Welcome to my Blog Family.
I am a new believer in Christ. I started walking with the Lord for approximately one Year now. In this past one Year God has taught me so many things.
It has been a journey with so many lessons learnt.
I have had seasons where I rebelled, wanted to live my life and have fun like everyone else and in those seasons, God used them also to build me (which I will come back to later). I have also had seasons where I doubted the whole spiritual Journey, thinking maybe it was all an Imagination and Illusions, I had seasons where I would pray and cry endlessly, when I had so many questions but couldn´t get immediate answers and I felt so confused about everything. Sometimes I would even get angry at God and had the feelings that He was messing with my Head and I will cry myself to sleep.
But looking back right now, I realised God was using those different stages of my journey to build me and train me to only trust and depend on Him. Because what kept me strong during those seasons I was shaken, was because, at the beginning of my journey, when I first believed and gave my life fully to Christ, I had so many supernatural encounters the first few Months, that I couldn´t explain away by anything else but God.
God showed me so many signs, a lot of Miracles happening back-to-back, so many Dreams that happened exactly the way I dreamt them. And I even heard the Holy Spirit spoke to me on several occasions. So, during the time I was shaken and through all the emotional periods of my “Spiritual Awakening” I was always reminded by the Holy Spirit of all the supernatural encounters I had and the Love I felt immediately after giving my Life to Christ that I never felt before.
So, I started this Blog believing that there may be someone out there who may be going through same things that I went through. and seeking for answers. Maybe my experience will help to empower them and give them some answers they may be seeking for.
At the beginning of my journey, I was googling a lot, seeking for answers but couldn´t find most of the answers I needed. Some of the things on Google even added to me being even more confused and most people around me are not spiritually awakened.
So Family, that´s the reason why I decided to share my experience here. Who knows, maybe this might help someone.
Now, talking about the Day I gave my Life to Christ. It was a supernatural encounter. I was deep asleep in the middle of the Night around 2am, a message started playing on my Phone and it seemed like someone even increased the volume of my Phone to the highest so I could hear the Message loud and clear while I was deep asleep. I woke up immediately, confused on where the message was coming from. I heard the Man talking about how I had rebelled against God, how I had doubted his existence and all the thing Jesus did for me. Everything he said pointed directly at me. I felt the presence of Jesus in my Room. The presence was so strong, I felt so convicted, tears rolling down my cheeks and immediately the Man asked if I wanted to give my life to Jesus and asked to join him in “Sinners Prayer” I gave my life immediately and shed tears for days. I couldn´t believe what just happened. This happened at the lowest moment of my life when I was going through so many relationship issues, pains and disappointments.
After the encounter I felt loved like never before. It felt like I was blind before and veils were taken off my eyes. I started seeing life from a different perspective.
The message that came up on my Phone that night was from Evangelist Charles Spurgeon. I never heard of that Name before, how did he get to my Phone? I had to google him. Charles Spurgeon was one of the greatest Evangelist of his time, but the Man died in 1892. That´s over 130 years ago. A man that has been dead for over 130 years was the person that converted me?
Now talking about conversion and giving my life to Christ. I have always been a Christian, born and baptised in Catholic Church and I have always believed in God, I have always prayed to God when I am in need. Infact, I have read the Bible from Genesis to Revelation when I was a teenager and I have been to many churches and visited so many pastors with my mom when I was in Africa. I loved God when I was little. I used to pray and God will always answer my prayers. Sometimes, I don´t even pray, I will just wish for somethings and they will happen. So, I knew I have always been favoured by God, I knew all my life that God has loved, protected and given me most of the things I wished for, and I have always believed that I knew God. I thought I was a good Christian though, I stopped going to church long time ago (even till now) because of past negative experiences I had with churches and pastors (Which I will come back to later) I knew God loved me and I knew he had brought me very far in life to where I am today. So, I thought I was cool with God.
I never knew that these things are different from giving your life to Christ, having deep personal relationship with Him, hearing him talk to you, being filled with the Holy Spirit and most especially, getting that veil removed from your eyes. Having spiritual sight and ears, being able to see clear the lies of the devil and how humanity has been misled, seeing things from God´s perspective. All these things begin to happen when you have true encounter with the true Jesus Christ.
