    If you’re nervous about your 20s or finding them challenging, I wrote a book titled, “dear 20 something you will unravel beautifully” and I highly recommend it 💗 you can get it here:

    I heard an analogy recently that has helped me to stop comparing myself to others, and I think it'll help someone here too.
    "If you and your friend (or even a stranger) are both playing games at your house, and your friend who is playing Subway Surfer (for example) is in level 150, but you are playing Candy Crush and you're in level 50. You can't now be angry and say 'why are we not at the same level?', and then smash your device because of that. YOU'RE PLAYING TOTALLY DIFFERENT GAMES WITH TOTALLY DIFFERENT DYNAMICS!!"
    This applies to real life too, so stop comparing yourself to others! Even if the person is your twin, you were brought to this earth with your own unique mission and dynamics. Focus on that and watch yourself thrive!
    I hope this analogy helps someone! ❤

    I’m 30 years old and I would say all you need is to literally trust God in whatever way your life is going bc HE KNOWS THE Plan and this is why he says lean not on your OWN UNDERSTANDING. You need to allow God to move in your life or it will unbearable. We are not capable of making the right decisions if you don’t go to God in prayer and stay in his word FIRST. If you keep trying things on your own strength you will fail. STRESS CAN kill you we serve a God that cares about every little thing but do you, yourself truly believe that ? Do you really believe what God word says ? Last thing everything is going to be okay and you’re going to be grateful God didn’t give you anything prematurely bc you realize you wouldn’t of been able to handle it anyway lol Jesus really love ALL OF YOU.

    Hi Ezinne,
    My name is Eniayooluwa, and I’m 19. I wanted to let you know how much your book Dear 20 Something has inspired me. While I never thought I’d write a book myself, God led me to put my thoughts down, and I’ve written something I believe could really touch lives. Your style of writing and the way you speak directly to young people encouraged me to take this step.
    I’m currently editing my book, and it would mean the world to me if you could be one of the first to read it. I’d love to send it to you when it’s ready-please let me know the best way to share it with you. Thank you for being such an inspiration!

    Hmmmm! I just turned 21 on the 25th of november. Honestly life has been hard on me, i got thrown in ADULT PHASE really fast! From paying my fees and house rent, to owning a small biz and shutting it down to open again hopefully, to having an abortion, From being a believer to not knowing what to do again, from going to church to not going to church for 7 months. It's been alot! Thinking about what to eat, who to beg for money, what to do for money, OMG I didn't expect my life to turn out this way. My 20's has been hell I just hope 2024 will be easy on me😭😭 I have to show up for myself regardless. Thank you Ezinne for this video ❤❤

    The loss of my innocence is a hard pill I’m chewing. I can’t believe there are people who do not wish me well. It’s scary to know especially when you do not have the same heart towards them. It’s scary and disappointing.
    Boundaries and Discipline are key in this phase of loss of innocence.

      Honestly, what is more painful in this phase is that, even the people you love so much can turn out to been a thorn on your flesh....and then you on the other hand would forcefully learn how to say no without looking back, separate/walking away because this things now disturbs your peace and throws you off balance...

    Currently in my 20’s
    I matured so fast due to Family set up and all
    What I will really say helped me from my teen age to my twenties, especially this my early 20’s is to have inspiring Godly friends and mentors
    I cannot emphasize these enough!! God saved me a whole lot through mentors and friends
    This very year, I was able to conquer Lust a bit by having an accountability partner and submitting myself to God and obedience
    Honestly, you cannot navigate this life without GOD!!! And the gift of men

    Oh my goodness! I was having a conversation with my sister about your book - Dear 20 something, you will unravel beautifully, today. Overconsumption of content had made me lose my peace and I was telling her I knew your book was going to come in handy as I'll be turning 20 next year. (P.s The Holy Spirit led you to gift me a copy, and I'm truly grateful.) I'm not even in my 20s yet but I can relate to a large extent the things you spoke about in this video. This is my cue to take some time off and seek the Lord and just like you said "I can have everything, but not at once." That's such a HUGE relief, to be very honest.
    This video? So relatable!

    To the one that might feel God is partial-blessings others but you, it sucks. What has helped me was the story of the “feeding of the 5,000.
    Remember they all sat down in groups of 50, they started with those in front but at the end all received their share and was satisfied. The only person that did not receive are those who left or did not attend. So it is, it will reach you, just don’t leave(loosing your faith or doing something wrong). Rejoice with those who rejoice, stay within your group and wait. It’s coming

  • @irenee_ug
    @irenee_ug หลายเดือนก่อน +33

    This video really resonated with me. At 21, I’m struggling to navigate life, and it feels like people come and go. By the end of each year, I find that relationships and friendships tend to fade away, and I often blame myself for their endings. It makes me wonder if there is something wrong with me, since people have been leaving throughout my life. I also find it difficult to not be influenced by others’ opinions of me, and I often struggle to stick to what I want or believe. It’s like I end up going against my own thoughts or choosing something different.
    But amidst all this, I’m grateful for finding God this year. I’m taking steps to build a relationship with Him so I can better understand myself and learn more about Him. Being in my 20s has been overwhelming, but I pray that God helps me through this phase. Amen!🙏 ❤

  • @Angela_Amenya
    @Angela_Amenya หลายเดือนก่อน +15

    There's one thing that keeps me in check as i go through my 20s, and that is ..."I may have thesame gifts and talents with other persons but that doesn't mean my path to destiny is same as their's"
    And just because Ezinne and some others got married at 23 it doesn't mean it's God's plan for every other person to get married at 23😅....At the end of the day, times and seasons belong to the Lord and I've come to realize that i cannot pray or even fast my way out of a season that God has planted me in, and I constantly pray to God to help me become all I need to be in every season according to his own plans for my life.

    Thank you for this God bless you, I just turned 23 and I thought I wanted to be a counselor… or a marriage and family therapist. But now I’m a graduate and jobless lol. But tbh I’m okay God has given me joy. I have parents, I have a dad who still takes care of me and I’m just so grateful for family even though they’re not perfect . I’m learning so much about what matters, when I was younger I used to think it was cool to not spend time with family even now I’m still learning… but now In my 20’s I’m realizing the importance of community and that may just be family for a season. Friends you’re not always going to have friends who are there for you this is why family is important bc when my friends are not there for me my family is there for me. So this is what I’m learning in my 20’s value your family.

They are going super fast, and I'm going through sooooo much.I've always thought my relationship with God would make things way easier than they are...because He's all I've got.To the point that I'm being told and considering that maybe I'm doing this Jesus thing wrong or maybe I'm missing it somewhere because WOW!I am in tears...I'm so close to despairing at my life.
    But I will stay with Him, I can feel His Presence every moment, so I will never forsake Him.Apostle Arome says something like we obey God by faith and not by His explanations....These 20s guyss🙉

    Not going to lie the older i have become i realise i grew up faster then i had thought. Being 21 i find myself crying a lot more than i thought and what i mean by that is i find myself mourning my alter ego whilst trying to understand who i meant to be creating a new alter ego lead by god with his grace and mercy illuminating over my life but i think that's due to the extensive amount of pressure one surrounds themselves with and confusion of the unknown mostly which just creates fear. I was having a conversation with my uncle on going back to school and i could honestly not find the enthusiasm for it i took a 2 year gap year travelled and worked on yachts for the 1 year then waitressing in the 2nd year and all of that made me realise I'm running/chasing something not really valid due to confusion due to the pressure. Basically summed it out for me that I'm too scared to live I'm comfortable in chaos comfortable in my home shielded by my parents that everything else scares me there are so many things I'm realising and everyday i pray go on never ending fasting constantly asking god for strength, guidance, direction but realising i took up fasting as chore rather than quality time with god just to find answers sometimes i feel he is quite like telling to stop and think making me second guess sometimes i feel his ignoring me because i compare a lot and put a lot of pressure kinda like lifting a weight i know is out of my weight lifting bounds but overall i realise i need to breath just breath pray and smile a little, i've put pressure on myself since high school to be something great and do great things thereby missing out on a lot of cherishable moments pivoting moments in my teen years and worsened it by going straight to work depending on keeping it moving but also succumbing to the power of my emotions and stubbornness that i blurred the lines a lot. In this my season of isolation i realised i need to breath, relax and just be strong in my prayer in my faith but i find it challenging because my ADHD keeps me down chained is the word but i think me being home and not working or studying is sorta of forcing to me acknowledge god be strong in faith and just breath show myself grace and trust in the lord so that is currently me right now as a 21year old who i think possibly already hit my midlife crisis but in teenage years.
    Being 20s there is more more things one grieve but no one talks about the pain that comes along we all to suppressed in a world clothed with materialistic things that we not going to therapy or even basic and as free just praying.

    In your 20’s you’d have such a busy mind especially if you’re an overthinker but really the Holy Spirit is and always would be our cheat code only if you yield to him. Great video, really helpful ❤

    Thank you so much, Ezinne Zara. I was greatly blessed by this message. I'm 22 and it has been a roller coaster of emotions. I strongly believe that the Lord is telling me that this is my planting season. But then, I don't know the exact thing he wants me to plant (do).
    Thank you so much for being a blessing to me. God bless you greatly. I love you. I love your videosssssss and I covet your relationship with God 😂.

    my twenties are very complicated. Just learning to trust God and to figure things out on my own with little to no help has been a challenge, but like you said, God is in control. And bruh, that mid 20's crisis, like mad lol. You are so right about that one.

    Every season of life has its hiccups but with God on our side, we move. Like a butterfly, we must go through metamorphosis phase. We can’t run away from it. We press forward with grace and thrive. Not everyone that is in your planting season needs to be present in your harvest season. There’s always something that we learn in the planting and the harvest season. In all our ways, we must seek the Holy Spirit. We will lose things and gain things but we must not lose sight of Jesus. Every season carries a different weight but nevertheless God’s grace is sufficient for every season. Thank you for sharing 🤗.

    This phase is a whole lot sometimes. Things happen that I don’t even plan for and I’m like “whyyyyy”!
    But I still choose to see the beauty in it all because even if it doesn’t make sense now, I’m sure it’s going to later on, so far God is involved in my story.

    In my 20s, and I notice if I lag in my relationship with God, its so easy to be evil and hateful and all those bad emotions towards myself and others and I immediately buckle up!
    So truly I wonder how people who don't have Jesus deal? All the emotions and questions? How do they deal? Thank God for Jesus!!
    Hollam tight o ladies and gentlemen!! Hollam!

  • @ngozieunice7664
    @ngozieunice7664 หลายเดือนก่อน +2

    I think it's a privilege to be able to mourn the loss of innocence. Some people really had no exposure to foundational innocence, it's been jarring experiences from such a tender age, and they've had to grow a tough skin and a survivor's instinct from ab initio. So I think it's better to have had and lost than to not have had at all🥺

Still trying to navigate the next phase and your message came at the right time 🥺 I’ll keep communicating with God, have a deeper relationship with him and I know he’ll see me through the next phase. Thank you🤗 Anticipate my testimony very soon 💃💃

    Hi Ezinne,
    There is a reason why I came across your channel a couple months ago and each video I have watched I am thankful for your channel.
    I relate with a lot you have shared and this year I kept saying to myself I am exactly where Jesus wants me to be and I am blessed because comparison is a thief.

    All this is so true! When I was leaving University, I was so anxious about a lot of things especially what next as I was entering into the “real world” but I ran to God and also my mum and God has really brought me through and my mum encouraged me a lot. I always say I don’t know how people who don’t have Jesus are surviving. Because I can’t even live a single day without Him. If not for Him, I’d have had serious skoin skoin.

    I can relate to the part you talked about mourning the loss of childhood innocence.
    Everyday I'm bewildered at how the world is and how people actually are. I see behaviours, I watch attitudes and it shocks me brutally. Few days ago I was literally screaming before my friends because I couldn't understand anymore.
    I now tread carefully and try to stay safe.
    This video did soothe my heart. Thank you again.

  • @faithfulsampson8916
    @faithfulsampson8916 หลายเดือนก่อน +2

    I just entered mid twenties last month and since this year I'll say I have been having mid twenties crisis before now I never even knew this word existed. It's been filled with uncertainties, identity crisis, me disliking my personality of not being able to stand up for my self, me being unable to navigate this season, me not allowing myself to receive complete help from the Holy Spirit, me refusing to consistently talk to God even when I know He's the only one that can help me, me trying to figure out what my purpose in this life is. I'm so confused and I wonder sometimes when this phase will pass as my greatest fear is being the same way in the next five years when I turn 30.

    You are truly a great role model to young christian ladies trying to figure things out.

    Hi, Ezinne thank you so much for this beautiful video. Phewww it feels good to know I am not alone in this 20's season.
    I totally agree with you, one can't do life well without the Holy spirit and we are definitely in different times. I graduated last year and wanted to follow my mates to go for service like anybody would do and God held me back in school for some months to grow spiritually. As at that time I couldn't understand what exactly was going on, but right now I can say God is too wise. The growth I experienced in Christ and in my natural affairs is definitely what is helping me now.
    I got a good job because I delayed and learnt some skills and I am still standing in my faith in God despite the persecutions I am currently facing because the amount of prayers, meetings and the study of God's word that was invested in those months were definitely worth it.
    I believe our 20's is a beautiful but challenging journey. We just have to trust God all through the way.

I'll rather use a torch to do whatever I want. I used to love the light when I was younger but now as I get older, I seem to love being alone in dark places...it gives me a sense of peace...kinda. plus I feel like creativity is birthed in "dark rooms"...I prolly took that literally. ​@@deborahobulor6800

    Funny how, I told a friend this week that I felt like things were moving too fast and I can't get a hold of any, just for me to come on here and hear that this could be my planting season and it's okay to plant while you see others harvest.

    I love this video 🤭🥰. Thank you,Ezinne for creating such a wonderful and relatable piece.Being in your 20's is very confusing. Earlier in life, I'd told God I wanted to do His will but I'm slowly discovering there's more to "God's will" than I thought 😂 and that trusting God isn't always so easy. So yes,though it comes with its highs and its lows, the best way to get through your 20's successfully is Jesus. I mean, Scripture says,He is the way,the truth and the life ✨👏. And the part of texting back gave me insight on how to deal with something that has been bothering me.
