GLORY, THANKS FOR SHARING YOUR STORY

GOD NEVER FAILED US

“Last year around April, my mother suddenly became seriously sick. It was a very painful and difficult period for my family because her condition kept getting worse before she later started recovering by God’s grace.

Before we could recover from that fear, my father also became terribly sick. At that point, it felt like we were about to lose both parents. Treatments were not working, and many nights my siblings and I cried ourselves to sleep. We felt helpless and completely broken.

But we kept trusting God for a miracle.

Then God showed up. Miraculously, both my parents recovered and became strong again by September. The most beautiful part of the testimony was that my father gave his life to Christ because he knew God had saved him from that strange illness.

In December, we gathered as a family for thanksgiving to appreciate God for His mercy and faithfulness.

💡 My encouragement to everyone:
No matter the situation you are facing right now, don’t give up on God. Keep trusting Him. He is able to bring light even in the darkest moments.”

Thank you for sharing this powerful testimony of faith and hope.

DETERMINATION CHANGED MY STORY
“Hello great people, I’m Richy from Edo State.
After my WAEC in 2004, there was no money to continue my education.

Years later, in 2010, I finally gained admission into Auchi Polytechnic. I struggled to raise money for acceptance fees, but I still couldn’t afford the tuition and other expenses. At a point, I almost gave up the admission completely.

But something inside me refused to quit. By January 2011, I managed to raise the school fees and traveled to Auchi with nothing except one big bag containing all my belongings.
I joined my classmates late and had nowhere to stay. Unknown to many people, I was sleeping inside classrooms. The bag people always saw me carrying was not just books—it contained everything I owned.

Close to exam period, a coursemate discovered my situation and allowed me to squat with him. That single act of kindness changed a lot for me.
Today, I am proud to call myself a graduate. Though life after school has not been easy, I now run my own small fashion shop and keep pushing forward.

💡 My lesson to young people:
When you are determined, you can achieve your goals. The road may be rough, but don’t give up. Keep moving forward.”

👏 Thank you, Richy, for sharing this powerful story of determination and resilience.

WHEN LIFE GOT HARD, GOD SENT HELP

“I started YABATECH in 2023 with little savings. At that time, transportation and feeding were affordable, and my school fees were about ₦44,000. But after the fuel price increase, everything suddenly became expensive.

I started school with about ₦200,000, but before the first semester ended, I had less than ₦80,000 left. Then the school fees increased to ₦82,000. I became worried and honestly started doubting if I would finish school.

One day, I prayed and said, ‘Father, I know You started this journey with me, please don’t leave me.’

God answered through people. Support started coming from unexpected places. There was a time I received ₦70,000 support for school fees when I was almost frustrated. I cried because it came exactly when I needed it most.

Despite financial struggles, academic challenges, and painful experiences around me, God kept me. Some students were withdrawn, and sadly, some lost their lives before graduation. But by God’s grace, I was counted among the living and successfully completed my OND.

💡 My lesson to every young person:
Never give up on your dreams because of hard times. God can send help when you least expect it. Keep pushing, keep praying, and keep believing.”

👏 Thank you, Joy. Your testimony will inspire many young people never to give up.

THE BEST STORIES OF THE WEEK WILL BE REWARDED ACCORDINGLY.

THANKS EFE, FOR SHARING YOUR STORY

“Good afternoon. My name is Efe, and this message is for young graduates.

I graduated in 2015 and made the mistake of ignoring small jobs because I felt they were below my academic level. I focused only on government jobs and big private companies. Since I was making little money from betting, I saw low-paying jobs as a waste of time.

Years later, I realized many good opportunities required experience, and I had none. My age also became a challenge.

This year, I decided to start a small business of my own, and by God’s grace, I believe it will grow.

My advice to young graduates:
Don’t despise small beginnings. Start somewhere. Gain experience, build your profile, and keep growing.”

Thank you, Efe, for this honest and powerful lesson. Your story will inspire many young people.

💡 TUESDAY WISDOM
