Bless you my beloved. I don't know you in person but God knows you very well . The moment i went through the comments here, God ministered to me in a vision about you i saw a revelation concerned you, your family and things around you . Chid of God ,i saw God's favor, success,joy and breakthrough. Behind that i saw more spiritual attacks from the enemies, working and holding such blessings, causing your set back, but you are lifted above any spiritual tower. So the Lord is instructing you to sow a seed of faith into a motherless babies home,(orphanage) this is going to be a convenant seed between you and God . The Lord asked me to tell you before two days you should try as much as possible to sow a seed into GODSTIME ORPHANAGE MOTHERLESS babies home (orphanage) located in Nigeria to bring spiritual and devine breakthrough in your life and that of your family because there's power in sowing of seed . Contact the orphanage MD(Managing Director) on WhatsApp through this number +2347030374593. if you are done with this,let me know so i give you guidelines on how you should pray . God bless you..

On the subject of “discomfort”….. One of Americans most favorite lines is, “You hurt my feeling.” Lead down to every word can easily offends people, including no one can use “he or she” until the other party identify themselves what they prefer to be addressed.

I'm unconsciously watching this for the second time till I got towards the end because the message sounded more newer and more relevant/meaningful. And the funny thing about Chimamanda's talks you may end up writing the whole speech if you dare quotes the favorites. 🙂
