The Wings Of The Spirit
I was in church one day, during Sunday school
We were discussing the workings of the anointing of the Holy Spirit in the scriptures and in our days
Somebody mentioned Elisha
Somebody mentioned Samuel
We all agreed that these Prophets were anointed
Then a brother mentioned Archbishop Benson Idahosa
Another brother stood up and said Archbishop Benson Idahosa was not anointed
I asked him why he said so
He replied, "I used to live in Washington and Idahosa used to come to the church I was attending to minister, one day I came to Nigeria to see my parents in preparation for my wedding
When I was going back to Washington, I got to the airport and realised that I needed 200 dollars for my journey
I had the money in my American bank account and could issue a cheque but I needed cash for the journey
My relatives had dropped me at the airport and left
I needed help desperately
Then I saw Idahosa on the same queue
He was travelling to America
My heart leapt for joy
I walked up to him and explained to him that I needed 200 dollars
Do you know what he said?
He said "Please go and talk to my PA, I am not carrying any money on
Can you believe that?
Was he not supposed to drop everything he was doing to attend to my needs seeing that I might miss my flight?
How can you say someone like that is anointed?"
Wow!
I wasn't the one teaching the Sunday School class but I stood up immediately
The man who told the story was in His 60s
He had developed a tunnel vision as a result of his personal encounter with the Archbishop and as a result still couldn't see the glory several years later
I never met the Archbishop Benson Idahosa, I never met Kenneth Hagin or Benny Hinn
I didn't need to yet I have replicated and reproduced many of the dimensions of faith and the supernatural that I heard them testify about on tapes or in their books or even watched on TV
I kept my heart open to be inspired and I didn't take offence in them
The day I read the testimony of building materials increasing supernaturally on the site of the Archbishop's church building construction, I decided to start building churches (not to Pastor them) but as a gift to struggling pastors ans believers in rural communities all over the world
We have built 13 of such so far
We have never stopped for one day on any of the building sites and we have never had to stop a project for another one
While we build, we continue to run ministry and life with an abundance of resources
The shocker is "We don't have a physical church where we collect tithes and Offering or raise funds for building"
When there is a need, I announce it (not for the benefit of men but for the benefit of the ministering spirits working with us in ministry so that they can know what our agenda is and the time frame we have to meet all needs"
It has never failed!
I know this audacity of faith and power is not for everyone
I post these things here for the benefit of that one minister who will one day look through my timeline and be inspired to do better
In 2020, October 1, we bought out first Hiace bus within 6 hours of birthing the vision to take the gospel from village to village
6 months later, we bought another coaster bus because the first bus was too small
Two months later we built our first give away church and continued until we built one in the Philippines
The current project we are doing is 177 days old
We have built a 510 seater Auditorium, all materials and fittings bought and we have built a male and female hostel to lintel level and will complete the building within the next one month
Our pace is supernatural
Our resources limitless
As a young minister you must note that your interaction with the world is independent of your walk with God
Don't be concerned at all about people's opinion
They have nothing to give you
Sooner or later they will be in your DM begging for one thing or the other
Remember this and stay the course
Remember this!
You must however testify of the goodness of God publicly
Don't listen to those who tell you to shush or apply wisdom by keeping it quiet
Your testimonies are not just going to annoy some people, they will also build up others and encourage them
Most importantly, it keeps the World conscious of the moves of God in the realm of men!
Be immovable
Be unshaken
Be resolute
Be provoking and audacious
This is the way of faith
This is the path of the supernatural at every level
May God bless and increase your ministry
