MY HEROS OF FAITH
“The most difficult days (stage) of your life will someday pull someone up into faith ”
…buf akpan
Life is funny. Did you say cruel? Whatever you say, I can still laugh out loud because of my understanding. The people I have in one way or the other lived with, heard them counseling from deep wealth of experience tell me there is hope for anyone who chooses to lose their doubt and move up to faith.
I have gathered together some names and stories that can’t but get you thinking and encourage you to give up trying to fix your life but letting God be the refiner of the gold that you are. Though, there is someone more than gold on the list but you just have to let me do this. Again the list is not in the order of importance but because you can never be the least in my life but the best God has made you.
Faith is that conviction, motivation, joy, security, unselfish, sacrifice, beauty, words, actions that is full of vitality that it exudes the strength that causes tombstone to roll back, darkness to turn to light, rejection to turn to acceptance, hatred to turn to love, beauty and death to turn to life.
1) Dr Tayo Brown; I grew under him to believe if you hold unto God, He will give you a life worth living, he despised the shame, criticism and moved into glory. Today he is a man you want to listen to.
2) Sis Pat; Despite the fact that many people gave up on her, she is still standing in the faith, vibrant, though might not be seen or known, her heart is large and beautiful.
3) Temitayo, More…Despite the odds, believes so much in me far beyond measures. She picked me up when I was thrown away, took away the dust, stains, pain, shame and wiped away my tears with her words. She has a beautiful and an understanding heart and very strong in the faith. I will love and appreciate you for ever by God’s grace. God, give me strength to be there for you at all times. You are a woman of honor and wisdom.
4) The Akin Ojesina; Despite their odd and situations that would have naturally stood between them, they are still standing and alive in the faith.
5) Sherry Witt-Hines; My dear friend and sister, Despite her challenges, her daughter going through what the doctors have given several names medical names that don’t exist in faith, she is still holding on to God for a promised change. Read her testimony “All is SO much better in the Hines Family! Thank you Jesus! Kelly is wanting to go see the horses again. Went yesterday and going again today! Praise God”.
6) Edward Akpan; who neglected his own needs, desires and aspiration to put other people’s need ahead of his and decided to give people like me a life. Thank you brother, only God can give glory to the pain of those sacrifices for us all…indeed you are living out your name.
7) Femi Faniku; Despite the days of tears, fears, doubt and the possibilities of joy so slim, he is leading his thought and very firm in the faith, your Given Joy will forever be.
8) Tholu Dele-Ige, a woman of virtue, respect and honor. She is more than strong in the faith. Your husband loves you.
9) Mrs Basie Akpan; My mom, each time I look at her sacrifices for us, my heart bleeds. How can a mother be this good? Preferring to give her life for her children, even when I see mothers putting their children and homes last in search of career. They get it but sometimes lose their homes, but Mama blends the two with balance and I can only say thank you. You are my hero.
Her family was close to breaking I was just two (2) and still very innocent but she gave up on her career to fight back for her family. Yes she succeeded and we are getting bigger by the day.
There is a Mother, Mummy Odusolu, I never met but those that stayed with her say; “you were virtue and wisdom in bodily form and endurance in definition. I sincerely love you.
10) Mell Brown ; though young but you can’t look at him and not be hopeful. He seem to find a way to make things appear easy with his charming smile. God bless you boy.
11) Wunmi Akinloye; she lost her Mom, as if that was not enough, she failed her final exam but she said “God knows about it” hmm! She is still very strong in faith. She is also a testimony today and an overcomer. I owe it to you.
12) Sarah Brown; She is a mother, full of wisdom and understanding. Looking at her from far tells me a lot with the little she says. A lot of people depend on that faith you posses.
What more can I say? I just decided to pick twelve (12), out of the numerous testimonies that abound around me, yours is there, have you forgotten? But what I can say in conclusion of this part is that, as you read on, your challenging situation is only allowed to strengthen someone, somewhere.
You can’t afford to give up now…there is surely an expected end. There will be a turn around…
My name is buf and I believe in you.
I love you but the Lord loves you more than I do.
Yours at-all-times.
