I must say God is Awesome indeed. In fact, he is too much.
Please, if you don’t fear him, please start now. He is dependable, indeed.
He is great and mighty.
He is worthy to be praised.
He never fails.
He keeps his word.
Trust him and go to sleep, never lean unto your own understanding when trusting him.
My testimony is classic.
In fact, I am still speechless and still in awe.
I was to sit for an exam in March/April 2020, but it was moved to Sept/October/November due to the Covid pandemic. So I was glad because I felt, ‘oh well I had more time to prepare for it’. But somehow time passed until the exam approached.
First, it was the Computer based exam multiple choice in September this year, while in the hall it seemed super and sweet, but when I came out and started hearing various answers to certain questions which seemed like I didn’t get, I became really worried. I wasn’t sure again I was going to pass it.
I prayed daily until 3 weeks when the result came out, that I had passed and was qualified to move to the next level of the exam.
My joy knew no bounds.
Going forward, the preparation wasn’t easy at all, as I had to stay awake through out the night for most nights, I read until I developed pedal edema due to prolonged sitting. But I kept telling God, that I trust him totally and that he that had brought me this far will definitely see me through successfully.
So first the written exam approached, when I saw the questions I was shocked because it was totally not what was expected, as it was not the usual way the questions were being set in the past. So they had introduced fresh questions. I said,
Wow!
I prayed and asked God to help me. Even in the questions that required drawing I had no idea of the diagrams to draw, so I didn’t draw at all. And NO drawing attracts zero score.
Until I left the hall and started hearing various views on what was expected. I was terribly pained and bitter.
When people were sharing their answers I kept quiet cos my case was terrible. I had nothing to share.
I went home that day and wept, but on a second thought, I wiped my tears and said to myself, Ad lean not unto your own understanding and trust him to blind the eyes of the examiners to my wrongs. And backed it up with various promises in the bible.
Every hour daily I professed his words until the exam was over. Some days we would be having study sessions and I’d step out to the toilet and pray aggressively and come out and continue with the session.
The next days were the steeplechase exams, my God, it was damn worse, and it ought not to be for someone who had a poor written paper as the score was to be added up to boost my final score.
My readers, I almost lost hope, but of course God was working over time for me.
He is great indeed.
I left the exam venue, to my room covered myself up in anger, and read all the scriptures of his promises and told God I needed a miracle. And that I knew he was able and capable of giving it to me success and not my ability/performance.
So regularly meditated on these few scriptures:
Jer 32:27
“Behold, I am the LORD, the God of all flesh. Is anything too hard for me?Isaiah 41:10
Fear not, for I am with you; Be not dismayed, for I am your God. I will strengthen you, Yes, I will help you, I will uphold you with My righteous right hand.Psalm 46:10
Be still and know that I am God: I will be exalted among the heathen, I will be exalted on the earth.Proverbs 10:24
The expectations of the righteous shall not be cut short.
These are a few of the lot that I regularly professed. I kept telling God that his words cannot be a lie. I told him that he will finish the work he had started. I told him to blind the eyes of my examiners to my numerous errors.
Indeed, he did so.
So that evening I got a message from my consultant saying I had passed, I was shocked and speechless. In fact, I cried like baby, God had kept to his word and promises. And then congratulatory messages started pouring in.
Till now that I am writing this testimony, I am still speechless. Indeed this is the finger of God as it was humanly impossible. But God proved he is God and that with him all things are possible.
Dear all, in summary 3 words that did it were his grace, favor and mercy upon me. Trust in him totally and never lean on your own understanding. For he never ever fails. As he did it for me, he will also do for you.
Finally, I want say a very big thank you to God almighty for the unmerited favor. I will never take it for granted.
Thank you all & God bless.
That was a wonderful testimony. Thanks for sharing. I, equally,have an exam that I’m studying for. The ones written so far…well some are bad,some are barely good. I just recovered from a 2wks illness. Trying to catch up on my studies has been hard. I’ve been praying for his grace for my exam. Your testimony really lifted my spirit. It just reminded me that no Christian is truly disadvantaged. Thanks!
Dear Emmanuel,
I am glad my testimony helped. Indeed no Christian is truly disadvantaged. It reminds us of the passage that says those that know their God shall be strong and do exploits. Indeed so.
Sorry to hear u were ill. I’m sure u have fully recovered. His grace is indeed sufficient for you and us all.
He is a great God. You will excel in all ur exams, by his grace.
Thank you.
