My wife had contemplated suicide because I kept failing to keep the promises I made to her. It seemed like the more I struggled to do things right, the more I ended up doing those things wrong. Eventually, she left me in September 2013 and in February 2014, we were officially divorced. She then moved to Austria with our nine-year-old son.

I knew that my bad conduct was a thorn in my marriage, but I didn’t know how to make things right. However, God knew and that’s why He pointed me to Pastor Joseph Prince.

The very first day I listened to Pastor Prince’s preaching about God’s grace, I felt as if a heavy burden was lifted off me. It was as if God knew about my burden more than I did and He made a way to set me free.

You see, I used to be very conscious of my weaknesses and shortcomings, believing that I would never escape God’s curses and hellfire because of them. Every day, I made commitments to live right, but I found myself struggling to improve my behavior. I was tormented by fear and my powerlessness. Despite attending church, Bible study, and prayer meetings regularly, I felt so empty that I wondered if I would make it to heaven.

However, as I kept listening to Joseph Prince share the message of grace and the gift of righteousness, I began feeding on God’s love for me. My life became more meaningful because I discovered it is no longer I who live—Jesus is the one who operates in me. The more I focus on His love for me, the more I fall in love with Him, and the more the Bible becomes a book about His love.

It was during the times of separation and divorce with my wife that I surrendered completely to the power of God’s grace because I’d nothing more I could do than to say “yes” to Jesus. Jesus turned the turmoil of my divorce into a breakthrough. I started experiencing life like never before as God kept showing up in my daily living, healing me, and fixing issues in my life—even issues that I had not asked Him to fix.

At the same time, God was also healing my wife from the emotional breakdown and renewing love in her heart and mind. Gradually, she opened up to me and showed me her care and kindness.

So miraculously, we got back together and we are one again by His grace. Now, I’m with my family every weekend—something that was never possible before. I was promoted in my company and with the promotion came a company car that makes it possible for me to be with my wife and son every weekend.

Besides mending my marriage, God also delivered me from a sexual sin. Prior to discovering the message of grace, I was watching pornography. However, since I started following Pastor Prince’s ministry, the desire to watch pornography just died and I no longer indulge myself in that area. Jesus did it all for me even though I don’t deserve it at all!

I thank God that He has raised Pastor Joseph Prince to bring the good news to those whom God loves, those beaten down by shortcomings, hopelessness, and addictions—those like me. Now, I am walking with boldness, knowing I’m fully safe and sound in Jesus Christ, and that He is always there for me. Eternal life is my inheritance in Christ Jesus by faith, not by my self-works.
