The Conversation

She: Good afternoon
He: Good afternoon pls
She: Good afternoon sir! Can I talk to you?
He: 08072744871 or 08175443372
He: I’m in transit but you can call me in an hour
She: Thank you! Alright sir
(He calls her, she picks but says she will feel more 
comfortable if they had a chat)
He: My apologies, when I saw “talk”, I had to assume
it is an emergency. Please pardon me
She: Oh, it's alright!... 
I'm sorry it came off that way. 
I was just seeking permission to talk i.e chat with you 
cause I was feeling a little overwhelmed.
He: Hey Sis... Haven't seen your message
She: Cold feet...Sorry

(Conversation continues on whatsapp) 6/21/2019
She: Hello? Its 'O" from twitter
He: 

Hi
She: I just needed o talk to someone I don't know
I'm feeling overwhelmed by so many things
He: Good evening sis
[20:08, 6/21/2019] He: I am sorry for the delay
Came to Delta state earlier today
Preparing for a ministration
I am very happy to listen
And offer a word or two if and when needed
Just pour out your mind
It helps

She:

Sorry to cut into your schedule
Ha....Where do I even start
I'm a working student, things are a little rough at home,
so sometimes, well most time I have to take care of my 
needs and that requires me working hard
I've got siblings and cousins who count on me for some 
of their bills as well. 
Things have been good and things have been rough. 
It varies
The thing is when things get rough, 
I always manage to pull through or should I say, 
I always knew I would and so that gives me a 
reason to go on and keep at it but this time 
it's a little different
I don't feel like I can pull through
I'm in my finals, 500lvl, I've got exams in July 
and I haven't paid my fees which could lead
 to me getting an extra year
I'm trying to get that money (I'm halfway there)but I 
don't think I'll meet my deadline.
Can't eat well cause saving is more important... 
So I'm just stuck.
I have a project to do and I don't even have a laptop,
 so I haven't even started which means I have 
to get one.
I tried getting a mini job as a salesperson but they 
wouldn't hire me because of my disability 
(most just probably assume I wouldn't be able to do 
a good job or perhaps they feel it'll be inhuman 
to work me...
It's pretty dark out here
It's choking me out
And today mom called me to tell me to pray against 
people who want to use me for being too good.
I'm getting pretty tired.
Its getting too much for me to take in
I don't know what I'm not doing right

He: Hmmm, You'd get there! Are you a Christian?
She: Yes
He: Do you attend church?
She: Yes
He: Which church? I ask because I know the church is a good 
option to get help
She: Lols, my church is literally out.
He: There are no individuals to approach?
She:No. All they do is more of passing words around
He: I get that
She:Another thing is I suck at asking people for help 
and it's frustrating the hell out of me.
He:Please how much is the money
She: 131,500
He:What about family?
She: 
We were never really the family that merges 
with other people, so I don't exactly have rich 
uncles to turn to
He: I get that!
He: But that is small money
She: Dad's trying, he really is... 
I can't even ask him for any more than I already did
She: What? Small? People like us have to toil pretty hard 
to make that much
He: I went through Private university and paid my way
 through struggle and prayer and fasting and 
begging and crying and lamenting
She: Really?
He: Yes
She: How did you do it?
He: I went to a private University without a sponsor
It was hell
She: Wow
He: I thought I would never make it, but I did
Even graduated as one of the best in my department
Never missed an examination
She: Awwn
He: Was all bones and teeth, I became emaciated 
because I didn't have food to eat
I fasted and fasted, sometimes all i had to eat for weeks
was custard
I cried and prayed
God always came through somehow
But it was though
She: With the whole mental stress, my academic life is suffering
He: I wasn’t ashamed of begging
I went to everybody and presented my results
My mother too spared nothing, crying and begging for
support on my behalf
We went to our church, Individuals, MRS Akingbola of Grace 
So Amazing Foundation (Publishers of Word for Today) 
paid for one year
University of Ibadan Baptist Church paid my acceptance fee
My Father did the best he could
But I was in school with my younger brother
The fee for the both of us was a heavy yoke
I wrote to everybody!!
I didn’t have any pride at all
She: Wow
This is very difficult
He: I kept looking at the indignity of that moment and 
weighing it against the prospect of my future! 
I didn’t beg from those who couldn’t help! 
I went to pastors and asked them to please put in 
a word for me with someone or the other
I was paying 400k per session at the time
400 Thousand Naira?
He: Yes, And I made it every year
I never missed an exam
I prayed o
She:I can't imagine having to pay that, Jesu!!!
He: I fasted until I had blisters in my mouth
Sometimes all I ate for weeks were custard and 
mangoes
She: At least I have garri. You've had it pretty rough
 I'm grateful I don't have to do that and 
I'm sorry you had to live like that
And I'm grateful that I can still worry about 
having Didi on my head
He: See? You have it better! It will work out
Today it has become just a story for my brother and I!
She: I agree! I hope so. I just had to make a decision 
to talk when I was going out and I started thinking  
''if I had an accident right now, would it be a relief?
He:Kai, don't ever think that way
She: I'm a very strong person, very cheerful and I love life.. 
And  I was thinking that way,  I was thinking, does anyone 
know my ATM pin?
At least my sibling will have use for the money in my
 account ,bla bla bla
It scared me...
He:
 Me one day I was in my way to Babalawos house to 
do juju that I will use to collect money from my father! 
I was born again o! 
A spirit filled Christian but it was so terrible that I had 
to consider the devil as an option! 
Thank God I couldn’t do it!
She: Seriously?
He: Seriously!!
She: Oh my God
He: I was on a bike on my way there when the Holy Spirit 
said “You will kill the Babalawo” 
I laughed and laughed and laughed until the Okada 
man dropped me thinking I had gone mad
She: God, This God...
When I got home, I went on twitter to distract myself
Then I saw your tweet and sent you a message
He: Wow
See how our stories now seemed very similar
It’s like looking in a mirror
The Holy Spirit is wonderful
She: I even later got cold feet and decided to forget it
Then you called
He: Wow
She: And I saw a text that depicts you were waiting
That's how I got here! You've had it rougher
The Holy Spirit is wonderful
He: I am able to encourage you as a result
It was not in vain
She: Yeah, It wasn't
She: I wish I can keep that in my head, but I'm a realist, 
I can't stop worrying until I can come up with a way  
or a solution  and it's all happening at once
He: I am like that too but I don’t worry
I study hard and make sure I finish my examination within 
30 minutes! 
From the minute we start the examination, I have
30 minutes grace before the lecturers ejecting school
fees defaulters would start making rounds!
By the time they get to my examination venue, I would have
submitted and left for the hostel!
Imagine writing a 3 hours paper in 30 minutes!
I was very desperate!
I still made a strong second class upper with 4.24 CGPA!
She: Phew!
Desperate for me would be,
Go out with some people I know want to do that and 
would be willing to give me more than enough
But it would require me sleeping with them and 
that's something I can't bring myself to do
He: Noooooo! Please! It wouldn’t be worth it
Send me your account no!
I will be looking at it and praying
Miracle money will come
She: 
I need all the prayers I can get.

On the 7th of July 2019 by 2PM
He got a message from another sister
The sister wrote:
I have a prompting by the Holy Spirit to pay
my tithe to churches I don't attend
For the times I didn't take heed, i always
feel dampened in my spirit!
My question is this, must I pay tithe to the
church where i worship?
Thank you sir!
He: Always listen to the Holy Spirit and obey Him!
The Sister (Okay) I have sent the sum of 39,000.00
to you as instructed by the Holy Spirit

[23:33, 7/9/2019] 
She: Good evening Pastor, hope you still remember me?
He:God bless you sister
Have you gotten the money now?
She: I'm close. 
It will end in praise
He: Hallelujah
How much more do you need?
She: 39,500
I've 92000 already and feeding fee

He:Wow
Send me your account number again
(She did and He sent her the 39,500.00)
Congratulations sis
The Holy Spirit came through for you
Now go and write that exam with joy and testify 
of His goodness
She: Oh my God! I'm crying!
God will continually bless you sir
He: Amen! I am crying too! 
Say thank you to the Holy Spirit
He did this
Someone sent me 39,000 Naira today
She: Woow
And you came looking for 39,500
The Holy Spirit just made me a channel through 
which he would help you
I cannot take the credit for that
The Holy Spirit is the one you must thank
To Him alone be the glory for this
She: I bless God

Ps: He wrote to the sister who sent him the Tithe
A student reached out on 21 June, I was in Delta, 
she was at her wits end because of school fees!
 She reached out to me on Twitter! 
I gave her my WhatsApp number! 
We talked! She was genuine! 
Yesterday you, said the Holy Spirit told you to send 
me some money! 
I didn’t know why! 
You sent 39,000.00! 
The student wrote to me late in the night, 
I had forgotten all about her! 
She has been able to gather 92000! 
She needed 39,500.00 
Wow!
Suddenly I got it!
You sent N39,000.00 and she needed N39,500.00
That was the Holy Spirit at work!
 Thought I should let you see how the Holy Spirit used 
you to bless someone desperately in need

The Sister
Thank you Jesus!!!!
I am in awe of God's power and guidance!!!!
Hmmm. I can't tell it all.
 After I received my salary for May 2019, 
I missed taking the tithe to church for the first Sunday. 
I kept looking for an opportunity to give it out. 
Then, the promotion which took effect in June 
came through. 
This time, I received promptings from the Holy Spirit
 to send the money to you. 
So I asked the question on Monday. (8/7/2019)
The first thought I had on waking up on Tuesday (9/7/2019)
was a reminder not to fail in sending it across. 
I was running late. Again, I received the nudge as soon
 as I settled in the office. 
I added that of May (16000) and that of June (23000) 
and sent it. 
I had instant peace. 
I thank God for guiding me and enabling me to obey. 
It's an honour to be used by the Holy Spirit. 
Glory to God!!!

This happened yesterday/today!
The Holy Spirit is truly in our midst
He is truly working out his wonders today!
"For as Many as are led by the Spirit of God, they are the
sons and daughters of God"
Hallelujah!!!!!
