Hi. I just want to share my testimony with you how I came to know God, and when I found out that God is really the only one whom I could surely lean on.

When I was in Elementary, I was the best in class, I was a geek. Then I was able to pass and study in a presitigious Science High School in our place. At first, I have done well with my studies, but then I got bored, and then I started not doing my assignments, not studying for the exams, and just be free. This happened when I had had a cellular phone, and when I learned to chat online. I failed in most of my subjects, I was always called at the principal’s office, my Mom was always had to report to school. Then I felt so ashamed of myself, specially that I was bullied by my batchmates, then I thought nobody needs me, so I attempted suicide three times. But thankfully, I was able to graduate high school and entered college.

During my 1st year in College, I again have done my best, because the people think that since I came from a Science High School, then I am great. I have told myself that I will graduate with honors. I have taught my classmates, guided them, I also felt better now that I thought I was able to gain again confidence. At that time, I thought I was the best in our class, in our College. Then I observed one of my classmates, he’s not at all intelligent but he was diligent. I knew he was a part of an organization, so I told him that I want to be a part of it. I did not know that that organization was connected to a church, a born again church. I enjoyed the meetings every week, the worship, everything. Then I decided to join Encounter God Retriet, it was then that I found out how Jesus suffered on the cross for us, how God allowed His Son to suffer like that just for us to be saved. I felt so blessed. After the EGR, I started to attend trainings for me to become a leader. Then I decided to create a group. That time became the most difficult time in my life. Why? Because my spiritual daughters who were older than me became so dependent on me, not just spiritually, but also academically. My Spiritual Mom always get mad on me, because I have a spiritual sister who is not always attending our meetings, since I am the accountability partner, she said or blames me that I can’t attend to her. The classmate of mine who invited me to the Church always copies the answers to my quizzes, assignments, everything, and that happened during the whole year. I couldn’t say no because I kind of owed to him why I became a part of that Church. I had a lot of subjects in school, and my grades failed because I had to tutor that specific classmate of mine even though he cheats on my paper, like I was tasked to place my answer in a bond paper then pass it to him during exams, my time was wasted. I was not able to study for my exams because I had to make cell group agenda, I had to attend seminars, etc., specially that my spiritual mom wanted me to focus more on ministry than studies. I was not able to eat lunch for a year, because I needed to save for activities in the church, for our food during our cell group meetings. My classmates were also mad at me, because I was the class president and I was not able to do my obligation, and I was not able to set a good example. My parents got so mad at me. They are anti-born again Christians, so what I did was I always lie to them, but my sister has a spy who told her everything, who tells my Mom everything. I ALMOST WANTED TO GIVE UP, I DON’T KNOW WHO ELSE CAN HELP ME. BUT I DID NOT. BECAUSE I PUT THIS VERSE TO HEART: DEUTERONOMY 31:6: BE STRONG AND OF A GOOD COURAGE, FEAR NOT, NOR BE AFRAID OF THEM: FOR THE LORD YOUR GOD, HE IT IS THAT DOES GO WITH YOU; HE WILL NOT FAIL YOU, NOR FORSAKE YOU.” I held on that verse, I told myself to not be afraid, everything will be okay, that God will not leave me, that He did not gave me that challenge if He won’t be there to help me. And thankfully, I was able to pass that year, and graduated maybe not with honors, but with 3 awards, Oustanding Student award, Senior Class Organization Officer, Junior Class Organization officer and Supreme Student Government Officer Award.

God gave me more than I wanted. If it were not for Him, I could not be able to survive that most difficult year in my life. But I have to admit, it may be the most difficult, but it was also the most beautiful year because it was then when I came to know God, and how much He loves me. At the same time, I felt so blessed because I was tasked to share to my testimony with my Churchmates, it felt very rewarding.

Thanks for reading. I hope you were inspired by it. Can anyone else out there share their testimonies? Thanks!

Yeah gwen that was a great dilemma you took there. Here is my life. I was born into a family of seven and i was the last of all. Before and after my birth my parents has always being in christ but then me and my other siblings were not serious with the things concerning God,though i knew i had a great call in life. A friend of mine who was devoted to christ, he was always persuading me to go to church but i do refuse his opinions. In 2004 i came encounter with a prophet by name Daniel. He took me to his church and made me his drumalist. During this encounter with prophet dan, my parents already had their own prophetess and she was much more greater than prophet daniel. I began to learn spirituality through the help of prophet daniel. In 2006 the prophet relocated to another state and i stoped attending churches. In 2007 on sunday evening my immediate elder brother fell seriously ill and my parents were in the chapel(church). I became afraid and thought that he was going to die, i picked up his phone and called my parents, in 5 minutes time my parents and some group of prayer warriors arrived in our home. They carried my brother to the prophetess in the chapel. My brother was made well by the prophetess,from then hence forth my brother became devoted to God remaining me who refuse to change to their ways. I decided to attend their chapel one sunday and that sunday was the day i came fully encounter with christ. They added me and my brother to the group of levites. I saw christ working greatly there and i became devoted to Him. Since then till now i have achieved greatly in christ, i am a drumalist,a preacher, a levite and also a junior prophet under his master. Through all this the rest of my siblings came to know God and we are praising him all together. My dad was made a pastor in one of the branches in our country. I realised that i was born to be for christ and for christ alone. Thanks for reading gwen.

Nice one. Praise God your life, for using you and your family to be His instrument. May you always have the passion to serve Him and to know Him more, making Him the Lord of your life.
