Revealed Glory
The first driver I employed in my
life was employed in July 2020
I employed him for my wife
He came highly recommended and
he spoke highly of himself too
I had always believed in trusting
people and treating them as God
treats us
Anyone who has ever had an encounter
with me will testify to this
I worked once with a pastor who treated
people very poorly
Whenever i remembered how he treated
his staff members, including me, I felt
like retching
I have nothing against him personally,
i believe he didn't know how to do better
but I was determined never to
treat anyone like that in my life
God valued human life above all else
I am like God and i will value what
He values
This driver resumed and was a calamity
from day one
He wrecked my wife's car twice
On both occasions, I had to buy two
new tyres, two new shock absorbers
and pay for repairs
I paid his salary on the 20th of every
month
He ate at my table
I never asked him to account for the
wrecks
Not once did i say "How did you drive
and where were you driving to when
this wreck happened"
I would just thank God nobody was hurt
and call the mechanic to go and sort it out
My wife was in the car when one of
the wrecks happened
I trusted her judgment and she never
for once told me he was a bad driver
Then the ministry bought a bus in
October and he had to drive our CSR
team to Lekki
He had a minor accident with the bus
He didn't even mention it when he
brought the bus back
When i saw it, I decided i would fix it
There was no need to ruffle feathers
over something so minor
I overlooked it
Then we went to Alata Village in Ibadan
for our October 17th Outreach
On our way back to Lagos, my brethren
on the bus called to inform me that
the bus was overheating
I turned back on the expressway and
drove back to where they were
This driver had forgotten to check on
the water in the radiator and when the
passengers noticed the strange smell
and smoke coming from the engine
they called his attention to it he ignored
them until the engine switched off by
itself
We had to tow the bus to RCCG Camp
while I found an alternative means of
transportation for God's people
We all slept in the RCCG Camp overnight
and chartered a bus to Lagos for service
the next morning
I still didn't sack him
The bus couldn't be attended to for about
ten days because of the Endsars protest
and a series of curfews in Lagos State.
Eventually, the company that sold us
the bus showed up and everybody
pointed the evil finger at this driver
They said all sorts
He had damaged the engine badly
Everybody said i should sack him
I kept thinking of his wife and children
I kept telling myself a bus is a thing and
the man is God's image
I must not elevate a thing above a
human being
I overruled everybody and kept him
The repairs cost me over a million Naira
I was the one that sat with the
mechanics and accommodated them
on the camp premises throughout
He didn't even call to say
"How is the bus, sir?"
I took it on the chin
When we went to Abuja for The Gathering,
we had to charter a bus to the airport
and another to pick us up from the
airport
It was painful but I had to swallow it
Then we bought the Coaster bus on
November 11, 2020
My brother drove it home from the point
of sale
I told the driver to take me to a mechanic
workshop within the RCCG Camp with it
to affix the number plate when it was ready
and also to service it
He drove for over thirty minutes without
releasing the hand brake
When we got to the mechanic workshop,
the mechanics started shouting that
something was smelling like a burnt
clutch
So I asked him "Mr. Henry, did you
burn my clutch?" He said "No sir, it is
the hand brake that I forgot to release"
I overlooked it
Two days later, he was bringing me to
Lagos I was busy replying to messages
on my phone
I looked up and I was on the expressway
facing oncoming traffic
He was taking one way!
I asked him why he was taking one way
He kept quiet
I told him to turn and do the right thing
He turned
I overlooked it
Two Sundays ago, we brought the bus to
Theikos Doxa Evangelical Mission to
present it to God and make it available
for God's people's use
He drove it
When we were going back home in the
evening, he drove into a Lagos Paragon
bus all by himself
He destroyed the driver's side door,
the headlight, and so on
I was on the bus when it happened
I saw everything I had to conclude he
was not feeling well and needed help
When we got home he took his food pack
and jumped down from the bus from
the rear exit because his own door
wouldn't open
He started to leave
I shook my head and called him back
I said "You offered no explanation and
you didn't even bother checking the
damage since it happened!
I was in the bus and saw you run into
that Volks Wagen bus
You didn't come down to check it out
Now we have gotten home and you
didn't bother checking it too
Do you know how much I spent on
the Lexus after your two crashes?
Do you know how much I spent on the
Hiace bus after the overheating issue?
And now you have crashed the coaster
bus
Chai!"
I didn't know when tears streamed down
my face
I felt so foolish
He said "I will come tomorrow so that
we can take it to the mechanic"
After he was gone, I posted on Twitter
that i needed a driver and I also
announced on our Whatsapp platforms
We got one in the interim that resumed
the following day
Henry didn't call that day
On Tuesday, Henry called asking me
what the itinerary was and when he
was to resume
I told him i have employed another driver
I counseled him to get medical
assessment and ensure he was as fit as
fiddle before driving another person
I sent him some money for this
He called me later that evening but
after greeting me, he couldn't say
another word
I kept quiet too, waiting to hear him out
The silence went on for about a minute,
then he cut the call
Last weekend, we got two drivers
One resumed on Saturday and the other
on Sunday
Both are believers whose relationship with
the Holy Spirit seems strong
Suddenly, I found myself in a place of rest
The driver's issue had bothered me more
than i expected but the able
hands around me handled it and took it
off my hands
Finally, i was able to spread my wings and
fly in His presence
The choir sang "Olorun Agbaye O, you
are mighty"
The word of the Lord came expressly to
me that within seven days miracles, like
we have never seen before, will
break out among us
The whole church said AMEN
Monday morning, the testimonies started
rolling in
By Monday night, the Holy Spirit decided to
do another wonder for GSWMI
Ladies and Gentlemen, can i announce
that we have acquired our own Land!
It was done between 8pm yesterday and
8AM this morning
The money started coming in by the power
of the Holy Spirit in the most unexpected
manner
A word of prophecy was triggered into
fulfillment by His power
In all this, i am a passenger and the
announcer
Indeed, there is Nothing Olorun Agbaye
cannot do! Hallelujah
PS: This year has been the year of
the Revealed Glory for GSWMI as
promised by the Holy Spirit in 2019
This year he gave us an office, a church,
bought buses and now we have our
own land Within the next 7 days,
I declare that your mouth shall be
filled with laughter in Jesus name.
Amen
