I feel that the Lord would have me share this testimony publicly. I have had a couple of "near death" situations in my Christian journey which had been laden with several severe spiritual warfares. The spirit of God had asked me to start sharing some of my experience, but I am still trusting Him for courage to broach the subjects publicly. I hope I will soon start sharing from the title that I currently called: My Pains, Your Gain!
My several brushes with death as a consequence of ministry, has made me have no fear of death. I am ready to die at anytime, which is why I try to live ready, daily. Now, when I talked in those line while preaching or talking to close ones, they had always "feared" for me. I know that some others would feel likewise, but my feeling is, if heaven is real, why will I be afraid to go there anytime? And if my essential reason for living is serving the Lord in ministry, then why should I be afraid to die for ministry, if He ever wants it so?
The current testimony happened early hours of this morning. I had been without food or water for a few days, engaging in prayers & enjoying God's presence. Then I had to be in the bathroom to take a leak in the toilet, which I did. As I was ending that business I started to feel faint, and then consciously put my hand on a sink, leaning forward to get myself together. The next thing I knew was severe pain on my butts. I had literally landed on my bottom, not knowing how. It all happened in a relatively small bathroom space. So I am glad that all I had to suffer was just a moment of pain on my "bum-bum" and not more than that.
I guess that is what is referred to when people say that someone slumped & ....???
Thank God I am still here and doing great in the Lord. Amen & amen!
My Pain, Your Gain, would be a highlight of Olanrewaju Elujoba's untold private sufferings and spiritual encounters occasioned primarily because of personal commitment and full devotion to God's ministry calling, which has been essentially to uplift others for no private profit.
