Testimony is a declaration of what God has done in someone’s life. It serves as a witness to His grace, mercy, and power, encouraging others in their faith. In the Bible, testimonies are often shared to glorify God, spread His truth, and inspire others to trust Him.

Testimonies remind us that God's power and presence are real, working in the lives of His people both in biblical times and today.

Biblical Evidences of Testimony

The Bible repeatedly shows how testimonies can bring hope and salvation to others.

Below are some key verses on testimony:

Revelation 12:11 (KJV): “And they overcame him by the blood of the Lamb, and by the word of their testimony; and they loved not their lives unto the death.”
This verse highlights the power of testimony in spiritual warfare, showing that testimonies, along with the sacrifice of Christ, help believers overcome evil.

Psalm 66:16 (KJV): “Come and hear, all ye that fear God, and I will declare what he hath done for my soul.”
The psalmist invites others to hear his testimony, illustrating the importance of sharing personal experiences of God’s work in our lives.

John 4:39 (KJV): “And many of the Samaritans of that city believed on him for the saying of the woman, which testified, He told me all that ever I did.”
The testimony of the Samaritan woman led many to believe in Christ, showing how personal experiences with God can inspire faith in others.

1 John 5:10 (KJV): “He that believeth on the Son of God hath the witness in himself: he that believeth not God hath made him a liar; because he believeth not the record that God gave of his Son.”
This verse emphasizes that every believer carries a testimony within them, which is a reflection of their faith in Jesus Christ.

Isaiah 43:10-12 (KJV): “Ye are my witnesses, saith the Lord, and my servant whom I have chosen: that ye may know and believe me, and understand that I am he: before me there was no God formed, neither shall there be after me.”
God calls His people to be His witnesses, to testify of His works and His unique authority as the one true God.

Real-Life Stories of Testimony

Testimonies in modern life reflect the same power and grace of God that we see in the Bible. Here are some compelling real-life stories of how God’s intervention has transformed lives:

Healing from Terminal Illness

Sarah, a mother of three, was diagnosed with a rare, aggressive form of cancer. Doctors gave her little hope, but her faith in God remained unshaken. She began attending a small prayer group in her church, where she and others prayed fervently for healing. Over time, as treatments progressed, doctors were astonished to find the cancer had stopped growing. Eventually, it disappeared entirely. Her healing was declared medically unexplainable. Sarah’s testimony not only deepened her faith but also inspired others in the church, showing them the power of prayer and divine healing.

Financial Breakthrough in Despair

John had been unemployed for nearly a year after his company shut down. With no job prospects and a family to feed, he began losing hope. Despite the circumstances, he continued to attend church services and pray for God’s provision. One day, after sharing his struggles with a small group during a service, he received an unexpected phone call. A former colleague had recommended him for a high-paying position in a company he had never applied to. He was hired within a week. John's testimony of how God provided for him when all seemed lost uplifted many in the congregation, reminding them that God opens doors no man can shut.

Freedom from Addiction

Peter had been battling alcohol addiction for over a decade. His marriage was falling apart, and he had lost several jobs because of his drinking. Desperate for change, he began attending a local church where he heard sermons about God’s power to break every chain. He reached out to the pastor, who began praying with him regularly. Slowly, Peter’s desire for alcohol diminished, and he found strength to resist temptation. Today, Peter is sober, reconciled with his family, and a leader in his church’s addiction recovery program. His testimony has inspired others struggling with addiction, showing that with God, freedom is possible.

Protection from a Deadly Accident

Amina, a new convert with a small congregation was on her way to work one morning when her car spun out of control during a rainstorm. She collided with another vehicle, and the impact was so severe that both cars were totaled. Witnesses expected the worst, but miraculously, Amina walked away from the crash with only minor scratches. Reflecting on the incident, she recalled praying for protection before leaving her house that morning and the previous day at church been Sunday. Her testimony of God's divine protection spread through her church and neighborhood, reminding everyone of God’s ever-present hand of safety.

In conclusion, testimonies hold incredible power, both in the Bible and in modern life. They remind us that God is always at work, providing healing, deliverance, provision, and protection. Sharing testimonies, as seen in scripture, strengthens faith, inspires others, and gives glory to God. In every believer’s life, there is a story to tell—one that reveals the goodness of God. Whether through healing, financial breakthroughs, or freedom from addiction, testimonies show that God's power is alive and active in the world today.

The mandates for us to share our testimonies as human being

In the Bible, believers are not only encouraged but often commanded to share their testimonies.

These personal accounts of God's intervention, healing, and provision serve to spread the gospel, uplift others, and glorify God. The following key scriptures show the importance of sharing testimonies and the biblical basis for doing so

Mark 5:19 (KJV)
“Go home to thy friends, and tell them how great things the Lord hath done for thee, and hath had compassion on thee.”
After healing a man possessed by demons, Jesus commanded him to return to his people and share what God had done. This shows that testimonies are meant to be shared to inspire others about God’s compassion and power.

Matthew 28:19-20 (KJV)
“Go ye therefore, and teach all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Ghost: Teaching them to observe all things whatsoever I have commanded you.”
Known as the Great Commission, Jesus commands His disciples to spread the gospel to all nations. This mandate includes sharing personal testimonies of how Christ has transformed lives as a way to lead others to faith and obedience.

Psalm 107:2 (KJV)
“Let the redeemed of the Lord say so, whom he hath redeemed from the hand of the enemy.”
This verse instructs those who have been redeemed by God to declare it publicly. It emphasizes that those who have experienced God’s deliverance are obligated to testify of His goodness and salvation.

Acts 1:8 (KJV)
“But ye shall receive power, after that the Holy Ghost is come upon you: and ye shall be witnesses unto me both in Jerusalem, and in all Judaea, and in Samaria, and unto the uttermost part of the earth.”
Jesus promises His disciples the power of the Holy Spirit, enabling them to be witnesses of His works. Christians are called to testify of Christ’s resurrection and His saving power, starting in their local communities and extending to the ends of the earth.

1 Peter 3:15 (KJV)
“But sanctify the Lord God in your hearts: and be ready always to give an answer to every man that asketh you a reason of the hope that is in you with meekness and fear.”
This verse encourages believers to always be ready to explain their faith and the hope they have in Christ. Sharing one’s testimony is an essential part of explaining the impact of faith on a believer’s life.

2 Timothy 1:8 (KJV)
“Be not thou therefore ashamed of the testimony of our Lord, nor of me his prisoner: but be thou partaker of the afflictions of the gospel according to the power of God.”
Paul exhorts Timothy to not be ashamed of sharing the testimony of Christ, even if it leads to suffering. This shows that Christians are called to boldly testify about Christ and the gospel, even in the face of challenges.

Psalm 71:15-16 (KJV)
“My mouth shall shew forth thy righteousness and thy salvation all the day; for I know not the numbers thereof. I will go in the strength of the Lord God: I will make mention of thy righteousness, even of thine only.”
The psalmist commits to proclaiming God’s righteousness and salvation continuously. This verse highlights the importance of consistently sharing testimonies of God’s work in our lives, giving all credit to His grace and power.

These scriptures make it clear that sharing testimonies is a vital part of the Christian life. Testimonies help spread the message of the gospel, encourage others in their faith, and give glory to God. Whether through healing, provision, or transformation, believers are mandated to testify about what God has done in their lives so that others may come to know His power and grace.

World Suicide Prevention Day (WSPD) was first established in 2003 by the International Association for Suicide Prevention (IASP) in partnership with the World Health Organization (WHO). This annual observance, marked on September 10, seeks to raise global awareness of suicide, a leading cause of death worldwide. The day encourages coordinated efforts to reduce the stigma around suicide, promote open discussions about mental health, and foster a deeper understanding of the warning signs and risks of suicide.

With over 700,000 suicides occurring globally each year, suicide prevention has become a critical public health issue. The rationale behind WSPD lies in the recognition that suicide is preventable, and the collective efforts of individuals, communities, and governments can save lives. Through education, support, and intervention, the risk of suicide can be significantly reduced.

Nigeria’s Economic Landscape: A Mental Health Burden

In Nigeria today, the economic reality under President Bola Ahmed Tinubu’s administration is bleak for many citizens. With the removal of the fuel subsidy, the price of fuel has soared, leading to a ripple effect on the cost of basic goods and services. Transportation, food, and everyday essentials have become increasingly unaffordable for the average Nigerian household. Inflation has pushed more families into poverty, and many people are struggling to meet even their basic needs.
This economic pressure is taking a toll on the mental health of Nigerians. As people wrestle with unemployment, debt, and the rising cost of living, feelings of hopelessness, anxiety, and despair are on the rise. In some cases, this mental strain has led to an increase in suicidal thoughts. The financial burden is leaving people overwhelmed and unable to access the resources they need for emotional and psychological support.

The Impact of Economic Hardship on Mental Health

Economic downturns are strongly linked to rising mental health challenges. The inability to afford basic necessities such as food, shelter, and healthcare often creates a sense of helplessness and frustration. In Nigeria’s current climate, many people feel trapped by their circumstances, which can lead to anxiety, depression, and, in extreme cases, suicidal thoughts.The psychological impact of these economic hardships is more than just an individual issue; it reflects a broader societal challenge. When a large portion of the population feels mentally strained, it affects productivity, family stability, and community well-being. Without the right mental health interventions, the situation could worsen, as untreated mental health issues often snowball into larger crises.

The Need for Standardizing the Psychology Profession in Nigeria

Amid these rising mental health challenges, the psychological profession in Nigeria remains underdeveloped. While there are skilled professionals working in the field, the lack of regulation, standardization, and recognition of psychology as a vital part of healthcare is a significant barrier to accessing care. Mental health services in Nigeria are often inaccessible to many due to stigma, lack of trained professionals, and insufficient infrastructure.
Standardizing the psychology profession is critical to addressing these issues. This involves creating a national framework for training, licensing, and certifying psychologists to ensure that they meet ethical and professional standards. By doing so, the quality and accessibility of mental health services would greatly improve, allowing more people to seek help without fear of stigma or inadequate care.
Additionally, professionalizing psychology would encourage the establishment of more psychological clinics and homes, offering a wide range of services such as counseling, therapy, rehabilitation, and crisis intervention. These facilities would provide vital support to individuals suffering from mental health challenges, offering them a safe space to seek help.

Psychologists and Government: Partners in Suicide Prevention

The burden of mental health care and suicide prevention cannot rest on psychologists alone. Governments at both the federal and state levels must recognize the importance of mental health as part of their broader healthcare policies. By investing in mental health infrastructure, the government can provide the resources necessary to create a network of support across Nigeria.

Federal and state governments must encourage the establishment of psychological homes and clinics throughout the country. These centers would serve as hubs for mental health care, offering services such as therapy, counseling, and support for individuals dealing with suicidal thoughts. While some urban centers may have access to private psychological services, rural and low-income areas are often left without adequate care.

Additionally, government policies must ensure that mental health care is affordable and accessible. Integrating mental health services into primary healthcare systems will allow more people to seek help without the financial burden that often accompanies specialist care. Public education campaigns to raise awareness about mental health and reduce stigma should also be prioritized. The government must take a proactive role in ensuring that mental health is seen as essential as physical health.


The Role of Psychologists in Suicide Prevention

Psychologists play a central role in addressing suicidal tendencies and mental health challenges. Through counseling and therapy, they can help individuals develop coping mechanisms, manage stress, and navigate difficult life circumstances. In Nigeria, where the challenges of daily life are magnified by economic struggles, the role of psychologists is more important than ever.

Psychologists are trained to recognize the signs of depression, anxiety, and suicidal ideation, enabling them to intervene before a crisis escalates. By providing a safe and non-judgmental space, psychologists offer support to individuals who may feel isolated and overwhelmed. Early intervention and continuous support are key to reducing the risk of suicide and improving mental well-being.

Moreover, psychologists can work in collaboration with other health professionals, social workers, and community leaders to develop community-based mental health programs. These programs can provide ongoing support to individuals in crisis, fostering a sense of belonging and community support, which is crucial in preventing suicide.

Conclusion: A Path Forward for Nigeria

World Suicide Prevention Day reminds us of the importance of addressing mental health issues at both individual and societal levels. In Nigeria, the current economic strain has exacerbated the mental health crisis, leaving many vulnerable to feelings of hopelessness and despair. However, through the standardization of the psychology profession and increased government support, solutions are within reach.

Nigeria must invest in its mental health infrastructure, encouraging the establishment of psychological homes and clinics across the country. By supporting psychologists and making mental health care accessible and affordable, the government can help alleviate the mental health burden on its citizens. It is through collaboration between psychologists, government leaders, and communities that Nigeria can hope to reduce suicide rates and promote mental well-being for all.

In this journey, both the federal and state governments must recognize the vital role mental health plays in the overall health of the nation. Only by prioritizing mental health can Nigeria truly ensure the well-being and resilience of its people, fostering a nation where suicidal thoughts are replaced with hope, strength, and support.

Your ITK personality is not allowing you to learn. Better open your mind and learn.

So, did this event not cause them to suffer, or are you unaware of the state they were in before being evacuated to the medical center?Nonsense, to the know-it-all that you are

A governor participating in a 'gwo gwo ngwo' dance at this time is highly disappointing, especially for a former Governor of the Central Bank of Nigeria. It suggests that he is out of touch with the hardships faced by the people of Anambra, almost as if he views them as indifferent to their own suffering. This reflects a serious lack of awareness about the gravity of his responsibilities.

Soludo is seeing the Anambrans as goat 🐐♑ who suffereness has been part and parcel

Did the lifeless guy who doesn't understand Nigeria but only wishes to rule for history sake know what they are doing there?

Good step

How is this possible? Who conducted the research and gathered the statistics? These so-called experts from baby factory side of Nigeria will just wake up one night and start putting trashes together.

People just wake up and use whatever word they want without knowing what it means...what's tragic or even gory about this little incident?

If you were there when it happened or know how tight that institution is, for a car to tumbled on that spot and before those guys were removed from that car, then you will understand

A gory incident occurred at the University of Lagos (UNILAG) in front of the university sports center. A group of students returning from a party or club had their sedan car overturned. This incident happened in the early hours of Saturday, August 10th, 2024, following a loud, sharp sound that prompted people to rush out and see what had transpired.

A lady was seen bleeding profusely, while another man was seen with bloodstains all over his pure white shirt.

At last, an ambulance belonging to the institution was used to convey the wounded ones from the scene.

Premierlead, a reporter was able to interview the security personnel posted at the sports center and another one from the Environmental Science Faculty adjacent to the center, who seemed to have witnessed the event.

It has become common for some University of Lagos students to drive recklessly. Speeding from the main gate to the inner parts of the campus is a regular occurrence, and often, they remove the exhaust from their sports vehicles to create nuisance and unnecessary loud noise. These students often seem to have lost sight of their main purpose on campus, as their priorities appear misplaced.

To prevent future occurrences of this nature, security personnel need to tighten their efforts by stopping any vehicle suspected of reckless driving at the main gate and asking drivers with tinted windows to either remove the tint or roll down the windows. Additionally, a traffic sign indicating the speed limit should be placed near the gate.

Vehicles causing noise pollution due to exhaust removal should be stopped at the entrance before entering the campus, as they disrupt the focus of the serious students on campus.

reporting

Yesterday, I passed by the SUBEB head office, adjacent to the governor's house in Ibadan, and noticed a very large crowd. Initially, I thought they might have called those who passed the SUBEB CBT test, i.e., those who scored 50% and above, for documentation. I was heading to Bodija and planned to inquire about the situation on my way back.

An hour later, I returned and joined the crowd. After speaking with a few people, I deduced that most of them had not scored up to 50%. In fact, I met a woman who scored 36 and was there seeking assistance from acquaintances in various capacities within the SUBEB office.

I managed to enter some offices to interrogate the officers. I asked what these people were doing there and if documentation had started. The officers told me that the crowd was uncalled for and that it was not yet time for documentation. However, I observed that result slips were being collected from candidates, most of whom had low scores.

I am concerned that Oyo State might have compromised its stance on merit in the recruitment, selection, and placement processes. I plan to meet with Dr. Nureni, the SUBEB chairman, as well as officials from the Ministry of Education and, finally, the governor's office to investigate further.

I like this

Has she been found?

President Bola Tinubu has commiserated with the family, friends and colleagues of Senator Ifeanyi Ubah, who died in London on Friday.

He was 52 years old.

The president condoled with the National Assembly, and the government and people of Anambra State over the sad loss.
 
The deceased was the founder of Capitol Oil and a football team. He was twice elected as the Senator representing Anambra South Senatorial District at the National Assembly.

He was elected on the platform of the YPP.

Some months ago, he crossed over to the ruling APC.

In September 2022, Ifeanyi Ubah survived an assassination attempt, while on his way to Nnewi. At least five people, including 2 policemen, were killed when the assassins attacked his convoy.
