I love to share my story to encourage someone. I grew up in Lagos, my dad went to the states when i was little. We were not hearing from him because he separated from my mum. I struggled to pay my school fees, i was business oriented, i did little business just to ensure that i had little change at all times.

I met this girl in school and i was her first guy, we were so in love, but when we came out of school things became harder.

I had applied for resident visa in the past, but it was turned down, i didn’t give up. My girlfriend was trying to get a good a job, but it was so difficult, even me myself things were really hard i could not find anything. I was always borrowing money to make ends meet.

My girlfriend became tired of the relationship, she was discouraged & felt she should give another guy a chance. I asked myself what is wrong with me, i made up mind to turn fully to God, i went to deliverance program in MFM, for three days no food.

Just immediately after the deliverance, i was called that the visa i applied for has been granted. I went to America and met with my dad. My dad reunited with me and made my life easier, i got a job in a soft ware company, my life changed in a twinkle of an eye.

My girlfriend’s family who were discouraging her about me, started encouraging her all of a sudden, everything worked for my favor. Today i married my girlfriend, and we have a son. I have even invited my mum to help us take care of our baby.

God was gracious to me.
