Amb. Grace Samuel✨

Purity is not outdated.

My name is Zainab. I’m 27 years old. An SS. That is, I live with sickle cell disease. My parents are both AS. Oh, they They knew. They were told. They still married. They said God approved it. They said love would be enough. They said faith would cover the consequences. I am the consequence. I was diagnosed before I was two. My childhood memories are not playgrounds or cartoons,they are; hospitals, needles, and adults whispering when they thought I couldn’t hear. In primary school, I missed classes so often that teachers stopped asking why. Some classmates thought I was pretending. Some thought I was cursed. I learned early how to smile while feeling different. By secondary school, the pain episodes became more frequent. I would wake up excited for school and end the day on a hospital bed. I watched my mates grow normally while my life moved in pauses, school, hospital, recovery, repeat. At 15, I lost my younger brother to sickle cell. We were both SS. That day changed me forever. My parents broke down in front of me — crying, apologizing, saying “We followed faith. We didn’t think…” But the damage had already been done. Sometimes I forgive them. Sometimes I resent them deeply. Both feelings live in me. In university, I tried to be normal. I joined sickle cell advocacy groups, volunteered with awareness organizations, spoke at events, encouraged parents to test their genotype. People call me strong. They call me a warrior. What they don’t see is me crying alone at night after another silent pain episode. They don’t see the fear that comes with planning a future in a body that doesn’t always cooperate. And Relationships? That’s another wound. I’ve been loved… briefly. The moment conversations turn serious about marriage, children, commitment….they leave. Some are honest. Some ghost me. Some promise forever and disappear quietly. One man once said he would do anything for me. He talked about taking me abroad, better care, a life without fear. I believed him. For the first time, my heart rested. Then one day, he stopped calling. That heartbreak triggered one of the worst crises I’ve had as an adult. Not because of physical stress but because hope collapsed. Now I’m older. The pain episodes come differently. Less dramatic, but more exhausting. My body recovers slower. My fears are heavier. I ask myself questions my parents never asked each other. I am strong, yes. But I am tired. If you are AS and the person you love is AS, please love your unborn children enough to stop and think. Faith is not a license to ignore knowledge. I am a proof to that I didn’t ask to be a lesson. But if my life can prevent another child from being born into avoidable pain, then my voice matters. That’s why I’m writing this to you. Because people listens to you and this story needs to be heard. I hope that your audience share this till it reaches those who are about to walk by faith and not by sight, Sickle Cell is real!. Adeyinka, keep rescuing lives, I love how you raise awareness and say the truth unapologetically, those who do not like you are probably those who wish they could be you. Have you met you?. Oh,I see you Queen Ade💪🏻

The weight of who you are, no words can carry 😭😭😭😭🥹🥹

The most attractive quality a man can have is the fear of God. Without this, no other quality matters.

“I am crucified with Christ: nevertheless I live; yet not I, but Christ liveth in me: and the life which I now live in the flesh I live by the faith of the Son of God, who loved me, and gave himself for me.” Galatians 2:20 KJV

Me: *alarm rings by 1am* *turns it off and goes back to sleep. Decides that 1 am cannot work, changes time to 4am.* *Next week* Me: *alarm rings by 4am* wakes up, mutter a few words, decided to reschedule and goes back to sleep. *After some days* Me: “Dear Abba, in any way…”

In the process of being a woman whose heart is so close to God that a man will have to chase Him (God) to find me.✨

“But as it is written, Eye hath not seen, nor ear heard, Neither have entered into the heart of man, The things which God hath prepared for them that love him.” 1 Corinthians 2:9 KJV

Example: "You lost your job" Sympathy: Chai, sorry oh my bro, life funny. God will do it again...and they move on, no follow-up, no help, just pity. Comfort: That friend who comes over, brings you dodo, talks to you, updates your CV, sends job links, and says, Omotayo, we go dey alright, this one na temporary gbege, make we work on your CV sharp sharp.

@oguntoyeayomid3 Yes and it’s been sooo eye opening and amazing. Funny how I’ve done this before but this time, it’s different

@gracee_ps Also studying the book of Esther?

Realized that Haman did not notice that Mordecai wasn’t bowing down to him and was a Jew, until Mordecai’s colleague went to report him to Haman. Please be careful about those around you, and the kind of information you share. Esther 3:2-5

2 Though we pass through tribulation, all will be well. Ours is such a full salvation, all, all is well. Happy, still in God confiding, fruitful, if in Christ abiding, holy, through the Spirit’s guiding, all must be well.

Is God against prosperity? No. However, you must not pursue wealth and prosperity at the expense of your soul. Day 2 Welcome Service #TheOvercomers #RCCGAnnualConvention2025 #RCCG
