Day 5 of our construction work on the church we are building in the Philippines! The secret to my breakthrough in life started innocuously in 2018. I was attending a church in Ogudu at the time. I had some money and I noticed the altar of the church was getting old and ragged
so I called the church’s admin and asked him how much it would cost to change the rug on the altar and light up the church
He gave me a heavy bill, this bill required that the altar be changed entirely because the wood had gotten old.
I didn’t bat an eye lid, I changed everything ImageImageImageImage
I didn’t do it so that God can suddenly give me miracle alert. I am not that kind of Christian. If it was my biological father’s house, I wouldn’t have left it undone
I did what I did with great joy and gladness
What happened afterwards shocked me. People started reaching out to ImageImage
me asking me to help them with their church rent and church repairs
Widows would send me messages asking me to help them out with their situations
Students too and orphans, it was crazy!
I turned to God
“Sir, what is going on here sir?” I asked
The Holy Spirit said “I am leading
them to you. I am entrusting you with the resources to meet their needs”
This promise has proven to be so true!
I have been a part of rehabilitation, rebuilding, repair, and building from the ground up several churches in Nigeria.
The means was made available to me by the Holy
Spirit
I find myself surrounded by like minds who knew the importance of making fellowship easy for believers in poor communities.
I do not build to own or Lord doctrines over the church, I build and hand over the church to the glory of God
Again, I am calling for support on this
project
If the Holy Spirit has ever called you to build a place of worship for him or asked you to support mission work or to be a part of setting up worship centres in rural communities
Please send me a DM or a WhatsApp message on 08072744871 WhatsApp and be a part of this
project.
When I was rebuilding that altar, I never knew a day would come when I will be part of a project in another country.
All we have to be is available and God will use us.
Thank you

In 2019, I met a lady here on Twitter. A precious soul. She sent me a DM about some of the life issues she had been facing in her life and especially in her twelve years of marriage
She had just recovered from a surgery at the time and the doctors told her she would be going
Under the knife again for another
She said “My troubles started when I decided to take the route of assistance conception in order to have a child”
The doctors carried out some tests in me and they discovered I had fibroid, I was counselled to have a surgery and I did. After the
Surgery they discovered another thing in my Fallopian tubes and yeah another in my ovaries and yet another in my uterus.
As soon as I was recovering from a surgery, I was being prepared for another!
I had surgeries both in Nigeria and abroad and yet I had no child to show for it

One of my friends asked me how I was able to build a house in 8 months during the COVID-19 pandemic! I told him I saw a church building project at Kwara in December 2018 and I gave all the money I had on me towards it. By June 12 the following year, I moved into my own house!
I was earning 60,000 naira salary when I built my house. The building phase was so smooth that the only time I ran out of cash, the builder continued to build it with his own money saying “I don’t want your project to suffer any delay because God has blessed me since I started ImageImageImageImage
working on your project.
Since that time I have committed myself to helping communities without churches to build to the glory of God.
I am asking all those who are nudged by the Holy Spirit to send me a DM, let us finish this Philippines project together. There is a joy and a ImageImageImageImage

The last time I saw my father, it was a season of lamentation. He returned from the USA empty handed after almost 20 years of hard work
He came to take up a post at a private university in Nigeria
He was 68 years old at the time
He was given the post of Lecturer 1 at the school
because he was able to produce his Ph.D certificate from Heidelberg University but unable to produce his M.Sc certificate from the university of Ibadan
He didn’t have a house of his own and even though he prospered at a time, things turned sour and he became
the butt of everyone’s joke among his siblings.
I was at this time a Personal Assistant to a pastor, I was earning 60k as salary, I had two children, a wife and a Toyota Camry.
My daddy came to my house to rethink his appointment with this school
He felt the owner of the school

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

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
