Chapter 2 (my salvation story episode 1)

 But I can't tell even unto this day, I haven't been able to raffle it all out but I know there is more, while I was in the bus waiting for other passengers I heard someone's thoughts saying I hope he doesn't die of this wrong association called friends he keeps in (Yoruba dialect), Dominic was there seeking for me he was interrogating me base on my actions I told him I am fine I just have to leave, while in the bus thinking of what is next to do, I saw a prophet walking by the roadside, he wasn't well dressed he also looked wretched then I  heard a voice from within saying to me is this what you what to become ?! 


I rebuked it and said to myself I am going to be great, while I was about to hit Lagos I had battles in my mind which is based on the church I would love to serve in, I chose CCC ahead of Christ Embassy, I went from ijebu to lagos island, while I was in the Brt bus that same voice came to me again referencing the man beside me, just follow this man home and be this maid but then I rebuked that thought once again. when I got to CMS I took a bus to SEME I intended to get into Benin Republic but then I didn't have a password and I couldn't communicate in my local language I got to SEME very late that night, and I told a bike man to help me to a closest CCC church when I got there I explained myself they allowed me to sleep over that night but I couldn't sleep i was reminiscing on what had happened.


When I explained what happened to me, a prophet from that church gave me spiritual tasks to do which I did, I met an elderly woman in that church she has a grandson that I love dearly I taught him a couple of times not knowing I was going to be a teacher, I was there for a while (A week precisely), I was told they need to speak with my parents and at that time I didn't want to because I felt all that I knew from the beginning was all a lie but then they spoke to my Dad. While I was there my mind was reformed, I joined some youth in observing bible study we talked about the church, and the mandate all this interested me and my hunger to know more set in at this time I examined all of my past life and things I did, I felt bad at myself then a new voice from within told me things that I will do one of which He said was you're going to be Teacher (in Truth). 


I kept reading and studying the Holy scripture, I left SEME on my way to Lagos Ketu precisely while I was going I heard a voice saying to me I have better plans for you. There are some of those plans I won't be able to share just yet but you must see for yourself, when I got to Ketu I tried all I could for me not to be noticed by anyone, that same day I left for Ogijo After I had packed my stuff to my big sister's place she knew something had changed she questioned to know, (big sister:- your friends kept calling me to know about your whereabouts, what should I tell them? My reply:- tell them I am not with you and you don't know my whereabouts. She asked again are you guys fighting? I said I just don't need a friend now. We are good am just on my own. 


We still live in Ketu, and I don't want to have anything to do with that place again, I just despised a lot of things, anything that could or might take me back to what I used to be I don't want to have anything to do with it. But then the struggle never stopped My Mind Changed but My body remained the same it was a battle, I was always battling against the desires of my flesh and for this reason, I kept, asking God for a woman I could call my own, that wasn't all i started having sexual dreams and no matter how I fast and pray nothing never seem to change but I didn't allow this affect me. 


We then got a new apartment at odogunyan because for a while, I hadn't been going to church and I wasn't feeling cool about it I just wanted to serve God and at Ogijo I couldn't locate a church of mine, but then when we move to odogunyan I saw one church not too far from home so I thought I would attend their seeker service (On a Wednesday) stepping out that morning I saw a brother on garment going a different route and I heard from within ask him where he is going and follow, I asked him i guess you're going for the seeker service this morning, he said yes I am. Do you mind if I accompany you, he said no problem and we went.

Chapter 3 (My salvation story episode 1)

 My sincere apologies to my readers. I didn’t mean to go blank all this while. It has been a journey beyond my understanding—a lot has happened and is still happening—but to the glory of God, we are back. Let me share with you some of the things I learnt during my time offline. I am married now, to the glory of God, to a beautiful damsel (God-sent). She used to be someone I counseled many years back—2021 precisely. When I first met her, I saw God’s glory (her beauty), but she hadn’t yet come into a true relationship with Him (God). She was operating on a transactional method with God: she wanted God to give her things, and she would give Him her best in return, as she often said. So, I decided not to be moved by what I saw physically, but to focus on showing her the God that I know. In 2024, we met again—both single this time. I couldn’t help but admire God’s beauty in her, but I was still focused on preaching the God I knew to her. This time, she was willing to accept Him because ...

Chapter 3 (My salvation story episode 2)

 When I got back from my first visit to my father-in-law, all I could think about was when to go back there and do what was needful. Even without any financial support, I picked a date and spoke to a few people about it as I was led, showing them the list given to me and the date I intended to get married. They pledged to support me, and most of them did, to the glory of God. I chose April 24th. That was just about 69 days from my first visit. I did this without having any money of my own. Due to my little trust and understanding in God at the time, I was leaning more on my own understanding and putting my trust in those I had told. Here comes  PEOPLE'S PERCEPTIVE ABOUT ME : SAMUEL  GET yourself a job so You won't need to depend on anyone, and whatever you are given should only be considered a bonus. I was asked, “Once you both are married, how do you intend to survive?” “You don’t have money, yet you went to pick a date?” “What is your dad’s contribution?” “How much do y...

Chapter 3 (My salvation story episode 3)

 There was a time when God placed a burden in my heart — and in the hearts of two other brethren — for more. We desired to know Jesus Christ more deeply. We longed to live fully for Him and to pour into others whatever He had given us. We wanted to see a generation of youth truly burning for Christ — this was the More. I didn’t want to be the only one seeing things this way. I knew it was divine—something not of this world. But how could I explain it? I found myself speaking and preaching like an elder, as if I were preparing to leave this world soon. The three of us prayed intensely — mostly in tongues and often aloud. It was a new culture, unfamiliar within our fold. I was troubled at times, trying to manage the intensity, the noise, the energy—but I couldn’t. We began gathering on Saturdays. People started joining us. The numbers grew, and with that growth came fear. What would people say? Our understanding of the Word of God felt beyond the ordinary. We called ourselves *The Ch...
