TOPIC: TRUTH BRINGS CONVICTION TO HARDENED SINNERS 

TEXT: JOHN 16: 7-14

TUESDAY JULY 5

KEY VERSE: John 16:8 And when he comes, he will reprove the world of sin, and of righteousness, and judgment: 

My name is Overcomer Okiti from Nyanya Zone in Abuja. In 2017, I worked in a garage in Wuse 2, Abuja, as a tout or ‘agbero’ with the National Union of Road Transport Workers (NURTW). One day as I was smoking and drinking in the garage, preparing for the operation, a man requested to speak to me. I asked him, “What is the matter?” He replied with his question, “Do you know that God loves you?” I became upset and retorted, “Oh! These people have started again! You are all the same. Don’t preach to me.” He calmly replied, “No there is a difference.” I challenged him, “What is the difference? I have attended several churches but they are all the same. I don’t want to go to church again.” He said, “No, there is something God wants to do in your life” 

As I was resisting him, the union leader that gave me the identity card of NURTW told me not to waste my time listening to that man but I heard a voice urging me to listen to him, so I listened. He preached and told me clearly that the life I was living and the work I was doing will lead me to hell. I was surprised because that was the first time any person would boldly tell me the truth but I wondered how the work I was doing for a living would take me to hell. He explained things to me and encouraged me to surrender my life to God. He then invited me to a program which was a month-long chapter prayer vigil. I had never heard of HOREMOW so he said it was a non-denominational Movement.

After listening to him, I began to ponder over these things in my mind. I later attended the vigil and heard a life-changing message about hell fire preached by Sister Linda Paul Rika. I realized that both my family members and I were all lost and on our way to hell. Later, I watched ‘Life cry from hell’ and my heart began to beat very fast as I trembled in fear.  Throughout that week I could not regain myself fully. I was very weak and kept on thinking about God's judgment in hell. (To be continued)

Thought for the day: The undying message from hell has won very many souls.

Song for the day:  Somebody touched me (2x), Somebody touched my soul…
