The Interesting Experiences I Had When I Was A Boy by Interesting15: 8:03am On Aug 06, 2023
Many years ago, when I was a very young teenager just approaching the adolescence stage of life, I had some destiny-determinant experiences.

Now, I was born and grew up in a part of the country where immorality seems to be the norm. So, young boys can't wait to become adolescents and start doing the nasty things they see adults do - such as immoral sexual adventures, alcoholism, clubbing, and many more.

Yes, like several other young boys in the area, I was waiting to become an adolescent with a bit of freedom from my strict parents so I can also start exploring life. However, in my case, even as a young chap, I always feel the presence of God around me without having an explanation, and I know I have conversations with a Creature I don't know much about.

Then one day, even as a boy, I felt God talking to me, asking me to start walking with Him and be perfect. Now, I was worried, because despite being a boy, I know the meaning of what God was asking me to do. It means I won't 'enjoy' those things the adults around me were doing.

So, in my naivety, I started begging God to just give me one year to enjoy those sinful things too, after which I will start walking with Him perfectly(lol). But God didn't change His mind, but kept pestering me, as an expression of His great love. He asked me to start walking with Him in spirit and in truth as a youngster, and He made some promises to me..

Then, I decided to start a relationship with the LORD JESUS from a tender age. It was not a smooth ride, particularly considering the environment and other challenges. But God made grace available, being meticulous about me to ensure I grew up in Him.

Even as a young boy, I started preaching when the opportunity comes, particularly at church. Here is a picture of one of those moments of ministering as a child at church.

Upon entering the adolescent stage, things were easier for me. One of the benefits of starting with God at an early age is that I didn't experience the troubles and hurts that sin brings, unlike many of my peers.

The Lord was giving me more responsibilities at this stage. For instance, as a young teenager back then, I was leading the youth department at church (there were older people in the youth department), serving as a Sunday school teacher, an interpreter, an usher, was part of the evangelism team, a part-time chorister, etc.

Here is a picture of one of the youth meetings where I was ministering to the youths.

Becoming an adult and entering the University (I earned my bachelor's degree at the University of Ibadan), there were even more responsibilities. For instance, here is a picture of me ministering as the President of a prominent campus fellowship in the institution.

Finally, I want to encourage everyone to serve the Lord and have an intimate relationship with Him. He will make a beautiful story out of your life. If you are ready to forsake the sinful pleasures of sin and satan, Jesus will help you become all God has destined you to be.

Your destiny is to have an intimate righteous relationship with God that is eternal in nature through Jesus Christ, and you will be empowered with the Holy Spirit to have dominion over creation and sin, satan, death, poverty, depression, frustration, sickness, etc.

It starts by saying yes to Jesus. Say yes to Jesus today, and He won't ignore you. Simply ask Him to show you mercy, and He will come to you too. God bless you.

Religious belief is an invisible security blanket for insecure individuals.
Closeted minds will continue to allow brainwashing and indoctrination by religious leaders that there is a 'god', and there was a 'jesus', in order that the people with closed minds allow themselves to be controlled so that the various Corporations (churches) remain profitable as the tax-free money continues to roll in.

You are not talking out of experience.

You were taken to Church as a child, and continued till teen and much more.

You never had the opportunity to check mate others after which you would be able to fish out the best for you.

They say the prove of the pudding is in the eating.

Going to Church and taking part in its activities has nothing to do with God. Thus; "Go you for you do the work without doing the word"

Church and God are like two parallel line that can never meet.

The bottom line is, have a cordial relationship with God the creator, it doesn't count the group you follow.

His ways are not our ways. He doesn't see the manner we do.

It's a personal thing.

Something Interesting About My Blog (sundayakanni.com)

So, when I decided to start this blog some months ago as a platform to reach the world, I decided to monetize it to at least earn some money to keep the Blog running (renewing the domain and the likes).

However, the Lord prohibited me from that (probably to keep my heart from concentrating too much on money).

Hence, I created an avenue where anyone can instead make donations to keep the work going. So, if GOD is ministering to you, you can help contribute to keep the works going by making a donation.

Religion is a big scam in Nigeria.

Love your neighbor as you'd love yourself. That is the principle that is mutually good for everyone on earth. Everything else is just gibberish designed to put you under perpetual control and/or steal from your pocket using smooth talk about God/Allah
