In a powerful and deeply moving session at Love & Light Season 8, Mrs. Doreen Omosele delivered a life-changing message titled “From Pain to Purpose.”
Her raw, honest, and Spirit-filled testimony left the audience in awe—tears flowed, hearts touched and hope was birthed. This wasn’t just a message; it was a divine encounter wrapped in vulnerability, truth, and prophetic insight.
Mrs. Omosele shared her harrowing journey from childhood sexual abuse to becoming a Warrior Woman, which is also the title of her recent book.
Her message wasn’t just about survival; it was about transformation. It was about how God can take the deepest wounds and turn them into a platform for purpose.
In this post, we’ll unpack her powerful message, explore the biblical principles behind emotional healing, and provide practical steps to help you move from pain to purpose—no matter what you’ve been through.
The Weight of Pain: A Story of Survival and Shame
Mrs. Doreen Omosele began her talk with her touching story:
At just six years old, she was raped. Not once, but twice—first by one abuser, then by another after her family relocated, thinking they were escaping danger. The second abuser was the landlord’s son, who molested her for nearly seven years, from age 7 to 13.
“I was alive, but I was dead. I was not alive. I was lost.”
These words echo the silent cry of millions who suffer in silence. For Doreen, the trauma didn’t end with the abuse. The aftermath was just as devastating.
After escaping the physical abuser, she found herself craving the very thing that destroyed her. Her soul, conditioned by years of violation, began to crave the sexual stimulation she associated with survival. This led to:
- Masturbation with dangerous objects
- Pornography addiction
- Renting out porn CDs to classmates
- Engaging in promiscuous behavior
- Internalizing the lie: “I am a sex tool for men”
She believed this was her destiny—not because it was true, but because the enemy had branded her with shame.
“The devil doesn’t just want to hurt you. He wants to make you a vessel of pain. He wants to transfer that pain to others.”
This is the cycle of generational trauma—hurting people hurt others. Abused children often become abusers. Wounded spouses wound their partners. And the cycle continues… unless someone breaks it.
The Lie That Held Her Captive
One of the most dangerous aspects of trauma is the lies the enemy plants in your mind. Doreen shared how she heard a voice she thought was from God:
“You are a sex tool for guys.”
She believed it. She lived it. She even felt like she was fulfilling a divine mandate—because she didn’t know the Word, she didn’t have a relationship with God, and she had no spiritual foundation.
This is how the enemy operates: he disguises lies as divine revelation.
- He tells the abused, “You’re unlovable.”
- He tells the broken, “No one will ever want you.”
- He tells the failed, “You’re a mistake.”
And when you believe those lies, you start to act them out—just like Doreen did. She became what she believed: a sexual object.
But here’s the good news:
Jesus bore your pain. He carried your shame.
As she powerfully declared, quoting Isaiah 53:4 (TPT):
“Yet he was the one who carried our sicknesses. He was the one who endured the torment of our suffering.”
You don’t have to suffer anymore. Enough is enough.
Breaking the Cycle: 4 Biblical Steps to Move from Pain to Purpose
Mrs. Omosele didn’t just share her story—she gave a blueprint for healing. Drawing from Scripture, personal experience, and prophetic insight, she outlined four key steps to move from pain to purpose.
Step 1: Pack Your Pain and Go to God
“Stop running away from God. Take your pain and shame and go to Him.”
Many people avoid God when they’re hurting. They feel unworthy. They feel dirty. They think God is angry with them.
But the Bible says:
“The Lord is near to the brokenhearted and saves such as have a contrite spirit.” – Psalm 34:18
God isn’t repulsed by your pain. He’s drawn to it. He’s not distant—He’s closer than ever when you’re broken.
Mrs Doreen emphasized that Anna, the mother of Samuel, didn’t stay in her pain. She went to the temple, wept bitterly, and poured out her soul to God—even when the priest accused her of being drunk.
“If you like call me that I’m drunk. If you like say I’m a prostitute—that one is your business. What I want is what I want.”
Anna was done with pain. She wanted purpose.
So must you.
Action Step:
Find a quiet place. Write down your pain. Then pray:
“God, I bring You my shame, my trauma, my brokenness. I’m done carrying this. I hand it to You. Comfort me. Heal me. Show me my purpose.”
Step 2: Receive Comfort from God
“God is the Father of mercies and the God of all comfort.” – 2 Corinthians 1:3
He doesn’t just feel for you—He comforts you.
But here’s the catch: you have to receive it.
Mrs Doreen shared a powerful story of a woman whose fingers hurt every time she typed. Prayer didn’t help—until a man of God revealed she was holding onto unforgiveness toward someone who had sexually abused her.
The moment she forgave, the pain disappeared.
“Unforgiveness is a prison. It keeps your body sick and your spirit bound.”
God wants to comfort you, but you must:
- Forgive those who hurt you
- Speak life over yourself (“I am loved. I am worthy. I am chosen.”)
- Reject the enemy’s lies
When you receive God’s comfort, you stop defining yourself by your past.
Step 3: Become Intimate with the Holy Spirit
“Some people become intimate with their pain. You must become intimate with the Holy Spirit.”
This is a game-changer.
Many trauma survivors build ministries rooted in bitterness, not healing. They talk about their pain—but they’re still living in it.
Doreen warned:
“If I hadn’t been healed, I would’ve started a movement to kill abusers. I would’ve taught women that all men are scum.”
That’s not purpose. That’s pain in disguise.
True purpose comes when the Holy Spirit transforms your pain.
“Healing comes when you let the Holy Spirit sit where trauma once ruled.”
Spend time in prayer. Worship. Read the Word. Let the Spirit renew your mind.
When you’re filled with the Spirit, your pain becomes a platform, not a prison.
Step 4: Turn Pain into Purpose
“Who comforts us in all our tribulation, that we may be able to comfort them which are in any trouble…” – 2 Corinthians 1:4
This is the climax of the journey.
Your pain wasn’t wasted. It was preparation.
- Abuse? You can minister to survivors.
- Addiction? You can deliver the addicted.
- Infertility? You can comfort the barren.
- Betrayal? You can strengthen the broken.
Mrs Doreen now runs a ministry that reaches sex workers, women trapped in the same cycle she once lived. God gave her a vision:
“You will write a book. You will start a ministry. You will launch women into their purpose.”
That book is Warrior Woman, now available on Amazon.
Your pain qualifies you to comfort others—but only if you’ve first been comforted by God.
The Danger of Identity in Pain
One of the most profound warnings Doreen gave was this:
“Don’t build your identity on your pain.”
Too many people say:
- “I’m a survivor.” (True)
- “I was abused.” (Also true)
- But then they add: “That’s who I am.” — That’s the lie.
You are not your trauma. You are not your mistakes. You are not your past.
You are:
- Chosen (Ephesians 1:4)
- Redeemed (Galatians 3:13)
- A new creation (2 Corinthians 5:17)
- A warrior woman (Proverbs 31:25)
If you define yourself by your pain, you’ll never move forward. You’ll keep revisiting the wound instead of letting God heal it.
“Some of you will have to close down initiatives launched from trauma—not from the Spirit.”
Ministries born from bitterness won’t bring life. Only those born from the Spirit will.
The Power of Forgiveness
Mrs Doreen didn’t minimize the pain. But she emphasized forgiveness as the key to freedom.
She referenced Judas and Peter:
- Judas betrayed Jesus and died in shame.
- Peter denied Jesus three times—and was restored.
Why the difference?
- Judas was consumed by shame.
- Peter ran to God’s mercy.
“Could it be that God wants to use your life, but you think He’s done with you?”
No.
“I will never leave you. I will never forsake you.” – Hebrews 13:5
God isn’t repulsed by your past. He’s preparing your future.
From Sex Tool to Set-Apart Woman: A Love Story with God
One of the most touching parts of her testimony was her marriage.
After years of being used, she found a man who honored her body.
“My husband didn’t want to hold me when we were courting. His hands were shaking—he was afraid to sin.”
They waited 4 years, 9 months, and 20 days before marriage.
“God can give you a man who honors you. Or a woman who honors you. God can restore your intimacy.”
And yes—she married a virgin.
“If I can do it, you can do it. Don’t let the enemy lie to you.”
Your Pain Has a Purpose
Mrs. Doreen Omosele’s message wasn’t just for abuse survivors. It’s for anyone carrying pain:
- The single mom
- The failed entrepreneur
- The grieving widow
- The rejected believer
- The depressed student
Your pain is not the end. It’s the beginning of your purpose.
As she closed, she led the audience in prayer:
“God, enough is enough. I’m done with pain. I’m done with shame. I want to be with You. Comfort my heart. Take over my heart.”
Then she handed the microphone back—leaving behind a room full of changed lives.

Conclusion
Mrs. Doreen Omosele’s journey from abuse to authority, from shame to significance, from pain to purpose is proof that:
No wound is too deep for God’s healing.
You don’t have to stay in the past. You don’t have to be defined by your trauma. You don’t have to carry the weight alone.
Jesus already bore it.
Now, it’s time to rise.
Time to heal.
Time to fulfill your destiny.
As Doreen said:
“God is not done with you yet.”
And neither should you be.
