I and my husband have been out of jobs since 2019 and its been tough and full of wonders. During the first wave of covid 19 outbreak it was hell for us. No income or stipend coming from anywhere, my husband was frustrated and it was really affecting our marriage because we both got angry at the slightest provocation and the little business I started with my 25% pension payment came to a halt because no one at that time needed clothes or shoes since we all were made to stay home.
Fast forward 2020 we started a little gardening just to survive and ensure our kids can atleast have a day meal. I prayed all the prayers I knew how to pray, fasted until it became a regular, due to lack of food. Until a sister shared her testimony and I replied saying” I wish GOD would hear me too”🥺 and that evening I was contacted by the SL and given specific prayer point to pray concerning the unveiling of the secret of my life. Which I did with the unwavering assistance of one of our sister ( GOD BLESS HER IMMENSELY ).
After the prayers God miraculously made available our rent and it seemed like the door closed immediately we paid the rent. Since then we’ve been struggling to manage as there was really nothing to manage.
God kept us through 2020, in 2021 we stopped going to church because we couldn’t afford the fare and even days when we had #500 it would rather be set aside to buy bread or beans for the kids to atleast have something to eat.
April, this month my Dad informed everyone of his intention to celebrate his retirement from the force and how much we the children are to support him with.
I was broken because we had no penny besides no one knew what my husband, i and the kids have been passing through since we lost our jobs. Being that my Dad wanted someone else as a husband for me. It would raise unnecessary issues if i dared to say we were literally starving. So i gave an excuse and lied that my husband had an urgent need to handle his late fathers remembrance ( God have mercy ) to save face. I was like GOD! My siblings will all be present looking well and I and my kids would appear under kept. God forbid, I said. Our car had been packed due to unresolved mechanical fault for months. Where would we start? I was bitter in my spirit, words failed me in prayer n I switched to worshiping in place of prayer.
Few days later my Dad called that he plans to drive down to Akwa Ibom and would be lonely if we could join him ( first miracle ) transport sorted.
Second the color of the material that was chosen I already had ( 2nd miracle )
Thirdly Journey mercies.
So we arrived safely, and the celebration was a success…
When our departure was drawing close, I got depressed thinking of how we would come back to Lagos to face the landlord whose rent was overdue since January this year. While I was lost in thought one day, I heard a soft voice say” SLOW PROGRESS IS STILL PROGRESS” I didn’t understand it, I even binded and rejected slow progress and shunned the voice to stay quiet. I prayed everyday for favor on my business upon our return to Lagos or direction if there is a need to change my line of business. so we can at least raise half the rent to buy more time. On the other hand I was contemplating relocation to the village because my kids were feeding well back there n I felt bringing them back to nothing in Lagos again would be utter wickedness on my path. As food was also a major challenge.
Days later I was sitting outside n i saw snails crawling slowly past me and I heard the voice again ”SLOW PROGRESS IS STILL PROGRESS” this time my mind analysed the message differently.
Immediately I jumped up took my phone and put up advert for snails. Behold! orders started coming in. It was so much that the profit was up to half our rent which we paid upon our arrival.
God gave me divine direction on what to do as business while I was there🙏🏻
I am mostly happy that we were able to pay atleast half the rent. This testimony is the largest for me.
I am most grateful to GOD!
Even though all the money went into paying half our rent I am trusting him for financial favor to go back into trading snails and possibly start a snail pen of my own.
GOD IS INDEED AWESOME!!! AND HE WHO has made half of our rent payment possible will surely make the full payment available with balance to go back into full time snail trade🙌🙌
GOD Bless our SL
