The plan of God for my life was laid bare to me on the 30th of September 2007. I was in 300 level. One of the chronic poor students in a school designed to accommodate the children of the rich and highly influential. The school was officially on break at the time but I was on

Campus as a fellowship leader to help lead devotion and hold weekly fellowship meetings for the students on campus.
The chaplaincy paid those of us who volunteered a stipend for this assignment
It was summer school
I was the only student in an 8 man room
It happened right in the

Middle of the night
What many would call “receiving the call”
I couldn’t call it that because for me it was more like a continuous wave of supernatural experiences since I gave my life to Christ on the 17th of September of the same month.
The supernatural just flowed on and on

I didn’t eat for many days and I was not hungry
It was as if I was cocooned or caught up in a glorious atmosphere of wonders and glory.
The joy in my heart was stupendous, I had changed in such a way that cannot be described
I’d know things ahead of time, like I’d know the phone

Was about to ring before it rang and who was on the other end of the line and sometimes I’d also know the conversation!
My girlfriend who was in the University of Ibadan at the time was sleeping with another guy and I saw myself in Awo hall, walking up to a particular room and

Seeing her naked. She was reading a book titled “Kummersdorf Connection” a red novel. Her “smash partner” was lying down with his head on her laps, fast asleep. I knew his full name instantly.
It was so real, like I was right in the room!
Then I came out of the vision and called

her line
She picked
I said you’re in room so and so, with this guy called Tunde whom you have been sleeping with for over 6 months.
She screamed and said “So you have people spying on me”
I didn’t even reply
It was so spot on that she couldn’t deny it
That was the dimension I was

In at the time
Most people can’t understand it! (So if you don’t, just shrug and read on)
My mother had been sick for a while at that time, most people were expecting the worse
She had high blood pressure, heart palpitations (she had been using a drug daily for this for many

Years) and arthritis
She was often being rushed in and out of the hospital
I had been very worried about her
That was one of the reason I didn’t go home for the summer break, I knew she worried a lot about me and how I’d pay my fees and graduate and the out of sight thing usually

Worked wonders because she wouldn’t see how bony I had become due to hunger and fasting!
The Holy Spirit opened my eyes to see her that night
She was the first sight I saw, walking with one of her grandchildren in a park in the USA.
It was the future, her future!
Then the Holy

Spirit said to me
I have raised you as a teacher of teachers in this generation
To solve deep puzzles and mysteries and help the feeble knee gain strength
I will cause the rivers to bend to you and many shall drink of me through you and become enlightened! He said so much more!

My mother travelled to the USA exactly a year later
All my siblings too apart from my younger brother
They all kept urging me to come over
“Let me file for you” said my mother when she became a citizen through a fast track system
Let me file for you said my sisters!
My oldest

Sister went as far as to get an immigration lawyer to see to it
I turned all of them down.
Things were pretty difficult at the time, I was earning so little and traveling abroad seemed like the only way to start over and thrive!
But I refused to stand in dispute to the heavenly

Vision
I know what I am and what I had been called to do
I didn’t know when and the how
I know the why
I prepared for my season of unveiling with great joy and expectation
Sure enough it happened at the right time.
When I see folks who face some frustration in life writing here

On Twitter that people should find the first bus to Niger, or Ghana, or lome, or Benin, or Gambia or abroad (anywhere but Nigeria) I laugh
How is that ever the solution to life’s stress?
I have friends located in countries all over the world!
I know the tears and the sorrows!

There is nothing like living your life to fulfill the purpose of God!
Many do not know the purpose of God for their lives, so they are tossed here and there by the elements of this world
Today this job, tomorrow that business, next tomorrow, they want to travel. They just try

Things out!
A life of trial and error
That life is not for the believer
We live a life that had been clearly spelled out by the Holy Spirit!
Your path and curves had been written in the volume of the work!
A believer is not just a number or statistics!
Your life is divine and

Ordained
Imagine the meticulous plan of Jesus for Saul of Tarsus. Ananias was in Damascus and the Holy Spirit gave him the name and address of Saul (How meticulous)
Cornelius was given the location of Peter by the Angel.
We were placed where we are by the Spirit! Moved to do His

Will at all times.
Do not live your life like a sheep without shepherd
Many do this and their lives end up broken and shattered
You belong to a flock, you have a shepherd, be mindful of this.
If he bids you to travel, please do and if he bids you stay in Nigeria, please do!

Don’t allow the gale and the wind of time and chance to take you to a place where you will become irrelevant to the plan of God for your life.
Always remember that you didn’t join a religion when you gave your life to Christ. You received a life that is guided daily from glory

to glory by the Holy Spirit.
Let the Holy Spirit lead you from today, yield to Him in all things.
Learn from Him and please follow his voice!
A young prophet was once deceived by an older one and he lost his life for it
Don’t be lured away from your destiny by fear mongers!
