Testimony by Jessica Koroh

I came from an ordinary family. I have many siblings. From a tender age we were not taught any spiritual values as our parents did not know who Jesus was then.

When I was young I was fearful, timid and lack of confidence to face many matters. Whenever I wanted to go somewhere or do something in the presence of many people, I would cry although at home I was the toughest.

The most challenging time was when I was growing up. I had to learn to be independent by experience or own effort. At times I would cry for being angry, scared, felt isolated, ashamed and the worst of all I hated my own father. In my own understanding, he was the reason I had to go through all these. As a matter of fact when we were young, my father never appreciated any of us as daughters were a nuisance to him. Unfortunately out of the eight children he has, six are daughters.

In the late 80’s I came to know Jesus and accepted Him as my Lord and Saviour during a seminar on new life in the Spirit. At that time I felt something extraordinary even though I did not see Jesus but everything I saw then were bright and new. I was always longing for His presence in my life after that seminar. I could memorise the songs during the seminar without any effort on my part. I would sing these songs. Whenever I sang, I could feel Him sitting next to me although I did not have any Bible then. While singing these songs I was ministered to and I came to know the goodness of Lord Jesus.

Slowly I learned to become patient, calm, and hardworking and trust in the Lord Jesus although I cannot see these things. The Lord Jesus has prepared everything in my life through His church, friends, and workplace and taught me to accept and forgive my father.

Until now I could not deny that previously the songs I sang where an act of worship and offering that pleases the Lord Jesus. I believe and felt that every time I praise God, I will feel His presence and closeness in me. I want to make an offering to God in whatever form as I believe in Heaven is full of praises and dances for God.

If you want to learn more about worshipping God, learn from David in the book of Psalms.
