Testimonies

I gave my heart to Jesus at nine years of age because of my mom. God blessed me tremendously throughout my life in so many ways. However, as I grew up, I gradually grew away from Him. For some reason, I thought I was right with Him until life happened, and I ended up in a very dark place.

I was at my lowest and hit rock bottom spiritually. The enemy attacked me from all corners of my life and sowed guilt, shame, and condemnation in me. I was depressed, and the enemy gave me thoughts of suicide and how to execute it.

My wife and I were on the brink of divorce, and everything looked like it was going downhill with no point of return. I longed to have another baby with my wife, which looked impossible, but the Lord led me to hold on no matter how difficult the attack on my life was. I called out to Jesus at my lowest point, and He surely reached out to me. He restored me and all things in my life. Where sin increased, grace superabounded (Romans 5:20–21).

The Lord spoke restoration over me in an encounter one morning. I was awakened by His voice, which I felt in my spirit. His voice quickened me as if I was resuscitated from death itself. He led me to start listening to Pastor Prince on YouTube. I listened to sermons on restoration and meditated on many of Pastor Prince’s teachings, especially how we’re the righteousness of God in Christ. Pastor Joseph Prince was a colossal help in my walk with Christ. I got hold of his book The Prayer of Protection Devotional and read it twice.

Jesus brought me closer to the Father. I died in the flesh but was made alive in the Spirit (1 Peter 3:18). I’ve been set free from an alcohol addiction, smoking cigarettes, and pornography. While journeying with Jesus, He showed me how He was with me throughout the struggles in my life and how He had kept me from harm. He was by my side, holding me while I was feeling the heavy weight of all the hurt and depression in my life at the time.

Today, my marriage has been restored, and we have been blessed by the birth of our beautiful baby boy. Our baby boy is the manifestation of the Lord’s restoration in my life. I truly believe that, so I dedicated him to the Lord. I’ve even been set free from the fear of driving a vehicle by meditating on scriptures. I’m also in the process of being set free financially.

I could write a book just on the two-year walk I had with my Lord. By His grace, I am a new creation. Thank You, Jesus, and I’m thankful He led me to Pastor Prince and his Christ-centred teachings. May God continue to bless Pastor Prince, his family, and his church. All glory to God!

When I was young, I began drinking alcohol believing it was safer than using drugs. This continued for 10 years, and I became addicted. Eventually, I realised this addiction was also as dangerous as any other drug addiction.

During those 10 years, I couldn’t maintain a job. I lost my relationships with my family, friends, and even my connection with God. I would pray, but it was mere mindless babble.

One day, I went for a drink with a few friends. After they left, I continued drinking by myself and became so drunk that I fell asleep on a void deck, surrounded by my own vomit with my valuables lying all over the ground. The following week, a similar incident happened where I nearly lost my life. That’s when I suddenly developed a fear of losing my life to alcohol. I went home with a heavy heart and a sense of loss.

The following Sunday, I tuned in to New Creation Church’s online service where Pastor Prince preached a message about asking God for wisdom, and making it a priority in everything we do.

I listened intently to the sermon and told myself that the countless stints in incarceration and rehabs wouldn’t help me, but Jesus would.

I cried and called out to God, asking Him to give me wisdom and to guide me, His lost sheep, back to Him.

Since then, things started to change. I am now sober and I read the Bible and pray regularly. I haven't needed to take any medical leave from work, and I’ve rebuilt my relationships with friends and family, and most importantly with Jesus!

In addition, I no longer live in fear. I'd like to thank God for all He has done. Even my counsellors and friends were shocked at how I, a once raging addict and alcoholic, could change just like that. I give all the praise to our heavenly Father. Thank you, Pastor Prince, for your amazing ministry!

I am 66 years of age. About 20 years ago, I was diagnosed with ulcerative colitis, which is inflammation of the colon.

In the beginning, during flare-ups, I was in a lot of pain and had to take a steroid for the inflammation. These flare-ups would occur two or three times a year. There is no cure, and ulcerative colitis doesn’t go away on its own. I was also told I needed a colonoscopy every year.

Then, about 10 years ago, my wife and I were introduced to Pastor Prince and his teachings on the gospel of grace and the truth behind receiving the holy Communion. My wife and I began receiving the Communion almost daily. Little by little, my colon got better, and my doctor scheduled a colonoscopy every two years, then every three years.

Well, just recently, after 10 years of receiving the Communion almost daily, I had a colonoscopy, and the result was that my colon is completely normal, and I don’t have to have another colonoscopy for five years. My doctor was shocked at how clean and normal my colon was! God healed me through the receiving of the Communion. The ulcerative colitis I had for the past 20 years is completely gone by the regular receiving of the Communion over the last 10 years. Hallelujah!

Thank You, Jesus, and thank you, Pastor Prince, for sharing the gospel of grace and teaching the truth behind the holy Communion—that by His stripes we are healed!

In 2019, my marriage was falling apart. I was pregnant, and my husband got retrenched from work. My husband felt hurt by the church we were fellowshipping in and attended church less than four times that year.

I continued going to church with the children, and my husband felt betrayed. That added to the strain on our marriage. By the end of 2019, we were unofficially separated as I moved back to live with my parents, and he lived by himself.

By the time COVID-19 hit our country in March, I had moved back to our marital home, even though we were not necessarily on good speaking terms. I started streaming the messages from Pastor Prince, and this further upset my husband.

Things got so bad that by the end of 2021, my husband and I were not on good terms. Our financial situation wasn’t good either. By 2022, my husband moved out of the house, and we were headed for a divorce.

I remember Pastor Prince preached a couple of messages on the four horsemen. After listening to those messages, I decided to go back to church. My husband wanted to reunite, and to the glory of God, I got a new job and also an increase in my salary in the year of rest and acceleration. This eased the financial strain.

My husband and I are now reunited and going to church together with the children. God kept us through the darkest times as a family, and we continue to trust Him to show His goodness. All glory to God. Thank You, Jesus.

I was arrested for robbery and murder at the age of 22 while in university. I spent more than 24 years in prison, 15 of which was on death row, condemned to die.

Life in prison was hard, and I was full of regret, shame, fear, and condemnation. I searched for God and did all I could to earn His favour, but things only got worse, and I had no joy.

While on death row, a fellow inmate introduced me to Pastor Joseph Prince’s sermons on television. Since then, my life has changed forever. I learned what religion doesn’t teach—that my sins have been forgiven in the past, present, and future! This brought me real freedom and joy while in prison.

I was released after having my sentence reduced in March 2019. I got married and have two lovely young boys with whom the Lord has blessed me. He has indeed blessed me, and I am not only able to look after my family, but I am also running a project to help ex-inmates reintegrate into society.

God is in the process of restoring what the locusts have eaten, and I truly want to be a blessing to others. Thank you, Pastor Prince. May God abundantly bless your ministry.
