“Me in my prayer cap, worn during prayer meeting with my sons. I didn’t think I had issues with unforgiveness (we read the Bible passage your MGM shared). My youngest said he had grudges against me and his older brother! I’ve prayed in tongues, wearing my cap and I ‘saw’ a perspective to share with him, to help him ‘release’ the negative feelings. God be praised and thank you again for ‘doing you’ the way you do ❤😇🤗🙏🏽”
“Awwwn, always my pleasure Sis.🙂🤗🤗
I had a really nice time and learnt a lot.
First it was an eye-opener that life has its struggles, ups and lows and everyone has their fair share. No need to feel like you’re inadequate, unloved or unfortunate.
Then my major take was to learn not to begrudge people for not believing in my dreams or supporting me. They can only know and understand what they can. Release people from fulfilling my expectations and break free from trying to live up to theirs; and instead rely on God’s help and love will bring more peace, joy and healing.”
“Dear Aunty Salt,
I was invited to the program by a friend who was invited by another friend who had attended last year.
I had called my friend to speak to her cause I needed to connect (that David jaonathan relationship) she then told me she would be at ikoyi for a program. I did not know what the program was about but I invited myself.
I’ve been dealing with anger management for few weeks now because I’ve noticed that it’s affecting my relationship with friends and loved ones. The timing has never been perfect. Now I understand why I am emotionally stressed and agree with that #fact that it is a post traumatic embitterment disorder.
I was blessed by the program and look forward to more programs.
Thank you very much aunty salt. God bless you.”
“Good morning Aunty Salt.. no, I should be the one thanking you for putting such an awesome meeting together. I was touched, blessed, inspired and got awakened to the love God has for us, which he has put in us also for people around us. I will so show this love to anyone on my path . Thank you so much again ma. I love you!!!”
I honestly have a lot to say but I think one of the biggest blessings for me, being there and listening to everyone speak was regaining confidence that there’s nothing God can’t fix in my life. He can and will restore peace in every troubled area if I can just surrender.
I mostly just “move on” as quickly as I can when I face a difficult or “messy” situation. I stop talking about it. I force my mind to stop thinking about it. I hide.
But I realize now that this isn’t healthy and it can affect my relationships with other people and many other things.
Thank you so much ma for letting me be a part of the program.I’m glad I didn’t miss it.The experiences shared by the speakers were very touching.I learnt a lot.I learnt that anger can result to physical illnesses such as migraine,tiredness,loss of memory etc. I also learnt that One should not let oneself be abused twice.Firstly by the abuser and secondly by oneself as a result of anger and its consequences,therefore the solution is forgiveness. Anger is actually a weakness I’ve been working on and this event was very helpful for me.Thanks once again for inviting me.🌺Benedicta
Hi Salt.
Thank you so much for your message. I’m really sorry I didn’t reply much earlier.
The program was really great. I was glad I came. For me, it was really touching. As a guy, not only do I now understand the victims of sexual abuse much more, I can also speak and fight on their behalf especially with the ongoing debacle in Nigeria which has given victims the courage to speak out more and loudly.
May God continue to bless you immensely. And do keep up the great work.
Cheers!!
Thank you very much, sis. In obeying God’s instructions, we don’t know who God is trying to reach. This time I know I was the one, I didn’t know it when I set out to attend the event that day.
My healing has been ignited, even though I know I still need help. I didn’t even know I needed healing until that day, let alone asking for help.
I will send you a detailed email later.
Once again, thank you for heeding to God’s instructions.
More grace.

“I planned on coming early but things came up that I started to run late but I said, whatever the case, I will be there and I’m glad I did.
Every speaker touched on a part of my pain. Even the pain I almost forgot I had and I took away so many things from yesterday’s encounter.
Two things stood out for you:
1. I am not alone
2. I’m far above in the Spirit.
Thank you for those warm hugs you gave to me and those kind words, you wear a crown sweetheart, you will be fine. They went right into my soul.
I smiled yesterday because you gave me a reason to. Thank you Salt 🤗 you are a light ma.”
“Thank you ma for putting that program together, it was really impactful. I was happy I attended.May God continue to give you more wisdom and strength in this journey of freedom you have started. God bless you richly ma 🙏”
“Awww dis caught me unaware ..thks sholly.the programme was really interesting,u also talked on wat i’ve battled with for years which is love based on forgiveness.i learnt that no matter d wrong doings of anyone, u still hv u forgive and let go. I thk God for making me be at your programme yesterday…i love u ma’am..🤓”
I struggled to put this together. Saturday was heavy, I though The First Sholly’s Love Talk was heavy, until The Second Sholly’s Love Talk happened.
I took so many things in yesterday. But I’ll just write down few below.
🔸️Even in our darkest moments, God has a way of sending us messages, we should live with that knowledge and look out for those messages. Most times they are the wind beneath our wings. The very things whether big or little that carries us through the dark peroid.
🔸️Know what my hooks are. Just like a boat/ship hook that has so many uses which include holding the boat dowm, making it’s way through unpleasant part of water, fishing out stuffs out of the river, so are these hooks, they may be people or things. They are dear to me and should always keep me staying and standing through am the times of life.
🔸️Do not waste your story! No matter how unpleasant it is, my story is meant to give someone strength. Most times we go through stuffs, that when we are done going through, it is easier for us to encourage people and be in a better place to tell them that they will indeed pull through and be fine. Indeed there is no shame in sharing my stories, they are mine and I can do whatever I like with them. And also I need to be positive with your story. When I share your story, make sure it is encouraging people and not the opposite. To uplift is the aim.
🔸️My body is the temple of God and it is my responsible to keep it HOLY and anger is unholy, therefore I should be always strive to live in peace with people. Forgive as quick as I can, because bitterness is a terrible poison, it damages the mind and the body.
🔸️Above all. Find God. Find my Voice. And don’t be a reason someone will hate God, instead, always show them the Love of Christ as it is. After all we are all ambassadors for Christ and we should always represent Him well.
My major take away yesterday is to always look at the message or gain in every pain and run with it. Once I’m done with an experience of life or even while going through it, find the good that came out of it or will come out of it and let it be my spring in life. And above all never ever leave God no matter how unpleasant things get. He is the Anchor that holds my life down. Hold unto HIM always because He is life Himself.
So, Sholly’s Love talk was a blessing to me (it has always been and I have always looked forward to them. PS: I’m TWTW and I never miss any meeting or event).
About my experience last Saturday, it was indeed a blessing. I learnt more about God’s Love, how that Love covers multitude of sin. The part that cut my heart was when your husband was talking on how that unforgiveness could spring up many diseases (in my own words) , then the lady with the clash with her mother-in law, Mrs Anthonia and general other remarks came from people on how valid that it, that when we nurse hurts and unforgiveness in our hearts, we give the enemy the opportunity to plant various sicknesses and diseases in our system.
It dawned more on me that I have to Love unconditionally, forgive quickly and let go easily first of all for myself, for my health, for my heart, for the sake of my walk with God. I read it somewhere that not forgiving someone is like taking poison and expecting the other person to die. I trust God to really help us as humanly speaking, it’s not easy but I believe when we give ourselves totally to God, opening up and making Him know that we know that we cant do it on our own by our own strength, then He is able to come through to us.
Another turning point for me was learning the act of being opened and unashamed, I saw how that people could come out openly to talk about what they’re and have gone through without the fear of what others will feel, think or say about them and it is very sweet and heart melting…because I grew up in a circle and with a notion of keeping things to yourself, being uptight and not being able to share ones struggle, which resolve to feeling strong and high up there whereas, one is struggling badly. I saw the true definition of Love, being naked and unashamed knowing that there are people that genuinely love you and are concerned about you. I saw how sharing is the first step to healing.
God’s Love is the very best expression to us and we all should express it to everyone we come across.
The truth is the meeting was a great one and I cant really bring to writing ALL I took home I’d just pray that the Lord bless you and keep you ma, keep providing for you and uphold you. God is your reward and He will definitely hold you tight and never let you go, because through you He has brought peace to alot of hearts, made people repent and turn many to the selfless Love of God.
I hope with the not so few words of mine😁 I have been able to Express my thoughts about Sholly’s Love Talk🥰
Thank you ma🙏
