I had a drinking problem that started in my teens. When I was seven, my mother remarried but divorced ten years later. Up to that time, not having known my biological father, I had regarded my stepfather as my own father and when he left, I lost my sense of belonging. I began seeking love and acceptance in alcohol and womanizing.

I began drinking at an early age of thirteen and was a drunkard by the time I was in high school. When I was in national service from the age of nineteen to twenty, my drinking habit worsened. It wasn’t until I was taken to very remote areas that I started developing an interest in God and went to church.

I returned to the city a year after and got born again. That was when I lost interest in alcohol and even did well in college. However, I had sexual relations with a church member that resulted in a baby. I was asked to leave the church and instantly went back to my old habits. This time, it got worse than it was before.

I was fired from my job because of my drinking. I even stole from my workplace and cheated people and companies for money. Even though I tried to portray a “cool” façade, I was extremely condemned inside.

I went from church to church, seeking love, acceptance, and a sense of belonging. However, I was only taught to keep God’s laws and commandments. These deepened the sense of condemnation and rejection I was feeling.

But I took a break from drinking and that was when I met my wife. I also began preaching and evangelizing in order to please God so that He would accept me. I even fasted for forty days thinking I could get power like Jesus did. People thought I was happy and was a great man who loved God. But deep inside, there was still a void and nothing I did could fill it. Eventually, I fell back into my drinking habit again.

Pastor Prince, I realized I was desperate for the love and acceptance of a father. I went through deliverance sessions, pasted Scriptures on my door post, tried holy water, applied anointing oil from Israel, and even practiced the sprinkling of blood. But nothing worked. The void in my heart was still there and I was still bound to my addiction.

One day, my wife said I should listen to your teachings and I did so in order to please her. I also wanted to prove her wrong about your ministry, as I believed you were a false preacher who encouraged people to sin. Little did I know that the gospel of grace that you preach was the very help I needed!

As I listened to you preach about the love of the Father, I started crying as the love of God filled my heart. Now, I know that my heavenly Father loves me so much and has accepted me completely. He is always with me and takes care of me and my family. My life has turned for the better.

My family and I have been listening to your messages since August 2015 and have read all your books, including Grace Revolution. I also watch your videos on YouTube. Today, I am completely delivered from drinking, womanizing, and self-condemnation! I have also never been so in love with my heavenly Father and my family.

We have started a fellowship in our home where we preach grace, Jesus, and His finished work at the cross. We have witnessed people getting delivered and being helped by our Lord Jesus!

We are so grateful to God and to your ministry. May you remain deeply loved, greatly blessed, and high favored!
