Folorunso Alakija Stopped Wearing Jewelry Following God's Direction by Brika: 12:23pm On Nov 30, 2021
Founder of Rose of Sharon Group Folorunso Alakija says she stopped using jewellery following God’s direction.

Alakija stated this on Sunday, November 28 while ministering in Lagos at the Amazing Grace Pentecostal Church’s 25th anniversary, Igbere TV reports.

She told the congregation that it took ten days for God to stop her from using jewellery.

“I used to love jewellery. I had all kinds and the jewellery had to match every cloth I wore. In those days I used to tell God not to take jewellery from me. If anybody had come to me and told me not to wear jewellery, I would not have listened to the person. I would have wondered where that person is coming from. But by the time God started dealing with me on it, I had no option but to do away with it,” she said.

The clergywoman, who is one of the richest women in Africa, said the turning point began when she started bleeding from her ear lobe while she was sleeping.

“That night I just suddenly found I was bleeding from my ear lobe. I did not sleep with earrings that night so I wondered what could have caused the bleeding. My ear lobe became sticky. When soap touched it while I was having my bath, it was hurting,” she said.

The 70-year-old has business interests in different fields such as oil and gas and fashion.

Oh God! Pls also intervene & stop many others from using expensive jewelry, expensive cars, expensive jets, even expensive coffins... & other needless luxury. Let them channel the money instead into helping the needy around them. cheesy

God help me too ,I believe your testimony ma ,my own was alcohol, for years after giving my life to Christ ,I was still drinking beer ,thinking as long as I wasn't very drunk ,am good ,it cos the church i attend doesn't preach it as sin and for me I don't see it as sin .but God dealt with me concerning it ,I kept dreaming where God is telling me to quit drinking, then I came to believe that God was on it ,when my cousin that lives in South South called me one day telling me that he dreamt where God was telling me to stop drinking alcohol..I had to struggle my way out of it by God's grace, so is possible for God to tell someone to quit even some things that seems ok to humanity, I don't know why but he is God

I have come to the conclusion that those that dress to impress 80% of them are broke.
Meanwhile, you have ppl like oshiomole who wears Khaki up and down but his bank account is in billions
Or Mark zukerberg with his grey t shirt and jeans.

Rich ppl don't dress to impress others
Only poor ppl dress to impress others

Okay..

Imagine if she was a clergywoman, she would have used her experience and God's instruction to her as a doctrine for her followers.

And it will pass on to generations.
