FROM ACADEMIC STRUGGLES TO ACADEMIC EXCELLENCE: MY TESTIMONY OF GOD'S FAITHFULNESS.

TO GOD ALONE BE ALL THE GLORY! My name is Emmanuel Oladoye, and I have come to return all the glory to God for His mercy, strength, and faithfulness throughout my academic journey. My story began about 15 years ago when I developed a hearing impairment. I found it difficult to hear and understand people unless I was facing them directly. This affected my academic performance throughout my primary and secondary education, leaving me with poor results. At some point, my parents almost lost hope in my academic future. In 2022, I joined Dunamis International Gospel Centre, where I constantly heard testimonies of academic excellence and divine healing. These testimonies strengthened my faith, and I kept reminding myself that my case was not different. I believed that even if my answer didn't come immediately, God had a purpose for my life. In 2024, I had to convince my parents to allow me to return to school despite their doubts. I gained admission into The Federal Polytechnic, Bida, to study Mechanical Engineering for my National Diploma. Throughout this journey, there were moments I almost gave up, but the teachings and declarations from the Dunamis Commission kept strengthening me. One statement from Daddy that I held firmly to was: "Don't give up on your journey halfway." Today, the story has changed! The same boy who once struggled academically and had poor results is now among the students with the highest academic points in his class. Honestly, I cannot explain how it happened. It is beyond my expectations and human understanding. All I can say is that GOD HAS BEEN FAITHFUL! I do not take this testimony for granted. It is not by my power or intelligence but by the mercy and grace of God. To God who gave me hope, strength, and a new academic story, I am forever grateful and I believe he will prefect all that concern me and I will come back to testify again. TO GOD ALONE BE ALL THE GLORY!Psalm 126:3 (KJV): "The LORD hath done great things for us; whereof we are glad."
