May 10th 2008 I was out drinking at a night club when I was placed on a DUI van to take me home. This van failed at finding
my home so dropped me off a few streets away from it. While trying to walk to my home I was hit and ran over by a car. This
broke every bone in my face, ripped my left ear off the side of my head, cracked my skull and gave me a TBI. I do not remember
anything from my 3 month stay in the hospital after words. I was told some time after I got back home of a preacher who came
daily and prayed with me. I know for a fact had I or the many others who did prayed I'd be in hell right now. Dr. God heals all
that to me is a pure fact now.

Thanks be to the GOD of Abraham, GOD of Isaac, GOD of Israel and my GOD who is
the creator and possessor of the whole world and everything on and in it.
I thank GOD so much for if it had not been for HIS mercy upon my life, I would
have been dead and buried since the year 2004. ( my record can be traced at
sakumono community hospital).
Even though I was brought up in a highly religious Christian family, I ignored
all the moral and spiritual upbringing and followed the patterns of this fading
out sinful world. Both my late grandfathers were pastors in the E.P. Church. I
owe lot of gratitude to my parents and late grandmothers and grandfather who
ensured that I attended Church every Sunday.
I started drinking alcohol seriously somewhere in the final year at secondary
school and had my first sexual intercourse also in the final year.
My alcohol intake increased through my polytechnic education and I had
girlfriends also.
I was posted to the Afram Plains for my national service and I continued
drinking and sometimes could drink from morning till late night .I had girls
there as well.
After my service, I came to work in Accra and when I rented my own room
somewhere in the year 2003 at Lashibi, I continued drinking heavily and
womanizing as well. I could remember drinking every evening after work with an
elderly co tenant of mine and other friends around. As for weekends, it was
always a celebration provided I had money. I would invite my friends and we
would cook and drink heavily.
I ignored Church completely and used Sunday mornings for drinking.
In the early part of the year 2004, my co tenant whom I used to drink with
died. I was with him at home when he requested from another female co tenant to
send to his daughter. His daughter arrived a day or two later. On the said day
even before she arrived, he told me he was not feeling well as he sat outside to
wash his clothes. He was toileting frequently and was very weak. My elderly
friend leaned on me as I walked him to the taxi when his daughter arrived to be
taken to the hospital.
In the evening, news came that before they got to the sakumono community
hospital, he passed away so was sent to the Tema general hospital mortuary.
Before this incident, I had lost two very close childhood friends to death whom
whom I used to drink with.
Few months after my elderly co tenant friend died, I invited a lady who spent
the night with me. When she arrived in the evening, I went out and got drank,
could not even eat any proper food, slept with this lady, and we both slept. At
dawn the following day, I woke up and realised I was still very intoxicated,
could not breathe properly, very weak and restless. I came out of my room, and
lied down outside for fresh air and yet still I was very much restless and
sweating. All this while, the lady was inside and did not know that I was dying
outside as I could not even go in to tell her my condition. I was very weak.
In the morning, I called my elder brother on phone and he came in quickly with a
cousin and both took me to the sakumono community hospital. When we arrived, I
was still sweating, shaking, my heart beating abnormally and weak. My blood was
taken at the lab and I was admitted. All these while, I had to be forcing myself
tirelessly to breathe. Infact, I was really suffering and dying. I realised
even thou I was suffering, I was not being attended to by the nurses or the
doctor. The doctor may have taught in his mind I would not survive so left me to
my fate. Not even a drip was put on me. My elder brother was just sitting
sorrowfully by me watching. The painful part was that I could not even fall
asleep so my work was to be forcing myself to breathe because the moment I
stopped forcing, I would just die. I was very close to death. I later went into
sleep.
I woke up later in the night before the nurses came and put drip on me after I
guess they realised I did not die. It was a great miracle I survived which no
one can explain in human terms. I was discharged after few days and returned
home.
I was so grateful to GOD for saving me because if I had died, I would have died
in sin and the punishment for unrepentant sin we know is eternal damnation.
After my discharge, I went to the challenge bookshop on 6th October 2004 to buy
a Holy Bible which I keep till date. I also went to E.P. Church at Lashibi to
give thanks to GOD. I was part of the new comers who introduced themselves. In
my introduction, I told the congregation how GOD healed me from a heart
condition and I was prayed for and became a member of the Church.
I did not quit drinking all at once after my near death experience as I was
addicted to drinking and the drinking had taken hold of me. I stopped drinking
local akpeteshi and changed to alomo, agya appiah drinks.
It happened that few months after, I was in my room when I became sick again
seriously just like the first experience. I was alone so I walked slowly to the
roadside and stopped a taxi. I told the driver to take me to the hospital but
first I told him to pass my friend Simons house who accompanied me to the Tema
general hospital.
I was admitted, and it seems I was discharged the following day or two. My
aunties visited me on my sick bed and advised me.
The alcohol was having a great deal with my body systems and even when I did not
drink, it was like I drank. I realised the alcohol had really affected my
systems badly.
At another point in time, I fell sick and went again to the Tema general
hospital with a friend called Godwin. I had to force myself to be vomiting just
to feel comfortable a bit. While at the hospital waiting to be attended to by a
doctor, I realised I was having shortage of breathe and was dying so I went to a
nurse in the ward near the O.P.D. and told her about my condition. She brought
the oxygen machine to fix on my nose. I was so scared I told her I was going to
vomit and come but never returned to her again for the oxygen.
I was admitted and once again for the third time miraculously, I was discharged
to go home and not discharged to the morgue.
My deliverance from alcohol and womanizing went through a gradual process as the
spirit of drunkenness and fornication wage war against me not wanting to free
me so at a point I would have the strong urge to drink and not to drink.
I started reading my Bible regularly, attending Church, praying and sometimes I
fasted. My alcohol intake reduced drastically later in the year 2006 as I
remember drinking stone and beer sometimes.
GOD being so good I had a change of job in September 2006. I had to go for
training for some months and if I was found fit before my appointment could be
confirmed. As I was determined to get this job, I started going for dawn
trotting even before I got to the training ground. I realised the effects of the
alcohol as I had to struggle to trot for just ten minutes continually and if I
do, I would be panting with difficulty. I continued gradually and with time I
increased the pace and was quiet doing well.
I went for the training and by the grace and strength of GOD, I went through all
the training drills and was even ahead of so many others in physical drills
including steeple chase, morning road runs, battle P.T, endurance walt and
others and I was among the first ten best trainees in academics.
I could not have done all this without the healing, mercy and strength of GOD
Almighty.
There is one event worth mentioning whiles at training camp. Few days after we
started our training course, I had a bite from something I did not notice and
did not take it seriously. I just mentioned it lightly to our course father.
After about three days after the bite in the evening, I realised all of a
sudden that I was dying while in bed. I had shortage of breathe, difficulty in
breathing and became weak. I reported to the course father who sent me to one of
our instructors who also called the nurse and I was admitted at the academy
infirmary. I was given drip upon drip and my colleagues were called in to come
and see what was happening to me. When the nurse realised I was not responding
to treatment and just dying, he quickly called in the adjutant and both conveyed
me to the Ho regional hospital where I was admitted. On the way to the hospital,
I heard them saying i may not survive especially if it was a snake bite. With
GOD nothing is impossible. I was treated and the following morning, I woke up
from my bed and walked outside just to make sure I was alright. I was later
discharged and most of my colleagues were surprised to see me back because what
they witnessed the previous night was terrible.
GOD always on my side, I successfully passed out and recovered fully from my
addiction. With the help of GOD, I finally quit drinking alcohol and quit
womanising completely and was re baptised by the district pastor of the
Nungua Pentecost Church in the sea at Teshie after I confess all my sins to GOD
and the pastor. I wanted to start a new life all together thus to be Born Again
as commanded by JESUS CHRIST and taking in account Mark 16:16.
Am very happy GOD has helped me and as from January 2008 till date, I have never
tasted any alcoholic drink. I also stopped all other forms of sin. GOD has
removed the spirit of sin from me and sealed me with the blood of JESUS so those
foul and evil spirits dont return again and as am now born of GOD, it is now
impossible for me to sin because those born of GOD dont sin and am no longer a
slave to sin. (Romans 6: 1 23 ).
I am no longer of this world but am just in it waiting patiently for the coming
of our LORD JESUS CHRIST. Even if I should die before HIS coming, am delighted
because when the believer, the saved died, he or she departs this world to be
with CHRIST till the day of the LORD so whether I live or die, am the LORDS.
We need to pray every day committing each day into the hand of GOD to direct us
so we dont sin against HIM because if we lose guard, the devil will try to tempt
us. When you have the Spirit of GOD in you, You will realise that any time you
sin, you will be so much uncomfortable with yourself and regretting the sin.
Please anytime you have this feeling, pray over the sin by fasting, and asking
GOD to help you never to repeat the sin again. As much as we try not to commit
sin, sin may come our way but when it unfortunately happens, do not remain in
it. Get out of it and thats the difference between you and the unsaved. The
reason why it happens is because your new resurrected soul which is saves still
lives in the unsaved body. The body will be saved on the day CHRIST returns when
we the saved shall be given a Glorious body.
The dying of the body is as a result of the fall of mankind when Adams and Eve
sinned. When CHRIST comes, all who lived on this earth will be resurrected and
all who have done good and are saved will rise and live those who have done evil
and are unsaved will also rise but to be condemned. If you die in your sin
without accepting JESUS CHRIST as your LORD and Saviour and repent of all your
sins, you will go to hell. This world is passing away with its pleasures and
will end one day so the time to repent, accept CHRIST and quit all bad habits is
now. Even if the world does not end very soon, you may die and depart from the
world because no one knows when he or she will die. Many people die every day in
this world through accidents, diseases, armed robbery, murder, sicknesses, etc.
from babies through to children, teenagers, the youth, adults to the aged. If
the world does not end on you, you may end on it. Now, when you depart this
world, where do you intend going ?. well , If you are for CHRIST, you will go
and be with HIM. If not, you will be in torments.
If you are living in sin, it means you are spiritually dead, you are living in
darkness, you are a slave of sin, you are lost and you are a child of satan. The
last result of unrepentant sinful life here on earth is death. ( Revelation
21:8 ).
Finally, I wish to entreat you all to take the gospel of JESUS CHRIST seriously
by accepting HIM, reading and obeying all that HIS words say in the Holy Bible,
Love GOD and love your neighbour as yourself. I learnt my lessons the hard way
as I came very close to death and I would not like you to go through such a
terrible experience because you may not be lucky to survive. Maybe GOD saved my
life just to use my experience in saving your life so you dont need to go
through my kind of experience. If you have ever come very close to death, you
will understand why am pleading with you to accept CHRIST now.
If you have already accepted CHRIST, keep on obeying HIS words and keep the
faith till death and HE will give you the crown of life. Let us not only
concentrate on the donts that the Bible teaches but also lets act on the dos. Eg.
giving to orphans, the poor, widows in distress, helping others, visiting the
sick etc (Matthew 25:31-46, James 1: 27).
I want to boldly tell you that there is no sickness or disease whether old or
new that is impossible for the LORD JESUS to heal. If only you repent and
believe that HE can cure you, healing shall be yours.
Again on Saturday the 19th of September 2009, I was on duty at Gwollu when in
the evening I started feeling pains in my stomach so I was sent to the hospital
by a colleague named Kadri. I was detained at the Gwollu hospital and at about
10pm, I started feeling really bad with difficulty in breathing, stiffness in my
hands, legs and stomach as if I was dying. Immediately I knelt down on the bed
and prayed to GOD to save my life from death. Due to my uneasiness, I was
referred to Tumu hospital that night where I was admitted and discharged on
Monday 21st September. I thank GOD for saving my physical body again from death.
GOD has been merciful to me a poor sinner.
Please be guided by the following scriptures and I pray GOD will grant you
understanding of HIS words. 1 Cor. 15:21-22, John 5:28-29, 2nd Cor. 5:10, Rom.
14:12, 2nd Thes.1:9, Eccl. 12:1-14, Ezek. 18:1-32, Daniel 12:1-13.
If I do not meet you physically on this earth, we shall definitely meet in the
kingdom of GOD where there shall be no more death, hunger, sickness, disease and
no sin.
Thank you for reading, I wish you GODS blessing in everything you do. Love,
Righteousness, Peace and Joy to you.
TO GOD BE THE GLORY. AMEN.

Dearest Lord God, dearest Lord Jesus Christ, thank You for hearing my prayers for letting the grandmother of my best friend
who has been re-hopsitalised most probably due to the growth in her lung and/or her deteriorating organs, get better. I was
told today that she was getting better and recovering. Thank You and i pray that she will recover completely as everything is
possible in You, God. Also i would want to thank for a simple prayer that has been answered too and that is for the safe arrival
of my package, as well as for the notification that it has arrived. Right after i finished my prayers, i received the notification
that my package has just arrived I shouldn't have worried or felt anxious about its arrival, nor for the probability that it could
have been lost or have something unfortunate happen to it or that i might have been cheated. Instead, i should have and now learn
that i should place my trust in the Lord. Also, thank You God and Jesus for hearing my prayers to let the person be honest too.:-)

After completing my college I stayed for seven years playing and trusting God
for a job I went to look for one in a certain
office of which after waiting for almost a whole day they later told me that they were not employing secretaries. I went home
and forgot, after about 5 months the same company called me and offered a job as an accountancy supervisor, after some time
there was rejection where I was posted, i continued trusting in God and was called back through a word of prophecy from God
through my pastor. The day I was to report to work, my son got ill, instead of going to work
I took him to hospital in very high
fever, he was treated and got healed ,the management called me and I was told if not reporting for job
I just forget it, after
some hours the same people called back and was told to pass through the office after
I finish with the doctor. I went to the
office with my kid, we talked and agreed and was told to report the following day to work, up to date
I'm working in that company
but now in the head office as personal assistance to the operations manager who also is saved. Lets continue trusting in God for
all works for good to those who trust in HIM, AMEN GOD bless you and never give up in life and prayers until you receive
your blessing.

My army reserve unit was sent to Iraq in 2003. I prayed that the Lord to
keep us there in this war. He told me to read PS. 91 that said "He that dwelleth in the secret place of the most high, shall abide under the
shadow of Almighty". And when I let him be in control His angel took charge
of every where we went all through baddaddy all over Iraq for one year
my self and the saints in the aear get up every morning and for the that
God angels guide us through that day and He did just that bless His
