My conversion to Jesus Christ
I gave my life to Christ at the age of 8 on the occasion of my First Communion. My decision was entirely personal and I do not remember a man asking me to dedicate my life to Jesus Christ. Alone in a room in the father's house, I said to Jesus:
Lord, I give you my life and from today, I no longer want to sin. After that I went out to tell my big sister the decision I had just made. I knew nothing about the 'personal decision to follow Christ'. I had understood the evangelical process with the little that I followed every week at the Saint-Jacques Catholic Church in Bangang. Then I served at the altar continuously until the age of 11, during school masses and Sunday masses in this same mission.
My estrangement from God.
From 11 to 20 years old, I rarely go to church, shocked by the lightness of Christians vis-à-vis respect for the Word of God. The death knell is sounded when in a Catholic church in Biyem-assi, in Yaoundé , I hear the priest openly declare:
Do what I tell you to do, but don't do what I do. This was the last time I was at the Catholic Church as a member. I had given my life to Christ, but had no one to supervise my strengthening. After this incident, I began to consider worship in other assemblies as an alternative. Already; I attended the Johnston Protestant College in the 5th grade and I can say that I was marked by the simplicity of their worship and by the school choir.
The practice of Hatha-yoga and the return to faith. In 1992, I joined a Hatha yoga club (Gymnastic exercise sessions were held at the Polytechnic School in Melen). I was then a student at the University of Yaoundé. After 6 months, it was the initiation to transcendental meditation.
This took place in Biyem-Assi, near the Lycée. The following year, I meet in Bamako brothers who live Christian purity (I went to Mali for further studies). Following an exhortation from a friend (Jules), I dedicate myself again to Jesus Christ.
All of my New Age books are burnt.
It's take off. My spiritual growth has therefore been steady. For two to three weeks, I attend the Evangelical Church in Bamako-Coura. Following an invitation to the Assemblies of God, I find that they have a greater interest in worship and respect for the Word. After a critical review time (2 weeks), I resolved to go back. It is there that I have flourished in the faith to this day.
I bear witness before God that the Assemblies of God in Mali have a pure thirst for the things of God and I know that God satisfies them and will satisfy them again. They know how to love and pray for the forgiveness of the guilty. They know how to persevere in the face of adversity. From 1994 to 2011, I had the most beautiful experiencesChristians in the choir, in worship, in youth, in teaching the Word alongside formidable servants (pastors, missionaries and laymen). The next step led to an unexpected rise.
Persecution and the need for sound doctrine. As a result of a serious persecution that lasted over two years, I realized that the lack of follow-up after my conversion at age 8 was not without consequences. During the two years, I face nightmares, rejections, accusations, invisible voices speaking to me, visual hallucinations, calls to return to the Catholic Church, calls to return to ancestor worship, calls to reconsider the virtues of oriental sciences. From September 2011 to November 2013, I went through some turbulence.
Dear brothers in Christ, my zeal was disputed without my knowledge. Being in Christ since I was 8 years old, I had to remain in Christ and secure my princely dignity through sound doctrine. From 8 to 20 years old, there was service in the Catholic Church, there was the traditional twinning ceremony (I am Bamileke), there was initiation into Hatha yoga and transcendental meditation ( in this place we chanted 'Babanam Kevalam' and mantras that exalted Buddha!). Please tell me. Yes my brothers and sisters, pity me, if only I had known! I was traumatized by nightmares to the point where sleeping became a challenge. In dreams, the 'image of me' found itself enslaved and dominated by the Catholic Church. I kept asking myself: 'but what am I still dealing with this church? I 'saw' myself a slave to the Hindus? But how ? The ancestral spirits seemed to have rights over 'me'! Please, all this suffering was the joy of my enemies Freemason and Rosicrucians,marabouts and wizards! From Bamako to Ségou, from Ségou to Koutiala, from Koutiala to Bamako, from Bamako to Douala, from Douala to Mbouda, etc., from town to town, from village to village, my life had become 'spiritual harassment' and peace was become a dead end quest '.
My spiritual healing.
After more than 12 months of incessant torment, oppressive tension, mental confusion in numbers even in churches (because I went from church to church to seek the solution to my problem (including the Catholic churches), the grace of God guided a pastor to counsel me over the radio saying, (I'm transcribing the idea.) If your life has become so confusing that you don't understand anything about your life anymore, you search and you find it's not right, you seem have lost the direction of your life: know that you are under attack of witchcraft, stand in Christ, in his Word, persevere without being distracted and your deliverance will be immediate.
Wouaouh! That's what happened. Immediately I began to pray with a firm resolution that these words are a message from God to me. Being already accustomed before 2011 to prayer and meditation on the Word of God, the reconciliation with God was rapid. From then on my healing was gradual and effective. First, the peace of God which surpasses all understanding has won my heart. Receiving this message instilled in me the confidence that I would survive my distress because death was already an accepted outcome. Before this event, I prayed as if every moment was the last.
The second step took place when another pastor still on the radio said a few months later: (I'm transcribing the idea).
There is a Christian that I met, he was like a zombie, just because he refused to forgive his enemies. He carried sadness within him and his face did not give you any desire to approach him… Instead of being light, you saw only darkness in him…
My perfect healing was announced. Until then, I had prayed for my enemies. But in the unconscious, I hoped that God would give them an exemplary lesson. Because in fact, the agents of the devil listed above had been contacted by my enemies (friends turned into enemies) to explore my life and see what are the means by which they could finally cause me harm. It was necessary to pray sincerely for them, to pray that God would forgive them the wrong they caused me, for the organization of the persecution that they supported.
I did and even contacted them to greet them. Before this step, I had lost my smile since the beginning of the persecution, amazed that the entourage that I had so loved and served (at church, in the neighborhood and at work) had turned on me for no reason. . Forgiveness and prayer for them took a weight off my heart and the joy of living, of serving God and of relaunching my projects returned. The will to do good also returned as I had become suspicious and cold about Christian kindness. The healing is perfect as of this day. It took place in Douala in Cameroon where I currently reside. New to Douala, it was only after much suffering that I found the Church of the Assemblies of God.
Thanksgiving for healing.
My thanks to Pastor Israel and Pastor Jérémie Nembot for the two messages respectively. All the glory to Jesus Christ who used them for such ministry on my behalf. All my thanks to Radio Bonne Nouvelle (99.6 FM in Douala and around). who I hope will find in this blog the resources to help the multitude as they do every day.
May God support them constantly. All my thanks to all of the Assemblies of God or other Christian assemblies who prayed for me tirelessly and who supported me with their patience, and with their visits, and with their gifts. May the Lord bless them abundantly. All my thanks to my family who took in, supported and supported me throughout the tribulation. May God comfort them with His wonderful works. Thank you to all those who called me, wrote and consoled me from Mali and elsewhere without regard to slander and slander; my victory is also theirs.
Evaluation of healing.
Before the delivery by radio messages, I spent the days at home, in the bedroom. When I sat in front of the television, my mind was harassed by every picture; when I left the house, my sight and my thought were harassed by any scene that presented itself to me, even the simple play of children, even the simple horns of vehicles.
In the countryside or in the bush, I had a little respite; however, it was necessary to face social life, it was necessary to reestablish a social life worthy of a child of God. It was necessary to avoid the search for the austerity of solitary ascetics because not biblical in our opinion. After all, Christians live to serve men and not to isolate themselves!
The faithful of Jesus Christ must abide in Him. In Christ we are a new creation (2Corinthians 5:17) and conqueror with Christ over the world and over the devil, provided that we remain in Christ. With my mind released, the Spirit of God granted me to understand that I should ask God for forgiveness for returning to religious and pagan practices that do not honor Him. If you have read Pastor Jonas' testimony, you understand the essence of the Catholic Church (ruled by holy magic).
If you have read the ancestor worship talk you understand that I had nothing to do with a twins leaving ceremony (we have a post in the works on this), it is not by the Holy Spirit that the traditional authority operates the rituals of leaving the twins, de la mané (magne) and tané (tagne) [(mané = mother of twins and tané = father of twins)]. The initiation to Yoga and to transcendental meditation is accompanied by an incorporation of the subject by a Hindu spirit (on this occasion, a new name is given). In my case, the initiation was not successful and I was not given any name. It had to be taken back but I stopped going to meetings. I have been harassed by Hindu spirits however.
God's salvation is in Jesus Christ.
The constant theme in the torments was: 'there are other paths that lead to God, if you do not return to us [' we 'was sometimes the Catholic Church, sometimes ancestral traditions, sometimes oriental beliefs such as reincarnation, nirvana, etc.], you are lost forever '; 'there are other ways that lead to eternal life'.
Glory to Jesus, I had to and I must stay with Christ Jesus and it is in Him that I find the strength to denounce spiritual impostors in this blog. He paid the price for my redemption, for my redemption, and no other spiritual authority can dispute my soul with Him. I just have to live in him with daily respect for his Word. The strength of the Christian lies in respecting the Scriptures.
During these long years of wandering away from evangelical purity, God loved me however. His mercy has watched over me and I can proclaim loud and clear that the Christian's victory over darkness is governed and consolidated by sound doctrine.
I can tell you that abiding in Christ makes you invincible and ever victorious before the enemy. This is the raison d'être of this blog and of our book 'Letter to the Prince of God'. If you are a Christian, you are a prince of God. If you abide in Christ and in His Word, you are an eternal conqueror here on earth and for eternity. In doing so, you are in communion with the Father and the Son: “Jesus answered him: If anyone loves me, he will keep my word, and my Father will love him; we will come to him, and we will make our home with him. The one who doesn't do not love do not keep my words.
And the word which you hear is not mine, but of the Father who sent me. »((John 14: 23-24); Read also the entire chapter 15 of the Gospel according to John1 as well as the first epistle of John). Don't give Satan any reason to accuse you before the throne of God. And if you have strayed for a time as was the case for me, sincerely ask forgiveness, so that the forgiveness of Christ your Advocate with God frees you from any pretext of the devil (Ephesians 4:27).
