1 Corinthians 11.31
For if we would judge ourselves, we would not be judged.
Testimony:
May the name of the Lord be glorified for the teachings on deep repentance. This had a big impact on my walk.
When we began the teachings on deep repentance and self-denial, I took a moment in prayer.
I asked God to strip me of all sin, what I knew about myself and even what I didn’t know about myself. I cried out to the Lord to expose the hidden sins in my life and all that does not honor Him in my character.
That’s how God revealed to me that there was still anger in me. I humbled myself before the Lord, I asked for forgiveness and I received the conviction that the Lord had delivered me from it.
Shortly afterwards, I visited a customer to work in her apartment. I’d almost finished when a woman from the apartment next door called me over and explained her problem.
She tells me she has a plumbing problem and would like me to work on her house. Although this is usually the responsibility of the rental manager. She explains that she hasn’t been able to contact them, so needs me for the job.
I had other things to do, but looking at this mother’s situation and her pain, my heart filled with compassion and I decided to do this work.
After agreeing the terms, I left to finish the first apartment and then went to work for this lady. And I was already 99% of the way there when the rental manager turned up with a plumber and told me to stop.
They made me understand that for this type of problem, it was up to them, that I had to leave. This mother said nothing, just looked at me and didn’t pay me.
I left without saying a word. Despite all this, I felt God’s peace within me.
I called my wife to tell her what had happened. She asked me: “How did you react? I replied that I hadn’t said a word and had left. And she simply said: “Glory be to God”.
I bless the Lord for this victory over anger. Jesus has delivered me!
