My Life And God. True life story by Joseph Osei Oppong Brenya

I was very happy when a friend said to me "Joseph this Sunday lets go to the house of GOD" I heard that name when I was a kid growing up.

my grandmother and my kindred with other people say "he is omnipotent,  omnipresent,  merciful and great" I have grown and can understand why these appellations were given to him.

Growing up, I was a very  curious boy ready to experiment with life

I developed the penchant to know more about this God that I have done a lot of study about.

Whiles  in my study and journey of life, I went through some turbulence and striangulations, in 2010, 2011, 2012 and 20013,

I was raised by just a mother,  in a Christian home where purity was a demand.

Somewhere I went off track in this journey of life. I use to see myself too Holy to extend that I will do something bad and even  think I didn't do it. At a time,  I thought something different is operating my actions with no power to curb it.

In the years i mentioned above, i went through some challenges in this country, almost all these things were in the media, very bad ones that tarnished my image and that of my comrades.

I made some mistakes as a young man, I basked in the adulation of being able to make it life on my own. I was very desperate to make it in life but the retribution was to heavy for simple mistakes men growing up make.

Friends left, love ones left. I was empty and contemplated many things to end it all.

Almost everybody believed this stories concocted by the devil and operated by evil  in human form. I lost everything!
As a young man growing up, I lost my credibility and hope to rise up from the ashes of despair.

My life is a true testimony of the existence of God.

The topic on what really happened and what I lost is a topic to be discuss in a different write up.  At a very good time all will be put into black and white

In my secular thinking I never attributed to his influence and mechinations in my strength to overcome these challenges. 

I been hearing chilling stories by people who went through worse situations and overpowered them attributing their victory to this GOD.

I was confused, that how can someone you can't see, help you out in things that are physical?  I decided to venture into the spirituality of the GOD I heard of growing up.

I realized there is a supernatural being who has control over everything and things work at his command. He enthroned and dethrone kings.

He lifts the downtrodden to the high table of kings. He provides for the poor and them that know him well even in difficult times, they are like a man running but never get tied.

Due to want I went through,  I have had experience with evil and I can tell if evil is at work.  I may be exhibiting certain things which you don't understand but bare with me because am trying to get back on track.

Today I feel a deep sense of peace, God is reminding me of what he told me years ago, that he will provide all I need to remain faithful to him.

David said "i will sing of the mercies of the Lord forever". He realized where the Lord took him from, how far he has brought him as a Shepherd boy. How many of you here, can stand up and say is by your strength, is by your wisdom, or by your might, how smart you that you are here right now. if not for God's mercies, if not for God's grace!!

God is real, let us develop the courage of caleb in our times of problems.

when people were pessimistic. 
They say "we have seen the land, is beautiful,  horney flows on it BUT is occupied by gentals"

Caleb said, "all they say about the land is true, let us rise quickly and go take the land, for we can defeat them"

Today rise from your slumber and face the turbulence for you can defeat it.

whiles i was typing this on phone this dawn, I felt to visit the wash room, in attempt to get water to flash the DWC (because my can not flash) my phone feel in a bucket of water, I quickly took it out and is still working. This means God want me to put this out there to change someone, to let all those I have offended understand my situation and forgive me.
