Felix Makanjuola Jr

Felix Makanjuola Jr trained as a lawyer and was called to the English Bar in 2007. He is a man of distinction with a clear sense of purpose who is willing to stand in the face of adversity. His anointing is evident and the trademark dynamism associated with him, injects ‘life’ and restoration everywhere he goes. FMJ or PFMJ as he is called by friends and family is a teacher, worshipper and an expositor of the Word of God with zeal to see eyes brighten with understanding. He serves as pastor of The Place of Victory for all the Nations in Swansea, a part of the Redeemed Christian Church of God. He is also appointed on various boards as chairman, trustee and CEO of non-governmental organisations and companies. Sharing his vision, Pastor Felix challenges the Body of Christ to shake off complacency and live as God intended – fruitful and effective. He strongly believes that it is a grave tragedy for a man to have lived without having made an impact before exiting this world. He has a passion for developing and empowering people to be the very best they can be!

DEDICATION

To my mother,

Odette Makanjuola,

an exemplary woman and kind of spiritual umbilical cord, a maternal link God used to bring me to life and life to many others.

You are patient when I’m foolish;

You give guidance even when I do not ask;

A peaceful, quiet shelter;

You are petite yet stronger than most

You are a dependable source of comfort;

You are my cushion when I fall.

You help me in times of trouble;

You support me whenever I call.

If I had my choice of mothers,

You would be my number one all the time!

ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS

FOREWORD

In this book Pastor Felix Makanjuola Jr. so intelligently highlights the dilemmas and challenges the 21st Century Woman faces to conform to the diverse and confusing messages and images beamed out by the media.

He shows that women, both single and married alike, are plagued by an identity crisis and a pressure to become who they are not.

Women today have very few real role models and very little clear examples to imitate as followers of Christ who want to live godly and fulfilling lives in today’s contemporary times.

Pastor Felix skilfully encourages women on:

1.   The necessity of being whole both before, during and (where applicable) after marriage.

2.   The Godly role model of women presented in the book of Esther.

3.   The things women need to understand about men to help build better, Godly relationships with them both outside of and within holy matrimony.
