One of the problems I had back then was that I didn\u2019t listen to myself. I would hear the voice of the Lord, and I would see it in my dreams, but I would still want to follow my flesh.<\/p>\n<p>But ever since I started following the lead of the Holy Spirit, things have drastically changed for me and I\u2019m extremely happy about it. I\u2019m actually dada \u2013 those people that naturally have dreadlocks from birth. Since birth, I have been spiritual. My parents told me that I was stillborn so they had to throw me away. Then there was a clergyman from Ibadan who came to the hospital and asked about me and I was brought back to life. I was told that I never cried or did anything until the day of my naming ceremony.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The actress who is happily married to her colleague, Kola Ajeyemi continued: \u201cIt was the moment they named me Oluwatoyin that I started crying as a baby. Again, when they wanted to shave off my locks they had to tell me it was the Holy Spirit because I didn\u2019t want them to do it. I decided to have a small circle because there was too much noise in my head. There is always noise around me, both positive and negative. I am not a careful person. My heart is so free. I am someone you can trust with anything. You can do whatever you want to do in my presence.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p>));\/**\/<\/script><\/script><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Nollywood actress and producer, Toyin Abraham in a new interview has unraveled her spirituality and how she hears voices from the unction of the Holy Spirit.
