Go To The Stern of The Ship

I don’t really know much about the parts of a ship so I cannot say if the stern of every ship is a resting point. What I can say though is that the stern of ship where Jesus lay, asleep in the midst of a storm, was a place of faith, trust, peace and rest.

Christian LivingPersonal Introduction

Why You Should Talk with Grace Obomanu.

I walked into a Nigerian children’s shop some days ago; needed to replace my girls’ lunch bags. After picking and fitting a set of lunch boxes into 2 Thermos lunch bags, I was satisfied because the girls have a similar set of lunch boxes at home, or so I thought. I got home about 30 minutes later only to realize that I’d had a memory lapse; I changed to a new set of lunch boxes the previous term. So this new purchase was a misfit. I immediately asked my driver to return them and possibly be refunded because having looked through the shop, there were not many other choices for a swap. All these happened within one hour. Despite my efforts at explaining to the shop owner via phone call that I’d really appreciate a refund, she refused to take the bags back, insisting that I must pick any other thing. To say I was furious and disappointed is to say the least. I have shopped with this lady for as long as 10 years with no record of ugly occurrences!  I was being arm-twisted into making a useless purchase and I didn’t like that.

Why tell this story? Because the title of this blog post seems persuasive and compelling, a little similar to the shopping experience I just narrated.    🙂  Forgive me, but that’s not the intention. This blogpost simply aims to share with you what Talk with Grace Obomanu is all about, how it started and what The Lord Jesus has been doing through TWGO.

Sometime in May, 2014 I’d gone for my monthly spa routine. As I lay on the couch waiting for the skin exfoliation part of my facials, God gave me a vision. It was huge, it was scary and it was unbelievable. I will not burden you with the details ….afterall its My vision from God 🙂  .

Suffice to say however, that ‘Talk with Grace Obomanu’ was a part of that vision. First, as far as I was concerned, it sounded foolish to make and stick signposts with ‘Talk with Grace Obomanu’ on streets around my city, which was part of what I heard in my spirit. Something I have never imagined or thought of doing before!  Not that I was bored and needed something else to do. I was fully employed and serving in a very challenging role at the time (overseeing 350+ health facilities across my State). I was also undertaking a Master’s degree programme with a UK Top University in addition to my family and Church obligations and commitments. I was sufficiently challenged and fully occupied.

It took me approximately 11 months from when I first perceived TWGO in my spirit to go live on Facebook with it! and another 2 years to realize that by going live on Facebook with TWGO, I was actually putting up signposts around the world. All along I would often ‘apologize’ to God to bear with me about the signpost bit, as it wasn’t clear to me at all and actually did sound ridiculous. Nobody knows me, nobody will call me for counsel or trust me with their deepest secrets.

Before going live on Facebook with the TWGO page, I booked an appointment to meet with my Pastor.  No! you’re wrong! It wasn’t to discuss TWGO. In fact at this time, I’d pushed that vision ‘safely’ out of my mind. I went to see my Pastor because I needed counsel and direction about the burden of God’s word constantly popping up in my mind and the sweet and amazing revelations and in-depth understanding they came with. I would type almost unstoppably on my Ipad, just to clear my head. I thought I had a call to preach!  Infact, on the 2nd of January, 2015, I knelt down by my bedside and told God that I receive His call even though it wasn’t exactly clear to me. That brought some peace. Who knows? I may still preach……if The Lord wills and directs.    🙂

The meeting with my Pastor was after ‘I accepted God’s call’.  I am thankful that God gave me an answer of peace through that meeting. I understood that God’s call may not always be to preach and secondly, God will make His call clearer with time.

I started TWGO writing up and sharing questions and problems people contacted me about in the past and the solutions I’d proffered. The whole idea was to guide people about how the page would work. In no time, people were sending in their personal questions and requests. This was awesome! I also got a ‘YES’ response from 2 brethren whom I believe The Lord directed me to invite to become co-publishers on the page. These were 2 well-seasoned believers!  They thankfully accepted my invitation. Again, this was awesome! Let me just say at this point that I deeply appreciate the support of these true lovers of Jesus Christ. We remain united and focused on the vision of TWGO and have by our constant communication become strong and reliable support for one another. Praise God.

The first fallout of starting TWGO is the Graceobomanu’s Blog. As I spend time in God’s word; reading and meditating on Him, I get  so excited and the blogsite provides a structured social-media friendly storehouse for all my thoughts and divine insights which I can readily share with others.  It’s always exciting writing on the blog.

The blogsite went on live on March 2, 2016. So far I have written 69 articles and published 46. The remaining 23 are drafts at different levels of completion.  Statistics on the blog show readers from across the continents of the world. Awesome!

So what is TWGO?

TWGO simply means Talk with Grace Obomanu. You can find an introductory post on Grace Obomanu in the maiden blog post; “This is  Graceobomanu’s blog” (at: http://www.graceobomanu.com /blogsite/this-is-graceobomanus-blog-welcome)

TWGO is an online talk-page that runs presently on Facebook and can be reached at:   https:web.facebook.com/graceobomanu.org .

*Copy and paste any of the url addresses provided to access the materials. 

On TWGO you have access to simple, practical and divinely inspired solutions and insights for everyday real life issues. My 2 contributing writers regularly share easy to read teachings on God’s word.

After turning down a few requests for publication on the page, I recently welcomed ‘Moment with Jesus Org.’ to publish every Wednesday.  I am glad to have them on the page as we work together to spread the good news about Christ’s Kingdom.

TWGO has a total of 4,451 followers presently from around the world.  Most of these are young men and women of African descent, but like I constantly hear in my spirit; ‘Grace, they won’t be so young in the next 10 years’!

Initially we sent out invitations for people to join the community, but we have not needed to do that in recent times. We find that as we share God’s word on the page, people just follow us on their own without any invitation. This is also awesome!

I believe that TWGO is providing positive social change to its community as people receive Godly wisdom and insights for daily living. As a strong believer in the experience of a positive change for anyone who dares to believe, the encouragement, counsel, wisdom and insights provided on TWGO through God’s word are guaranteed to bring about positive change. I know this!

Since inception, TWGO have shared 58 Real Life Issues on the page and attended to many others privately. We have sometimes been led to make phone calls to some of our followers and have received good testimonies of their ability to handle their challenges given the support we provide. We have also occasionally provided financial support to people in one need or the other. This has been more than rewarding!  In addition to sharing articles from Graceobomanu’s blog through the TWGO page, my contributing writers have written and published numerous teachings on God’s word, which have been quite engaging as we regularly receive awesome responses from readers.

Our publications reach thousands of people wherever we choose and even more  🙂    This we are able to do when we ‘boost’ the posts and increase its reach and delivery. We do this FREE of charge, although, altogether we have invoice from Facebook totaling $365 USD as at May 2, 2017. We have fully paid for this and do not owe a dime.

I am thankful for what The Lord Jesus is doing through TWGO. But I am even more excited about the vision God gave me. It’s Big, it’s Great and it’s for the Good of mankind.  Join us on TWGO and become part of God’s great move in these times.

You can pray for us regularly.

You can join us in the TWGO Community. It’s easy! Just like the page and you’re in.

You can invite your friends and acquaintances to follow us.

You can direct people to us for counsel. (We get this often)

You can send us articles based on God’s word. We will publish these if they meet our terms and conditions.

You can also provide us with financial support. $1 is just enough to get a Godly post or counsel to as much as 1,000 persons in different locations.

Whatever you decide to do, contact us by using the ‘Message’ button on the page.

Stay blessed.

My love always.

Grace Obomanu.
