in person, as an old man. and
He warned: ithafif I forsake
Hhn I will$(.lffer great things
in life.
From time, I started
thinking and, reading critically
the geneology and ontology
of various. religions of the
workJ and found that all reli-'
gions profess Christ. I discov
ered that Istam acknowledges
Christ as a prophet. As my
research continued, I later
discovered that Prophet Mo
hammed confirmed that the
Holy Spirit would be a per
son. My further discovery
was that Mohammed, who
projected himself the ex.,
pected Holy $pirlt was not
the one. Why? He died. He
could not also lead people to the
aCcurate knoWledge of truth. l
found nothing convincing in
the Christian doctrine be
cause the churches uphold
that the Holy Spirit is only an
influence and cannot mani
fest as a person. It is simply
true that I believe in the Bible
but strongly disputes the
Christian's belief and prac
tices as reoartls the Holy
Spirit.
The truth is that I am
convinced that the Leader of
BCS Is the. promised Com
forter. Apart from rn y
experiences, a critical as
sessment of ontological evi
dence star\ed when I went to
Kano early this year. I met
some persons dressed in
white cassock, without shoes.
I stopped one of them and
asked who they were and
demanded: to know where to
get more: information about
their denomination. I became
endeared tp these people be
cause of one common feature
in their mode of worship
which agreed with Islamic
practice (enterino the .hethel
Bro. Jibril Madubuko
without shoes). This was ilt
Sokoto. For fear of persecu
tion, I left Sokoto and went to
Zaria in search of the truth. At
Samaru Bethel, Zaria, I asked
one Preacher John Em
manuel I.hre.e questions and
demanded to worship with
him if he could file in convinc
ing answers.
My questions bothered
on who' the Holy Spirit Is;
what was meant by 0.0.0.
. and the nativity of the bearer
of these initials. I demanded
explanations to why BCS
members put off their shoes
when dressed in white and
bow their heads at will. The
priest patiently explained to
my conviction and on March
31, 1997 I got baptised.
HOWever. it did not occur
to me 'I . would tarry at such
place (Samaru Bethel) longer
than necessary, but the Holy
Father appeared to me In a
dream, dressed in white. He
equally revealed to brethren
in the Bethel to bring me to
Calabar to see Him physi
cally.
On our way to Calabar, I
got inspired to preach the
gospel (in the bus) to other
passengers, declaring my
new faith - Christianity, and
proving to them with the
Ouran and the Holy Bible that
the Holy Spirit is a person
and not an influence. On
seeing the Holy Father physi
cally/I recalled the picture of
the man I saw in 1985 in my
dream and the being who
appeared to me in the dream
soon. after my b.aptism in
Kano.
The Father told" me "I
appeared to you... you are
my son." I am grateful to the
Father. I am still feeling the
presence of God now. BCS
members, as I have ob
served, seem not to know
who they are toying with. The
Father radiates tremendous
influence and love. I hope
mankind understands this.
Thank You Father,
Brother Jibrjl Madubuko.
