When a young man wants to propose to a young lady, he might choose to package the engagement ring in a beautiful attractive and alluring box. The box, inspire of how beautiful it looks, is not the main gift, his target is to deliver the contents of the box to the lady he loves.

When you read John 3:16 very well, you see a picture of a God who wanted so much to express His love for mankind through a very precious gift. God packaged this wonderful gift in a man, His Son, Jesus Christ. When you receive Jesus, you become a custodian of this previous gift from God.

What’s the Priceless gift of John 3:16?

Eternal life.

When you receive Jesus into your life as your Lord and Saviour, you receive eternal life.

What’s Eternal Life?

Eternal life is not life in eternity, no, it is here and now. It is a special kind of life, it is everlasting life, never-ending life, continuous life. It is life as God has it.

So in Jesus, God gave man His own life. That same life Adam carelessly lost in Eden due to disobedience, is restored to every man who believes in Jesus Christ.

Benefits of Eternal Life

Being born of God’s Spirit and having His life means you can relate with God freely, you can have fellowship with God because instead being spiritually dead, you are spiritually alive and can commune at that level with God (1John 1:1).

Eternal life keeps you safe from the destroyer (John 10:28).

Eternal life strengthens you to overcome the evil one (1John 4:4).

Being born of God’s Spirit and having God’s life seals you to God (Ephesians 1:13). You are recognized as belonging to God every time and everywhere.

The spirit of God in you, is a steady supply of life to your otherwise perishing body (Romans 8:11).

I am so thankful to God for His gift of eternal life in Christ Jesus.

Halleluyah! Praise God

Testimonials

“Dr. Grace is a seasoned and inspiring writer and positive blogger. I admire her style of expressing the truth in simple terms. She has consistently been a source of inspiration to many. I don’t know how she does it…balancing family, ministry and work, and being excellent on all fronts. I guess the answer is in her name…Grace!

I have also known her as a passionate public health physician. She is daring and resolute in making a public health impact. She is a go-getter yet courteous and emotionally intelligent.
Thus, I gladly and unreservedly give Grace a 5-star rating for striving for excellence in her service to humanity.

My encounter with graceobomanu’s blog dates back to 2018. I remember the post centered on putting on the armour of God. Wow…you can’t help but notice her masterfully crafted blend of spiritual truth interspersed with humour, yet very simple and profound. I have followed her posts from then on. I see an intentional pattern of projecting the truth of God’s word consistent with the finished work of Christ, which has endeared me to her blog. This is the real deal if you are looking for a breath of fresh air!

Circa, 2018 I was drowning in so many crises ranging from marital to health, to financial to academic.

I was thrown into confusion, not knowing what more to do. Then an acquaintance introduced me to the Grace Obomanu Foundation (GOF).

From times of counselling to actual financial intervention, I began to gradually pick myself up.

At this point also, I had just started a Master’s programme and without even asking, the foundation sent me a mini laptop which actually came one month before my classes began. It was divine intervention.

I stand to acknowledge the great benefits that the foundation has brought into my life.

My appreciation is profound

My experience with Dr. Grace of TWGO has been quite fulfilling and nothing short of amazing. I found her by chance, or so I thought, after seeking someone neutral to discuss critical issues with. I made enquiries with several counsellors and TWGO were the first to respond. After an initial consultation I was booked in for the following day. I haven’t looked back since and have really benefited from my sessions. I now realise my coming across TWGO was not coincidental. They are word-based, non-judgmental and so empathetic. You leave the sessions feeling like you have really progressed and the advice is real and not fluffy talk. I would recommend TWGO to every and anyone wanting to find the tools required to move to the next level of their emotional journey and experience wholeness.

I have known Dr Grace Obomanu long before she started the Grace Obomanu blog. We attended the same church. We were not that close but i had an admiration for her composure. In 2016 i started reading her posts on fb and was very intrigued by the refreshing but simple ways in which she revealed truths in the scriptures. Her style of dealing with knotty topics without deviating from God’s word got me hooked. So it was a privilege and honor to be invited to be part of the The Word with Grace Obomanu Team. One major thing i learnt from her is to stick with the word in counselling and not your feelings or opinions. Sometimes she reasons with God”s word and her humility in succumbing to God’s word never ceases to amaze me. That has helped me in confronting and overcoming issues in my life and in counselling others…..no matter how knotty or trivial the issue are. Her ministry has helped my faith to be settled and grounded. All i can simply say is here is a woman who simply knows her Lord and His word and stakes her life on Him!

I have had the privilege of knowing Dr. Grace Obomanu for more than 15 years, and I cannot stress enough what an exceptional individual she is. Her true nature may not be immediately apparent until you have the opportunity to interact with her. I was particularly taken aback when she started blogging because it revealed a side of her that I had never seen before.

It brings me immense joy to provide this testimonial for her, as she exemplifies the qualities of being composed, diligent, and having an unwavering passion for God.

First and foremost, Dr. Grace is one of the most poised and tranquil individuals I have ever encountered. Regardless of the situation or circumstances, she always maintains a calm and collected demeanor. Her ability to stay composed, even in the face of challenges, is truly admirable. This tranquility enables her to approach problems and obstacles with a clear mind, making her an outstanding problem solver and an invaluable asset to any team or project.

Furthermore, she epitomizes diligence. She possesses an incredible work ethic and an unwavering drive to excel in everything she undertakes. I have personally witnessed her unwavering dedication and determination, and it is truly inspiring.

As she continues to pursue her unique purpose, I pray that God will continue to uphold her and multiply grace in her life. O. E. Port Harcourt. Nigeria.
