THIS IS MY STORY IN SHORT
Having been born from a non Christian family, at the age of 9 i had a deep desire to know God personally. I lived in a place where people absolutely had no idea about the Lord Jesus Christ. I started reading the bible at that time and I remember very well falling in love with the story of Jesus Christ. I repeatedly read about the crucifixion and it made me very emotional and somehow i loved the feeling. Well at the age of 11 when i was in my sixth grade, came some missionaries from the United States of America who preached and shared the story of Jesus Christ from His birth to His death. I cried that evening. As young as i was, I believed the gospel and i made a decision to follow Jesus “ A DECISION THAT CHANGED MY LIFE” . I started attending church (the one established by the missionaries) and things made much sense for me. A God who changes lives was introduced to me. I was taught faith, i was taught to solely depend on Him.To cut the story short, back in 2017 i backslid, i became an alcoholic for a short season “ a story many don’t know about, even the closest people “ . During that season i would have several dreams preaching the gospel, holding crusades, casting out demons and healing the sick.This meant nothing until one normal evening. Came home after my daily routine. I laid myself to sleep and that night I encountered God. God visited me after showing me the person i was gonna eventually become but I wouldn’t listen or pay attention. It was in a dream where i was wandering about in shallow waters looking for something i had lost. I turned my head when i heard a voice behind me. I saw a little boy of about 12 years old standing close to a rock and behold the rock was speaking to the lad.I heard a voice coming from the rock and in the dream I perceived the Almighty was speaking. Whoever was speaking behind the rock whom my Spirit in the dream perceived to be God said to the boy; go tell the young man that what he is looking for is lost because He has neglected my will. Tell Him from today His name shall be…….. (then He said the name) and he shall be a channel of Healing. I stood in awe looking at the boy who was being instructed to tell me, he just looked at me, signaling me in a kind of saying” you have heard it and immediately he disappeared from the scene and the dream ended. I woke up that night trembling with fear. I didn’t know what to do. Came weekend i went as usual to get me few beers . I just had one and something didn’t feel or taste right and i left the club. I got sick the entire weekend and i didn’t know what it was. In the week one day after work i went to my then favourite restaurant ordered some pork ribs and a glass of wine. As soon as i got home i got sick again, severe headache and nausea and that was strange because of all things one glass of red wine would never at any point give me a hangover or whatever it is called.
Well to cut the story short again. I started to seek the Lord, I realised something had happened and God was calling me to serve Him. In the year 2019 I visited my place of birth (village) and i saw my people we had some fun and i came back to work and that was February 2019. I had a huge burden to seek God and i wanted to know more about the Holy Spirit . I started to pray, shut myself inside the house and all i wanted was to know God in a deeper way so i was looking for an encounter with Him. I started researching, reading and listening to teachings about the Holy Spirit, i had an extremely deeper urge to know Him personally. Fast forward six months later in July i started fasting . Never knew how many days i was going to fast but i told myself i wouldn’t stop until God show up! After exactly 21 days of fasting and praying, i was exhausted and I couldn’t carry on and had to stop. Somehow i was disappointed, nothing happened, remember this was a strategic fasting i wanted an encounter with God.
I couldn’t go out those days i was tired. Day 3 after quitting the fast i was laying down on my bed worshipping God as disappointed as i was i just found myself doing it. I lifted up my hands in worship expecting nothing but to just worship God . About an hr or more of worshipping with my hands lifted up. I felt a cloud of fire coming over me( I didn’t see it but could feel it) it came closer and closer to me and it was hovering up and down from my feet to my head. The fire intensified and when I couldn’t bear it anymore i jumped out of the bed and stood up. The fire was still on me and now it felt like hot water was being poured on my heard. I remember picking up my phone to call my then pastor to speak to him because it felt like my world had come to an end. He advised me to calm down and he asked what i have been doing recently and i told him i had been fasting , praying and seeking the Lord. He just said i dont think it’s something to hurt you, continue what you have been doing and he hung up. I went back on the bed and the cloud had lifted but my body itself was now emitting heat especially my forehead, hands and feet ( which I learned later that He had anointed me.)
Then that night the Holy Spirit reminded me of what i had been seeking and that He had come. The following day i had a very deep desire to pray for people especially those who were sick and for a truth there is no sick person i prayed for in that season whom God didn’t heal. I would look for sick people, i was immature I didn’t know what to do and the thing burned too much on me. This is my story on Seeking God. The bible says draw near and i will draw near to you- James 4:8. My brother, my sister, my elder, it is never too late to seek the Lord. Behold Jesus is coming back again. What shall you say to Him. Will you go with Him or you will perish. Jesus said in His word that those who hear and follow His commandments He will reveal Himself to them. God is calling you and He wants you to know Him personally, how long shall you chase the wind! Make that decision today, it is never too late! God is real, Jesus is the King and He is alive, behold He shall come again to Judge the living and the dead.
God bless you and may He lead and guide you
