He was praying one morning when he saw a strange revelation. He was on a platform and hanging above his head was a hangman noose.

Suddenly, the platform started rising and his neck was almost in the noose when he woke up.

He asked the Holy Spirit what it meant.
“There’s a trap being set for you by members of the fellowship”. The Holy Spirit told him.

“Oh! What do I do?” He asked.

“When they come with their allegations and their demand for you to relinquish the leadership of the fellowship, relinquish and don’t argue”.
He had taken over the budding fellowship in the core North; a fellowship that had 5 centers all around the North.

The fellowship grew from 5 centers to 100 centers under his leadership but certain EXCOS weren’t happy he was becoming prominent.

Two days later, they summoned him.
They raised strange allegations against him and stated what they wanted and because he was warned by the Holy Spirit, he quickly handed the leadership to them.

Some of the EXCOS weren’t happy and went to meet him saying:

“Sir, you should have fought them. We would support you”.
... but he was silent and told them not to bother and neither should they pick sides.

It was painful but because of that revelation, he moved on.

Years later, he had started his own ministry and was doing very well. His ministry was backed up with powerful signs.
One day, two of the men who laid the accusations against him came pleading.

They told him of how the fellowship packed up in three years.

Not a single center remained.

Many of them died strange deaths because of that gang up and false accusations.
I remember this story as we read about Korah, Datham and Abiram who spoke against Moses and tried to discredit him.

Moses even sent for Datham and Abiram, descendants of Levi who didn’t have an inheritance until Moses came and gave them purpose.

We need to be careful.
We all knew what became of the clan of Korah. They were wiped out.

It’s so easy to talk about spiritual figures in authority but as BELIEVERS let us be very careful.

Also, as a minister of the gospel, the accusations you will face aren’t always far away.
It’s not every accusations you respond to. God who has called you would respond to many of them by himself just as He did for the man of God and Moses.

This thread isn’t for everyone but those who are of Christ.

Good morning.

There are times in church we must yield to the move of the Spirit simply because there are certain things He wants to handle personally.

I once attended a church where if sin and hell isn’t preached, the service was not considered “hot”.
The Pastor was a good man but he really wanted to bring people to Christ but his approach was worrisome.

He would bring up certain OT teachings and tie it to issues church members were facing.

After the service, everyone was somber and “cut to the heart”.
People would come for altar call but after that service, you won’t see them again.

“The wages of sin is death...” and under my breath, I’ll whisper “and the gift of God is everlasting life”.

The church wasn’t growing and even the ministers were weary.

Everyone in church knew him. He was a difficult man and would make boast of this.

“Even Pastor sef know say I stubborn”. He once boasted.

“Sir, you can’t reason with my husband! Many have tried including Pastor and he hasn’t changed”. His wife said.
He had a drinking problem; that much was evident. His eyes always looking beady.

Even with the AC in church, he would sweat like someone who was running a marathon.

He had an easy smile but at the edge of that smile was a man with a fierce temper.
He would beat his wife and send her out of the home. His teenage sons never wanted to be around him and he knew this so he made life difficult for them.

Several times have the Pastor, a wonderful and kind hearted man, done to entreat him speaking love to him.

It was some days to Christmas and as a TEAM, they had just finished an intervention for a brother. He was still mulling over certain revelations from the prayers when his wife got a call.

It was from a colleague who was in distress and was crying over the phone in confusion.
"They just chased me out of the house I was staying...again".

The young lady had a history of rejection wherever she went to and even when she got a job, she was so surprised because she was rejected everywhere.

It was in her place of employment she met his wife.
His wife quickly gave him a breakdown and he told her "Let her come to the house in the morning".

By 7:30AM, she was in the house.

Immediately he saw her, he asked her "How old are you?"

"26" she responded.

She actually looked 40. Her responses didn't alarm him.

There's this young couple I have known for a while. I see the way they dote on each other.

It is very rare you see the husband without the wife and even if the wife appeared first, the husband was never far behind.

During church service you would see them eyeing each other.
I recall during a Sunday Service in which his wife was to take the Bible Reading, I could remember him blowing her a phantom kiss as she climbed the pulpit.

It was her blush and smile that made me look at him only to see him making faces at her.

It was beautiful.
As Men's fellowship leader back then, I teased him a lot and told him in all honesty how many men are learning how to treat their wives.

He sighed and said "Bro., it was not always like that initially. Our first year as a married couple was a disaster".

Her husband had a strange feeling.

He woke up and told his wife.

"Babe, this makeover job at Ikorodu makes me uncomfortable. Can you please send someone else?"

"Haba!" She responded.

"This person is my friend and I promised her. Just imagine if I disappoint" She said.
"You can send someone else" He insisted but she was having none of it. She went to the bathroom, came out and saw him praying in the Spirit.

She ignored him.

His prayer intensified and a catchphrase of words kept being repeating as he "skabashed".
"The Lord is my Light... He that dwell in the secret place of the Most High... The Lord shall bless our going out and coming in".

She ignored and dressed up.

As she was stepping out of the room with her box, he pulled her close, laid hands on her and prayed in tongues.

Earlier this morning, I had just finished ministering the baptism of the Holy Spirit to a wonderful sister. I was meditating on certain things when I received a call from someone.

I have known this lady for years and never for once have I heard her cry.

She literally broke down
She was tired of everything and she said that much. She lived in a neighbourhood where everyone believed that living in a big house, means you're the cause of their problems.

Anxiety had set in and fear had a fierce grip on her.

She sobbed, heavily and It weighed me down.
I didn't even know what to say but I told her I would come see her, and I did.

We talked at length and as she spoke, I saw how many women out there are afraid of so many things. The lockdown did a job on many people and coming out, they haven't adjusted.
