Amina, please permit to disclose to you that there are responsible guys in the Uk, but you’re presentation is not showing your quality. The first impression matters a lot . A Random gentleman will think you’re young and immature just buy seeing the colour of nails you fix even the long nails you have on, a simple look is more classy looking to distinguished men in general. Please I want you to consider this. Get rid of the fake eyelashes, it’s very important you don’t keep such as your daily makeup. Men see women with fake eyelashes as superficial, high maintenance and young. Serious men want moderate made up women. Don’t look worldly if you’re looking for a man with faith. May God help you see truth and understanding in what I’m trying to tell you. You’re a wonderful beautiful lady and I want you to win. Stay blessed

law 1 Corinthians 6:18-20 speaks on one fleeing from sexual immorality as it is a sin and our bodies are temples of the Holy Spirit and our body is God’s. Sexual immorality includes fornication which is why it is necessary as a Christian to abstain from sex outside of marriage. Also Romans 2:11 says there is no partiality with God so if you refrain from sexual immoral behavior yet still are sinful in other areas you don’t receive favor. Sin is sin to God whether it’s sexual or not.

Lots of women are celibate. That’s very common. So I would just say to ladies, don’t let it bother you. Try to stop thinking things like: “I’m 23 or 27 or whatever and still a virgin.” Bcuz the reason you’re celibate or still a virgin has nothing to do with sex. You’re celibate bcuz you don’t want an unreal relationship. To be in it by yourself with someone feeding on you, which is being there on business and draining you out and you don’t count with them. In other words, you don’t want to bother with a guy who just want sex or to use you. Which is 100% right on your part. Just keep on keeping on. And when you encounter people who naysays celibacy or you being celibate, don’t let it bother you, and simply realize that they don’t know any better. Especially if their personal life is a bigger mess than yours. They may be getting the thang thang regularly, but they are also getting a whole lot of bullshit with it. That remember, you are free of. So you got the right idea... Stay on your journey.

​@@JenarraTreadwell alot of it depends on your own spiritual beliefs to be honest. Im more of the african spirituality which involves talking to my ancestors, (meditating) telling them, yo... "I done messed up, y'all was right about this fool, teach me, guide me, Yes, I will be stupid again, but that's why y'all here to guide me out of this stupidity" (I talk to them literally as if they're here, they're family! ) ... before that I bathe in black soap, florida water, sage the whole house, clean the whole house, declutter the whole house. There's more to it to be honest, but small steps. If its truly a journey to re ground yourself without attachments to religion or spirituality , you might like bathing in rose/flower petals, oils, milk... things that make you feel super feminine, to regain the feminine essence you lost from your previous relationship. Others, you know, christians for example spend some time praying, meditation, going to church, fellowshipping with their church family... and alot of times, it's a combination of any of the ways I've mentioned. Honestly, it's whatever you feel in your heart you truly need. It's your journey. Depending on how well you know yourself, It might take a long time, that's why I recommended minimum of 1 year,

[@Ebizzill]

there's this book... called An Intro to Breaking Soul Ties and Womb Cleansing, by Art Cathey (with a foreword from Chief Montana), it's a REALLY good book to get you started in understanding how African spirituality works, you have to be open minded though... cuz the author she's quite controversial. lol.

Sis, I don't get the 'buh it's a long time'. I get you don't mean any harm by this but there's no need for a but, no need for her to be discouraged. The only but over here is.. but GOD. Because Lamentations 3:24-26 "The LORD is my portion," says my soul, "Therefore I have hope in Him." The LORD is good to those who wait for Him, To the person who seeks Him. It is good that he waits silently For the salvation of the LORD. Romans 8:28 28 And we know that in all things God works for the good of those who love him, who have been called according to his purpose. Romans 10:11 As scripture says, "Anyone who believes in him will never be put to shame." Truth is how can you wait in vain if you are waiting on the CREATOR, THE MAKER OF HEAVEN AND EARTH who CAN DO ALL THINGS AND WITHOUT HIM NOTHING WOULD EXIST! This is the beauty of faith. We don't just believe. We believe in guaranteed assurance KNOWING Numbers 23:19 God is not a man, that He should lie, Nor a son of man, that He should repent; Has He said, and will He not do it? Or has He spoken, and will He not make it good? Listen our GOD is real. HE is alive and well and HE sees the waiting. And HE WILL NOT FAIL! DOES NOT FAIL! CAN NOT FAIL! We have to understand there's something called GODS timing. Ecclesiastes 3:1 There is a time for everything, and a season for every activity under the heavens: And the fact that Ecclesiastes 3:11 God has made everything beautiful in its time. He has also set eternity in the human heart; yet no one can fathom what God has done from beginning to end. GOD knows HIS plans for your life. Jeremiah 29:11 For I know the plans I have for you,” declares the Lord, “plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future. We have to trust HIM. HE knows what's best for us. And HE wants to guide us into HIS perfect will for our lives. So no, no matter how long we wait, we do not wait in vain. Because faith is HE!! Hebrews 10:23 Let us hold unswervingly to the hope we profess, for he who promised is faithful. AND HE WILL FULFIL HIS PROMISE!!! 2 Corinthians 1:20 For no matter how many promises God has made, they are "Yes" in Christ. And so through him the "Amen" is spoken by us to the glory of God. So we don't doubt. We say YES AND AMEN!! Therefore brethren, everything reading this be encouraged! GOD knows why HE did it this way. Because HE loves you and wants to protect you. Sex is a gift to be unwrapped in the institution of marriage. Let's live a life pleasing and honouring to GOD as it says in Romans 12:1-2 Therefore, I urge you, brothers and sisters, in view of God’s mercy, to offer your bodies as a living sacrifice, holy and pleasing to God-this is your true and proper worship. 2 Do not conform to the pattern of this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind. Then you will be able to test and approve what God’s will is-his good, pleasing and perfect will. SO KEEP GOING! You aren't alone. Galatians 6:9 And let us not be weary in well doing: for in due season we shall reap, if we faint not. GOD bless you 💕

STAND FIRM ! When I find myself tempted or thinking "What If..." I think about how far I've come, how God changed me and blessed me since I decided to refrain from that specific act, and know the time amount of time I've been waiting is not bigger than the blessing that is ahead of me. Sometimes our bad decisions pushes us further away from reaching our destiny. Then, I think about the guilt I felt when I fell into that temptation awhile back because I was pleased within that moment and I was disappointed in myself, sick to the stomach, and had no choice but to get on my knees and ask God for forgiveness once again. We are playing this game called Life, we are given so many chances, How ? When we wake up in the morning and God placed breath in our bodies. There will always be temptation but seek the Kingdom of GOD and read his word whenever an ounce or a grain of thought about parting from your celibacy journey clouds your judgement. The enemy isn't happy, he's wondering why is Amina leaving such great pleasure and will try to talk into your head and purposely allow you to see those who are "living their best life" with their flesh. Ask God to give you understanding and deeper clarity about "The Wait" that he soar with you above the storms of confusion and question. You did it for 15 years and I am sure you can do it for some more, till you have the ring, wedding, and exchange vows from a man who seeked God's heart before wanting yours.

Yes sis, that's it! Galatians 1:10 Am I now trying to win the approval of human beings, or of God? Or am I trying to please people? If I were still trying to please people, I would not be a servant of Christ. CHRIST tells us to do so for great reason/reasons. And the core of that is HIS GREAT love for us. HE doesn't tell us not to have sex before marriage to limit us or restricts us but to free & protect us. We also need to obey HIM. And sis, YOU CAN do all things through CHRIST JESUS who strengthens you. (Philippians 4:13) What you are doing is beautiful and GOD is not blind nor deaf to it. Trust the process, and trust the wait. Also trust HIS divine timing for GOD is perfect and so is ALL HE does. TRUST THE LORD GOD ALMIGHTY! Ecclesiastes 3:1 3 There is a time for everything, and a season for every activity under the heavens. Ecclesiastes 3:11 He has made everything beautiful in its time. He has also set eternity in the human heart; yet[a] no one can fathom what God has done from beginning to end. Sis, if your believing and trusting in GOD then you are literally in the best hands, the safest hands, the sweetest hands. Because it is HIM who created you with love, in love, and it is HIM who knows what's best for you and your life. Jeremiah 29:11 For I know the plans I have for you,” declares the Lord, “plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future. So we continue to press on in faith knowing Galatians 6:9 Let us not become weary in doing good, for at the proper time we will reap a harvest if we do not give up. Romans 12:1-2 Therefore, I urge you, brothers and sisters, in view of God’s mercy, to offer your bodies as a living sacrifice, holy and pleasing to God-this is your true and proper worship. 2 Do not conform to the pattern of this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind. Then you will be able to test and approve what God’s will is-his good, pleasing and perfect will. And HIS will for you dear sis is that, perfect. So be encouraged! GOD has not forgotten you!! As for your friends sis. GOD's Word tells us that Proverbs 27:17 As iron sharpens iron, so one person sharpens another. I'm not saying they are terrible people but truthfully 2 Corinthians 6:14 Do not be yoked together with unbelievers. For what do righteousness and wickedness have in common? Or what fellowship can light have with darkness? Sin separates us from GOD. We must be careful who we walk with being reconciled to CHRIST. 1 Corinthians 15:33 Do not be deceived: “Bad company ruins good morals.” Proverbs 27:9 "Oil and perfume make the heart glad, and the sweetness of a friend comes from his earnest counsel" 1 Thessalonians 5:11 Therefore encourage one another and build one another up, just as you are doing. Hebrews 10:24-25 And let us consider how to stir up one another to love and good works, not neglecting to meet together, as is the habit of some, but encouraging one another, and all the more as you see the Day drawing near. GOD makes it very clear the necessity to walk with like-minded people. People who will build you up in your faith. GOD knows we can get discouraged, things happen that's why Godly community is imperative. Ecclesiastes 4:9 'Two are better than one, because they have a good reward for their toil. For if they fall, one will lift up his fellow. But woe to him who is alone when he falls and has not another to lift him up! Praise be to JESUS who is our HELPER and also picks us up. But remember though, JESUS had HIS seeet fellowship with the FATHER. HE demonstrated to us the need for Godly community (his disciples.) I'd suggest you prayerfully seek GOD because GOD has great things for you. And Christ-like brethren is one. For us all. GOD bless you! Stay encouraged in the LORD. 💕

May God give us the strength to continue to resist lustful thoughts and falling into temptation 💗🤗

[@dr.panee91]

I was blessed by the honesty and transparency of this vid! Legit, the journey can be peak sometimes, however, thank God for His steadfast love and abundant Grace to be committed to the journey. That even includes moments when one falls but doesn't use that to remain side-tracked. Praying for all of y'all to remain firm in your decision, and for those who are Christians, that the good news of The Gospel gives you strength!

15 years? Wow you look 15 yourself 😂😂, this is my 3rd year 😒 I can't imagine 15 years sis. Stay strong.

[@bluebelle6833]

Me too,

[@mxmmianaxo1160]

15 years is a longggg time girl, i give it to you!

[@chidinmaorie7700]

My cousin is 27years

[@salmasky9739]

Cardis inserts took me TF out. 😂 But relevant because your WHY is always a great way to centre you. As for me I’m just gonna watch my celibate friend Amina while I enjoy my 7th year of guilt free married life. 😂 I had to. 😉

[@NinaAnthonyVlogs]

I started my abstinence journey recently. I'm so happy I've made this decision now. I've also realised you can't do it alone, you need God.

[@Dhammilicious]

I'm also on a celibacy journey,5 years now.I haven't discussed this with anyone because for me,it's my personal journey. I've also asked God when!I still trust God to be married

[@LuxuriousGlamourStudio]

I think we should have a “Celibate speed dating” event where people in this comment section all gather cause chile’ these people be tryna try before they buy. Therefore we get to meet like minded boyfriends/girlfriends if not at best friends who hold each other accountable 👌🏾💃🏽 Event not in London though cause it’s not everyday London sometimes East Midlands 😭😂 Congratulations on 15 years baby may God give your forever man & may he be amazing in every which way 😏😉😂 (sorry mum)

[@ReShea90]

So refreshing. I can relate sis! No matter how tired I may get, there’s nothing like the peace that comes with following Gods will for your life. Celibacy is so rare... stay strong queens! And kings... if there are any watching :)

[@chidinmaorie7700]

How many years

[@mikeskybrowser]

9:17 is a good point, there are definitely times when I have to remind myself of the reasons why I'm doing this to strengthen my conviction. I also hear what you're saying at 11:27 some people don't care to understand they just want to argue and that can be on any kind of topic. Keep the journey up, I've been going for over 15 years now.

[@SherrieSilver]

Thank you for being so open ❤️

[@msrhianna]

I find that when we admit that we’re tired and weary, God sends the breakthrough! Hang in there girl, you’re almost there!❤️

[@GiftWogu]

Your memes, lol. Your journey is so inspiring. God will give you deserve what you deserve soon.

[@GiftWogu]

@Delonte Hollister This is a mean thing to say. God will give her the man she deserves.

[@ALPHAROYCE]

i’ve been celibate for almost 3 years & single for 5. might not be as long but i totally feel you. it gets frustrating but it’s better than wasting time with people who totally aren’t worth it. everything happens in divine timing 💚

[@corirayelle1775]

She is truly a Benevolent Genius in how she accentuates Truth and the reality of the matter. Please keep making videos

[@Neimavictor0]

Your not alona Amina. GIRL,... your not alone!!! Im 11 years in. ELEVEN!!! I dont mind waiting until. Bottom line it's worth it and I'm not giving myself to anyone who isn't my SOULMATE. I'm worth it and so are you. Much Love🙌💜. The reason I SUBSCRIBE to you many, many moons ago is because of your first celibacy video. So girl we in this together.

[@oalatishe]

Thank you for the transparency Amina❤️❤️ celibacy is much harder than said done. I believe you should continue to be honest with yourself and God because it is one of those struggles we need the Holy Spirit help with because honestly we cannot do it on our own🙏🏿

[@lifeaccordingtodiamond240]

It’s definitely hard out here but hearing you speak the truth about the struggle is really encouraging and necessary! Thanks for being so transparent! ❤️

[@Star-os3xd]

I am so proud of you. Keep the people around you holy and your mind renewed. You are on the right track!!!! :D

[@Chocolate-n7v]

It's been 12years of of my celibacy and no one knows how long. My friends and family are aware that I been single for some years but they don't know the exact years. I just believe sex is not the answer to my happiness and I'm doing just fine.

[@Kingiscoming]

Just beginning my celibacy journey & God has steered me to your page. I appreciate your beautiful words of encouragement & honesty, hoping to be where you are one day!

[@moonshine8509]

I'm practicing celibacy not because I'm waiting for marriage (I don't want to get married or have kids), but because I REALLY REALLY REALLY want to heal myself😭😭I've never thought about it as a spiritual thing, but maybe now I should.

[@yinkawilson697]

I relate when you talked about ppl asking questions about your journey only to argue and make you sound or think you're crazy .i've been on my celibacy journey a year and five mths now and i've already encounter those kind of ppl,why can't they understand it's how i want to live my life pleasing to god and just because i've lived a life of having sex doesn't mean i'm trying to belittle anyone .it's just my journey and ppl should just respect that ,periodt.

[@MaryBieber7]

I am a virgin (I’m 22) and I am going through something similar to you. Question: in terms of the sexual thoughts, what do you do when reading the Bible and praying doesn’t seem to be working to combat the thoughts? I really try, but sometimes I fall in the way of “self pleasuring,” and it’s hard sometimes. I understand that God desires our purity, and not just our virginity. My prayer has been to have clean hands and a pure heart, but I’m still a work in progress.😪

[@naomia5475]

Mary Y. Read 1st Corinthians 6:12-18, Colossians 3. Meditate on these passages. God will help you

[@MaryBieber7]

@@naomia5475 I read both passages and I appreciate you sharing, however, my question was how to overcome lustful thoughts, not which scriptures condemn it. I am already aware that it is a sin, the question was how to effectively move forward.

[@maameA19]

Mary Y. Take up sports, and activities in church, your youth etc. so that it takes up your time. Talk with your pastor. Hope this helped.

[@MaryBieber7]

@Fìfì Fẹ́mi Thank you! So true.

[@ogeym9316]

Omg girl same here😭

[@1elephant200]

Your strength of faith is so inspiring. I'm blown away! It's refreshing to see someone put their beliefs across with logic and no aggression. May the Almighty always guide you :)

[@orfenaorfena790]

Not even started and already liked the video 🙌🏾

[@thisisamina]

💕

[@princess287love]

I’m 22 and I’m a virgin. Trying to wait till marriage, buttttt... it’s not easy 😩😂

[@kimberlyturner820]

Dare to be different. Keep waiting.

[@AkosuaSerwaa-]

Never give up Michelle, the wait will definitely be worth it

[@jenniferchizzy6401]

Turned 22 last month and still a virgin, it's not easy but am not giving up.

[@loretta.o1806]

Keep your eyes on the Lord and the Holy Spirit will help you

[@kerrissalove]

Wow I can relate to the parts of this video where you said you can't talk to people about certain things because they just want to make you feel like your weird but I'm finding that it's intimidating to others when you take control and have self control it reminds them about how weak in spirit they are but you just got to keep doing what you believe and trust God sis 🙌

[@Winifred_N]

I love how honest and open you are about this topic! I'm rooting for you boo 🙌🏾 God is going to bless you reaaalll good, you'll see 🤗💗

[@daraoyedijo]

Amina, I have never been more led to comment on a video and I just want to let you know you are an incredible woman. Telling your truth is very admirable and I hope all your wishes come to pass very soon.

[@HisWill4214]

Thank you for this video. I'm a believer too and I'm 5 years Celibate and Really struggling! I know I didn't run into this video by coincidence, this was a part of God's grace and love for me! New subscriber 😊

[@jampelmk9044]

You inspire me to continue on my celibacy journey. I have failed several times and fell into temptation but I make it a point to get back up and this video really and truly inspired me to stick to my journey and my promise to be obedient to God. ❤️❤️❤️

[@lotusky283]

I've haven't had sex for 28 years! Best decision ever!

[@preciousenyi]

Wow! I never knew i had partners, cos I'm almost feeling like I'm abnormal. Close friends begin to see it like I'm deceiving myself. People don't even believe when you talk about anything close to being celibate or being a virgin. Thanks for letting us know that we aren't alone.🤗 much love all the way from Naija 🇳🇬 Sis Amina

[@asahiasmith]

Girl all of this! ALL OF THIS!!! You’re not the only one. Stay strong sis! 💪🏾

[@soulstrength]

13:25 I feel you! I stay praying to God for strength in this area because I don't want to sin against my body and dishonor him in that way....but the struggle is real. 💯

[@gyabaaadutwumwaa6583]

I just started my celibacy journey, and it’s soooooo hard! Like you get to that point and you say no, allowing that D to just go scot free is 😬😬😬. But I feel being celibate can even help you recognize who really wants you for you and not your body alone.

[@sadessamsung7221]

Stay strong, thought it was impossible till I met someone even more principled than me! I even wanted to give in but he wouldn’t let me 😩 Just continue to enjoy your relationship with God, He’s got you....

[@janeudotai8087]

It makes so much sense, thanks Aunty Amina❣ May God's grace keep on leading you

[@g.m.j.witholami8650]

Thank you Amina, very soon the good Lord will connect you to the right one.

Its good to know that there are women out here like you! Makes me feel like I'm not in this thing alone 😂. Thanks for the honesty!😚 October of this year will be 3yrs for me, God will send the right one in due time! His timing is always perfect!💜 #NewSubscriber

[@mxmmianaxo1160]

also what’s your daughters thoughts about your journey?

[@eccentricways2442]

Like being a teenager in a Christian household must be hard.

[@adwoaarmah5020]

Amina ! I want to come to the wedding and be the first to watch the “The end of my Celibacy video” ‼️ I love 💗

[@Simon.EJeann]

This video editing 🔥, I was cracking up 😂, the inserted memes had me rolling . Thank you for your transparency.

[@lannyogarro1609]

my life!! It does get lonely and sometimes I feel like maybe there isn't anyone for me! But when I pray and read my bible, God promise me that there is someone for me, my body is worth more than anything in the world. I cannot risk giving my body to these type of worldly men. As women we should be very careful there are many nasty spirit out here that come to destroy. So I'll wait for my husband no matter how long it is, ima trust in God.

[@feyisolaayodeji1629]

Good luck with the journey girl 😘 pray God continues to guide you, and in his time rewards you with the man you deserve !

[@kristalmcdonald8487]

Thank you,you help me a lots,am grateful for you...

[@kaykiss226]

My celibacy isn't based around religious beliefs. I am not a religious person jus choose to protect my physical and spiritual being. I'm on a continuous journey of self love and self care. Knowing my worth and what I deserve. I want more for myself. I'm 32 Its been 3yrs going into yr 4 it gets difficult but it's well worth the sacrifice. THANK YOU FOR THIS VIDEO.💕💕

[@favornwosu4672]

Thank God for you sharing this because I neededdddd this 😩.

[@itssaraisworld]

Thank you for sharing!! ❤️ I completely agree with about watching people that are also on the journey for encouragement. Defiantly encouraged even more with my journey.

[@lovedbyjesus7217]

Just let hin know where you stan at ...if he likes you for real he will wait If not , then its time for le scissors

[@pumpkinseed1981]

It has been six years for me.... When the LOVE of God is deep rooted.... I am a born again Christian and yes if it had not been for the Lord who was on my side! This spiritual journey has been amazing! James 1:12 “Blessed is the man that endureth temptation: for when he is tried, he shall receive the crown of life, which the Lord hath promised to them that love him.”

[@jesusfamilyracingaviation8641]

I know how you feel my friend. I'm going on 13 years and it is a huge struggle. It never gets any easier as the years are moving along. I'm 38 never had a real relationship with a woman nor any children or obviously no marriage. Jesus helped me through it too. God bless you in Jesus Christ mighty awesome name and greatness.

[@esosa121]

God bless you sis, stay strong, God knows whats best for you and he will keep you and find the one for you. Love you so much, love that you are also honest. 💜💜💜💜Things are tough sometimes so we all need to speak sometimes. Pray about the thoughts too, it works trust me. The devil makes it hard but God is in control.

[@mosunshine9265]

Thank you for this video!!! I love you for this. I related to you on every aspect sis. Lord knew I needed this

[@521Life]

Keep up the fight sis...I don’t know you, and have never heard of you, but I love what I hear, like what I see.

[@whenblacklivesmatterallliv6247]

No wonder you look young!! There is no harm in that. In fact it is better!!!

[@jessicasebastiao9069]

I'm 20 and celibate. It's definitely a struggle because people my age don't really date seriously it's mainly sex. But it's a great filter for people who are interested in you for the wrong reasons because eventually they get tired when they realise you aren't giving up 😂 I'm very open with my faith in friendships and getting to know people so I find that helps because no-one is really too shocked when I say I'm celibate. I can relate a lot to what was said here, it's definitely a struggle but reminding yourself the reason for why you've done it in the first place, always keeps me motivated again.
