I was a serial thief who used to brag about my cunning ways. I never thought that one day I would end up behind
bars. I was convicted of fraud and theft. I never imagined that one day I would be standing in front of people
confessing my misdeeds and testifying how good the Lord is. When I came to prison I thought the curtain had closed
for me and that I had come to the end of everything. Little did I know that it was an unfolding step in a new
direction.
During my early days in prison, I was bitter with myself and the people who had caused me to be in this situation. I
spent a lot of sleepless nights, tears flowing down my cheeks. One day a chaplain came preaching. I listened to the
gospel and discovered that everything that was said on that day was pointing to me, and I received the Lord Jesus as
my Lord and saviour. From that day I came to have peace in my life. Truly, I started to see what I had been missing.
Indeed, there is great joy in knowing the Lord.
When Pastor Chiramba came and introduced NBI, I took up the studies gladly and with all my heart. I was greatly
helped by all the modules. I learnt Christian work and how to build a ministry. The subjects that helped me most
were about the Holy Spirit and giving. I learnt that the Holy Spirit is God. He has all the attributes of God and He is
very active in this dispensation and time. I am praying hard to operate in all the spiritual gifts, just like the Apostle
Paul. As for the fruits of the Holy Spirit, all the people who used to know me before I was incarcerated will testify to
this effect.
To those who haven’t received the Lord, I say, ‘Why are you waiting? Just taste and see how good the Lord is.’
