MY TESTIMONY

My name is Justice Kiragu from Nairobi, Kenya. Truly I have every reason to glorify and thank God for his salvation that he has bestowed upon me freely through our lord jesus christ who came by the way of the water, blood and the holy spirit. If i can recall way back during my childhood, my life was so miserable, wretched and very hopeless in that my parents divorced barely an year after my birth. Its so unfortunate that even after their divorce none of them was willing to perfom their duties to raise us up, so immediately after, we were taken to the rural area where we were raised by our grandma. Actually to be precise at the time grandma was at her mid 80 years and concidering her age, life turned so hectic and very tough such that my elder brother had no choice but to run from home in search of a better life. On my end having a disadvantage of young age, i had no choice but to continue suffering as i wait for oneday maybe life would turn better. All this long my grandma would often encourage me daily concerning God. She even introduced me to a local church but no matter how i went to it, no hope was ever planted in my heart. Actually as time went by, i even started questioning about this God who has power but woudnt save me from the hardships that i was going through, whether he even exists. I even recall a time i felt so low that suicide turned to be the only choice but thanks to God my grandma intercepted me before i managed. 
So having that back fired, i planned a home escape in which it was successful and i went to nairobi insearch of my parents. It was during august holidays after school break, so i have saved enough for ticket and some for snacks. When i reached Nairobi it was during noon time, with no one and nowhere to go i sarted loitaring along the highway and on the way thats when i came across my father, he recognised me and took me to his residencial. There i found he had remarried and they were living together they were living a happy life as we suffered in the rurals for lack of his support. Later after holidays i agreed to head home in the rural area to complete my primary school education and after i completed, now i had to join high school so with no choice he agreed to take me and i started living with him. After i came back i found that he had also divorced with the other wife thats why he accepted me back but later i came to learn that it was all Gods plan all this time. 
It was now during this time when i met my best friend stephen, a true servant of God. Who gave me book one, HAVE YOU TRULY BEEN BORN AGAIN OF WATER AND SPIRIT? . This was around year 2012, for this whole year i never read the book not at once, all i did was only shaking dust from it. Remember all this time, we are engaging in so many activities together with him, so to him, he could only take this opportunities to tell me about this truth and by the year 2013 i had developed interest and been curious, i wanted to know more now about this gospel. Thanks to God it came a time that oneday the fellowship was now at his house and i attend and every sinces my true nature was indeed revealed to me and i now understood myself. After the fellowship, it was me looking for him seeking knowledge on how to obtain salvation. To him it was answered prayers whileas to me i had now found new hope and true meaning and purpose of this life that now i was reborn not in flesh but in spirit. 
I realised that human beings despite poccessing fleshly challenges, they are also born infected with the deadliest disease which is sins, it not only affects the flesh but also their soul. And with this dangerous and fatal disease one has no choice but head to hell. In me new hope was born through faith in jesus christ not through good deeds or any works. I realised that salvation isnt based on desires or favours that human think that if they worship God, do good or help the needy, God will have mercies upon them and they would live good life like just the one i used to desire during my childhood. I was able to dicern between the previous faith and found how wrong and lost i was and after i even got back and started preaching the gospel starting with my grandma who had misled me not willingly but by the lack of Knowledge about this truth. 
Eventually despite living such a miserable childhood life caused by my parents, i forgave them as i had realised how much debt our lord jesus christ had suffered to cleanse me away from all my lifetime sins. I was even able to understand them and also all other humans that nothing good can dwell from them apart from sins, doing good is ironical to them and thats the nature of a man. Thanks to God that through his faithful servants and gospel books, this hidden mystery, hidden for long ages, now was revealed to me such a wretched teenager who had lost worth of his life and now been made a new creature i truly and honestly understood my new mission which is to spread the gospel true of the water and spirit unto the whole world just like the sea waters. Its worth noting that the journey was so tough but by Gods grace, i was able to stand firm in faith before young, old and even the most educated to witness this truth to them as well. And the truth is that jesus christ is God who came in this same world in the flesh of a man, was born as a man, baptised by john the baptist, he bore all our sins through the laying on of hands by john the baptism who represents all human beings as the high priest, he later died on the cross to pay for the wages of all our sins and on the third day he rose from the dead having victory over death, so whoever believes in this truth in him there is no trace of sin and death has no power over them in that they have become Gods children and heirs of the heavenly kingdom which is everlasting. 
Now to me the gospel is life and hope that was long lost but now found and bestowed upon me. Forever i will live for the gospel truth in that it brought lost life back when i was indeed lifeless and rotten in sins was my soul, hell was the only destiny i had as hope. May all the glory and honour be to him, who is all alone wise, our lord jesus christ, the author and the only editor and the founder of our true faith, for giving us this new life freely, lest freely also we should serve him in truth by spreading the gospel upon the whole world to all races and nations, without discrimination and showing partiality, that whoever hears this truth might be saved through faith in him. Forever be glorly, praises and honour. AMEN!
