While teaching two NewLife Behavior lessons to 59 young people, a few of the young ladies were moved to share their stories with the entire class.
“I want to thank you for this kind of teaching because it has set me free the bondage of the devil. In my family, I am the heiress (spirits leader) of our family spirits. Although I have been a Christian for two years, I was not allowed to take off the bangle on my wrist that shows that I am the spirits leader. I have been obedient but today I fully surrender by life to Christ." With great joy on her face and confidence in Christ, she removed the bangle from her hand and handed it over to church minister. The church was greatly moved at her testimony and we invited her in front and prayed for her.
A young married woman, a mother of two children, gave her testimony. She quickly stood up before the entire class. With a smile on her face, she said, “I was a no go zone woman; I could fight with anyone. This could be with the sisters-in-law, neighbors, or even men. I did not care as long as I was angered. I have been moved by today’s teaching; this teaching was intended for me. I am challenged to live a new life. Thank you.”
At the conclusion of the seminar, we rejoiced because one young woman gave her life to Christ in baptism.
