Whilst my blog is not targeted at Christians alone, it’s no secret that I am a Christian and my Faith is a central part of my life, so I’ve decided to share a little part of my Faith.
Christian, or non-Christian, we sometimes question if there is something beyond the visible and natural things we see, especially when we have dreams or unexplainable experiences. I would like to share my experiences on things I believe were nothing short of supernatural in my life… So, here’s one in this blog… I’ll share others later.
The first major one was in my first year of University. The fact that I made it to uni that year was already a miracle to me, but I don’t think it would be regarded as supernatural.
Well, I made the decision to become an actual Christian the August of the year I turned 16, and I joined the uni in November of the same year. Prior to that, I was not particularly the brightest student in my secondary school. I was in fact at the bottom, always barely escaping repeating a class. This was a big deal, since I was the top pupil in my primary school, but due to some experiences, I suddenly became not-so-smart.
After I made the decision of being a Christian, I began to see a great change in my life. Somehow, I passed all the necessary examinations, and in the face of opposition and contradictory circumstances, I got into a private University and was set to have a good school life. Well, that was till the results of the first mid-semester exams were out… It was horrendous. It covered 30% of my total score for the first semester, and the highest score I got in my mandatory courses was 8 out of 30.
It felt like my world was turning upside down. I began to wonder if it would be the same old story from high school, with me at the bottom of my class. Well, I decided to pray about it and really step into my faith. In doing that, something on my inside began to burn for more. It was like a fire that made me want to fight for a real change. I felt encouraged to study as much as I could, with the intention to do my best and leave the rest for God.
I did the first semester exams, and on seeing my results, I was shocked beyond comprehension. I recall some of my course mates asking how many carry-overs each person got. Most present declared they had one or two, and because these people had probably seen my mid semester results, they were certain I would have a couple. Imagine the shock on their faces when I told them I had none.
I in fact felt a bit awkward sharing that I not only had no carryovers, I also had a CGPA that made me fall into the top five in the course. If I recall correctly, I was asked to prove it by showing my results. I think people started avoiding me after then, as I was tagged as a person who plays in public and studies in private.
In truth, I did very little to achieve my grade… I simply did my best and then trusted God with the rest in my exams. Even till date, I don’t like to study, especially topics I find rather boring (Which includes most school subjects haha). Well, I remained a part of the top 5 till I graduated.
Now, the supernatural part of this miraculous experience for me, happened in the mid semester exams for the second semester of that same first year. I had gotten so close to God that before I slept, I always prayed. During the examination time, I would have dreams that indicated what to study for the examinations. At the time, the people who were “on fire for Jesus” and were taking on supernatural dimensions seemed a bit weird, even though, I was at a Christian university.
It was a wild experience that I would have kept it to myself, for fear of being tagged weird, but I decided to go all out and told some of my course mates about it. At first, they didn’t believe me, but then I dreamt again. In this dream I saw what parts of the notes to study for the exam the next day and immediately told my course mates of it! To their surprise, it was exactly as I said. From that point on, they began to ask about what to study.
This only happened in my first year of university, which was also my first year as a believer. I guess something as supernatural as that had to happen for me to grow in the supernatural, and my faith in the power of Jesus Christ. Also, I kinda had stunted growth in my faith in my second year and was like that for a while… hehe
It may sound crazy or even incredible, but it is my true lived experience and one of the reasons I believe in miracles.
I’ll be sharing more of these experiences as to why i believe in miracles… watch this space for more!!!
