We were having Night of glory in September 2021. It was an online service and I was to minister. Thirty minutes to my ministration I got a call from a despatch rider that he is waiting for me at the hotel reception and I should come down to collect an order someone made for me!
I wanted to resist the urge to go down because coming out of fellowship can destabilise one sometimes but I felt the urge to attend to it immediately. I team out of my room and dashed into the elevator.
I got to the reception, received my package and got back to the elevators!
Usually I prefer to ride the elevators alone because I don’t wear face mask and it could make people uncomfortable but this time I was in a hurry
I saw a couple, they were getting on the elevator and I decided to jump into it with them so that I’d make it back to my room on time
To minister
The guy looked at me and said “Brother Gbenga…
They were going to the third floor and I was going to the sixth!
I greeted him
He began to pray in tongues
They got to the third floor and the elevator stopped
He took some money out of his pocket, gave it to the lady
And told her to go
I was puzzled
He said “I came to see you with my wife when we were struggling to get pregnant!
You prayed with us and one year later you dedicate our baby
I am based in Abuja and I am here for a seminar.
Wow!
I didn’t ask him who the other lady was!
I was in a
Hurry!
I held his hand and blessed him and I left
The concierge on that floor came to investigate what was going on because we didn’t let the elevator move to the sixth floor as we talked. He too began to speak in tongues and I had to lead him to Christ.
Finally, the brother
alighted and I left for my room
I got there with five minutes to spare before my ministration and today he sent me this message
Glory be to God!
PS: I have spoken to this lady, she will be fine and her life will be transformed!
I contested for the post of the president of my department when I was in 200 level
I knew I might not win, but I didn’t do it in order to win, I did it to make a statement
Nerds were supposed to be glued to their books and not be moved by other things going on in the society
that was the norm
I was a first class student and yes a bookworm but I was also by far the most popular student on campus at the time
I was organising tutorials at my own free time and I was a campus fellowship executive
I also believe at that time and I still do that there was
no better candidate
The 300 level students protested, they knew I would win and they decided they will not take my insolence lying down
They went to meet the staff advisor for our department and protested to him
He saw reason with them and called me for a meeting
He told me to
I shared a testimony with my driver today, I believe some of us may also learn from it
When i was 29, I was made a youth pastor in the parish I was attending
The youth church organized an event but i made the mistake of not following protocol or informing the main pastor about
this event
I can sometimes be spontaneous especially if the Holy Spirit gave me an instruction, i keep it close to my chest and ensure that Nay sayers do not get a wond of it until it becomes a force that nobody can toy with
The programme was a worship and healing service, we
needed to rehearse for the former and we expect that if we delivered as led by the spirit the latter will happen
I gathered the youth, we started rehearsing, one of the ministers heard and told the church pianist not to join us anymore since we are the youth and the guy was being
I was invited to minister in Ghana in 2019 by Christ Hospital Ministry, we had a vigil in my parish the night before I travelled and I announced to those who came for that particular Night of Glory that I will be going to Ghana.
I couldn’t go with the ministry that invited me
because they travelled by bus and left two days earlier
As soon as the vigil was over I was driven to the airport by @ObaJaiyeoba (He was at the meeting)
I got to Ghana and met a lot of my brothers and sisters from Twitter, I even had a family fellowship with a glorious family
that has now become like mine.
I left Ghana on a Sunday and reported back to my office as a PA in Magodo phase 2.
When I got to church the following Sunday, a brother was leading the Fresh Fire service, as I was about to get into the service the brother said “Those who went to
Happy Sunday everyone, I will like to show us something quickly
I find it as an aberration.
I recently came across the phrase “Feet of clay”
The white people made it up and they bungled it’s meaning based on scriptural terms
According to the rule of communications and meaning
They got it awfully wrong.
They interpreted “Feet of clay” to mean a fundamental flaw in a person, especially one that is reverred.
For example, a man of God who was expected to live at a certain high standard and didn’t due to human flaws or character flaws
When they did this,
They displayed a lack of practical wisdom and understanding of the word of God
The term actually came from the vision of Nebuchadnezzar in Daniel 2 and Daniel 7
Many believers or Christian teachers wrote articles about in which can be found online
They are all wrong!
I say this
Someone called me today, the person saw my last two threads and wanted to engage me on them
Then the person said “Do you know there is a special bond between pastors and lead female ministers in the choir?”
I said “Hmmmm”
The the person said “I know for a fact that Pastor this
Sister that, (a very popular music minister from Nigeria were having sex
This was what led to the man’s divorce, his wife said so)
I said “I have followed this pastor for many years, his wife said nothing like that!”
Then she said “Well, you know women usually keep silent in
such cases
I said “This pastor’s wife is not one to keep quiet and I think you know that”
Then she said “I saw it in a dream!”
Just like that!
She saw it in a dream and that was supposed to be irrefutable proof that would nail this man?
This year began well, we made declarations and we are seeing the power of the Holy Spirit working in us. And you, for retweet and without any evidence whatsoever decide that you will start the year writing a thread about a pastor who did nothing personally to offend you…
Because he is the hot topic of the day, you had to have a go!
Now you have people retweeting and commenting but they wouldn’t have done all that if you had been wise enough to investigate the matter and expose the truth or keep your mouth shut.
When will you learn not to be the
undoing of your own rise by keeping your mouth where it ought to be?
If a pastor is doing evil, expose him and ensure that it is done from a place of love
I do this often, without remorse, especially because I love the Lord and cannot watch as a thief or hireling misled his sheep
