So many years ago, two years after being born again, the church I attended wanted to host a programme for the youths, and so flyers and other means of invitation was administered. On that faithful day, we were sent out in various groups to invite people for the programme, and It happened I saw a young lady standing all by herself... So I approached her to give her a flyer and then share a few words of encouragement to motivate her to come for the programme, when suddenly a guy from nowhere rushed towards us and then started ranting and almost getting physical with me... It was then the lady said: "Steven please stop", that was when I realized the guy was her boyfriend... Though me being a church boy, born again and tongue talking, 😜My flesh rose to the occasion, and suddenly I felt I needed to do something... That was how I charged at the guy, lifted him off the ground, and slammed him on the ground, threw the flyers on him and I said... "you are coming for this programme whether you like it or not" and then walked up to the lady and told her "bring him with you" 😳😯😲 Everyone at the scene where shocked........ Just the way you are right now 😁.

Do you want to know what happened?

Well, the day of the programme came, and I happened to be the one Ministering in songs, and just after the programme, I noticed a young guy and lady who walked up to me with smiles beaming through their faces..... To my amazement, it was the lady I gave a flyer and invited for the programme.... And the guy 😁😁😁😁😁 I Believe You already know him by now. They told how they were so blessed, and how they both gave their lives to Christ during the Altar Call. I was so overwhelmed... Though the guy was about to apologise for his actions during our first encounter, when I immediately also cut in with an apology for my reactions too! In all we gave Glory to God 🙌
Today that Guy is a Pastor, and now married to the said lady, both waxing strong in the Lord.

Seriously, I still wonder till date how God worked it all out, despite how differently things would have turned out with all the vawulence 😁😁😁.
Abeg!!!!! This is not a license to go on Evangelism and start giving people a T.K.O. For being aggressive towards you. 😁😁😁.

It's Good To Seek Counsel When One Seem To Be In Situations That Seem Beyond One's Control, Because You'd Be Doing So To Your Own Advantage. And Because It Would Be People Who Are Professionals, And Have No Bias Or Are Judgemental, With Strict Confidential Clause, It Would Really Help You Straighten Things Out Easily, Fairly, Professionally.

Unfortunately, Counseling In This Part Of The World (Africa) Nigeria To Be Precise, Is Been Taken With Levity. A Lot Of People Are Religiously Driven That Rather Than Seeking Professional Counsel, They'd Rather Go To Their Spiritual Leader For Advice. AND Most Often, Because Majority Don't Have Any Professional Training Or Skill To Help Give Proper Counseling, They Just Speak From Experience, They Oftentimes Lump Up One Or Two Scriptures They Obviously Don't Understand It's Context As Back Up For Their Shallow Counsel.

Truth, Am Not Trying To Rule Out Or Undermine Counsels From Spiritual Leaders, Friends, And Families, Because They Can Be Of Help To An Extent. But The Common Challenge With Counsel From The Above Mentioned, Is That They Can Be Bias, Judgemental, And Overbearing, But A Professional Counselor Wouldn't.That's Why It's Best To Go See A Professional.

Many Of Us Have Lost Opportunities By Refusing To SHINE When We Ought To. We Think It's Pride When We Show The Stuff We Are Made, We Are Afraid Of What Other People Would Say When We Exert Dominance In Our Area Of Gift And Talent.

When You Find Yourself In A Place Or Gathering That Your Talent Is Required, Rise Up And Show The Stuff You Are Made Of, Don't Be Intimidated Or Shy About Other People That You Think Maybe Better Than You! Cause The Truth Is They Maybe Better, But You Also May Be The Best By Being BOLD. So Stop Feeling Shy Or Intimidated When The Occasion Demands That You Show Your Worth, And Cease That Opportunity To SHINE.

In All, Be Prepared For That Moment, Because It Would Come... And You Better Be Ready To SHINE.
