I had been living in West Germany before the reunification, in Munich for 12 years, where the Lord Jesus came into my life. Former AIDS patient, I was not a Christian. I was healed extraordinarily, a personal spiritual experience, very miraculous on Sunday, August 19th, 1989, in Munich, after praying alone in my room. All medical tests for searching for AIDS, made some months later, were negative. Actually, after 28 years, I’m in very good health.
I lived fast; I was a very worldly person. Every weekend I went to nightclubs and pubs. I smoked, I drank alcohol, music sex, etc I got many pornography videotapes and books. So, jogging along, I meet a drug addict German girl named Eva who infected me with the AIDS virus. She hid her real drug addict identity. Then, a sort of descent into hell. I left Africa for Europe to study and work, but in the end, I was caught by the AIDS virus. I was a worthless and miserable person. In my distress, I was planning to commit suicide.
The Bible says: “And call upon me in the day of trouble: I will deliver you and you will glorify me.“ Psalm 50:15. I have never heard nor read that Verse before. Although my sinful life didn’t glorify God, in my distress I cried out to God, I called upon Him in the night on Sunday, August 19th, 1989, at about 22h. And the Lord in His great Love, Goodness and Mercy showed me compassion, and I thought to read the Bible for the first time, asking God to heal me. So, I reached by chance Psalm 19 without really understanding spiritually the true meaning of what I was reading. But when I got to the 13th verse: “Who knows his errors? Forgive me those that I don’t know“.
Suddenly, God opened up my spirit and my mind, and I understood that this verse was speaking exactly about my sinful life. The second part of that verse spoke about Divine forgiveness, and I understood and realised clearly that God could also forgive my sinful life. So, immediately, I was completely upset within myself. Through that verse, I got the Divine feeling that God Himself came down near me and spoke to me. Alleluia!
But to be physically satisfied to that point, a few weeks later, I came back to see the same doctor who had detected the AIDS virus before. When I entered the doctor’s office, he was surprised to see me this time in a good mood and with a Bible in my hand. He asked me some questions and I told him briefly my story, saying that JESUS had healed me. He thought I had gone crazy. He was indeed incredulous. But in the end, by God’s Grace, the AIDS test result was and still stays negative 28 years since. A few years later, I got married. My wife, my five (5) children and I are in very good health.
