My Testimony
Here is my testimony. I was born in a christian family and since young age I have been attending church . From Sunday School, in Presbyterian Church of East Africa. I grew with knowledge of God, His commandment and His miracles and so on as most christian all over the World. Year 2008 is year that will remain memorable in all my life. This year I had so many thoughts of salvation. In 1997, being my final year in high school, I had believed in Jesus as my savior, but for only a few months. I though that it was too early to be saved for found it hectic life and decided that later in life I would give my life to Jesus. So in 2008 I had taken into drinking, but even when I was drunk a could remember that I needed salvation. And I knew it was past ten years since 1997 and time was running out on. I was being very cautious, but at same time postponing salvation, wondering how my friends, fellow drunkards would take me, I felt it would be a shame, hence postponing the decision on, and on. Little did I know that my life could end at any given time. It was until I had that terrible accident in August 2008. I was hit by a car, and I even did not know what had happened because I was drunk on that day. I met myself in Hospital both legs broken, left in the thigh and right in the knee with a plaster already and left with traction. So in hospital I realized that I could have died, but God saved me because the state I was in spoke volume. I had back and head injuries and could not even sit on my own. Here I realized that I could also have died and gone to Hell. I was sinner.
With this in mind I knew that, now, than ever before, salvation was eminent, but still wanted to go to church and repent when I got out of hospital. But one month still in hospital some people from a certain church came to the ward one evening, preached to us and asked for those who were willing to give their life to Jesus to raise their hands up. We were about 17 patients in the ward and about 12 hands were raised their and I joined those who wanted to get prayed for to receive salvation. I left the hospital after 72 days, and had an operation for plating the left thigh bone.
I stayed as believer from that time on, saying repentance prayer and fasting often. I had two other operation in 2009 and I fully recovered in 2010. In April 2010 I met a friend with a book by Paul C. Jong called Eat My Flesh And Drink My Blood. I asked to read the book and after reading the book ...... WOW!!!!!! amazing, I came to know the reason Why Jesus was baptized by John the baptist. Thus I passed all my sins to Jesus by faith and I became sinless , Hallelujah!!!.
I sincerely thank God for allowing me to meet with this wonderful Gospel of water and the Spirit (His righteousness) . I now witness, teach and preach this mighty gospel of our salvation, which remitted all my sins once and for all. I cannot thank God enough for the New life mission, Its a miracle that I have known this gospel of water and the Spirit, though many are not convinced, but I truly believe this true gospel of the water and the Spirit.
The friend who gave me the book :- Eat My Flesh and Drink My Blood, have not finished reading the book since. I just pity my friend who is a catholic. He had bought from a street vendor. He took me to the vender from where he had bought the book and I bought a number of books with passing time.
I will now serve the Lord until the last day, for He is too loving, He took all ours sins with His baptism and His death on the Cross, and His resurrection. He has truly saved me, perfectly for ever. . . . So as He said in (John 3:5) Am born again with water and Spirit. I have known the truth and it have set me free. Praise the Lord!!!!! Hallelujah!!!
