Pastor Chris Oyakhilome reveals his teenage experience!
Teenage experience is sometimes difficult for advanced adults to recount especially when there's an atom of regret in it. But if there are positive lessons to learn, such experience would easily be shared for others to learn and apply to their lives to justify the popular saying that "experience is the best teacher."
I guess there are diverse experiences you've encountered and you'd want many young people to learn from but let's see what the President of LoveWorld Inc., a dynamic, multifaceted, global ministry, Pastor Chris Oyakhilome has revealed and wants us to learn from his teenage experience.
In one of his sermons titled 'USE WHAT HE GAVE YOU' through one of his publications, he said he learnt very early as a young Christian, how to put the Word of God to work as he had wanted to deal with issues and situations right away, using the Word.
In his own words, "back then, if I mistakenly dashed my foot against something, I'd immediately place my hand on it and say, "Heal, in Jesus' Name!" I was learning to use authority. I might still experience some pain, but I found out I had no swelling, I knew it was supposed to swell. Instead of getting worse, it quickly got back to normal! If it was a cut and it was bleeding, I'd say, "Seal up, in Jesus' Name! No bleeding!" and I continued with whatever I was doing." This is unbelievable! But can a man of prestige as he is frame up lies to suit his interest?
He continued recounting, "I remember one night, as a teenager, after an encounter with juju priests and their shrines, while sleeping, I felt some weight on me pressing on me; it was a spiritual attack; the only time I ever experienced such. I found myself struggling to call the Name of Jesus, but I couldn't even open my mouth. I finally got that figure off me, as I called out, "Jesus!" Then I went straight on my knees and said, "You devil, in the Name of Jesus, you'd never repeat this; and wherever you are, I bind you, in the Name of Jesus! Never again!" From that day till now, it never happened again, and never will. Glory to God!
He leaves us with these words to ponder on, "Use what you have. Use the name name of Jesus. Otherwise, the devil will prey on you. Use that name to change the atmosphere in your home; use it to change the state of your business, career and every other thing that concerns you. Reign and rule over circumstances in His Name. Hallelujah!" Amen!
