INTRODUCTION
〰♣♣〰♣♣〰♣♣〰

Life challenges you. It brings out the strength in you. The strength you never knew you had. Giving up is not an option. Don’t compare your situation with anyone because strengths are different.

At the precipice of taking my life.

He had mercy and gave his life.

It’s too much, I’ll say.

Then he taught me how to pray.

Water runs in secret lies.

Oil dries, the light dies.

Silently watching,

Hurting, no stopping.

Enough!!!

A leap of faith is not for trade.

Combust and shine he is alive.

In abundance, a field for play.

Perfection is no child’s play. Our day and night turns into a battle field. Our motto, more than conquerors should not be taking likely.

Take complain as your enemy and action your friend. We are the writers of our story but who edit that story? Quitters never win the race. No short cuts to success.

We reap what we sow. how do we sow? What will we be remembered for? Who will we be remembered as?

Exposure to the world guarantees nothing. Exposure to the word guarantees everything. Nobody says it going to be easy of cause it will not be, what you don’t sweat for, you can’t value it. Understand one thing.

MY LIFE IS A TESTIMONY.

MR. WILSON

Hmmm, that’s nice I will like to thank your pastor for having me.

UBONG

Oh, well, your pastor is a blessed man. It is obvious God is really using him. For accepting me with no questions, his ministry will grow from glory to glory and the Lord shall continue to bless him, his family and the church. Amen.

UBONG

Amen.
