Nigerian Media Personality, Toke Makinwa has stirred up reactions on the internet, as she holds a Thanksgiving service on Sunday, October 20th amid her 40th birthday on November 3rd, in VI, Lagos.
In the spirit of celebration, Toke took to her Instagram page in a post to share a few words about her life and growth as a person.
Toke Makinwa wrote; “Over a decade and some years ago I visited my Aunt in London, she would later have this prophet come by her house to pray,
“I was too tired to join them so I stayed up in the room and away from the prayers but I got so0000 thirsty, I snuck out of the room and tip-toed towards the kitchen.
“I was silent enough or so I thought but I heard the prophetess ask if there was someone else in the house, I froze as I heard my aunt reply to her that her niece from Nigeria was indeed in the house but was asleep and the prophetess asked her to wake me up.
“My aunty caught me as I tried to run back up and pretend to be fast asleep so I gave up and walked into the living room. One look at me and the Prophetess says “Eyes haven’t seen, Ears haven’t heard what God is about to do with your life”.
“That was all. I walked away with a grudging amen cos I wasn’t sure about the direction my life was taking back then, I was jobless, confused about career options and just not in a happy place.
“Over a decade and some now and your word has come to pass Lord, thank you. The thing
about God is, that he is Faithful. He is true to his word and no matter how long it takes, it will come to pass.
“The girl you saved has come to say Thank You God has truly used my life as a channel to show off his goodness.
“If he sent forth a word over your life, wait for it. He does this little thing with time but he never misses. Today I testify of His goodness. Happy TM Thanksgiving Day. ( counting down to my birthday)”
Friends, families, colleagues and other notable influential figures were in attendance to join her in celebration of her Thanksgiving.
