Psalms of Tosin

Life of a God Kingdom daughter.

She gave her life to Christ at  boarding house, 
it all happened so strangely. 
A senior girl asked her to go to her classroom 
to pick up her garri and groundnut from her 
table. 
At 7pm when it was dark and everyone knew 
there were bushbabies and snakes lurking 
at every corner. 
‘Please’ she cried take my milo and milk 
I can’t go to the class area at this time. 
She begged and begged but the senior 
wouldn’t budge. 
She told her to kneel down and fly her hands, 
how dare she disobey her. 
This senior was in JSS3. 
Tosin knelt down for ages crying and begging. 
She usually never got into much trouble at 
school as she was quite quiet and respectful 
but this was total fear towering over obedience. 
She would rather serve punishment than be 
bitten by a snake or worse see a bushbaby, 
especially after having witnessed the killing of a 
massive snake by the students the day before.
Soon the senior students started filing into the 
hostels after their reading period had ended, 
and one asked why she was kneeling down. 
She told her and was asked to stand up and 
go to bed. 
The senior reprimanded the JSS3 girl and 
Tosin was saved. 
Meanwhile another senior watched silently and 
called her over, she asked why she was scared 
to go to class and asked if she was born again, 
she told her with Jesus you can do anything and 
are saved from all things. 
Tosin believed her and gave her life to Christ. 
It was amazing Tosin was so full of the spirit of 
God that she ran to the class that night and 
brought back the garri and groundnut and 
gave it to the Jss3 senior.
At school Tosin saw all sorts of things and heard 
stories that made her glad she had Christ. 
It made her pray and take her faith seriously.
Having left boarding school to attend a day 
school closer to home, life was different. 
She attended Celestial Church as her father was 
the Pastor of a parish. 
Her parents regularly stayed at church for a 
few days during the week, which gave Tosin 
the opportunity to sneak out of the house on 
Wednesdays to a bible study group that took 
place on her street and learn songs and study 
the word with other born again believers. 
She started taking her siblings with her and 
soon they all gave their lives to Jesus. 
One day her father came home early and waited 
for them to get home. 
He told Tosin off and warned her never to go 
to the bible study fellowship as he didn’t know 
the members and it finished quite late. 
That did not stop her, she felt obliged to disobey 
her earthly father for her Heavenly Father and 
kept going. 
By now she had started speaking in tongues 
and her siblings followed suit.
One night when her parents were at church, 
the nanny who stayed with them started 
complaining about her tummy, the pain grew 
worse.  
Tosin started praying and speaking in tongues, 
her sisters joined her there was really no other 
choice as there was no phone neither at the 
house nor at the church. 
They prayed and prayed claiming healing over 
their nanny. 
The pain stopped and the kids jubilated. 
**
Tosin had just completed her secondary school 
and was waiting for her exam results. During the 
break one day, she sat in her family prayer room 
praying for change. 
“God please I want to go back to England”. 
For her family moved to Nigeria when she 
was in primary school. 
She prayed and prayed with every ounce of 
faith that she had and believed that it was done. 
A few months later her mother sent her on 
holiday to England and from there she was asked 
if she wanted to stay longer and start school. 
God granted her prayer request. 
Even till now she always remembers the day the 
Lord heard her prayer in the prayer room. 
When challenges come and she prays she 
remembers her testimonies, her encounters 
and she believes and her faith increases.
