Journey to Damascus

       The mission of catching them young was very active in the environment I grew up in,it's either you are caught up by God or by the Devil but in my own case,it was a battle,I was in the middle,none had caught me, probably I was not ready to be caught,I was still enjoying the things of the world,yet I claimed I loved God,I was one of the most active kid in the children department,I could do everything from acting to singing,preaching and anything that there is to do in the church but I was not free from the boundage of sin and all of a sudden,after my primary school,I was told to go to one of the most currupted secondary school in my community. I was already currupt and I was an influencer,I really can't explain but I had every female kid at my beak and call,I was able to influence them negatively without pressure and then I was about to attend this school,it's meant more trouble for them but something interesting happened.

             I resumed school on a Tuesday and I was told that Wednesday is the school fellowship Bible study and as an active child in church,I wanted to continue my activeness in school,I decided to attend the Bible study and so I did.I really don't know what I heard but I knew something hit me,I couldn't explain why the song

       Into my heart

       Into my heart

       Come into my heart,Lord Jesus

       Come in today,come into stay

       Come into my heart,Lord Jesus

sounded different,I was singing it with all my heart,this was my Sunday school song and we sing it casually every sunday. What had happened to me? I really wanted to touch reality,I really wanted to be caught by God,I wanted him to dwell inside me,the longing was so deep,I didn't know that I was going to encounter light on my journey to Damascus

         I was thinking I was going to go really bad when I get to my Damascus(School) ,I thought so many girls were going to get bad,trust me,I was scared,I really don't want to do things that would hurt God but I wasn't ready to make Jesus smile,I just wanted to be warm,not too holy and not too bad but everything began to change after that Wednesday,my joy became full,I was happy in well doing,anything that would hurt God,hurt me also,my conscience became active,my journey to darkness became a journey of encountering light.

     There are times we feel lost,we feel we are falling away from God's grace,we feel, we've gone too far away from the presence of God but it is not so,God is ever near,He is still running after you and He won't stop until He catches you.He is not a God that gives up on His own.There is no shadow that He won't light up just to reach you,it doesn't matter what city you are on your way to today,he doesn't matter what you intend doing when you get there,God can encounter you anywhere.

God doesn't give up on anyone,my mentor will say,"if the Devil go to God to plead for forgiveness,God will forgive him but it's not possible anyways",well I am just saying that God is too good to leave you the way you are but He will never force Himself on you, you must be ready to allow him dwell in you and as well work inside you.  

      There is no better life outside God,the moment you let God live in you,you begin to live,you don't have a life outside God's life,He is life and it is in Him you live,move and have your being.God doesn't give up on any man and you shouldn't too, as a Kingdom woman,you must not stop travailing until you see God's kingdom shining all around,you must not stop travailing until you see the heart of men overflowing with passion for God's presence.

          His Love for you is reckless,He is not careful while loving you,he won't mind leaving the 99 just to come to get you from the pit of sin and it won't be nice to leave him waiting for too long.Today is another opportunity for you to touch His hands,for you to allow Him pour His love on you,no one can love you better than Him.Don't give up on yourself because He won't give up on you,no matter the addiction you are struggling with,no matter the level of sins you have committed,He can help you ,if you let Him. Allow Him encounter you,even on your journey to Damascus and watch Him transform you,just as He transformed Paul of Tarsus.He is in the business of changing men.

You think you can't stop that addiction,you think your weakness can't turn to your strength? Then allow Him work in you,He is a Potter,all you have to do is submit to him as a vessel in the hand of the Potter and see how beautiful He will mend your scar.

            Don't procrastinate!!
