DESTINY REDEFINED

My name is Lohit. I do not know Jesus. I would worship lots of other gods. I used to offer the best I could to the other gods. The priest of the temple would read the lines in my hand and tell me I had no future. I used to take this very seriously and thought the gods had written my destiny this way. Four months back I saw a group of people meeting. I observed that they would come, sing a few songs, read some book they were studying and go home. When I would see them I wanted to know why they were sitting in a disciplined way and not shouting. They were studying with great interest and I wanted to know what they were studying.

So with that enthusiasm I asked one of the group members to give me the book they were studying. It was the Kingdom of God Discipleship Program workbook. I started reading and I sensed it was something new. But I was not able to understand. I asked the person who gave me the book to help me understand. They told me, ‘Don’t just simply read to understand. Before reading give time to God and discover the truth behind it.’ But I did not know what time to give to God nor who this God is that I’m giving time to. So I simply thought this next 10 minutes is for you God. Still I did not understand.

I went back to the group and for the first 10 minutes they were worshipping and surrendering to God. I then understood what giving time to God meant. So I surrendered to God and after that I started to understand the truth when I would read the Kingdom of God Discipleship Program workbook. I read from session 1–3 and I realised that my thoughts had changed. With sessions 4, 5 and 6 I knew my emotions were now changed.

Now after the 7th session I am totally changed. I understand that when we surrender to God, the curses of other gods and the negative thoughts cannot control us. That is the truth I have found. My whole life and my entire future has now changed.
