So an elderly man came into my DM asking for some help
He ended his plea by saying my son is your follower too
I checked the man’s son’s Twitter handle and comments and discovered he was one of those “trolls” who for no reason would jump on my threads and write unprintable stuff
It is such a shame that wise old men give birth to foolish children but it is not new
The wisest man before Christ was Solomon and his son Rehoboam was quite a fool
So I did what I ought to do, I gave this wise old man double what he requested for and told him to tell his son to
Chat me up on Twitter
This smart young man chatted me up with another handle
So he had a Twitter handle that was for decent conversation and another one for trolling and insulting people
To him it was all fun
I told him what I had achieved through Twitter and the social media in
general
I told him I might never have been able to know or help his father if not for Twitter and I could have refused to help his father because of his conduct, it was my prerogative, but I chose not to judge the father by the son’s conduct
He apologised
He is actually a decent
chap
Just one of those guys who get a weird sense of accomplishment from rubbishing others
He promised to do better and that was enough for me
Let me say this, I am very quick to block foolishness, I simply have no stomach for it but somehow I couldn’t bring myself to block this
young man (I muted him though) and I am very happy I didn’t block him because of how things turned out.
I tweet who I am and what I have inside of me and so do you.
…By their tweets you shall know them!

I once laid on the same bed with a lady, I wasn’t married at the time. I met her at a Christian gathering and she told me she wanted to build a website to support her business but she couldn’t put the content of the website together
She asked if I could help, I said Yes. We
exchanged phone numbers and she called during the week asking if she could come and see me
I said Yes!
She came around, I was living in a two bedroom flat at the time
I had a laptop
I had a fully furnished sitting room
I had planned that we would just conduct our business and
that would be that
It started very well until she got a slight headache and asked if she could lie down for a while
I pointed to the couch in the sitting room, she said “It was too close to the window”
She really looked distressed and I had no option but to point to the room

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 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!
