Sometimes we get to read outrageous things
Sometimes we get to experience outrageous things as believers
When we hear outrageous testimonies, we wonder if they were true
When we experience outrageous miracles, we wonder if we would be believed or if we should only share with a
few friends within our circle of faith and shut the world out of it
We don't want some spawns of Belial to throw stones at us over that which was from the beginning, which we have heard, which we have seen with our eyes, which we have looked at and our hands have touched and that
which the Holy Spirit has done through us concerning the outworkings of the Holy Spirit and the word of life!
And yet, we know that when you keep quiet about a manifestation of the spirit, you debar other believers from walking in its reality for faith comes by hearing!
So many
lives are dormant in the outworking of signs and miracles because they weren't exposed to the reality of the manifestations of the Holy Spirit in their daily lives to the point where their lives begin to manifest what they have heard.
This is what it means to teach the rhema, the
living and the pulsating life of God in the reality of the assembly of the saints in light
We demonstrate the reality of God and we proclaim it so that those who ought to run with it shall pick it and run.
So after their monthly Holy Ghost instructed service on a Friday, he set
out with to of his brothers in Christ and a Sister to minister at a vigil in the middle of the night.
Their ministration was supernatural
The Holy Spirit moved mightily
They got back to their place of rest around 3:30am
He slept
I was awakened at 7:02 by a Pastor who was supposed
to minister on one of the minister's training programme via zoom
The minister wanted to know if he was allowed to start the meeting without a formal introduction because when he logged on to the zoom platform, he realized his host has not logged in
He apologised and logged in
he told his host he was just getting to sleep after all the activities of the previous hours
He introduced the speaker and they had a great time of fellowship.
Immediately after the teaching, He rested a little until he was informed that the people he ministered with were ready
to depart to their stations
He saw them off
Immediately he got back into his room, the atmosphere around him changed
It started with the air
It was as if he wasn't getting enough of it
Like the entire room was charged electrically and heating up in a strange way
It felt as if he
walked into the middle of a burning furnace
His body began to burn all over from within
He started praying
He could sense something was wrong but he couldn't place his hand on it
When it was 12:32pm and his body was still feeling very uncomfortable, he decided i needed to take a
drive
He left the house in such a hurry that he didn't take his phone or wallet
It wasn't the first time he would feel he was being stirred in a particular direction by the Holy Spirit
He had trained himself not to plot human graphs and engage human reasoning at such times becaus
It simply doesn't do him any good
His mind would just distract and delay and confuse the whole process
He had grown to know the signs
Once when he was 27, he was traveling to Lagos from Ibadan
He didn't have a dime on him
The Holy Spirit told him to dress up and head for the road
when he got to the expressway, he sat beside a woman who sold kola nut and other odd stuff and waited for further instructions
After two hours of waiting, a private car parked
The driver alighted to buy some bitter kola nuts and some cigarette from the woman
The driver sat beside
him and began to smoke
They didnt exchange a word, not even a word of greeting
a few minutes later, a woman with a baby fastened behind her walked by
Her baby was holding a small purse
The baby dropped the purse
He and the driver saw this and simultaneously called the attention
of the woman to the purse dropped by the lady
The lady looked at them, looked at the purse and said "It wasn't mine and walked off in a hurry"
They tried to call her again but she increased her pace
Perhaps she thought they were kidnappers aiming to bait her with a purse they
planted by the road
(Such events were all over the news at that time)
They were both convinced they saw the baby drop the purse
They walked up to the purse and picked it up
They found inside the purse, 3000 Naira
The driving license of the man and his own University Identity card
He was in 300 level at the time and he was sure his identity card was hanging on his neck
He had been trained to wear it at all times
It was a matter of law at his school and yet there it was
The man was also sure he had his driver's license in the car but when he went to check
it wasn't there
Both of them were shocked by what they saw
A[art from this they had nothing else in common
He was a born again Christian and the man was a driver with a logistics company who had been tasked with the duty of delivering some packages to Lagos
GThey both took their
properties
The man said he wanted nothing to do with the money
He told the man he was going to Lagos and had been waiting for transport money to get him there
So he needed the money
The man offered him a drive to Lagos
They got on the way discussing what they had both experienced
by the time they got to Lagos, the driver had given his life to Christ
The driver insisted his wife had to meet the Lord too (They had both been having issues and on the verge of divorce)
The driver drove him to his house at Agunlejika
He met the driver's wife and ministered to
her too
The driver and his wife both received the baptism of the Holy Spirit with the driver burning the demonic charms he had at home and in his car
There had been several incidents of that nature with him even as he grew in his walk with the Lord
The difference between those
incidents and the one he was experiencing was the discomfort he was feeling all over
It was as if his body was burning from within and his skin would melt off
He felt quite weak and his legs were like jellies but his eyes were quite open and attentive
He wasn't feeling drowsy or
weak in his mind
He just felt he needed to hurry up and get out of the house
It was the only thing in his head
Get out
Go!
Go!!
Go!!!
So he drove on and on until he got to a Health centre
His spirit honed in on the building
By the time he drove into the compound, he felt so weak
He could barely walk
The nurses that saw him alighting from the car took him straight to the emergency ward
He kept telling the nurses that he wasn't sick but he could barely stand on his two feet because his legs felt like jellies
He got the emergency and they laid him on a
stretcher
They didn't diagnose him with any illness
They took a sample of his blood and insisted on taking his urine
He gave them what they needed so that they will allow him to stay where he felt the Holy Spirit had led him to stay
Something was surely going to happen in that
health centre
They checked his vitals and discovered that was in perfect health
The doctor said, "It wouldn't hurt for you to rest here for a while!"
He told her he was not planning to go anywhere
The heat all over his body and the attending discomfort had gone and he knew the
Holy Spirit wanted me to be there
The doctor gave him a phone to call his wife
He called her and told her where he was
He slept off
His wife arrived and he told her he believed he was at the health center on assignment
She nodded
She gave him his phone
The battery was red
A few
minutes later, the phone died
He asked his wife to return home and bring him his laptop and the phone charger
When she brought them he charged his phone and started listening to music on his laptop
Then they brought this boy and his mother
The boy had been sick at home and the
mother rushed him down
to the hospital
By the time they arrived he was dead
He was in the room,
The time was 12:30am
That fire he was feeling all over his body hours before suddenly came all over him again
He started screaming AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA!
He woke everybody in
the hospital ward
The doctors rushed in thinking something had gone wrong with him
He ran out of the room to the dead boy and laid hands on the boy's chest
All the fire left him and rushed into the boy
The boy screamed AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA!
Everybody shouted
Jesus!!!
The boy's mother came to hug him, she also started shouting
AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA!
He, the boy, and the boy's mother started screaming intermittently
The entire hospital corridor where it all happened was on fire
The doctor and nurses were praying in tongues too
It was wow!
They all calmed down like 3AM
When he woke up, there was drip on
my hand
He was on the bed in the hospital ward
it was 4:00AM
The doctor said he was dehydrated
When last did you eat? She asked
He told her Friday morning
She said "Pastor, I cannot fault you for not eating but
you
need to be asking God for allowance to take something
for your physical sustenance"
He told the doctor it was the weight of the glory upon him that weakened him
The power of resurrection was working in his bones in a strange way
He told the doctor he was not one of those who kill
themselves with hunger in the name of anointing
He went to see the boy
The boy was on oxygen
They said the boy's heart was palpitating
He touched the boy again
The boy screamed
AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA!
He told them to remove the oxygen
The boy's heart rate was normal
Hallelujah
He said he wanted to go home
The doctor said no
You are now a patient under admission
You cannot go until you finish the drip and ate
other sick people in the hospital who witnessed and heard what happened started getting out of their sickbeds
Eight of them were discharged that
morning while others recuperated quickly
His wife brought me a sumptuous meal by 11AM
After eating, the doctor and nurses took him to their offices and he prayed with them
I got home at 12:32 pm
Exactly the time i left home the previous day
This event happened in February 2021

In 2008, I was a fresh graduate who found himself living in Lagos after having spent all my life growing up in Ibadan.
My first weekend in Lagos was terrible
There was a church directly opposite my older sister's flat
(She had relocated to the USA with her husband in 2004) and
had kept on paying the rent
That was where I got the effrontery to travel from Bowen University to Lagos after my final examinations
I had some money on me with which I could buy food stuff and I felt I would get a petty job to do before I got called up for NYSC
This church had
this crazy idea that if you dont come to their church or attend any church service on a Sunday, you have no right to rest in your own house
Their megaphone was directed at my window and they turned on the noise mercilessly
I was a believer but I do not support their irritating

The storm came upon her family suddenly
It was relentless
First it took her mother's last child
He was a sickle cell anaemia patient whose health had been managed carefully since childhood
He woke up one morning, ate breakfast and told their mother he was going to rest a little
more because of a slight headache
That was it
He was gone like a candle in the wind
She was at the office when her mother called her with the news
Her mother was distraught and broke the news like a bullet to the jugular
The news did something to her
After years of praying and
care
She could swear that it was because of his brother's health that she ventured into nursing
She loved his brother silly
It was a horrible way to see a young vibrant life come to an end
Her brother was just 22 at the time
She was thirty
The news numbed her
It was as if she

He was supposed to be a happily married man
His wife owned an NGO, she was also a good author
She bought him a range rover sport and a Lexus 350
She bought them a house in Lekki
She had a soft spot for people with special needs and her NGO was specifically tailored to meet the
needs of such people
They hold an event at Alausa, Ikeja every December where their European sponsors and Nigerian sponsors gather to evaluate the good work she was doing and the challenges she was facing
This program is a fundraiser that when well-staged opened the wallets of
her benefactors and kept her smiling to the banks
She was a beautiful woman
He was a lawyer
Her NGO was practically his only client
In other words, she was the cash cow
Without her, he would be penniless
Everybody knew this because he doesn't keep quiet about it
He loves his wife

I just walked out of a kidnapper's den.
I started feeling hot and praying in the spirit.
They already hypnotized me
They made me swear but i kept speaking in tongues instead of swearing
I'm calm now
I boarded a tricycle from fire junction Ijegun to Gate bus stop.
A man alighted
and paid in US dollars
The driver told him to pay in Naira.
The man explained that he was going to exchange money and doesn't know his way
He said was a Senegalese that came to do business in Nigeria
The driver asked us (I & another lady in the tricycle) to alight while he took
the "Senegalese" to change the money.
The Senegalese refused, claiming the driver wanted to isolate and rob him
I and the other lady volunteered to take him to a black market (back to Ijegun bus stop) to change his money.
He said some people had been collecting dollars from him

When we look at the scripture in Revelations 4, Revalations 5, Ezekiel 1, and other parts of the scripture where a prophet saw a vision of God or a vision of the throne of God, we will be shocked to see that throughout the scripture there was no sighting of a dove. Not even once!
We were made to see a lot of strange sights
A lamb, beings with eyes all over their bodies, beings with four different kinds of heads, beings with six wings, twenty-four elders with crowns, cherubs and seraphs, angels, a wheel within a wheel, a being with the form of a man that
looked like he is on fire, a throne made of lapis lazuli, a full rainbow (Rain circle) with beautiful colours surrounding a throne and so on
But never a dove
Not even a pigeon
The closest we got to any kind of bird in heaven was the description of the being with four different
