We are here to watch #EzinneFans 🎉❤🥰
The enemy truly didn’t want me to watch this but God is good and I’ll watch it over and over again! Thank you sis 🙏
I'm here because I was talking to my friend about the episode with DDK and she was like “Oh do you know she just released one with Ezinne Zara”. The way I screamed and ran here ehnn🥹🥹❤️
🤗🤗🤗
❤❤
The way she talks about God.. so inspiring.. I got saved at 29 and it pains me so much that it didn’t happen earlier.. now in my 30s and still finding my way.. but ThankGod I have Jesus now and I will get there🤗🙏🏽
I feel same way too that had I know ,i would have started earlier but never too late.
God is with you sis 🤗🤗🤗🤗
Hey Sis, there’s never a time too late with God. Just enjoy every moment and bask in Him. He’ll fill in the years you feel were wasted❤.
@@the_nkami you're right
@@BellaChristiana ❤️
The part where she talked about how her friend is a big part of her salvation tells us that other people's salvation are tied to ours. What if her friend wasn't in love with Jesus?
Right 🥺🥺... We should always pray for these kind people to come out way.
I gave my life to Christ after i turned 17
Prior to then,I knew I was in the dark( music,yoga,bad influences). I relied on them to find peace and to take away depression
I just opened TH-cam one day to listen to “depressing songs”and my feed changed.
I started seeing that everything I engaged in was pure evil.
I knew I needed a change,a filling,a new life and right there in my room, I accepted the life of christ❤
I am 18 now and I must say that I have never been happier
Next month will be a year that I started walking with God❤.
Thank you Jesus
Thank you Shining light podcast
Thank you sister Ezinne (in Amanda’s voice😂❤)
I honestly and truly love and appreciate you❤.
I love you ❤
Glad to know you're walking with God
@@favourchidinma9737 thank you faith
All the Glory to God
Is yoga bad if you do it for stretches and as an exercise not for anything more?
Thank God at least you will start early
I’m from a catholic background too. I used to think worship songs were boring, I used to laugh at my Pentecostal friends that year. Thank God for his mercies🙏🏽
The host's calmness is so refreshing. Thank God for the amazing work he is doing through you.
We should start a community of people that found God after a heartbreak 🤣😂.
As someone raised in a Catholic home, I relate with your story very personally. The God that started the journey with us, will see us through 🎉.
This heartbreak club plenty😂
😂😂😂 sh true @heartbreak
So true ❤
We are plenty on this table
Violence 😂😂😂😂
And you're now thanking God for the heartbreak 😂😂😂
Thanks
I have never related with any story this much, I'm less that 15 mins into the story but I feel God brought me here. I'm a Catholic as well , grew up in a Catholic home. I have never been a bad girl but I knew there was so more God wanted from me. My story changed after a terrible breakup. And I prayed the same prayer you prayed during the breakup. But I'm here looking for more, to grow and to live that experiential life of Christ
God will hold your hand and direct your steps in Jesus name
26:44 "When God Brings us to places of Victory, we have to be so careful to continue in the consecration that will preserve that Victory"
My 20s is so so quiet, I feel really stagnant. I had been postponing this day, the day I watch this podcast. Finally, the day is now and I feel really relieved, I feel less pressure, I feel more grateful and eager to grow. Thank you Sis Ezinne❤
The first time I encountered Ezinne was during a fast and I was fasting for the very wrong reasons as they had made sense to me then. She spoke about Matthew 6:33 and she angrily spoke it felt like God was warning me😂. This has been my favorite scripture and foundation of everything I do since then. It birthed intentionality within me.
I remember that episode , she was talking about seeking first the kingdom of God ans she was prerty direct
@@Okikiolaadebo it's like she wanted to jump out of the screen and beat me 😫😂😂 it was a good lesson
Please, what video is that?

Ezinne is always so relatable❤️.
I grew up Catholic as well and God is teaching me the part about wisdom and not rebelling against my parents just because I now have a relationship with the Holy Spirit and my path is different.
They may not agree with me but they still love me and are indeed good people.
I will wait for God, I will practice long suffering and I know Abba will settle me in due time.
There's so much wisdom in this video, God bless you Ma for this show and God bless Ezinne Zara for sharing her story with us.
I grew up in a Catholic home and I can totally relate. Such an inspiring testimony. I am on a journey too and I shall testify
The enemy will always come because there is always something the enemy wants to steal, kill and destroy in our life. Thanksgiving should be our mantra as Christians. Never give the enemy chance to nurture negative thoughts. Pattern your life in Gods will. God bless you @EzinneZara and team. I am refreshed in my spirit.
" Every time you come back, you are starting all over again" !
This one hits hard
It's happening to me right I'm back and I started all over again
this is so good. I will stop being so anxious about the future and I will stop comparing myself to my friends. From today, I choose to wake up and thank God for a new day, for life and for good health. I choose to focus on each day and ask God for instructions concerning that day. I know that if I follow His leading, I will be good. God will not mismanage my life.
As a Catholic I can relate to everything you said, the problem with most Catholics is that they've not developed a relationship with the Holy Spirit yet. That doesn't downplay the Catholic faith though. More Catholics just need to avoid religiosity and yield more to the promptings of the Holy Spirit because He's definitely a big part of our Catholic faith.
There is no delay in my life. There is only an appointed time. Thank you so much for this encouragement, Ezinne. God bless you.
Amen
God bless you Flourish Ubanyi for hosting this talk and Ezinne Zara for speaking to my heart. This talk blessed me and I am going to reconcile with my mum. Right now we are always getting into arguments about the decision I have took.
Thank you
If you dishonour the source of your life you will not live long . Thank you ezinne ❤
This definitely needs a part 2! God richly bless you both!
I feel there should be another session for Ezinne. She has such much to pour out .
May God continue to bless flourish and her team for doing the work of God .
This Testimony is so good. It reminds me of how my Family thought I needed deliverance when I answered the call to ministry after graduating with an honors degree in Microbiology. It has been 10years now doing ministry, it is this year that my family are praying for my ministry call. God promised me ages ago that I was a Joseph I my family but the years of rejection from family was very tough but God has been faithful
I am such a huge fan/follower of this podcast! This is the kind of podcast that every young person should be watching! There is eternal value here! Thank you Flourish for giving us access to these higher conversations. Ezinne Zara is such a brilliant light! Thank you Lord for her life and continue to use her for your glory in Jesus name, Amen 🙏
Thank you Jesuloba, Amennn
This is an embodiment of the Spirit of the Lord being poured out through a yielded vessel. Jesus be glorified!🔥
I can confidently say this is one of my favourite episodes of any podcast on TH-cam. Gods glory is upon the interviewee. The grace, humility and eloquence , wow. God Bless this channel. I learnt alot
“When God brings us to places of victory, we have to be so careful to continue in the consecration that will preserve that victory.”
‘Don’t decide to be foolish to step away from your victory.’
Been looking out for this video since 4pm. Thank God it was finally uploaded. All the forces against this video going live failed!
My sister same here
Girl same 🤭 refreshed my TH-cam so many times 😂
What we waited for, has come to pass. See what the Lord has done. God bless you Ezinne & the entire “The Shining Light Show” ❤️🤗🥁. This is a blessing 🙏🏿.
I am grateful to the Holy Spirit for letting me see this channel. This is my first time and God has blessed me tremendously. I am in my 50’s and hearing young people minister Christ and bring me deeper in faith is to the glory of God.
I was hesitant initially but the more I listen and learned, I choose to subscribe. Thanks be to God.
Wow Ezinne you are so wise. The spirit of wisdom is upon you. Lord please put your wisdom upon me 🙏
44:56 what Ezinne said about Moses, the Nile and Honoring Your Parents is so enlightening!!!! My God!!!!!
Came here because of your status😍 Thanx
Indeed 😊
It’s how teary the host is for me🥹❤️
God will never sponsor rebellion.
I can see indeed a PERSONAL relationship with God.
May God bless you deeply Ma'am Ezinne, I pray you continue to enjoy this relationship with God.
To Ma'am Flourish, the shinning light has been a huge Blessing to me. God bless you and the channel richly Ma'am
Amenn
There should be a part 2. This has blessed me.
Thank you so much!
Your show is so awesome. I'm really blessed by the interviews. May God increase you sister Flourish and use this to bring many into his Kingdom. It's great to see "ordinary men" so rooted in Christ.
Thank you, Jesus!
I paused at a point, cried and talked to God 🥺☺️🙌
God bless you sis Ezinne and Sis Flourish.
I pray your well of wisdom will dey up in yhe name of Jesus.
To be honest, sis Flourish made me cry from within and with all sincerity of heart with some of her questions. I could see and feel compassion in yoor voice ma🥺🥰
I love you so kuch sis Ezinne. I can't express how much. 🥺🥺 Thank you ma.☺️💜
I'm sharing right away...(Weeks ago, someone said to me "You and this your Ezinne...bla bla😌😋)I just smiled and I'm silently muttering Irris God joh😅
Dem go hia say my fav Ezinne don land againnnnnnnn🤣🤣🔥....owwwwh
Awwwnnn, thank you Precious. Amennn
I just love how real she is! Ezinne 💯💯
She has almost the same story of salvation as mine🙌🏻🙌🏻…more grace sis
I can so relate with your story!
My greatest joy through this all is that I never rebelled and dishonored my parents. As you said, the Lord helped me wait… as much as I knew that’s not where I wanted to be, I honored my dad and went to the Church as much as I was under their roof… I even joined the choir and was the librarian (my choirmaster still missed me so much). God is faithful!
Thank you so much for sharing!❤️🥺✨
I wish to be here someday. Always blessed each time i watch
Every single sentence was so relatable and powerful, i've really been edified.
This salvation story has me in tears 🥹
My God!!! Thank you so much Ezinne and Flourish.
So much light, I thank God he led me here.
You ladies are such a blessing to us. God bless you
This is amazing ❤️
Her story made me so emotional 😭 but I learnt alot
Thanks for blessing us!!!... God grant us wisdom with our parents.
It’s always a delight to watch and listen to Ezinne talk about God and share her experiences/encounters.💜
This blessed me. Thank you Lord.
A beautiful salvation story indeed! This really blessed me ❤️
Thank you Ezinne. You're a passionate woman of the Word of God and your encounter with Him has blessed my life. Thank you Shinning Light🎉
The words coming from this woman are full of wisdom.
I feel like there a lot of messages God is passing to us- the audience through these words.
I also love how the host asks the most important questions in her interviews. She does it heartily.
God bless the host and the guest.❤ Thanks for yielding to God to be used to affect lives positively.
This is Worth the wait and prayer.
I had an encounter after watching this
I'm grateful for this
God bless you Mrs Flourish and Mrs Ezinne
Amenn
This is so true, my date time with God is different each day. It’s not only pray or study, sometimes Holy Spirit will say just sit and be quiet, he prescribes the communion and fellowship I need
To think that I'm blessed is an understatement
Ezinne truly radiates with the joy and wisdom beyond her years that comes from the Holy Spirit. So refreshing, enlightening, and inspiring to witness. Thank God for her testimony!
this is so wholesome. Thank you for yielding
You are such a light!!! Pure light!
I'm just getting back to this video because I didn't finish it. Ma Ezinne's experiences are almost similar to mine and I can see why I started watching her pages. Ranging from being born in a Catholic family, just getting to meet her saved friend at 18, entering school to live life, engaging in quarells with siblings, jealousy, envy, having special experiences at a young age but never having the consciousness of it, this and all I can relate ma. I would really like to connect with you ma if that's possible. God bless you 🙏
Thank you Jesus ❤❤❤
I'm so glad to have the grace to be able to listen to this
The last 2 minutes is 🔥🔥 for me.
Indeed those who sow in tears shall DOUBTLESSLY return, bearing sheaves with them.
This spoke to me in so many ways, especially the Catholic issues and honourbto our parents come what may Thank you Jesus 🙌🙌
My God! This is just so powerful! I have tears in my eyes🥺 Thank you so much @EzinneZara for sharing so much. God bless you! Thank you Mama Flourish!❤
This blessed me so much. Thank you guys for blessing us.
The video was very impactful. Thank you Ezinne and Flourish.
I could listen to Ezinne all day
I've been so consistent in following your podcast and it has helped me recently. Thank you ma, God bless you.
Dear beautiful ezinne, I don't know who said that the Saints didn't sin and if you can recall, according to the stories of the saints it talks about their lives and in some cases how they've come short of God's grace, my point is that everyone has fallen short of God's grace including the incorruptible saints but it's what they did after embracing God's mercy that matters and they handled sin with the obvious and active help from God that matters, that's why their stories inspires us to want to be holy so we too can love God as we ought to and they these graces that they too enjoyed.
I’m so excited to listen to this episode
I’m watching the video and taking everything in.
But it’s Ezinne’s locs I’m looking at 😅
Ahh Ezinne, The lord sure did speak through you! You have blessed me! May God continue to replenish this wisdom and anointing ❤
Thank you Ezinne.
This interview blessed me so much.
The Holy Spirit truly makes the difference in the life of a believer. Thank you so much for the wisdom you shared in this video, EzinneZara. I was truly blessed by it.

The things that are bringing us grief now, when God answers it and we look back we’ll be asking ourselves what was really going on, it’s our heart that really matters.
This video has blessed my spiritual life in so many ways and answered so many questions. Thank you Jesus for these precious gems🙏🏾
This really blessed me. I’m thankful God ❤
