| Haniel meaning "Grace of God" I have been a Christian all my life, but now I am a believer who is born again I thank Jesus for what he is done in my life and still doing, I thank my Grandmother who is been praying for me for the last 20 yrs I believe its all her prayers and God’s grace on my life. I had been a alcoholic a chain smoker and also a big sinner. My parents come from a Christian background but I would only go to church from 1 reason WINE & BREAD!
Till one day when my mother asked me to come to a evening service where 2-3 young men where coming to preach the gospel I really did not wanted to go but I don’t know something pushed me to go to that meeting, while I was setting and listening to this young guy who was preaching the word of God he started telling about his life of how he was, I realized what he was saying was about my life and the way I lived it started to prick me so I left the meeting and went away while I was traveling in my car heading to office late night about 10:30 pm I heard a voice talking to me saying “Go Now and Leave your life of sin” (John 8:11), at once I was very puzzled and I panicked when I reached office I sat back in my cabin and started to pray, “Lord the devil is troubling me please help” after I prayed this I sat back to my work and was wondering why would the devil ask me not to sin!.
After I left office that morning on my way back I again heard the voice saying, “I am serious Leave your life of Sin”. When I reached home I sat back on my bed and started to pray hard for the 1st time in my life and as I prayed I said God why am I hearing the devils voice, now for the third time I heard a voice saying to me “I am he that comforts you” (Isaiah 51:12). That’s when I surrendered my life that day I don’t know why I felt like going back again to listen to those young guys but this time I was the 1st one to reach the place by about 5:30 pm and while I was sitting I started to pray and confess my sins and cried to the Lord when I opened my eyes the service was over and I never realized it. It was on the 4th of Aug 2005 when I gave my life to Jesus.
I started reading Bible and praying everyday till I came to a passage where It talks about the Spiritual gifts (1Cor 12). I have always heard my grandmother talk in a different language while she was praying and I used to mock her but was never able to speak that way, I asked God why she is able and I am not so I started to desire in my heart that even I should pray that way on, I started praying really hard everyday I used to kneel for 1-2 hours and pray asking God from the gifts till on the 25th Aug while I was driving the car God filled me with a fire inside It was so strong that whoever was next to me fainted I had this mighty man of God with me and a friend of mine we were prying in the car and the next minute I realize that I was the only 1 praying I was not able to control the flow, I woke them up and every time I touched them they fainted again. I didn’t really know what was happening to me so I decided to stop the car and wait till they woke up and when they did I asked them if there was a place where we could pray so they guided me to a family close by where we could go and pray, the family that we went to was a blessed family where from the child to the elder of the house talk in tongues, So we prayed in that house and the anointing started to flow but this time it was more mighty and powerful.
I started to hear from the Lord as he spoke to me I started to pray for people in that house all fell in the presence of the Lord. That’s when God spoke to me and said that he has called me to be a Prophet (Jeremiah 1:5) and also promised me that he would show me the treasures hidden in the darkness (Isaiah 45:3) but I really didn’t not understand what he meant by saying that he would show me the secret hidden in the darkness.
On the 31st Aug the Lord spoke to me and asked me to give up my job the next day on the 1st Sep, The Lord gave me this verse Matthew 4:19, I fought with the Lord asking why I cant work and serve him but he already had commanded me and with a great sorrow and burden I called my Boss next morning and resigned my Job, My boss started to argue with me as to why and was not ready to leave me I started to pray in my heart that’s when God started to reveal about my Boss’s family and told me that the mother in-law was suffering from cancer and the wife was suffering with piles and told him about this and immediately he calm down and started to ask me of how I knew about it, I explained to him about my calling, “I told him that I am already bought and I am not for sale again Jesus has bought me by his blood”. My boss who was a unbeliever asked me if I could pray from his wife and mother in-law, I did pray for them and they were healed by God’s Grace and my boss surrendered his life to God. That’s when I realized my calling of what God had spoken to me and promised me in Jer 1:5 and Isa 45:3, from that day the Lord has been working miracles in me and through me and I am thankful to the Lord, I had sorrow of leaving my job and a hefty pay but today I boldly stand because I am the Ambassador of Christ and his Kingdom and my riches are more than what I can earn here(Heb 10:34-35) a Kingdom that can never be shaken (Heb 12:28) the which he turned it into joy, Today I serve the Lord with all my heart mind and soul and I live for him and looking to study my theology to serve him with more power.
AMEN
