TESTIMONY: Burned By The World, Bought By Christ

This day of beautiful remarks got my mind back to my life’s past marks, created and plastered by the world’s ever-burning furnace which was more of an incinerator and forest’s fire. It did to me nothing pleasant but burned me up, and down to earth it consumed the golden virtues placed in me before my arrival upon this globe of sheer evil!

The intentions of the Father towards me have always been colourful, devil in the skin of men _(known facially and from distance via various media)_ got at me to pile upon my glittering star and blazing gold the impurities of the world’s wisdom, which to my makeup was nothing but foolishness appearing pleasant for the sake of aiding the wicked man’s intention into seeable inventions. He is indeed an inventor of vanities and miseries.

I’m Samuel O. ABIDOYE, born a saviour like every other human but got ravaged, scourged and turned into a ruthless ‘savage’; thorn in the flesh of sane men. Honestly, it isn’t enough to assume that son, daughter, friend, brother, sister or parent of yours is walking through the same pathway as Kingdom’s knights, there is a need for you to ascertain so as not to permit assumption the clothing of reality.

What I was assumed to be while growing up wasn’t what I actually was. The midst of those in which they thought was my refining fire and branding furnace was actually the plane through which I was piloted to the world of insane men where my mind got initiated into what I detested and my hands started experimenting the things I hated, I became lost in the world yet seen in the church; my royal apparel was rubbished, I lost sight of my crown, so ignorant of my identity, the sense of my reality was slapped out of me and I mourned what I had, thinking I had lost it.

Although I was acting outside the Kingdom’s lifestyle but I knew my heart was tied to a throne above for I was always down on my knees, lost in my thoughts, drenched in my tears and praying dangers via my lips. I wanted to live right, but wrong life became not just a hobby but a life. Something I so much hated and opposed in the beginning, now became what I was a boss and genius at, dark genius. I hadn’t lost it but I thought I had. That subtle crap, devil, piled upon the gold in me earth of pollutants and defilements, and that formed my perspective of lost.

I struggled against innumerable hardships in my mind, my heart felt shattered and broken for it shed hot tears, words that cannot be spoken. What did I not settle for? I read books, I became an online scavenger as I passionately search for pieces that will halt my miseries; still, I wasn’t getting any better. From teen age, passionately committed to activities, I was made to serve under great capacities with my numerous spiritual infirmities. Little did I know that there were eyes of a man up there looking upon me in pity borne out of love so dear, He saw my struggle, wanted to help but couldn’t because I wasn’t toeing towards his path, rather I followed a path that was so much customized that it looked like His.

Jesus kept chasing after me, He caught up with me and took me through the reality of His life in the world, on the cross, in the grave and on the throne. It was then I realised who I was, I felt a love so dear, my chains were removed and like a Son I walked down the aisle of royalty with my robe of purity, then I saw the beauty in me. Born a saviour, a knight of the Kingdom, I forgot. Light shone however and the devil’s piled up impurities were unearthed and then Identity was recovered and reality discovered. My gaze was refixed, rest relived in my soul and now I could follow through for a gift was given as He resurrected, a companion and journey mate.

It’s my life | My Journey | My Testimony

He is risen.        I’m risen.        Are you?

Yours indeed, seated with Him on the throne, by the Father’s right Hand
