HOW THE LIBRARY NATION BEGAN
In around March 2017, in a Rhapsody of realities group someone posted a link that was for general Ebooks.
I , being a lover of books I quickly tried joining, only to be disappointed that it was full. I kept on trying, day after day and weak after week, and about 5 months later i tried it and woow, there was a place for one , and i joined.
They had a rule that one book was only shared by one person, who was the admin only. I spent 3 days and i had not seen or read all rules , so in excitement i wanted to share a few collection of the books that i had, thinking that all would love them, about 18 books , i shared them at night , many people appreciated. But in the morning when came online, I saw that I had been removed for breaking the rules. I apologized but there was no place of repentance, I begged but it was to no avail. And I was crushed and devastated.
The people from that group were coming to my inbox to ask for more books, and yet that was all i had, and neither knew that there existed any sites to download free books
*But God was in it, working a better plan*
In desperation, In that same week in August 2017, God birthed an idea in me ...I decided that I would create a group so that the people who join would just share the books they had. (created a group and called it Christian library. I didn't even expect it to be full , neither did i expect it to get even to 50 members, I did not know that God had brought the idea so that He would reach the whole world..
In about a week the group got full , and many people were saying that their friends wanted to get in but the group was full. I didn't know what to do oo.
Then came Victory Obed and asked me to create another group, but I was reluctant, I told him i would think about it. I didn't know that it was God. He created group 2 and added me, I told him to be in charge of it , which also quickly got full. I created Group 3 and Bishop Doe became its admin till today. My Prince , Pizzazz, Bishop Doe and others who are now overseers, directors, Pds came in and God was sending many people to help as admins.
I then began to understand that when the group gets full , I had to create a new one.
In that year I was unemployed so I kept myself busy praying , reading and creating groups . From there I kept on creating and filling groups. Any participating member became a target and a potential admin, I would go to their inbox and ask them to help. And God gave an amazing helping hand and expansion.
I could go for weeks without data to go online, but when I came in, I would be so encouraged by the testimonies in the groups. The testimonies became the fuel that made me want to reach more and more people around the world.
The Lord gave us the idea of having overseers, and later directors , Special directors, zonal directors and principal directors and our highly esteemed General Council . These all helped to make the work lighter and even more effective
And here we are, celebrating over 25,000 WhatsApp groups and over 7 million lives touched since 2017, the journey has not been easy, but the Spirit of God has continued to help us and strengthen us.
We say Ebenezer, the Lord has marvelously taken us this far!! And by His grace we are passing through troops and getting bigger everyday!
