”I was initially reluctant to participate in the Authentic You Coaching Program AUCP) as I thought at this age I should accept myself at my age just to get going with life. Alas, the course brought me face to face with myself and I realize with Biblical principles that faulty self image, unaddressed, hinders my relationship with God and others! It has been so liberating to know that accepting and loving “Authentic Me” is foundational to true liberation in Christ to be who I am created to be. I recommend this course to anyone who wants to fulfil life’s purpose no matter your age to take advantage of it. When you know better, you will live a better fulfilling life. You will be glad you did… I am glad that I did. – Juliana A
I knew something was missing but I didn’t know how to find what it was so of course I didn’t know how to deal with it. I reluctantly joined the Authentic You Coaching Program where I learned more about myself and I discovered what the problem was. I’m glad that I am on the road to ‘recovering’ myself and I can see that I have become more confident and more assertive. I’m glad that I didn’t miss the opportunity. Coach Bimpe helped me dig deep into myself and discover for myself and by myself what changes I needed to make. Thank you Coach Bimpe for making me a happier human being – Rita O
I really want to appreciate God for the grace and privilege to be part of this life changing Coaching Experience. Before engaging in this program, I have been pleading with God for help in my character development, majorly in the area of my emotions and self control. I easily get angry, over-react to issues, impatient and lack listening skills. In the course of the coaching, we were taught empowering skills such as : Connecting with Your Authentic Self, The Mirror Exercise, Who Are You and Affirming Yourself, amongst others. In order to deal with my shortfalls, I took the “Affirmation Exercise” very seriously. Affirming to myself daily, who I desire to be in Christ. I tell myself, “I am patient, I will not overreact to situations, I will listen more before I respond to people, I am Christ Ambassador, I hoist His flag over me wherever I go, I am mindful of how I talk, behave”. A day came in my Ministry Office where I serve, I have a colleague, the account of the Ministry who is very well known as a toxic person, harsh and very confrontational. I attended a meeting with our Set Woman in the office for about 30 minutes, my fan and lights were on. Due to the location of my office space, it is accessible to people as they walk past. On getting back from the meeting, she confronted me, charging at me that; In your house, can you leave the fan and lights on? I responded by informing her that I was away for a brief time. This lady will not listen, instead she threatened to remove the standing fan.To my greatest surprise, she had removed both the bulb and the fan! I was very angry, in irage. But, I remembered my every morning Affirmation and I calmed down. For a few days after the incident,anytime I recall the exchange we had, my stomach will turn with anger, again I will reaffirm my script, and promised the Holy Spirit I will not respond, until the anger subsided, I manage to put my emotions under control, ; even laugh, joke with her. After three weeks, I had almost completely forgotten, she walked into my office on a Monday morning and said to me “You have concluded that if I am tired I will bring back the fan and bulb’.” I just smiled.She fixed them back. After she left, I bursted into tears, I couldn’t believe I could succeed in control my emotions for three weeks, without fighting back or reporting her. I was so grateful to God for the work He has accomplished in me in controlling my emotions through Affirmation and Self talk. I give God all the glory and praise. He that hath begun this great work in my life should not stop but Continue to make me conform into the image of my LORD and Saviour, Jesus Christ. I found AUCP very helpful and empowering; I recommend the coaching program for all believers so they can learn to be conformed more and more to the image of our Lord Jesus. – Aminat N
