start and later on tough and then easy and just like that. Our movements was restricted to home, church, school and back to home, we weren't permitted to go out except as family. We were always indoors and my parents made it in such a way that we wouldn't want to go out, by stocking us with movies and music’s, secular and gospel alike.

We would practice what we watch and literally we could sing and dance of the secular music’s during those times even until I got born again. Yeah, old-school, reggae, lucky Dubae, Bob Marley, black American, Celine Dion, Rick Ross, Beyonce, Chris Brown, Westlife....We were so indoctrinated by these entertainment that it literally became part of us.

My mom most times will get so upset and want to discipline us. We will play hide and seek with her and she'll get tired of scolding and all that. We had no joy going to church apart from just obeying mum. My mum was so at it about our relationship with God and all that. But we didn't see any interesting thing about it.

I only had time to be in church during praise and offering time and when there's any national girls or children's day cause I'll appear in the sword drilling and bible quiz competition, and will go home with the prizes, year in, year-out. There was nothing that was done that interested me about God. Yeah , I didn't know what to believe. Nothing was ever real than movies and music’s.

At one point in my life, prophecies was coming about me being the light that will light up my home and all that, it didn't make sense. But I'm seeing it now.

In secondary school it was all timidity and just alone with myself. But will always have friends around cause of my voice and always singing secular songs.

Fast forward, wrote WAEC, mum was ill, so so ill, that I had to spend months with her in hospital and prayed homes. Wrote jamb and Post UTME in UNICAL twice to study law but wasn't given admission, in fact one time my Dad was told about paying for my admission that my result wouldn't do much. Still nothing was done about it. I was depressed. I lost my mum when I was 17 years and I was always at home as my other siblings would be in school and my Dad at work.

I was always reading novels and watching American movies but it didn't solve my problem, I wasn't in school and my friends were. It was killing me everyday. So I began going to church and praying to God but no true understanding of what was happening to me. I wrote down my requests and what I would do if God gives me admission and all that.

I got to know about Evangel university by my family friend Gospel and he showed it to me. Infact it was at the back of our Teens Sunday school manual I didn't even know. He inquired about it and I told my Dad I would I would go for it. My Dad was considering the distance and how that we're still very young to embark such distant journey by ourselves. He was so attached to me that I remembered him saying that morning," chai! God! My shadow is about leaving me..." I was like, I'll be fine.

I got to Evangel university because I told myself that I would come and encounter the God of AG face to face as it was the headquarter. That was what brought me there and prior to that time like 2weeks to , I came in contact with young christian teenagers who loved the lord and went about preaching the gospel in all the communities in my L.G.A so I was very much interested in what that were doing that I began going with them but was unable to do anything. I remembered beginning to pray alone and to be baptized with God's spirit. Then I left for school.

God had me in mind all the while. So I got to EUA and I was all busy with school activities no serious time for God as it was difficult to pray and to read and understand God's word. I got tired and was just like that. Not really doing anything strange as others were doing in school, I had this fear that if I try doing any of those things God spoke against I was not going to experience second chance and that I would just die. So I didn't dabble into them.

I had my family friend Gospel always with me and his friends. I was the only girl among 7boys... Smiles... When we go to the cafeteria we make use of 2 tables and join them together to eat and all that..The whole school knew about us. I think that was where I got spotted out by my discipler, Papa S(Samuel Benjamin Chimaobi). He developed strange interest in me that I thought it was ungodly and all that, but I was trapped . Yeah, he interrupted my strange life of no nonsense with guys and all that tough nature of mine with his calls and text messages.

My journey to finding God began with Papa S, on a conference call with my roommate, Ogechukwu Nwachukwu. Yeah, I had had some information about him by my roommates but, wo! It wasn't my concern. But that guy was deliberate about handing me over to Jesus from those guys I was always with. So, he will call morning, day, evening and night and send text messages asking me to read this passage and that passage not minding whether I understand it or not. Friends, me , I pitied him because I wasn't interested in what he was wanting out of me, plus nothing was breaking out of it to me. I just pitied him and decided to be following through with what he was asking me to do. It was in my playing along that I was trapped by God. The truth of the matter was that, that guy was making effort in prayers over me, I began to take him seriously when he sent a letter to me through my roommate. When I opened it, I was broken, I melted within me. A letter written by 2:46am till about early hours of the morning in prayers and step by step means of getting my relationship with God to be on a real terms. Kai! I saw his heart desire that he wanted my well-being and that he desired that I be saved and made whole to discover my purpose.

I took the letter and went on practicing everything written in it. This was about my early 300level. My life changed. We would go for vigils and Bible study with others and just like that, we went for church planting in the neighboring village around us and I was asked to preach during evangelism. It was during Christmas period and the weather condition was so cold he had me covered with his blanket after preaching I was sweating profusely and everyone was like wow, Eunice!!! It's a journey and the one I cherished.

WHAT HAS BEEN THE MOST PROFOUND OR INSPIRING EXPERIENCE OF YOUR CHRISTIAN JOURNEY?

Ans: One of the experience I've had that is inspiring in my journey of faith is the understanding that God though; He most times come to us through yielded vessels, can actually also do without them. Why this? The experience of having to meet with my discipler on a subject very confusing at that time but poses himself to be unavailable that it got me worried and all worked out. I can remember I was going to meet with him but I wasn't able to reach out to him through phone and at our usual meeting place when he was the one that planned it. I felt bad and I was communicating within me. I got a response from within me saying, “the rain doesn't not come from man but of God". I quickly got the understanding thereof.

Yes, he's been a ladder to me in my journey but he's not the founder of the journey. God is. And at any point in time He decides to take over from human vessels, He will do it with or without us. He was human and could have been busy, but God was there able not busy. Signifying the limitations in man and the unhindered extravagant expression of God's presence ready always to attend to us.

This singular experience brought a shift in my journey with God. Things I could naturally just call papa S for, I'll reach out to God first about it and later on just let my discipler know of it. It build my connection and dependency on God not despising the role of my discipler but having that light that it all flows from God and that we're just vessels in God's plan. This has kept me so much that whether my discipler is present or unavailable, I have an unbridled connection with God that I'll ever value all the days of my life.

HOW HAS YOUR FAITH IMPACTED THE RELATIONSHIPS IN YOUR LIFE?

Ans: My journey to finding God and embracing Him was borne out of love for young lives to be guided alright and find light in a dark world. This was evident in the life of my discipler and how he reached out to me out of love to bring me to the light of God's love for me.

There were times I thought he had some sort of evil intentions towards me that I was watching to see him get to reveal his true nature as other guys would in the long run. But it was all genuine and pure to the least of the matters of life. He would call and send messages. He would get food from the cafeteria and make sure I eat even I was claiming to be okay. He would force some amount of money in my hands and asked that I say nothing. He was a friend, and a father in one piece. This made me naturally love all that comes my way, especially the young folks of age 11-20.

I began to speak to young people and to develop interest in their well-being. I would make photocopy of the Bible plan in a year and share to young people. I would visit and encourage young people to be in church and even give offering to them in their homes. We would pray together and tell of our experiences in all matters. I share my experiences and hide nothing that will be of great impact to these lives and still I'm in this business as the Lord has given it unto me in teaching, guiding and praying with these ones.

God has raised young christian boys and girls into young youthful ladies and gentlemen and are following God as He leads them.

WHEN I MET YOU, YOU WERE IN YOUR FINAL YEAR AND YOU WERE ON A 1YEAR FASTING AND PRAYER. FIRST I CELEBRATE YOUR GRACE, SECONDLY WHAT WERE YOU THINKING? WHAT WAS THE DRIVE? HOW WERE YOU ABLE TO BALANCE EVERYTHING WITH SCHOOL WORK?

Ans: Rebirth, it rubbed off on me from papa S. I remember, he was on a year fast also and of all he has contact with as disciples, he was always reaching out to me and would ask I see him to certain places of meditation and prayer. I was always wondering what he was thinking to go on such journey especially in school. I wasn't looking at the physical changes that was evident all over him, I had my eyes fixed on what would become of him as the day and month went by. The guy was no normal human being. He had his being in God. Because who would go on such journey in school and still be normal? He was very strange that I didn't want to stay away from him. I dey learn from am daily. I made the decision to go on this same journey knowing that in myself I wasn't able to. I wanted to experience God's strength to do the things I couldn't do and to fulfill purpose. I started the fast unknown to him and somehow he got to know when I couldn't say no to his questions. He was happy and at the same time feeling for me. But told him not to and that I didn't feel for him when he was on his.

I experienced God is no small way. It was a daily journey of 366 days the year, 2017. This experience is my main stay in faith and beyond. It made me know God for myself and I didn't want to know what anyone would think. I placed every individual where they should be and always gave God His place in all matters. This has given me a very quiet and peaceful life. I always have God to reach out to in all matters of life.

This was something that I've never done infact, I wasn't able to fast all my life till when I got to Evangel University. I experienced the strength of God and it made me find confidence in the fact that I'm not fragile like my family always saw me to be any longer. There was nothing that wanted happening in my family or with my friends that God didn't first revealed it to me and I would intercede over them all and God has proven himself to be the one who answers prayers.

The drive was to be more like Christ and to receive that which is expedient to meet the demands of God over my life and the destinies tied to my being.

CAN YOU SHARE A MEMORABLE MOMENT FROM YOUR TIME IN SCHOOL OR TRAINING THAT STILL MAKES YOU LAUGH TODAY?

Ans: The day someone asked me, "why is it that we can't talk about anything without you including God or reminding someone of what God says concerning it?"

Another day on campus that I was tagged,"Cover your laps" the whole campus wouldn't stop saying it to me. In fact, I was taken pictures and this quote was the write up. I had to stay indoors for some days but then, I told myself I wasn't standing for a lie, so why should I be afraid. The notation was that, everyone have their lives to live and that they do with or without anyone's opinion and that I wasn't supposed to comment that on her FB wall. But the truth is that, everyone wants to be celebrated publicly but never to be rebuked publicly.

Smiles, I didn't have to do that, but I did because she had surrendered for fellowship. But it wasn't funny with me as it was my early days of coming to know God. The reactions I had from people on campus was enough to make someone commit suicide. Yeah, it was that bad.

Or Is it the day that my roommates decided that they'll lock me inside the room until I receive the baptism of the holy spirit... In my mind, na so them dey receive holy spirit baptism? These pastor's children were serious o... They didn't talk to me again until Pentecost Sunday. They challenged me but not this way na...

Get Levites as roommates you no want hear. Attend Evangel university, you say "no" EUA is a goal…

AS A YOUNG TEEN LEAD, HOW DO YOU HANDLE THE RESPONSIBILITIES AND PRESSURES THAT COMES WITH THE ROLE?

Ans: My first line of action has always been me being so compassionate and passionate toward the young people I lead. It has always been me seeing into the future before it happens and it causes me to take it to God in prayers.

Cause even though I have a glimpse as to what may likely befall these ones, I can't possibly be there at all times to navigate them through it; so I engage in prayers making mention of their names as it comes and I ask that God will love them and guide them. My way around the challenges that comes with this responsibility is that of love first. If I don't love you I won't take it upon myself to see to your well-being.

I remember one time I had a young teen boy always coming home to spend time with me and I'm like what will I do with this one now? His presence was something else. At another time he would be all furious and I'm like how do I reach out to this guy. I was praying for him o, but he was just so burdened by maltreatment from home that I didn't want believe that's all about him. I was confused as to how to penetrate him. So heard the holy spirit asking me, "Do you love him?" I was like, "Yes, I do." The line of communication was, " then go for him"... I was like wow... Truth be told, if I come for you ehh, you'll never be the same. You won't get out of my radar anytime soon. I knew he was in for me.

I began engaging him in conversation and ask him to do certain spiritual exercise with me and he's was following through, we would eat together and like that... Boom! He was aligning and till today he's doing well by God's grace. I love them and go after them. The resources was majorly what my parents made provision for in the house, my Dad didn't also have problem with it. He was a great support to me. Other times it will be my little resources.

The times of misunderstanding and tough times at their homes was a challenge to me too. Parents feel you want to take over their children that they start restricting them. But God was always revealing himself as they'll just have some challenge with the child and they'll reach out to me and be like please call son or your daughter and talk to them like you do because I don't understand what's happening again. I'll just smile like this ehh... And I'll be like oya ask him or her to come to the house. You'll literally hear them say go and meet your mother o...It gives me Joy ooh. Because when there's no barrier from the parents angle, these young people will always come around and would share everything thing with you plus they build such a strong trust and confidence you that you must pray daily that you meet up their demands.

WHAT STRATEGIES DID YOU USE TO BUILD TRUST AND CREDIBILITY WITH YOUR MEMBERS?

Ans: The strategy was that of love and transparency. Open communication on all things and anything brought up. Sharing my life experiences and not leaving out any aspect.

1Thessalonians 2:7: But we were gentle among you, even as a nurse cherisheth her children: Vs. 2:8 So being affectionately desirous of you, we were willing to have imparted unto you, not the gospel of God only, but also our own souls, because ye were dear unto us.

Vs. 2:11 As ye know how we exhorted and comforted and charged every one of you, as a as a father does his own children.

This has been my strategy

There's this version that puts it well...

1Tessalonian 2: 7-11: But we were gentle among you, just as a nursing mother cherishes her own children.

So, affectionately longing for you, we were well pleased to impart to you not only the gospel of God, but also our own lives , because you had become dear to us.

As you know how we exhorted, and comforted, and charged every one of you, as a father does his own children.

WHAT WERE SOME OF THE CHALLENGES YOU FACED, AND HOW DID YOU OVERCOME THEM?

Family cares
Young folks cares
Having to deal with young men clamoring for an engine room and not a wife first.

In the hierarchy of the family, I'm the third born, but spiritually and otherwise now, I'm the first. My whole family literally depends on my decision on all matters. I get overwhelmed most times that I scream to myself and get back to God, because daily the weight of it all is able to drain me of strength and unable to do anything for myself. So I tell it to God as it comes and truly just express myself the way I feel about it all. Worship and prayers has been my escape and relief route.

The young folks are my second area of great concern. It's a burden to me when I see young boys and girls being misled and are already regretting but no one to reach out to. The ones that have become sex tools in exchange for money at a very tender age unknown to their parents. The Levites, pastor's children being drowned in darkness of unholy deeds and in pains of being abused by family and the church in most cases. I walk the streets and I see through their facial expressions to what they go through on daily basis. I engage in conversation with these set of young people and my heart bleeds. I sincerely pray that God can help me house them and truly nurse them. In prayers I ask that God should bring to those junctions where they're mostly confused on what to do and are likely to be swept of their feet in the knowledge of truth so that I can give direction, redirection and the right knowledge about the truth they want to and need to know.

Psalms 32:8 has always been my heartfelt prayer for these ones when I can't seem to express myself.

When I can't seem no to reach out in my own strength, go all out to God, their Creator to reach out to them.

The institution marriage was designed by God. This institution can only thrive on the foundation of love first and then sacrifice.

Sacrifice is actually the product of love. But sacrifice can be done selfishly and when it's selfish then it's not love. No one should first take a step of going into marriage in the foundation of work. Yes, I know it's work, sacrifice and the likes, but it's love and submission before ministry and the likes. Because the way some persons are understanding this marriage things ehh, it's like , as I come for you, it's for you to start fasting and prayer all your life. So it's not the issue of love but work. So the day I don't work then I'm not fit. Or it will be quarreling and giving names.

The issue of not wanting to build friendship, passion, purpose, and love is what I don't desire for anyone. When it's just for what you're to do, then it's not marriage. To fit in something is to complement something and to do that you must decide to love if you must complement someone or something. I can't work if I don't love. Loving someone brings all the virtues needed to make work easy in marriage. To love is to be concerned about one's wellbeing enough to care, nurture and nourish all aspects of life as God gives wisdom and understanding.

WHY DID YOU CHOOSE TO GO INTO MINISTRY? WERE YOU EXCITED ABOUT IT AT FIRST AND HOW HAS THE JOURNEY BEING FOR YOU SO FAR?

Ans: I didn't know what ministry was all about as at the time I began my walk with God. I only know I was given an instruction," Teach and train young boys and girls for me." I wrote it even though I didn't know what it entails and haven't even began to be serious in my walk. It was as time began unfolding by the day I started seeing myself not wanting any young person to come my way without engaging them in God's word and sharing the reality of life ,and life after here with them.

My definition of ministry is obedience to God's instruction on how one is to serve Him. Ministry is a task given to one by God in different area of His choice.

In service to God I've come to realize that where God will place is where you have been given the resources to handle it. At first it will look like you're not up to the task. But in our obedience every virtue designed for the task will begin to unfold. And this is where we see that it's not in us to do the work but God working in and through us to make His glory show forth for all to see acknowledge and come to rejoice in it.

It's not always easy because we have other aspects of our lives schedule to handle. So it's a matter of always going to God for help as it's not something anyone can do with physical abilities. Say skills or talents. David had a skill or he was better talented but he didn't bring down Goliath by his skill. He clearly stated, “I come in the name of God of Israel whom you have defiled."

You'll need God to bring about transformation to a soul. It's not having voice and being fluent or having money. All these somehow matters but it shouldn't take the place of God when it comes to the business of destiny.

It will challenge you to go on spiritual exercise to always be in touch with God to reach out these lives. I don't have time to visit as I would.

WHAT'S YOUR GO-TO VERSE OR PRAYER WHEN YOU NEED ENCOURAGEMENT OR STRENGTH DURING CHALLENGING TIMES?

a. Isaiah 43 :1-7
b. Psalm 16:8-11
c. 2 Chronicles 20:3-4

Jehoshaphat was in a dilemma that was going to sweep the children of Israel and make them slaves to her enemies and it was such that it joined force with other nations all against a single nation, it got him scared. He went to God and he poured out as it was to God. And he stated their inability to bring about victory in any way. The rest of the verse states his prayer and how they made use of the instrument of praise and worship unto God and God showed up in their affairs and gave victory.

Times when I'm overwhelmed, Kai! I bring myself to just that worshiping God and end up just stating my case like it is before Him and then I find myself drenched in my tears and I'll just sleep.

The truth is I'll wake up to see God showing up giving peace and guidance.

HOW DO YOU DISCERN WHETHER SOMEONE IS TRULY CALLED TO MINISTRY OR JUST CAUGHT UP ON THE EXCITEMENT OF A SPIRITUAL EXPERIENCE?

The person's life outside of ministry.
The person's friends.
The person's emphasis and interpretation of God's word and ministry.
The person's response to visibility and heart for the work .
The person's response to money, Fame, and the lust of the eyes.
Time is a reveler.

The pattern of ministry found within the confines of God's word. The burdens of the person toward the business of the kingdom, the souls of men being saved, trained and brought into representing the kingdom with different gifting and in diverse callings.

WHAT ARE YOUR THOUGHTS ABOUT YOUNG PEOPLE WHO RUSH INTO MINISTRY ESP AFTER EXPERIENCING A SIGNIFICANT SPIRITUAL MOMENT LIKE A FIRST MIRACLE, WHAT DO YOU HAVE TO SAY TO SUCH PEOPLE?

Ans: We can't really conclude that they rushed into it until we see the fruits the bear. This is so because, some persons are asked by God to start and to you and me we would think it's earlier for them. The fruit they bear will tell us of their caller.

The set that go into ministry without any instructions are only there because of the goodies it comes with and trust me, they won't stay long and their god will be revealed.

The other set who go into ministry without proper training and understanding of what it entails may do so ignorantly or because there's no one they can surrender to for training and these ones out of their pure heart to serve God, He will bring them to someone who will later take them up and they'll do wonders for God. The kind that go out into ministry for show will become the devil's showbiz for devilish activities as their souls will become a tool for the devil to express and advertise his commodities. They're be destroyed unless they retrace their steps to God. Ministry is obedience and service to God and all He represents. It's only as we're instructed by God, via His word, revelation after much prayers and understanding thereof plus receiving guidance from those He will also send you to and daily study of God's word can anyone answer the call to ministry - service.

HOW DO YOU STAY HUMBLE AND AVOID PRIDE IN YOUR LEADERSHIP ROLE?

ANS: In the place of pride, what I experience the most is Joy at seeing lives make a u turn to God, finding themselves in light of God's word and plan for them. Equipping themselves for the tasks and getting in to service unto God who came through for them. My gain is so much Joy seeing lives lived purposefully. It's the source that takes the glory not the vessel. The substance is of God not man. So daily I return all glory to God. And when pride comes because most times the devil tends to amplify the effect of what's done by a vessel so much that if you don't remind yourself that it is God you'll dance in the moment of drum the devil will beat for you. I know I was before. I know what I can do and what I can't do. I know when it's not of me and when it is. In all I acknowledge that it is God in and through me to all things that's been and will be done in and through me.

WHAT ADVICE WOULD YOU GIVE TO YOUNG PEOPLE WHO FEEL A SENSE OF CALLING OR PASSION FOR MINISTRY BUT DON'T KNOW HOW TO GO ABOUT IT?

ANS: Ministry is service anyone that cannot serve shouldn't go into ministry. It's not for fun. It's work. And it's service to men as unto God. You'll need to discover and understand your jurisdiction, your niche, your area of gifting. You'll need to search out the scripture concerning that the area and what God expects of you as there will be specific instructions. In my case, I hadn't known anything about ministry, but this was the specific instruction I received audibly within me," teach and train teenage girls and boys" I wrote this down and left it there.

I continued with reading God's word and praying daily; engaging in fasting as God gave strength. Untill God began to bring every bit of it into reality. I gave myself to attending conference and retreats as my discipler was encouraging us to especially the ones he was part of.

On my own by God's help , I was led into reading books and listening to messages that really helped my growth. The likes of Bro. Gbile Akanni, Pastor Benny Hinn. They helped me in experiencing the ministry of the holy spirit and in worshipping God and also what God requires of his vessels who will serve Him.

I came back home and I was asked to start teaching the teens class with little or no knowledge of how to do so, but I went on because I understood that it was a training session for me. I would blab in front of these set of human beings and I sincerely hated it. But it made me realized that if I don't put in the needed effort no one will and I wouldn't be able to express that which God has put inside me. Truth be told, of every leading of God to do any service unto Him, He has deposited what it takes to do it as it should be, it only requires our daily yielding and giving out time and resources to manifest it.

LASTLY, IF YOU COULD HAVE DINNER WITH ANY BIBLICAL CHARACTER, WHO WOULD IT BE AND WHY?

It's more than one Bible character.

1.Abraham

2. Daniel

3. Paul

Abraham represents a godly father figure. He represents such a godly father who was able to bring his children into God to continue and preserve godly seeds unto God. He revealed that by obedience to God anyone can come into their prophecies and receive God's promises to them. He prove that God can honour and keep His word when we obey and trust Him to know what He's doing even if we don't. He revealed by his journey with God, that anyone can touch the heart of God and get to receive something that doesn't end with him but that can transcend to generations unborn. He revealed that God is not ashamed of our weaknesses and when we cry in times when we're overwhelmed with our waiting list that looks like it will never be real, that God will never forget His covenant nor His promises to us, at His time, He will send us our "Joy" and perfect all that concerns us. He is the man known to demonstrate faith in God by simply obeying God's word.

Daniel and Samuel: These are another character in the bible that proves that one follow God in Babylon and not slide not trade that which is eternal for what is temporary and time bound.

Samuel revealed that one can follow in the footsteps of their parents without having a second thought of wanting to live their own lives that may be different from their parent's.

Samuel revealed that young people can follow God without being influenced by others who play church like the likes of Eli and Hophine and that one can become a survivor to preserve God's heritage to the next generation. Samuel valued His relationship with God than bearing title. He showed true priesthood when he said, paraphrased," God forbid it that I should not make mention of you in praying for you"

Daniel, revealed that our godly disciplines is to be treasured than the delicacies life has to offer for in our commitment to godly disciplines and principles can we have access into the deep secrets of God that is able to bring deliverance, solution and blessings for our families, friends, ministries, and the nations at large when it's applied. Daniel revealed that one can be in a consistent and unbroken fellowship with God in season and out of season and be relevant in different administrations representing God and not be corrupted.

Paul and Lois/Eunice

The spiritual and biological parents of Timothy.

Paul has always been my role model in discipleship, His style of discipleship is described so many times in his letters to his disciples as a father's relationship with his children. "Like a mother nurses her children" we gave you not just the gospel but shared with you our very lives so that you'll be able to know the power of the gospel in transforming a life.

Another time, he spoke about living with his disciples as with his children in a loving and playful manner.

And another time, he spoke of chastening his disciples as a sign of love and sonship. He stated that a bastard is one who is not chastened and hence does not have a place in the house, he's to be cast away.

Lois and Eunice: These two mothers are the true definition of godly motherhood in this dispensation and that it's possible to bear children and guide them in the way of God to continue godly heritage.

I sincerely would love to spend time with these characters…

Wowww! What an incredible way to end our 2024 season! Mama Eunice has left us with so much to ponder and apply to our own lives. As we conclude this episode, I leave you with a question: What will you carry with you from Mama Eunice’s powerful story? How will you apply the lessons she's shared to your own life?

Take time to reflect, and let the insights you've gained inspire you to live boldly and authentically.
