I am Tapiwa
Alphas a student of Evangel Bible College, aged thirty and a father
of two. Solders in Christ I long to tell you of what Christ did in
my life. I have every reason to jump sky high because of what Jesus
did in my life.
Before I found my way to the cross I used to eat karate, drink
karate, and sleep karate. I thought this was all in the world to
live for. In spite of spending many hours in karate Dojos, training
and indulging in Yoga techniques, I could not find rest, peace of
mind. Every hour the consciousness of sin haunted and oppressed
me. Day after day brought its register of sin. To will was indeed
present with me but how to do that which I willed I found not. I
kept sinking in to the mire and slough of despondency. I hated myself,
I hated sin and I wallowed in self-pity. I got so fretted in this
climate that temptations, trials, irritability, evil concupiscence
licentiousness hard thoughts and at times unkind words were more
difficult to control. I went to movies seeking solace for my soul
but the more I went there the more I become angry, the more I indulged
in self pity the more frustrated I became. Suicidal thoughts became
a worm in my thoughts I attempted it twice and it was on the second
attempt that I missed death by a whisker, life to me had become
meaningless and hopeless. I said to myself “I am a man I can
die, who can deliver me from this body of death?”
Thank God, for Jesus Christ my Lord, He saved me and I found a simple
faith in Jesus that delivering me from what is artificial and superficial.
.Blessed deliverance indeed! I found a pearl of treasure in Jesus,
a priceless treasure. The greatest and grandest of all themes is
Jesus. He is the source, the solace, the substantance, and sum total
of lasting joy. It is in Jesus that reality is found.
I am determined not to take my eye off Him for a moment. Earthly
riches and all their glory are but temporal and they can so up in
billows of smoke in a couple of minutes. Jesus is all I need. He
is the supply and the satisfaction for every yearning heart.
Please pray for me, it is five years now since my wife deserted
me, she left when our second child was only eight months leaving
both of them to my care. I sometimes feel lonely and desperate due
to circumstances beyond my control
If you can be of any help to my fees at E.B.C. Please help, we
are living in the most trying times in Zimbabwe. Life is hard as
prices of basic commodities are skyrocketing almost on a weekly
basis if not daily basis. It can be rightly said that prices are
born and raised in Zimbabwe!
“Who knows if we have not yet come to the kingdom for such
a time as this.”
