‘Beauty In The Beast: How To Suffer Well’ Devotional now on YouVersion! • We are told to reject suffering and pain, but what do you do when you are confronted with suffering through sudden illness, loss, abandonment, heartbreak and more? This devotional draws you into the journey of suffering, healing and finding beauty in the beast of pain. We ultimately learn how to suffer 'well' through the counsel of Scripture and develop a renewed faith in the power of prayer. • As requested by YouVersion, I wrote a version of my Beauty In The Beast devotional for their platform. I was initially going to share my intimate testimony-devotional as a bible plan on YouVersion but the Holy Spirit clearly said ‘no’! (It’s important to ask and listen to Him). • The YouVersion ‘version’ of Beauty In The Beast is less centered on my personal experience/journey. It is more accessible and generic in teaching believers how to suffer ‘well’ no matter what that suffering looks like! • As I was reading, studying, meditating and writing I paused at many points in awe of the beauty, strength, authority and juiciness of God’s word. Journey with me through the healing that we find in God’s word. • Join the over half a million people who have completed my devotionals on YouVersion till date (I am still mind blown at the figures!). • For those who do not have the YouVersion App, don’t worry! Over the next 9 days, I will post each day of the devotional here on doctorkanayo.com, so look out for it and make sure you have subscribed to receiving email updates from me (doctorkanayo.com/subscribe)! • They triumphed over him by the blood of the Lamb and by the word of their testimony; they did not love their lives so much as to shrink from death. — Revelation 12:11 • #BeautyInTheBeast #HowToSufferWell #Devotional #bibleplan #Testimony #Godsgirl #SJSSurvivor #healing #youversion #suffering #loss #Heartbreak #scripture #Hope #Jesus

You are cordially invited to Kanayo’s EP Launch and Thanksgiving Worship Night! Join us to celebrate the exclusive launch of Kanayo’s EP ‘Journaling To A Melody’, through a live worship experience of prayer, testimonies, healing, fellowship and small chops! Get your tickets now via doctorkanayo.com/tickets (link in bio) – we cannot wait to worship with you. 🥰🎉☺️🙌🏾🙏🏾 • God has inspired me to release a sound of Thanksgiving onto him. I will do this by releasing my six-song EP, Journaling To A Melody and intertwine this launch with an overdue worship night! • I would absolutely love for you to honour this invitation and worship alongside me as I thank God for how far He has brought me. • As many of you know, I recently overcame a ‘1 in 3 mortality’ rate rare illness called Stevens-Johnson Syndrome. This syndrome had unknowingly been destroying me from the inside out, yet the Lord preserved my life. I was resuscitated and I live to tell of his goodness in the land of the living. (Read more about my SJS experience in my testimony devotional, Beauty In The Beast) • This worship night will be a time for you to also thank God for how far He has brought you. This worship night will be an event that will wake you up from your prayer slumber. This worship night will push you deeper into the arms of Jesus. This worship night is not about anyone else but God! • The event is not-for-profit and so we have made the EP Launch and Worship Night as accessible as possible in terms of ticket pricing; while covering the mountain of costs and maintaining excellence with an event of this kind. • Purchase your tickets via the link doctorkanayo.com/tickets • 📷: @aando_studios / @byayokunu #EPlaunch #Worshipnight #Thanksgiving #JTAM #FirstEvent #JournalingToAMelody #SJSSurvivor #SJSawareness #ChristianEvents #LondonEvents #GospelLondon #Testimony #prayer #fellowship #thanksgiving

World’s Number 1 🥇 Excellence is the norm 😊 UCL Alumni x2 (PGCE, MA) & UCL Current doctoral student 😂 They can’t get rid of me, I’m even on the walls and UCL’s PGCE Post-Comp website landing page/video ☺️ #TeachTheFuture #UCL #IOE #Teacher #Academic #PosterGirl #WeAreIOE #WeAreUCL #ProudToTeach

‘She looks fine though’ 👀🤷🏽‍♀️ Because I am ohh (my face is evolving from the horror) 😝😅 • On a serious note, you only have to search ‘Stevens-Johnson syndrome’ to know that what I experienced was horrific and traumatic. A syndrome that destroys a person from the inside out and has numerous related serious ailments such as sepsis and blindness. My #BeautyInTheBeast testimony devotional reveals the multiple misdiagnoses that I faced until the point of near-death. It’s safe to say that the enemy really wanted me gone! • It is only by His Grace, that a month later, I have skin on my body and face, I am able to talk, stand, walk, see, use my hands, swallow and more! Sisters like @mariana1991 who have been through and come out truly know. • I still have 4 more weeks of predicted recovery according to my doctors, but I honestly do not know how to ‘rest’ like normal people 😂😭 I am resting ‘Kanayo style’. • I feel stronger each day. Yes, I have some really tough days, but the good days outnumber them all. • I have total faith that as much the outward healing is gradually showing, the internal healing is an ‘invisible’ process that God will perfect, in Jesus Name. • “Therefore we do not lose heart. Though outwardly we are wasting away, yet inwardly we are being renewed day by day. For our light and momentary troubles are achieving for us an eternal glory that far outweighs them all. So we fix our eyes not on what is seen, but on what is unseen, since what is seen is temporary, but what is unseen is eternal.” — 2 Corinthians‬ ‭4:16-18‬ ‭NIV‬‬ • #GodsGirl #DoctoralCandidate #Academic #Beautiful #UCL #MadeAtUCL #ILiveALifeOfFavour #InRecovery #RestingKanayoStyle #SJSSurvivor #SJSWarrior #SJSAwareness #StevensJohnsonSyndrome #OneInAMillion #MiracleWorker #ButGod#MyWholeLifeProvesThatGodIsGood #Miracle #SignsandWonders #IAmASignAndWonder #Healed #Restoration #Hope #BeautyInTheBeast #Devotional

Last month I almost died. This month, I started my doctorate. I am a sign and a wonder. I am a walking miracle. I am evidence of His grace and mercy. My story is different because my life points to Jesus. • In my life excellence is normal, not exceptional. Despite being in recovery from SJS, I went for what God promised me years ago, without delay. Thankful that my university were compassionately supportive of my diagnosis and made the necessary adjustments to make this day possible. #Favour • “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.” — 2 Corinthians‬ ‭1:20‬ ‭NIV‬‬ • 📷: @lanxuan.wei (Emma, who also started her doctorate today! 💛) Join the conversation, read the #BeautyInTheBeast devotional which is exclusively as a PDF download on ‪doctorkanayo.com/shop‬ before its release on any other platform. • First comes the Fire and then the Gold.

My warrior mummy 💛🙏🏾 Strong and mighty woman. Selfless woman. Faithful woman. Together we walked through the valley of the shadow of death. Not many will understand the cost, but the Lord himself who sees all, delights in your sacrifice. I honour you Queen @mummyhilda 👑♥️ • I recently asked my mum how she felt about my diagnosis. As much as this experience happened to me, it also affected those around me. They had to ‘process’ too! My mum didn’t have to utter a word for me to understand that this was something that she was stunned by, yet she carried herself so confidently in the strength of God. • When she did finally garner the strength to share her feelings, with tears in her eyes she said ‘Satan wanted to gouge my eyes out by taking you’. I remember hearing her pray with such vigour in the early hours of the morning pleading and begging God for his mercy, just like my name ‘Kanayochukwu’. Indeed God heard her, God heard us, God heard our community and I am here. • Mama holding the lovely flowers that my school sent me 💛 • Join the conversation, read the #BeautyInTheBeast devotional where you not only journey with me, but you journey with scripture and learn how to suffer ‘well’. It is exclusively available to purchase as a PDF download on ‪doctorkanayo.com/shop‬ before its release on any other platform. First comes the Fire and then the Gold.

🎶”And I know that You are with me through it all. When I rise and even when I fall. Jesus, You have been there every step of the way. I know, You will keep me going on. • My brothers came to visit me in hospital and @joel_redefined sung the chorus of the hymn that I wrote earlier this year. It’s called ‘Hymn of Assurance: Keep Me’. • The songs we write today are for tomorrow. I wrote this hymn without the faintest clue about what I would experience, yet the lyrics of the entire hymn prophetically and perfectly capture my present. • I am reminded that every detail of my life has been woven together by God. There is no thread of my life that is pointless or a waste. My God is intentional and He is for me. I live by assurance and not by accident. • P.S. The Thanksgiving EP Launch is really on the way, keep your eyes peeled for a ‘save the date’ post! 😅🙌🏾🙏🏾💃🏾 • Join the conversation, read the #BeautyInTheBeast devotional which is exclusively available to purchase as a PDF download on ‪doctorkanayo.com/shop‬ before its release on any other platform. • First comes the Fire and then the Gold.

To be regarded as a woman of great faith is better than any accolade. • “The Testimony of your strong, persistent faith is spreading throughout the world.” — Romans‬ ‭1:8‬ ‭(TPT‬‬) • #BeautyInTheBeast is reaching the World and to my amazement, God indeed brought about something so beautiful out of horror! (If you’ve read the devotional and watched the accompanying videos then you know the level of horror I’m talking about!) • My prayer is that this testimony devotional and my life as a whole will stir up an UNUSUAL level of faith in a generation who often relies on the ‘seen’ and the ‘known’. I pray that you are encouraged to trust God in any and every situation. I pray that you will surrender the ‘UNKNOWN’ to Him. • “Now faith brings our hopes into reality and becomes the foundation needed to acquire the things we long for. It is all the evidence required to prove what is still unseen. This testimony of faith is what previous generations were commended for.” ‭‭Hebrews‬ ‭11:1-2‬ ‭(TPT‬‬) • Join the conversation, read the #BeautyInTheBeast devotional which is exclusively available to purchase as a PDF download on ‪doctorkanayo.com/shop‬ (link in bio) before its release on any other platform.
