I want to thank the Lord Almighty for giving me an excellent result in my final year at the university. I had a first-class GPA in both my first and second semesters. I am so grateful to God for that and I want to return the Honour and Glory to Him! OYINDEINYIFA
I was going to early morning prayer, and my prayer life went downhill. However, on my sixteenth birthday, at the beginning of grade 11, I was given a verse by my pastor which blessed me and gave me a vision and goal for my life. That verse is Colossians 1:10, which says, “…Walk in a manner of the Lord, fully pleasing to Him, bearing fruit in every good work and increasing in the knowledge of God.” Although it was given to me, I drew closer to my friends. This meant that more and more, I was living a sinful life with two personalities. With my parents, I was a good Christian girl, but with my friends, I was living in order to please them. Some of the things I did with my friends included drinking, coming home very late, and dishonouring my parents by always lying to them about where I was and what time I would come home. When I was close friends with these girls, I was never fully happy and content like I used to be. Satan also tried to get a hold of my life by tempting me to want to kill myself. I attempted to crash my car into a wall, but the Holy Spirit stopped me before I went through with it. I stopped

Since June 2006, after the end of a serious relationship, I have been on the journey of learning about, trusting and loving Jesus and having Him dwell in my heart. It was at that time that a Christian friend invited me to attend a church service. Her gift of a Bible made me start to consider turning my monotheist faith into one centred around Jesus Christ as my personal saviour, comforter, protector, counsellor, teacher and Lord. However, it wasn’t until a crisis in my life that led me to fully surrender to God. I had just left a teaching position after believing that I was not capable of continuing. I put myself under a lot of pressure before and during it, so much so that I burned out. After a night of fits of despair in September of 2008 I fully accepted Jesus as God, my Saviour and Heavenly Father with the support of my Christian roommate at the time. I’ve been cleansed of things in the past that I used to engage in or accept, things I now find unfavourable. Thus, God’s grace, love and mercy, in my experience, are sufficient to eliminate and cure addictions and illnesses. I trust that He is the best doctor and that with the help of the Holy Spirit, I can become more

My family were not Christians, they were Unitarians. When I became a Christian, it upset them. I remember my sister asking me whether this meant I thought she was going to go to hell. I wanted to tell her that I was hoping it meant that she would consider becoming a Christian herself. I was scared to tell my parents at first, because even though I knew that they had always told me that decisions about what I believed would be my own to make, I also knew that they did not consider becoming a born-again Christian to be a wise choice. I know that I hurt their feelings by not telling them quickly what had happened to me. That showed them that I didn’t really trust them to stand by their word. In recent years (this all happened more than 50 years ago), I’ve learned that my becoming a Christian upset them even more than I realized at the time. My “new self” didn’t look all that different from my “old self”. There were not a whole lot of bad things that I’d been doing, and that I suddenly stopped doing. I’d been a fairly nice person who tried to do the right things. Asking Jesus into my life as my Lord and King and Savior is the most

At the beginning of the year 2023, I prayed to God to surprise me with academic success in the year 2023. I was in SS3 and I was preparing to write my first jamb. I was so scared and then I decided to pray to God that He should make me to excel in my jamb. I asked him for a specific mark which was 308. Then I wrote the jamb and when the result came out instead of the 308 that I asked for, the Lord blessed me with a mark of 310. When I also wrote my WAEC, he also surprised me in the same manner in my WAEC. And to crown all his blessings in my life in the year 2023, he provided me with admission into the university of my choice and to study the course of my choice. I really thank him for his grace in my life in the year 2023. Michael
I was a raging alcoholic for 20 years. I did things that I would not normally do. THREE marriages end in divorce because of my addiction to alcohol. I got hit by a car crossing the road drunk and almost died. That did not stop me from drinking. I worked as a Stripper and escort because I liked to drink and play the fool. I was out of control. But GOD almighty delivered me from my addiction, and I NO LONGER DESIRE ALCOHOL I would like to share my testimony. And let other addicts know that there is HELP. Natasha
