I am a Nigerian currently living in Yaoundé, Cameroon.
I got to know about God’s Lighthouse through the BeingReal George YouTube channel in 2021, from a video he posted featuring Pastor Ita Udoh speaking on Zion vs. Babylon. At that time, I was deep in sin and a follower of false doctrine.
For context: after I had completed a 7-year apprenticeship under my master, from whom I learnt the business I now run, I was settled by him in August 2021. Upon returning to Cameroon, I went to stay and work with a relative of my master who owned a restaurant.
Some months into my stay there, the man travelled, and his wife approached me to start an immoral relationship with her. I agreed, and this continued consistently, even when her husband was around.
Many times, my heart knew no peace, as my conscience would judge me severely. Shortly after, I had a random conversation with her husband, who I believe is a Christian. All of a sudden, during the conversation, he started referring to the scripture and said, “Whoever is touching and sleeping with another man’s wife will not escape God’s judgment.” He went on to place curses on such people. At that point, my heart became heavy, and I confessed to him that I was guilty of what he was saying, though I didn’t tell him it was with his wife.
He later told his wife what I said, not knowing that she was the very person I was involved with.
Eventually, because of how guilty I felt, I left the man’s house and rented my own apartment.
After some months in the new place, I fell into sexual immorality with another lady. I remember going on a three-day fast, asking God to help me overcome fornication. But on the third day, the lady came to visit, and I fell again.
This continued until the day I listened to a sermon by Pastor Ita Udoh, where he said, “If the place you are living in causes you to sin, leave the place.” At that point, the Holy Spirit started convicting me again, and I knew I had to act.
Even though I had one month of rent left, I left that accommodation and went to live in the living room of a family man I had once served under. It was a two-room apartment. My obedience to the instruction in that message marked the beginning of my deliverance from immorality.
In addition to that, I became more consistent with church meetings, continued listening to more messages from the house and began receiving counsel from my discipler, who was assigned to help me grow spiritually. All these worked together to help me overcome sexual immorality.
So I can boldly say that from March 2023 until now, God has helped me overcome fornication and remain consistent in seeking Him. For this, I am deeply grateful to Him, and I say may His name be praised. Amen.
