Some years ago I was a vibrant brother doing very well in church but pastors always felt threatened.
The first church I attended, I was there for 9yrs before the pastor called me and sent me away. I didn't steal or sleep with anyone but great testimonies were coming from church

members and I guess the pastor didn't like it. I discovered when you yield yourself to the Holy Spirit, He does things you can never imagine. I cried for many days and after a few weeks went to another branch of that great well known Ministry. I kept to myself but no matter how

you do it as a believer, your fragrance would bring you out. The pastor told us one day that "don't expect to grow and display yourself on the pulpit in this church and I knew he was actually talking to me because the day he said it was the same day the pastor that sent me away

told his congregation that the brother that I sent away thinks he will be given a chance to express himself where he is but it won't happen.
When I heard that I put two and two together and
decided to stay at home and after a few weeks, I started a house fellowship and people

were actually coming from other cities including my brothers from another religion. If i had known what I know now, I wouldn't have stopped but a few months later, the Coordinator of that great Ministry in my country started calling me
He said he didn't want my gift to go waste

I later joined the church and that was the end of the house fellowship. I was like a pastor there because the coordinator was always traveling to other countries for ministrations
After a few years, envy came from members that were there before me, and one day I just woke up

and stopped going to church. All these events happened between 2001 and 2015.
I have been called by other people to come and minister in their cities but had no church and there was one thing the Holy Spirit kept telling me, I'm raising my end time army.
In 2019, my childhood

friend told me about the Brother in Jean and t-shirt (Gbenga Samuel Wemimo) but I was a bit reluctant to check him up on Twitter and in 2020 she reminded me again and told me to read his stories. I started reading his stories and later got a link to join the WhatsApp group. The

first time I heard him teach, I was convinced in my spirit that the waiting is over. I registered for the bible school PSSBC.
GSW in his teachings makes you realize who you are in Christ. I had to unlearn so many things and learn new things and still learning. I can't afford to

miss a class.

I celebrate you my brother and teacher. Thank you for opening our eyes to the Gospel, thank you for reintroducing the Holy Spirit to me in another dimension. Thank you for yielding yourself to the Holy Spirit. Thank you for your passion for the kingdom.

Thank you for teaching me. God bless you Sir
I LOVE YOU MY BROTHER.

This message was sent to me on by a brother I love very much
I posted it because I have questions
1) Why do some church leaders frustrate the growth of fellow believers in the church?

How do we expect to raise a church devoid of envy and worldliness when church leaders are themselves full of such things
3) What is the solution to this challenge?
4) Why can't members grow to the point where they start their own ministries in your church?
