Diadem Christian Magazine is a non-denominational, non-doctrinal quarterly published Christian magazine; a God-given vision to strengthen, encourage and rebuild our faith through the life testimonies of those that have overcome in Christ Jesus.

Both of my parents are pastors and we always hear the word of God from them. I do not know why that didn’t stop me from doing all the things I was doing.

I started watching pornography at the age of 12. I saw the video on my dad’s secretary’s phone and each time I saw her, I asked her for her phone just to watch that video. I would watch more than twice a day; that was how the foundation of pornography was laid. I became addicted to it over the years and whenever I couldn’t get it to watch, I began to feel the urge to touch myself. It became strong when I read all those novels that had sex explained in them or whenever I was alone.

I give all the glory to God for saving my life from stray bullet.

On the 27th of January precisely, I went to Ikotun market to get some things. I alighted from the bus and went inside the market to get the things I needed. As I was shopping, I heard a gun-shot and within the twinkle of an eye, there was chaos; everybody was running helter-skelter. There was pandemonium inside the market, I ran and hid under a table (it was the first thing that I saw) as instincts had taken over at this point. I hid there until I saw people thronging out of the market; I quickly joined them in the search for better safety.

I return all glory to God who is too faithful to fail. From day one to this day, He has been my Owner, my Friend, my Lover, my Help and my Strength; He has been everything I have needed Him to be. I gained admission into the university in 2011 for a 4-year course with and by God’s grace and today, I am a graduate despite every trick of the enemy. Days before my graduation, my parents received a text message from the school that I would not be graduating with my mates but rather than for them to be afraid, they rebuked it immediately and prayed with me telling me to believe that it was not a reality and that it was subject to change.

Praise God! I thank God for the lives of my maternal uncle and his wife. They’ve been trusting God for the fruit of the womb these past six years and finally, God answered their prayers! When God finally appeared, even my aunty didn’t know she was already pregnant because there were no signs and the scans showed that there was no baby in her womb even until the day she put to bed but to the Glory of God, on that faithful day, she felt something.

My name is Tolulope Nwegbu. I was born on the 2nd of August, 1972. I am from Ekiti state but married to an Anambra indigene. I am blessed with three children.
My life is a testimony in every ramification of the word.
Every step of the way, I have seen God's hand very evident in my life. I have found out that Christianity is the basis of our existence. The truth of the matter is, if you are not a Christian, you certainly don't have a personal relationship with God, and I want to say it would have been better if you didn't come to this world but even when as a Christian you fall, God in His mercy is able to restore you.

As a child, my mummy would always admonish me and my siblings to study hard. She would say if she had had our kind of opportunities she would have gone to school. She would tell us how she was deprived of quality education because her father died when she was 3 years old. She would tell us that her father was just 34 years old when he died.

As a little girl of about 5 years old then, her stories meant nothing to me but then I have never forgotten those stories; probably because......

In October 2011, I was doing self-examination of my body and my breast and I noticed water like fluid was coming out of my left breast. I had my last baby in 2005 so I think is not good to be having water coming out of it. I went to our family hospital and I saw a young doctor. After checking me, he directed me to see his medical director who is a gynecologist. He checked me and said nothing was wrong with me. So far, the water like fluid was colorless.....
