My testimony is that God has not done anything for me this year... This year has been very tough for me. A year filled with too much regret and disappointments

But I still put my trust and hope in him. He is my sky and my earth. And I believe in his son, Christ

for you to type this it's a pointer that he has so much more for you in stock if not the devil would have take over your life....

Anas09:
Let me share one out of so many in my life.

Someone years ago, I was involved in an accident which threatened to either take my life or amputate my leg.

I had to choose either to amputate my leg and live or die with my legs. I chose to stay alive with my legs complete. I was informed by my doctor that I wld die if the leg was not severed from my body because of the infection which set in.

And that if I managed to live, I wld never use the leg to walk again in my life. But, I told them that I will not only live but wld walk with the leg. Funny enough, I was less than a yr old believer in Christ then. I can't tell where that faith and confidence came from. I didn't even have a Bible.

All I knew about the Bible were Bible stories from 'My Book of Bible Stories'. But two stories became alive to me. I didn't know where they found in the Bible, but I knew they were there.

The story of the women with Issue of Blood and the leperous man who came and said to Jesus "Master, if you are willing, you can make me whole', and Jesus said 'I am willing'". I believed in that Jesus they believed in, and I knew what He did for them. He was willing to do for me too.
How old was I, a little above a teenager.

Well, I was discharged from the Hospital and I went home. Long story short, it took 10yrs before I could walk with the leg again. I went through 8 surgical operations fixing and removing mentals from inside my body. Both soft tissue surgeries and hard tissue surgeries.


Now, I changed doctors three times. The last hospital I went to, a metal was placed inside of me.

I did Skin grafting twice, Bone grafting twice also. One of the times that bone grafting was done, they forgot to remove a lump of gauze from inside of my body. The place they borrowed a bone from to patch my leg had 12 sutures on my pelvics region. Two days after the surgery it broke open and won't close no matter what we did.

They didn't know that they had left an external antibody inside of me. Hmmm. I was kept in the hospital for three montha after which I was discharged with the wound yet to heal. I was prepared on how to dress the wound and Keep it free from any infection.

Intervally, I went for checkups, they didn't understand why that wound wasn't healing. I carried that open wound for 1yr and some months. By this time I was on daily Antibiotics in short I was on drugs for the 10 yrs that these lasted to keep infection away. If you know any antibiotics, I have taken it.

One day, my Church then (Not winners Chapel) had a program. Rev. Una Ukpai came. I was still on crutches then, for I used Crutches for 10yrs too. In the program Anointing oil was blessed for us and it was tagged, 'Weapon of Mass destruction'. As my Faith is, I believed it. I told myself that anything that oil touches shall go down.

I got home that night and decided enough was enough with the wound on my waist. I decided to go off the Antibiotics and face it with that Anointing oil. That night, I cleaned the wound, packed it with that oil instead of the procaine I had always used.

I slept. The next morning i woke up my waist was on fire. I was feeling like a robe was tight around my waist and was being pulled on. When I checked the wound, it had swollen up like an abscess.

I saw some whitish robby particles on the surface of the wound. I used my forcep to pull it out, it won't come out, then I discovered there was somethig inside of me. I became scared. I wanted to call the doctor to let him know, but on another thought, if he knows he wld ask me to go in and I wld be admitted and taken to the theatre and make a big deal out of it. So, I summoned courage and pulled it out.

Gushhhhh, the kind of accumulated bad blood that gushed out was so much. It smelled so bad I was very light hearted. But, it came out. I wondered where all that blood was? Inside of me all these time? My God!!!!

I washed it clean and dried it. I first went to church and gave a testimony before going to the hospital to see the Doctor. They tried to make a fuss, I told them my God did it already.

Somefolk said 'Sue the hospital'. I laughed. God was merciful on me to keep that think inside of me for a year and months. I could have died of infection and no one wld ve known what killed me. Why not give Him glory and move on. So I did.

So brethren that was how anointing oil pushed out a foreign body that was inside of me for more than a year. Under one week, that wound healed till today.

Today, I am completely healed. I walk with the leg. I wear heels. I walk without a limp. You won't believe I wld ever walk if you knew me then. But God honoured my Faith in Him and healed me.

And forgiveness helped me too. I forgave the man who caused the accident. Everyone wanted me to use police against him. He didn't have any money, the car wasn't even his. So, I let him go.

Today, this accident to me is the best thing that has ever happened to me because I wld not have known Christ the way I do now. I now have the patience to study the word and meditate on it.

My faith is like a mountain now. I don't have one single fear for satan now because I now know him because I know Jesus and I know who I am.

My testimony is that Jesus is real to me now. He talks and I hear. Before anything happens to me, He shows me first. My life has direction now.
I know my assignment on earth and I'm pursuing it.
I for dey run around like every fine babe dey shoot blanks.

Our love strong, me and Jesus.

our lord is good

The lord has been doing a lot of miracles in my life and that of my families. this is the first time am sharing a testimony publicly. Though i have been appreciating him in my own way.
After youth service in 2016, i move to abuja to seek for greener, but to be honest it was not easy, nothing was green at all. So I resorted to doing menial job like loading and offloading of vehicles etc.
The problem was not the hardship and bankruptcy i was passing through then.
Rather it was continuous sickness ranging from, headache, tiredness, malaria and typhoid. reason why i look frail then. besides , the meagre income i get were all spent on drugs which i took without eating properly
After two year of that affliction, I met my Parish Priest who prayed for me and I felt instant healing that day.
from that day till today. Am free from all the sickness.
I am thankful to God and urge anyone whi is still passing through any travail to have faith and hope in God that he will come to his help soon.

Praise the Lord. To Him be all praises and glory and honour.

Yes He is indeed.

MY EXPERIENCE WITH DEPRESSION

It was in the year 2008,I couldn't believe it that I was yet to get admitted to the university after 5yrs.post secondary school. I left the secondary school in the year 2003 and having passed my Jamb and o'level,i kept picking unilorin all through the year and before I realised it I had already picked the school for solid 4yrs.
I choose to write on this article about "depression" because it's a topic most naija youth shy away from,I was an average student while in secondary and I was opportune to attend a Federal Government College so I got all the maximum exposure any unity school attendee's can relate with.Unity school's gives it student's "all round" exposure.
Three of my jamb were withheld courtesy of some student's fighting in the examination hall and things happening in other examination rooms with no fault of mine.It was a terrible experience for me and life seems to be "turningoninown"
Depression is so real, I experienced it and the taste is not good at all,like an average kid's born in the mid 80's,growing up was fun and I was quite intelligent and brilliant as well,the mid 80's kids has a blend of the old naija and the "massive transformation" of the early year 2000,we saw it all the military regime and the beginning of democracy in naija.
After two years of rounding up in the secondary school,I discovered that I was alone among my friends who is yet to be admitted, I began to loose my zeal,energy and vigour about the positivity of the future ahead.
Most of my friends felt my not getting admission was my own fault and i was physically abandon among peers,even most of the so called friend stopped talking to me because the assumption was that maybe i was an "unfortunate child" who is been paid back by the "gods" by not been admitted into the university of his choice when his secondary school colleagues are already doing there nysc.
I was a commercial student and because of the background been given to us at F.G.C going to the polytechnic was never an option,it must be a university.I would be so real with this my article and I am going to list out things I did and how I did win the battle against "depression"

(1)BUYING BOOK'S

Kids whose birthday fall's in the mid 80's would remember that learning a "trade" was not an option for us way back, why ? the assumption we were given way back was that your brain capacity is low for you to go learn any "trade" the in thing was getting into the university, study and graduate and settle for a white collar job.
After I discovered that I was always left alone at home to do the cooking, I was extremely bored,being an introvert I started saving up my cash to buy book's, I started visiting bookstore's and I became a "voracious" reader.
This was the beginning of discovering my "writing gift" every writer is a reader,and if you do not read others, nobody would ever read you" in life "the most amazing thing's could come from a terrible experience" it's not every fire in life that are meant to burn up a man,some were meant to purge a man and show him to his world.
This attitude of reading really changed me and it did make me to have about "103" personally written article all uploaded here on nairaland.If were to be I got admitted in time,i might not discover my "passion" "every negativity is always a blessing in disguise


(2)I BECAME MORE SPIRITUAL

It was my period of waiting for admission that I discovered " God " it wasn't that God was lost,but I was almost loosing my mind and I once attempt a suicide in the 5th year of the no admission experience.
I woke up in the year 2008 and went to pick up a kitchen knife and at the attempt of stabbing myself in a midnight,I heard a voice saying to my ear's "you are a fool for this attempt to kill yourself,why? you would loose the admission by dying and you would face divine judgement for taking the life that was not yours" the voice was clear,audible and fearful,I had goose pimples all over me as God speaks.
This day was the particular day I realised that our life is like a loan and we must return back to the "Creator" to give him the report of our sojourn here on earth.
I dropped the knife on the kitchen floor and went back to my room,for the atheist who argue against the "existence" of God, I am not going to argue with you,"God is alive" and so real.
The most pathetic thing was that my parent's were soundly asleep in there respective rooms and they would have just woke up the next morning and found me in the pool of my own blood, most naija parent's hardly know what is happening to there kids especially "teenager's",thou I was already in my early 20's in the year of the suicide attempt.
I can relate to any " mood swing" teenager's do experience as a result of there rapid growing up and the "battles of the mind" they do face.


(3) I SHUNNED ALL YOUTHFUL VICE'S

Thou I was a deep introvert as a secondary school student way back, I have issues with "self esteem" and I lack any faith in my own ability, parent's should watch the way they talk to there kids during there formative year's,my parent's prefer to abuse me verbally than flogging, I never knew this attitude kept destroying my "positive mechanism" which took about 15years for me to win.
Till date,I had never smoke a cigarette nor taking a bottle of alcohol before, why ? because of my introverted nature,I assumed that could it be because of many of my unconfessed sin's as a teenager in the years past was the reason God was denying me an "admission"
We can all relate because of our approach to religion in this part of Africa,the first thing we are made to believe is that "there is a sin in you and that is the reason you do have continuous failures in life" this assumption is wrong and may God deliver us and change the messages of the naija "men of God"
I have discovered something in life by studying the life of the "biblical job" he was a righteous man and the God who makes the heaven and the earth was showing him off to the devil
Listen friends, "not everybody who have bout's of negative circumstances in life are living in sin and not all who have present success are living holy" but time would surely heal all wound's someday and the truth of "life mysteries" shall be made known to all and sundry.
To be continued.............

The Supernatural Wonders Of God's Word In My Life.

After several years of many hurtful memories, admission delay of six years,need to deal with low self esteem for ten years,failed childhood dreams.
When you feel so unfortunate among other siblings because you kind of have multiple slowness as life progresses,unrealized expectations,failed relationship of three years,bouts of carry over's as an undergraduate,your assumed best friend and roommate dating your ex. girlfriend two weeks after breakup while he did settles the fights between us then.
I was hurting real bad and my entire World seems crashing. I had emotional pains in my heart and dark memories seems to torture my mind.I begin to search for the 'meaning of life'
I myself knew this is not the life I had ever envisaged as a child.I knew life is full of unprecedented challenges but when i did cast a deep reflection of my years on earth, I saw that I had never been free of major setback's within the space of sixty day's in thirty years.
When a die hard optimist tends to feel depressed for months and all you do is to wake up at night to shed silent tears,because you seems to have lost a decade compared to what your friend had achieved,i'm not making any comparison with my friends achievement but that interval of ten years seems outrageous.
When you are not even in any relationship less of picking a wedding date when the youngest of your peers way back is already having his second child.You are been called upon by your aunties and uncle's about you settling down.Sometimes I stopped picking up there calls because I knew it is all about getting married.I had given them several excuses that my take home pay only drop me off at my bus stop,there is no excess cash to spend after paying all bill's.
After I clocked thirty I did prayed to God that I do not want to continue to live my entire life in woes, pains, bad memories and emotional damages.I also searched all scriptures and discovered that many biblical world changers started at age thirty.
Joseph became the Egyptian Prime Minister, Jesus commenced his ministry at same age,David became a king also,Joshua too,age thirty seems to be the age of a man breaking out of all 'demonic oppressions' then I knew if I do not want to die young from relating to unsettled mind and pains of unrealized goals, ambitions and dreams, I need to do something fast.
I was a Christian in all these and I am yet to renounce Jesus Christ till date, but the fact I want to point out to my readers is just that 'you would never grow into spiritual maturity' until you learn to sit,read and meditate on God's word daily.But I was too tired of repetitive failures in life and I knew I was already stucked in the journey called life.
Two weeks after my passing out as a youth corp member,I did a massive transfer of about sixty audios of Bishop David Oyedepo's teachings of the 2014 Shiloh to my phone.I am emphasizing him because right as a late teen,he had been my most admired among all the Nigerian Men of God.Bishop Oyedepo had been my 'role model'
Despite my introverted nature,I love papa so much,I keep wondering how such a man preaches like one who has authority, he is so full of confidence and he has evidence of God's faithfulness all around him,let's forget the issue of him having four private jet's as people do talk about,"when we see a Legend who had stood the test of time" let's learn to appreciate them.
Moreover,no member of his church whom I know complains about that,though I am not his church member but I have all his books in my personal library and why would I complain about the many jet's he fly's when my dad's jet is not missing (lol)
What I had discovered about this Man of God is that he simplified the bible and made Christianity seems to me as a life of 'all winning edge's' I started winning in my Christian journey when I did start to practice all his teachings.
He taught me basic financial intelligence, discovery of purpose,time management,passion exploration and a Christian having an outstanding mindset in solving daily life challenges by you having a solid understanding of the 'transformative power of God's word' in you.
I have done all unpaid advert for papa,let me keep on with my discussion.After I started to listen to all his teachings on my phone,I was so diligent to come out of all yesteryears pains so while on my way to work,the earpiece is in my ears, at office break hour,
while washing, while taking a nap,while eating,even sometimes when I am about to sleep.
I shut my self down online,and aside having to attend to things which involves other people, the moment I am left alone,I repeat the audios again with my earpiece in hand.
Unconsciously after about one year of listening to those teachings, I did not noticed that my life had picked up,I discovered that God had revisited my dark past and all unpleasant memories, I begin to feel more energized and well relaxed and I sleep soundly,along that my midnight secret tears stopped,my mind got a supernatural transformation and my words did changed.
I knew there is definitely a light on the tunnel and that the future is going to be awesome and that the light at the tunnel of life is not an oncoming train hitting me.
Even my friends, neighbour's and family seems to comment about how radiant I seems to look like,friends there is a 'healing power' in God's word and it settles all life predicaments easily.Not until I took the word of God so serious, my life was stucked.
I did write this because it was a period I would ever remember. The year was between 2015-2016 when I did listened to those teachings of papa,the funny thing was that after the period of that one year,my phone got spoilt, as a result of it falling inside water while washing when the earpiece is plugged and all that.
As I conclude,it's not that I had stopped facing more challenges, but as of today as I write, I have the wisdom and strength to know what to do to come out of all my predicament compared to been swept everywhere like the ocean waves year in year out.
What I discovered in life is that there are only three things the devil stays cleared off,the wisdom of God's word,the devil has principalities and powers but he dare not contest with the 'wisdom of God' called Jesus,the mystery behind Jesus death and redemption and your sacrificial giving to promote anything associated with Jesus Christ at anyplace you found yourself.
Many people know what to do,the only problem is that they do not know how to do it?"direction in life is the mother of all destiny transformational change "this is why African youths need at least a 'mentor' in there lives.Good morning Naija.

@darevofpeace, I am happy for you. The word of God is really liberating.

Pls now that you have listen well to Papa's messages. Pls upgrade to Kenneth Hagin's messages. It will do you a world of good! You will learn how to really receive from God and greater things about God and Christianity. And also victory in life issues.
You may start with:
1. The Believer's Authority.
2. I Believe in Visions.
3. The Triumphant Church
4. Plans, Purpose and Pursuit.
5. The Art of Prayer.
6. Biblical Principles of Financial Prosperity
7. The Midas Touch
8. The Bible Faith Study Course.

Just lay your hands on any of the above. You will be glad you did. His books have helped me a lot. That is the next level after the teachings of Nigerian pastors.

Anas09:
Let me share one out of so many in my life.

Someone years ago, I was involved in an accident which threatened to either take my life or amputate my leg.

I had to choose either to amputate my leg and live or die with my legs. I chose to stay alive with my legs complete. I was informed by my doctor that I wld die if the leg was not severed from my body because of the infection which set in.

And that if I managed to live, I wld never use the leg to walk again in my life. But, I told them that I will not only live but wld walk with the leg. Funny enough, I was less than a yr old believer in Christ then. I can't tell where that faith and confidence came from. I didn't even have a Bible.

All I knew about the Bible were Bible stories from 'My Book of Bible Stories'. But two stories became alive to me. I didn't know where they found in the Bible, but I knew they were there.

The story of the women with Issue of Blood and the leperous man who came and said to Jesus "Master, if you are willing, you can make me whole', and Jesus said 'I am willing'". I believed in that Jesus they believed in, and I knew what He did for them. He was willing to do for me too.
How old was I, a little above a teenager.

Well, I was discharged from the Hospital and I went home. Long story short, it took 10yrs before I could walk with the leg again. I went through 8 surgical operations fixing and removing mentals from inside my body. Both soft tissue surgeries and hard tissue surgeries.


Now, I changed doctors three times. The last hospital I went to, a metal was placed inside of me.

I did Skin grafting twice, Bone grafting twice also. One of the times that bone grafting was done, they forgot to remove a lump of gauze from inside of my body. The place they borrowed a bone from to patch my leg had 12 sutures on my pelvics region. Two days after the surgery it broke open and won't close no matter what we did.

By this time I was on daily Antibiotics in short I was on drugs for the 10 yrs that these lasted to keep infection away. If you know any antibiotics, I have taken it.

One day, my Church then (Not winners Chapel) had a program. Rev. Una Ukpai came. I was still on crutches then, for I used Crutches for 10yrs too. In the program Anointing oil was blessed for us and it was tagged, 'Weapon of Mass destruction'. As my Faith is, I believed it. I told myself that anything that oil touches shall go down.

I got home that night and decided enough was enough with the wound on my waist. I decided to go off the Antibiotics and face it with that Anointing oil. That night, I cleaned the wound, packed it with that oil instead of the procaine I had always used.

I slept. The next morning i woke up my waist was on fire. I was feeling like a robe was tight around my waist and was being pulled on. When I checked the wound, it had swollen up like an abscess.

So, I summoned courage and pulled it out.

Gushhhhh, the kind of accumulated bad blood that gushed out was so much. It smelled so bad I was very light hearted. But, it came out. I wondered where all that blood was? Inside of me all these time? My God!!!!

I washed it clean and dried it. I first went to church and gave a testimony before going to the hospital to see the Doctor. They tried to make a fuss, I told them my God did it already.

Somefolk said 'Sue the hospital'. I laughed. God was merciful on me to keep that think inside of me for a year and months. I could have died of infection and no one wld ve known what killed me. Why not give Him glory and move on. So I did.

So brethren that was how anointing oil pushed out a foreign body that was inside of me for more than a year. Under one week, that wound healed till today.

Today, I am completely healed. I walk with the leg. I wear heels. I walk without a limp. You won't believe I wld ever walk if you knew me then. But God honoured my Faith in Him and healed me.

And forgiveness helped me too. I forgave the man who caused the accident. Everyone wanted me to use police against him. He didn't have any money, the car wasn't even his. So, I let him go.

I know my assignment on earth and I'm pursuing it.

Our love strong, me and Jesus.

I thank God Almighty for your life.
You do exploits.

But I still put my trust and hope in him. He is my sky and my earth. And I believe in his son, Christ

Hello...
I'm hopeful you're doing much better now

Anas09:

It is my experience. A convert i ministered the gospel to.

He was a herbalist who accepted Christ.

Herbalist is different from witchdoctors/sorcerers

Herbalist are people who treat with herbs.
The convert was more like a sorcerer .

Mariangeles:

Hello...
I'm hopeful you're doing much better now

NOT exactly... I made some decisions that didnt turn out the way it ought to but i have learnt to carry my cross and follow myself...

Glory be to God,i finally passed my GCE exam after a long time of tryers.I am very proud to be a child of God.Thanks be to Jesus our best friend.
