Around March 2017, in a Rhapsody of Realities group, someone posted a link for general Ebooks. I, being a lover of books quickly tried joining, only to be disappointed that it was full. I kept trying. Days, weeks, and months passed without success until after about 5 months, I was successfully admitted.
One of their rules stated that only the admin can share books and it is one book per day and nothing more. After 3 days in the group, out of excitement, (even without seeing or reading the rules) I shared 18 ebooks in my collection thinking they would love it. Many people appreciated it but the next morning, when I came online, I saw that I had been removed for breaking the rules. I apologized but there was no place for forgiveness, I was not allowed to rejoin the group.
I was crushed and devastated. People from that group were coming to my inbox to ask for more books, and yet that was all I had neither did I know of any websites to download free books. But God was in it, working a better plan.
In desperation, that same week in August 2017, God birthed an idea in me. I decided that I would create a group so that the people who join would just share the books they had. I created a group and called it Christian Library. I didn’t expect it to get to 50 members let alone full. I did not know that God had brought the idea so that He would reach the whole world.
In about a week the group got full, and many people were saying that their friends wanted to get in but the group was full. I didn’t know what next to do. Then came Victory Obed, hr asked me to create another group but I was reluctant and told him I would think about it. I didn’t know that it was God. He created group 2 and added me to it and I told him to be in charge of it. I created Group 3 and Bishop Doe became its admin. My Prince, Pizzazz who later became General Admins, and others came in and God was sending many people to help as admins. It was then I understood that when a group gets filled, I have to create a new one. At that year I was unemployed, so I kept myself busy praying, reading, and creating groups.
From there I kept on creating and filling groups. Any participating member became a target and a potential admin, I would go to their inbox and ask them to help. And God gave us amazing helping hands and expansion. I could go weeks without data but when I come online, I would be so encouraged by the testimonies in the groups. The testimonies became the fuel that made me want to reach more and more people around the world. Someone came up with the idea of having overseers, and it also helped to make the work lighter and even more effective.
