Zachariah

I had an encounter in the Bowen University 
library in 2006, I wasn't even born again then! 
The chaplain asked those who desired to 
be executives in the Students fellowship to 
fill a certain form. 
I indicated my desire but I was staying in 
the final year student's hostel at the time 
and wouldn't be effective as a leader 
because I wasn't staying with my peers 
(I was in 200 level at the time). 
Many of the graduating executives wanted 
me to be among the incoming executives 
for one reason or the other, but I didn't 
make the cut. 
That night, after praying with those who 
made the cut, Brother Debola Aderibigbe 
(BSF Osun Conference President 2006) 
came looking for me in the library. 
He was coming from the prayer room and 
he was extraordinarily charged. 
He asked me to follow him, I left my books 
immediately because I have a lot of respect 
for that brother. 
When we got to a courtyard just outside 
the library he asked me to kneel and 
he laid his hands on me! 
He began to pray! 
I cannot for the life of me remember 
anything he said. 
He spoke in tongues a lot and 
blessed me! 
When he was done, he took off like Elijah
I got on my feet and turned to get back 
into the library! 
And Whoosh! 
The air in my tummy gushed out through 
my ears and mouth! 
I look up and saw this Angel, my left foot 
was up in the air to climb a step and 
the sight pushed me backwards! 
I stumbled and almost fell! 
Then I made a mistake! 
I wanted to scream! 
I opened my mouth and in the motion, 
the angel placed a finger on his lips and 
said "Shhh" 
I became Zachariah 
I discovered my voice was gone 
All the while the angel was smiling and 
pointing to my right 
I turned in the direction of his finger and 
I saw a huge sight, like a huge opening 
in the wall or a giant TV! 
Beauty and light, people and colours with 
hands lifted singing Holy! Holy! Holy! 
That was what I saw! 
The people were everywhere, over 
beautiful hills, mountains and valleys 
and standing on rivers and seas and 
everywhere
The vision lasted about a minute, then 
it lifted and the angel was gone 
I went back to my seat in the library 
I laid my head on the table, considering 
all that I had seen! 
David Sowemimo@dafidimimo 
(My biological brother) came into the library 
He saw me and walked towards me 
I wanted to greet him but words refused 
to come out of my mouth 
I wrote to him "I just saw an angel and 
a great sight" 
He read it and his face lit up but I didn't 
say anything about my voice 
He must have assumed I wanted to be 
alone! 
He spent a minute around me and walked 
away! 
I left the library as soon as he was gone! 
I wanted to lie down and pray 
I had presentations and I needed my 
voice back 
I had started panicking in my head about 
my voice but I had joy in my heart 
"God is real" I had always asked for 
evidence and I finally got what I believed 
convicted me of the realness of God! 
(I had doubted since I could reason for 
myself. I can't say why) 
When I got to the hostel, I found my 
roommates there 
I didn't want them to know what happened 
Many of them were unbelievers (like I was) 
and would most likely laugh me to scorn! 
So I laid on my bed and prayed silently! 
When it was around 9 pm 
I saw Debola Aderibigbe in my room 
He came to check me (Second time in a 
few hours) 
I wrote on a piece of paper what happened 
He laughed and said I should follow him 
We went to Rev. Ayuba's house (It was 
close to the male hostel)
Rev. Ayuba laid hands on me and started 
praying 
It took about fifteen minutes 
He said "Now speak in Jesus name" 
I opened my mouth, I started speaking 
in tongues! 
Tongues that scattered everywhere and 
made anointed people of God fall flat on 
their backs! 
There was a power surge
It hit everywhere! 
Kayaaaaaaaaaaaaa! As I type this my 
body is hot and my head tingling! 
That glorious power had been made 
available to us in the SON 
I started speaking in understanding about 
30 minutes later 
Today I reflect on His love and Yes, his 
faithfulness! 
Jesus loves me

PS: There was no way i could have been
a good "powerless" Christian
I tried that thing
Boredom almost killed me
I was so idle that i couldn't stop 
misbehaving
Even football fans have more passion
for their football clubs and players
than powerless believers have for
the Lord and the gospel
You need this power
You need to be filled with the Holy
Spirit
