Thank you for reading Daily Energiser. Please recommend it to all your contacts.
I read with keen interest, my friend Hc Oduro Oladunni’s opening remarks in his facebook post of 17th October 2018 on what some people think Christianity actually is. They see Christianity as a weapon in the hands of the whites to continue to put the black in slavery. I also love the articulation of his personal experiences with Jesus Christ that which he used to support his assertion that Christianity is real, not an instrument of oppression invented by one race to dominate another. Unless you experience Christ in a personal way, Christianity will mean a thousand and one things to you and you will never be able to claim your own portion in Christ. The real test of Christianity is in your personal experience with Christ. I started sharing my testimonies on Christianity in the social media (facebook, whatsapp and Telegram) recently and this is the fourth edition and honestly speaking, it is going to be an unending serialisation for the benefit of those whom God had destined to win. Shortly, they will all be posted in my blogsite at www.dailyenergiser.blogspot.com where they will be permanently accessible to willing minds.
I say Christianity is real. I say this because of my personal landmark experiences in this life. Let me share another one here as it relates to my career, just as my friend Hc Oduro of Igbemo did. I went to Lagos on January 2 1973 in company of my brother who promised to send me to school. Unfortunately, this promise he could not keep. Then I opted to look for a job which will enable me to sponsor myself. The very first job I got with Specomill Textiles Limited, Ikeja – thanks to my same kind brother – was titled “Factory Operative” (simply meaning a labourer). I took it joyfully. After some months on the job, I discovered I was in a career not fit for me. I was simply a bunch of broom (or better still a mopping stick) in the hands of the Chinese people good only for cleaning purposes. Then I wasn’t’ going to church and I resisted all attempts at making me to do so. However, out of my desperation, to change this undesirable career, I suddenly started praying fervently to God to deliver me from slavery, career wise. Indeed, at a point, my colleagues nicknamed me “Pastor”, some even mocked me or made jest of me. But each time I was mocked, I prayed louder to God to deliver me. I searched, searched and searched for years for a better job to no avail.
One day in 1976 or thereabouts, I RELUCTANTLY went to Christ Gospel Church on the invitation of my close friend whom we were both rejecting Christ before but who got converted before me. On getting there, the Holy Spirit took over the service. In closing his sermon, the Pastor then asked us to request from God what we needed. Of course, top on my agenda was ‘a change of job’. After the prayers we were asked never again to repeat the same requests but simply thank God for them having been granted. I stuck religiously to this golden advice.
On getting home same day, an Uncle of mine had come to look for me at least twice for an employment opportunity which arose from a newly formed company. It wasn’t long I came back that Uncle Kayode came back again to fetch me. He drove me straight to my destiny-changing professional career as a Clerk Typist! The miracle was that even though I could type very well, I had no certificate to prove my competence in the my chosen Secretarial profession. Also, to worsen my story, all I had as evidence of having schooled at all was my tattered First Leaving School Testimonial. I had not obtained the Certificate! All these notwithstanding, the Favour from God and man gave me the employment which marked the beginning of my purposeful career in life. You may say this is coincidental but I will respond that it is God’s work. It is Jesus Christ in action. Why, in spite of my personal efforts, hasn’t this coincidence been every long before the day I finally suYemi Omogboyega:
rrendered my life to Christ?
Brethren, many are in bondage till date because of their unbelief. Why remain among them and keep preventing your own miracles from happening? Come to Jesus Christ today and your life will never remain the same. Please read Matthew 7:7. God bless you.
