Happy Birthday 🎉

SALVATION STORY OF PASTOR MARCEL OBODE. http://bit.ly/2dZqtLQ

My name is Pastor Marcel Obode – Virtual Zonal Pastor, North-West Region Virtual Zone 1.

We were three friends, Godfrey, Alfred and I. We were students in a secondary school, Edo College in Benin City, Nigeria. This was sometime between late 1980 and late 1981. I never took note of the day or date. I do remember being influenced by two programs organized in the school titled REVIVAL 80 in 1980 and REVIVAL 81 in 1981. In these two meetings, our man of God Pastor Chris was one of the major organizers.

I didn't attend the meetings but those who got saved in those meetings were preaching the gospel all over the school. The young men who gave me the message of gospel told me of how pastor Chris influenced them; they got born again during those programs. One day Alfred and I went to play football at break time while the third fellow went somewhere else to play some other game.

While playing our football game, we hit a senior student with the ball. He seized the ball and called us all together. We apologized for hitting him with the football and tried to explain that it was not intentional. He said our punishment will be for us to sit and listen to what he had to say for a few minutes.

Then he preached to us about what it means to be born again. This was probably my first contact with the gospel. It was the first time anybody will tell me about being born again. I was born a Roman Catholic. And we were taught that if you were baptized as a baby ( by sprinkling ) you were born again. So, Alfred and I argued with him all through his preaching.

I insisted that I was BORN AGAIN FROM BIRTH. He finally let us go. He didn't succeed in getting us born again. But his words were ringing in my mind. At the end of the break time, our friend Godfrey came to us telling us that he heard something today and that we must hear what he heard. He told us that someone told him about what it means to be born again.

Alfred and I told him we heard the same thing today and didn't make a difference. He told us, "You couldn't have heard what I heard and remain the same". We argued for a while and finally agreed to go and see the person who talked to him the next day. The following day at break time, we followed him to see the fellow who had preached to him.

The fellow told us about what it means to be born again and the consequences of not making a decision for Jesus, He told us about the end times and about the burning hell. The young man himself had gotten born again after attending the program that Pastor Chris and his friends organized where they showed the movie BURNING HELL.

I didn't want to go to hell which he so vividly described, so I prayed the prayer of salvation along with him. Every day for the next one week, we went to see the same young man and he taught us the word of God and ministered the Holy Spirit to us.

After getting us filled with the Holy Spirit, he sent us out to go and lead others to Christ, get them filled with the Spirit and send them out. And I have been on it since then.

Wow! Wow!! Today is Pastor Marcel Obode's Birthday. Join us as we celebrate a burning and a shining light, a man who is passionate about the Gospel. You can leave your greetings and prayers in the comment section. God bless you.
