I am so pleased to be given this wonderful opportunity to share the best moment of my life with my steemit family. The best moment of my life is the period of my baptism as a minister of Christ.

WHAT IS BAPTISM

"" Baptism referred to in the Bible is complete immersion in water, not just a sprinkling of water, and it has rich symbolic meaning

• Going underneath the water during baptism shows publicly that you will no longer live to do just what pleases you.
• Being raised out of the water shows that you have started a new life focused on doing what pleases God.""

  I got baptised on the 20th of Jan 2018 but before then I was disqualified in the year 2017 while my mates qualified due to the fact that I haven't gained enough knowledge of the Bible.

Fortunately for me, I qualified the following year and this brought a lot of Joy to me. The night before my baptism, I was unable to sleep, I kept thinking of how the baptism is going to be, thoughts kept flowing in and out of my mind to the point that I imagined the holy spirit coming down from the heavens in form of a dove as it happened in Jesus' day.

And finally, it got to the day of my baptism, I was so nervous, I kept shaking until I and my fellow baptism candidates were invited to the baptism pool by the speaker in the presence of thousands of people, it was so lovely. I almost fell into the pool as I was going In due to my nervousness, then finally boom!!! I was dipped into the water, on coming out, I expected a dove but what I saw made me felt special and very happy. I saw my family and friends welcoming and congratulating me, everyone wants to take pictures with me, I must confess, I felt like a celebrity.
Then, we all went to celebrate properly, where we ate and drank and caught a lot of fun, I also went to a shopping mall where I bought a lot of things.

I was also given a lot of gifts among which a cake with my name design on was included. I was so happy and I've never felt that happy again in life
