I am okafor Johnsteve Udochukwu.
She is depressed’ she feel like ending it now ‘she said and I asked..
Do you remember those period you were so sick and they rushed you to the hospital and you felt you may not make it,you prayed and ask God to help you; now you are strong and you didn’t die.
Can you recall those years you slept on the street without minding what might happen to you just because you had no other option, can you also remember the period you were sexually abused and you think it was the end of it all but you are still Alive.
Should i remind you of those period you always wear same shoes and clothes to church, school or to an important occasion all the Time’ did you remember how inferior you always feel, what happened now? Are you still wearing those stuff or is there a little changes.
Remember when you have to wait for your parents to send you some cash before you can make or shave your hair,is it like that now?
I don’t think you remember the accident you had that nearly took your life but you are still alive,have you even remember how you were embarrassed because of your dept or should I remind you of how the one you loved most broke your heart into pieces and you almost killed yourself” I believe you have found another lover now?
what of your business that collapsed or you parents that left you when you needed them most but you are still catching up now.
What of the period you were mocked for not having a child,I don’t think you forgot easily the period you find it intimidating to hang out with your friends because you fell you are less, I smiled when I remember those period you beg for garri to drink and it will take you for the whole day,you remember also when you were Hawking and doing all kind of Jobs just to eat.
Have you forgotten how you weep all night,did you forgot those months you nearly took away your baby through abortion because of unreadiness,lack of finance, rejection by the father,fear of loosing your academic,do you remember when you went to jail,all those period you were in danger did you remember the promises you made to God.
I am okafor Johnsteve and it is my duty to point you to God.
Most of the things we see or experience are all temporal, the will never last,it is not herioc to take away your life because of pain but it is herioc to be alive and see yourself overcoming those pains.
You will be a legend when you use your past pain to encourage others and the only way to do it is to be alive. Keep pushing, build your mental toughness.
Hee nearly took his life and i asked again?
Have you sock garri inside water in the past and allowed it to rise so that it can be enough to hold your stomach before( due to lack of lack of money or food)Did you die?🤔🤐.
Have you stretched your hands to beg someone for half spoon of milk or cooked rice and you use your tongue to lick it before?🙄😞
Have you missed class because of no transportation and have you avoid eating in the school because you need to use the money to cook food that will last for you a little?
Have you tried to withdraw your last 1000 or 500 naira and it it is writing insufficient fund before’i believe you are still alive despite the experience.
Have you sacrifice your last cash just to buy a test book before and you had nothing to eat at that moment.😢
Have you use your last cash to sustain friends and organize a program/outreach just to promote what you believe in and go back thinking on how to survive.
There are many pains that people pass through,even those that slept in the lecture hall and goes to a friend house early in the morning to bath before going for lecture, Have you been asked to repeat because of your inability to pay your school fees😢 and those that rewrote many exams.alot happened at school.
Have you been push out of the house because of you inability to renew your house rent before and have you lose all your money in a business or investment to the point that you don’t have any cash left for you to eat?
Have you seen your friends or relatives die because of lack of finance. Have you every experience heart break to the point you think you will die if he or she leaves you and yet you are still living without him or her,have you lost your job or have been looking for job for so many years and it was as if all hope was lost.
Have you prayed and it took you so many years to get what you have been praying for, in all of these I mention and many that I didn’t,you still survive and at least you are a little better of’ than yesterday’ then tell me what made you think you can’t be better than today if you are still alive hoping , praying, planning and acting.
After remembering all these and many more and you still want to give up🤔,my brother and sister you are a warrior don’t try to give up.I say dont!!
