 Chapter 01
PLEASE, CORRECT ME IN LOVE IF YOU
THINK I AM LYING AGAINST
LATE ARCH BISHOP BENSON IDAHOSA.

A bout 85 percent of ministers in Nigeria today have

seen late Arch bishop Benson Idahosa in their dreams
once or twice? There is hardly a man of God I have
met that have not told me the encounters he had with him. I
mean, even as he has died many years ago.

My first encounter with him was on my birthday in 2006. I was

just getting into Christ newly then. He came with some faces
of men and women who have ran their race and left the scene.

He gave me something like a stick and said to me: "HERE IS

THE BATON, BUT GET READY FOR THE BATTLES...”

My hands were shaking and he was laughing. As he tapped me

at my back, I woke up. Several times after that time, I have
also seen him. Last week, a man of God called me for almost
one hour, telling me how he has been seeing late Benson
Idahosa in his dreams.

And I am asking myself, that: "Among all the anointed men

and women of God that lived in his days, why is it him that
God chose to be using to encourage young men of God in their
dreams or revelations?”

Friends, there must be something this man did that we are not
doing. There must be some kind of prayer this man prayed that

1
we are too lazy to pray. This man must have seen some part of
God my generation have been so distracted to look for.

Lord, please show me what You showed this man that made
him an eternal excellency and the joy of many generations.
Many years after he has gone to be with the Lord, his life is
still impacting people. Please, Lord, Give me the value my
generation alone cannot finish eating from.

Give me OIL that will benefit the generation that will be here
200 years after. Distract every distraction Lord and help my
weaknesses. If you used Papa Idahosa in that capacity, I know
there is a search in heaven now, for men and women who will
pay commensurate price in the place of prayer. To walk in
dimensions unknown to men.

Please, Lord, interrupt us from this pursuit of vanities. Bend

us at all cost. And please, use us. So that even after we have
died, we will still be 'alive'.

I'm one of those praying this prayer. We can't only shout Fire
and die and our children will have nothing of eternal value to
say about us. There are more prayers to make sir. Some of us,
God told us that we are going to become the next Benny Hinn.
But because we have gotten tired in prayer, we have settled in
the little manifestations we see during our village crusades.

Where is that woman reading this? God told you that He is

calling you into ministry to carry the kind of Fire only men
have ever carried. You were doing well before. But now, you
have grown cold in prayer. Can you go back to those days you
used to pray and fast?

Man of God, please, you are too young to enter church

politics. Leave them to keep dragging who will carry bags for
big men of God in your denomination, so that they will be
2
posted into big churches. Go and hide somewhere and look for
God. When you find Him, both those carrying bags and those
they are carrying bags for will know that you have found
GOD.

Lord, I am ashamed of the times I have wasted defending my

doctrines. Let them win the arguments. But please, don't leave
us like this. Give us FIRE.

Friend, if that is your prayer too?

Then, let us pray!

 Chapter 02
THIS IS THE ‘NAME’ OF THE MAN GOD
REVEALED THAT WILL TAKE THE MANTLE
FROM PAPA UMA UKPAI.”

W hen Papa Uma Ukpai was at your age, he was

praying for 8 to 10 hours everyday. But you can't
even pray above 1 hour daily.

When he was at your level in ministry, he was preaching

without sleeping in hotels. And sometimes, without
honorarium. But when you preach, you rob people of their
cars and landed properties.

You and your host fights in the hotel room everyday while
sharing the money you raised from his gullible members. And
yet, you want God to make you have weight like Uma Ukpai.
And every day, you run to Uyo and sow seed into his ministry.

Anywhere he is ministering, you rush and take pictures with

him. And come back home and start living a prayerless life.
You go to program and still continue to rob people of their
salaries. Man of God, stop wasting your fantasy.

The mantle Uma Ukpai is carrying doesn't belong to him. He

does not have the right to give it to anyone. That mantle is for
separated men and women. The man that will carry that man's
mantle in this generation might never meet him till the day he
will finish his work and go to be with the Lord.

The person that will carry his healing grace in our time might
not even take pictures with him. That man might be
4
somewhere today crying day and night. Not for money, not for
fame, nor for members. But for God to use him in any way He
wants to.

Others are looking for Uma Ukpai. But that man is looking for
the God that made Uma Ukpai. Some are bragging with the
pictures they took with UMA Ukpai. But that man is
somewhere now, bragging with the bruises he has gotten in the
place of prayer, in search of the God of Uma Ukpai.

Don't get it twisted, friends. There is nothing wrong travelling

to see a man like Papa Uma Ukpai who God has singled out
among his equals. A man that drank raw acid and God
converted it to tea, to the amazement of the assassins is not a
joker in the game of the spirit.

A man that lost his children in a day and watched them drown
to death has paid a price for the grace he is manifesting. There
are many demons receiving punishments in hell today
because they ran away from communities the day Papa Uma
came to minister.

A man that has carried the power of God for decades deserves
to be honoured. If you know where I can see him, tell me and I
will go there now. But sir, the God that made Papa Uma Ukpai
is not in Uyo, Akwa Ibom State. That God is not a respecter of
persons. That God is everywhere. That God is on our knees.

That same God said that we shall seek Him and find Him when
we seek Him with all our hearts. That He will make us an
eternal excellency and the joy of many generations. That what
bows to Him will bow to us.

That God does not want to make us to be like Papa Uma

Ukpai. But greater than him. As that God is in heaven, so shall
we be on earth.
5
The greatest joy Papa Uma Ukpai will have is if the coming
generations will grow in power and in the love of God more
than him. He Will be happy when what could not bow to him
will begin to bow to us. But there is a Price to pay. Friends,
there are still more prayers to make.

Anybody can carry microphone. But very few among us have

touched some parts that has given them pages in the chronicles
of God.
There is no short cut to power. Forget the gospel of the crown
without the Cross. Pentecost without pains is a scam. There is
nothing like Majesty if there are no wounds and scars. Let
them not promise you power without self abandonment. Any
manifestation that did not come from the altar of separation
will evaporate when it is needed most.

Lord, please, help us to pay the commensurate price for the

OIL You want us to manifest to our generation! Destroy
lethargy and laxity. Save us from the comforts of our beds and
separate us from appetites that has refused us to fast the way
we used to.

Man of God, I am among those praying this prayer. The God

that made Papa Uma Ukpai is still looking out for another man
to make. Is there anyone ready to pay the price?

Let us pray!

6
 Chapter 03
BEFORE YOU START PRAYING FOR
SPONSOR FOR YOUR MINISTRY,
THIS IS WHAT TO DO.

I f God brings sponsors to you for worldwide crusade now,

do you have the anointing to heal the sick they will bring
to the crusade ground?

Or will you go there to start preaching the messages of Pastor

Paul Enenche you listened to?

You don't have money. You don't have anointing. And you
don't even have any friend around that motivates you to fast
and pray in search for the supernatural. All your close friends
are those who hangs around Facebook involving arguments,
from morning till night.

The only place they advertise knowledge is when it gets to

insulting elders in faith. Is it not better you announce your
withdrawal from ministry and face other businesses, so that
you will excel there massively? If they bring a dying child to
you now, do you have the anointing to save that family from
burying the boy? Or will you allow that child to die?

Man of God, the visions God showed you are true, but you
have a part to play in bringing it to pass. God is waiting for us
to grow in character and in power. The level we are now in the
miraculous is not enough for Him to release the financial
helpers we need. There is something MORE He expects from
us. And there is a price to pay for it.

Now that they are saying that God didn't call you. Some are
even saying that God is not with you because your church is
still in rented space. Sir, this is time to look for God.
7
If the money comes now the way you want it, you will become
too busy to pray. If you are finding it hard to pray now that you
have less than 5 people to counsel everyday, what will happen
when you will have 100 people to counsel daily?

If you can't pray and fast now that you are not married, what
happens when you are married? God can use this time of lack
and want to add OIL to your life. Stop celebrating the level of
manifestation you have been on since last five years. I don't
know about you.

Something is burning in our hearts. There is something some

of us are looking for. And I bless God that daily, I meet men
who have abandoned all in search of this same thing. They are
tired of 'horn speaker' anointing.

How can we watch our neighbors going to native doctors for

help because we have nothing that looks like the supernatural
to pass across to them? And yet, we are online forming
superstars.

May God bring men your way who hates shadows without
apology. May He connect you with guys who have no eye on
anything less than the power of God. This is time to pray for
anointing. Don't bother about your mockers. The shame you
are suffering should send you back to your knees.

Not only for God to give you money. But for Him to give you
something money cannot buy. Trust me. When the power
comes, everything else will follow. That delay is on a mission.
May we not misuse it.

In Jesus Name.

Let us pray!

 Chapter 04
THIS IS THE MESSAGE I 'PREACHED' AND
THEY SAID THAT I WAS INSULTING
BISHOP DAVID OYEDEPO.

S ome have read all his books 3 times each. They have
been in all his meetings. They were there in Ota, 1999
when Shiloh first started.
They have received mantles he prayed on by himself.

They have sown seeds of cars and cash. But yet, there is
nothing around them that looks like the glory Papa is
effortlessly manifesting. Tell them to go to Proverbs 18:1.
That is where the mantle they are looking for is waiting for
them.

It says: "Through desire, a man having SEPARATED

himself..." You have been in the crowd for a long time. That is
why you have not converted all your encounters into realities.

God has been trying to separate you from certain people, so

that He can have unhindered access to your life. But you are
afraid of what people would say when they see that you and
them no more flock together. It means that you are not ready
for glory yet. Stop sacrificing your assignment on earth on the
platform of ministerial relationships God wants you to
suspend or abort.

During ministers conference, you can only get the

handkerchief of the man of God. He might call you out of
thousands of people there and give you special prophecy. He
might even give you his suit to put on.
9
But after that, go inside and hide somewhere and start looking
for God. If not, you will not see any trace of glory. I have seen
the enlargement picture of you and all the great men of God in
our time in your office. But why is it that what bows to them is
not bowing to you? Sir, its time to separate yourself.

David prophesied. Saul also prophesied. But the difference

between the both of them is that Saul prophesied from the
platform of association, while David functioned from the
realm of separation.

Saul loved hanging out with happening ministers in town.

While David loved being alone with God. You and I knows the
result their ministries had. I wish someone reading this will
cry to God to help him separate from whatever that is blocking
him from God.

During vigils, God releases His fire for everyone. But in the
place of separation, God releases Himself to someone. Most
of the errors I have recorded in my ministry was due to
association when it should have been for me time for
separation.

Many times, fear of the cost of separation pins us down in

terrible association that breaks God's heart. But sir, whatever
shame or hunger that is there to suffer for the sake of
separation, suffer it. It will soon pay. It is not everyone that
was lucky to survive the banqueting in Egypt.

Many never recovered the OIL on their heads which they

sacrificed on the table of 'pleasures of the moment'.

If the OIL will not cost you anything, it will not lead you to
anywhere. I am a Price preacher because, I have seen it with
my eyes, that truly: "No man taketh this honour unto
himself...”
10
There are certain areas of your life that will never encounter
glory until you separate. Some of my boys and girls have gone
to hide. Some of them have deactivated their Facebook
accounts and deleted every number from their phones that is
stopping them from encountering God.

To the glory of God, we are not raising people who are online
24hours insulting people hunting for likes and comments,
engaging in doctrinal arguments, which ends up in malice and
bitterness.

I was taught how to lose argument but not to lose attention in

the place of separation. And that is what God is helping us to
pass across to our few followers. And the news of the
encounters I am hearing from them is too much for this
generation not to take note of them in the fullness of time.

I wish you will stop this busy body you do and look for
encounters. Because it is no more far when people will get
tired of hearing what you are saying now. They would have
started looking for where they will listen to men that have
listened to God in the place of separation.

Have you not bothered why God did not appear to Jacob while
he was with his parents? Why will He wait to meet him in the
howling desert before He appeared to him? Why do you think
God did not send an angel to go and change his name while he
was in the crowd, in Laban's house?

But he waited until he was left alone. Friends, I dont know too
many bible verses, but the little ones I know, I try to squeeze
out wondrous things out of them. As long as God saw Jacob in
the crowd, He didn't show up. There is a level of depth you
will never enjoy in Christ until you are left alone.

Shun this cliquing going on these days among unbroken

young ministers who are struggling too hard to prove a point

11
that holds no eternal relevance. Go and hide and look for God.

Maybe I should be the one to tell you that why those friends
suddenly turned to passionate enemies is because God needs
your full attention. Let me now tell you that why some of your
helpers suddenly started avoiding you is because God wants
to see you more often than men sees you.

Can I tell you that why that relationship did not work out is
because God have seen that you have been distracted enough?
Now, He wants you to give Him time to fine tune what He has
started in your life.

The man you are running after separated himself for months
and, if not, for years, before he got what he is carrying for his
generation. And one man of God somewhere is telling you to
pay him money so that he will lay hands on you to carry what
he is carrying.

What a blasphemy!

If you are afraid to lose men, you have already lost God. Until
you are ready to be left alone, there is no change of name for
you. Network. Make friends. Connect with people of like
minds. But you need God more than you need men.

You need encounter more than you need contacts. You need
Oil more than you need honorarium. International exposure
cannot make you a Voice. But when God makes you a voice,
international community will start placing demand on what
God has given you for your generation.

There is no man that has ever represented God's unusual

dimensions on earth that was not a man of unusual separation.
Feeble men like us know not how to go begging men to like us.

We were 'cheated' from the foundation of the world, that we

12
dont know how to do sycophant job for people, so that they
will start inviting us following us. But we were blessed to
understand early that if you are carrying anything for your
generation, you must love separation.

Allow others to keep bragging with how many pulpits they

preach on daily. Let them keep boasting with how many likes
and comments they have on Facebook. Go and hide and find
God. A time is coming when it will be impossible for this
generation to ignore you.

I am talking to you, ma. I am talking to men like me whose

heads are carrying heavy prophecies that must not be delayed
further. I am talking to those who have followed great men and
women of God faithfully throughout the years, and it seems,
nothing is coming out from it.

Are you ready for separation? May God separate you speedily
from whatsoever and whosoever that is separating you from
Him. If it takes hunger. If it takes betrayals. If it will take
loneliness. Lord, if that is the cost for the OIL You want us to
manifest in our time. Please, give us grace to pay it in full.

Bow your head and, let us pray!

13
 Chapter 05
ANYONE WITH USEFUL INFORMATION OF
HOW TO TRACK THIS CHRIST EMBASSY
PASTOR DOWN SHOULD PLEASE TELL US.
His name is Amaechi Udeaku.

W hen he was a campus pastor in Abia State

university, Uturu, severaly, God used him to heal
many students of ashtma, diabetic, partial
blindness etc. Many people said he was wasting his time in
school, doing church when he should face the studies his
parents brought him to school for.

Some said that he was not born again, because he was treating
his hair. He was practically the most castigated campus pastor
in school then. But yet, he was the only campus pastor in our
days in school that cultists were afraid of. Because they have
seen several boys who went to attack him with all manner of
weapons. Yet, without any arm, he spoke to them and on their
own accord, they dropped their guns and began to beg him for
forgiveness.

Students who were serial rapists and arm robbers were more
afraid of him than they were afraid of the police and school
security put together.

If you go to night clubs and bunks where students drink and

smoke, they will be talking about him. If you go to those
surrounding mountains where cultists keep their bloody
meetings, they were talking about him. Some randy lecturers
who were victimizing girls who didn't agree to sleep with
them were afraid to touch any of the girls that belonged to
Believer's Love World. Because they were afraid of the
prayers of Pastor Amaechi.
14
Other students were so obsessed, looking for every means to
have the highest grades, but he was looking for anointing. Yet,
as an architecture student, he graduated with one of the best
results in their department.

Who said it is not possible to look for God while looking for
good grades in school? Who said those who carry fellowship
matters on their heads are carry over - bound students?

I am a witness that God can use a student to manifest

incredible glory in the school campus. Ask anyone that was in
ABSU from 2003 till 2008, He was the talk of the town. Yet,
he didn't allow the praises of men and the aspersions of
enemies to deter him. The more people criticised him, the
more he grew in power.

I 'lost' one of my guys to Christ Embassy when we went to see

with our eyes this Pastor Amaechi everybody was talking
about. As we got in, during the ministration, he said:

"There is a banking and finance student here that came to see

if what they said about us is true or not... You are having a
tooth ache that has lasted for 3days... But God is healing you
now...”

Immediately, my friend fell under anointing, stood up 15

minutes after and was totally healed of that tooth ache that has
made him not to eat for over 3days. You dont know what it
means for a young man that doesn't believe in both God and
anointing to stand up, in the midst of service, shouting.

That was how that guy started following Christ Embassy, till
today. We never saw him in smoking bunks and drinking
joints again. He totally surrendered to Christ.

Still during our first year in the school, I took a girlfriend there
for their praise night. As pastor Amaechi was ministering, he

15
said: "There are 30 female students here who have been
having severe mensural pains before they came... The power
of God is healing you finally now".

Many ladies fell under the power of God. The girl I took to the
program didn't fall, but the next day in school, she told me that
she followed me to that program with so much pains. But the
moment pastor Amaechi made that utterance, she felt a cool
breeze all over her body, and that was the end of that pains.
And till we graduated from school, she became a pillar of
Believer's Love world, the campus ministry of Christ
Embassy.

Our set in campus was the most rugged set, because all
manner of depraved students were offered admissions who
were expelled from their different campuses for cultism and
murder cases. They were admitted massively into ABSU that
year. Number of female and male cultists were too much.

Guys were competing with the kind of guns and dynamites to

bring to school for wars. Every now and then, students were
being raped and killed in cold blood. You wake up to see
corpses of fellow students littered all over the places.
Dynamites and all kinds of explosives were being seen in
school that the police had not even seen before.

For a student to stand against cultists and challenge them that

time was so risky. But that was when Pastor Amaechi used to
challenge them and tell them to come and meet him if they are
bold. And severally, when they tried him, both their guns and
their juju failed them and they knelt down, begging him for
mercy.

He didn't grow in such power and anointing because he was

preaching and rapping English language like Pastor Chris
Oyakhilome, but because he was looking for God. He was a
16
prayer addict.

I am writing to those who are still in the university. You can

still manifest the power of God in your Campus. Your fellow
students can still be afraid of you because of the tremendous
grace you manifest in school. You must not be a pastor. But
you can still preach in your department and God will use you
to demonstrate incredible dimensions of His power.

I know you have all the powerful and wonderful messages of

Apostle Aroma and Joshua Selmain. I know you listen to
Pastor Paul Enenche and Apostle Johnson Suleiman. Please
don’t stop there. You need a prayer life.

God is looking for someone among all the students in your

school that will do mighty things for Him in that school. Will
you be available or do you just want to graduate from school
and leave without any one saying incredible things about your
role in the move of God in that campus?

More than 10 years after, Pastors Amaechi's name is still being

remembered in ABSU. Not because he graduated with good
grades. But because he stopped the mouth of Lions and by his
hands, mighty things were recorded to the glory of God. You
can be the 'Pastor Amaechi' of your school.

Are you ready? Then, let us pray!

 Chapter 06
LORD, GIVE ME BACK MY YESTERDAY!

I miss the days when my pastor use to give me assignment

to go to Eke Okigwe market and preach for 3hours and
warn me not to come back until I convert 10 people to
Jesus.

I miss the days when I will be forced to be awake every

midnight praying, because if he calls and I didn't pick it on
time, he will know that I was sleeping when I should be
praying and I will be punished for it.

I miss the days when my pastor will send me to some houses

where there are sick people and he will tell me to start praying
for all of them one after the other. And I dare not leave there
until I call him to tell him that all of them have been healed.

I miss the days when I will be praying and fasting for God to
touch my pastor to give me at least 2 days to allow me go see
my people during Christmas season, yet, sometimes he will
decline.

I miss the days when he will call my name before the few
members and pronounce me suspended. I will start sitting at
back seat, just because I came to church 10 or 20 minutes late.
He knows that I use to wake up very early and come to the
church to bring out the generator, the speakers, the musical
instruments and chairs, wash the church and still rush back to
get ready for service. But he didn't care.

People will come to church to see me sitting at the back seat

and they will be wondering what I did. It continued until God
will touch his heart to lift the suspension.
18
I miss the days when he will send some youths to me, giving
me deadline of when he wants all of them to start speaking in
tongues, that the next time he asks me about them, he wants to
hear them preach to him. So that he will know how much I
have taught them. And that he wants to hear that hey have
healed, at least, five sick people each.

Everyday I was labouring in Word and in prayer for God to

help me grow so that I will have enough to give those guys. I
really miss the days when he will have deliverance cases, and
he will call me out and ask me to pray for the people. And if I
fail to deliver the people, he will take over and God will use
him to deliver them. Then, after service, he will give me
punishment, to pray and fast for one week.

And he will start using me to preach for weeks. How Iyke is

always the first person to arrive to church and the last person
to go, yet, I could not handle small demoned possessed girl.

Friends, many times, I got ashamed. Sometimes, I got angry.

If they invite me to preach anywhere, I will happily come to
tell him. To my disappointment, he will refuse. And tell me
that he want me to follow him to a preaching engagement that
same day they booked me for the program.

When that day comes, he will take me to the most interior

village in Okigwe, IMO State and we will go and start
preaching to people inside their farmlands.

Some time, we will just be preaching into the thin air.

Sometimes, we will win one or two people to Christ, after
spending a whole day there. When we will be coming back,
the kind of happiness on his face will make me wonder if he
has mental problem.

But he will tell me: "Iyke, if the trees have not listened to you,
19
nations will not want to listen to you... It is these bushes here
that will serve as witness before God that you have paid your
dues...Until these leaves of trees hear your voice, you can't be
a voice...”

Thank God for the spirit of humility that was baptized on me.
If not, I had many times I got tired and wanted to leave. Thank
God for my elder brother, Rev Stanley Oriaku, who often calls
me from his missionary field in Benin Republic, advising me
to remain there and suffer.

Sometimes, when I go into town, people will not recognize me

again. Because I had gone lean and unkempt. That Iyke
Oriaku that use to wear designers no more see even second
handed clothes to put on. I didn't know that God was using that
man to kill every trace of pride and vain glory in me.

If I had entered ministry the way I was when I left the streets,
trust me, I would have been among the most terrible ninjas on
the pulpit today. There are people I see today, I know that they
were never under any leadership. There are others I see today,
I will know they were boss when they were serving under
some authorities. There are other people I see I know that they
were mentored by big preachers they see only on television.

Trust me, some men of God might never make impact in

ministry. Because they were never broken before they started
travelling around for programs. If no one has ever used you,
trust me, God will struggle a lot while using you.
Unfortunately, some of us thought anointing was enough and
we became General Overseers.

Now that we have seen that the chips are down, that is why we
have a lot of young boys who are using juju power to do
ministry. They want 'mami water' to pay for what they lost in
the place of service.
20
If I have my way, I will go back to that church and serve that
man again and let him embarrass me before members once
again. Speaking with him few days ago, I was almost in tears.
Because I realized that if not that man, there is nothing I am
becoming today, that would have been possible.

Help me beg that young man that is looking for who will put
his face on poster to go inside the bush and preach to animals
before he starts looking for governors to preach to. King Saul
does not need the music ministry of any man that has never
sang to animals inside the bush.

Tell that boy that is looking for big church where he will go
and shout fire. Let him go to village stream and shout that fire
to people who are going to hell from there. Tell that young
lady that wants to start dragging microphone in big cathedrals
to go back and start singing in that choir where there are just
3members only.

Forget the noise going on everywhere. There are things God

gives a man in the place of service. There is something God
makes men in the place of service that Bible Schools can never
make that same man.

We have been around for sometime. We have seen men that

got anointing, ran into bible schools, came out and became
General overseers. Some of them are begging around for
pulpits today. They are tired of the 'papa and mama' people
call them.

We have seen those that can sing very well, as they grew up
waiting for invitations to minister in big churches. They never
submitted their voices under a ministry. Today, we can see the
difference. They still sing only in wake keeping and burials.

It is not easy to wait. It is not easy to watch those you are older
21
than insult you in the name of choir rehearsals. It is not easy
being the only person your pastor will be attacking more when
you make any little mistake.

There is grace for that, sir. I know you have prayed for fire and
power. Please, also pray for God to give you that grace to wait
in the place of service. David had that grace. Joseph had that
grace. Moses had that grace.

Elisha had it. It is grace that makes insults to sounds like

compliments in your ears. My brother, we need it, else the
flesh will push us out of the place of preparation and sponsor
us into a ministry of lifetime in error.

I am talking only to those like me who are not in a hurry to

'blow' in ministry. I mean those that wants God to take His
time and prepare them, no matter under which condition. If
you are among us, may that grace find its way into your life
now.

In Jesus Name.
Let us pray.

 Chapter 07
MANY OF TODAY'S CHURCHES AND BIBLE
SCHOOLS MAY NEVER TEACH YOU WHAT
PROSTITUTES TAUGHT ME YEARS AGO
ABOUT THE COMING WORLDWIDE REVIVAL!

I slept in the bushes for weeks and, sometimes, months. I

lived in forests where they buried cursed people. We held
meetings in burial grounds and cemeteries, under the rain,
dancing around naked, not minding mosquitoes and other
insects.

Sometimes, some of us were bitten by scorpions and snakes.

And for those who were not lucky to survive the poison, a
shallow grave of three or four feet was dug and an emergency
funeral ceremony organized for them. And the meeting
continued as if nothing had happened!

Nobody was paying us for our exertions. All we wanted was to

be dreaded in the neighbourhood. And there we were paying
demonic prices just to be able to wield demonic powers. We
were in every party and club. We were dreaded at home and
everywhere. Parents warned their children not to follow us.
The police were always looking for us.

Our parents and siblings were always arrested by the police

for crimes we committed. By so doing, the police hoped to
pressure us to come out of hiding. We were popular in police
cells, and yet we did not see anything wrong with that. It all
becomes quite clear when the Bible says thus at Isaiah 44:18 –
''He hath shut their eyes that they cannot see and their hearts
that they cannot understand...'’

23
After I gave my life to Christ, I needed to transfer to Jesus the
zeal I had for Satan. I needed to be surrounded by men and
women as well as boys and girls who were zealous for God's
work. Unfortunately, in the church I was attending then, we
were gathering every Sundays and midweek to pray for
money, to fight our enemies and to sow seed for visas and
contracts and marriages.

Everybody needs money, of course, and the good things of life

it makes available. But money was the last thing I needed at
that time. I needed where someone would give me some
exposure and teach me how to look into my friend's faces and
tell them: “Jesus loves you; repent!”.

But, alas, all I had around me were people who were attending
church only because of what they were expecting from God.
They were often afraid to disobey the pastor but not afraid to
disobey God. They were ashamed to participate in
evangelism. And yet they were respected in the church.
For a long time after I joined the church, nobody preached
about winning souls, or turning one's office into a healing
center. The messages of all the guest ministers were about
how to sow and how to reap. And the testimonies all those
guest preachers shared were of how people sowed and reaped
millions within a few weeks.

As good as these things are, I needed to hear about the power

of God. I had seen satanic powers, executed Satan's agenda
and seen how far fellow young people could go for demonic
activities. I wanted to hear testimonies of how some youths of
the church invaded some ghettos and shrines and turned them
around for God. I was tired.

I saw the same people whom I met on the streets, and were into
prostitution, singing in church choirs. From the choir seats
they would go back to their brothels. When they removed their
choir robes, they donned prostitution attires. They paid tithes
regularly and punctually, bought anointed this and anointed
that. Yet, all the messages we were hearing every Sunday were
24
those messages that only centred on money and more money.

They were in church, not because they loved God but because
they wanted people to see them as Christians and recommend
them for marriage.

There were no messages of salvation. Consequently, there

were no penitence, no conviction, no tears, no decision to
serve God and no revival. Members went to church with
charms in their pockets, went to the well-decorated altars to
drop their offerings and went back with their charms because
there is was no more any convicting power in the altars.

Sadly, very little has changed since then. The only power we
have now is the power to make people to sow all they have, but
not to make them forsake their fraudulent businesses and sell
out to God.

Shame on all of us! Shame on the churches which people are

zealously going to Hell from! Shame on the big churches that
runs several services each Sunday, and yet nothing of eternal
value is recorded in the lives of any of their members. I am
happy that God saved me from Hell. But I am happier that God
saved me from such a church that would have preserved me
for Hell.

It is obvious that we have come to a point where we will not

only be going to clubs and bars to look for sinners, but inside
some churches. More people are going to Hell from churches
now than in any other generation. It is time to go to our Bible
Schools to host crusades because many of the student pastors
there are not born again.

They are in ministry work because there is great and

widespread unemployment in the country. It is time to look at
some General Overseers controlling ten branches or more,
and address them: “Bishop, are you born again? If you are not,
then repent, for Jesus is coming soon!” Brother, once again,
after God saved me from Hellfire, the next place He saved me
25
from was the church that would have led me there.

He saved me from a church that would have made me remain a

Kingdom misfit; that would have watched me still carrying
about charms and guns and ladies as long as I paid my tithes
and offerings.

I love being in the midst of people who are passionate about

whatever they are doing, people who love what they are doing
to the point that they can die for it. But I did not see people of
such calibre in the church where I was. All I saw were people
who only attended church on Sundays to shout AMEN and
will not be seen again until the next Sunday.

I started missing my passionate friends in the streets who

could stay up all night, in the cold and rain, just to rob or rape
or kill or even die. Every day, I asked God: “Is this all there is
to salvation? I am committed and punctual and regular in
church services, but I don't hear anything here that sets my
heart on fire for You. Please, help me, I am backsliding. I am
going down again!”

That was when God led me to a new church. The pastor and
the wife, my friend and I were the only members. In the sun,
every day of the week, we were there. When they drove us out,
we would locate another tree.

From there, Christ began to be formed in me. It was a poor

church but rich in the Word. There were no car parks, rich
members or signposts. But from that 'manger' God made
Kingdom superstars. Thank God for Rev. Okwandu and his
wife whom God used to save me from a church that would
have bundled me straight back to Hell!

Brother, on the last day, we all will be surprised that those who
built the most beautiful church auditoriums in our cities and
were pastors to Governors of states may not be recognized in
Heaven. It is not wrong to be a pastor to Governors and even
26
Presidents. The problem is when we begin to water down our
messages to make them comfortable in our churches.

Happily, there are men and women who are raising generals
that will carry the end-time fire. Nobody may know them in
the cities and big towns. But they are among those Heaven
will decorate. And those are the ones I want to hear about.

Man of God, you know those who envy your big auditorium.
But it is not people like us who were failed by big auditoriums
where people gather to contribute money for pastors who are
in an unhealthy competition with their mates and friends from
their Bible School days. We want to see the impact of your big
auditorium on your members. Check the level of the spiritual
hunger of your members. How many of them call you to ask
you how to grow in love, in obedience and in evangelism?

How many of them come to your office crying because, for

over a month, they have not witnessed Jesus to anyone? The
only time they come to your office is to tell you about who is
pursing them to kill them. They are only telling you about the
contract they are going for and the promotion they are praying
for.

When will you start raising members who will come to your
office every week to carry evangelism tracts and tell you to
pray for them, because they are invading some ghettos, and
have made up their minds not to come back until they have
won many over to Christ? When will you start attracting
members who will sow millions into your life and tell you that
they just want the work of God in your hands to grow, and
don't have any prayer request attached to the seed?

When will you start hearing boys and girls in your church
praying and fasting, not for marriages or jobs or visas, but for
God to use them to cause revivals in their streets?
27
The only language on your members' lips is jobs and marriage
and contracts. None of them even cares to carry the power of
God to their neighbourhoods, to make a name for God. And
you are celebrating the anniversary of your church's
founding?

We have seen the landed properties and cars that you have
within one year. You are boasting your services of three
sessions every Sunday. But where is your evangelism team?
How many of the people following you will say you led them
to Christ?

You are celebrating your anniversary of stealing members

from other churches and of raising impotent believers who are
plagued with itchy ears. It is an anniversary of threatening
people with their dead relatives; of competing with your Bible
schools friends, to show them that you are doing better than
them; of twisting scriptures to suit your avaricious motives; of
raising funds from dying sinners without any remorse as to
what will happen to their miserable Christ-less souls;

It is an anniversary of bringing your demonic prophet friends

to deceive your church members with prophecies, and paying
people to pretend they were mad but had been healed by you.
Sir, you are celebrating 1year anniversary of Pentecostal fraud
and spiritual idiocy. What an ignominious spectacle!

If I cared so much about our relationship, or preaching in your

big church, you would have known. There is something we
value more than your contact, sir. I remember when I used to
kneel down in a public place such as a mall, begging girls to
give me their phone numbers. People would laugh at me. To
my hearing, everybody around would call me a fool. It is
funny, brother. The way you are laughing at me now is the way
people were laughing at me then. Yet I never minded.

28
If I could face public ridicule because of girls when I was in
the streets, why will I be ashamed to go to the streets and face
public ridicule because of Jesus Christ today? If I could sleep
in the rain, and in the bush for a secret parole that paid nothing,
why will I now want God to bless me with new shoes before I
get committed to His work? And why will you expect me to
keep quiet when I see how we are celebrating cathedrals filled
to capacity with members who are not ready to be laughed at
for God's sake?

Apologies to our friends who were born born again! We beg

forgiveness of our colleagues who are ashamed to talk about
where they are coming from because of the people they have
met on the road. We truly understand your position. If you are
among them, sir, I apologize.

But there is something we remember. Why now should I be

comfortable pastoring members who hide their Bibles and are
ashamed to tell their hostel mates that they are born again?
The only thing that brings them to church is because of their
quest for miracles.

Prostitutes will travel for hours just to be with you. Like Ja

Rule sang, they are “always on time.” They do not come
because they love you. Prostitutes do not want to know if you
are a fine boy. They don't care about your six-pack body. All a
prostitute wants is money. Once she sees you, the first place
she looks at is your wallet.

That she is laughing inside the room with you is because she
knows that you have money to pay her. I know you did not
touch a prostitute before you gave your life to Christ. But,
please, sir, wait for some of us who touched them to tell you
what we learnt from them that is making us touch our
generation now that we have sold out to God.

A whore does not care if you have paid your school fees or if
any of your relatives is in the hospital. She might have
travelled some distance to see you, but it is not to feel the pains

29
you are feeling. Rather, it is because of what you will give her.
They can be beautiful; but no matter how pretty they are, no
man prides himself in them. Indeed, I have never seen a man
boasting of a prostitute.

How can you boast of someone who is only around you when
you have money but far when you are mourning?

Friend, how do you think God feels when He sees that the only
thing that brings you to Him is your problems? How do you
expect Him to be proud of you when He knows that if you
were not that you are looking for a husband, a wife, a job or
contracts you would not be in church?

Brother, this is the greatest set of prostituting Christians that

have ever walked this earth. Many harlots are our ushers: men
and women who are only coming because they need jobs and
visas and promotions. They have been to over five churches in
one year looking for miracles.

They don't care if there is an evangelism group in that church

or an intercessions group. But they can buy a bottle of
'anointing' oil at any price. They can buy 'anointed' water for
'assignments.' They can sow any seed. All they want is
miracle, not spiritual commitment.

They don't want to lose their fraudulent contacts. They don't

want people to laugh at them because of God, yet they want
something from the same God. They are spiritual harlots. How
can God be proud of such a breed? Now I know why Jesus told
the Samaritan woman that: “. . . The hour cometh and now is,
when the true worshippers shall worship the Father in spirit
and in truth; for the Father seekers such to worship him” –
John 4:23.

Churches are everywhere; yet the Father is seeking for people

30
who will come to Him, not because of their needs but because
of His needs. Unfortunately, many of our Bible Schools are
graduating young pastors who are entering the streets to raise
more prostitution centres in our generation in the name of
church founding.

You will stay with them for one week and all they will be
telling you is how much money they raised in seeds when they
ministered in some places. But you will never hear from them
how many drunkards they converted to Christ in the
programme. All the members in their churches have needs. All
of them have people that wants to kill them. All of them are
looking for jobs and marriages.

They don't have members who are zealously following Christ

because of the fact that He hung on the Cross and died for our
sins. If there is no spiritual awakening in our time, then I
wonder why God brought people like us out in a time like this
when, before our eyes, the church is tilting towards Babylon.

Sister, you need a church where they will not only tell you
about your needs and nothing about God's needs. Satan
protects prostitutes and blesses them daily with customers
because they are not ashamed of him. They can dance naked
before hundreds of people. They can stand on the road for
hours, luring men to their doom, advertising Hell, doing the
work of their evil master.
But since you gave your life to Christ, where have they
laughed at you because of Jesus? Where have you advertised
God? Where have they called you a madman because of the
gospel?

Prophets have been giving you assignments to buy water, buy

apple, buy this and that for your problems to be over. This
year, let them start giving you the assignment of preaching in
public places. You need an assignment where they will start

31
laughing at you because of the gospel of Jesus.

That's the assignment the early apostles gave their members;

yet they lacked nothing. The early church had money, and
enough to spare. And they also had passion for winning lost
souls, and even the least among them manifested the power of
God. But, in our time, we say we are rich; yet, this is the most
powerless generation of Christians that has ever carried the
Bible.

Brother, you can step up your game this year. If your church is
too big, it is not wrong. But there is nothing wrong if you
change to a smaller church where you will be relevant to God's
work. Why you rise and fall as a Christian is because you have
not being going for evangelism.

Thank God that you have a good voice and are needed in the
choir; but that's not enough. The Holy Ghost is waiting for you
to preach the gospel in your neighbourhood. You only sang in
the choir last year, but not this year again. You must step up.
You only talked about your pastor and your prophet last year;
this year, talk about Jesus. He is the only message.

The end-time army will be a shameless army. Its members will

not preach only when they are invited to programmes, hotel
reservations made for them and tastefully designed posters
and handbills printed. Anywhere they find themselves will be
their crusade ground. They will be doctors that will be
conducting deliverance in their hospitals.

I know that the person reading now is already one of them. If

that person is you, bow your head, and let us pray!

32
 Chapter 08
WHEN WILL YOU GET TIRED OF DEPENDING
ON MEN WHO ARE DEPENDING ON MEN?

W hen Nigerian former President, Olusegun

Obasanjo was in the office, no matter what you
came to discuss with him, he doesn't give you more
than 20 minutes, and some people use to travel from all over
the world just to see him.

Some used to lodge in hotels in Abuja, for weeks... While

some for months, just to see him. And many people that
succeeded in seeing him never remained the same again. That
20 minutes' time with him gave them contracts and offices and
some got connections that made them billionaires.

If those that saw him for 20 minutes became as rich as that,

what will happen to those that lived with him or stayed with
him daily? Imagine how rich they will become. If an ordinary
President can change someone's life financially because they
spent just 20 minutes with him, what will happen when we
spend time with the God that made heaven and earth?

The mistake we are making is that we abandoned God and

started looking for men. But sir, it's time to look for God. It
pays. If that vision has not driven you down to your knees, it
must be a very small vision. If that dream in your heart has not
made you to see that you need God alone, please, wake up and
dream again. If you are talented enough to do it, God's glory
might not speak expressly in that project.

Paul became an eternal excellency and the joy of many

33
generations. Not because he could write or speak well. But
because he could pray. Jesus did not fulfil His great future
because He was the Son of God. But because He was a praying
man. We have been depending on those we know, no wonder
we cannot show evidence of the supernatural. Since we began
to trust in our smartness or powers, alas, we end up
disillusioned.

Sister, there is something God will show you about where He

is taking you to that will make you lose appetite for sleep. If
the vision of that ministry you have has not made you reject
food and fast, you might need to cry to God for a touch in your
prayer life.

The first things Nehemiah did was not to design posters and
start looking for guest speakers or looking for hall to rent. The
first thing he did was to pray and fast for the vision God has
given him for his people.

According to Hosea 10:12, he sowed to Himself in

righteousness and he reaped in mercy. And with those days of
groaning and fasting, he was broke the fallow grounds. No
wonder favour came from all over the place. No wonder God
used even the heathen to sponsor his vision.

Sir, there is a big difference when you depend on your contacts

and when you depend on God. He hates it when anyone will
say: "I made Abraham rich".

Don't cut down the size of your God given vision because of
the number of people in your life now. Go ahead and keep
watering that vision with prayer. Go back to that dream you
had for that business. You cannot be praying for 2 hours
everyday and will not see the strange Hand of God in your life
in no long time.

34
God wants to put ideas in your head that will shake the pillars
of the earth and return all glory to Him alone. Have the arms of
flesh not failed you enough? How long will you keep waiting
inside an office, from morning till night, to see men, when
God is waiting for you to call upon Him? May God revive
your prayer life this night. May He seize every appetite from
you until you pray.

That demon of sleep that attacks you anytime you wake to

pray is arrested from this night. You will not struggle further in
life. Heaven will set you up for divine help. Get ready for an
idea that will put your name in the list of relevant men in your
community.

May your knee receive help from God now.

In Jesus Mighty Name. Let us pray!

35
 Chapter 09
MAN OF GOD, LET US PRAY!

C heck all the men of God who God is giving nations of

the world today, when they were young in ministry,
they were praying 6 to 7 hours every day. Ask them.
Some of them abandoned their comfortable homes and
climbed dangerous mountains. And nobody saw them again,
after many days.

They were there crying for God to use them in their

generations. Some of them prayed and passed out for long
before God revived them again. Some prayed and fasted until
their legs could not carry them again. And today, they are
reaping the fruits of the prices they paid in the place of prayer.

But unfortunately, my generation of ministers cannot even

pray for 1 hour consistently, for one month. We spend more
hours searching for scriptures we will use on Facebook for
arguments than to kneel down and pray.

If this generation of ministers does not encounter genuine

revival, I fear for what the church in the next twenty years will
look like when this prayerless generation of ministers would
have taken over.

When I see young men who insult great men of God, who have
gone through stuff for God, I don't feel too comfortable with it.
Whether they are wrong or right. What these men have gone
through for the Kingdom, we have not even dared it.

The insults, hunger alienation and loneliness some of them

have suffered for God, cannot be told better than themselves
alone. Yet, after these years, they are still standing.
36
But just that someone made a comment on our facebook posts
and called us fools, imagine how painful it is. And in
retaliation, we have made more than 20 posts in one day,
directly and indirectly fighting back. Carnality everywhere.
Arrogance here and there. Obvious madness and we call it
boldness.

If we face half of some of the things these generals have faced

before they got this far, some of us would have dropped bible
long ago. And that is why the Bible said we should follow men
who through faith have obtained good report. When a man
cannot pray, Satan can use him at will, to even fight himself.

I don't want to talk about prayer. I don't want to read about

prayer. I don't want to be around people that can pray. I want to
pray. Prayerlessness is the root of all the criminal activities
and rivalries attendant in the church in our days. Why young
men go to sleep with queen of the coast to receive power to
grow their churches is because they don't want to pray.

A generation of ministers that doesn't have a prayer life cannot

do much for God in our time. A generation of preachers that
fast and pray only when they have big programs will not lead
this generation anywhere. If my late dad could still be praying
for four hours daily, at the age of 85, what will be my excuse?

Friends, Facebook, Instagram and twitter can only give you

phantom popularity. But Facebook cannot give you power.
Popularity does not heal the sick. And popularity does not cast
out devils.

The world is plagued with too many questions. Families and

destinies are bewitched and attacked before our eyes. Popular
men and women will not save the day. We need powerful men.
The church once again, needs men that will make a decree and
it with stand.
37
There is no other short cut to getting power except in the place
of prayer. Man of God, let's go and fall back to God in humility
and expose to Him our emptiness. Let's tell God that we are
tired of all these packaging. We need the real thing. And we
need it desperately.

I thought you have seen the end of those that used juju for
ministry. I thought you are seeing the emptiness of those
presently using demonic means to grow their churches. I
thought you have sworn never to bow to Baal.

I thought God showed you great things about your future

when you first began. I thought there are many prophecies
hanging over your heads I thought some people have given
you a date when they will disgrace you and you will fold up
that ministry. I thought you said someone swore that there will
never be a trace of glory in your life and ministry.

They saw you shouting fire in church. They came to your

house and saw you playing gospel music. Every day they see
you going in and out of church. They think you have a prayer
altar where you fall back on, without knowing that you only
come back from church to sleep, till the next day.

Now, they have gone to fortify their altars. Why are you
surprised that things are happening the way they are going
around you? There is a price we must pay to carry the power
we want to manifest. We don't have any other option. We must
pray.

Right now, I judge every spirit of weakness in the place of

prayer in your life.

In Jesus Name. In case you are ready, let us pray!

38
 Chapter 10
THIS MIGHT BE WHY YOU ARE FINDING
IT HARD TO OBSERVE FASTING!

Y ou can stay from morning till evening without feeling

hungry, but anytime you make up your mind to
observe fasting, hunger will come from nowhere. I
don't know about you. But it happens to me severally.

If there is nothing fasting adds to your spiritual life, Satan will

not be trying hard to discourage you from fasting. That
miracle God uses your pastor to do, you too can do it. You
don't need to go to Bible school to begin to prophesy. You can
lay hands on your sick mother and she will jump up, healed.

That fibroid can die on its own accord. Juicy contracts and
jobs can start looking for you even without you falling prey to
a juju preacher, they are hiring to raise funds here and there.
Satan knows those that carries only Bible. But he also knows
those that carries power.

You pay a lot for things that have been freely given to you
because you have been spiritually lazy. The cost of ignorance
is alarming. Some people don't recover from it till they die.
The greatest lie we have told you is that we alone can be used
by God. But you too can carry the power. You too can
prophecy. You too can heal the sick. There are little prices to
pay. Praying and fasting is one of them. For Jesus, who is God
Himself to depend on fasting, it means, you and I have no
excuse.

Adam never fasted. He was busy eating all the fufu and
Sharwarma in Eden, morning, day and night. If he was
39
spiritual, the same serpent he named would not have being
used to drive him out from glory.

When Jesus came, that same Satan rushed Him immediately.

And took him to a restaurant. And told him to start making
order for food.

But Jesus remembered how the first Adam lost his honour...
And he told him: "Man shall not leave by bread alone..."
Because the first man that lived by bread alone lost his
dominion through food.

Friends, that was the first recorded victory Jesus had over
Satan. And Satan has not forgotten what Jesus did to him,
because of His ability to fast. Till today, any time he sees God's
child making up his mind to fast, he gets afraid and release all
his demons to make sure they disrupt the person.

That is why any time you are on a fast, suddenly, you will start
remembering the fried rice you ate in a party last year.
Sometimes, you even start perceiving the aroma of food, even
when there is no kitchen around. (Smiles)

Satan is a bastard. He is a liar. He is wicked. But he is smart.

Whatever that made God told us to go to the serpent he cursed
and learn must be a serious matter. Which means, even cursed
things can be smart. Since you became born again, you
struggle to fast, because you don't understand the power in it.

I was not a pastor when different terminal sicknesses started

dying by my hands. The day snake choked to death inside my
small room by itself, I was just a church member, only singing
in the choir, as every other person. When I used to go from Eke
Okigwe to Abakpa Market, in Okigwe town, looking for sick
people to pray for and God was healing them instantly, then, I
have never climbed any pulpit for once to preach.

40
I will gather some secondary school boys and girls and
through me God will set them on fire. And they will go back to
their houses, looking for sick people to heal. Tomorrow, they
will come back with testimonies of different God's
manifestations. Then, I was just a cleaner in our small church
of less than ten members.

It was a time of hunger, lack and wants. But, I converted it to

fasting and God was adding grace, day by day.
When they call my pastor for emergency prayer, sometimes,
he will send me to represent him whenever he is too busy. And
through my feeble hands, to the glory of God, the activities of
wickedness will end in those families whenever I enter. Yet, I
was 'Brother Iyke... 'Not pastor Iyke.

I don't know about others, but, fasting and praying helped me.
And it has not stopped. How can you say you want to carry
power in our time and you cannot loose meals?

Being worded is good. But fasting makes the Word of God in

your mouth to come alive. Knowing the Truth is good. But
fasting sets the Truth in your mouth on fire.

Yes! Fasting is not only for power. But if you have a habit of
studying the Word and adding it to a fasting and praying life,
snakes will come around you and die by themselves.

We have not arrived yet. We have not even begun. But in our
little way, to the glory of His Name alone, we have seen the a
little of the power of God. And fasting has helped us. I am only
talking to those that wants to grow their game. I mean, those
that wants to stay in their houses and set shrines in their
Father's houses on fire. Those that are tired of looking for
prophets, from one city to the other. Those that have gotten
tired of being prayer projects in all the prayer ministries
around.

41
I mean those that wants to start manifesting the power of God
by their own hands. Iyke Oriaku, I am one of them. It is time to
ask God to help us 'hate' food and give us grace to live a fasting
life, because we cannot remain like this. We must grow our
fire!

Are you ready? Then, let us pray!

42
 Chapter 11
THAT NONSENSE MUST STOP NOW!

O ne day I was on my way to the market to buy meat

which I needed to cook some jollof rice with. As I got
to Eke Okigwe, close to where I lived, I suddenly
started speaking in tongues.

While still speaking, I broke off briefly to tell the butcher to

sell some meat to me. As he was about slicing it, I resumed
speaking in tongues and even raised my voice. Immediately,
he covered up his meat and would not sell to me again. I
moved on to another person. I was still speaking in tongues.
He had started slicing the meat when I raised the decibel of my
prayer. Again, out of fear, he decided not to sell the meat to me.

I told him that I was just praying and that he should pay no
attention to me. He rather accused me of being an occultist on
a mission to get some materials for ritual purposes.

He said that he also spoke in tongues sometimes but did so in

church. But he was not taught that someone could speak in
tongues in the market or on the streets where worship was not
going on. While arguing, he raised his voice. This attracted his
fellow meat sellers who teamed up to mock me and ended up
branding me a member of a notorious cult group in that area
known as Pipe Men.

I ended up not cooking with meat as I intended. I had to use

frozen fish which I bought elsewhere, away from the market.
By then, I had stopped speaking in tongues. As I got to the
hostel where I lived, the wife of porter, who was about six
months pregnant, started shouting as soon as she sighted me:

43
“Brother Iyke, thank you! Brother Iyke, thank you! If not for
you, I would have been killed. How can I thank you enough?”

She shouted this at the top of her voice. The occupants of the
building rushed out to find out what the matter was. I was
surprised because I had no clue as to what she was talking
about even though she thought I knew what she was saying.

She said that after the birth of her first son, all other
pregnancies would be terminated in the sixth month as a result
of demonic attacks. About seven demons will usually come to
her in a dream and hit her abdomen. This had happened twice
consecutively, after which the demons told her they would kill
her if she got pregnant again.

When she got pregnant again, she went to her church and was
given various anointed items to avert the loss of her
pregnancy. She also went to a prayer house where she was
given similar items which she kept in her room so they would
ward off the demons.

That afternoon, exactly six months into her pregnancy, in spite

of those anointed materials hanging everywhere, the demons
attacked her again. According to her, she was struggling with
them and was so weak that she could not even shout.

Nobody could hear her as she had started losing breath

gradually and wondered what would become of her son if she
passed away. She was certain she would lose her baby and her
own life as well.

It was at that time that I got back, still speaking in tongues. The
demons fled immediately. According to her, I was only
speaking in tongues and they fled. She was revived shortly
after they left her. She lost neither her life nor that of the baby.

That was when she ran out and saw me. She held me and
started shouting excitedly and thanking me for coming to save
her life and that of her unborn child.

44
Friends, I did not have a clue of what she was talking about but
people had already joined her in thanking me. They did not
know what was going on in my mind while I stood there.
When I found out from her the exact time the incident began, I
realized it was exactly the same time I was in the market
speaking in tongues, the same moment I was labeled an
occultist.

Friends, how could I have known that what I while speaking in

tongues, some blood-sucking demons were about to snuff life
out of a pregnant woman? God suddenly bestowed on me, the
gift of bilocation – being in the market and my house at the
same time thereby helping avert the disaster that was about to
occur.

I lived in that compound until the woman gave birth to a

bouncing baby boy. She went on to have a third child by which
time I had already moved out of the compound. To the glory of
God, that attack was the last one. Hallelujah!

If not that I was not ashamed to speak in tongues in the market,

those demons would have killed her and her unborn baby.
They would have dead and become the subjects of a colourful
obituary poster if not for God's intervention. Maybe her
family would have written of her: “To God be the glory”,
while others would have written: “God gave and God has
taken.” But it would not be true. Indeed, God gave her life, but
demons took it.

There are many things that happen to you that are not caused
by God. There are several things the devil has stolen from you
before now. Last year you were weak in prayer, ashamed to
pray or preach in public vehicles, you were not even bold
enough to pray in tongues in your office, and you were afraid
of being mocked while praying as you strolled on the way to
school.

45
No wonder many things died around you. You lost
opportunities that would have made your life better. No
wonder your relationship has crashed. No wonder you cannot
explain why certain things keep reoccurring in your life.
Refuse to celebrate spiritual cowardice this year.

I wish you knew how many demons have been mobilized to

frustrate your vision this year. All they want to do is to stop
you from getting help. They want to make sure you end up
suffering in life. If you are truthful to yourself, you will know
that you are not where you are meant to be. Demons are
getting promotions and being decorated with new ranks
because of the many disasters they have caused in your life.

If I were you, I will make a vow now to set my altar on fire

again. It's time to be labeled a mad man for the sake of God.

Let your neighbors get used to hearing you speak in tongues to

the point that they will mock you as a result. Do not let your
Christianity end at claiming divine blessings for yourself or
sharing posts online because of the blackmail that
accompanies them.

Christianity transcends wearing sacramentals, and expecting

miracles. Rather, it boils down to doing good and thwarting
the efforts of the devil and his agents. Your shadow falls on the
sick and they are healed; demons stop holding meetings in
your area because of you; witches sneak out of town anytime
they hear you are around; and people come to you to pray for
them even when they know you are not a pastor.

Friends, much of this social media Christianity is a scam.

There is something more. If the early Christians did it this
way, the world would not have christened them 'Christians' at
Antioch.

This year, brother, ask God to give you evidence of His fire in
46
your life. I am not talking about material evidence. Cars, good
jobs and marriage are not evidence that you are born again.
Cult members also have cars as well as good marriages. Some
of them are staff of big firms.

Unfortunately for most Christians, they have refused to

appreciate the Holy Spirit which sets them apart. How would
you feel if you were not on talking terms with someone you
were asked to help? How would you feel if no member of your
household spoke with you? This is our action towards the
Holy Spirit. The same power that disgraced the grave and
raised Jesus from the dead is with you right now.

Regrettably, you have neglected Him. What we miss in our

time in our pursuit of shadows! The church will never see a
genuine revival until it reconciles with the Holy Spirit. This
generation of preachers cannot usher in the coming revival
until it reckons with the agency of the Holy Spirit. Until the
church emphasizes His work, we can as well forget about a
global harvest. Without the Comforter, the church is just a
place where people gather to exchange ideas.

I WILL NEVER STOP TALKING ABOUT WHAT I SAW IN

THE CHURCH IN THE DAYS OF MY FATHERS.

They were poor, did not build big auditoriums and did not
have Bible school degrees. But that generation had the Holy
Spirit and because of that shrines did not survive in their
environments, and evil forests where villagers buried cursed
people were converted to praying camps. Mere church
members stopped demons in their tracks and cast them out of
their victims. It cannot be compared to what we have today.

The Christianity of today cannot keep Satan at bay. I don't

have any problem with the use of sacramentals because God
can manifest in various ways; but these are the things I saw did
not see in the church in the days of my fathers.
47
That generation of preachers did not sell anointing oil to their
members. It did not sell the Holy Communion either. It did not
build up the faith of members using anointed objects. Instead,
it taught them to stay calm in the face of storms because God
had given His angels charge over them.

The generation of my fathers did not teach its members to

attribute a bad omen to the mere sighting of a living creature at
a particular time of the day. They were taught to calm the
storm instead of being troubled by it.

Because of that boldness, the supernatural and the miraculous

regularly occurred even in the Children's Department of the
church. Witches were afraid of believers anywhere they saw
them. This was possible because most people sitting on the
pews manifested the power of God.

In our generation, only the pulpit wields that power. We have

robbed the pews of the knowledge that should have made
them carry the power of God, because we want them to be
dependent on us. No wonder we parade a congregation that
doesn't know about the promises of God to His children. What
a time we are in! If there is any time to preach to preachers, it is
now!

Jesus told them: “And you shall receive power . . .” He did not
say that you shall receive an anointed item before you receive
power – nor did He say the power was available to pastors
only. The entire membership of the church waited for it and
got it at Pentecost. And, from that day, they began to make
news. Today, we enclose the power of God in an item and
expect it to manifest without having at least a functional
prayer life. What a fraud!

Why do we promise them the power they are not ready to pay a
price for? How can they carry what they have not waited for?
How long shall we keep deceiving these people? When are we
48
going to tell them that what they possess within them is more
powerful than whatever anointed materials they procure from
their churches.

I am greater than Moses; so, don't make me bow to him. I am

greater than Elijah; don't tell me to reduce myself to his level.
These men never possessed the Holy Spirit who only rested
upon them occasionally. Yet, they manifested the power of
God. What about you and I that have the Holy Spirit living
inside of us?

Why do we neglect Him to travel from coast to coast in search

of materials anointed by men of God?

I wish you can understand how Moses, Elijah, Elisha and

other great prophets envy you and I now. The Bible says that
they would have loved to see this day! They would have loved
to be alive in an epoch when the Holy Spirit dwelt in them, and
not having their faith tied to sacramental. No doubt, they
would have achieved far more than they did.

This present generation of Christians cannot withstand the

smallest demon if we keep building their faith on anointed
objects. I don't how many of such items you have been asked
to buy again this year. You can go ahead if you must. And let it
be unto you according to your faith. But let it be that you
already know that 'HE' that is in you is greater than whatever is
in any item you were given.

That pregnant lady would have died at the hands of demons

even with all the sacramental she surrounded herself with.
They could not prevent the demons from attacking her. Thank
God for mercy!

How many automobile accident scenes have you seen that you
did not find the anointed stickers of a church on at least one of
the totaled cars? Where was the power in the anointed sticker
49
when the accidents that claimed lives happened? Yet more
people are still building their faith on anointed church
stickers, just because of testimonies, whether true or false,
which some people gave about those materials.

By the grace of God, the children we are raising will not buy
even one of your anointed materials – not because you are not
powerful or anointed enough. But because they will not have
any need for it. The children of God in our time may wear your
anointed wristbands, but it would strictly be for fashion, not
because they depend on it for divine protection.

Anointing embedded in various materials cannot make us

giants. It cannot scare our enemies. We are raising men that
will possess the power of God.

You may not see them with big and impressive Bibles. But
whenever they open their mouths, fire will come forth. You
will not hear them shout, “My daddy”, “My bishop” or “My
pastor!” But when they act, you will know they are being
trained by giants of the faith.

It's shameful that we are bragging about adults that are

spiritually immature. I don't understand why we are not
ashamed that those buying our anointed materials cannot
sleep for a night without using them. The greatest shame some
pulpits are suffering in our day is that we don't have any more
shame left.

Lord, the pulpit has become the mission field. Where are the
few men who still have shame? Everything is wrong with this
generation of Christians who depend so much on anointed
materials. I don't have a problem with the use of sacramental
as I also have mine. But there is something more.

Beside redemption through the blood of Jesus, the greatest gift

that God has given to us is the Holy Spirit. He is always with
50
us. I believe in anointing oil; but you don't need to rely so
much on it when you have God. Let no man build your
spiritual life up with anointed materials.

When you know your position in Christ, you don't need those
things. There is power where the word of the King is, and not
where there are anointed materials. As one who is born again,
you are already a king.

All you need to generate power is to build up yourself in the

faith, praying in the Holy Spirit. See Jude 20. That's why Jesus
said that men ought always to pray and not to faint. Luke 18:1.

This is because, in the place of prayer, you are building your

power bank. Don't let any other thing die around you.
Wherever you are right now should be conducive enough for
you to pray in tongues. Let them say you are a cultist and let
them accuse you of making incantations.

You may not know what the Holy Spirit wants to achieve
through you. “Likewise the Spirit also helpeth our infirmities:
for we know not what we should pray for as we ought: but the
Spirit itself maketh intercession for us with groanings which
cannot be uttered.” – Romans 8: 26.

This year, make a vow to grow in power. As you sit there now,
promise the angels by your side that you must make efforts to
start depending on the Holy Spirit henceforth. He is listening
to you right now.

Tell Him that you are sorry for not acknowledging Him all this
while. Let Him see the fresh determination in you to get Him
involved in everything you do henceforth. This is the time He
has been waiting for to start a fresh work in your life that will
usher you into a lifetime of the supernatural.

I welcome you to the fresh page of your life with the Holy
Spirit!
Let us pray!

 Chapter 12
WHAT HAUSA PEOPLE TAUGHT ME
ABOUT THE POWER OF GOD

I n my country, Nigeria, there are three major tribes: Igbo,

Hausa and Yoruba. Igbo men are known for their search
for money. And they have it. Yoruba men are looking for
education. And they have it. Hausa men are looking for power.
And they have it.

But the Hausa men are controlling both the Igbo with money
and the Yorubas with certificates, because they have the
power. They understood earlier on that a man in power can
control a man with money and degrees. You can hate a man
with power, but you are still under him. You can speak
grammar more than him, but you are still under him. Just one
decision he will make can affect your source of money.

If he gets angry and effects a policy, all your degrees might be

useless in your hands. That is why all Jesus promised His
disciples was not money or scholarships. But He said: "And ye
shall receive power..." Because He understands that there are
demonic powers.

Don't just pray for promotion in the office. Pray for promotion
in the school of Power. They can raise your salary, yet, a 9-
year old girl with demonic powers can be controlling how you
spend the salary. Your father might have ended the way he did
because of powers that fought him.

Thank God for your degrees and business ideas. But sir, look
for the Power of God. As you go to church don't ask God for
52
money as usual. Cry to God for His Power. How far could the
Apostles have gone in life without the endowment of the
Power from on High?

The only language the devil understands is power. May your

admission into the school of power be granted this week. May
God trust you with the Anointing. May you speak less and
Pray more and may the power come.

In Jesus Name.

Let us pray!

53
 Chapter 13
BEFORE YOU CHALLENGE THAT WITCH
IN YOUR VILLAGE, READ THIS!

Y
power.
ou are in the city sleeping from one man to the other
for money, yet, you want to go back to the village and
fight your uncle who sleeps in burial grounds for

Your pastor begs you to attend church every Sunday, and

anytime you manage to do so, you would be looking at your
watch. Yet, you are challenging the witch in your compound
who does not miss her meetings on the high seas every night.

You may not have killed and you don't use charms. But you
don't have any covenant with God. Yet you are doing business
with men and women who have demonic covenants with
pythons which they serve.

You know all the movie actors and actresses and how much
they are worth, but you don't know any scripture in the Bible.
You can sit down and see movies for eight straight hours; but
once it's time to pray, you would start complaining that you
want to sleep.

Once you hear, “open your Bible,” you would remember you
had a hectic day and need to rest because you'd have to be at
work tomorrow. Sister, enemies are using your destiny to play
snooker.

When you don't have new shoes and clothes, you don't go to
church. When it's raining, you assume your pastor should

54
understand that you cannot let water touch your hair. Yet, the
enemies of your glory go about under the sun and in the rain.

Many times, they go naked to fellowship with their kind, and

to get more powers from the snake they serve. Yes, a prophet
has told you the names of your enemies and given you
accurate prophecies. But there is a price to pay. It is time to
strike a covenant with God.

Impartation and anointing services start and end as mere

rituals when they involve men and women who have no
covenant with God. Wearing anointed bangles, anointed this
and anointed that is mere fashion when you have not
surrendered to the work of Christ on the Cross.

Considering that you are not known in Zion, how dare you
point your finger at a man who does not sleep all night but
dances naked in graveyards to renew his powers? Do you not
know it amounts to suicide?

How dare you question that witch in your office when you
know you have no covenant backing you up? Do you want her
to send you afflictions the way she sent them to others in that
same office?

How can you be in the city, with all your degrees and
connections, yet an illiterate witch in the village controls how
much enters your hands and what you do with it? The witch
did not go to school, but you did. Yet, she has sworn that the
certificates you bagged would be useless to you and your
family. And, before your eyes, her words are playing out.

The witch has not been to the city, but you are in the city. Yet,
from the village, she has sworn that nothing good will come
near you in that city. And, evidently, it is working out
according to her threats.

55
Sister, this is not just a matter of posting church stickers
everywhere in your house or car. This is not a matter of
obeying a prophet, by observing days of dry fasting, after
which you go back to sleep with other women's husbands.
This is time to surrender to God and to enter a covenant with
Him!

In the game of the spirit, covenant is the password. What can

you let go of for the altar you are bowing to? What kind of
painful sacrifice can you make to service the power behind
your covenant?

Some people don't have sex with anybody, not even with their
wives, for weeks and months. Some sleep with dirty and
stinking mad women. Some eat excreta. Some drink the blood
from a woman's mensuration – all because they want to grow
in their demonic powers.

No wonder when they cast spells, Satan carries it out

immediately. They can be far away but monitor you easily.
They know when you are about winning a big contract award,
and they scatter it. They know when a wonderful man wants to
propose marriage to you, and they hijack it.

Sister, without a relationship with Christ, whether you like it

or not, they are more powerful than you are. No matter how
promising a business proposal is, occult men never miss their
cultic meetings. Those of them who are busy politicians won't
dare stay away from such meetings because they know that
their positions and political powers are at stake with their
absence.

Unfortunately, Christians play with God. We play with

fellowship days. We prefer travelling to attend programs
where they promise they would see visions for us. We go from
city to city shopping for answers and miracles.

56
Yet, the Bible tells us: “not forsaking the assembly of
ourselves, as manner of some is; but exhorting one another:
and so much the more, as ye see the day approaching” –
Hebrews10:25.

But we want where they would push us down and bring

microphones to start interviewing the demons in us; and the
next Friday night, we will be in another night vigil, where they
would interview another demon inside us.

You are not committed to any church, but you want power.
How can it work? They only go “from strength to strength,
every one of them in Zion appeareth before Zion” – Psalm
84:7.

Brother, come down from that mountain where you have

stayed since last year. Go back home, get committed to a
church and enter a covenant with God. You alone know those
contacts in your phone that are fighting your covenant with
God. Delete them and new things will start unfolding in your
life.

I know you have tried severally, but still see yourself going
back to your vomit. Brother, there is grace on this page now.
Cry a new cry today and let fresh tears flow from your eyes. I
see God empowering your YES and your NO! You cannot
continue living your life without tying it to a covenant.

You are inflicting wounds on your destiny, while the enemies

of your father's house are glorying in your stagnation in life.
Before they pour another bottle of anointing oil on you, tell
them to please reconcile you with God. Before they tell you to
buy another mantle and anointed this and that, please tell them
that you want to make peace with God first.

Your father did not know this. He was a nice and honest man
but he did not have any covenant with God. He thought that
the battle of life is won by honest men. He did not know that in
the things of the spirit, men with strong altars win the day. No
wonder he has nothing to show for his honest life in the city.

57
Naboth was an honest man, but did not have any altar. How
can you challenge a Jezebel when you don't have an active
altar? How can you stand in the way of such a highly demonic
woman that drinks the blood of the old and the young and go
home to watch African Magic and Super Sports?

Jezebel gathered her demonic people and they declared a

demonic fast over Naboth's head who, not knowing of the
forces massed against him, went home and was eating fufu
and drinking Shawarma.

Every day he was inside barbing salons and boutiques, doing

his best to look hip and trendy, whereas a witch like Jezebel
and her dedicated loyalists went foodless, sleepless and
sexless for days over his head. No wonder that man was
wasted even in his honesty.

Friends, Elijah learnt a lot from Naboth; if he had not, Jezebel

would have wasted him too. When he embarrassed Jezebel
and Ahab publicly, he became the most wanted man in all of
Israel.

In the spirit, a bounty was placed on his head, reward for any
witch that would bring him down. But God's general
withdrew himself from circulation and hid somewhere. And
for three years and a half, he was servicing the covenant altar
he had raised for his God.

You cannot imagine all the sacrifices Jezebel made to destroy

him. That witch shed the blood of goats, fowls, boys, girls,
men and women just to activate her altar against Elijah. And
Elijah knew this; that was why he was afraid. He surrendered
to his superior altar, the one that created heaven and earth.
That was the Altar that took care of Jezebel and her false
prophets. Alleluia!

Sister, I want to reconcile you with that same altar now. You
don't have a choice. Jezebel is after you. She and her hordes
are after your academics and marriage. What is the condition
58
of your altar? Every morning that you dress up, looking more
beautiful, it annoys your enemies. And they are going back to
provoke their altars against you.

Naboth was only a Sunday morning Christian. But Elijah was

always happy when he was told, “let us go to the house of the
Lord.” Which of them are you like? Naboth would only go to
church when there is a poster and handbill, and when a big
prophet is coming to church.

He did not have any personal prayer life. No covenant. He was

just there, defending the property of his father, without power
from on high. But Elijah knew that you don't handle Jezebel if
you depend on the relationship your father has with God. He
did not start wearing jeans and shirts going around town, so
that Jezebel would see he was doing well.

That would be very dangerous. He went back to his altar,

where spiritual wars are fought and either won or lost. He was
just one man, but he made a name for God in Israel.

I don't know the witch you pointed a finger at in the village,

compound, or office that has made the battle against you to be
more fierce. But there is nothing to be afraid of. Go back and
repair your broken altar. The stones of Jezebel will not see
your head. If your father knew this, he would not have
suffered as much as he did.

Your siblings thought that going abroad was the answer. But
Jezebel has networks all over the world. If they tell you what
they are facing abroad, you will understand really that we
wrestle not against flesh and blood.

Your destiny is at stake, my brother. It deserves more than

typing amen on Facebook to the prayers you see there! You
have to enter a covenant with God and mean it that,
henceforth, you will go God's way for the rest of your life.

59
The weapons of our warfare are not carnal. But how can a
carnal man carry weapons he doesn't understand or know how
to use? That's suicide. My sister, the “Fire!” You are shouts in
church is a suicide attempt. You have been your own enemy all
this while. And if that fire comes, it might start from you. God
wants you to grow in power before He releases His glory. But,
you have remained in the same spiritual spot.

Now that you are still trusting God for a miracle and they are
fighting you, what would happen when they see you carrying
out big projects in the village?

Is that not why some boys who started building houses in their
villages did not live long enough to finish them? They were
celebrating in the face of their enemies, mighty witches and
wizards, when they did not have any protective covenant with
God. And they paid for their folly with their lives. That will
not be your portion in Jesus Name!

I understand your struggles. But you have to understand that

you wrestle against principalities and powers. Your careless
lifestyle is empowering demons over your life. Don't give
your enemies the weapons they will use to destroy you. They
are not afraid of you when they see you with new shoes, new
phones and new shirts. But they are always afraid of you
whenever you draw close to God.

They get scared when you make up your mind to maintain

your covenant with God. Why? They know that there is no
enchantment against Israel or divination against Jacob. That is
why they want you to be spiritually weak, so that you will
never be powerful enough to neutralize their manipulations
against your life.

That is why you don't have a prayer life again. You cannot
even tell anybody that you are a born again. Your altar is
messed up; and they know how much will happen for you if
60
you start operating from a repaired altar. Restoration,
financial and spiritual revival will only answer summons
when your altar has been repaired.

Elijah called down fire after repairing the altar. Stop shouting
“Fire!” from a scattered altar. God will not show up! Receive
grace to rebuild your spiritual altar now. Receive grace to
build your prayer life. I cause enmity between you and
whatever is distracting your relationship with God. Your
phone and your TV will no longer take the place of your Bible.

Receive grace to enter into a covenant with God that will drive
you until your dying day.

I see you recovering all that the enemies have stolen from your
father's house. What God will do in your life from now on will
surprise everyone that used to know you. The testimonies that
will be coming out of your mouth daily will choke your
enemies and send them to their graves one after another. When
you meet your friends again, you will be surprised to see
yourself preaching to them to repent.

That street you have not passed through for so long, because
of the things you did there in the past, I see you going back
there to preach the gospel. Get ready to see your friends
coming to apologize to you that they had been the ones using
witchcraft to scatter all of your life's efforts.

You will lose some friends who would no longer be

comfortable with the fire of God that will be coming out of
you from now on. I know you are ready for the next level. I
welcome you to a new lease of life.

Let us pray!

 Chapter 14
"TEACHER, DON'T TEACH
ME NONSENSE!”

T he first speaker came up and told us to stop sitting idle

at home in the name of studying the Bible, praying and
fasting. He said we should start looking for businesses
to invest in to raise money to help God's work in our hands.

The second speaker spoke on the need for young ministers to

have international exposure early. Accordingly, he advised us
to start looking for visa to travel abroad, or people will not
respect us.

Friends, I got home and stopped looking for God and started
looking for money. I began to get involved in every business
that came my way – all to help the vision that God gave me. I
started looking for visas and international connections. Every
day, I would go online looking for who would invite me
abroad.

The money started coming. I began to dress better and more

expensively. The international contacts started coming.
People began to say that I was doing well. Some began to envy
me because of how I used to spend money. They said the Lord
was too good to me. But they did not know that the fire had
gone. I was no more a problem to Hell.

Apprentice witches and wizards began to toy with people

around me. Before then, any time I grabbed the microphone,
within minutes, the heavens would open and the presence of
God would envelop everywhere. But when I began to have
more money, nice shoes and suits, I would have to struggle for
a long time before the heavens would open just a little bit.

62
When I used to go out with my simple clothes, I didn't have to
preach to a sinner for long before they became broken in spirit
and let me lead them to Christ. But after I acquired my big
phones, nice perfumes and costly shoes, I began to struggle to
win someone to Christ. There was money. There were
internationally open doors. But the fire had gone.

I am not talking to those that know what they are doing, but to
those like us who do not. If God will not provide for the
assignment He has given me, I will not kill myself. If He will
not sponsor it, then the vision did not come from Him. I know
we need money to build nice auditoriums for God. But we
need power more than we need money. A big and beautifully
furnished auditorium where there is no power of God would
depend on drama groups and dancers to bring people back to
church the next Sunday.

Let them keep looking for money. Sir, let's go and look for the
power of God. Let them go online every day, begging people
to invite them to foreign countries. But let's keep bruising our
knees, looking for that thing money cannot buy. When God
uses you to heal a known madman in the streets, people will
troop to your church the next Sunday, without minding if it has
a gallery or not.

Jesus asked them: “When I sent you out, did you lack
anything?” They did not go to buy and sell to sponsor the work
of God committed into their hands. They went with the power
of God. A man who is loaded with power from on high cannot
lack anything.

At the last ministers' conference Jesus held with his disciples,

He told them: “And ye shall receive power".

He knew they needed money. But He also knew that money

would not have helped Philip take revival to heathen Samaria.
He knew that the cripple at the beautiful gate had been
receiving money from pastors for many years, but was still a
burden to his people. He knew that what Peter and John
63
needed to give him to change his story was power.

Jesus remembered that Prophet Jonah did not enter Nineveh

with money. He entered with the power of God and a whole
city surrendered their shrines. Even newborns and animals
prayed and fasted for three days! No amount of money would
have brought revival to Nineveh – just like no amount of
money can bring revival to our sin-addicted cities today.

The church of our day boasts in money. We make boasts with

fireless auditoriums and unction-less titles. But the early
church boasted and gloried in the power of God. No wonder
even native doctors offered money in exchange for it!

Unfortunately, we now hire native doctors and invite them

into our well-decorated auditoriums to raise money for us. If
we still had the fire, we would not need boys, that sleep in
burial grounds for power, to come to our churches to raise
money from our members. Is that not why our members are
the ones patronizing all the false prophets in the area?

Is there any secret society in whose register one will not see
the names of our committed members? They are looking for
answers since there is no more bread in the house of bread.

In churches in America and Europe, they now serve tea and

bread so that people will not get bored and leave. In some
places, they even pay people to attend church. They worship
in beautiful cathedrals with nice interiors; but the fire is gone.
What an Ichabod!

That is what happens when a generation of ministers

abandons the fire in search of the praises of men. Thank God
for degrees, money, titles et cetera. But if these things will
quench the little fire I have in my heart now, please, away with
them!

Man of God, Apostle Paul had a tent-making business at some

point to enable him take care of his needs. But he never
64
depended on it for all his missionary expenses. God raised
people that supported the Kingdom work. If you are the one
paying the bills of all your meetings, it means God is not with
you.

How long and hard would Evangelist Reinhard Bonke have

had to work to raise the money for his worldwide crusades that
lasted for over three decades? What kind of business can give
you such money? But that man beseeched God for power and
got it without measure. And God raised men to carry the
burden for him.

Apostle Paul went to the mountains of Arabia to look for God.

And he grew in power. He had found it before we saw him
making tents for a living. He raised the dead, healed
sicknesses and brought revival to cities. Meanwhile, you are
looking for a big car to drive when you cannot command small
demons to run. You have abandoned your prayer altar and,
now, you are looking for money to do God's work. Go back to
your knees. Heaven will soon show up.

The Bible says that through the greatness of your power your
enemies shall submit to you. And one of your enemies is
poverty. When that power comes, poverty will be broken –
because it is God that gives you the Power to make wealth.
Stop being distracted. Look for God. When you find Him, a
time will come when you will have so much money that you
will start investing in many other businesses.
Many politicians, especially those in public offices have a lot
of money. Therefore, they won't follow you because of your
money, cars or international exposure. But when God uses
you to heal their son or daughter of an incurable disease, they
will have no choice but to bow to the God you carry inside
you.

Such testimonies were everyday occurrences in the days of

my fathers. When members, not even their pastors, used to
raise the dead everywhere they went. And they were feared
everywhere.
65
Unfortunately, we don't hear such testimonies again. This is
because all everybody talks about in our churches today is
money. And some of us who saw what God used the
generation of our fathers to do are now asking: “Where is the
power of God? If God is still with us, where are the miracles
our fathers told us of?”

Brother, go ahead and start looking for money. You can be

online and offline looking for visas. But I know that there are
men and women who are crying day and night. They go
foodless and sleepless, waiting for the promise of the Father.
They don't want to talk too much to this stubborn generation.

Take your church politics away. They don't care about such
godless networks. You can transfer them from one small
church to an even smaller church. They will not be moved,
because they are looking for power.

They want what Peter had that made his shadow heal the sick.
Kathryn Khulman carried that same thing. Smith
Wigglesworth was a commander of that same thing. Others
were looking for big church postings while T. L. Osborn
separated himself in search of the same thing. And when he
caught it, he carried it to all the continents of the world, raising
countless dead and healing all manner of incurable diseases.

Friend, when they bring a dying child to you, your business

certificate will not be needed. Jesus was not just the WISDOM
of GOD. He was also the POWER OF GOD. Let's look for IT.
I am sure that the talkative will not have any place to stand on
in this end-time. I am hungry for God's POWER and I am gone
in search of it.

If you have already gotten it, congratulations! But, please,

remember Iyke Oriaku, your weak friend.

Let us pray!

66
 Chapter 15
INCASE YOU INHERITED ANCIENT
FAMILY BATTLES, THIS IS FOR YOU!

A sk your parents about all the money they have been

looking for since they were born. If it is by their
strength, they would have become the richest men in
your community.

Many of our parents struggled without knowing that they

inherited battles. And those battles swallowed them. That was
why they were honest and hardworking, but they had very
little or nothing to show for all their sweat.

You have started looking for money the way they did. Waking
up very early and sleeping very late. Good as it is. But sir, if
you don't conquer the battles in your father's house, you will
end up the way they ended up. Jesus spent the early days of His
ministry, conquering powers that conquered His father's
house. No wonder, He didn't struggle.

I know you want to train your children in the best schools. You
want to leave cars and mansions and estates behind for your
children before you leave this earth. But make sure you don't
leave battles behind for them. If not, those battles will swallow
them and all the mansions you will leave behind.

Solomon fought no war, even in his mistakes and vanities. He

enjoyed his reign. Because his father David fought all the
battles for him. Joab, the potential obstacle that was left,
David also told Solomon to eliminate him if he must enjoy his
reign. (1Kings 2:5)

67
I hope we are not praying to God for children that will come
and suffer shame and delay in every area of their lives? These
are some of the things many of our African fathers did not
know that is affecting many of their children today. But thank
God we now know that every family that has program of glory
has exceptional battles.

Why your family seems to be going through this present

hardship and delay is because there is glory ahead. It is not a
curse. Because Jesus has made a way out. It is rather a curse
not to have anything that can make the enemy fight you.

But sir, we must wake up. If not this ancient battle will
swallow us. Jesus saw the powers that would have swallowed
Him. And He took the war to the corridors of demonic powers.
And declared to them: "Lift up your heads oh ye gates and be
ye lifted up oh ye everlasting doors. That the king of glory may
come in". And those ancient altars replied Him:"Who is this
king of God...?" (Psalms 24:9)

Friends, you have gone to church to pray. You have sown

seeds. You have made declarations. But hell is asking you
questions. "Who is that girl that wants to liberate her family
from poverty?"It is in the place of prayer that you send your
reply to hell, that God has made you the head and not the tail.
Therefore your days of begging to feed your family is over;
that God said that it is not good for that man to be alone,
therefore your marriage must come.

That God said strangers shall build up thy walls..."That as

soon as they hear from you they shall obey you... That a people
you know not shall obey you...”

Satan is tired of hearing your words. It doesn't move Him. He

only runs when you bring Gods words. I want you to join me
everyday of this week to pray for one hour, with any of the
scriptures above or any relevant scriptures in your arsenal.
68
Ask your elder ones who are married. After wedding, there are
still more battles inside that marriage. Ask those who are
gainfully employed. Even in their offices, there are still
battles. For Jesus Himself to tell us not to faint, but to pray
often, it must be a serious matter. He must have seen obstacles
on our ways.

Yes. He must have seen the same things that stopped others
positioned to stop us. If you are not aware of it, sir, you will
pay for it.
When I see young men and women who are hungry for glory
but not ready to pay the price in the place of prayer, I shudder.
You don't become a voice because of what you do online. But
because of what you do offline.

Guys are paying price. With fasting and groaning. Don't let
Facebook, Instagram and snapchat distract you. You must
have time to hide and cry to God for the oil you want to carry.
If talents and beauty were enough, sister, you should have
been more than where you are now. The price Jesus paid was
to purchase the freedom for us all. But it is in the place of
prayer that we make demands for our own share of the
Redemption package.

And that's why the writer of Hebrew told us to come boldly to

the throne of grace that we may receive help in time of need.
Hebrews 4:16. If there is nothing to take from the throne of
Grace, the Bible would not invite us there. For "He has not
said to the seeds of Jacob, seek ye me in vain.." Isaiah 45:1

I am talking to only those who don't want to be swallowed by

the same things that swallowed their parents and elder ones.
They carried bible but were still begging for food. They
preached to people, but yet, could not pay their children's
school fees. They were honest and hardworking. But yet, they
had nothing to show. And now you are seeing resistance in
every areas of your life.
69
The same things that happened to others seem to be happening
to you. My brother, stop pretending that all is well. You need to
wake up to your family responsibilities. And stand in the gap,
in the place of prayer. I have received testimonies of
incredible move of God in many lives and families since we
joined faith online to pray together.

Some strong men fighting some people are already in the

mortuary now after we prayed together. And we return all the
glory to God for the testimonies of miracles jobs started
coming in after the death of those evil men. Some marital
proposals and wedding preparations are coming in like magic.

It is a disaster to sit under a man that doesn't understand the

battles you are into. And he will be telling you not to pray
against your unrepentant enemies. That vengeance is of the
Lord. You might be there and those that killed your father
might kill you and still come to your burial to eat rice.

Anyone sponsoring your tears; fueling the fire of pain and

delay in your family, that has refused to repent, I declare again,
he will be in the mortuary before the end of this year. It has
already begun.

The next witch that will die will be that one that has sworn that
none of your siblings will see glory. I raise a war cry against
that wicked woman that has refused to die, rather she is
renewing her life with that of young people in your
compound. This month, she will sleep and not wake up again.

Friends, we are only as far from solutions as far as we are from

prayers. It might look as if it not working but that is the best
time not to stop praying. Are you ready to give Him no rest this
week, till He makes Jerusalem a praise on the earth?

Can you ask God to purge you of any sin that is going to supply
evidence to Satan to accuse you before God? Are you ready to
70
pray with relevant scriptures, as it appeals to what you are
trusting God for? And I join faith with your prophet that
passionately prayed for you yesterday, and I pray that from
next week, new things will begin to happen for you.

That testimony you have been believing God for will be

handed into your hands. We have already vowed to return all
glory to God.

If you are ready, then, let us pray!

71
 Chapter 16
ANY MAN THAT DID NOT TEACH YOU
ABOUT SPIRITUAL WARFARE HAS
NOT TAUGHT YOU EVERYTHING YET.

I have seen houses that they used only human blood to

build. Anybody that lived in that house lost someone.
Either their children or spouses. And in some cases, both
husbands and wives died, including dogs and other pets.

They didn't know they were living in a house built with human
blood for sacrifice. And they didn't have any prayer life. They
thought being deacons in church was enough. They thought
coming back to play the c.d of their pastors was enough.

When Jesus said: "Men ought always not tofaint, but to pray...
Luke18:1. He knew you will have pastors who are powerful.
But he also knew that what is looking for your head means
business. I hear people say that once you are born again, that
you are free from all attacks. And I laugh, because when you
hear those who have not seen powers, you will know.

Few of us, in our little level have been privileged to encounter

powers in one or two missionary areas. Friend, there are
powers.
Imagine how many people that were killed to get blood to
build a living house. Imagine the wickedness. Imagine the
sacrifices. That is why the bible said the dark places of the
earth are filled with the habitation of cruelty. Psalm 74:20.
And because of that Paul told us to Pray without ceasing.

72
1 Thessalonians 5:17. And Jude told us to be building up
ourselves on our most holy faith, praying in the Holy Ghost.
(Verse 20)

Friends, Jesus did not tell us to pray out of fear. He told us to

pray, so as to exercise our authority and to enforce our victory
in our demonized communities.

This night, as you will be sleeping, a twelve year old demon

possessed girl will be sleeping inside an ocean for four hours.
You were sleeping when she went and you will still be
sleeping when she will be back.

At that meeting, you were the subject matter. How to afflict

your business; how to make sure your husband's works
suffers; how to bewitch your children to start misbehaving;
how to cause confusion in your ministry.

Yet, you will still be sleeping when she will leave for another
meeting tomorrow. When she comes back, you will still be
sleeping. Could that be reason things are the way they are in
your Family? Have you not slept enough?

If your parents knew this, they would not have suffered what
they suffered. They carried bible and church Manuals without
power. And no prayer life. Will you still recycle the mistakes
they made?

The greatest wickedness you will do to yourself is if you think

everything happening to you is ordinary. Don't use me to
judge your family. We might not have the same challenges and
the same kind of enemies. Gone are days when you don't go to
church because another sister stops going.

Or you sit at home waiting for church bulk SMS before you
take your place. Your friends might have other persons
standing in the gap for their family. Stop doing fine boy. Stop
73
pretending that all is well. You need to pray. What if God is
waiting for you to set your family free from ancient embargo?
Will you continue sleeping like someone without assignment?

This is one of the nights you can wake up and stand in the gap
for your family. From 12am or 1am or 2am, me, Iyke Oriaku
will continue where I stopped. And to be honest with you, to
the glory of God, testimonies are flooding in. Anyone that did
not teach you about spiritual warfare did not teach you much
things.
Jesus said: "And ye shall receive power..." Because He knew
that there are powers from your mother's side and father's side.
He knew there are powers in your business place. He knew
that the demons controlling your village will not want you to
rise above your mates who are confused and messed up.

If you are ignorant of it, you do that to your peril. If you can
speak in tongues, get ready this night. If you cannot speak in
tongues. If you desire it, get ready also. Because something
from heaven will enter you. I give the Holy Ghost permission
to replace every trace of weakness in your life with
supernatural strength, now. Are you ready to stand in the gap
for yourself and your family?

Then, let us pray!

74
 Chapter 17
ASK THE OONI OF IFE, HE
CAN TEACH US BETTER

A sk him, before he took over that office, something

else took over him. Before he sat on that throne
publicly, there were prices he paid secretly.

Why everybody in Yoruba land now bows to him is because

they know that he has bowed to something. Before you see a
young man elders are bowing to, check that young man, he is
bowing to something greater than they have seen.

Age does not stop the 'honour' sacrifice brings. If you get too
familiar with him, the altar he bows to will give you wound.
Men don't bow to men who bows to nothing. Honour has a
cost and money cannot buy it. It is paid for by sacrifices. Ask
for the price of the OIL you want to carry in our time, sir, and
pay for it.

When you see some young men older men are respecting in
ministry, don't feel bad, there is something they have paid for.
You were on Facebook doing argument, while they were in the
secret crying to God for OIL. And when He that sees in secret
began to honour them openly, you thought they are the ones
looking for men to honour them. Any Christian that feels bad
when he sees men honouring the men God Himself has
honoured, that believer is a witch. It is eternally dangerous to
talk against a man you don't know what price he is paying.
Ooni of Ife don't beg people to respect him. And that you are
angry with him cannot stop him from what he represents in the
'realm of the spirits'. Because he has paid his price.

75
Man of God, stop fighting people to respect you. If they have
seen the OIL, you will not be the one forcing them to honour
you. I pity a man who thinks that honour comes by how many
comments and likes anyone gets on Facebook. I cry for people
who think it is by your degree and connections and grammar
and erudition.

Sir, ask questions, something happens after you see him

jumping on pulpit that you don't know about. When he goes
offline, you don't have idea what he is doing. You cannot be
eating the way you do and expect to carry a phenomenal Oil in
our generation.

The man you are talking with daily or chatting with online,
you don't know the last time he ate food cooked with fire. You
don't know the last time he slept with his wife. Sir, ask for the
cost of the anointing you want to carry and cry to God to help
you to pay for it.

Any glory not gotten in the place of prayer will evaporate. If

that vision has not made you to lose appetite for food, it might
not take you anywhere. If you cannot give out your food
because of what God showed you, sir, your vision must really
be very small. Altars controls thrones. And what sustains
altars are sacrifices. And sacrifices are made with pains.

Man lost his dominion in the garden through food. That was
why Jesus came and started with fasting. Satan understood
that Jesus has understood the code, that was why he rushed to
tempt Him with the same food. But Jesus disappointed him.

Ah! If Jesus had turned that stone to bread, like one of the
fathers of faith in our time, Rev Sam Tukurah said: “The
Maker would have ended up as a Baker”. And what an eternal
disaster it would have been for humanity. Some people have
eaten their family liberation in canteens and restaurants.
Many people who are supposed to be handling great power
and anointing are still on the dining table morning, afternoon
and night, dragging food.
76
If you are afraid to have stomach ulcer out of fasting, there are
level of demons that will never be afraid of you. By the grace
of God, I am a price preacher, because I grew up seeing over
one thousand young men of God everyday of my life, for two
decades.

I saw those that depended on 'grace' and never missed any

meal. Because to them Christ has paid it all. I also saw the
limitation they had in the spirits.

I saw those that depended on degrees and certificates, because

to them, Paul was used more by God because he was more
educated. But they did not know that there were many people
more educated than Paul in his days that also preached the
gospel but were never heard of.

Ask questions sir, it was not Paul's education that made him
the greatest. It was the price he paid in the place of prayer and
fasting and studying. Whatever he went to do in the mount of
Arabia for those years, however he fought with the beasts of
Ephesus. Those were the edge he had above others. Not the
degrees he called dungs.

Don't let men who are tired in the place of prayer talk you out
of your prayer room. Certificate would not have helped Paul
when the demons in Malta sent vipers to end his ministry.
Cobras and vipers don't hear grammar. They obey the voice of
Fire. Who knows how successful the vipers sent to our
ministries and families has been while we are busy bragging
with titles that has no eternal value.

Increase your level of knowledge, sir. Enroll in school, if you

can. But don't abandon your prayer altar. Don't let anyone talk
down the place of sacrifice of praying and fasting to you. If
not, soon, when you speak, newly recruited demons will come
and slap you INFRONT of your members.

77
Honour in the Kingdom starts from the knees. If you have to
start begging people to be talking good about you, then, it is
not honour. If you have to talk others down, so that people will
respect you, it is not honour. Honour doesn't shout. It doesn't
brag. It doesn't advertise. No matter how much a man God has
honoured hides, his generation will look for him.

You may not understand what he is preaching that is making

people to rush to his church. But check that guy, there is a price
he is paying in the place of prayer. Stop wishing for him to see
shame, because he has not even started yet. Because when a
man is addicted to the secret place of the Most High, he must
abide under the shadows of the Almighty.

Go and revive your prayer altar, sir. If not, you will soon lose
alignment. There is a demonic revival going on now. All those
who are serving Satan are paying some high level of demonic
prices now, more than ever. They are growing in their demonic
powers, to frustrate the man that God made. Politically and
economically etc.

What we need to combat this demonic program against the

end time church are men that are ready to pay the price. If not,
in the next few years, many genuine churches will fold. Many
genuine men of God will run out of stock and the enemy will
drink tea with their souls. If you love me, take me back to my
knees. If I can succeed there, I can conquer anywhere else.

If an idol worshipper can wield so much power after hiding

himself before dead gods, imagine what will happen when we
hide ourselves before the God that made heavens and the
earth?

Have you seen why Peter's shadow healed the sick? Have you
seen why Paul raised the dead? Have you seen why we should
be ashamed of this too much noise we are making and yet no

78
power? Too much packaging, yet, nothing is changing. Have
you seen why there are many Christian festivals here and
there, yet, no trace of revival. Is it not better we didn't come
into the kingdom at all, than being known in history as the
generation that spoke only Queen's English to the demons we
were supposed to chase away?

Friends, some of us are ashamed of this shamelessness. For

once, we accept that we have been carried away. Please, join
us in the place of prayer. Because, if we fail there, we have
failed everywhere else.

Let us pray!

 Chapter 18
WHY THE CHIEF PRIEST IN A VILLAGE
CURSED MY LATE FATHER AND GAVE
HIM SEVEN DAYS TO DIE!

Late Rev. David & Rev. Mrs. Lilian Oriaku

(The Parents of the Author)

M y father was posted to a village to start a branch of

the Assemblies of God Nigeria. And there was no
close source of drinking water. People used to walk
about two hours to get water to drink.

Actually, there was a close enough source of water. It was the

only river in the village and was dedicated to gods. A certain
snake lived inside it, a giant snake that was said to have lived
there for centuries. Within a few weeks, by the help of the
Holy Spirit, my father had preached Jesus in the entire village
and had converted a few boys and girls; and they were filled
with the Holy Ghost.

One day, in the presence of almost the whole community, he

took his boys to that river to pray. People were afraid for them.
Because from generation to generation, no one had stepped

80
into that water, except the chief priest who only went there to
present sacrifices for the snake to feast on. When they entered,
my father took a cup of water from the river, raised it up and
declared.
“Ye ancient serpent, I curse you! I sack you from this river! In
the presence of all these ones you have held bound, I declare
that this place shall no more be your residence! I disgrace you
out of this community! The last time you came here is the last
time anyone will see you here . . . in the name of Jesus!”

When he wanted to drink the water, people shouted in alarm.

But he drank it anyway and, one after the other, gave some to
all his boys and girls, and they all drank. He turned to the
crowd and told them: “Let us see who will pack out of this
village: the snake or the children of the Living God.”

The village's chief priest was angry. He performed some

rituals and declared to the hearing of everybody that my father
and his boys and girls had seven days to live – unless they
were ready to make some costly sacrifices. If they did not do
so, he said, all of them would die from a runny stomach.

The whole village was tense. Already, by then, people had

begun to troop to our house to condole with us. When they saw
my siblings, they seemed to be telling themselves: “See those
poor children . . . their father will soon die.” Some asked my
mother: "How will you train these children when your
husband dies?”

But she kept replying them: “My husband will not die. A snake
that is cursed from Eden has no power to kill my husband. He
that is inside my husband is greater than he that is inside that
river.” Hallelujah!

During the seven days, my father and his young converts

regularly fetched drinking water from the river. My mother
used it to cook at home. Sometimes, they would swim in the

81
same river and the whole village would gather to watch them.

But during those seven days, the snake did not show up again.
The sacrifices of goats and chicken the chief priest had made
to her every morning and night were all there untouched. And
nobody had sighted the snake anywhere.

After ten days, my dad and his young converts were still alive
and healthy. People gave them one more month to die, saying,
“Maybe the snake wants to take them unawares.” But three
months passed, and yet none of them had a runny stomach, a
fever or a headache. And during those three months, nobody
had sighted the snake in that river. The village head called a
meeting one evening and told everyone:

“Whatever power chased this snake away will be worshipped

in this village. Whatever power has kept these people alive for
three months will also keep us all alive if we start drinking
from this river.”

From that day, the whole village started drinking water from
that river. And nobody ever saw that snake again. And that was
how the village was converted to the living God. Many other
churches started coming in. Hallelujah!

Friends, it is not African Magic: this is not a Chinwetalu Agu

or Pete Edochie movie. The difference between the early
church and the church in our time is that we have lost the Holy
Ghost. The emphasis has changed from the Holy Ghost to
miracle money and miracle cars and miracle marriages. No
more does majority of believers in today's church seek the
power of God.

We have replaced Him with our man-made doctrines and

dictums. We have choked Him out of our services so that
ritualists would be comfortable enough to stay and keep
82
bringing in money. He has gone. And we are happy without
Him because we know that if He comes, He will interrupt us
and spoil our 'business.' If He comes, He will come as a mighty
rushing Wind. He will blow open the eyes of the members we
are using threats and charms to keep. And they will start
asking one another:

"Now that our eyes are open to see the human skulls buried in
this church; now that we have seen that they are pasturing us
towards Hell, what shall we do?”

The church was better off when we were 'poorer.' When we

used to meet in school classrooms and under trees, occult men
in our communities used to fear and respect us. But now that
we have moved into our one million-capacity cathedrals, they
can see that we are no more who we used to be. In their covens,
they refer to us as: 'The generation that sold the Fire they
received from their fathers.' And they wonder how we can
expect them to follow us to Jesus when we use His name to
defraud people.

My heart bleeds whenever I see the powerlessness in some

churches. Muslims are looking for both political and spiritual
power. But we are gathering people in church every Sunday
looking for visas and contracts. Occult men can sacrifice
anything to get not just money, but also power. And that is
why, with their demonic powers, they are the ones controlling
all the money in town. Unfortunately, it is only the church in
our time that is sacrificing the power of God for mundane
things, no thanks to our greed and lust.

And no wonder with all the money we have gotten, we are now
raising kwashiorkor-afflicted members who are being
disgraced in their offices by those men with occult powers.
Friends, the revival we believe God for is for the return of the
Holy Ghost. We must cry to Heaven for Him to come back. We

83
stink without Him, and the odour is putrefying. The church in
our hands is in great pains and the poignancy has gotten to an
alarming rate! Our ego has failed us. Our packaging has
disgraced us.

Let Him come once again and inhabit a few men and women
that would give Him space. And then, I am sure the whole
world would watch what Heaven will use them to do in just a
short time. I don't want to be a spectator anymore. I want to be
a player in this soon-coming move of God.

Demons cannot be inside my church dancing skelewu, and

telling their colleagues that if my late father were the pastor of
my church, they would not be comfortable to enter my church
because the fire would be too much!

Witches cannot attend my next crusade in the stadiums and

start laughing at me, telling themselves that if it had been
Benson Idahosah's crusade every chair in the stadium would
be too hot for them to sit down on. Oh Lord, who knows if
there are demons somewhere celebrating that they have
watered down the fire in your mouth?

I don't know if they are drinking beer in Hell now, celebrating

the fact that your ministry is no more their problem. And now,
they have even sent people to bring you money with which to
complete the building of your cathedral – because they know
you will never preach against sin from your pulpit. Why don't
you join me to pray thus? –

"Lord, show me mercy and set me on fire again. Anybody can

go. But, Lord, I don't want to miss out on what You are doing
in my generation! I want to see a genuine revival in my time.
And, if it pleases You, Lord, I am available. Enlist me in Your
army!

"How can You miss my father in my community when I am

84
here! Lord, there are many demonic thrones to uproot in
communities close to me! There are many more ancient
snakes that must not show up again in some rivers in my time.
Lord, please, stop missing the dead when I am alive and
available!

My friends, this is my daily plea to Him who called me. I don't

know about you. Many people have already gotten tired of
hanging around churches, looking for who would mention
their names and cases from the pulpit. They are sick of running
around, looking for this or that prophet to 'see' for them. Right
now, they have gone to surrender at the altar so as to be filled
with the Holy Spirit; and so they can go home and settle
ancient matters in their families.

My dad and his team defeated that ancient snake. It was not
because my father was a pastor but because they were all filled
with the Holy Spirit. You cannot be filled with the Holy Spirit
and still be subject to the control of evil spirits. Demons
cannot 'press' you every night when you have Him. How can
you carry fire and demons still sleep with you in your dreams
and, each time, you wake up with a cloying mess in your
shorts?

Friend, you need the Holy Ghost. You need the fire! Stop
playing church. Stop depending on a preacher to call your
name from the pulpit. You too can go back home and make a
decree in your business and marriage or ministry, and things
will turn around. How can you carry the Holy Ghost and be
running away from the compound you are living in because
secret cult members also live there? Tell those that have not
forgotten what they saw in the days of our fathers: God is
about to restore His power to his church in our time.

A mighty restoration is coming. All the years the caterpillars

and locusts destroyed in the church, will God restore even
85
seven-fold; and, this time, with greater power. I am very sure
that God is counting on us to take to our knees to activate the
next thing He will do in our time.

How many shrines have caught fire because of you, sir and
madam? None? And you are on Facebook looking for who
liked or who did not like your pictures or posts? You see, I am
done with religion and religiosity. I have separated myself
from the gospel of grammar. The wicked demons in our time
do not care about men with a dictionary anointing.

There are powers that have sworn that we would not go higher
than where we are now. Satan has commissioned his best
agents to make sure our voices are not heard in our time. In
their last meeting, they vowed to make sure that nobody in
your father's house will handle glory. Fresh altars have been
erected to stop your church from growing further than it is
now.

More blood has been poured on the altar of the coven where
they have sworn never to let you carry your miracle. But we
cannot remain powerless in the midst of all the schemes of
Hell. What we are seeing is not all that God kept for us. There
are powers holding us down. Revival meant for our cities are
being boycotted by powers that ought to be part of it.

How can we be on Facebook and everywhere fighting

ourselves when our villages are being taken over by wicked
men and women? Brothers and sisters, we need power to
reclaim our cities from ancient evil powers. I don't know about
you, sir; I don't know about you, madam. But, for me, I see no
other route to ultimate and divine power except through
prayer. If we must see revival in our time, we must pray.
Nothing else will work!

It is obvious that God is willing to give us back our

communities. This is not all that wants for us. Ancient snakes
86
may be getting fatter in our cities, with demonic altars
growing stronger in our families. Somebody must stand in the
gap to sack demons sitting on the destiny and glory of
members of your family.

Enough of speaking in tongues for only five minutes in church

and watching TV for five hours at home. If my father did not
rise up in that community to disgrace the snake, the villagers
might still be trekking two hours to get drinking water because
a much nearer water source was declared off-limits by the
chief priest and his snake goddess.

Sister, somebody must rise up to take a stand in your father's

house. And that person is you. Sit down this weekend and pray
to God to help you grow the fire you carry. Some of the
prophets you are running to may actually have less fire than
you do.

Sit down somewhere and grow your fire! This Christianity of

convenience cannot take you to your next level of glory.
Unless you want to keep writing down the same prayer topics,
from year to year and, yet, with no trace of glory, take out time
to work on yourself. You don't know how many live chickens
or goats they are feeding the demons fighting your glory every
day. You must step up your spirituality.

There are ancient gates that must be lifted for glory to come
into our ministries. We are too idle; that is why we notice
people who are talking against us online and offline. If you see
the ocean where demons and their agents are discussing your
matter, planning to stop you and make sure you do not gain
any weight on earth, then you would not mind all these
domestic backbiters anymore. And that is when you will
rekindle the fire of your prayer altar.

In Africa, we inherited demonic thrones. Our fathers

bequeathed to us ancient serpents. Americans were lucky to
87
have fathers that served God. And that foundation is still
speaking better things for subsequent generations. But our
fathers sold us out to wicked deities. They gave us over to
pythons and cobras. Some of our communities are under the
rulership of vipers. No wonder we are like this: the most
hardworking race, yet the most backward in everything.

Brother, why do you still allow brethren to beg you to take

God seriously when there are ancient voices speaking that you
will never see glory until the day you die? Why are you still
playing with your salvation?

You are empowering thrones against your life. Satan wants

you to get even weaker than this so that the serpent handling
your matter would gain more strength and eventually
overpower you. All the demonic inhabitants of Hell know you
by name. And they have seen the colourful future God
designed for you. That is why they have instituted an altar
against you. Satan is afraid of whom God wants to make you
into.

The witches in your village are not your problem anymore.

They are only powerful because you have lost your own
spiritual power. And they don't want to kill you but to make
sure your prayers are unanswered. They want you to carry the
Bible and still beg for food.

Can you invite someone to church when you owe them

money? Can you tell your landlord to repent when you have
not paid him any house rents for two years now? These have
affected your evangelism life because you cannot be bold
enough to tell people to follow you to the God that does not
seem to be able to wipe away your own tears. How pathetic!
As Jesus said: “An enemy hath done this” – Matthew 13:28.

Forget these jeans and shirts we take pictures in. Forget all
these stunts we do on Facebook, Instagram and Twitter. The

88
truth is that we should be beyond where we are now. Others
might not know. But we do.

How long will you keep sleeping at night as if you have no

enemy to contend with? When will you stop this five-minute
prayer you do every day? Friend, you must trust God from
today to baptize you afresh with the spirit of grace and
supplication.

This is why, long ago, we made up our minds to keep this fire
burning! There is a lot we have seen about our future that must
not be aborted because of spiritual complacency and lethargy.
What we are seeing now is a small slice of what God showed
us.

That's why we don't need a preacher to tell us to run away from

anything that is separating us from God, because anything that
separates you from God blocks the inflow of glory to your life.
And we have seen the future. We have seen the glory ahead.
We need to carry the power of God if we must make any mark
on earth. Therefore, at this juncture, we cannot sacrifice the
hunger in our hearts on the table of momentary pleasure.

The altar of our hearts must not be polluted, because a lot

depends on it. I don't know if all the dreams God showed you
have come to pass. In case there is no altar fighting against
your rise anywhere, please note that some of us have many
altars that have been mandated to stop us. And if we go to bed
now, our lights will be put off.

Please, pray for your friend, Iyke Oriaku, and his kind. Pray
for me, brethren. But, in case there are still a few things God
has shown you which you have not seen yet, then, from now, it
is time to “. . . give him no rest, till he establish, and till he
makes Jerusalem a praise in the earth” – Isaiah 62:7.

Let us pray!

89
 Chapter 19
BE CAREFUL BEFORE THEY
STEAL YOUR FIRE!

T hey saw him running naked and they went and told the
girl he wanted to marry. The girl rushed back the next
day and returned his engagement ring to him. That he
has disgraced her. That her parents will not be proud to have
him as son in- law. Because the whole community had seen his
nakedness.

Friends, he was heartbroken. The church rejected him. They

stopped him from climbing the pulpit. He was deserted. And
was living in a psychological prison, worse than the prison of
Portiphar.

Nobody cared to Know why he was running naked. They

didn't care to know why he lost his cars and investments. They
didn't want to know why he was demoted in office. They
concluded that God has left him. Just like someone reading
this now.

They are saying it's because of your bad character and

immoral lifestyles, that is why you are not married yet. They
don't want to know how many men that left your life because
you said NO SEX BEFORE MARRIAGE. Sir, they don't care
about how many times you rejected to add 0 to figures in
office, that would have made him a millionaire. But because
they saw you trekking to church, they said they God is not
good to you.
90
It happened to Joseph. He is the one we are talking about here.
Perhaps, the girl he wanted to marry dumped him because the
world has seen his nakedness. If only she had known that the
man she was rejecting was going to be the next prime minister
in the land. If only she had someone that would have told her
to identify with that guy in his days of nakedness. I am sure she
would have ended up as the wife of the Prime minister of
Egypt.

My sister, that man you rejected because he is trekking might

be trekking to Government House, to become the next
governor your state will have. That man you don't like his
sense of dressing might just be managing, because he is
preserving the prophecies on his head from decadence. He has
seen shrines to bow to and collect money, but, he is waiting for
God's time.

He has seen other General Overseers going to nearby villages

to submit their ministries to native doctors to have crowd, but
he said over his dead body will he pastor a church powered by
queen of the coast. Don't marry a man that can no bear hunger
and shame. Don't marry a man that cannot be laughed at. Don't
marry a man that is ashamed of being seen naked.

I know your husband will be rich and wealthy. But, if he

cannot afford to be poor, for one month, I am afraid, he might
use you for rituals tomorrow any time money finishes.

God forbid!

Many churches are no more preaching the message of

‘nakedness'. We are now standing on the pulpit to mock men
going 'naked' because of their love for righteousness. We call

91
them hungry and disloyal people. But we praise those that
sells human parts and bring the money to pay tithe.

We celebrate those that dedicate 3 cars in 3months, even when

we know that they are serial fraudsters.

We say they are doing well because they have sugar daddies
all over the places that gives them the money they come to sow
into our church cathedral building projects.

Married men will abandon their wives and be carrying them

around, and when they come back they mount our pulpits and
thank God for providing destiny helpers for them. And we
pour them oil, to go and prosper.

Friends, the standard of the world before they respect you is

that you must have money. Formerly, the standard of the
church for respect was the fear of the Lord. But today, how
rich you are determines if some pastor will pick your phone
call or not. No wonder, everybody is doing everything to make
money, so that when they testify of federal contract in church,
they too will be respected, even if they slept with directors
brother the contracts.

What a time!

God need to raise a generation of more preachers again in our

time that will teach their members how to run 'naked', no
matter who is mocking them. All these boys who have rented
halls everywhere, rolling out handbills and posters don't
understand the cost of glory.

92
They think glory answers to night vigils. They think telling
their members to shout Fire 30 times will change anything in
the realm of the spirit. No wonder, after shouting Fire for
2years, without seeing the money, marriages and visas we
promised them, they will join the other church in the hall next
door and start shouting Fire again.

What a cheap Christianity we are presenting to our members,

as if Christ died only for us to have money. As if men did not
have money before He came. Sister, what Jesus came for is to
reconcile you to God. He wants a relationship with you.

Money, jobs and marriage are nothing to Him. He wants to

make you something greater than just a bank staff. Being a
married woman is not enough. He wants to make you
something bigger than that. But He is asking: "What can you
let go for my Name sake?”

The code of influence is in desertion. The password to a life of

value is in separation. Who you are before heaven is
determined what you can let go for Christ's sake. Your value in
eternity will be measured, not for the things you got, but the
things you lost because of Christ.

There is no church God sent not to preach about hell fire from
year to year. No matter your mandate, if men don't hear
messages that will open their eyes to know that there is a place
called hell fire, something has happened to that mandate.

We cannot gather people who are going to hell from clubs and
hotels and bring them inside the hall we call church and not
tell them there is life after death. That the real life begins when
we all die.

93
And what shall it profit us all to gain the while world and lose
our souls in hell. If this scripture is silence in your mandate,
sir, something is wrong.

Brother, let them stop laying empty hands on your head. Glory
doesn't come by laying of hands. If not, everybody in Africa
will be in Guiness Book of Records.

Glory has a path and it is just few people that are ready to toe
that road. The cost of majesty is in Proverbs 18:1... "Through
desire a man, having SEPARATED himself...”

If the church in my time will go back to the message of

SEPARATION, more than this demon hunting we are doing,
giants will be raised under us without stress. But we gather
them and keep telling them that their problems are enemies in
their villages and everyday, they are disturbing their
neighborhoods with prayers, cursing some people that did
nothing to you.

Sister, forgive us for lying to you. You are still stealing in your
place of work and we have never preached against it. You are
still living in the apartments rented by married men you are
sleeping with. You are the one adding figures in your place of
work. Embezzling the company's money. Yet, we only tell you
that your enemies are fighting you.

We are encouraging you to keep shouting that your enemies

should die. How can you tell God to kill your enemies when
you are God's enemies?

94
Please, don't blame us. What do you expect when young men
that knows nothing about the Cross rented halls and call it
church, and start shouting every Sunday morning? How can a
man take you to a place he has not been? And somebody is
saying we should stop praying for a revival, that revival has
already come.

Is this the revival our fathers cried and died praying for God to
give them?

Oh! What a revival championed by some men and women

who have no clue of what Calvary is all about. Revival of
sound system and big car packs. Revival where people are not
challenged to live a better Christian life. Revival of coming to
church to copy notes of how to make money and not how to
overcome sin. Lord, please, deliver the church in our time
from such cosmetic revival!

The fruits of the revival that broke out from Acts 2:2 was the
gospel of 'nakedness'. Men chose to starve than to soil their
hands in evil. Beautiful ladies looked at their husband's to be
and told them: "It is better I lose you than for me to lose my
stand with God. Take me to altar, only after then, will I follow
you to the bed”.

Many of them lost some 'wonderful and caring' men who

could not wait till marriage to have sex. But they never
worried, as long as they never lost the joy of their salvation.
The pulpit of that time was responsible for that responsible
generation of Christians.

Many pulpits in our time today is also responsible for this

95
spiritual decline. A generation of preachers that calls sugar
daddies destiny helpers are leading people to hell fire. A
generation of preachers that anoints the private parts of
prostitutes and tells them that God will be bringing rich men
their ways are pastoring people to eternal damnation.

People are making money through abominable ways and

when they get to church, we call it EVIDENCE of the Oil we
carry. Shame on us! When again will the pastors in my time
begin to tell their members who brings big envelopes to:
"Consider thy ways"?

Almost everybody is looking for money from their members

without minding their miserable Christ less souls.

I rather eat mama put than eat in Sheraton hotel, paid for by the
honorarium I got from mami water. I rather enter night bus and
sleep in public motor park than to fly first class from the
money I used charm to collect from people during
ministration.

If you want to invite us to program, sir, make your plans. If

there is no money, say it and it will not stop us from coming.
Money doesn't move us. What moves us is your burden. There
is no place money can drive you to that our burden will not
drive us to...

Your packaging can make you gain pulpits, but our burden
will make the pulpits you are looking for to look for us...

It is just a matter of time. We love honorarium too. But we dont

depend on it. Because honorarium can not make a man a

96
voice. Instead we have seen uncountable men and women
who lost their stature in our generation because of
honorarium. If there is no money for the kind of publicity you
want, then, wait.

Don't go and borrow money and come and put pressure on us

to raise funds from your members to cover the cost of the
program. Because when we come, we might not play along.
Better still, you can look for other preachers who God always
tells to raise money in every program they are invited to
preach.

Many host pastors spend more time preparing for the money
they will spend on a program than preparing for what God
wants to do in the program. I hate pressures. If there is no
money, post pone the program. You can't be preparing
financially for a program you have not prepared prayerfully
for.

That is why, the fireful preacher will come and go, yet, the
church is still cold. Don't blame the visiting preacher. You are
the cause. You spent more time looking for money for the
program, thereby, you lost the burden for the program. These
are pressures that has sent many genuine boys from Zion to
Babylon.

Because they were under pressure to raise funds to cover the

cost of the programs where they were invited. That is why they
came along with people to testify they have been healed. That
is why most of the people they give 'accurate' prophecies to
are not seen again in church after the program.

97
Because they came with the guest ministers, to act healed, so
as to motivate members to sow seeds. Unfortunately, many of
the host ministers knows this game. All they want is to see
money coming out. Imagine the nonesense! Imagine the
shamelessness!

Yet, during Sunday school, they will still have the guts to
preach against false prophets.

Friends, my parents were pastors. I was born inside

Assemblies of God Church, 99Umule Road, Aba. My late
parents started that particular church, with nine of my elder
ones, we grew up in different parsonages, following our
parents from one missionary transfer to the other, from village
to village. There is something I saw in the pulpit then that is
very hard to find on our pulpits today.

I grew up in the time in the church when guest ministers care

more about setting hearts on fire than raising funds from
members. I saw a time in the church when visiting evangelists
preach with tears in their eyes, begging members to accept
Jesus and grow in Him.

Then, there host don't use to put pressures on them to raise

funds. They were not visiting them in their hotel rooms to tell
them the needs of the church, or giving information of the rich
people in the church to use as prophecies, so as to dupe them.

If they ever met before the meeting, it was to pray and fast, in
deep intercessions, for God to set men ablaze in the meeting.
But today, things have changed.

Where are those days when visiting evangelists will not

accept to eat at night after a program because many people
98
didn't run to surrender to Jesus in the meeting? Where are the
days when they will lock themselves inside the church
vestries, from morning till evening?

Crying for God to move again in those communities and give

them testimonies that will make people start dropping their
charms and start looking for any church to join.

What we have today are many host ministers looking for

young preachers that will raise funds for them. And young
ministers that will climb the pulpit to use their gifts to steal
from gullible members.
Revival programs where no message of reconciliation was
preached. Instead, it was all about fund raising. Holy Ghost
nights where no one received the baptism of the Holy Ghost.
Instead they all rushed back home to bring their 6 months
salary.

Pentecost Nights were nobody climbed that pulpit to preach

about evangelism. Instead, everybody was told to come and
sow seeds to tap into the grace of the prophet.

Lord, please, give us shame again.

And, don't leave us this way.

Sister, don't let any pastor pasture you to an empty future. If

there is a place you need now, it is a place where they will
teach you how to be a better born again. Since you have been
copying notes in church of 300ways to become a millionaire,
where are the millions?

Since you have been copying 200ways to attract your desired

man, where is the man?

99
There is no problem with going to church with notes, but it is
time to make a decision to grow in Christ. Your throne is
empty. God is waiting for you to occupy it. But there is a price
to pay. And it is a price of 'nakedness'.

Let them laugh at you now because you are squatting with
your cousins. Not because you have not seen rich married men
that will rent you a duplex, so that you will be their mistresses.
Let them be mocking you because you don't wear expensive
cloths.

You are preserving the prophecies on your head that they don't
understand. Your throne is more valuable than any rich man
anywhere. Don't lose sight of that throne.

Run naked! Starve! Trek! Don't compromise!

The throne is getting closer to you than when you began this
Christian race. There might still be little more disappointment
on the road. You might still cry again. Those you helped inside
the prison might get married or get good jobs and forget you or
even betray you and accuse you.

Don't worry. The throne is getting closer. I understand the

lonely nights. Leaving alone in a house, from week to week,
no one to appreciate your beautiful hairstyles. No one to eat
your delicious meals with you. If you start living with a man,
nobody will beat you. But the fear of God has restrained you.

Sister, continue in that loneliness. You are qualifying for the

throne. If Joseph had fallen with that woman, another man

100
would have taken his throne. And he would have retired as a
civil servant, under a miserable pension scheme, and died a
wasted man.
Many of our uncles who have gotten stranded on the road of
destiny also went to church the way we are doing now.

They sang in choir. They also sowed some seeds of money and
prayed and shouted Fire the way we are shouting now. But
they got discouraged halfway and lost sight of the throne and
began to compromise. They resorted to the Christianity of
'God will forgive'.And He kept forgiving, but since heaven
doesn't entrust glory in the hands of spiritual imbeciles, their
thrones were given to another.

They lived with great prophecies over their heads, but without
any result of the prophecies showing on their lives. They
carried Bibles but could not manifest glory. They were victims
of shortsightedness. It will not be our portion in Jesus Name.
Amen!

Friend, you have fallen under the anointing enough. They

have prophesied to you enough. They have poured oil on you
enough. They have conducted deliverance on you enough. It is
time to make a decision.

It is time to look at that man or woman luring you to sin and

shout: "How can I do this wicked thing against my God?"

Oh! Empty thrones are everywhere in our days. Where are

men and women of strong decisions? Where are those that will
pay the price of separation?

101
Are you ready my brother? Remember that when God took
Joseph to the throne he has paid for, his face did not change.
All the people that saw him when he was running naked still
recognized him. But God had already taken him to a level
where their local mockery could not mean anything to him
again.

Brother, they might not forget that they saw us under sun and
rain, trekking. They will still remember when we used to use 1
particular shoe in all the programs in 2years. They will
remember when we were squatting everywhere, with friends
and even foes.

But very soon, we will ascend the throne of glory. And by then,
"Every nation and every kingdom that will not serve (us) shall
perish, yea, they shall be utterly destroyed..." (Isaiah 60:12)

Throughout this week, ask God to kill your lust over material
things. Cry to Him to save you from yourself. I know there are
things you think you can never do without again. I mean,
destructive addictions holding you sway.

Yes, you know that you have a throne waiting for you. But you
also know that your lifestyle today is not agreeing with the
spirit of the throne God has designed for you. And sometimes,
you get tired of trying.

There is hope. There is grace on this page now. Wherever you

are now, if you mean it, you can quietly cry to God to help you.
Tell Him you are tired of falling and rising. You must not wait
till old age before you Mount your throne.
102
If Joseph did not climb that throne, his brethren would have
died of hunger before their time. And perhaps, there will not
be anything like Israel today. Don't wait till your parents suffer
and go to the grave before you separate yourself from people
and things that are keeping you far from your throne.

Your mind is wandering now. There are people you are

thinking about now, how to cut off from them. Don't listen to
that voice telling you to postpone that decision till after this
coming weekend.

That voice telling you to wait till you graduate from school is
the voice that has spoken to many people and they did not
become what God created them to be till they grew older and
died.

Listen to that voice telling you now to end that relationship

now. Obey that voice that is telling you to delete those
numbers from your phone. Tell Satan that you are ready to
starve, if need be. Let him know that the throne God has
prepared for you is too valuable than anything he has for you.

Don't let anything else delay you from making a commitment

now. I was at this point you are now, not too long ago. But I
cried to God and was determined not to let Him go. He saw my
hunger to be a better Christian, and He helped me.

If you too can cry that same cry now. I am sure that He will
show up. "Behold Now is the accepted time, behold now is the
time of salvation..."
If you are ready, let us pray!

A MESSAGE TO THOSE WHO WANTS
TO BECOME POPULAR IN OUR TIME.

M ichael Jackson reigned and died. Whitney

Houston banged and died. Tupac Shakur reigned
and died. Many years after, they are still in the
grave. But Jesus reigned and died, 3days after, the grave could
not hold Him down.

And thousands of years after, He is still alive. Why will I want

to be like people that died but could not conquer the grave?
Don't mind any youth that is envying Flavour because he left
the church and now singing in the clubs.

Don't envy Davido and the 30billion in his account. Don't

envy WizKid and Techno. I love it that they are using their
talents to create Mitch for themselves. But there is no reason a
young man in the Christ to envy his mates in the streets.

Tuface, Psquare and Timaya are the only ones that have
reigned longer among their mates that started with them. But
like Nicole Gravity sang: "No musician can reign forever. One
day Naija go bone their face...”

Few years from now, you won't hear there songs in the clubs.
Why will you abandon the choir stand in your church to start
running to sing like Techno, so that you will blow We may not
have made money enough to buy our fiancé Porsche car like
104
After a Night, at Delta a R.CCG, Asaba, the youths caught the fire and
entered the Street the next morning and were blasting in tongues
for hours- it was known as Evangelist by Tongues

Ministering For “The Awilikis”, His Spiritual Parents

Ministering at
Assemblies of God National
Camp, Okpoto

106
Davido bought for Chioma his fiancé. But there is something
we have that is more than 30 billion...

We don't want to blow. Any man that is in Christ has already

blown. You may not hear our songs in all the mix tapes in
Alaba Market, Lagos. People may not dance our songs in
clubs. But if angels are dancing our songs in heaven, then, we
don blow. We may not win Grammy Awards. Our songs may
not be nominated in BETAwards. But we are not complaining.
What we have is greater than all the awards put together. We
might not sign contracts by multi national companies.

Infinix phone might not see our faces worth advertising their
phones like Davido. Pepsi might not enter contracts with us
like they did to Techno. We are already in a contract with the
God that made heaven and earth. Help me ask that young man
in your church that wants to start singing dirt songs that:
"What shall it profit a man to win the whole musical awards on
earth and go to hell?”

The crown God promised us is more valuable. Please, brother,

fame or no fame. Shows or no show. Endorsements or no
endorsements. We don't want to be like Michael Jackson. We
don't want to be like Whitney Houston and Tupac. We want to
be like Jesus.

If you are in Christ, I want to encourage you to know that what

we have is better than what any man outside Christ has. God
will preserve us till we meet Him face to face. In Jesus Name.
Let us pray!

107
 Chapter 21
THIS IS TO THOSE GENUINE BORN
AGAIN BELIEVERS IN CHURCH WHO
HAVE BEEN CRYING FOR GOD TO HELP
THEM STOP FALLING INTO THE SIN OF
FORNICATION. (DON'T READ IF YOU
HAVE NEVER FALLEN BEFORE)

E ven if I carry women and fornicate with them after

typing this post, God will still forgive me if I ask Him
for forgiveness. Even if I sleep with my female church
member and ask God for forgiveness before going for
program. Once I climb the pulpit, the power of God will still
move.

But friends, I don't want to be that kind of preacher. I don't

want to be that kind of believer that will keep asking God for
forgiveness over a particular thing, day after day.

Lord, help Iyke Oriaku. I don't just want to talk about the grace
that forgives sin 200times. I want the grace that empowers a
man not to fall to sin, no matter the pressure. Some people will
never have erection for any lady if they don't love that lady.

There are some ladies that will never visit a brother, let alone,
kissing him, if not that they were already in love. Love takes
believers to bed of fornication faster than lust. When both of
you will lie down on the remote control of television inside
that room, you won't even know.

108
Even the bible you were reading before she came in, you won't
know when she will use her left leg to pull it down from the
bed. It started with love, from a good heart, but it ended up in
fornication... And trust me, the first time is usually not easy to
be the last time.

Until many times, it results to abortions and heartbreaks. God

will forgive. Yes, He will.

Whether anyone likes it or not. He will. If you do it again, He

will still forgive. But in the school of glory, you will remain a
fool. Because Nobody promotes a man for failing a particular
exam.

Something dies when we sin. More things die again when we

sin again. I am not talking to you, sir. I am talking to those like
me who wants to grow in Christ. I am talking to those Who
have been confessing one particular sin anytime altar call is
made. Who don't just want to be known as holy people before
others, but inside they are struggling.

It is time to grow.

Lust is strong but love is stronger. Lust can deceive but love
can destroy. If they leave you inside a room with a girl you
don't love, you might not even remember that you are with a
woman. But when you are behind doors with someone you
have love for, it will take only God to save you. It was not lust
that killed Samson. It was love.

He only lusted for all the ladies he was messing up with, and
he never gave them his secrets. That was why the Philistines

109
was happy when they found a girl he could love. Delilah was
the only girl that was mentioned that he loved. No wonder, he
could not survive it. Beware of that lady you love. He or she
can make you fall faster than anybody else.

I have made enough mistakes in my life, both as a member and

as a preacher that I can help someone else. You can't continue
like this. You are the only one that knows how dirty you feel
after the whole thing.

Sometimes, you hate the person even more. Unless your

conscience has been taken to mortuary. Trust me, we can be
better than this. Most people in church that have fallen into
some dirty things did not fall into it with prostitutes, but with
those they love.

It is hard to see a choir girl sleeping with a boy that sings inside
the club, no matter how handsome the guy is. But it is often
easy for her to fall for the guy that sings in the same choir with
her.

Let us be truthful. Love has made more people in church fall

into sin of fornication than lust has done. Satan is not a child.
You can call him anything, but don't call him a kid. He knows
that you can't fall to those chronic sinners outside church. That
is why he uses your love for the guy in church to offend God.

If you will tell yourself the truth, you will know that you only
failed to that person because you loved him, not because he
was rich or famous. Sir, There are many demands on us.
Nations are waiting.

110
What God has shown us in the dream is waiting for us to grow
into spiritual maturity before He will confer on us the honour
due us. The road to glory is very scanty and lonely, because
few pay the price of spotlessness. There is demand for
separation, sir. There is a cry of the spirit for holiness. You can
still stand again.

Trust me, many are waking up and are going back to who they
used to be in Christ before love began to distract them. They
are growing. You too can grow. Remember all the rich guys
you shunned their sexual offers because you wanted to please
God. Why will Satan still get you on the bed of fornication
now through that poor guy in church?

Boy, you know how many wealthy ladies coming after you
who are ready to buy you houses in choice cities, but you
refuse bluntly, even when you don't have money to renew your
rent all because you want to please God. Why will you now
start falling into that same sin because of the love you have for
that lady in your fellowship?

Sister, Forget about those gossiping with your name in the

choir. Many times God uses scandals and gossips to put a
check on our lives and to put us into the path of holiness.
Check all the people that allowed God to use scandals to
correct them, they usually turn out better than those
scandalizing them.

The Bible said that if you cover your sins, you will never
prosper. This is not a call to repackage and change method of
operation of your sinful ways. Don't change the address where
you guys you to meet to fornicate. Allow God to deal with you.

It is a call to repent and fall to God, asking for mercy. Paul

said: "When I was a child, I speak like a child..”

111
It is not a crime to be a child at sometime in your Christian
walk, but it is scary when a child refuses to grow. It is scary
when it is obvious that once a man mentions love, you open
your legs for him. It is scary why you have forgotten that the
trumpet can sound while you are in the arms of that person you
love that you are not married to yet and you will end in hell if
you are found wanting.

It all depends on your vision. There is who you will never

become if you continue celebrating sin, calling it weakness.
Because the Bible said that: "A double minded man is
unstable in all his ways..." And an unstable man cannot handle
glory.

Fight that love that is taking you to sin. Stop fighting those that
gossip you for what you actually do. They may not be there to
see that God has helped you outgrow that level, but the Bible
said that: "your light shall suddenly break forth ..”

Isaiah said that "all men shall see it together..." Talk to that
your partner. He too has a glorious plan ahead that is on the
line if both of you continue like this. What is the need using
just 20minutes to destroy a destiny that should resound till
eternity?

I cry for my friends who are trying their best to keep Faith, but
the only time they struggle is when they are in love. God will
help us. If He is helping some people somewhere, He will also
help you. That desire will die Until your wedding day, in Jesus
Name.

Let us pray!

112
 Chapter 22
THIS IS THE MESSAGE A HOMOSEXUAL
HEARD AND REPENTED. NOW, HE IS ON
FIRE. AND FALSE PROPHETS ARE TRYING
EVERY WAY TO BLACKMAIL HIM,
SO THAT HE WILL STOP EXPOSING THEM...

I f God is calling you to get into the revival ministry. Don't

wait to be as Holy as Kumuyi. Don't wait to be as humble
as Papa Adeboye. Don't wait to be as bold as Papa
OYEDEPO.

Don't wait to be as spiritually rugged as Pastor Enenche. Don't

wait to be as polished as Pst Chris Oyakhilome. Don't wait to
have integrity as much as Brother Gbile. Don't wait to be as
gifted as Apostle Suleiman.

Start from how you are. God will soon make you how He
wants you to be. Start it from that your hostel where they know
your history. Don't start a new Facebook account for those that
doesn't know you. Don't run to another city to people that are
not aware how you have been going to church and still
messing up.

Start that revival assignment in that same locality where they

know how many times you have gotten pregnant for unknown
men and aborted them all. Start in that campus how they know
all your fraudulent activities.

113
And please, believe me: You might still make more silly
mistakes. You might still see yourself committing different
terrible things that even you will hate yourself for. You will
lose friends. You will make many enemies. They will give
themselves assignments to be telling people that you are a
deceiver.

Witches and wizards will not be your problem. Occultic men

and women will not be your problem. Marine powers will not
be your problem. But Your fellow ministers will be your
greatest problems. Your fellow revival preachers or choristers
will fight you more than the juju priest in your community.

But don't back out from this assignment. Why I am saying this
is for you to get ready.

So that you will not think that your world has finished when
you see these days coming. If God can still be using someone
like Iyke Oriaku, trust me, He can use you more. Don't listen
to those that are custodians of your shameful history. Listen to
what God is saying about you now.

Don't hang around guys you cannot be real with. They cannot
help you. Run from people who are in secret rivalry with you.
They will drown you. When you get close, I will tell you that
you might not have been as stupid as I have been since I gave
my life to Christ and even since I started this revival
assignment.

I have technically ran away from everyone in my cause that is

looking at this thing we are doing as if it is by power and by
might. You won't see them pray for any man of God. But they

114
are the first to advertise the weakness and faults of fellow
preachers.

As if they don't have hidden struggles.

I don't feel comfortable around such people because there is

no love in them.

It's all mere bitterness coated with verses of the Bible. If you
know what it took God to save a soul. If you know what it took
Him to get someone into the ministry. You will know why it is
very hard for God to kill even a false prophets.

Everyday, He is waiting for them to come back to their senses.

But unfortunately, to the heartbreak of heaven, some of them
are getting deeper.

Boy, I don't know that sin you committed in your community

that is hunting you. Making it very hard for you to get
committed in church. Because you don't want people that
knows you to start calling you hypocrite. Please, forget about
those memories and move on with your assignment.

Even if you once lived with your boyfriend and everybody

knows. Now that God has helped you, still preach against it.
Even if you had abortion last week, still raise a voice against it.
If God has helped you, He can still help Another man through
your ministry.

Go back to that choir seat and sing again. Go back to that

fellowship again and hand your struggles over to God. Many
who are supposed to be spreading the revival fire are inside

115
some places, cold, because of the fear of what people will say
against them because of what they did against God some time
ago.

Satan is celebrating that they are missing in action from what

God wants to use them for in our time. But God is wondering
why they don't want to look unto Him and watch Him make a
message out of their mess. If there is anyone that should still
be preaching against sin, it is not Iyke Oriaku. Because Satan
brings to my memory all the sins I have I sinned since I
repented.

And he tries to make me feel inadequate to preach against it.

But that is when I usually preach against it very passionately.
And God usually gives us massive souls.

In our programs recently, a homosexual heard something like

what you are reading now and he ran out to the altar, crying to
God for mercy. His pastor sent me his testimony. To the glory
of God, that young man is on fire today and he has taken back
the spiritual position he has lost in his family because of the
stigma that demonic homosexual spirit has given him.

Testimonies are still pouring in from Benin City revivals we

just concluded. Some messed up boys and girls have been
declared wanted after that program. They have put off their
phones. They have gone to hide to let God realign their lives.
And settle them with Fire.

What you are reading is the kind of thing they heard us preach
and their lives is not the same again.

116
Iyke Oriaku is not like your pastor. That is why I am not eyeing
to preach in his church. He might be a man of God that has
never made some silly errors since he became a pastor. But I
am not like that. But we are waking up daily seeing how God is
helping us. And we are getting better day by day.

It is those that have put all their hopes in men that are having
sleepless nights because of their numerous atrocities. Why
you are using lies to cover lies is because you are afraid to lose
the men you used packaging to heap on yourself.

If it is God that raised you up, anybody can go as long as God

is still with you. Should all of us go to hell? Is it not better that
your sins are exposed and you repent and make heaven, than,
faking up realities. And anyone that talks against the areas you
are found wanting, you declare war against the person.

Yes, God has been faithful and has not allowed us to see
shame. The Bible said that "the goodness of God leads us to
repentance "... Not to remain in sin for grace to abound.

What we should be thinking about is how to be getting better

instead of protecting our dirty fame and sick reputations.
Many people are in hell now that never had any scandal all
their lives in ministry. But many who had massive scandals
latter made heaven, because they learnt from their mistakes
and God helped them to become better people.

Friends, I don't want to make name. I want to make heaven.

That is why I have not seen anyone anywhere I am afraid to
lose as long as I have not lost God. This journey is personal.
All of us will give account of the calling of God upon our lives.

117
What is the need using lies to gather people around you? Your
Facebook fans will not be there to speak for you on the
judgement day.

Man of God, why we cry everyday for God to help us in the

place of, prayer is because that is the only place God helps our
infirmities. Jesus said that man must pray daily, not because of
miracles. But because he wants our flesh to die. And it is only
prayer that can help a man.

Go back to that school where you used to preach before and

continue that assignment there. Ask God to set your prayer
altar on fire again. No matter how much they know about you,
remain there. That is where God changes the verdicts of men.
Let them continue writing down all your several errors in that
church.

It will not be long, God will use you to show the world that He
is still the God of all the flesh. And for your shame, He shall
give you glory.

Let us pray!

118
 Chapter 23
ASK A FALSE PROPHET YOU KNOW
VERY WELL, HE WILL ALSO CONFIRM
THIS STORY.

Y ou don't want to sell your soul to Satan in exchange

of crowd and money and power. You don't want to
join them to start sleeping with their fellow men to
start controlling influence.

You don't want to join them to be sleeping inside caskets to

have too much fame. You don't want to join them to swallow
eggs and to be putting diabolic rings inside their suits while
ministering, so as to hypnotise anyone and collect their cars
and landed properties.

You don't want to bury anything inside your church to give

you crowd in few months and yet, you don't want to pray. Sir,
what is your hope? They pay price for what they are
controlling. What price are you paying today for what you
want to control tomorrow?

Can I tell you that very soon, few of those loyal members will
leave your church, in search of men who have paid price for
the OIL you are too lazy to pay for? This thing is simple. Its
just that my generation loves show more than value.

119
We love empty fame without substance. We prefer running
from pulpit to pulpit, than sitting down and growing in power.
We love hanging around happening guys even when their is
nothing phenomenal happening around us. In the search to
become a voice, we have become a noise.

If all we can do is go online and talk against false prophets,

yet, with no testimony to show that we are genuine, then, we
were not properly tutored. If you say what I am, and if I need to
change, I learn from you and change. We don't need to be close
for God to use you to help my life. Forget the messenger. Grab
the message.

Egypt has failed many. But if our hope must be in God, we

must look for Him now that He is near and now that He can be
found. The future is going to be filled with emptiness if there is
not price we are paying today. When last did you fast the way
you used to fast before?

When last did you miss you comfortable bed? But you are
competing with that false prophets nearby who buried things
in his church to control crowd. Don't be deceived Sir. You can
still pull crowd without burying anything.

There are still guys who are stupendously rich who are not
using God to dupe people in ministry. But look closely, you
will see their prayer altar. The level you want to get to, you
cannot wish it into reality. Thank God you are holier than
every other man of God in town.

120
But I pray you have not stopped praying the way you used to
pray? Holiness alone is not enough. Men ought not to fail, but
to PRAY. That is what Jesus said. Why you are dragging
attention in your community with men who are using juju is
because they pay more price than you. The earth bows to
spiritual price.

Don't think false prophets don't fast. Don't think they don't
pray. Jezebel had to fast before she and her fellow witches
killed Naboth. But unfortunately, Naboth was never recorded
to have fasted. He was bragging with his holiness and integrity
in ministry, with no single prayer life.

No Wonder he paid for it with his life. Some people have paid
for their prayer less ness with their ministries and marriages
and businesses. There is an OIL meant for me to manifest to
my generation. There is a stature I am meant to occupy in my
time.

Number of likes and comments on facebook cannot put crown

on my head. God makes men on the roads few men are bold
enough to thread. It is because some people have gotten tired
of paying the price, that is why they began to look for native
doctors that will help them.

I am not ignorant that there are days when Prayer seems like
punishment. It happens to all of us. Incase that is the page you
are now, may God quicken you again.
In Jesus Name.
Let us pray!

 Chapter 24
WHEN A REVIVALIST
NEEDS REVIVAL

T here is someone of your age that is somewhere

looking for the same anointing you are looking for.
You pray less than 1hour everyday, while he prays for
5hours everyday.

When tomorrow comes, I hope you will not be among those

saying that he is using juju to manifest?
How can a young man like you with such mighty calling join
them in local church politics? Going to headquarters to gossip
other men of God, so that they will transfer you to a bigger
church? Is this all that God called you for? Is the God that
called Benny Hinn not the same God that called you? Why are
you ending your ministry as a local church politician?

What happened to those visions you used to have when you

were into ministry newly, when God was using you to heal
cancer and raising the dead back to life?

What about those days God showed you how you will be
carrying the Revival Fire from nation to nation, with massive
healings in attendance? How have you decided to end your
ministry like this?

Accept that you need revival in your prayer life and you will
receive help.
122
Stop hanging around guys that often says: "It is not by
prayer..." Someone is praying 7hours for that same anointing
you are looking for. The same Holy Ghost working in him can
still help your own infirmities. That hunger for prayer can
come back this night. Are you ready?

Let us pray!

123
 Chapter 25
"FRIGHT NEWSPAPER" PUBLISHED THIS
WEEK THAT ALL THE YOUNG MEN OF
GOD IN NIGERIA ARE NOW USING JUJU
TO DO MINISTRY... PLEASE, IS IT TRUE?

T hey said that all the young men of God in Asaba has
sold their souls to the devil for money and fame. They
said if you go to Abuja, all the prophets there are using
water sprits to do ministry.

They said Port Harcourt has become a center of Babylon, that

all the young men there are using charms to run their
ministries. Some said they will never attend any church in
Owerri and Bayelsa, because every church there buried
something in their altar. Others said that any church doing
well in Enugu, Calabar and Aba are occultic churches.

Some said that it will be hard to see a young man of God in

Lagos and Benin that have not soiled his hands in blood, to
control crowd. Some said that all the young men and women
who prophecies are using familiar spirits to prophecy.

While others said that any young man that is pulling crowd has
gone to bow to queen of the coast. But I know those things are
lies. I don't know what they are saying about all the young
ministers in that city where you are now?

When I was entering Port Harcourt from the missionary fields

of Benin Republic last two years, some were crying. They said
that Iyke Oriaku will be swallowed by the spirit of Port
Harcourt.

124
That this revival cry will dry. That what happened to others
that started very well but ended badly in Port Harcourt will
happen to me. Some gave me 1 year or less to change my
message. They said that there is no young man of God in Port
Harcourt whose eyes are not on how to dupe people's
properties and money. I told them that they are lying, because
there are still remnants in the land.

They argued it, because they have not seen. I told them to
watch out, that by the grace of God, heaven will use me to
show them example that there are still young men who have
not bowed to Baal in my city.

I told them, they will soon become witnesses that in the midst
of these decadence, God still has His own. That there are still
soldiers of the Cross who have vowed to either die instead of
selling out their souls to the devil.

Man of God, can I talk to you? God is looking for someone He

will use to show to the world that He still has remnants in your
city. Please, don't join them to bow to juju? Don't join those
that buries live animals inside their altar, to pull crowd. Don't
join those that uses blood pads of ladies who are mensuration
to do sacrifices, so as to keep their members ever hypnotized.

Don't join those that robs charms on their microphones before

they preach, so that if they tell you to bring your landed
properties you will not know when you will give them the
documents. God is looking for men that will stand out for Him
in that town.

Don't think you are the only one drinking garri sometimes
without sugar. There are still guys like you in that same city
that have nothing to even eat today, yet, they will rather stay
hungry than bow to Baal. They have been invited to be taken
125
to native doctors that will wash their eyes, so that they can start
seeing people's details, but they said NO.

Please, don't join the merchants of Babylon littered

everywhere today. I have made up my mind that, even if every
young man of God sells out in my city, I will never sell out. I
want Satan to know that I know that He can not help a man that
Christ died for. I want to show Jezebel that there are still young
men who are not afraid to trek or to starve, if need be.

Baal is too poor to help any man that is filed with the Holy
Ghost. How can a dirty Muslim native doctor give me charm
to work for the God that made heaven and earth?

I am of the breed that will stop that insult to God in my time. I

have donated my ministry, for God to use me and show to my
doubting generation. That there are still guys that can pull
crowd without bowing to juju. That a man can still become
famous without sleeping with marine spirits.

That a man can still have money without swallowing eggs, as

sacrifice to hypnotize people and take their money. This
generation is about to see that there are men who will not have
to sleep with their fellow men before they get connections.

Sir, Without washing our eyes in juju house, we shall

prophesy accurately. Without sleeping inside caskets, we shall
see raw miracles with evidences. Without paying people to
fake miracles, cancer will die by our hands. Satan will see that
every young man in our cities have not gone down to Egypt for
help.

Where are those young men and women who wants God to use
their ministries to preach a message to Lucifer? That he might
have Deceived even some of those that started in Scripture
126
Union and now, they have started singing the Lords song in a
strange land. He might have hijacked many that were standing
for Jesus without spots before. BUT THAT HE CAN NEVER
HIJACK YOU.

Sir, Can you pray more than you used to pray before and keep
asking God to use you to show to your generation that every
preacher in your city has not bowed to Baal?

It might take a little more patience. There might be some days

of mockery and lack. But we will not cast ways our confidence
which has great recommence. "My city will change their
views concerning men of God because of me”

That is the vow we have made. Can you join us to make such
vows?

Let us pray!

127
 Chapter 26
WHATEVER HAPPENED TO THE MESSAGE
OF REPENTANCE IN OUR TIME!

T hose days, everywhere you hear anyone preaching,

the first thing you will be hearing is REPENT. If you
enter motor park to travel, you will be seeing
preachers, shouting REPENT.

Inside the bus, some one will start preaching, and his
emphasis would be, REPENT. If you tune into any radio and
t.v station, all you will be hearing is REPENT. When you step
into any church, no matter the topic the man of God is
handling, all his emphasis would be REPENT.

When we want to start mimicking pastors, we would be

jumping around the house, shouting REPENT. Even during
night vigils, no matter the deliverance going on, the preacher
will keep emphasizing on REPENT.

The only message John The Baptist had was REPENT. Jesus
came and never missed to say REPENT anywhere He went.
The ever first gospel preached by Peter, the end of it was
REPENT. But today, my generation has killed that language.

How many churches do you still hear the word REPENT?

How many television and radio stations do you still hear
REPENT? Even some of our market evangelists no more
preach REPENT. Our Bus transportation preachers now

128
hardly preach REPENT. Even some pastors no more host
evangelists that preach REPENT.

"Can I prophesy?" has replaced the word REPENT. How can

we keeping prophesying to a generation that has not repented
from their sins? Of what need is prophecy to a drowning man?
What shall it profit a man to know the names of all his enemies
but lose his soul to hell?

How long are we going to keep lying to these people?. Why

are we entertaining this generation to perdition? Where are
those days when evangelists will lock themselves inside
church vestries, groaning, crying for souls to repent in their
programs?

It has been long I saw an evangelist shedding tears, begging

sinners to repent. Friend, there is almost nothing I see now in
the church that motivates me. What is driving us till today is
the memory of what we saw in the days of our fathers. Thank
God for big cathedrals and wealth etc, but it is not moving us.

If you see what we saw you would not be threatened into

silence. Many young men in Bible schools today are getting
ready to come into the cities. Not to preach REPENTANCE,
but to join those shouting CAN I PROPHESY?
Spending 5 hours in church, using 4:30hours 30 minutes to
prophesy to 8people. Occult men, tired harlots, homosexuals
etc came, received prophecies and went back the same way.
Lord, will You leave us this way? Will You not raise an army
again that will preach REPENTANCE? Please, Lord,
remember us!

Friends, this is my morning burden while praying. You too can

129
join us in this prayer anywhere you are. Let God raise more
men again that will not fear men. Our generation needs men
that will not fear the loss of pulpits. If there is anytime we need
such backup, friends it is now and one thing we know is that
God will certainly show up...

Let us pray!

130
 Chapter 27
THIS IS A MESSAGE TO DAVID,
PAPA OYEDEPO'S SON.
I PRAY HE DOESN'T READ THIS AND
THINK THAT I AM ENVYING HIM.
Anointing is not hereditary.

A s powerful as his father is, if he refuse to pay

commensurate price, he will still be there and God
will raise a young man somewhere to carry the
mantle of his father, because God is no respecter of persons.

The cost of glory is the same all over the world. You don't
inherit glory. You pay price for it. Isaac didn't inherit the glory
of Abraham. Jacob did not inherit the honour God gave Isaac.
They had to pay their different prices. If not, God would have
abandoned them to look for willing vessels who were ready to
pay the price for glory.

Don't follow a man to contact what he is carrying if you are not

ready to pay the price. If not, those that never even had
opportunity to even shake hands with him might be the ones to
carry their mantles.

Now that young ministers are bragging with popular spiritual

fathers. Some even use it to intimidate others. Don't be
swayed into foolishness, sir. Go and hide somewhere and tell
God that you want to carry that same thing He gave to the man
others are killing themselves to hang around. He will show up.

131
Since you don't have money enough to sow as seed, to get their
attention to lay hands on you, sir, kneel down and pray to the
God that anointed them. He will anoint you also.

I am happy to see that papa Oyedepo sons are manifesting

wisdom and power. It is evident to many that Pastor David
OYEDEPO Junior is carrying unusual power from above. If
he had not paid price for the power he is manifesting today, he
would have still been very powerless even though he is close
to his anointed father, because closeness to the anointing does
not make you anointed. Proximity to OIL does not confer that
OIL on you.

My father was a preacher that controlled the power of God.

God used him to raise many dead people back to life and
almost all of them are still alive today. But my elder brother,
Rev Stanley Oriaku is not anointed today because of my
fathers anointing. The demonic powers in Benin Republic
where he is serving God as a missionary are not bowing to him
because of our late father's anointing, but because he sought
God for the anointing.

I am not doing the little I do today because of my father's

anointing. There are prices to pay, sir. The Bible said that no
one can receive anything except it is given from above. Isaiah
said that 'He shall see the TRAVAIL of his soul and be
satisfied... ".
Don't be surprised, sir. Many people hanging around our
popular and great spiritual fathers today will not manifest the
grace those men carry in the next few years. Those that will
manifest the mantle of Papa Adeboye might not be those
hanging around him now. It might be some of those serving in
some ministries in some villages now faithfully.
132
Some are not even on any social media yet. Some don't even
know how to see all these men great men. But they are
somewhere, praying for God to see their head and pour OIL on
them. Soon, you will begun to hear strange names handling
strange moves of God.

I wish you will stop going to scatter the name of another man
of God before the man that picked interest in him, so that he
will be hated. He might be hated. The Papa might stop picking
his calls. He might cancel the programs he wanted to have
with him in the young man's ministry. But if that young man is
still in contact with God, the anointer, tomorrow will disgrace
you and your gang.

If you understand the chemistry of the heart of man and the

anatomy of grace, you will stop pulling men down before
men, even if you have every right to.

Johnathan never faced lions and bear. Johnathan never sang to

sheep in the wilderness. Mosquitoes did not bite Jonathan for
God's sake. No wonder, he told himself the truth, that the
throne was not meant for his kind.

Yes, Saul was his father, but Saul was not the one to put men
on the throne. Johnathan was enjoying proximity to Saul,
while David was enjoying closeness to God. And when the
chips were down, the throne vomited Saul and began to call
the name of another man who has paid commensurate price.
Until David paid the price in full, he never sat on that throne.

As you are reading this now, the thrones of the men you are
looking up to are still calling out for those that will pay the
price. I wish you will stop looking for way to host great men of
133
God, to use to prove a point, and look for way to find God, no
matter 'where' He is.

I honour men who God has helped. If they are in town

anywhere I am, I travel to go and be in their meetings. To show
honour. But, I know that they can not make me who they are.
With due respect, they don't have the power to give me a
throne in my generation.

Thrones are gotten on the knees. Don't tell me to sit on thrones

that did not call my name in demand for a scars and pains. I
don't want to sit on a throne that I have not paid any price for.

Man of God, if you have money, sow into the ministry of any
man you love his operation and grace, but after sowing, go
back to your house and start praying. There are many people
that have the picture of Papa Oyedepo in their pulpit that
doesn't have any trace of his OIL working for them.

Many have hosted some of our fathers severally, yet, they are
still far from the mantles those men carry. I don't need to know
if you have a prayer life, how you pull others down to be loved
shows how much carnal you are.

Rivalry is the first enemy of glory. The first sin after the fall of
Adam was not adultery or fornication. It was the spirit of
strife, jealousy and competition spirit. It was found in Cain
and it led him to kill his innocent brother. And immediately,
Cain lost out of God's plan of glory and became a vagabond.
Yet, the man he killed is still speaking.

Many ministers have become spiritual vagabonds today

because they have used gossip and bad Belle to kill the
134
ministries of other men of God. That is why they still float
from here to here, wandering in the wilderness of purpose.

In every poster, pasturing big churches, preaching in mighty

cathedrals. Yet there is nothing phenomenal about them.
Massively anointed, yet, not bring noted. Check their records.
There is a voice speaking against them. The men they sent
their ministries to early grave has not forgiven them.

I rather fight demons than to fight my fellow minister. No

rumor against any man of God comes to my office and
survive. I have 'anointing' to kill bad rumors. Not because I am
guilty of their crimes, but because God is not swayed by
rhetorics. If you are looking for a man of God that will help
you spread a rumor that will scatter another man of God, don't
come to my space, because I will disappoint you.

To the glory of God, I know a lot of dirty rumours I have

intercepted, that would have gone viral and destroyed the
ministries of many men of God today. They don't know me..
and I don't think its necessary.
Some of them even hate me with passion because of the voice
God is raising through us. I laugh when I see them. God has
helped us to grow over all those local rancour. It is witchcraft
to look for opportunity to fight back a man because he doesn't
like you.

Whenever I see those men today doing great things, to the

glory of God, I would start wondering what would have
happened if I didn't stop those rumours. I don't want to Be a
vagabond. Yes, Cain build cities. But I prefer to build a city as
a beloved of God than to build cities as a vagabond. I don't

135
want my hands to be in the eclipse of a fellow man God called.
Any man GOD wants to fight, I wont teach Him how to fight
His fight.

Sir, mind your friends. Vain men are every where shouting
revival. Angry men are here and there, coating there
wickedness with Scriptures. Many of them live on the
mountain, praying and fasting, yet, no trace of glory, because
their hearts towards other ministers are not right. Brokenness
gives you a platform to make demands for eternal things. That
is why God said: "Guard your heart. For out of it are all issues
of life..." Glory is not cheap. Ask for what to pay and pay for it.

You can use your money and hire all the spiritual fathers you
can, yet, God will abandon you and lift a man you think you
are better than, to manifest that man's mantle in your
generation. Don't let noisy men distract you.

Look for GOD, sir. That God that made Apostle Babalola is
still making men. The God of late Archbishop IDAHOSA is
will waiting for us to seek Him. Now that the man you want to
manifest what He is manifesting is still too far from you,
please, join us, lets go and find God, so that another man will
not manifest the Oil that is due us in our time ...

He said: "Thou shall seek me and find me when you seek me

with all thy heart..”

Are you ready? Then, let us pray!

136
 Chapter 28
THIS IS ONE OF THE SECRETS OF OUR
FATHERS THAT HAS MADE THEM
PHENOMENAL, WHICH SOME OF THEM
MIGHT NEVER WRITE IN THEIR BOOKS.

T hey might even preach for you 10 times in a year, yet,

you will still not know their secrets. Stop struggling to
host them, so as to use them to prove a point to us. If
they really love you, they will teach you the things they did
that tore the heavens over them.

As beautiful as a car is, you need just one key to use it. If not,
without the key, you will have a car in your compound and still
be trekking. As beautiful as a house is, you still need a key to
enter inside it. If not, without the key, you will be known as
that man that owns a house but is still sleeping outside.

God has given us the earth as possession. He has handed this

generation over to us, but we need to receive the key to their
hearts. If not, they will hang around you, but will not listen to
you. Check all the men that have ever commanded the
attention of their generation, there are prayer languages they
used.

Friends, it is not all about praying from one mountain to

another. What is your prayer language? It's nice to pray long.
But, sir, it is not enough. What is the content of the desire you
took to God?

137
God said: "Ask of me and I shall give thee the heathen for thy
inheritance and the utmost parts of the earth for thy
possession..." (Psalms 2:8) Ask God to give you the KEY to
your inheritance and your possession.

I know some men who have prayed this prayer for 5years
everyday and I am not surprised at the phenomenal impact
they are making in our time. I was lucky to stumble into this
revelation early enough in ministry, and these were the only
prayer request I prayed almost throughout the year 2011.

"Lord, give me the key to the hearts of my generation...”

"Give me a language they will easily understand"...

" Show me a path to thread that will be attractive to those you
have called me for...”

"I don't want to drag the attention of my generation with

Tuface Idibia and Psquare...”

"I don't want my generation to shun my beckoning in search of

Beyonce and Jayzee"..

" Make my voice a siren that will draw attention of my

generation to the Cross of Calvary..." "As you give me their
ears, also give me their tears ..." And so on.
Friends, we may not have gotten their yet, but we know what
we have bargained for.

When I see anyone fighting men God has raised from the
crowd and made names for among men, I wish someone will
go and advice him. Because, he will waste his time. You don't

138
know what those men bargained with God in the place of
prayer.

You don't know how many years they didn't eat and sleep well
on good bed. When they were under chronic fasting, you were
eating and dining. You don't know the sacrifices they have
made in the place of separation to command the attention of
the governors and senators looking for them today. You have
no clue what they have lost while on their knees. And you
think Facebook or YouTube is enough to pull men down who
have found a part of God that is still largely unknown to men.

Friends, can I beg you to stop following men who have not
paid any price for a phenomenal OIL. They will teach how to
injure yourself. The time you use to envy another man of God,
use it to bargain with God, to give you a KEY that will unlock
the possession He has given you in this generation.

Have you not wondered why some men say the same things
you say, but they have better patronage than you. People are
abandoning everything they are doing, in search of them. Sir,
it is not the style of English they spoke. It is the result of what
they have bargained for in the secret places that God is
expressing in their ministries openly.

Don't settle with the terminologies of revival. Don't just start

preaching like one man somewhere who God is helping in a
particular operation. Don't just pray to be prophesying. There
are still many genuine prophets with accurate prophecies that
this generation doesn't know they are in town.

They have gifts. But they don't have KEY. The same Jesus that

139
gave gifts unto men also gave us KEY. Because He knows a
time will come when we will need KEY, if not, our gifts will
not take us far in life.

Sir, you are not the only person operating with that gift, but
there is a particular operational KEY God wants to give you to
distinguish your ministry. Go and pray, sir...

You live a holy life you sow seed. You preach undiluted
gospel. But it is still as if the people you were called for are not
receptive to your message. It means there is a KEY you have
not received yet. Pray again, sir. But this time with another
consciousness. Don't think this is all that God called you to do.
No Sir.

What you are doing now is not enough to connect you to the
big visions you had when God called you earlier. There can
still be something better about your ministry that will make
this generation in demand of it. Don't manage that ministry in
obscurity when God wants you in the limelight.

The Hebrews are due for deliverance. Families are crying for
liberation. Nations and their leaders are confused. Waiting for
saviours from Zion. When will they begin to have access to
what God has given you for them? Please, don't let your
prayerlessness keep you at the back side of the desert. A lot of
destinies are tied to your rising. But you must pay the price, sir.

Those God called you to talk to still don't want to listen to you,
because you have not taken possession of their hearts in the
secret place. Communities and nations are waiting to follow
you to God, but you need a KEY that will open their hearts and
command their attention. It can only be gotten in the place of
prayer.
140
Go and apologise to that man you joined them to mock while
he was kneeling down. Because that man is about to rise up
with a KEY that will command the nations of the world to him
effortlessly.

Don't waste your time around young men of God whose only
vision is to be posted to big churches to pastor, so that they will
become denominational champions. I thought you said God
gave you a global assignment, what then are you doing with
guys whose highest breakthroughs is how many pulpits they
Mount in a month?

Don't let the men of God who have gotten tired of looking for
God make you think that you have found God. Don't let them
praise your young ministry into an early grave. If you have
lost your hunger for prayer, cry to God to have it back. Pray for
God to give you that KEY that will open your generation up to
you. Unless you want to remain voiceless and powerless
before the people God called you to give direction to.

Some of our fathers prayer this kind of prayers and they got it.
No matter how long you hang around them, you will never get
your KEY to the heart of your generation. Because "no man
can receive anything except it comes from God...”

Many are doing more than what you are doing now that may
never be heard by their generation till they die. That is not the
will of God. How can we light up a candle and put it under a
bushel? Of what use is the salt if it is not accessible to the
generation that needs it?

People in many nations are waiting for what God gave you for
humanity. Don't blame God if your ministry ends in that little
community. You will still make heaven when you die, but
when you get there God will show you how massive your
141
impact would have been on earth if only you had prayed more.

I am talking to people like me who still remembers what God

showed us in the beginning. Are you ready to lose more
meals? Can you still go back to those days you use to speak in
tongues while doing anything at all?

Are you ready to start praying for more hours than you used to
pray before? Just for that KEY that will give you the attention
of your generation to draw them to the Living God. I am
already on my knees. In case you are ready, then,...

Let us pray!

142
 Chapter 29
I SEE MEN BUILDING ANOTHER
TOWER OF BABEL?

B ishop Oyedepo took his time to build men before he

built that big cathedral in Otta, Ogun State. Stop
hiring criminal prophets to come and use packaged
miracles to raise funds from your unfortunate members. Just
because you want to build big cathedral. Build men, sir.

Ask questions, in the early 2000, if you enter any branch of

Winners Chapel and come out, you will start looking for a
dead man to raise. Every Winner's Chapel member was a
terror to the kingdom of darkness. Once you join that church
and stay 1 month, you will start manifesting unusual boldness.
I don't know what is still happening there now, but when I was
there, I was privileged to be thought by men that drank
directly from Papa Oyedepo. You can't listen to those men and
something will not break out in you.

Ask anyone in Umuahia about Bishop Henry Olisenyenum.

Ask those in Port Harcourt about Pastor Dele Bamgboye. Ask
those in Owerri about Bishop Dickson. Ask those in Kaduna
about Bishop David Abioye. Ask those in Aba about Pastor
Chuka.

What about Bishop Aremu? What about Pastor Steve Gbuji?

What about Pastor Adebo? Okigwe people will tell you about
Pastor Ilani. Asaba people will tell you about and Pastor
Ifianga. You can add the men you can remember.
143
These were men that sat under bishop Oyedepo and he raised
them and released them to the streets of Africa and hell has not
recovered yet from their invasions in those towns and
communities. That you are hearing about Papa Oyedepo
anywhere in the world today, it is through these men.

You don't need to see Papa. The moment you see them, you
have seen Papa. He didn't beg them to talk like him. He didn't
force them to command boldness like him. But the more they
were close to him, the more they were catching what God
deposited in him. Today, to the glory of God and to the
expansion of the kingdom, many of them are no more under
Winners Chapel.

But if you still go and sit under them, you will still know that
you are listening to men God raised under bishop Oyedepo.
Friends, that is where we are going. Some of this generation of
preachers have seen Canaan land and have started killing
themselves to build the biggest capacity church in their town.

Please, help me tell them that papa Oyedepo did not raise his
men inside 50,000 capacity church. I have no issue with big
beautiful cathedrals. Even if I do, it doesn't change the fact that
we still need to build a nice place of worship for the Master.
But this on - going cathedral competition is not from God.

None of your choir members still speak in tongues after how

many years. Even your assistant pastor still cannot pray for 10
minutes. No evangelism structure. No prayer band. Its only
night vigil and shouting fire ministry that you are doing, and
you are looking for money to build cathedral. What will you
be doing inside there, sir?

144
Today, you are a prophet. Tomorrow, you are an apostle. Next
tomorrow, you are an evangelist. When they invite you
abroad, you become a bishop. Men that have not been built
wants to build men. Sir, stop looking for cathedral to build.
You need to start looking for yourself. You have not found
yourself yet.

For a whole one year, there is none of your members that can
command fire the way you command. All of them still run to
you when they see butterfly, so that you will release a word. It
is only your anointed sticker and calendar that you give them.
I don't blame you, sir. People are still very blind.

But a time is coming when that your big cathedral will begin to
run empty. Because people would have known that gathering
every service to shout fire is not giving them the fire.

The costly temple Solomon built has been demolished many

times since it was built. That was why when Jesus came, He
learnt His lesson and He didn't bother looking for land to build
big halls, to show people that he too is succeeding. Rather, He
began to look for men to build. If He had built cathedrals
instead of men, you I and our children would not have known
that there is a man that lived called Jesus.

I was not raised inside a big auditorium. I was raised inside a

primary school classroom. I grew up spiritually worshipping
under trees. And sometimes, there won't even be available tree
to worship under. We will sit under sun. And if it rains, it beats
us. That was where Christ was formed in us. No matter your
defence mechanism in this subject matter, sir, let's not forget
that one day anti Christ will take over all these beautiful
cathedrals we are building in Nigeria.

145
Late Arch bishop Idahosa is not remembered today because of
the cathedral he built, but because of the men he built. Look
into your congregation and tell yourself the truth. How many
of yours members are growing to become kingdom
superstars? I don't mean all those that comes to run around
you, asking you for prophecies and miracles.

How many of them can command the supernatural? How

many of them can invade communities and preach Jesus until
men begins to fear God in the land? Tomorrow, when I buy a
private jet for the man God used to build me, ignorant people
will start fighting him on social media, without knowing how
God has used him to make me what I am becoming today.

May God open the eyes of our understanding.

Let us pray!..

146
 Chapter 30
I WONDER WHY THEY DID NOT
TEACH ME THIS IN BIBLE SCHOOL
EARLY ENOUGH.

W hen I get to heaven, the first person I will want to

see is not Paul that wrote almost all the new
testament. Not Peter that walked on water.
Neither Philip that once disappeared and appeared
somewhere else.

The person I will want to see is JOHN THE BAPTIST that

folded his ministry for another man's ministry to rise. I will
want to see that man that introduced his financial members to
another man of God, and he watched them start following the
man. And yet, he never came to Facebook to look for stories to
make men hate the man.

Jesus said with His own mouth, that John did no miracles, and
yet, with His mouth said that no man born of woman is greater
than John. Which means working of miracles, preaching in
big churches, hanging around big preachers and running 3
times services, submitting under celebrity fathers in ministry.
And even giving accurate prophecies does not make heaven to
place value on men.

Which means, you can still be an indoor intercessor that never

shared pulpit with the strong and mighty and yet heaven will
value you more than those that are on every poster and
billboards today.
147
I will like to meet John the Baptist and ask him how he killed
his flesh, to the extent of pulling down his church sign posts,
just to see that another man's church is filled. I want to know
how he felt when his big monthly programs began to run
empty, and when he looks around, he saw that his choristers
were now singing in another man's church.

Friends, I want God to kill my flesh the way He killed that of

John the Baptist. Why are we fighting ourselves in ministry
today? Is it not because we are afraid that people will laugh at
us when they see that many people are now following others
we started ministry before?

Why are some young men of God going to bow to juju, to get
crowd and wealth and fame? Is it not because we are afraid to
see empty seats in our churches and we don't want people to
mock us? Why are you blaming some of us that are very
uncomfortable around guys who brag with how many
thousand members they are controlling?

Don't trust any young man of God that only have celebrity
pastors as his spiritual mentors. Don't be comfortable with
young ministers that must be heard at all cost. If you are not
known, they don't want to know you. They are lusting for vain
things. No wonder with all their mighty billboards in all the
strategic places in town. Yet, no one knows they are in town.

Man of God, since this year, how many men of God have you
advertised their ministries, even if you have to lose your
followers? Even to share another man's post on Facebook, you
can't do it. You know he will be loved, and you don't want it.
You copy the post without mentioning his name and you write

148
ANONYMOUS. When anyone asks you about the man of
God, you will say they should not mind those boys that are
jobless.

The only thing you have to say about men God is helping is
bad testimony. Sir, you are failing the test of glory. You are
announcing to angels that you are not ready to walk in glory.
No wonder, you are still struggling for people to know that
you are around. If you are not ready to decrease for another
man to increase, you still have a long way to go.

No man takes the honour unto himself. If you want to shine,

hide. If you want God to lift you up, look for those you will lift
up. If you want people to see what God is doing with you, refer
people to what God is doing through another man. Lord,
please, do to me what You did to John the Baptist, that made
him chose to hide for another man to shine.

Please, help me, Lord! This is my prayer. I don't know about

you.
Let us pray!

149
 Chapter 31
GOD, PLEASE, IF YOU LOVE ME,
GIVE ME WHAT YOU DID NOT
GIVE TO ANY MAM ALIVE NOW!

T hank God for papa Oyedepo and Papa Adeboye. We

bless God for papa Anselm Madubuko and His grace
on Papa Uma Ukpai. But there are still some
dimensions of God unknown to these generals. There are still
things He has not shown to them yet about Himself.

He is looking for a people in my generation that will separate

themselves so that He can show them what He has not shown
these men. And I know that it will be there greatest desire to
see the generation coming behind them to manifest that side of
God they have not been given the privilege to handle.

Can I beg you for one thing? Please, ask God to show you what
He has hidden from the eyes of your generation. Ask Him to
show you that thing your mates are too in a hurry to see. Tell
Him to tell you that thing others have refused to wait to hear.
There is something God will tell you and you will not lack
men.

There is something you will see and you will never hide in
your time. What separates men are what they have seen others
are too busy to see. If God wants to settle a man, He demands
for his attention. And you cannot get God's attention in the
place of separation and not enjoy distinction.

Don't join them to question a man God Himself has distracted,
just to conferee honour on. The noise every where is enough to
hide an anointed man. Separate yourself. If it will take you 5
more years, sir, remain in that hiding position. But don't be
there criticizing men you don't know how long it has taken
them to enjoy the little grace they are enjoying...

If you can, pray for anyone you see manifesting the grace you
desire. God looks into the hearts of men before He releases the
OIL they crave for. If your eyes are so sharp to see the faults of
other men, you will never see God. Nothing distracts a man in
the school of value than serving as a referee to men God is
helping. If the anointing you are looking for is to use to show
your enemies that you too can manifest power, that anointing
will hide you.

There is nobody that is walking in glory today that entered that

realm by mistake. Glory has many codes. Death to vain glory
is one of them. When glory comes, it kills your hunger to be
heard. Many have prayed and fasted, but they have no trace of
glory. Because they want to use glory to fight their enemies.

Can I beg you to listen?: Don't let your crave for cheap glory
rob you of the real glory.
When you encounter value, hunger for fame looses grip on
you...

This generation is eagerly looking for men that are looking for
God, in spirit and in truth. Nobody places demand on a man
God has not shown the unusual. There are still many unseen
dimensions of God.

Preach like Papa Oyedepo. Kneel down before preaching like
Papa Adeboye. Shout Fire like Apostle Suleiman. Cry during
worship like Papa Paul Enenche. But don't forget to tell God to
show you what He has not shown these men.

May God distract us from the vain pursuit of anything that is

not unusual in our time. May He give us hunger to kneel down
more until we begin to manifest a dimension of Him which He
has hidden from the eyes of great kings and prophets.

I am praying for myself. I don't know about you.

Let us pray!
