Holy Spirit inspired the title of my book – Toke Makinwa

Author and socialite, Toke Makinwa, has claimed that the title of her bestselling book, ‘On Becoming’, was inspired by the Holy Spirit

The 32-year-old, in an Instagram post on Thursday, wrote, “The Holy Spirit gave me that name”.

Reminiscing about the last few years of her life, which included the crash of her marriage to fitness expert, Maje Ayida, and the social media drama that ensued from it, Toke explained that her response remains same when asked if she has been the only one to go through tough times.

In the midst of past events like her divorce petitions against Maje and he in turn suing her for defamation, she revealed that her story is still being written.

Someone asked me why the title “On Becoming”. The Holy Spirit gave me that name. I remember thinking of a name for this project and when I got “OnBecoming…” i wasn’t quite sure why or what it meant in totality but on a flight to Houston yesterday it hit me, I am a work in progress, no full stop till I’m gone. I am unfinished, incomplete, the story is stil being written, the race is long and God has given me purpose. The last few years of my life hasn’t been the easiest but thru it all I have grown, I am becoming. I’ve heard people say ” are you the only one to go thru tough times” and my response remains the same. – what did you do with what you went thru? How did you help someone else grow thru your struggle, the purpose is always bigger than the pain, did you learn all you have to keep it to yourself? It’s ok not to get the vision, it is not for everyone. I feel Empowered, I feel chosen, and again the lord has sent me on another mission. Something big is coming.. #Imusthavemyown #OnBecomingEmpowered #2017mission #onbecomingbytokemakinwa #onbecomingmedatour #itsbiggerthanme
