Life in Dubai: a young, black, single, self-employed, Christian woman

[@quishaiesha]

Bonge, you inspire me alot! I really want to build my own personal relationship with god for many reasons, and I love how you incorporate God into everything you do which is great because it shows you prioritize him before anyone and anything which is what I desire for the future with my own relationship with him. Also, im 26 and I've been stuck for a few years now due to fear and feeling like as if nothing will work out for me. I also in the past have tried things but nothing ever worked out for me and I don't know why. I always think I'm not good enough, pretty enough, smart enough for this world and it can be alot because I've always been made to feel lesser than by others and still experience that until this day soooo it's very hard for me. Sorry for the long message just needed to vent I truly do admire your channel and what you are doing for god and his purpose over your life and him having it all come into fruition for you. I LOVE THAT FOR U!

[@rosiebrooks7685]

Keep going sweety ,you are beautiful and we can do this the right way. CHRIST is Everything. I love you.

[@quishaiesha]

Thank u!

[@silentsound3364]

Exactly how I'm feeling right now! This has been my life too and it's exhausting but I guess we have to be patient and keep praying!

[@bongegumede]

Don’t ever be sorry for the long message my darling, I read all of it and appreciate you so much. And I want you to know that your value is in God, and He loves you! When we feel unloved by this world, know that He loves you, and more than anyone ever could. All things work out together for those who love God, and are called according to his plan and His purpose. Remain in Him, be kept in prayer and He will order your steps. I’m so grateful for you and I love you, and I see you. And you will do such beautiful things with that which God has given you ❤️

[@NgwanyanawaMotswana]

love & light mama , may God's grace locate you. 💌

[@NikkitaTonga2001]

The intro is a masterpiece✨

[@Nelz4]

I’m speechless 😮 you were showing your every 3am prayer, every 6pm Bible study while we were fasting and you had so much going on! Sana, it can only be God 🙌🏽🙌🏽

[@bongegumede]

It can only be God Sis Neli, it can only be God mama 🙏

[@bulanemdaka]

“He called you to it and not imagination of it.” This hit home.

[@ashleyquinones3758]

Oh my word. Bonge I am so proud of you. I remember not too long ago, you shared in a former video how you worked from your phone editing videos after you purchased a laptop. Now you’re in a new country and got a new job by God’s grace. Surely the lord looks after the steps of the righteous! Stay blessed and humble my friend. ❤ The future is bright. ✨✨✨

[@bongegumede]

Thank you so much Ash!! 🙏❤️ I appreciate you! The Lord is kind!!❤️

Girl i have never watched your vlogs but can you imagine I was just inspired by the thumbnail and subscribed before even watching cause feel like this is going to be my favourite channel ❤❤❤🎉

[@madlomonoddy]

Same sana!😅😅🥰🥰

[@Siviwe_M]

Subscribed because of the thumbnail too, this is the first vlog I’m watching and I Love it here already 🥹😍.

[@ob2be1]

Ma’am you were preaching in this vlog! This was encouraging as much as it was inspiring to watch. Your light is needed, thank you for allowing God to shine through you in the dark places. God bless and keep you 💕

[@rosiebrooks7685]

IM NEW RIGHT AT THIS MOMENT!! THANK YOU AND I NEEDED U. I THANK GOD AND CHRIST FOR YOU AND THIS PAGE.

[@zig2655]

The enemy was fighting me so hard to face the day and I prayed and forced myself to get out of bed and God led me to your video while running on the treadmill. This was so encouraging. God bless you and all my brothers and sisters in Christ! ❤

[@haveboldfaith]

This is my very first video I’ve watched of yours, as it’s the 1st I’ve heard of you. As a Christian, the title drew me in, but the content compelled me to subscribe!! While you’re fasting the Lord literally drops you into your next blessing. Come on!!! Look at God!! Good stuff!

[@Pride_Ndlovu]

Thank you so much Bonge for another blessing video. Honestly I was really attracted towards your content when I saw you moved to Dubai and I'm really happy to see that you're letting go and trusting God. Thank you for being so inspirational to many believers out there . God bless you 😊

[@TshegofatsoMagongwa]

You capture everything so well 😍🤌🏾

[@ItsDaijiaJanaa]

Just now started reading the Bible and first day back on KZbin in a couple days and came across your page.

[@bulanemdaka]

You are so relatable Bonge. Everything you said in the conversation near the end of the video man. God is so faithful to see us through and through and He finds joy in presenting us blameless before the presence of His glory one day this will all be worth it I just know it. Keep making the secret place your home, God is with you, the enemy has really been messing with our minds lately because He knows that is where our peace lies. Keep focusing on Him, I’m praying for you and the body of Christ as a whole. We will receive grace to finish strong. I love you stranger.🤍

[@shygirl8773]

Amen sis stay strong 🙏🏾 God is and will continue to use you. I know it’s hard but remember just like diamonds we as children of God are also refined through the fire and pressures of life but at the end we will be perfect in the eyes of God!!!

[@inam.m08]

a whole hour!? GOD BLESS YOU BONGE!!!!❤️🙏🏽 haven't even watched but i already know it's goin be good.

[@LadyHerself_]

Omg ❤ I’m so blessed I came across this channel just after I was looking for a new channel to subscribe to especially Christian girls from overseas who are rooted in Christ and this channel popped up on my screen 🙏 I’m so glad I manifest this !!! christian girl talk + aesthetic, personally this is what I was looking for and I don’t feel bad about it and remember we all have preferences and this is my preference ❤ I find your content very clean and I enjoy listening to you talk while I do other things around my place❤️

[@honoratha]

I feel refreshed and encouraged after watching this video ❤️ I’m going to read my bible then study right after.

[@bongegumede]

This!! 🙏🙏

[@workoutsbyzen7010]

Bonge, what a lovely aura you exude and it’s all Godly ❤ Thank you for being a reminder, inspiration for and to me.

[@nokulungathabethe3754]

Just discovered you and wow!!!! I resonate so much with almost everything you’ve said and listen SALVATION ..?! Is hard!!!!but the joy will have no mind has comprehend !

[@Mariicisneros]

I started watching you as a fitness influencer and I got closer to God and it makes me so happy that the music within the videos changed as well. ❤

[@shanicemason]

this is the first video of yours I've seen and I want to say thank you so much for your transparency. a lot of what you've shared and are going through resonates with me and even though I'm half way across the world from you, I was able to receive this message because of the calling on your life and your obedience. I pray that you will continue to share the Father's light in this world with courage and boldness. blessings Bonge🤗

[@Asisipho.Makana]

I love you so much Bonge. You're part of the reasons I'm still holding on. Grateful to God for using you. May He continue blessing you❤

[@b.nicole5203]

This is my first time seeing your channel and this video popped up on my feed. I’m only a few minutes in but I feel God wanted me to see this. New subbie🙏🏾😭

[@nokulungasimani]

This touched my heart ❤ In this system of things it is indeed important for us to live for God not ourselves❤️❤️ He mentions that we should come to him and he will give us peace.

[@nala..]

Hey girl. I love your transparaency in your faith walk. Keep during you and have FAITH in God.

[@BabalwaNyawe-c5q]

Hi Bonge I'm new to the channel. I've been looking for such content cause Christianity has really become an esthetic. You're God sent.

[@rorisanggoubapelo]

You left a link to the bible study group🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉thank you thank you

[@tsebomphirime4423]

These are such real, raw and honest emotions that a lot of us experience. My biggest mistake was thinking that following would feel easy - despite knowing that aligning my desires to His will would be difficult. I have seen so much abundance of growth in my spiritual and physical life, but in being pruned I have lost so many things, opportunities, dreams and people. And it sometimes hard to stay positive because blessings and struggles aren’t mutually exclusive. ❤ I’m new here and I am excited to join the family

[@cleoproctor8483]

Girl, you got me laughing so loud I understand everything that you’re saying right now. Oh my God but you’re gonna be great. I can’t wait to see what God is going to do with you🎉

[@mrsmc2612]

Wow! This is so interesting and awesome. You are so brave! Fellow follower in Christ here ❤

[@samarachinamasa]

May God continue to bless you!!!

Thank you so much Mama ❤️

[@sikhanyisomabuza8029]

You are such a beautiful, God fearing woman. I love your aura😍

[@Salad_Channel]

37:24 ''the devil has been devilling'' 😂 .. I learned this as well that do not NEGOTIATE! FLEE FROM THE DEVIL AND PRAY, focus your eyes on Jesus! May God continue to bless you Bonge and I can never thank you enough for the Daily Bread Bible Study, I enjoy it soooo much. We thank God for you.

[@FinanciallyFreeDeeTV]

Just came across your contents and you really have a nice videos. Keep slaying!🥰🤩

[@Sonysha.Sangare]

48 secs in the video and immediately subscribed. First time viewer here

[@minnieminnie5904]

Whew you spoke a word!!! New subbie here. I’ve been on my fitness journey but above all I’ve gotten closer to God but lately I’ve been slacking not only in fitness but I noticed I backslid from God and started slacking in other areas that the Lord pulled me away from. I just prayed and then you popped up on my feed!! 🙌🏽

[@cynthiaharmon9294]

Won’t he do it!!!!!! Hallelujah 🙌🏾

[@bongegumede]

Amen!

[@bulanemdaka]

Officially one of my favorite KZbin channels again , I use to watch your videos, I don’t know what happened, I just stopped seeing them on my feed but I’m so glad you popped up again. I’m so proud of you and your journey. So much has changed, what God is doing in your life is evident. ❤

[@bongegumede]

Aww thank you so much mama ❤️ I appreciate you!! ❤️

I already love your content as it is…but knowing that you live in Dubai just added another layer to your channel. I just subscribed. I live here too😜

[@babalwagamede9778]

" Believing comes at a cost" Definitely felt that one😓.. Sis you're such an inspiration, keep on doing the Lords work🙏Thank you for remaining obedient to the voice of Lord, he sees you and your reward is greater🙏🤍💛💙

[@thangub5458]

OMG my first time coming across you and your channel I already love you You are so relatable, you are so real I’m a new believer and you just encouraged me how you talking at the end of the video it’s soo true the Gospel is no childs play i quite everything I was doing earthly things and yep it’s very hard but at the same time soo worth it my sister let’s keep going, the joy that’s coming can’t even be compared

[@simplyakida]

Bonge thank you for allowing God to speak through you. When I first came across your channel earlier this year I was just here for the exercises but now I look forward to your videos because they encourage me in my walk with God. May God continue to bless you ❤

[@TeneleDlamini-jx6lt]

I just came across your channel, having 2 months before my visa expires have no plan for accommodation ,believing in getting placement in a school with accommodation , you just gave me courage ❤❤

[@thubelihle_ncube]

Had me in the first 2 seconds love your channel already!!

[@adepa_00]

I would suggest for you to follow Uchemba if you need any inspiration. She is a christian fitness content creator and her journey is really inspiring. Very relatable to what you discussed about the body.❤ I love how your content has improved, how you have improved as a woman, it is really encouraging. Keep going!❤

[@tenzacare]

Ok, I had to come on here, I've been binge watching you for a while, not even sure how I found you, this video spokeeeeeeeeeeeee to me, I have been wanting to do youtube but with a faith based basis, not for likes, nor views, but I have been feeling like the holy spirit has been calling me for ministry. Girl!!! The way you spoke to meeeee!!!!! You've blessed me!!! girl thank you for this Christian space.

[@EllieBattes]

Really enjoyed this video. The style and format and then the chat and informative conversation about the body and God. It’s His temple and not something to be idolised for the way it just looks. Same with our whole appearance and like you mentioned leaving the house without makeup hair done etc! Can really relate. Thank you for speaking on this!!! ❤️🙏🏻

[@emmanuellatieku2901]

Bonge when I started following your channel there was something about you, besides the fact that you are boss with pushups (and I learnt how to do pushups from you.) . I started cleaning out my social media to make sure what I watched glorified God, so that even if I spent time on it I was consuming Christian content, and you just started sharing faith more seriously, the way I praised God, He knows what He is doing. May God be with you and strengthen and give you true joy. Praying for you in your times of weakness. ❤❤❤❤

Whatever you are saying in your prayers, I’m also saying Amen and Amen again and again to me as well. I really appreciate you so much and the person you are becoming. I am super grateful for you and your work that you have done through choosing God rather than focusing on what is being influenced by our peers in our lives. More blessings upon blessings in your life ❤.

[@vuyiswamangeni3769]

Thank you for speaking about building a relationship with God, we have a few people who speak of Him in truth and you are one of them. The refining moments that God put one through are worth everything. My motto everyday is i was a rebel for over 30 years and i should be patient with the process of refining because there is a lot that the Holy Spirit has to teach me and i also need to unlearn so i can relearn. As long as I am walking with Him, following His lead i am happy. There is so much peace in the Lord, i pray everyone gets to experience it. He says narrow is the gate and only few will make it. May you continue to draw strength from the Lord.

[@Claire-rq9cg]

I really need to incorporate “not resisting the devil” in my life and just call God. You’re so right on this. The devil knows us very well just like God.

Bonge I just love you my sister in Christ and my fellow South African. How amazing is God I too struggle with Anger at times and God has shown me this. I believe he has delivered me from this stronghold and he wants to teach us patience. I really want to move to Dubai however I was afraid that there isnt any Christians or Church's. Please let us know about this.

[@zanelemhlongo9435]

[@snelihlemaphumulo6627]

I bumped into this video on my KZbin and it was no coincidence. I believe the Lord wanted me to encounter you at this season in my life. Watching how disciplined and uncompromising you are about your faith is an inspiration. Your vulnerability, honesty and boldness touched me. You are indeed a vessel that God is using for our generation. May the good Father renew your strength and continue to guide you on your journey. THANK YOU for all you do! I thank the Almighty God for allowing me to know you. I BELIEVE my 2025 will be so different because of the seeds you've planted in me through this video alone. You are amazing ! Proverbs 4:18 May your light keep shining. Love, from Durban - KZN

Hi Bonge! While watching the end part of your video where your having a heart-to-heart before your Bible study, I heard scriptures in Psalm 91 being recited. I recommend reading Psalm 91 and worship/praising God!!!
