Life as they say could be rosy when you are born with a silver spoon ,but Mark wished his parent lasted long enough for him to savor that......I was puffed up..
Born in 1981,I can trace my roots ,I am the only son in a sequence of four children, completely orphaned before my tenth birthday. Growing up outside the cosy confines of being born into wealth was the least any child of my antecedence would dream of.being exposed to the harsh severities of living outside the auspices of one's biological parent, as such,life was tough by every stretch of the word;as we were passed from hands of one relative to another, but God was faithful in every ways.
From my tender age as a child, my parent were nominal christians,who took us to church on Sundays and observed Easter and Christmas as every pseudo Christian does,but with a clueless objective of what it meant to be born again. I struggled through school, endured a torrid time footing the bills if my education from the remnants of what I eked out from a living; after catering for my siblings and off course myself. However ,God's grace was sufficient throughout my primary, secondary, up to high school .
I went to professional course where I graduated as a chartered accountant in London. I worked as a part time lecturer in ekiti state polytechnics .later moved to American to worked for America multinational company.here I rose to serior manager and I had everything going for me from allotted cars to international trips to the UK ,US and other countries. Money now worked for me and not me working for money.
Having endured living with so much to be desired ,I came to a new Lifestyle that" it time to spread my wings, since I now had the breath of fresh air." I joined a group of friends who were habitual womchurch.s,alcoholics and night clubbers well known in town..by this time I had forgotten about church and God,and I was grossly enslaved by drinking which I perfected when I graduated from tippling liquors to spirits ,and would dissipate my Sundays in drinking bouts with my friends to test our abilities to consumed large quantities of gins and lime without staggering. During this period I had no satisfaction in life and I was getting older with no prospect of marriage.
One day ,I met a young lady my neighbor who saw me as a Playboy. She invited me to church.the pastor spoke with so much conviction to my disgust, I was vexed because he spoke the truth without apologies to the caliber of person he was talking to..I thought to myself "how can he threatened me with such emphatic word like hell and death?" I found my strength diminished. Gradually I found my resistance deserted me. As I yielded to salvation call.from then I life charged.
I began to lose interest in the things that gave me excitement:Drinking ,worldly music and girlfriends..I was tempted many times but my conviction in Christ was powerful.I was now in new creature,with newly established values of praying and reading the bible.speaking in tongues..
Today I am married with two boys and two girls. I am also highly blessed that even the blessed called me blessed... God has enlarge me.I am happy. Thank you God in Jesus name.Amen...U must be born again..Jesus is lord...........
