Two Years In Lagos - June , 2011

This is really more than a note for me because it is actually a letter to GOD. I woke very early this morning because I couldn’t sleep; My heart was so heavy and I couldn’t hold back my tears while praying; not because I was sad but because I remembered loads of Gods unmerited favour towards me. I entered into this city two years ago with practically nothing. I only had in my small red bag; two white shirts, a pair of shoe, some other very few cloths, my books and a bible. I knew I had a purpose and a message for the world but I really had no idea on how to go about it. This is actually a “testimony-time” note for me. I’m not particularly concerned about the material blessings because I’ve lost count of them a long time ago. I walked around my apartment this morning and was amazed at how much things have improved materially. My focus is on the privilege that has been given me to be part of GOD’s global agents for positive change. I have been privileged to organise and executive some community development projects in a city I entered as a ‘nobody’. The Orphanage Visit Project, House Everyone in Lagos, and the current Back To School Project are part of the numerous opportunities given me to help lives around. I really must acknowledge the fact that things only changed and keep improving after I subscribed to the principles of the GOD of the bible. I completely believed the fact that kind begets kind because God’s success nature affected my natural life and little obedience to his commandments. I looked like a genius to many around me; little did they know that my extraordinary capacities and achievements are tied to the secret that GOD’s extra joined my very ordinary. Moving from being a problem to a problem solver within a short time still astounds me. I moved from struggling for survival to helping people fulfil destiny; having a sure expected end of good success and having the opportunity to speak and share my life story and GOD’s word at churches, seminars, schools and conferences makes it more interesting. I decided to share this note to encourage someone that creating possibility out of nothing is absolutely achievable when we subscribe to GOD and live by his principle. To GOD, the ancient of days, the creator of heaven and earth, father of our Lord Jesus Christ, I say praise, glory, honour and adoration. Bukunmi ‘PREACHER’ Adelani @bukunmipreacher
