(Part 1/2) About 5 years ago, I gave my life to Christ. I basically grew up on the streets, in the hood of Bariga, so you can understand what I had been exposed to at that age. I lost my dad at a very young age, so I was taken to live with my uncle. 

I had opportunities to do a lot of bad things, but for some reason God kept me. I was exposed to smoking, drinking and all that but I never tried them out. I remember sharing this with someone and the person said, "Your father's prayers worked", because my dad was an evangelist at MFM. 

I started going to church at some point but I never really found anything in the church fun. For me it was a routine. I had the mindset that you can’t serve God when you're young till when you're all grown up, married and you've enjoyed life to the fullest.

After secondary school I was looking for what to do because there was no one to sponsor my education. So, I started working as a bricklayer to survive, earning 800 Naira per day. After that, I started to teach in schools. I had this mindset that there was more to life, but for me, the idea of more to life was going out to hustle and doing something for yourself. I also worked with a welder on a particular project. I was doing whatever came my way so as not to appear lazy.

I was making some money but it just didn't fill my void. I was empty inside.

I was also a dancer, so I would go for dance rehearsals and meet with my guys to sing once in a while. We would meet and freestyle, doing street stuffs. I was good at what I did. Guys had their eyes on me and I had the opportunity to work for some people. I went on like this until someone told me about Solid Foundation Ministry camp meeting. It’s a teens and youth ministry. 

At the camp, there were about a thousand teens present from all over. Just one day into the camp and I was feeling funny. Like I said earlier, my idea of serving God was something to be done when you are mature, married and old but that camp meeting changed my life. I saw young people on fire for God. 

(Part 2/2) At the camp, there was a particular guy, very young, from South Africa. Whenever it was time for bible study, he was the first to get there, always ready. Almost everyone around me was in that world and I felt left out, but something on the inside of me felt peace, and I knew I needed more of this to fill the void in me. 

I started interacting with some of the guys, asking questions about the Bible and the Christian walk. They put me through, made me see reasons why the best time for me to serve God was now. We had series of bible studies and a lot of other activities and then one of the days at camp, there was an altar call and I gave my life to Christ. I still remember the whole experience. I woke up every day at camp eager to see what would happen next. I really can't find the right words to explain my experience, but it was different.

After camp, I got a new sense of direction. God was leading me and things started coming to me easily. I got to know God better, I got to understand why I needed to study the scriptures, the essence of devotions and fellowship with the Spirit.

My whole life changed. Being someone that had a lot of crazy experiences growing up, it was easy for me to relate with people. I bless people with my music. I sing indigenous rap music. Right now, I have a lot of people from the streets who look up to me. I've learnt that in order to win people, you don't need to look or feel different from them, or look down on them. You need to get close to them. I've been where they are so I understand them. That experience has helped me style my music and reach out to people.

God has been faithful. We've been able to win souls daily. Every opportunity I get to minister to someone, even on the road, I use it. I share my testimony. Even if they don't accept Christ at that moment, I believe that for everyone I talk to, I sow a seed and the Holy Spirit does the rest. 

I'm growing by the day and I now understand that serving God is not by age. It's how much you experience him, and every day is a new experience. It's been an amazing journey.
