One day in March 2022, I woke up from a terrifying vision in which I had seen the woman I was to marry. The marriage was to happen without delay.
Good news, right?
Wrong.
It was the last thing I wanted and this was not the only reason I was scared.

First, the woman God showed me was a total stranger. I had only seen her a few times and had never interacted with her. We had nothing in common or so I thought.
Moreover, my life was a mess. I was broke and couldn't take care of myself let alone someone else's dear daughter.

My earnings were barely enough to get by.
The summary of my life was this:
Name: Minke Okoi
Employment record: Underpaid manager of a medical lab.
Accommodation: A small self contain, no TV, no bed (I used my duvet as my bed).
balance: Zero Naira.

You're right. I was the poorest guy in the neighborhood and the last man any lady in their right senses would want to marry.
So, you see why the vision of marriage was so scary?
Anyway, when I woke up that morning, I had a meeting with myself.

I asked myself several questions I didn't have answers to.
The decision of that meeting was that there would be no marriage talk.
"That dream was the result of some malaria parasites in my bloodstream," I told myself.

One day, I mistakenly ran my mouth off to my spiritual head about the vision. She told me God had told her the same thing and was only waiting for me to hear from God too. I was shocked. She asked me to prepare for my wedding.
Again, I had a shockwave of adrenaline-induced panic.

One fateful day, I summoned the courage to approach the young lady and did the weirdest marriage proposal in history. It went like this:
Hello, my name is Minke. I am interested in marrying you but I don't have a penny to my name anywhere in the world.
That's what I said, literally.

Amazingly, she accepted. This was a bit confusing because honesty, I had hoped she'd say no but she didn't. I was both happy and sad at the same time.

I gathered all my life savings and took her home to see my parents. They seemed a lot more pleased about the whole marriage thing than I was.
That night, while the world slept blissfully, I had the most unpleasant discussion with my dad.
He asked how I was going to pull it off.
I told him I was only counting on my faith in God.
Papa gave me some good advice. He encouraged and assured me that everything was going to work out fine.
I left home a happy man.
I didn't know the trip to Ugep was the leap of faith I needed to unlock what God has for my.

We returned to Abuja and made plans to go see my girl's people and God took over from that point or rather, He showed His hand from that point.
We did the intro, trad, registry and church wedding without spending a dime of our money.
Wondering how?

Well, that's something I can't explain till date. I mean, writing about it still causes me to shiver at God's abundant love and grace to those who seek him.

People from all over the country, some that I never knew from anywhere, took up all the expenses. Someone even paid for 4 days lodging at a very expensive hotel for our honeymoon.
I saw God fitting all the pieces together, even the tiniest pieces, to perfect our wedding plans.

I thank God for my wife, Queensly. If you read this, I thank you for accepting to take that leap of faith with me. It has been a remarkable journey with you. You have motivated me to fight and win great battles side by side with you.
I wouldn't dream of a better life without you.

The summary of my story is that if God gives you a vision, run with it while trusting Him to work out the details.
God is Good. He is gracious and kind.

I used my laptop borrow #250,000 from my sister last year November to pay back on December.
So during Xmas when we get to village me andy sister,and it happens that my sister wanted to dash out mother some money the day we were to come back from villa,and her bank app wasn't opening and mine was opening so she asked me to send my mother the sum of #100,000 on her behalf and I did.
I couldn't repay her the remaining #150,000 I told her to continue keeping that my laptop in her custody till I am able to repay her back the remaining #150k.
My sister agreed and because she is into communication so she put that my laptop to work by using it to do NIN stuff in her shop,so technically she has bought the laptop for 150k since it is serving her in doing her business.
So last 3 months Ago, something came up and it happens that Nimc has blocked nearly all their agents access to NIN and is requesting that any agent ready to do NIN should renew his/her license with certain amount of money,and that the agent is to get a combo device from MTN,no longer a laptop.
So after getting the combo (the device MTN uses in sim reg and welcome back)and after renewing her license my sister dumped my laptop in her shop.
So there was this one day her little kid came to her shop and wanted to play with that my laptop,so my sis took the laptop home and kept it in her wardrobe.One Sunday like that came and went to her house,and after Sunday afternoon merriment with some of our family who equally came to her house from church, something came up.
A discussion about gadgets came up and as we were arguing between Mac book pro and other laptops,she now re that my laptop and went to her wardrobe and bring it out,and ask me to take it back,and I told her that I don't have her 150k to give her now,she told me to just take it,that it's of no use in her wardrobe since she ain't making use of it.
I ask her on what grounds,is it to pay back later or by installments,she said I should forget paying her back and use the 150k to help build my business.
I thanked her,and equally thanked her husband,they gave me the laptop and the charger with mouse together.
This is me receiving something huge like this for a very long time.

Thank God for your sister.

My own testimony goes like this,,, when I was coming from Jos to Yola on our way along gombe road God averted what would have been a head on collision,,what happened is that a trailer just coming towards our direction and ed by and in seconds the bonnet of our bus flip up to block the windscreen of our bus thereby blocking the view of the driver,,,God Almighty saved everyone on that bus that day and we arrived safely,,,,to God alone be the glory..

I slept feeling sick last night. But before bed, the Holy Spirit moved me to see some healing testimonies on youtube. I watched a number of them and slept not expecting anything yet. But, halleluha, I woke up strong this morning, very strong with my apetite restored

I'm only here for chosen testimony

Sufficient Grace all around me and my family

I woke up healthy.

Plenty

Lol , that's not a miracle nah

Don't wait for miracle before you will give a testimony

I'm thrilled to share how God's faithfulness has transformed my life. Despite my slow pace in life, school, and National Youth Service Corps (NYSC), I landed a job at MFB after NYSC. However, the role came with daunting targets, and the stress of marketing in Lagos streets took a toll on my health. I lost weight and felt overwhelmed.

After six months, I decided to resign and return to my mom. I submitted my resignation letter to HR on Monday, feeling uncertain about my future. But God had other plans. Just two days later, on Wednesday, I received an interview invitation. Among 18 candidates vying for the same role, I doubted my chances.

Yet, God's grace shone through! I attended the interview, and to my astonishment, I received the job offer with an impressive benefits package. Tears of joy streamed down my face as I read the email. This marks the beginning of my financial freedom journey!

I'm deeply grateful to God, who has been my rock throughout. His faithfulness is unwavering, and I attribute every success to Him. My story is a testament to God's goodness, and I'll forever praise Him!
