00:00smoking i just lost the edge i was just feeling nausea so even just to get the smell because
00:07usually before you get triggers if you just get the smell of cigarette you will be triggered to
00:13get yourself one and smoke no matter how you told yourself no i'm not gonna do it again
00:18but after the prayers the edge even just the pride just disappeared
00:30grace and peace to everyone my name is melvin from namidia i've got several testimonies to share
00:39for the glory of god by the year 2005 i completed my matric soon after i completed
00:47my matric is when i engaged in drinking and smoking as it was uh almost like a normal thing
00:56for every young person to go through so it was just like a entertainment at first
01:04so i tried to experiment this entertainment as the years went by i would find myself drinking more
01:12often weekends sometimes it could be a daily thing smoking more than five cigarettes per day
01:22and as time went by i i found it difficult to stop because now it turned into an addiction
01:29and after i turned into an addiction i i was hoping to stop but now the edge was the one
01:35driving me to
01:36to smoke more and drink more it was quite a struggle for me over the years because it was becoming
01:44more
01:44serious though i used to go to church over the years i grew up going to church but it was
01:50not the kind of
01:51church where there was miracles taking place healing and all that so our church going was just going to
01:58church immediately from the church service you'll be going to the bars and getting drunk all over again so
02:04it was a pattern that was taking place i tried stopping on my own several times i would stay weeks
02:13a month couldn't pass a year without staying sober it was a problem because each time i could get the
02:21edge to go back i would find myself doing it again so it has been a recycling pattern for me
02:28seeing
02:29myself drinking and smoking sometimes i would be having such dreams of seeing myself smoking and
02:35drinking and by that time i was also now in debts by those years 2015 just because of this addiction
02:46that
02:46i was drinking and smoking so much and i also got involved in a motor vehicle accident by the same
02:54uh 2015
02:56which was my car which was written off by that time i just have a picture here of the car
03:02and this one also
03:05the car was written off by that year i was the driver i was the owner of the car and
03:14i was driving while
03:16under influence and uh yes i was drunk it was only by the grace of god because i don't even
03:25know how i
03:26came out of that accident we were only two in the car and none of us came up with injuries
03:32according to
03:34eyewitnesses the car was airborne and it rolled so it was a turning point for me and i wanted to
03:41get a
03:42solution with this problem that i was experiencing so i thought of maybe changing the environment where
03:48i was i requested for a transfer with my with my job because i was i'm a public servant at
03:56that time i
03:57was talking in the mining sector so looking for a way out i was from 2018 submitting applications for
04:05transfer where one can move from one department to another internally by 2018 i submitted my application
04:13for transfer which went through successfully but by the last minute after the approvals were done
04:21i got disappointed and then all of a sudden there was changes in the transfer which were cancelled
04:29and all this was frustrating me i tried several attempts but always the last minute
04:35would come to a disappointment so i've always wanted to to visit a deliverance service by then
04:44because i knew my situation was no longer normal i was having nightmares i couldn't sleep because of
04:50the addictions so it was affecting my daily life where i could be aggressive sometimes i was not having
04:58self-control sometimes you feel like you're losing yourself because of these addictions by
05:072022 on youtube again i came across uh god's heart tv that they were having an interactive
05:16prayer program which was quite a relief for me so by then 2022 i joined the interactive prayer by the
05:25grace of god after sending a prayer request it was quite a changing point for me i stopped drinking
05:31altogether i tried after the prayer i took a beer and while crying i was just vomiting i couldn't get
05:40any taste
05:40out of it smoking i just lost the edge i was just feeling nausea so even just to get the
05:48smell because usually
05:49before you would get triggers if you just get the smell of cigarette you would be triggered to to get
05:56yourself one and smoke no matter how you told yourself no i'm not going to do it again but after
06:02the prayers
06:03the edge even just to cry just disappeared i didn't dream of myself smoking again by then everything just
06:11disappeared so that was after the interactive prayer and i've also been praying for a change in my life
06:20and god opened the door sometime in 2022 all these things just happened after this interactive prayer and
06:27god's heart tv because i became accustomed to joining prayers whenever there was a online prayer taking place i would
06:36be joining through youtube i mean youtube got also open another door for me i got a call for to
06:44resubmit my
06:45transfer from the mining sector i moved to agriculture which was one of my desires to be part of agriculture
06:54by september i moved it only took three months then i was already able to start working at the new
07:04office
07:04now and which was quite a change for me because before that i struggled i gave up hope i thought
07:13no this
07:13is it i'm not gonna go anywhere this is i'm stuck here by this exposure of the new job i
07:19i got a desire to
07:21study to pursue my studies after a long time of putting my studies on hold because of the
07:28the life that i was living the background so i decided to try by that time 2025 i decided to
07:37apply for
07:38the admission which didn't get any response by then it took time it took quite a lot of time for
07:46me to
07:46get a response so by this year 2026 january without getting any response uh i was becoming
07:55too much doubtful because of my age also 58 so i thought no let me maybe it's not for me
08:03let me just
08:04leave but by the grace of god i approached the institution and got my admission letter up that
08:10they they they chose to look through it again and gave me the admission letter oh this was also not
08:18so
08:18easy because before i want to do something i have to get this nightmares where i would see myself being
08:25chased and attacked by animals in the dreams usually whenever i got a dream like that i it was a
08:31sign
08:31for me that whatever i'm trying to do was not gonna work out so it was a challenge i was
08:37facing after
08:38getting my admission now it is a face-to-face lesson course that i have to attend and being employed
08:47it is going to be a challenge for me so i decided to send prayer when it was in february
08:53this year
08:532026 to god's heart tv because now i was getting more trust and believing god always for answers
09:00my faith has been lifted because i've been watching a lot of sermons on youtube also following the god's
09:07heart tv channel so my faith has been lifted up i decided no if there's no way out i just
09:13have to
09:14send a prayer request to get god involved in my in my decisions whatever i'm planning to do so i
09:22submitted an application for leave which is a study leave can be granted if successful which was
09:30recommended a full year three-year study leave with a full salary that's what i got after the prayers
09:38which was in february i also applied for a sponsorship to pursue these studies so applying
09:48for sponsorship from the institution that is funding students in the country by april 2026 i got a letter
09:58that concluded that my my sponsorship was rejected i reappeared resubmitted again
10:07the same outcome came it was still rejected and i tried to approach my employer to request for funding
10:15also they only awarded me at 20 which to me was very small due to the balance that i have
10:23to pay and
10:24all that so it was quite stressful for me because now i am left with uh tuition fees and registrations
10:31to
10:31pay without a funding and my applications being rejected i was very anxious at that time i
10:39even put my car for sale but no one came through as time was also going time was also taking
10:48so much
10:49against me and uh we're approaching now uh it was in june when i submitted another prayer request because
10:56now i've i've got no more alternatives by then the car was not getting any potential buyers and i was
11:03not
11:03getting any funding we tried everywhere tried to obtain loans but to no success so that's when i
11:11thought no let me try to resend another prayer request that was in june my god's grace i was
11:17opportune to join prayer by the beginning of july so this year 2026 that door to provision be opened
11:27right now whatever that door represents that is closed in your business in your career in your
11:37finances in your studies i say to that door be opened opened opened in jesus name so i joined this
11:48prayer
11:48i had no more options because it was my last and the registration was due on the 10th of july
11:55joining that prayer by god's grace by that time of the the due date of the registration it was
12:03postponed to the 17th for me i i felt the relief because it's like i still have some extra time
12:10probably somebody may come through a potential buyer because i was getting calls people who were
12:17willing to come and to see the car but none of them showed up so by that time i thought
12:22no this uh
12:23few days will be sufficient for me but then i had no other alternatives my it was only forgotten to
12:31to come through as time went i received a call to resubmit my application again at the student
12:38financial fund where they said all the rejected students must uh resubmit that was not after this
12:45prayer of the first week of july so i submitted hoping on god to come through
12:53as i was hoping on god by the 16th of july and the due date was the 17th i got
13:01a response that i
13:03was awarded full sponsorship for three years which was a big miracle for me i really didn't expect it
13:11because i was on the verge of quitting looking at my age i was like and maybe study is not
13:17for me because
13:17things are not going well the time was also not on my side i didn't really expect god to come
13:24through
13:24in the last minute that he came through so i did my registration to the glory of god i am
13:32now awarded
13:33sponsorship for the next three years i'm doing a bachelor of science in horticulture the nightmares have also
13:42actually i don't get them anymore because most of the time when i get the nightmare i would either
13:47see a man of god come into my dreams i will find the deliverance or most of the time i
13:53will just
13:54i will have some peaceful sleep basically i don't get those nightmares anymore while being attacked that
14:00much i've learned that you know addiction is not a good thing it can take you out of course because
14:08it
14:09it distracts you from your initial plans your dreams and if god is not involved it can make
14:17you lose your life because for me that car accident really it was a turning point for me also i've
14:23seen
14:23many people lose their lives now friends that i've known over the years up to now many people are
14:29still astonished asking me how i quit how i came out of it i just used to share with them
14:35the prayers and
14:37all this some of them i even invite them i give them the the links to join the channel to
14:42watch
14:42testimonies and also send their prayer requests because for me it has changed my life ever since
14:48then up to now i have not had an edge to drink or smoke even though i pass people who
14:53are smoking
14:54i don't even get an edge before it was just the smell of cigarette would put me back no matter
15:00how i
15:01avoid staying away from people who are smoking i had i didn't have control of my spiritual life has
15:07quite uh tremendously improved because now i read the bible i've learned a lot watching sermons i
15:16understand the bible as the man of god used to say we must insert our names where the message is
15:22personal
15:23i've i've i've came to understand the bible more than i used to before because in the past it was
15:29just like reading history like i said we did not believe those miracles to be part of our life it's
15:35like we're very detached from the reality of the bible you would just have the bible there going to
15:41church there was nothing a spark of change taking place but after this learning a lot watching prayers
15:51praying along with the online prayer service it has really brought me more closer sometimes i would
15:57dream i would dream of seeing myself in different spiritual aspects or i would see myself for example
16:05just i would say this is god really talking to me through dreams instead of before where it was just
16:11nightmares but now god communicates to me through dreams also which is an improvement for me my word of
16:17advice is that we should not take it personal the more you understand it is all for the glory of
16:24god
16:25for one to come to that conclusion is only when you introduce god in your life and you will start
16:31to
16:31build a relationship with him we must keep in faith and also faith you must also be patient with god
16:38because god's ways are not our ways he works on his own ways and time
