It's been a while....

...but I will try to keep up this blog. To continue with my testimony-my christian friends took me down to the little chapel beneath africa Hall in KNUST.(Africa is one of the female halls in Kwame Nkrumah University of Science and Technology-I was resident there). They were members of a group called Abundant Life. The chapel was dusty and empty with chairs stacked in a corner. They set a chair in the middle for me to sit on and asked me if I wanted the baptism of the Holy spirit. I said yes..I'd read all the scriptures. They began to pray. Nothing happened. After a while,another friend A came down bc she saw a vision of a new-born baby being baptised and God told her to come down to the chapel to join the group. It was me! Once again they all joined hands around me to pray and then started praying in tongues!! Now this was new to me and I started feeling really embarassed, wondering if they were in their right minds. One of them said 'go ahead, join us' but I didnt know what to do. I opened my mouth to say 'Aaah' 'cos that's all I could think of. Suddenly I was lifted up by invisible hands. I hovered over the chair a couple of minutes before the power Hit and I fell and rolled rapidly across the floor in 2 different directions. Nothing had prepared me for this. It was totally out of my control. The one thing I knew, beyond the shadow of a doubt, I had come face to face with God Almighty. I tried to stand and opened my mouth to praise him and acknowledge him- to say 'God this is you and there is no other' instead there was a fire in my belly and out of this fire a strange language arose and I began to speak my praise language to my heavenly father!!!You can imagine the cheers all around me. It was an encounter of the God kind. When we finally left that chapel, I was aglow with his love and light. For weeks I walked on 'cloud 9'. The euphoria was indescribable. Colours had become heightened. The sky was sooo blue, the trees sooo green..the breath of God was on me. I told everyone who would listen about this Jesus who is Love.Friends got saved because they wanted what I had. God had only just began with me...there were more incredible things to come!

My Christian Journey began.....



Entrance KNUST Kumasi.

...In the early 80s. I was 22yrs old or thereabouts. A graphic design student in kNUST(kwame Nkrumah university of science and Technology,Kumasi). Life became so dreary and dry that I began to ask the big 3 questions. Where did I come from? What am I doing here? Where am I going? Friend, if you don't know the answer to these 3 questions, you're wasting time. So desperate was I to find answers I stopped all activities including lectures. People got a little concerned about my withdrawal from LIFE, but what was the point in continuing when I didn't even know what i was doing here on earth? I was in crisis mode, calling out "God, if there's a God please show me!" God answered me one night as I lay on my bed wrestling with the questions. As I read Revelations 1:8 &22:13in the Bible, the words literally jumped out at me. "I am alpha& Omega, the first & the last, the beginning & the end. My heart thumped loudly as truth began to dawn on me. I said YES YES YES, I want to know the truth.
I had found the answer, the TRUE source of LIFE itself. I fell into an uneasy sleep. In the middle of the night I was woken up with a tangible presence of Jesus, the awareness that I had passed through a door, the overwhelming knowledge that Jesus was real and that he was the son of GOD and somehow or other I now belonged to God in a very real way. The next day I was like a new person with my newfound knowledge, (complete with change of attitude)I shared with a friend ( I will call A )who had been telling me about Jesus. He was very excited and told me to read Acts 1:4-8 about being baptised in the holy spirit. I read it, and when I saw him a few days later I said "If it's from God I want it!" Little did I know the very dramtic events about to take place in my life as a result of this simple but sincere statement!

The mystery of the broken body of Jesus.....



Like I said, I was taking communion yesterday bc the Holy spirit had impressed upon me to do this regularly. As I broke the bread I remembered Isaiah 53:'He was wounded for my transgressions,bruised for my iniquities, the chastisement needed for my well being was upon him and by the stripes that wounded him, I am healed and made whole' I pondered this and another scripture came to mind John6:53'...unless you eat the flesh and drink the blood of the son of man you have no life in you...' whoa! Then the holy spirit spoke these words in my heart 'the mystery of the broken body of Jesus'. His body was broken, so yours and mine wouldn't be. Why did he have to endure being brutalized/beaten/ mocked/tortured prior to the cross? He could have just been put to death right? There was a purpose. It wasn't just random.. oops BTW he got whacked in the process of being taken to the cross - No, God purposefully allowed that bc Isaiah53:10 says it pleased God to bruise him. WHY? Well, if you continue to read to the end you'll see the reason why. He suffered Physically, Mentally, Spiritually to ensure that we would escape. Sadly not many Christians seem aware of this or even try to appropriate what belongs to them. Friend, healing is the children's bread. Believe it and you'll see it. Everytime we have stood on his word in faith, we have seen healing come to pass. Sometimes instantaneously, other times over a period of time. Jesus provided healing as part of the atonement......To be contd on another day. Blessings blessings and more blessings!

At long last

Hi all. This is where I share the good news(gospel) about Jesus Christ, my Lord and Saviour. I'm not ashamed of the gospel for it is the power of God unto salvation. I was told to start a blog quite some time ago, but kept postponing it. Now I'm here and excited about the revelation that God is continually pouring into me. Today, I was 'breaking bread' when I suddenly saw..a nugget of wisdom I'll share next time. God is good.
