Power pass power

 Power pass power

      Sometimes in 2017 I boarded a bus from Ibadan enroute Ilorin. The Holy Spirit told me to declare the word. I was a bit reluctant and afraid because there were Islamic scholars and clerics in full regalia as passengers in the bus. The more I looked at them the more I became afraid. I decided to look at Christ and I found courage to declare the word of God. In the process of preaching the gospel one of the Islamic scholars flashed me a silver ring. I have never seen such a big ring with quranic inscription on it. As I was preaching he kept pointing his finger to me but to my amazement as he was doing this the anointing of the LORD became so great on me in a way I had never experienced before till I finished the gospel and I prayed together with them as I led some to Christ. After the ministration the Islamic scholar kept looking at his ring as if it had failed him. I smiled within me and tell my self that power pass power.

            The gospel is the power of God and we should not be afraid or ashame to declare the gospel anywhere we find ourselves. Whatever your fears, God is able to quench it if you are willing to allow him preach through you to others. No one can tell the efficiency and power of the gospel in converting souls. Yours is to say it and God's work is to change their hearts.

The earth is the LORD'S

                 The earth is the LORD'S

               Sometimes in 2016, I was evangelising door to door in ogbomoso Town. On that particular Saturday I was moving and it was as if Holy Spirit was in front and I was following eventhough I have not been to those places before. I eventually entered a stronghold of a Sango man in his full attire and his wife was with him in a relaxed mode. He was very furious to see me in his presence. At that moment too I was scared I did not know that the Spirit of God was leading me there. In his anger he asked me: "who give you the order to come here and did I realise where I am" At that instant the Holy Spirit filled me beyond measure and I replied him that: "The earth belongs to the LORD and the one who owns the earth have sent me to share the gospel with him". He was dumbfounded, shocked and astonished. I declared the word of God to him and prayed together with him for the salvation of his soul.

                  Witnessing to souls require walking together with Holy Spirit the soul winner. Do not wait for him to tell you all the details of what you will encounter before you step out to declare the word of God. If God had told me that I should go to a sango priest, I would have gone on several fastins and prayer but he did not tell me that because I am not the one witnessing but Christ in me. The Holy Spirit is always there to help you each time you find yourself in a difficult situation while witnessing. Just be led by him and he will always give you victories.

"Put down your hand, You are not yet a father"

                  "Put down your hand, You are not yet a father"

                  Sometimes in January 2019, I was in Haggai institute leadership training for pastors in the seminary. During the course of the training, one of the facilitators said all fathers in the meeting should kindly raise up their hand and I did. A pastor at the back suddenly tapped me from behind saying: "Pastor Bola put down your hand because you are not yet a father" .

I was dumbfounded and astonished at his response. Many thoughts flood my mind. Having married for about 3 years and my wife had two miscarriages and just two weeks to the time of that meeting she had still birth. I came to that training by faith only to be remembered by a pastor that I am not yet a father. I summoned courage, I kept my hand up and acted as if I did not hear him.

          I got home wounded in my spirit and went on my knees. I cried to God and pleaded for his intervention. Twenty nine months later the Good LORD  answered my prayer and granted me a child. 

              God will not allow his servant to be put to shame. The moment people start using your reproach to ridicule you, God is set to do a miracle. He work with his own clock and not yours. No man can say you will be childless until your end is seen. No man can say you will die without your own house until your end is seen. No man can say you will be a failure until your end is seen. Keep praying without giving up and in his own time he will settle you in a big way.

And the Word met opposition (2)

 And the Word met opposition (2

                Sometimes in 2011 in a car from Ibadan to Ago Iwoye. The Holy Spirit prompted me to preach the gospel and I obeyed. An Islamic scholar was in the bus and started saying you are disturbing me. Kindly stop this. I press on preaching before I knew it he brought out his laptop and began to play certain Islamic recitations at a high volume. I kept on preaching later after about few minutes he began to scream in pains and holding his head. I did not even look at his side I kept on preaching the gospel till I declared the whole message of God and I ministered with a great prophetic anointing in prayer. After the prayers there was a silence even the Islamic scholar fell into deep sleep.

             Devil is a bastard and he is an expert at blocking and resisting the gospel of our LORD Jesus Christ. It takes the power of God to silent him and overcome him. Whatever the opposition to sharing the gospel, face it and be courageous in the power of the LORD.

And the Word met opposition (1)

 And the Word met opposition (1)

             I  was in a car moving from  oko to ogbomoso.The car was coming from Osogbo and almost filled with students. The Holy Spirit prompted me to declare the word. I started to preach the gospel suddenly one man told the driver to stop me from preaching the gospel. I didn't act as if I heard him, I continued to declare the word. Few minutes the guy started shouting" I said stop". Before I knew it he became wild and was about to lay his hands on my neck and stiff life out of me. At this point his hand got stiff. He just couldn't do it. I continue to preach the gospel. After the preaching, I prophetically prayed for them all and their was a resounding amen from all the passengers. The man became more distressed after the prayers.

        Devil is good at opposing the preaching of the gospel but as  a witness or an Evangelist you have to be "headstrong" and "stubborn" in the Lord for you to be victorious over his tactics. The moment you open your mouth to declare the gospel no man should stop you or angels except the God that prompted you to preach because he is the one speaking through you. No matter the opposition the word of God cannot be caged and it will be preached till the ends of the earth.

"He was shocked"

 He was shocked that I was an university student

          Sometimes in 2008, there was a strike and I was at home. I picked up my bible and went to Dugbe Market and I began to witness the gospel from shop to shop. In one of the shops opposite zenith Bank. A man saw me he looked at me, despised me and said: You better go and find job to do, all your mates are in school but you are carrying bible preaching all around. I responded back by dipping my hand into my pocket and brought out my university student identity card and showed it to him.The man was extremely shocked and I left him.

The day I was almost lynched (2)

 The day I was almost lynched (2)

                 Last week Saturday I was on the streets of Ibadan preaching the gospel House to house. I entered a street, I began to witness, I witnessed to an old man, he accepted the gospel with joy, asked questions and was willing to repent from known sins as we prayed prayer of commitment together. Immediately after witnessing the gospel I saw a teenager playing with his phone. I walked towards him and began to communicate the gospel with him. Unknown to me that some group of women about seven saw me. One of them who claimed to be the mother of the teenager I was witnessing to came and took the boy away. He said the boy did not need to hear the word of God. I was simply dumbfounded before I knew what was happening she had instigated other women against me that I am a  kidnapper who had come in the guise of a pastor. Within minutes all the women went out to pick up their wards inside. I left there and move to the other street. I saw children about five playing, I joined them and witnessed the gospel to them. Unknown to me that the women from the other street were following me, they disrupted the gospel and forced me out of their area with shouts:" thief!" "Kidnapper!" As I was leaving, men had mobbed me desiring to know my mission in their area, I explained and to my amazement they believed my report and I walked away peacefully without anyone touching me while the woman that led the revolt was still shouting he is a kidnapper get him. I was not discouraged I moved on to another place and declare the gospel and to my surprise again the word of God broke the man's heart and accepted the gospel. From there again I moved to a shop and witnessed the word to two Jehovah witnesses and they also accepted the gospel. 

               Devil hate the gospel and he is in the business of frustrating God's servant. He knows the word of God cannot be frustrated but he can do all he can to frustrate carrier of the gospel. As an Evangelist or witness do not be discouraged even if you are called negative names for gospel sake still go ahead and preach the gospel. The gospel is the light of God in a dark world. No matter the rage of darkness, it can not overcome the light of the gospel. #100billionsoulsforChrist
