HOW TIJANI KAZEEM TURNED CHRISTIAN ON CHRISTMAS!!!

There are many things about me that even amaze me, all is to agree with the fact that I am fearfully and wonderfully made, imagine a parent not sick, not having any problem deciding to leave their last born to a so called in-law, is it really because of they are tired of taking care of him or they didn't have the resources?
Not at all, it is beyond their explanation, I am treasured in their eyes but they decided to do this maybe because I am from a polygamous home(although my mother is the first wife) and you know the height of jealousy and prejudice that takes place in such a home and you should expect a woman who had lost 2 growing children to be willing to do anything to get the son in safe hands, my mom would always ask, who touched your head today, who beat you... and all those questions, God bless Iya Sadiat!! (Don't mind me, I just appreciate mother's love),

Another experience of mine that could have prompted them to release me to be taken care of by this my-in-law that I call Grandma(as in Big Mummy) was a day I got missing at the village to read that story click here


So my parents were left with no choice but to release me, anyway it was God at work, like I said, a call to destiny, so here we go, I was in Primary 3 now, doing outstandingly well in school but guess what! I was not always having time to read oh but maybe because it's primary school I just found out that I did very well, even when I missed 2 weeks lecture and just came a week before exam because I had measles, I still came first, Na God, hmm,

The journey to my conversion was initiated when I went for a retreat programme during the Christmas period, here I saw so many children like myself doing Bible recitations, singing in the choir, praying, I was really surprised as I have not seen such crowd gathered before! and then the pastors will come and preach, but before then I was a smart liar, (you can never catch me), I was always stealing meat from the pot, stealing sweet and chewing gum in the shop, quickly roll it in my tongue before Grandma or any of her children comes, one day I was caught and oh my God, they beat me, as in, they beat me (smiles, I said  "they beat me" because that is children's language, one person will beat you and you would say they beat me, maybe because of the effect of the cane and you can't imagine as a child that one person will beat you like this, it was actually one of the daughters, I love her so much now, my able nurse, but she beat me seriously, to know what I did that caused the beating click here

Anyway on hearing the minister preach salvation,  I knew I was a sinner and needed a new life, I want to be free from this bad life so I decided to surrender to Christ at that Camp, friend that was the beginning, but many more still happened, how I continued, what God did in return, little prayers I prayed as a child that God answered that made my faith to grow, how I backslided and how I was restored,follow me so that we remain connected to the latest post by clicking contact me on the blog.
