WE ARE FRUITFUL

My heart is broken'...'it didn't work out again'....'how do I handle this hurt?'... 'who can I talk to?'....'who would understand?'....'who would hug me and give me hope?'...'who will voice out the heartfelt prayers in my heart choked with tears??'.

Those were the exact thoughts going through my head that night as a young student at the Nigeria Law school in December 2010. I needed answers. I needed love. I needed hope. But...there was NO one. No one I could trust. No one I could rely on. I desired and longed for so much, but there was NO one. My mind was full of thoughts of millions of ladies going through similar pain,ladies looking for help but had NO one. I desperately wanted a forum that will help me blossom,fluorish,abound,bloom, I wanted to be heard, I wanted to be understood, I wanted to flourish and I wanted to be FRUITFUL.

Wiping my tears, I went on my phone and started a BBM Group and called it 'Fruitful Sisters', I didn't know what to expect, I didn't know how it would turn out, but I kept scrolling through my phone looking for honorable, virtuous and trustworthy ladies.

Remember that night I believed NO one was available? God was there. All the while He was there, stirring up something even greater and more fascinating than the hurt I felt at that time. From a night of tears, joy did come in the morning, Fruitful sisters was birth.

It's been five years of immense love and impact. There have been arguments, fights and disagreements. Sisters have come and gone, but there have been more moments of joy , love, celebration, hugs, kisses, testimonies and miracles. God has blessed us immensely by bringing women with the right heart for Him together. Women who would go the extra mile for one another, women who would abandon self to help the other, women who would cry with each other, dance with each other and, most importantly, pray with each other.

When you meet a Fruitful sister,what you are sure to find is a woman who is a true believer, totally submitted to Christ and deliberate about sharing the love of God. That is our brand!

In Fruitful sisters, we fight! We make no excuses, we find ways through our obstacles, we don't waver when we are weak, we don't cower when circumstances change because greater is He that lives in us than He that is in the world. We pursue, overtake and recover everything that the enemy has come to kill,steal and destroy in our lives,and even if we lose the battle we always win the war because we are more than conquerors through Him that has loved us.

We are raised to life with Christ and we reign with Him because we look to Him for strength. We reject the lies dat echo in our minds, the lies that tell us we don't have what it takes, that we cannot survive trials, that our best is behind or that humiliation awaits.

Our God ALWAYS causes us to triumph. We are unashamed to represent a kingdom that is unshakeable. By faith we activate every promise God has given us.
We are Fruitful Sisters.
