Personal Stories

Up until a few months ago, I was addicted to cigarettes and marijuana for 18 years and also to pornography. I had tried many times to quit all three because I knew they were wrong but felt so condemned that I couldn’t. The pornography addiction led me to massage parlours, which then led to me feeling even more condemned than before, as no one knew I was doing this.

I’ve been listening to Pastor Prince’s sermons for about 2 years now. By simply allowing grace to flow into every part of my life and hearing about how much Daddy God loves me, my life has been transformed effortlessly.

Ever since Covid-19 hit, I started tuning in to New Creation Church Online every week. The message of God’s unmerited favour, grace and love has brought me countless of breakthroughs—even more than what I have experienced in the past 30 over years of being a Christian.

Pastor Prince, I was introduced to your book, Unmerited Favor, by my good friend. After reading the introduction from a copy I’d borrowed from my local library, I realized it contains revelations on Jesus that were missing in my spiritual walk.

My marriage and family life were deteriorating. In our third year of marriage, my husband and I were still getting to know each other while blending a family of two teenagers and two pre-adolescents.

I came to New Creation Church 16 years ago. Its messages, especially those that taught me about God’s love for me, really helped me. I began to see God’s blessings in my life. However, while my career was on an upward trajectory, nothing seemed to be happening on the life partner front. Back then, whenever Pastor Prince asked us to bring our prayer requests to the Lord, “life partner” would always be among my top three requests!

I received Christ at the age of thirteen and attended church regularly for about a year till the weekly pressure from church leaders to bring and convert newcomers got to me. It made me constantly feel like I was not good enough.

I am in Houston, Texas, writing this praise report as I prepare to return to Lakewood Church to hear you speak in person for the second time. I thank Jesus for bringing you to the United States.

In 2012, my husband and I were listening to Pastor Prince’s CD album, Unveiling Jesus, in our car on the way to work. In that CD, Pastor Prince had said that there was someone listening to his sermon who was believing the Lord for a baby.

I would like to share two testimonies regarding my two daughters. The first is in relation to my twenty-year-old daughter, Genesis. After a year of seeking our Father’s will with regard to what she should do after graduating from high school, we all had peace with her entering the Air Force.

I have been a Christian for years and have been serving the Lord for more than a decade now. In 2013, I slipped into depression because I suddenly began fearing for my future. I also started having anxiety attacks that were a result of toxic relationships.

Just over two years ago, I became unemployed and left with no place to stay. I was also rejected by my family because all the money and luxuries I had were gone. My son and I ended up living in a village with a family in which only one person was employed as a domestic worker in a nearby town. This person made only $70 a month to feed seven people. Our living conditions were a far cry from what we were used to.
