As promised last time, I was really encouraged by Nthambazale with his comments. I should admit that it is not and has not been easy to maintain a “good” or call it clean testimony since then.

I have just realised how crucial it is to have a good testimony. In fact the most important thing that everyone has is their personal testimony. No one can argue about it. Interestingly all of us impact others with our lives negatively or positively.

Clement, I should say people shape on indeed influence each other knowingly or unknowingly. Admittedly, you too has encouraged me. I am humbled to remember our backgrounds in Rumphi highlands, in a secondary school where we did not have enough facilities for study, where the bathrooms were stinking daily and our hostels which were overcrowded. The cold June-July cold season forced us to go on adventures of not bathing for a week! We walked long distances to school.

We failed to please God by not obeying authorities at times. And that God has since brought us this far when we now use a computer which we never knew at that time, is all praise to Him.
Personal testimony has to be clean and is the most precious thing one can have. I endevour to protect my testimony. This involves all areas of my life academically, spiritually, in relationships, professionally etc.
I know it is not easy in the blogosphere where you have all the internet which has all you need-good or bad. Some things like porn is only a click away. On the other hand, some inspirational music, message or thought from God is also only a click away. This very page is open to anyone in the world. I will never know who is reading and what they think of me. I am only hoping that what I write testifies to what is good in me and that this will continue.

I can easily think I am not visible and no body cares about what I write in my blogs, but as I am doiscovering now, there is more truth now that there is nothing hidden under the sun and one day, we will all give an account to God about what we have done.

Thousands of kilometers away I am, but I hope we will meet in person someday! Thanks again for that. I will endeavour to have a good and clean testimony however you define it.

Hi Clement.
Oh, that makes me sooo jealous. Because I love Vancouver. Have been there a couple of times in the ninties when flighin was still cheap. (Payed 350.-€ for the trip from Linz – to Frankfurt – to Vancouver. So a now unbelievable price.
