Pick him up from the ruins of sin and transform him into a beautiful heaven bound saint.
The story of my life pulsates with the wonder and it attests to God’s ability to save the chiefest of sinners.
My parents had separated when I was only two years old.

By the time I was about eleven years I had already learnt how to smoke a cigarette and how to pickpockets.
I stole money to enable me to go to the theatre, buy alcohol, cigarettes and so on. And before my father knew it, his first child was out of control.
I would leave the house for days only to return home when I wanted. My father was tired of me. Twice, he took me to the reformatory, thinking I would change, instead of improving I grew worst.
When I was admitted to a boarding school at the age of twelve. My father was just too happy to have me admitted into the boardinghouse.
He felt I would be thought some lessons that would bring about the change he wanted in me.
But what happened? it was while at the high school I met other boys whose influence had a worse degenerating effect on my life.
Before long, I learnt to take marijuana and other hard drugs. Within a short time, I graduated into a drug addict.
I became a terror to everybody around me including my principal, teachers and a senior at my school.
As a result of my living, I had to change school twice. That means I attend three schools in order to complete a five-year school course.
The principal of the last school I attended suffered much from my diabolical activities. I was so wicked that I was responsible for his demotion from a principal to an ordinary classroom teacher.
By the time I was twenty-six years I had become so perverted corrupted and wicked that everybody who knew me was afraid of me.
I had virtually become a slave to a cigarette, alcohol, women and marijuana and other dangerous drugs. I was smoking at least a hundred sticks of the cigarette a daily.
Whenever am broke I could painfully manage forty sticks per day.
But God in His mercy did not allow me to sink further into the ruins of sin. I could even have gone mad or died, but God by His amazing grace kept me alive despite my wickedness.
I will never forget the day I had an encounter with Jesus Christ. I was invited to a Christian camp meeting, and I was told that it was going to be a wonderful meeting. I attended to my surprise it was truly a wonderful meeting.
Thousands of people and the conference officials at the gate of the conference hall were most polite and very friendly.
None of them could challenge me for coming to such a place with my cigarette lit they left me to my conscience.
As soon as I entered I threw away my cigarette and went to sit in front of the tent, curiously watching all that was going on. I was not too enthusiastic and I had planned not to stay too long.
I had always thought of religion, especially the serious type as more or less rubbish I did not really know what salvation from sin is all about.
A man climbed the rostrum and began to preach in such a way that I have never heard before. At a time, he pointed right in my direction and said.
My sinner friend, you have got to repent today I was angry, I thought in my heart why should he call me a sinner? I am as good as anybody else.
But he began to quote scripture after scripture, but for the first time in my life, I realised I was a sinner that my soul was bound for hell and that I need a saviour.
What the preacher said made such an indelible impression in my mind then I started to imagine hell and seen myself in the side of it, I tried to shut that image but I could not.
The preacher made an altar call for all sinners to surrender to Jesus. Before I knew it I made my way to the front to indicate my commitment.
I left the conference venue for home immediately, I got home at about 8.00 pm and I tried to sleep but I could not. I went on my knees and began to weep.
After crying for a long time I began to say God forgive me my sins. I kept on repeating this still crying till 2:00 am.
For the first time in my life, I slept like a baby. By the time I woke up all the thought of condemnation that had been in my mind had gone.
My countenance changed and there were peace and assurance in my mind. The urges to smoke cigarette or marijuana and take alcohol died.
Since that day I have become a different person. Everybody around me was amazed at my change of life, I must confess that I did not fully understand the change that took place in my life.
Today my life now a focus, Christ has become the hero of my life. I give praises to God for His amazing grace that saved a wretched sinner like me.[/vc_column_text][/vc_column][/vc_row]
