Being raise in christian family where christ was hardly mentioned and only shared at the dining table with quick prayer to get done with it was the only way i could realate to christianity as a child..talks about relationship with God at church were nothing but good talks in my mind,with not much understanding of his word, pride of being born in a christian famialy and being old christian and looking down on new christians were the life style i lived,anything offered in words were nothing to me but a prideful thought of i know better than you.
With very well to do family,i had everything i wanted,however the pains were terrible,seeing my mum in hospital or at bed through out my childhood,and dad away for business,and with not many mates,i fell into hands of predetors who messed my life in way i couldnt recover the pian and depressions it had caused..
long story short i had everything and yet felt i had nothing, somehow in the midst of the trials and my pains i felt something calling me,by this time i had stopped going to church i was about 16 then..
i would listen to all shorts of rock but oen day while i was returning home from school this song that once i sung with other kids at church kept coming in my mind..Jesus loves me this i know... it came over and over again.by this stage none of my family was going to church,we were very back slidden.
i still remember like it was yesterday i asked my dad something is happening he said just pay Jesus come in to my heart and you will be ok..
i said ok i did that gosh the room was intense,i felt something in my room,i knew it was real so told me dad i wanna go bak to church again,he laughed and said you dont need to its all good.
i insisted finally he came to church with me,at church it was more weirder i felt as if all of my brain was melting and was on my face,its hard to explain but i know what i felt..so i told my self that i am going to be a follower of Jesus...youth retreat was coming up,i told my dad i wanted to go,my dad laughed again and said you dont need relegion i told dad this is something i feel that i need.
he gave me X amount for the camp,that camp wrecked my life for jesus,i got filled in the holy spirit,i felt as if i was born again some thing about me was changed,i went to that camp as a sinner but came out of that camp bold as a child of God, all my sins were washed by the pure blood of christ..
that day i came bak to our place, whole family was there in my parents room,trying to make fun of me,i told them something happened,am speaking in different language am just different,they were still laughing at me,so as a child of God i yelled Jesus it was like revival broke out, holy ghost came down like a wind,fire my mum got instantly healed of her spinal nerves problem i have never seeen her go back to the hospital,my dad ran away and my brothers and adopted sisters were crying out for the mercies of God, repentence broke out i have never seen em cry like that,my dad called the minister,well he started to cry too lol...in few days 200 ppl came to our house,sick were healed, ppl were born again,and demons were cast out,it was powerful..
One thing God spoke to me audioblly was do not be afraid because i am with you..
i still stand by those words, and i beleive with much seen failures in my new walk with God,he gives me strength to face the strom.
Am still working on my testimony to look back on my life when i meet Jesus and lay down the crowns of victories that he has given me in this life and say your worth it all.! his promise still stands that he is with me,and i know this is not a perfect world and things just happens but Christ who gives us strength to sleep in the stroms and have his peace..
My parents are still preaching the gosple with fire,my family has never been teh same after the taste of his fire on that day..
finally God is beautiful,when we speak and spend time with him in the private when no man is watching,the strength comes out through the private place in the public place where its not just empty words but POWER! to live like what we have been called to live like KINGS!
God bless
