My Personal Testimony

Before i received eternal life i was worried and afraid of dying young.

My father died on March 9 1971, the biggest fight of the century between Muhammad Ali and Joe Frazier was just over with Joe Frazier winning the bout and the first boxer to knock Muhammad Ali down. I was 7 years old. I was afraid and I was afraid of dying. At age 14 my mother died. Before my mother died she could not afford Olive Oil so she anointed me with Wesson Oil. When she died she did not leave me money only 2 bible scriptures. they were: Eccleciates 12...remember thy creator in the days of thy youth. and Ephesians 6: put on the whole armour of God. At age eightteen on a Saturday night in November of 1981 at Holy Trinity Anglican Churh, I gave my life to Christ. It was the first annual Faith Alive seminar session. driving home I felt full and all of my anxiety was gone. That is when I knew it was real.

Then I discovered eternal life...and I began to seek God and understand his plans for my life.

Now that I have eternal life I am no longer afraid of dying. Romans 8:35 asks what can separate us...nothing can separate us from the love of God, in Christ Jesus.

Several years ago. I was driving home from work at the airport and I had an old 79 Honda Accord at the time. It smoked like a chimney and drank oil like a drunken sailor. One night the car ran hot and cut off. I never prayed so hard in all my life. I prayed Lord don't let me brake down. It was around 2 or 3 am on a very dark road named Gladstone Rd. To make a long story short after rolling or how we say coasting for about 100 yards I rolled the ignition and it started one crank and I go home safely. Thank God. I was on a lonely road about 5 miles long, with no street lights, no gas station, no other cars only me and God and he got me home safely.

In Romans 8:38 says "for I am persuaded, that neither death, nor life, nor angels, nor principalities, nor powers, nor things present, nor things to come, 39v nor height, nor depth, nor any other creature, shall be able to separate us from the love of God, which is in Christ Jesus our Lord." This is the confidence that I have eternal life and that I am going to heaven when I die. Amen.
