Story behind Nigerian lady's unique name
Responding to the buzz caused by her sister's name, Promise shared an Instagram comment of their older sister, where she gave a story behind their names.
According to the twins' older sister, @atoke_alasoofi, their mother had eight miscarriages, but held onto God's promise, believing that one day her testimony would swallow her travails.
She said their mother prayed to God, who reportedly promised to give her double for her trouble, and that was how she delivered twins.
Following the delivery of the twins, the new mum named one Promise because God kept his promise, and the other Proof because he proved his word. Their older sister's narration read:
"This is the story behind their names and till now it still gives me goosebumps.
"My mother went through more than eight miscarriages seasons of tears, silent prayers, and waiting when hope felt very far away. But in the middle of that pain, she held onto one thing: God’s promise. She believed that one day, her testimony would be louder than her trials and while praying God promised to give her double for her trouble.
"Then the miracle happened, she carried a pregnancy gave birth to twins. In that moment, she said, “God didn’t just speak, He showed me.”
"So she named them Promise because God promised and Proof because He proved His word.
"Some people laugh at the names, some doubt the story, but every time we call their names, we remember that faith can survive even in the hardest waiting seasons. And sometimes, your greatest testimony is simply living proof that God keeps His promises.
"I’m a proud big sister 😍😂."
