MY ENCOUNTER WITH GOD

I am Brother Emmanuel Okwuosha

I just want to share this testimony to the glory of God Almighty. To also encourage young believers that there’s  no time left. Please be careful on what you are doing here on earth. For me It was  just a grace and mercy from caring God. By now I could have been in hell if not for his mercy that find me.

When I was very young between  the age of 8 or 9 years. And I find my self before the judgement seat and the Lord ask me to go that I did not please him. Then I started crying. My Dad and Mum came where I was Sobering. According to them they said I was crying so loud like someone that was in pain so they woke me up. So they asked me what happen and I told them what the Lord said to me. My Dad then warned me to be very careful that the Lord is not happy the way I was leaving my life.

So in my early twenty’s   the same thing happen again. I still find my self before the judgement seat and He told me the second time that I did not please HIM. I started crying again and I pleaded with Him but He said NO that I did not Please him. This time I ensured that I am careful with what I do or say and abiding strictly to HIS instructions by HIS grace.

In November 25th 2005, at my place of work then the LORD showed me how the last day will be in my sleep. It was late evening when I encountered HIS wondrous visit. The next thing I heard was a loud Voice and a Trumpet from above. I was more glad and I tried to look up to HEAVEN to see what  was happening then I saw HIM opening the cloud like a vain. And the cloud was giving way to HIS passage. However, I couldn’t see HIS face because  it was so bright and brighter than the sun. It was so glorious and illuminating. At this I knew the LORD is here for the saints. And I was shouting JEHOVAH, JEHOVAH, JEHOVAH, JEHOVAH. And after my fourth shout of JEHOVAH, I just got up. Glory to GOD!

My beloved readers, do you really know the most painful thing that can ever happen to a man in life?  Some will say the most painful thing is poverty, Sickness, Death, Blindness, Deaf  and so on and so forth . I guess you may figure yours within these context but I will tell you at the end of my story. Sure you will know better at the end when the question above is answered.

The bible says we all have sinned and have come short of God‘s glory. By HIS grace I am alive to testify HIS goodness and mercy upon my life. This true life story is written to encourage us especially at this end time. If I have died at the disgusting time sure brethren I would have be in HELL FIRE! . I am so grateful for HIS LOVE E that find me. Of a truth  He is a merciful Father, mercy is HIS nature. He chastise those that He loves. I am one of those that HE loves and this is my greatest happiness.

In my early thirty’s  I used to drink alcohol. One day at my home relaxing a question stroked my mind and I was furious about the question. The question is suppose Jesus visit me now can I entertain HIM with beer to drink which was my brand of alcohol? Then I vehemently  answer to my self NO! I cannot give YOU such to drink LORD. I immediately asked myself why are you drinking it then? I made a sharp turn and said never again will I drink any alcohol. That I promised my LORD.

About seven(7) to eight(8) months after which I quit from the habit of drinking alcohol then the devil visited me with trial and a severe hardship. I lost my Job and life became difficult for me. The devil will always fight back when you drop any of his characteristic. Glory to GOD! Hallelujah! GOD is good to be trusted at all times. Three(3) to four(4) months that I lost my job I persisted my trust on the LORD and HE settled me. He restored my job back to me.

GOD is love for ever. So, I got a call back from my company to resume work at Calabar. On my way from Warri, Delta State back to resume the work which the LORD restored for me at Calabar Cross River State, I had to pass a night at Port Harcourt, Rivers State since the journey was quite far and it will be more stressful to embark on such a direct long distance journey. So on my way I called my elder Brother that I am coming to pass the night at his place in Port Harcourt but he told me that he is not at Home that I should find somewhere to sleep that night. So I called a friend of mine who was working in Choba  close to Port Harcourt. He also is leaving for offshore the next day. So he now ask me to come over and spend the night in his place. When I got there, I met him with a girl in his apartment, meanwhile he is a married man. He requested that we should go out to relax somewhere. I accepted to go out with them. On getting there, he requested what brand of drink do you care for and I answered ‘bear’. I was offered bear. I opened the drink and about to drink it I got a clear voice that said don’t try it. I disobeyed because I didn’t know how to tell my friend that I won’t drink the bear again after I have fully accepted it. (I disobeyed, I disobeyed again. LORD HAVE MERCY)! So I drank it. Suddenly I noticed that something left me. He now introduced the girl as his girl friend. And I replied no problem. O my GOD! This is a great departure from GOD. when we got back to the house it was time to sleep. So I kneel down  to pray  but I could not pray because I hard a Voice again that said to me did I not warn you not to take that drink? So I was afraid to pray but only what I could say was God please have mercy. Then I lay down and the next morning I continue my journey to Calabar but I was very scared of accident because I knew that I was no longer save for HIS presence has departed from me. That was my thought all through the journey. More so I was afraid that if I die now I will definitely not going to make Heaven because of the disobedience to the voice that warn me.
Lucky me I got to Calabar safely. This shows that God was still with me unknowingly. Although I got to the field safely but I became very sick that I couldn’t able to work in the field. I was totally empty and such was unable to rest in my cabin alone. Therefore, I went to the common TV room where a Jerry Springer program was on the TV which is not even good for a Believer to watch and I sat down there watching the unbelievers. While there watching, a colleague came to informed me that that this program is not good for me to watch. You know my response? I replied him what is your business? For the second time the same guy still came back about few minutes to warn me and asked me to stop watching it. At this time I bluntly ignored him. Then I didn’t know that God used him to warn me. As soon as he left my sickness got worst.

Since I couldn‘t listen to him then my sickness forced me to my cabin. At my cabin the sickness got more severed and I was helpless on the bed until I passed away . At this time that I died I  find myself at my home in Warri.  I was with My wife and my little daughter. I tried to carry my baby girl but was unable to do so. I was talking to my lovely wife but she couldn’t hear me any more. I started crying. Since my wife couldn’t hear me even when I was telling the cause of my death, I was regretting this is how I miss HEAVEN.
I was just there looking at my wife and my Little Daughter who were not seeing me and I was just crying in pain.

Suddenly I heard a very fainting Voice that say to me ‘you can still make it back to life’. I told GOD that if only HE can bring me back to life that I will stand before two Churches in Port Harcourt and Warri to confess my sins which will end with rolling on the floor with water. Immediately saying this Lo and behold I gained my Life back.

I did exactly what I promised the LORD in both Port Harcourt and Warri.  I was delighted that GOD forgave me and the confession made most congregation crying towards repentance of their holding guilt in Port Harcourt. In Warri, the Pastor told me that God has ministered to him that HE has forgiven me and that I should go and win souls for HIM.

I guess you can now answer my question at the early reading of this script. ‘The most painful thing in life’. It is death without CHRIST.

Brethren, I feel real life joy, boldness and confidence in the LORD now. HE gave me sufficient grace to do the work of the ministry.

I believe this script has given you insight of the trauma in life without CHRIST. 
How is your relationship with GOD? Are you still living your life the way you want it? JESUS LOVES you even till now. HE is calling you to deliver you from the pit of HELL. It is a wise decision to accept and embrace HIM.
Brethren H E A V E N  to all of us! This is my earnest desire.

You will be spiritually nourished and will ever remain uphold in God's love for visiting richly package information on DIVINE REVELATION

Love you all readers and stay blessed

For taking your time to study remain blessed. August Tuesday 27th TOPIC: CORRECT WATER BAPTISM TEXT: Mark 16:15-16 KEY VERSE: Matthew 28:19 Go ye therefore, and teach all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Ghost. The believer requires water baptism. The baptism that Jesus commanded is in the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Ghost. It is done by immersion in water because the three Persons are One. In Acts of the Apostles, the people were baptizing in the name of Jesus. They used the phrase “in the name of Jesus” to indicate that the baptism was carried out as authorized by Jesus, and the baptism authorized by Jesus is that which is done in the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Ghost. It is not to say that they dip people in water and say, “I baptize you in the name of Jesus.” The name of Jesus cannot represent the Godhead. The Father is not Jesus, the Holy Spirit is not Jesus, Jesus is God who be
