INTRODUCTION: Jayeola was a child born to a poor family. They struggled each day to eat a meal that they get from the little harvest from their small farm behind the house. His father is dead and his mother is left to cater to four children of which Jayeola is the last born. One day at school a missionary came to preach to them and Jayeola surrendered his life to Jesus. At the end of the prayer of salvation, he discovered he had a joy within him that he could not explain. He was in so much joy that he didn’t realize he had not eaten that day. On getting home his mother observed his joyful outlook despite the fact that he went to school on an empty stomach and had to ask what he ate that made him so happy. Jayeola responded that though he had not eaten that day he was filled with a kind of joy he could not express after the salvation prayer he prayed at school.
