My Testimony.

Before I received eternal life, my life was a chase of cheap sexual thrills. Sex was a thing I sought after a lot and without that satisfaction, I’d turn to pornography to fill that void.

I remember chatting to this one girl I met online. She expressed her disappointment to me about her previous relationships and I took advantage of that by implying I was different. She said she’d only sleep with me if I was her boyfriend. I remember thinking to myself that I’d pretend to be her boyfriend just so that I can sleep with her.

One night as I sat and watched Pastor Michael Todd of Transformation Church preach about sexual sin and the effect it has on you and the will God has for your life, I felt this overwhelming emotion that immediately transformed me.

Now that I have eternal life, I’ve found myself drawn away from all things that could result in sexual sin and lust.

I remember a few months after receiving eternal life, I was in a bar celebrating my cousin’s wedding and the temptation to engage in sexual encounters with the women there was very strong but I felt this pull from within me drawing me away further and further. Where as before, it would’ve been very easy for me to let myself go and do what my flesh felt like doing.

Different from 2008 and 2012 when I gave my life to Christ not knowing what it meant and ultimately still relying on works and feeling guilt and shame most times that I’d fall short. But now I know I’ve received eternal life now because I understand and know that it’s only through Jesus Christ that I have received this gift of eternal life by grace through faith.
