Your Primary was ‘The Otter’, with your Secondary coming in as ‘The Retriever’, and here are the descriptions of your Personalities, and how they can be used for God

Otter- Otters are very social creature. Otter personalities love people. They enjoys being popular and influencing and motivating others. Otter can sometimes be hurt when people do not like them. Otter personalities usually have lots of friends, but not deep relationships. They love to goof-off. (They are notorious for messy rooms.) Otters like to hurry and finish jobs. (Jobs are not often done well.) The otter personality is like Tigger in Winnie The Pooh.

Strength: People person, open, positive
Weakness: Talks too much, too permissive
Limitation: Remembering past commitments, follow through with discipline

Golden Retriever- Good at making friends. Very loyal. Retriever personalities do not like big changes. They look for security. Can be very sensitive. Very caring. Has deep relationships, but usually only a couple of close friends. Wants to be loved by everyone. Looks for appreciation. Works best in a limited situation with a steady work pattern.

Strength: Accommodating, calm, affirming
Weakness: Indecisive, indifferent, unable to express emotional, too soft on other people
Limitation: Seeing the need to be more assertive, holding others accountable

[E]xperience

My brief testimony of how I became a Christian

I started attending nifes in my 200/300level in the university but wasnt serious until my 400 level first semester in 2013 before i went for my IT and that was when i did an altar call that changed my life and i started being more conscious about getting close to God

Ministry Experience (Where I have served in the past, if applicable, including ChurchName, City/State, Position, Years Involved):

school days i use to be in the choir in the catholic church, before nysc i was an usher in the catholic church, during nysc i was a chorister in nccf and in winners church akwa ibom, after nysc i joined sanctuary in winners jikwoyi and jahi abuja.

Since i relocated to lagos july last year i havent joined any unit because i was still looking for a church that ticked my checklist so i only went for sunday service in canaanland and mid week service at osapa

List 3 Positive experiences from the past that made a big impact on who you are today:

1, first experience was in nifes, futo, i have never really experineced any pentecoastal church routine and i liked how they welcomed first timer, how they had special ministration that always kept me in tune with the spirit and most importantly our own time of small groups like sisters meeting where you can share issues and learn from others

2, the second was nccf ikot abasi, being with them really helped me grow because that was the first time i ever went for morning cry in my life,then our regular different activities we did in the family house that kep our spirtual life high, oh i can never forget rural rugged, i feel like that was the biggest spiritual moment of my life and they made me lead praise for the first time in my life

List 3 Negative Experiences from your past that have helped to Shape me, but also have given you great compassion for others going through similar circumstances:

heart break

Financial issues

delay in everything i ever wanted
