What you need to know as a young minister

 



I'll share a story about my early days in Ministry. I have been a good teacher for long. In 1994, I was already teaching, people fall under anointing in my meetings. But I was hidden. I have grown in the teaching anointing to some level now, I'm beginning to mature in it.


People said that I overstayed in the wilderness. 

It is better to stay longer and allow God move you than to take off like a tornado, not mastering how to handle the opposite sex, how to handle money, how to handle fame, or how to coordinate yourself in front of a president and bring prophetic word to him, you don't know when to go or not.


Stay low and make your mistakes. It is God that will announce you at the appointed time.


Minister Theophilus Sunday noticed the ministrel grace in his life in the year 2006. And some of you just heard of him like 2 years ago. He has been ministering to God for 16 years now.


Anointing is grown through process, through obedience, through alignment. It takes great effort to align to the government of God.


One day, I preached a message not as anointed as I used to, and somone heard it. He gave from his treasures. I did not go to beg him so my dignity was intact. God touched another person and so on. 

When God wants to announce you, you won't know the means he's coming with. BE FAITHFUL.


People waited for me to fail, to fall but none of it happened. A new season was opened because I was faithful to Jesus.


I want to encourage someone out there: 

👉🏽Don't transpose

👉🏽Don't equate numerical strength of the church to money.

👉🏽Stand to your mission, know what you are called to do.

👉🏽Understand that you won't live here forever. It's what you do in TIME that will echo in ETERNITY.

👉🏽Be a faithful steward.

Devoted or Distracted?

Image
We are becoming more and more distracted these days. There are so many things vying for our attention that if we are not careful we can quickly become disengaged. It’s hard to walk down the street without being bombarded with signs and billboards trying to sell you something. These advertisers are trying to convince you that their product(s) will actually save your life, save you time, or save you money. And how about the gossip magazines, and the last-minute ‘must have’ items that are strategically placed where you can see them while you wait in the checkout line at the grocery store? These things are not only distracting but can add additional money to your budget that you never planned to spend, causing you to go over your budget. In church on Sundays , you will see people sitting next to you with his or her iPad. The moment they walked in – and most time they always come late, they will pull out thier iPad and start flipping through it, and had it out for almost the entir...

The Witness Box

Image
A young lady committed a crime and she was sent to court. The punishment for the crime was life imprisonment. She shed tears for help but to no one available for help. When the case was called in court she started weeping. Her family and friends who accompanied her started weeping but there was no hope. But something happened. Before the young lady could stand in the witness box a man stood up and the court room was silent. Everyone looked at Him. He was noble and gentle. He stood in the witness box and interceded on behalf of the woman. The case was difficult, yet He used all His strength, energy and resources to fight on behalf of the woman. After a long legal battle between the man and the accusers, the lady was set free. The lady fell before the man and asked 'WHO ARE YOU' The next day the lady deliberately committed another crime and was sent to the same court. As soon as she entered the courtroom, she saw the man who interceded for her the previous day on the judg...

Do you even need Jesus?

Image
Ever wonder why someone you don't know will stop you on the road and tell you sir/ma, Jesus loves you and with a gaze in your eyes you will be like "i know!" or sometimes you say "that is not my business right now" some people will even sit you down and start narrating the bible to you on why you should accept Jesus but deep inside of you, you start asking yourself some questions like do i even need Jesus? I'm doing fine in school, i'm married, blessed with good job and lovely children and everything seem fine and all right. Do you know that the more success you attain in life, the more of God you need?  The devil is so dangerous that he doesn't want anybody to have peace of mind knowing fully that you will be able to serve God comfortably.  That is why the bible describe him like a roaring lion roaming about seeking whom to devour. The devil is so diligent in his work that he gives you no reason to accept Jesus knowing fully that He's...
