I was born into a Muslim family and raised up a nominal Muslim. I grew up believing Christianity is just an alternative religion to Islam. Sometime in 1999, in Lagos, Nigeria, I was invited to a church – Redeem Christian Church Of God - by a female friend. While in the church I heard the gospel preached to me and was deeply moved by the words I heard. I responded to the alter call made by the preacher and was told am now born again.
After my initial encounter I did not attend any church service at the church where I got born again despite numerous follow up attempts by the church members. I continued to live my normal life almost forgetting my experience at the church, however once in a while I still attend church services randomly at different churches if invited by friends. It was about a year later in 2000, that I decided to attend a church next door to where I live at that time in Lagos, Nigeria. I remember how I felt strange, and ashamed carrying a bible to church on that day.
Since the day I attended the church next to my place of domicile at that time in Lagos, Nigeria, I have been a regular church goer. I became a member of the church – Jesus the Answer Mission. I got baptized and attended the church bible school. I became a committed member of the church until I travelled out of the country to London, United Kingdom in 2002. While in London, I started to backslide and almost denounced my faith in Christ. I had so many questions still unanswered and was beginning to see Christianity as another religion. It was at this point I received a visitor from Nigeria, sometime in 2003, and my visitor gave me a recorded sermon by Pastor Chris Oyakhilome, of Christ Embassy Church. When I listened to the taped message, I received answers to some of the questions that I have been asking as I read the bible.
