The wife of Nigerian singer, Bez Idakula, Tito, on Sunday disclosed that she had two abortions at an early stage of her life and dealt with the shame for a long time.
The daughter former governor of Oyo State, Rashidi Ladoja, further stated that she had an abortion because she felt that was the only option available at the time.
Tito noted that when she was married and had decided to give birth, she suffered a miscarriage, adding that she thought it was God punishing her for her actions.
She, however, stated that her thoughts were wrong as she did not understand the salvation she has in Christ. She noted that the death and resurrection of Christ took away the shame and guilt.
Tito disclosed that she now has three babies with her husband, which is proof that Christa has set her free with grace.
Read her post on Twitter;
“I’ve had 2 abortions. I was scared and wasn’t ready. I took the only options I thought were available to me at the time.”
“And even in this age of pro-choice, I am not personally proud of the choices I made. And I lived in shame and guilt for years.”
“It almost crippled me when I found myself fighting for the life of my daughter. I couldn’t stop thinking: “I deserve this punishment. Now I’m ready, and God is finally ready to get me back.”
“But then I didn’t understand the salvation and righteousness that I have in Christ. That in his death and resurrection Jesus Christ destroyed my shame and gave me a new name.”
“A new beginning. A new identity. Even in the midst of my ‘sin’ and deepest shame, God couldn’t have punished me because that is what Christ took on when he chose that sacrifice.”
“In the stripes and death, he took all my sin and in His resurrection, he set me FREE. What GRACE! So undeserved. I mean, my husband and 3 babies are proof of God’s Grace! I thought: “I have to earn it”, this love, this mercy, this grace.”
“I thought: I must WORK for this righteousness. I must show that I deserve it. But nothing I did ever felt enough. Until one day I got it: “righteousness (right standing) is the gift of choosing Christ. It is nothing you can ever work for. With this comes the freedom to be and to do!”
“You begin to know, that your works are just you walking in agreement with what God has already done.
I am here doing all that I do because nothing holds me back. No guilt, no condemnation, no shame! Christ took it all.”
“Today is EASTER SUNDAY! Christ rose today. He destroyed the power of death! He set us FREE! Stop punishing yourself, stop thinking it is by your works, stop judging others because quite frankly none of us deserve anything, Christ is the one who paid the price making us WORTHY & FREE!”
“If you are still burdened by the spirit of condemnation, open yourself to the gift of life from Christ. Accept his salvation today. Invite him into your heart. Release it all to him. He loves you so much, he died for you. HAPPY EASTER!”
