Linda Ikeji
Nigerian famous blogger, Linda Ikeji has admitted that inspite of
the fact that she is not a church goer, it does not in any way affect
her relationship with God. The entrepreneur has also revealed that the
succes she has recorded in her life so far is because she communes with
him.
Linda talked about her online television project and how she has
been getting alert on her phone even when people thought the project
would fail. She said her personal closeness to God has helped her even
though she's not a churchgoer.
Read what she posted on her Instagram page moments ago:
"Every other minute, someone somewhere, in Nigeria, in the
world, is subscribing to lindaikeji.tv. Everytime I get an alert of a
payment, I mouth ‘Thank You God’. This is a venture many had doubts
would work, but God has a way of proving people wrong.
Now, I’ll like to share with you guys the secret of my success;
Hardwork and a lot of PRAYER & PRAISES. Listen, I’m not a church
goer; if I told you how many times I’ve been to church in the last 5
years, you would call me a sinner.
But here’s what I do every day I wake up; I pray to God and
then I praise Him. I never fail. Even if it’s just for a minute, I
praise Him. You know what I’ve learnt by constantly praising God? I
learnt that the more I praise Him, the more He steps into my matter; the
more I praise Him, the more He Gives me reasons & testimonies to
praise Him.
I didn’t come from riches; I’ve seen the kind of poverty I hope
many of you never see; there were days that I didn’t have food to eat;
days I would walk for miles because I didn’t have transport fare; days I
couldn’t sleep from so much sadness & worry, so much pain and
despair; days that I would worry about how I would return the N5k I
borrowed from my mum’s meager teacher’s salary; days I wondered how to
go on; when my life would turn around. I turned 30 and I was still
struggling.
But you see, in all of this, there was one thing I never
failed to do, work hard & then PRAISE Him. And for that, God faced
me one day and has since never departed from me.
Now listen to me pls. When you want to give up, when it looks
like the world has turned it’s back on you, in the midst of pain &
sorrow, please never ever fail to praise God. The praises and prayers
that come out of your mouth will cause God to step in; to fight on your
behalf. Tell Him constantly, please don’t pass me by, don’t turn your
eyes against me and then lift your hands and start to praise Him. He’s
the only one who can show His power through your storm. The only one
greater than any calamity. So keep praising Him. And keep working hard.
My prayer for you today is; may the praises of God never depart
from your mouth and may He bless the works of your hands. Have an
amazing week ahead."
