Happiness John (not real name), a former prostitute and an
Enugu born orphan who was rescued and rehabilitated by the Omega Power Ministries
of Apostle Johnson Suleiman in Rivers state two months ago, got married to her
Furniture-maker husband over the weekend. Narrating her story, the bride said
she got into prostitution after losing her mother in 2012.
"I got involved in prostitution after the
death of my mother in 2012. I am an orphan, my father died in 2007, I came from
a polygamous home and could not continue my education after dropping out in my
secondary school. As my last option, I took the choice of engaging in a full
time prostitution to help myself. Consequently, I was admitted into a demonic
brothel in Diobu where certain rituals are made through shaving of hair from
all the sensitive part of your body to be deposited with the owner of the
brothel. I could not find any pleasure in the business as several ugly
incidents kept occurring in the evil brothel.
I lament every day in my life for
God to rescue me as I no longer felt comfortable to continue in the act of
prostitution but to avail. At some point, members of Winners Chapel church near
water lines junction, will come to the brothel in their buses to convey us to
their church but will later returned us to the brothel. I kept wondering why
the church could not offer an alternative means for us to quit the illicit
trade".Speaking further, the bride said
"As I was believing
God for a saviour to meet me was when Daddy OPM visited our brothel with an
uncommon style of evangelism urging us not only to quit prostitution but to
pack out of the brothel to follow him. He promised to give us house, set up businesses
for us, change our lives and also to sponsor the traditional and white wedding
of any of us who truly accept Christ and repent from our evil ways, a rare
opportunity I have being looking for. This divine visitation by the OPM evangelism team was made two days after my colleague "Chisom" lost
her life in the act, a situation that created so much fear in me to quit the
business. Today, those promises were made possible in my life, I am now wedded
to a husband of my choice, the church has graciously provided another
accommodation for us, set up business for me and God has change my life for
better".
Also
speaking, the groom who is a furniture maker said "I do not care about
what background we may come from but with the God of OPM, he knew his
matrimonial home is solidly built".
