YOUR VIRGINITY MAY BE GONE, BUT YOUR PURITY IS NOT! – Pastor Bella Alex-Nosagie, President of Pastor Bella International Ministries PBIM, USA & Nigeria.
These were the words that struck me and pierced through my heart like a sharp two edged sword. It was over three years ago, when I was about to be fully settled in marriage. Then, I was blessed to have been introduced by a sister to one of the arms of PBIM, called the God Girl Initiative, GGI.
Randomly one night, I was catching up on Pastor Bella’s teachings on Sexual Purity, then I heard her say and I quote, Your virginity may be gone but your sexual purity is not… I said to myself, this is it! This is where I should belong. Immediately, GGI became an eye opener to me. Going through the tenets for GGI, I gained an in-depth clarification of the path God had been leading me to pursue for a long time. I started seeing more reasons to hold on to God, in total obedience and submission.
To the glory of God, Pastor Bella through her phenomenal and charismatic leadership skills created a safe space for all females. Irrespective of their social statuses and religious affiliations, but who are willing, abiding and available to be teachable, to enjoy a sense of belonging within GGI. Where trust, love, humility and credibility have been built via her transparent, firm and cheerful mentoring style, through weekly teachings, counseling, question and answer sessions.
Pastor Bella’s Godly, accurate, friendly and to-the-point character, conduct, value and excellency in dishing out God’s unadulterated principles/standards, through words and music, are truly reflected in the running of GGI. She is easily accessible, approachable and generous with her time. There are no favorites in GGI.
As God Girls irrespective of our diverse administrative responsibilities, we all receive equal love, corrections and we are encouraged to work in compliance. I feel at ease in GGI, where I regained my confidence and boldness as a voice for my generation. I had lots of privileges; like to be corrected in love, to share The Word of God with females from across the globe, to write daily devotionals with the help of the Holy Spirit as led and to become a better communicator.
Pastor Bella assessed my challenges with precision, patience, love and kindness. She made me see the bigger picture of what God had been calling my full attention to for years. She is a great mentor and I count myself so privileged and blessed to have been under her mentorship successfully for all these years. Her feedback to me are consistently honest and to the point, which is just what I need.
I would recommend her as a mentor to every female and now Male (because we have The God Man Initiative GMI) aiming at living a purposeful life, wanting to arise and shine, developing their skills, talents or gifting and ready to take their rightful places in the society in any capacity. I wholeheartedly thank God for PBIM, for the lives of Pastor Bella and her family. No one should miss being either a God Girl or a God Man. For now is the time!
