In 2012 my life course changed. I became sick to the extent of giving up life. As i felt my breath being taken away, no one beside me could change that course of death which seemed to approach me. I felt despaired and left all alone. I had given up all hope. I went for check ups but the Doctors told me there was nothing wrong with me. As I was in pain and couldn't get the answers to my problem I underwent a lot of stress that later resulted into chronic ulcers and low blood pressure. I suffered a great distress. People thought that I was fine, but I wasn't. When I told them my problem, no one was able to provide me the solution. One night I gave up all the hope I had in recovering, I was ready to die, I told God "Why not take me, I have suffered enough?" I was ready to let go.
As I were holding on to that breath, I asked two of my brothers to stay with me in case I was to die so that they can carry me. It felt like my time had come. As I hung on to my last breath, my brothers prayed for me. I spent like 15 minutes in that despair, my brothers continued praying. While in the midst of death minute, I hear a voice in my head telling me that I was born to live and not die. So I took the courage to repeat this words in my heart over and over, in about those 15 minutes I was back to a stable condition. From that moment on prayer and hunger for the Lord held onto me. When I was in my last minutes, the only person who was close to me in my suffering was Jesus, When I had given up hope He told me to be courageous for he had greater plans in my life. When I thought that no one really understood the pain I went through, He was there with me all the time. I guess that sometimes we have to be slapped in order to see where Christ really is. That day, was the day of my soul's great awakening.
The Lord Jesus healed and saved me just as He had promised in His word, but He had to show me that, on my own or on those surrounding me, there isn't any hope. He gave me the courage when I needed it most, He gave me hope when I had none, He was my friend all along the way throughout my suffering, it's just that I was too blind to see it. No matter how many friends you have, when the hour comes, there is only one friend who you can truly rely on and His name is Jesus Christ the son of God. So when you see me talking about the Christ Jesus whom I love, don't think that I am crazy, rather know that I know have a friend who can rely on even on my last hour. I use to fear death, but now I no longer do that, even if I were to die now, I have great pleasure and assurance in the one whom I have chosen to trust. Talking about Christ is very hard in the world we are living in, circumstance will hinder you from sharing Him, but once you truly know Him, you will not be able to stop talking about Him, even when it means death. I have tasted the Lord and see how good He is to me. I have faced death so I no longer fear about it. If i were to die today I have no regret in the choice I have made, that's how awesome and good the Lord has been to me. I had know Christ for many years before, I had been in Christian leadership, but all this can't be compared to how close Christ was in the year 2012. This is my testimony to why I believe in Christ and forever will.
I am happy to be a word of His true living testimony. Even when my eyes close that day, I know that in a happy place I will be. I am not proud of what I have done but what He has done for me. I pride not in my own deeds, but in His mercy and grace. Therefore since I am a living testimony, I have no reason to stop prophesying Christ the deliverer of the oppressed. This is what I am, and this is who I will be until my departure comes. So here are the simple words to my testimony in Christ Jesus the one I truly believe in. I didn't die that day because of the power that Christ has over me. I am happy that I was slapped to see the greatest need of God in my life. This are the simple words to my testimony in Christ Jesus. He has done so many other wonderful things in my life, but this is one of the greatest to be remembered.
