My driver’s love and divorce testimony – Life and death in the tongue

~ Mr. Streetz ~ 1 Comment

I was traveling recently and got into a discussion with my elderly driver. He’s driven me so many times before but I’ve never really had a personal discussion with him until today. It started with me asking about his plans for Christmas, to which he responded that he would be spending it with his children. I then enquired about his wife. The answer to this question led to one of the most inspiring faith stories I’ve heard in a while. I also learnt some important life lessons from a 62-yr old about the power of our words when young in shaping our life. I hope it encourages you.

Testimony – Faith and works – A visa story

~ Mr. Streetz ~ 4 Comments

“I believe that there is a God! I’ve faced lucky situations in my life before but with you, it’s always so miraculous!”. That's what the assistant said when she experienced live with me how God instantly turned around a highly stressful visa situation. I encourage you to keep trusting Him and know that: 1) God hears your prayers (even the silent ones); 2) don't stop trusting Him, particularly when you've seen Him come through for you before; 3) when God moves, it's the perfect move; 4) always back up your faith with works. I hope you're encouraged. God bless you!

Testimony – The Sabbath and the testing of my faith

~ Mr. Streetz ~ 4 Comments

If you were unemployed, spent a year waiting to get a job and finally got your first offer, would you do anything that could jeopardize that offer, assuming everything about the offer seemed perfectly fine? Well, that's exactly what I did. I took a step of faith by raising the issue of keeping the Sabbath just before I signed, and the offer was pulled. The testimony is in what happened next. God bless you.

A testimony: Victorinox – Appreciating God’s foresight

~ Mr. Streetz ~ 2 Comments

This is the story of my persistent search for a solution to an annoying problem, how God used a decision made twelve years ago to provide a solution that not only saved me but also helped me discover that He was guiding my steps all those years ago. This testimony helped me understand what God meant when He said: "Cast your bread upon the waters, for you will find it after many days." Keep reading...

You want to bamba? A God and COVID testimony…

~ Mr. Streetz ~ 1 Comment

'Detty decemba' they called it. "You want to bamba?" 🕺🏾 was the tune of the moment - a catchy song which came out of nowhere to dominate the Afrobeat genre in late 2021 and compete with Ed Sheeran/Fireboy DML's "Peru" as song of the month world over. You're probably wondering where I'm going with this? Basically, I visited Nigeria in December which is probably the best time of the year to be in Lagos as the city is always so vibrant and full of life. But a week into my trip, the Rona came visiting - it started with a sore throat that fateful morning, subsequent to which I took a lateral flow test which returned positive. I was shocked to say the least. Me, covid? How? 😨 I'd been taking all necessary precautions (or so I thought) - meds, masked up, sanitizing, washing hands etc. But all that didn't matter - I had caught COVID-19. 😭 In my shock I did two more tests that day and over the next two days, all of which returned positive. And that was where my travails began, bringing my holiday to an abrupt end.

Testimonies – Corona or not, GOD is still moving!

~ Mr. Streetz ~ 1 Comment

Tonight I just want to share two stories that encouraged me this week. 2020 has taken turns absolutely noone expected and it's easy for one to question everything and wonder if anything in this life is worth holding on to. For me, I continue to find that God is the one factor that remains unchanged. But why? How?

My testimony (part 1) – why this site exists

Featured ~ Mr. Streetz ~ 1 Comment

Life. The journey we are all on. Different paths leading each of us on varied experiences. We rise, we fall and hope to share our story to the benefit of someone else. Mine is a story of persistence. Persistence in hoping and trusting in God, believing I could achieve what others thought impossible. The first was believing I could get into a top global business school without the ideal GMAT score. I sat that 2011 Saturday in Church with the MBA dream still in its infancy and I heard a voice - 'you will go for your MBA, free of charge'. Yes I did hear a voice. And so the journey began - a 5-year waiting season.
