It was my first year at university, the session was barely two weeks old, when the most Awesome experience that I have had in my life happened. At this time I wasn’t born again, so I was busy been pretty in sin. Like it was the norm for me those days, on this said night at about 10pm, I just came back from a joint where I go to perpetuate some evil activities, which was addictively domestic to me. Just as I sat down alone outside my house reminiscing how the next day at campus was going to be, I heard audibly the most soul convicting voice. It was the voice of GOD .He said to me and I quote “WHY DO YOU WANT TO DESTROY YOUR LIFE”. There and then I felt dirty and my conscience almost exploded; for my whole life passed before me in a flash and I was judge, guilty as sin. Instantly in a reflex action I was on my knees, begging for mercy and His forgiveness. It looked as though I was speaking to the air, explaining how I was going to change. When I discovered that He wasn’t speaking to me anymore I crawled into my room to sleep. For it was like I have just seen a ghost, yes of course, the Holy Ghost. I promised my self church that Sunday, but didn’t go. Wittily I concluded in convincing myself that it was just my mind playing tricks on me. Cutting the long story short, I didn’t repent till the end of the next year, after I had come to a crossroad; I was falsely accused and almost shot, only for the intervention of GOD was I rescued. I cried with my whole heart back to God and repented knee bent in my room, accepting Jesus Christ as my Lord and personal savior. God forgave me and accepted me into His beloved. Friend, many a times we feel the storms of life have driven us to the rocks, but in actual sense they have driven us to the desired Heaven. This is how my life actually started and I became a living soul. Amen 4 Likes 1 Share |

Lets keep the testimonies flowing. We learn from it too. We ve been doing a lot of preaching, teaching and arguments. This is testimony time bros. Give us your own. God bless you. Amen. Image123: Very Sorry to crash-end this party, we are all enjoying it BTW. But with the way things are going, logicboy would soon share his testimony of how he also saw the light, and whatever nonsense again. My point is are we truly born again, saved by grace. What are we saved from? ARE WE SAVED FROM SIN? Because that is the first promise in the new covenant, that He will save us from sin. Are we still under the claws and jaws of sin and satan? If any man be in Christ, if any man be born again, he is under grace. He is not expected to still be operating under the law of sin and death, but under grace. |

Okay lemme spill my story today. Here is how it goes: I was born in Aj City, popularly known as Ajegunle when my parents were still a tenant at the traditional ruler (Baale) of olodi Apapa. Before age 7 (not too sure now), I was taken to my uncle that was living at Amuwo Odofin Area in order to put me through in education because my parent weren't that too educated - They thought my uncle will look after my education properly. So I started living with my uncle even before I started kindergarten (popularly known as "j'ile o simi" in Yoruba language). Went to primary school - Kuje Amuwo Primary school and later to Agboju Secondary School, Agboju Amuwo, Lagos State. In my secondary school day was when I became wild even though brilliant. I was introduced to many gangsters within the system and subsequently mingling with Area boys. Our gang grew so big to the degree that nothing is impossible for us. We had anything at our finger tip and we do whatever we desire at any given time. At a time, I wanted to date a female teacher and when she refused, I organized my gang and we dealt with her. It was later found out and I was suspended from school and to bring my parent or guardian at resumption. This was at the time I was about to take my WAEC. Knowing that my uncle is a pastor, I can't go to school with my uncle; I had to organize my 'Area father' to come stand in for me and disguise as my guardian. So when he came to the school authorities, they told him everything and he was acting - slapping me for real like a discipline..... I was involved in all kinds of satanic activities - charms, juju, consult herbalist etc and was very aggressive with females. Any girl wey no agree to date me then na bitting be her portion. Me and my gang go beat her reach her mama house.... . Well, make I no go beyond this point. Anyway, I was a rascal in female affairs - una dey feel me shey? . My rascal lifestyle grew to the point that I can stand anyone and look them in the face even my uncle and his wife - There was a time my uncle's wife messed with me and I felt she wasn't respectful. I chased her out with CUTLASS. . Most days of the week when my uncle is asleep, I sneak out with my gang at night to go shopping - you know what I mean right.....I'm talking out night business. If we don't get anything, we end up catch people's fowl, slaughter and make night pepper soul..... . Okay! I continued in that lifestyle until somewhere in between the K & S Church we were attending then was converted to a Pentecostal Church along Old Ojo Road, by Moshalashi Bus-stop, Amuwo, Lagos state. We used to have sectional night vigil - women, men, youth, prayer warrior etc. I decided to attend one of the youth night vigil one night when another youth pastor was invited. The ministration was so real and the power of God was present to convict every world of sin. I had never experienced anything as real as that night when a man's heart can melt in the face of world of sin. This is not an alter call issue ladies and gentlemen. Ladies and Gentlemen, permit me to say - being born again don't happen at alter calls, it happens inside of a man with the power of the Holy Spirit convicting the world and passion of sin in men. That's it! I was born from above and given a new life in Christ Jesus. Everyone around me knew it without being told. Hey, the best form of evangelism is what we do with our new life in Christ. No more living according to the old man. Became so active in ALL church activities, bible study and things of God. Later on, had water baptsim; baptism of the Holy Ghost and prayed in tongues. Shortly after that, was admitted to Federal Polytechnic, Offa and worshiped with the RCCG branch there, My Pastor then was H.C. Monyei and the Zonal Pastor, Oladoye. Well, the rest is story anyway. I was fed the word of God in all of these faces of Christian life until I began to do more personal study and began to spot error from the truth. It's being glorious moments walking with God and only the Grace can sustain us. Thank you. 7 Likes |
