Hello Amazing Reader,<\/p>\n\n\n\n
We’ve got good news\ud83d\udc4f\ud83d\udc4f\ud83d\udc4f Season 2 of our overcomers series premiers today! We showcased a couple of testimonies in the first half of the year and we would be reeling out more in this second half by God’s grace.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Our guest today is one who was in the web of drug addiction for about nine years. He graciously shares his deliverance testimony with us, please see excerpts below:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
1nebody<\/strong>: Hello sir, thank you again for honoring this invitation. We’re eager to hear your testimony, but first could you introduce yourself?<\/p>\n\n\n\n VA<\/strong>: \u00a0My name is Victor Adoghe. I am 23 years old and the second of three children. I graduated from Covenant University, where I studied Industrial Mathematics.<\/p>\n\n\n\n 1nebody<\/strong>: That sounds an interesting course. Apart from solving mathematical problems, what was growing up like?<\/p>\n\n\n\n VA<\/strong>: (Laughs) You know, that was actually a good part of my childhood. I was born into a Christian family and my parents did take us to church with them. But, attending church for me was really another opportunity to hang out with friends and make new friends. So, yes, I was attending church, but I didn\u2019t know the Lord.<\/p>\n\n\n\n 1nebody<\/strong>: Would you say that had a part to play in your getting lured into drug addiction?<\/p>\n\n\n\n VA<\/strong>: Yes, it certainly did. I mean, if I knew what I know now, I wouldn\u2019t have got myself into drug addiction in the first place. I found myself in the wrong company and I couldn\u2019t withstand the pressure, so I gave in.<\/p>\n\n\n\n 1nebody<\/strong>: Can we backtrack to when it all began?<\/p>\n\n\n\n VA<\/strong>: Sure. I was in my second year in junior secondary school (JSS2), when a friend introduced me to it. I was 14 years old at the time and it seemed a cool teenage behavior. At least, I thought so because many of my friends were also involved. <\/p>\n\n\n\n 1nebody<\/strong>: Were you ever worried that your parents would find out?<\/p>\n\n\n\n VA<\/strong>: My mum actually found out. But, that was almost two years later. She tried to talk me out of it, but I felt there was no way I could stop. She prayed, counselled,and encouraged me from time to time, but I paid her no attention. <\/p>\n\n\n\n What I didn\u2019t realize then was that\nGod was using my mom to redirect me to Him. The same year she found out, I\nbegan to feel the urge to turn over a new leaf. I really wanted to stop at this\npoint, but I was depending on my will, not knowing it wasn\u2019t enough. I did stop\nor rather pause. It was quite a long pause though, and everyone around me\nrealized something was happening to this guy. In fact, my school gave me an\naward for being the most spiritually improved student. It felt good living\nwithout it, but like I previously stated, I assumed my will was enough to keep\nme away from drugs and so in no time, I fell back into it. This time it was a\nlot worse than the first time.<\/p>\n\n\n\n 1nebody<\/strong>: Was this still while you were in secondary school?<\/p>\n\n\n\n VA<\/strong>: Yes, interestingly. The same school where I had been awarded as the most spiritually improved student. I was in my last year in high school when I slipped back into it. Like I said, it was a \u2018big\u2019 return. I tried so hard to stop, but I couldn\u2019t. I knew I needed help!<\/p>\n\n\n\n To be continued<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Hello Amazing Reader, We’ve got good news\ud83d\udc4f\ud83d\udc4f\ud83d\udc4f Season 2 of our overcomers series premiers today!
