Rejected Stone (Paperback) | Released: 26 Jul 2017

Ironically, The Rejected Stone reflects the circumstances that have surrounded my being. I had little idea of how to start. I enquired of the Lord for direction on how this task should be achieved. He told me to carry on, and that He would send a helping hand to assist until completion. I prayed, believed and obeyed the Lord's instructions. Shortly after that, His words came to pass. I believed it was not what happened to me that matters, but how I responded to it. I was ready to transform my bad moments to good, problems, trials and tribulations into opportunities. Somehow, life could be funny, especially when there were challenges whose ultimate impact could not be seen. Like David of old, who lifted up his eyes to the hills when he was challenged, so I lifted my eyes when life and the pangs of death were all around me. Apart from family troubles and neglect, especially from my mother and those around her, my marriage also brought near-to-death predicaments. It was so tormenting, that life seemed unbearable and meaningless. I cannot remember experiencing happiness in the fourteen years I spent in marriage. I endured the marriage, instead of enjoying it, although it produced three children - in this, I felt that God consoled me. During this time, I zealously sought help, but none materialized. As if to take me from the frying pan to the fire. Some so-called ministers of God turned my mourning into pulpit-preaching, scheming to covert my estate into their personal property, rendering me helpless with sugar- coated and corrugated bible messages. They brought sorrow and sickness, instead of healing, to me. Irrespective of these torments, my chains fell off! God, in His infinite mercy, delivered me from all diabolical twists. God gave me a discerning spirit, in no small measure, so that I could re-organize, and lead my life in the right way. I am now totally refurbished for God's use; a vessel of honour and glory. This reformation in me led to the establishment of the Voice of the Voiceless Ministry, the real purpose of my being. Today, I can sing a new song, hence this book - ''The Rejected Stone''. This book is a source of encouragement for those who think their world has come to an end, in terms of marriage, career or personal ambition. I have deliberately detached myself from the book, and I now tell the story as it occurred.
