Billionaire businesswoman and one of Africa’s richest women Folorunsho Alakija has revealed how she stopped wearing jewelry (her favourite fashion accessory) when God started dealing with her.
The Founder of Rose of Sharon Group who revealed this during a church service in Lagos, on Sunday, November, 28, said that it took ten days for God to stop her from using jewelry.
According to her, if anybody had come to her and told her not to wear jewelry, she would not have listened to the person.
She said, “I used to love jewelry. I had all kinds and the jewelry had to match every cloth I wore. In those days I used to tell God not to take jewelry from me. If anybody had come to me and told me not to wear jewelry, I would not have listened to the person. I would have wondered where that person is coming from. But by the time God started dealing with me on it, I had no option but to do away with it.”
Folorunsho Alakija also added that the turning point began when she started bleeding from her ear lobe while she was sleeping.
“That night I just suddenly found I was bleeding from my ear lobe. I did not sleep with earrings that night so I wondered what could have caused the bleeding. My ear lobe became sticky. When soap touched t while I was having my bath, it was hurting,” she said.
She said a week before that experience, her younger sister had a dream that she saw that her ear lobe had cut.
“That dream was almost becoming a reality. At a particular time when we were praying, a nephew of mine asked if I put lipstick on my earlobe because it had become red. The experience was not funny. But to cut a long story short, it took ten days for God to deal with me. Finally, I gave it up. Now I am free,” she added.
