Hmmmmm
Dunsin Oyekan has truly faced the biggest life events that can ever happen to anyone
Loss of a parent
Loss of a spouse
Fatal car accident
.
.
And still, he goes about his divine assignment with so much Godly conviction and incredible impact
He gives hope to people, not because he just can... But because he knows first-hand what it means to be shattered and uncertain
Lost his wife and was faced with the harsh uncertainty of how he was going to raise his children without their mother
Lost his father, and he would have felt the deep pain of losing an experienced figure in the same ministry and calling that he is also into
Then his fatal accident would have left a part of him really wanting the human closure from his late wife and his late father

Now for you reading this...
I don't know what you have faced in life, and I can't tell you how to react to them
But what I can tell you is to look at Dunsin Oyekan's life and draw hope from him.
Dunsin Oyekan is here with us today, pushing through and never losing focus on his assignment and life's purpose.
And he is able to do this because he integrates himself in an enabling environment (physically and spiritually)
.
.
He didn't isolate himself
He didn't box himself and hide under his shell
.
.
Instead, he related more with God and with Godly people around him.
Dined with them. Sang with them. Danced with them. Prayed with them. Laughed with them.
And that's something you can do this week
.
.
Be around people that matter. People that make it worthwhile to smile again.
People that make you not just feel good, but feel good and hopeful about yourself.
.
.
People that would make sure you don't lose your divine clarity, despite all what has happened or is happening to you
God cares for you.
And sometimes, he sends people to give you that care and warmth you need
Dunsin Oyekan had people that cared. He still does.
You also can. And if you feel you don't, why don't you pray to God right now to know
.
.
Have a great week ahead 🫂
God be with you and go ahead of you this week ❤️
