Please shed some light on your story.
It may inspire someone

It's a very long one.

I pray I live long enough to attain the pinnacle of my dreams then I will make a movie out of it.

Im not yet where i want to be but im not where i use to be.

Sometimes when I remember my past I just shiver and sometimes I shed tears.

I did it o.

The change was so sudden and more pronounced btw.year 2002 at the time mtn was coming up.Life is moving at a fast.pace.

Yeah..i have lived 4 decades on earth. To GOD BE THE GLORY.

[quote author=candlewax post=76707714]Never did it but I passed through a furnace too. Once left my house trekked a long distance to my friends house and he wasn't around. Sat at his door waited for him to come back so he could give me a f**king "pure water" because I lost everything and couldn't afford a drinking water talk more of food, no phone,
choii. Will spend days inside my apartment 4years back eating N50 biscuit and sachet water for a day. Bills were pilling up too and I was so ashamed to beg anyone because I was big before the disaster....remembering this makes me wanna cry Oh God! [/quote






Awww e-hug dear

I don't know why I'm revealing all this, maybe because someone said it might inspire a reader. I passed through that at a tender age 24 specifically, so you'd imagine the stress for my young self. I made money early. When I started recovering small, I noticed I have been depressed, was having this funny feeling in my head and i checked myself into a psychiatric hospital. Be grateful you are reading this and not witnessing it, you'd weep for dear me

...Eyahh..sorry dear...

indeed your story is inspiring..

I did it
it helps though

Elliot2:
Chai! I feel like crying. I am passing through bad times now; a lot is going south and I am so exhausted.

You're not alone bro... There are millions of people out there going through the same condition. some even worse than yours. Keep your heads up & be steadfast. Pray to God & be grateful. Strive to be content with what you have while you work hard to improve your condition.
Don't give up. And again, you are not alone.

From God we come, and to him we shall return.
Limitless is Allah in His glory.
God Bless You

Was wondering what could inspire a whole thread on broken slippers when you can just get one of those guys to fix it for a small fee

Didnt know OP was hinting at something else entirely

Learning a lot from it..

Toks2008:

May you find peace hapiness and prosperity in the remaining days of your life,may God grant unto you all the desires of your heart, I am not a Pastor Mr Toks,but I felt in my spirit, you had been long overdue for a major breakthrough and as my God lives,before March 24th,2019 you shall come to testify, I do not know you bro.but if I should see you right now, I would pray for "grace" for you,you had already paid your due to "sacrifice" and self denial in life to get to where you are till date.My God shall honour your persistence and bless you supernaturally.I love you bro.

I have nothing more to say other than encourage anyone passing through a hard time. It will surely pass. Trials are phases and stepping stone to greatness. I'm not yet a big as I used to despite the fact I'm very comfortable now but I know I will surpass how I began. At least friends that deserted me now respect me. I was so broke that when my house expired then, I shamefully lied to my neighbors that I was parking to somewhere else. I brought a truck parked electronics sold them and paid debt, when I was leaving the compound I abandoned my furnitures, chairs in my sitting room and beds because I had no where to take them to. It was someone I met on that day with my clothes walking aimlessly along the road that took me to his place. Rat infested kpako... � (from a well furnished apartment to squat in kpako (zinc) house) I later brought my car and will sleep in the car as I don't drive it because no fuel. Sold the car afterwards. I don't know, it was really bad, no friends, no babe, no clothes, no love, churches where I donated millions abandoned me (big reason I am now an atheist) things was getting worse, I was so broke all I had was my name. Somehow, someone believed in me. Loaned me 3m and thT was the turning point

Have you read the account of Job?
Did you comprehend the end of his matter?

Who among you fears the LORD and obeys his servant? If you are walking in darkness, without a ray of light, trust in the LORD and rely on your God.--Isaiah 50:10

And after you have suffered for a little while, the God of all grace, who has called you to His eternal glory in Christ, will Himself restore you, secure you, strengthen you, and establish you.--1 peter 5:10

For I consider that the sufferings of this present time are not worth comparing with the glory that is to be revealed to us.--Romans 8:18

Do not give up on God because your being alive today is a tangible evidence that HE still loves you.

My sister life has dealt with me big time.

I remember some time in 2002 when I got so broke and hungry that I called a popular food hawker and secretly begged her to sell food for me once a day and I will pay her anytime I have money and surprisingly she agreed. That was a life saver cos before then I will drink water all through the day and still laugh as though all is well.

To think this was after I have seen millions but an accident in 2001 sent me back to square -10.

Oh my God! U have really been thru a lot. U see those churches that u donated millions to but abandoned u, exactly wat Ezekiel 34:2-4:
"Son of man, prophesy against the shepherds of Israel. Prophesy, and say to the shepherds, ‘This is what the Sovereign Lord Jehovah says: “Woe to the shepherds of Israel, who have been feeding themselves! Is it not the flock that the shepherds should feed? 3 You eat the fat, you clothe yourselves with the wool, and you slaughter the fattest animal, but you do not feed the flock. 4 You have not strengthened the weak or healed the sick or bandaged the injured or brought back the strays or looked for the lost;..............". U were a victim of false religion, which Jesus Christ warned us about, when he said we shld beware of the "leaven of the Pharisees an sadducees".
Besides, could u tell us wat nature of tragedy u suffered? Was it EFCC or a disaster up north? Boko haram tinz?

Sorry about it. There are still better days ahead

Thank God for that lady though. Help is always near

No no. People don't just wake up and go broke, it's a cumulative of bad decisions and excessive spending and investing without proper research because the funds was there. When I was going down daily, I knew, started going to churches and doling out what's remaining hoping that some way, somehow God won't let me go broke... Lol (if only I know better) but God shut his ears to me. Mehn...you can't understand TF I've been through. At a time trying to calm myself I slept with a girl then, got gonorrhea, the shiiiit that makes you discharge and soil your underwear. For 5 straight months or thereabout I had the f**king infection because I had no kobo for treatment something that wouldnt have passed 24hours with the right treatment....mehn it's so dark and horrible

The bolded above was your thought.

But,
"My thoughts are nothing like your thoughts," says the LORD. "And my ways are far beyond anything you could imagine.--Isaiah 55:8

For I know the plans I have for you," declares the LORD, "plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future.--Jeremiah 29:11

Others were given in exchange for you. I traded their lives for yours because you are precious to me. You are honored, and I love you.--Isaiah 43:4

If only you had paid attention to my commands, your peace would have been like a river, and your well-being like the waves of the sea.--Isaiah--48:18

Submit to God and be at peace with him; in this way all will be well with you.--Job 22:21

The ear that listens to the reproves of life abides among the wise!!!

you don't want to imagine my story. it is not a story,it is a tragedy.

RealAdewole:


Hope the story has changed now?

yes at least we are not eating olive oil and water any longer,im only sorry for my dad,even when the future looks so promising for his children,he still cant come out from his shell

I feel his pains..Still within him is the shock of disappointments from those he lest expected. Especially close pals and relatives he supported during their trying times . It is well

Adakintroy:
Poverty my master my teacher.

When my sanders would break like this I will fix it, my tv, my basins, clothes.

Expand this to a wider understanding and you may see why we fail in many things. We no longer know how to fix things. Hence we no longer inventive and we no longer have connection with things. Our old tv Served us so long, when we gave it out eventually we all felt like crying. That was for an inanimate object. It was a member of the family and we knew it.

Enter wealth and his endless power of choice. If the phone breaks, trow it away and get a new one, ...if the TV blew up, trow it away and get a new one, if the shirt needs patch, trow it away. People will laugh.

Human relationships are worst in this order. If the girl or guy is bad. Trow her away and get a new one. "I can't take this from any man or woman". There are many fishes in the sea.

We need to go back to the days when we fix things.

Wealth and too much choice is killing love and connection as should be.

Best comment ever
