My Story about how God shaped me

Hey everyone! So today, I’m going to share with you all the nitty gritty about how God shaped my life. 

Before we get into it, let’s have our moment of silence. 

At this time, I would like all of us to take a moment of silence and pray to God to guide us more towards him each day. Take a minimum of 5 minutes and pray for this. 

Now back to the show

My story about how God shaped me

So what happened is that all of my life, I’ve actually known that God is real. 

I see that the ways of the Lord are good from my own wisdom. 

Like, ultimately it was God who gave me that wisdom, but in reality, I’ve always in my mind and heart said to myself, that the word of the Lord is alive and he is alive. 

Even as a kid with little to no wisdom, I said within my heart, the Lord is alive and here. 

And what happened was that the reason why I said that was because I had read the bible. I had read the bible at an early age. And I was paying attention to church.

And honestly, it was true, it was alive, it is alive and true.

And I saw for myself that everyone in the church failed from time to time, but my Lord was there and these people kept on worshiping him. 

And it’s only that, but the words that are spoken of in the bible I saw come to life through my very own living situations and experiences. 

Like, the bible talks about the sinners and the people who choose to follow God.

And I saw the sinners in my life and I couldn’t help but to think, “The bible was telling the truth.”

And I saw the people that follow God in my life, and I couldn’t help but to think, “The bible was true all along.”

And all these things were going on all at once.

And inside of me, I remember I had this big light in my heart. I couldn’t describe it as anything else other than a light.

And I remember that this light was strong and wanted to take control of my life.

I was willing to let it control my life too, but I wanted other things.

This was all happening when I was a kid.

And this light that I had in my heart, it was strong and had the greatest impact in my life. 

And that light is God. 

My sins and the turn for the worst.

Honestly, I remember when I was in elementary school, greed came into my life.

Greed and other worldly pleasures came into my life. 

I wanted money, women, cars, and houses. 

Things honestly that I couldn’t get at the time. 

And what happens is that I remember looking at myself and I said to myself, “I am smart, I can get the good things that I want in life.”

And I said to myself, “God is here but I can keep him at 2nd place in my heart.”

And honestly, I don’t think I read enough of the bible because I didn’t know just how much of God I really need. 

And honestly, I kept thinking that the world was going to revolve around me.

When in reality, it revolved around God. 

And I kept saying, “I’m going to keep God second place in my life.”

And so I was praying to God for music and talent. 

And God gave me music and talent.

And at the height of my music career in high school, I remember the crowds were giving me standing ovations. I remember hearing people cry out Encore Encore. 

And I remember saying to myself, “Why am I not happy?”

These things used to fill my heart so much, why am I not happy?

And I remember specifically it was at a concert, one of the biggest concerts that I had up to that date. 

And I remember that after the crowds had finished applauding, I said to myself, “I feel empty.” 

And it was at that point that I said to myself, “This music won’t fill my heart up. And I know exactly who will fill up my heart.” 

And I started to seek God. 

I’m not going to lie, a big fire started in my heart in those days. 

But not big enough to shape me completely. 

And so I started to chase God and God really revealed himself to me in those days. 

I kept asking God if he could show me that he was real. 

And overtime the Lord kept on revealing to me why not to doubt. 

But everything points back to God. 

I will say this from personal experience. 

I wasn’t an atheist, I believed that God was real because it was obvious to me. 

But I doubted heavily. 

And so, what happened is that God was strong enough to really put my confidence in him. 

It took a lot of humility though, I’m not going to lie. 

I remember back in the day just the manners in which I thought. 

I thought too highly of myself. 

When in reality, I was poor, and in desperate need of the Lord’s grace. 

And the Lord kept on providing grace unto me each day. 

Now, I want to worship the Lord with all my heart. 

I want to honor the Lord with all my heart. 

I’m not going to lie, it took a long time for me to get to this point. 

And in a way, I’m jealous because I see that a few of my friends are really on fire for Jesus at such an early age. 

And it took me a good long time to get there. 

I actually have a friend who is around 23 years old right now, and you should see him.

He always has his bible with him. 

He’s always talking about God. 

And sometimes I wish that I was just as passionate about Christ as he is. 

He was actually an inspiration for me to continue to do good in work. 

He inspired me to fight hard at the job. 

I just wish that I could be more on fire for God sometimes. 

He is worth every single second that you spend with him.
