Step 3
Prepare and your ingredients put them inside cooking pot and add sizable water and put it on fire, allow it to boiled properly because cutting your banana paste into small balls and drop inside the boiled water and fire should be adequate

I want to say that this is the most difficult stage in preparing banana poridge because cutting the paste into small balls until all the paste is empty usually take time and the heat of the fire is usually disturbing especially when using fire wood to cook.

Lastly , when you are done cutting the paste allow it to properly boiled before adding your Palm oil, your delicious banana poridge is ready

After I was done cooking, I had my bath and dressed up to attend evening program in the church because were having one week strech fasting and prayer that we usually summarize in church every evening.

This is me properly dressed with my headscarf heading to church .

Here in church the outcome of members was not encouraging has most people stay back with reasons based known to them. In church we had a session of praise and worship,koinonia, and some powerful declarations from the resident Minister.

I really had an awesome day at home and in God's presence.
