Every Saturday in December, on The GYM Initiative WhatsApp group, we will be having GEN Z conversations with Uncle Dee🥹
and it's free for all teenagers and young adults
Uncle Dee is one of the few prominent persons God used and is still using for me. It's going to be worth it.
Don't fret again my fans🤭, there's someone I want you to meet.
He is @deola_blaze. You want to quickly get it right without getting your hands dirty, he is the best person to talk to and now he is at your doorstep.
and now that we are in the era of "Gen Zs" if you are a teenager or young adult who wants to follow God and get it right quickly, you might just be confused as to what to believe, where to go, and how to live.
Life as a teenager/young adult isn't funny to an extent, especially when one leaves the secondary school walls.
If you have things planned out and you don't have God's backing e go jus shock you 😂.
I wish I had the kind of relationship I have with God now when I was a teen.
I started living a confused life, from someone who had his life planned out I became someone who was being pushed here and there.
Depression wan wound me🥲. I started doing things to keep myself sane. Nobody knew but I was losing my identity. Got addicted to stuff and shi.
Life looked at me and said "Dey play my fans"😂😭. I didn't know shishi.
I finished secondary school and wanted to start ticking my to-do list but nothing was working. It was disappointment upon disappointment.
I was like "My fans kilonshele😭"
I was a boarder all through my secondary school days, so I wasn't really in touch with the outside world
By the time I was in SSS2, I already had my life figured out, when I would get into uni, when I would leave, and even when I would get married😂😭
... Plus Cecilia Ihrivbogbe and the team did such an impeccably excellent delivery.
So, here's cheers to the first of hundred TED talks😄😇🥂
#tedtalk#tedxspeaker
Two weekends ago, I was honored to deliver my first TED talk at TEDxIyanaIyesi.
I spoke on the topic 'MAYBE WE WEREN'T DESIGNED TO BE JUST ONE THING'.
Truthfully, many of us identify with many things - we are a bundle of things, passions, potentials, and dreams...
Why choose to sacrifice a deep level of fulfilment and maximization of your true self on the altar of please some whispers that aren't proved standards?
Beyond giving my first TED talk, I sure had a swell time listening to other speakers and presenters...
Please, keep praying. Keep seeking.
And most importantly, keep yielding to the instructions and molding of the Holy Spirit. In all, it must be a deliberate journey. Enjoy the process!
So, I've countlessly heard people say things that sound like: "You're a Christian and you pray so loud, you even pray in tongues but your character is bad, and you do this and that, please, shut your mouth, stop praying and fix your bad attitude"
Haaaaaaaa, Really???
Too dirty to meet the Cleanser to take a wash?
Then how will you be cleansed?
Too ill to meet the Physician to heal you?
Then, how will the healing come?
Too broken to meet the Fixer to fix you?
Then, how will the fixing come?
