This is to say a big thank you to you and the ministry sir
I dont know where to start from
I was called into ministry in 2014 at the time I was in
the United States, studying software engineering
The Lord showed me where to go and when to go there
As soon as I graduated from the
University, i came to Nigeria and started the ministry
Everything was going as planned until i decided to get married
One lady came to serve at the location where I was and i took to her
She liked me too in her own way
We talked about marriage and she was happy to be with me
We
got married in June 2018
Then this pressure started out of nowhere
She wanted me to return to the city and get a job
She wanted me to employ a pastor to man my post so that i can be of greater use to the ministry financially
It is true that i had a lot of job offers at the time
I tried to convince her that we will be fine but she said the only thing that would make her happy was for us to move to Lagos
She was very unhappy with life at the location where i was
After some arguments and bitter fights i took up a job in 2019
It was a very good job with a
multinational and i was earning
about 3 million naira monthly
We settled down in Lagos as she wanted and i began to visit the ministry once a week or twice a month
I employed someone and i dedicated fifty percent of my salary to the ministry
I cannot say I understood what went
wrong sir
We both had cars and money in our accounts and we were fine
Suddenly my wife left in November 2020
I went to work and returned home to meet her "I want a divorce" note
Then the pandemic happened and I lost my job
I was sick for many months and after two surgeries i had
lost all my savings
My fellowship with the Holy Spirit had long fizzled out but i ignored it because i wanted to please my wife
I returned to my place, to my Bethel, to build all over but it was as if the covering of grace had left me
Indigenes who would usually embrace me and
shower me with love and support kept away from me
Many members of the ministry had left
The man i hired to pastor on my behalf started his own ministry and they moved with him
I had to start all over
Nothing moved with ease
Everything was tough, even to feed was hell
A friend
introduced me to your ministry a few weeks ago
I joined your September Communion service hoping for a sign from God
You said the Lord told you to give the offering to one ministry
I wasn't even expecting that i would be the one
Three days later, you called me on the phone and
told me to send my bank account details
I did and you sent me all the offering you collected at that service
I was able to pay the church rent, buy a generator and fix the roof that was leaking
And much more than this, it was as if the covering of grace returned
immediately
A day after i received the money, a fellow pastor who had met me at a retreat in Ede came to see me
He asked that i join him to minister at a NCCF fellowship
After the meeting, the landlord called me and told me not to pay rent again for the church
Then some of my old members
came back and Brother Gbenga, we now have 121 members worshipping with us as at last Sunday
I am in tears sir, you are my Father, my covering and my helper
How God saw it fit to lead you to me is still a wonder to me
Thank you sir

Pastor E

I asked the Holy Spirit a question yesterday
I was half asleep and half awake, eyes closed, mind active
A thought came to me
It was about the building at Yaba, a building my former boss (A Pastor) asked me (his PA) to visit in order to restore some form of order.
I got to the
Office late that day
I met my boss and this woman
The woman happened to be his immediate younger sister
He heard that she had left her husband’s house with their four children and instead of moving to another house, they moved into a church
My boss assumed that the pastor of the
church had done something to tinker with his sister’s brain
My boss said it was his sister’s husband that called to report that his wife had abandoned him for a garment wearing pastor
So my boss called for a meeting and the sister showed up with her four children
The oldest was

Why do many believers disdain the supernatural? Why do we behave like Esau, the sense ruled man who despised his birthright?
A friend got a new job recently, before taking the job he made his findings and was told the CEO was a wicked man who fired anyone who dare consult for
another firm or individual while under the employ of that company.
He is an auditor and had a lot of private clients before taking the job. He called me yesterday morning to talk
He said he got a 250k gig in Abuja for this Saturday. A friend had invited him to come do a job and
the duration will be only one day but he does not want to lose his job, so he declined the offer
I said “Did you talk to your boss about it?”
He said “No, I was told he would fire me on the spot”
Did you even speak to the Holy Spirit about this?
He laughed and said “I am not

When I left my former church, I made up my mind not to allow anyone from that church to move with me to the new church I was going to be a part of at Surulere! This was February 2020! Before I left, the pastor blessed me and said “You have grown bigger than this assembly and we ImageImageImageImage
Can all see it!
God will go with you as you fulfil his calling over your life
I love this man of God and I made up my mind not to decimate his church in anyway
Within a week, a lot of people showed up in Surulere
We are moving with you sir, they said!
I was the minister in charge
Of the choir (I can’t sing o but I am full of the Holy Spirit and the choir was transformed under my watch)
I was also very instrumental to the move of the Holy Spirit in that church.
I told everyone that they should please stay away from the new church, I have no intention of

In 2018, a widow gave me a call. She said “Sir, I want to give you a house, you can live in it, sell it or rent it out!”
The call came in by 5:30am, the Holy Spirit said to me, “She needs help” so I waited till 9am and called her
I said “The Holy Spirit said you needed help”.
She
said “Yes, I won the house from the state government and I couldn’t get a tenant so I felt the Lord wanted me to sow the house as a seed
I said No!
The Lord wanted me to help you put the house in shape and get you a tenant.
You need the money
(I was earning 60k salary at this
Time and I was living in a rented apartment
(I could have seen it as a breakthrough of sorts but I know the Word and I am full of the Holy Ghost)
Why would I lose that advantage over someone’s misguided seed sowing mindset due to one pastor’s wrong teaching!
Within a month the

If you ever come to my timeline here and you don’t see a testimony (The kind that will blow your brain and turn your mind inside out)
You should really burst into tears because it means the gospel is a lie and we have all been scammed.
The GSWMI team pray practically all day
We read the Bible, we intercede, we give to the needy and meet needs of strangers on our timeline without asking anything of anybody
We don’t go about insulting or snooping into people’s timelines looking for arguments
We practise Christ everyday and consistently
We are full of
Joy as we dispense the verities of Christ.
There was a time GSW was the only one sharing the testimony of what the gospel is doing through him!
Now after training and training every night for two years without taking a break for just one day, we have over 30 ministries doing the

There was this case that was brought to me, weird stuff
This woman had two children in the 80’s and then started having a series of miscarriages
Her mother got worried at a time and took her to one spiritualist for help
The spiritualist gave them a banana tree and three other
trees to plant in their compound
He promised them within three months, she would be pregnant if the banana tree and other trees are well planted and thrives in their compound
They got to work immediately, digging out the concrete floor on one part of their government compound and
They planted the trees
The trees grew and she was pregnant three months later
She delivered a healthy baby girl
The girl is brilliant and very beautiful
She grew up to become a medical doctor
That was the success story on the surface
Behind the scene however, she is a seriously
