Christ Embassy Teenagers Helped Me Become A Christian, I Used To Be An Atheist by Zatwo: 12:47pm On Jul 18, 2013
I am a teenager, 18 yrs precisely and I was an Atheist, , my father made sure my whole family are atheists .
This year Christ Embassy teenagers started disturbing me to attend their cell fellowship, I don’t give attention to Christians because my Dad already made me believe Christians are fools, but I gave attention to them only because I liked a pretty girl that was one of them. I attended the Cell fellowship only once during March, but since they’ve not been seeing me, they always call me. They don’t visit my home because of my parents.
I attended the Cell Fellowship last Friday, 12 July. I didn’t listen to anything they said because I believed it was trash, I was just feeding my eyes on the girl and the way they were speaking in tongues amused me . After the fellowship, the girl “Evelyn” by name sent some messages and songs to my phone which I received no because I wanted to listen but because of her. On Friday night, I laid on my bed and was listening to songs on my phone, It was on shuffle, so after I just finished listening to Chairman by MI, a song “Holy is your name” by Frank Edwards played. I wanted to next it , but for some reasons I couldn’t , I just listened to it.
While it was playing , some words of the leader at the Cell Fellowship kept ringing in my mind “Christ really lives, he’s not a religion and he wants to have a personal relationship with him”. I wondered how I remembered
I felt a sudden fear for a short while and then warmth. I knew I wasn’t alone in the room, words from the leader came to my remembrance again “When Christ takes a whole of you, you won’t be shaking in your Christian faith” .
I didn’t know what to do, I called the girl and she prayed for me. I surrendered my Life to Christ. I know he lives and I am telling everyone that he is real. Thank God my Father traveled on Saturday, I attended the Church Service and shared my testimony to the Cell leaders and the girl, they were happy and they told me to keep coming to services.
Here’s the problem: My Dad would be back this week, and HE WILL NEVER allow me to attend any church service while he is around, I don’t know what to do but I’m looking forward to the cell fellowship this Friday.
Thank God for me, GOD IS REAL

It's like you weren't an intellectual atheist but an indoctrinated atheist. IOW your Dad didn't allow you to experience the vast spectrum of religions from now and in times past. In any case, do consider your new-found faith carefully so you are sure whatever sacrifice you intend to make cuz of it is worth it. All the best.

Hi Zat,

I am quite curious why you felt like skipping the song by Frank Edwards. Was it that you did not like gospel songs before now or that you have a bias against them because of your dad?

Did "Evelyn" introduce you to gospel songs and was that the first time you listened to a song by Frank Edwards?

@striktlymi i had a mindset dat gospel songs are boring,i rarely gospel songs play anywhere.So i felt d song wuld also be borin + i was only interested in listenin 2 rap dt nyt...I tink frank edward's sang SUPASTAR,dts 1 of his songs ive heard b4

Thank God for you. The Bible says that in the last days he will pour out his Spirit on all men. You're a babe in Christ and you must begin to seek solid food which is the Word of God. Study and meditate upon it, do not chase after shadows(doctrines and teachings that only yield confusion) but chase that which is real. May God, through his Holy Spirit lead and guide you right. amen bro. It is well with you

Ok cool!

Sorry for being kinda inquisitive but from your previous posts which dates back to January 2012, it seems to me that you were properly acquainted with Frank Edward...to the extent that you called him "Frank Eddy" and were expecting more from him in 2012. You also were aware of his 'latest' single then "End of the world"...

When you said: "I think Frank Edward's sang SUPERSTAR" it gives the impression that you were not really acquainted with his songs but from your previous posts we know that is not exactly correct.

Again, please pardon me for being inquisitive but really how do you reconcile the above facts with some of the information you have 'fed' us already?
