PERSONAL TESTIMONY
I was born on 5th May 1977, in a family of nine children. I was
grew up in a Christian family but I didn’t know Jesus as my
personal Lord and Savior. On 9th April 2005, God called me according
to the Scriptures recorded in John 15:16. I now understand who God
is and the function of the Trinity. I also understand how the devil
and demons work in people and what they are up to as recorded in
John 10:10.
While I was walking in darkness, I sourced all my home needs through
my wicked ways to raise my family. My ability as a body builder
allowed me to take advantage of other people, for I would get drinks,
food and clothing without paying because people were afraid of me
and my disciples. My family had no peace, while drunk I
would beat my wife and chase her at night whilst naked, insulting
her, disturbing my children's sleep. Becoming physically viollent
and breaking household items. I also spent my money on womanizing
and drinking so that my family’s diet was poor.
When I heard the call of God it was a challenge for me. The moment
I accepted Christ I realized that it was not me doing these things
but inside me there was somebody who was directing my life to hell.
I am now a free person having received Jesus Christ as my personal
Lord and savior. My life has changed for the better both financially
and spiritually I am now living a comfortable life. My family is
happy now having a father who fears God and cares for the family.
IMPROVEMENTS IN MY LIFE
God called me with a purpose. According to his words in 1 Corinthians
12: 7 that the manifestation of the spirit is given to every man
to profit withal I found myself a preacher, the church I go to has
recognized my gift of preaching in the sense that they are using
me in the morning devotions to preach and teach the word of God
and also in midweek services and all nights of prayers.
God has called me to change lives of the people bringing hope to
broken hearts and showing the only way to God. Since I was called
to the Lord the neighborhood has been planted with trust in me so
much for the Lord I worship is real. I am being used as a counselor
to both parents and children and even being invited to preach in
their homes
I have managed to open a fellowship of prayers which commences from
Monday to Saturday from 6pm-7pm with a turn up of 40 people from
different denominations. Most of my’ then’ disciples
have followed me and are now worshiping Jesus as King of Kings and
Lord of Lords.

"Hello Jenny,
I would like to thank you in the name of our Lord Jesus Christ.
After being saved by the Almighty One as recorded at John 15:16."
You did not choose me but I chose you and
appointed you to go and bear fruit - fruit that will last. Then
the Father will give you what ever you ask in my name.
He has managed to go through you, God's people,
to uplift my life in such a way that the Gospel should be spread
to all people regardless of colour,race or creed by the sponsorship

May the Almighty One keep on blessing you individually and as a
church.
Expect good results from my school.
God Bless yours in Christ
