Destiny is a largely misunderstood concept. While some see it as a pre-ordained sequence of outcomes, others believe that it can be influenced.
Whatever your belief, there can be no questioning when Fortune takes particular interest in someone's Destiny.
Olajumoke Orisaguna, the #Breadseller (hawker) and former hairdresser is one lady who's been driven by purpose and guided by destiny. A typical example of one who moved from obscurity to become a celebrity; zero to hero; one who moved from grass to grace.
The #breadseller left her place of abode in Osun state with the understanding of her husband, when their socioeconomic status became deplorable and unbearable. With the CONSENT of her husband and on the invitation of a family relative, Olajumoke moved to Lagos with her last child of less than 2 years to try her hands on something different, leaving her husband to cater for the other child.
The will to survive against all odds resonated in her as she sought to embark on the most lucrative form of business, food selling. Food business is very lucrative, depending on which area you venture into. People must eat daily. If they don't, they starve and die. That's why I'm proud of farmers! I'm one too.
Olajumoke wakes up at the hot bakery daily, working almost seven days of the week, making between 300 to 500 Naira daily. If this is converted to dollars, then it becomes miserable! Despite this meagre gains, she's determined to support her family, believing that someday, fortune will smile on her and family.
Like a ray of light; the darkness on her face faded away when she photobombed into a celebrity shoot while hawking her #bread. Olajumoke's intention was just to sell, and move on. But no, there was more to this particular day than her previous. She was to come face to face with destiny. She met with God's Angel in the flesh, through HIS appointed, photo artist and musician @TyBello.
Perhaps, T Y Bello as usual saw an opportunity to take a street shoot or documentary. But beyond that, was a PURPOSE that had to be fulfilled. She must be made the STAR, she's destined to be. The 27 year old #breadseller was a natural beauty to behold. She was adorable and astonishing. She glowed like the stars in the sky. Her smile beamed hope and life.
Within a few days, Olajumoke became top of the news on social media, news magazines and global TV stations including CNN. Hmmm, only God can do this o! Despite her low educational qualification, she rose to fame, despite her humble background. She became the face of global brands, signing contracts, within days.
This MIRACLE then makes it clear to be that when God decides to bless a man, it takes Him nothing. Blessing a man is the simplest miracle God can perform. He does this by taking you to the right place, at the right time and to meet the right people.
