I thank God Who has given us the grace to receive good and perfect gifts from Him.
I write to testify to the Glory of God what He has done for me.
I started primary school at the age of five or six years, and since then I have been passing
through a problem that caused me mental torture and emotional trauma. When it started at
that early stage I didn't reckon it as a problem. The nature of the problem is still a
mystery to me, it all started this way: I will be behaving normal when I'm at home, but
immediately when I enter into the school premises I can’t talk again, I can't even communicate
or play with my mates. My mates insulted and teased me, as they liked. To be sincere, this
is more than inferiority complex. As a child then, I thought it was my lifestyle, but with
time I began to realize that I struggled with this abnormality and consequently it would
adversely affect my future. Negative thoughts filled my heart always, even to the extent
of harbouring suicide. The problem made me to hate myself and consequently I lost hope
in life.
I was lonely always, even when I am not alone. The gravity or the intensity of
the trauma and torture escalated by the day. Nobody knew what I was passing through.
People thought I was fulfilled but I was empty and paralyzed mental-wise. I lived with
this malady for a long time, precisely 18 years, that it became a part of me and adversely
affected all the arears of my life. I thought that I was finished in life. I lived an aimless
and foolish lifestyle. I became an object of mockery among my siblings and mates because I
was underdeveloped. Unfortunately, I didn't know I was under the bondage of wicked, evil
and negative power/spirit. It tormented me day and night by laying in my heart all kinds
of negative and hopeless thoughts. I was helpless and dejected.
On July 2006, as I was reading a book titled "The Power of Positive Thinking" authored
by an American Evangelist (Norman Vincent Peale), Our compassionate, merciful and Almighty
God visited me. On that fateful day as I was perusing through this Holy Spirit-inspired book,
I read through a testimony of another person whom God delivered of a problem similar to mine,
instantly I believed with faith that God who did this can also deliver me too for with Him all
things are possible. To the glory of God, God gave me instant deliverance, joy filled my heart,
all the burdens gone in a twinkle of an eye. I was freed. I can't explain how it happened.
Not only that God delivered me, He also granted me salvation, I received Jesus Christ as my Personal
Lord and Saviour. The following morning, it seemed to me as if I was in heaven (I experienced the
joy of salvation). Since that July till date I am living in the Spirit, and old things have
passed away. God had absolutely delivered and saved me. Jesus Christ is now the Lord of my life.
Also God has been restoring to me all I lost in the days of captivity especially wisdom, knowledge,
and understanding he has endowed on me. I give all the Glory and thanksgiving to Him for His
mercy endures forever. Also I thank God for His love, grace, mercy, protection, favours,
restorations, provisions, health, and wealth He has been perfecting in my life.
Please I want all the people who will read this testimony to join me thank the Lord for I
cannot than Him enough. Please brethren help me to syndicate this testimony.
Thanks and God bless
Glory be to the Father, and to the Son and to the Holy Spirit, Amen.
Shalom!
