Testimony:
Hi, my name is Manoj Subramaniam.
I work in Tesco Supermarket Brent Park, London.
I was brought up in a Hindu Family with nine members and I am the youngest child. I followed Hinduism and believed in other religions too. I use to spend most of my day watching TV or playing cricket, which was laziness in every aspect!
One day through my best friend I heard about the Lord Jesus Christ through a strange statement in the bible: John 3: 16 – For God so loved the world, that He gav His only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in Him should not perish, but have everlasting life.
As simple as this statement seems to be, it took many years of ‘religion’ before the truth of it finally dawned upon me. I have always believed in Jesus, but in my childhood, I would never spend any time praying or reading scripture.
When I was sixteen, a serious change in my commitment to God occurred, I realized that I wanted and needed a stronger relationship with the Lord Jesus Christ. At first I was crushed emotionally, thinking it was too late to develop a deeper relationship with God. I viewed myself as such a wretched sinner, and I wondered if God would forgive me because I hated the actions I had committed in my past. My spirit was crushed, I called out to the Lord as Godly sorrow flooded my heart, but then it hit me: God’s mercy is everlasting! I cried out to the Lord, asking him for a heart of flesh instead of a heart of stone and soon after things changed.
A deep love for God developed and through the scriptures I was getting to know God and my Lord Jesus Christ. I developed a hatred of sin my daily life. I am in no way perfect, but through Christ who strengthens me, I sin much less, stay away from things of the flesh, and I am spiritually minded. I have, by the mercy of our loving God, been ‘reborn.’
I want to help others know truth. I am forever humble that God’s grace came upon me. Thank God our Heavenly Father for our Saviour and Lord, Jesus Christ.
2 Corinthians 7:10 – For the sadness that is used by God brings a change of heart that leads to salvation – and there is no regret in that, but sadness that is merely human causes death.
2 Corinthians 4:6 – The God Who said “Out of darkness the light shall shine!" is the same God who made His light shine in our hearts, to bring us the knowledge of God’s glory shining in the face of Christ.
