In September, one of my friends invited me to join him in search of a job, in Lagos.

When I arrived, he took me to a place where they sold Indian hemp and drank ‘Ogogoro.’

Since we didn’t have a place to sleep, we stayed with others in condemned vehicles. After some time, we joined them in smoking and drinking.

One day, I was walking along a street and saw a banner with the Bishop’s, picture on it. I decided to go in there and fellowship with them. That was the day my life changed!

During the Mid-Week Service, the Bishop made an altar call for persons to re-dedicate their lives to Christ. I answered the call that day.

God took me from sleeping in a condemned vehicle to a beautiful house.

Before, I could merely afford a meal; but now I eat three times a day.

When I came to Canaanland, the Bishop was ministering from Matthew 6:33. He said we should seek first the Kingdom of God and its righteousness and every other thing shall be added unto us.

I re-dedicated my life to God, stopped smoking, drinking and moving with wrong friends. Shortly after, I got a job which I didn’t apply for.

I am now working with the Lagos State Construction Company, with very good pay! Now, I am rich in the Lord! I give God all the glory!

John, O.
