‼️ Burden Lifted And Chains Broken‼️
I was trapped in a life of binge drinking and chain smoking. I used to be a devout Christian but I left my faith in 2017 and drowned myself into a bottomless pit of seeking satisfaction from alcohol.
As was our custom, I planned to go out to drink in Mulanje with my friends. I am professional barber at one of executive barbershops in Blantyre so I usually have contacts of some of my clients. I wanted to call one of my friends on that Sunday so that they should pick me up to our destination but I accidentally dialled one of my clients, a member of Fountain of Victory Church. Having realised I dialled the wrong number, I proceeded to tell them to pick me to their Church. God Had me in mind that day. That was the day He lifted off me all the chains of alcohol and smoking that weighed me down for 7 years.
However, my newfound faith was soon put to test when I lost my job as a barber where I worked. I quickly asked to meet Apostle Joseph Ziba who encouraged and told me that I will get my job back. I held on to that promise and true to the words of the prophet of God, I was called back to work.
The first day at work was frustrating. I watched my friends get client after client from 8am till around 8pm in the evening without a single client for myself. Around 8pm, Apostle Joseph Ziba walked in and asked for a haircut. From the moment I shaved him, customers flooded in, requesting me specifically and I worked non-stop until around 11pm.
God has been nothing but good to me. I have no desire to go back to my old life and I am grateful for the newly found faith and grace of the house, Fountain of Victory.
