Awaken Us, Oh Lord - Paperback

by Nestor Kouassi (Author)

When a person hears the story of how author Nestor Kouassi came to know the Lord personally, one would believe he embodies many of the hardships that can befall a Christian. The son of a couple who dwelt within the voodoo culture of a small village in Benin, Nestor became connected to voodoo as part of his treatment from a childhood illness. However, his conversion to Christianity when he was seventeen years old led to not only an awakening of his soul for Jesus, but also an awareness that his path ahead would not be an easy one: whether from torment from those in his village to setbacks on his path to America. His autobiographical account of his journey with Christ, Awaken Us, Oh Lord, describes how God created an unusual passion in his heart to know Christ and encourage others to pursue God for their encounters in order to live the kingdom life to the fullest. Nestor also describes the descriptive visions the Holy Spirit instilled within him that not only helped him avoid crippling snares placed by the devil, but also to understand the world's need for a revival and awakening to heal its wounds and usher an unprecedented number of souls to eternal glory. Nestor believes God has led him to see that the needed worldwide revival and spiritual awakening is on the verge of coming into existence and that Christians everywhere need to go back to their secret places with supplications so God comes down again and gives us victory and salvation. It was God, Nestor expresses, that gave him the vision to help those within his village see Jesus, while also leading his path to the United States and to his current location of California to continue his mission. As Awaken Us, Oh Lord states, anyone who is called to serve the Kingdom of God will be given the tools and insight from the Lord to make an impact on the world for God. Whether you are a spiritual giant or a novice, Awaken Us, Oh Lord will expose you to a vision of Christ that will compel you to pursue Him more in order to live a victorious supernatural life and fulfill your God-given assignment fully.
