The Creflo Dollar Effect:
Whilst on the one hand I would be enjoying Gospel music on television and would
mix that with a gospel deliverance by a man called Dr. Creflo Dollar. This,
the very man who after a long process of listening to him made me love who
I am in the Lord again. He brought back that spark and fire I used to have
as I was growing up as a child of a family that read the Bible day and night
without fail. He not only made me think serious about my relationship with
God, but also made me realize that, it doesn't matter what I did or what
happened with my life whilst I was in the self inflicted "wilderness" where
I was angry with every religious establishment, Jesus loved me,
a dirty, filthy and undeserving sinner and that my value in Him never changes
and that I am the Righteousness of God.
That in itself was enough for me to start developing a new and refreshed
relationship with God. You see, I was born in a family where reading the
Holy Bible was an everyday thing. We read the Bible evenings and mornings,
everyday of our lives without fail. At that time it almost felt that one
would read it until one forgot what the whole thing was about. It wasn't
until I was a teenager, during the political struggle, where more and
more I had question about religious practises (people saying they are Christians
yet behaving badly) and religious institutions.
Although I grew-up reading the Bible everyday, I felt that to a degree,
there was a discrepancy between what I was reading in the Bible and some
of the practices I was experiencing in the church. Where people whom I
thought were God fearing and God Loving were the very fornicators, lovers of money, liars, etc. Man
and woman (who I thought were of God) left their wifes and husband for
each other within the church. "Lord have Mercy on us".
As a result I got so involved in student politics and the struggle in
general that there was no more room for me to consider anything else.
