I picked up gambling when I was 20 years old and won the very first time I laid my hands on it. Later, the habit caught hold of me, and it turned into a 28-year-long indulgence. I would gamble every Wednesday, Saturday and Sunday—week after week, month after month, and year after year.

It occupied almost all my time and energy as I would try to work out the “hot numbers” for the next bet.  

On 10 September 2017, I joined my friend at New Creation Church and heard Pastor Prince preach. I felt so joyful listening to the gospel of grace and realising that all my sins—past, present and future—are forgiven. 

I learnt that I am the righteousness of God in Christ, and I do not want to sin. This newfound blessing showed me I should be looking at my true riches in heaven and not at the world for provision, and definitely not from gambling. Slowly, I was nudged into taking small steps to defeat my indulgence in gambling.  

On 20 September 2017, I decided to not gamble. By God's grace, I have never looked back since. 

It's been a year and a month, and I have not gambled. It feels so wonderful and blessed to be released from this bondage! 

Thank You, Lord. All glory to God.
