There are so
MANY ways GOD has led Omolola to share the joy of knowing HIM. Below some
testimonies are shared to God's glory as a way of strengthening your faith. These are living proof that Jesus Christ lives and Ephesians 3:20 is real!
DIVINE RESPONSE
I visited a
friend to share the love of God with her. We prayed together and God revealed
to me that it was impossible for procreation to happen in the bedroom she
shares with her husband. Why? The room was a passageway to their computer room
and many persons including guests have access. I prayed with her. That week,
she travelled with her husband. They had sexual relations on the trip; she
conceived and carried the pregnancy to full term. God wiped tears of
yesteryears in one day.
DIVINE PROVISION
Many years ago,
I visited a friend to share the love of God with his family. Their son cried
and insisted on spending the night in my room. I have the tradition of praying
for every child I touch or carry. Through the night, unknown to his parents, I
prayed for him. Years later, the parents notified me that he has atrial septal
defect which simply means a hole in his heart. God told me how to help raise
funds but the devil began to sow ideas of why not to. Finally God said, “With
all your passion for children, will you watch this boy die?” It was enough for
me act speedily. Not only did we raise money in excess of 2M, God saw the boy
through a successful surgery. To God’s glory he is alive and well and the
parents have decided to give back by sowing into souls through soles.
DIVINE
CONCEPTION
When I decided
to visit the UK in 2005, God told me to add praying with a friend to my
schedule. Unfortunately I couldn’t afford to visit her and all attempts to have
her visit did not materialise. I prayed with her over the phone but God later
said, “But that is not what I asked you to do”. In 2007, I visited again, this
time, I instructed her to see me. We met in a public space, right there, I held
her hands and prayed for her. Few months after, as I kept remembering her in
prayers God confirmed He has answered. But try as I did, I couldn’t reach her.
When I finally did, she confirmed that though she conceived that same month,
having being told not to tell anyone since she had waited for years, she
couldn’t return my calls or emails. I broke down when she said she lost the
pregnancy; a set of twin boys. I told her to be mindful of the devices of the
devil and prayed with her over the phone. To God’s glory, she conceived again;
this time, a set of twin girls and carried it to full term. God showed himself
strong and gave her the garment of praise.
DIVINE ATTENTION
I was led to
visit and pray with a couple. On arriving at their residence, I was told the
wife had traveled. Why (!) was my first response but I quickly cautioned myself
since I couldn’t explain. I prayed with the man and left. Months later I was
led to pray that God should take away anything hindering their conception.
Soon, God moved them from where the man was pastor. I visited their new
location but the man was busy, so I prayed with the wife. Months later, I was
at a prayer mountain when God led me to call the wife. I did and prayed with
her on the phone. 9 months later, to God’s glory she was delivered of a
beautiful child. Our God is an awesome God.
DIVINE
CONNECTION
God led me to
suggest an initiative with the same title to my pastor. I was skeptical, but
true to God’s words he not only was interested, he supported it with a
donation. We organised an event under the same title and many lives were
touched. As I walked a mature single pastor who attended to her car, she linked
the event to Pastor Bimbo’s ministry and encouraged me to continue when I
return to Nigeria. It dawned on me later that this was God’s second chance for
a calling to serve under Pastor Bimbo Odukoya that I did not obey years ahead.
When I returned to Nigeria, I inaugurated the event. Not only were many lives touched,
God sent his daughter, Rev. Dele George to bless the meeting. It became a
regular event. At one of such events, someone asked how I could be talking
about divine connection when I am single. Even though I answered her politely,
her comment sent me to the mountain as I searched for answers through prayers.
True to God’s revelation on the mountain, I was divinely connected and many
lives have continued to be divinely connected to purpose and partner through
this calling.
DIVINE
INTERVENTION
A Muslim
colleague complained to me about his fiancé having miscarriages. I counselled
him, prayed for him and let him know that God is not happy with him sleeping
with his daughter (the fiancé is a Christian) outside of marriage. He confessed
he couldn’t stay away from sex. Instead of judging him, I asked a simple
question, will you stay off sex and marry her if she conceives. His answer was
yes. That month, not only did God bless their union with a conception, he
fulfilled his promise and married her.
DIVINE
POSITIONING
My sibling
sought admission into a university. Unfortunately she wasn’t selected and all
those not on the list would have to pay money for the admission. Not only
couldn’t my parents afford the levy, they did not believe in supporting
corruption. A para-military organisation I belonged to was scheduled to meet
with the Vice Councellor (VC) of the school; not only did God lead me to pray
about the issue, God told me how to go about it. Immediately after our meeting,
I sought to see the VC and told him about my sibling. He called his secretary
and asked her to add the name I’ll give her to the VC’s list. As I left the
office, I thought, “Just like that”. To God’s glory, my position was used as a gateway
to my sib’s admission.
DIVINE COUNSEL
During my
national service year following my graduation, I met a lady when I went to
encourage members of her church to be more committed to the Lydia Auxilliary, a
Baptist group for young women. She later shared her story with me. She was a
fervent Christian but met a man who took her virginity under the pretext that
he would marry her. Thereafter, she felt violated and devalued, this led her
out of pious living. I told her that the God we serve is a merciful God and she
only need to repent. She did. Months later, she met a man who proposed to her;
she felt the man was below her standard, she being a professional. But, I
counseled her and she accepted him as God’s will. They got married and shortly
thereafter, she conceived. But the devil came knocking; he knocked the
pregnancy out of her and knocked virility out of the man. She called and wept
on the phone; what was her hope now that her husband had become impotent. I
counseled her and told her that God never promised a challenge free life but
HIS assurance of protection remains valid. She wanted my approval to try out
other men since a couple of those who initially proposed to her were now ready
to take her to the altar. No was my plea. She decided to wait on God and pray
through. After a challenge that almost rocked her out of marriage, God healed
her husband and blessed them with three children.
DIVINE
MINISTRATION
A lady attended
the Divine Connection event and was immensely blessed. When we sent another invitation,
she mailed back to say she was losing her job to an upcoming franchise and she
couldn’t afford the discounted fee we charge to offset the cost of hall rental and
snack. We asked her to attend. After the event, she appeared dejected and I had
a one-on-one with her. Thereafter, I asked my Mum, an anointed deliverance
minister, who only came to the meeting to see me, to minister to her. My Mum asked
me what to talk to her about, due to confidentiality issues I said, “Just speak
and pray as the Holy Spirit leads you”. She did. Some months later, I saw the
lady’s wedding photos on Facebook and contacted her. She confirmed that
following the meeting, things not only turned around for her employment wise,
she met a man who proposed, they got married shortly after and she has birthed
a lovely child. Indeed our God is great.
DIVINE MISSION
In the very
early days of God revealing Himself to me, I had a dream about a colleague and
God said to tell the lady that if she made the wrong choice in line with the
dream she will die of AIDS. I was shocked! How do I walk up to a colleague I
seldom speak to and give such a fatal message? I asked God to kindly send
someone else. When the dream and the message kept ringing in my mind, I called
the lady and mouth quivering, I delivered the message; of course instead of
AIDS I only managed to say terminal disease. She thanked me and said the dream
has given her direction; she was at a verge of making a marital choice between
two men. She opened up that the first man is rich while the second man is
actually a struggling colleague of ours but the dream has given her clarity.
Few months later, she announced her wedding to that colleague of ours. To God’s
glory their marriage is blessed and struggle no longer defines the man.
DIVINE HONOUR
During the
chance meeting with a woman of God at a female ministers’ conference, I asked
why she didn’t have a book to her name and she said she neither has the time
nor the academic prowess. I told her I could assist but she would have to pay a
small fee for the publishing, which she agreed to. When she didn’t pay the
fees, I was so upset that I almost ruined the friendship. But God warned me
against it. Months later, she contacted me, not to pay the fee but to introduce
a man to me. Today, that same man is my husband! As I prayed to God about how
to give back, I came upon an email that asked that female ministers be secretly
nominated for an award and God led me to nominate her. I fought every spirit of
procrastination and submitted the script for my nomination. As part of the
nomination, we were to put up a presentation using the exact script we submitted
but my system crashed; after getting the system to work, the power cable got burnt.
Fortunately, I had printed a copy. I thought the presentation would be for a
committee but I found out that it was publicly at the female ministers’
conference. After my presentation, I presented copies of the book I developed
in her name to her. In honouring her, I found honour as many people sought me after
the presentation. To God’s glory, my nomination won this humble woman of God
the award of most outstanding female minister with cash award and an all
expense paid trip to minister abroad.
DIVINE
INTRODUCTION
While some
choose to accept their National Youth Service Corps (NYSC) posting, others find
all means to reject and seek repost. Such was it for a lady who was introduced to
me in 2007. After she was introduced, I accommodated her for a couple of days
before she succeeded in changing her posting to a western state. She resurfaced
months later after I returned to Lagos. She needed accommodation because the
uncle she was staying with was demanding sexual favours. Even though I didn’t
know her beyond the couple of days she spent with me, her need drove me to accept
her request and she started living with me. Few months down the line, she was
admitted to a programme by XYZ Oil & Gas Company. After the yearlong
programme, those at the top of the class were offered immediate employment,
while others who excelled were offered employment with affiliate companies. She
was offered neither and had to return to her previous job. Later on she was
offered a placement with an affiliate company. She mentioned this to me and I asked,
“Where do you desire to work” and she said, “Of course XYZ”. Thereafter, I
intensified prayer and fasting like my life depended on it. While still at it,
she returned one day to say she has accepted the offer of employment with the affiliate
company. I was very upset and shouted, “How could you! Have you lost faith in
God? You have to return and tell them no, because I know my God will grant you
the desires of your heart.” She was scared; she didn't want to lose at both
ends. But as she trusted God and listened to wise counsel, not only was she
offered the job by XYZ Oil & Gas Company. On the job, she met the man who became her husband and she had an opportunity to travel
and study abroad. Our God is ever faithful if we trust and obey.
DIVINE RETREAT
There’s this
friend of mine with whom I attended school. She is one of the few I can say
with confidence she is a Christian; an unwavering Christian. But a challenge
she has been living with is of someone to request her hand in marriage. After
someone proposed, she insisted on a big wedding. I tried to counsel her against
it but according to her, “How can I wait this far and have a secret wedding?”.
Suddenly the guy called off the wedding, one of reasons being that his family
was scared they couldn’t measure up to the standard of wedding she wanted. What
we thought was a temporary situation to our shock became permanent as they began
to draw apart. I visited her and we prayed together over a couple of days.
Months later, God led me to encourage her to visit a prayer mountain. She asked if
I would go with her considering I would soon be married, “Of course!” was my
response. We went to the mountain together. But while there, she became upset
with the “weather” and “environment”; mountain top retreat experience is seldom
tailored to make you comfortable! When she left, myself and another friend who
joined us at the mountain, committed time to praying for the root of her delay,
one of which may be irritability with conditions that does not meet her taste.
That very week, God connected her. To the glory of God, she recently got married.
DIVINE MEDIATION
He was a producer and she was a musician. She had gone with him to
study abroad. On getting abroad, he organised many gigs for her and she made so
much money but soon all the money was gone because he had access to the account
but he kept assuring her that all would be well. She soon discovered she was
pregnant and had to limit the shows she could honour in order to focus on
pre-natal care. With just being home most of the time, she began to add weight
and with this came withdrawal from the man – her husband. But she assured
herself that once the baby arrived and she returned to the stage, he’d draw
closer and love her more. But instead he began to keep late nights and rumour
has it that he was dating someone else. She felt used and became enraged! It was in tears
that she called me. After calming her down, I scheduled to see her before the
week runs out and decided to go about my daily chores. But, God said to go to
her immediately. I have learned not to mess with God’s order. So I cancelled
all appointments for the day and headed there. It was amidst sobs she told me
not only the whole story but how she plan to kill him for rejecting her and
making her depressed. I was shocked and torn between following the counseling
policy (which says to report such plot to the police) and following the ethics
of soul care (which says to save both lives). I counseled her and gave her tips
to develop her self-esteem and encouraged her to pursue total dependence not on
the man but on God. Thereafter, I prayed with her. In the following days and
weeks, she began to build a new relationship with God and follow the wise
counsel I shared with her. Her husband's interest in her was renewed. Today,
all glory goes to God because instead of burial we are celebrating the
blessings of their union.
None of the
above may be your own story but I want to assure you that somewhere in history,
THE ONE who turns things in orbit has turned your story to glory. If you will
stay your mind on JESUS CHRIST only, HE is able to do exceedingly abundantly
above all you can ask or think (Isaiah 26:3, Ephesians 3:20). If you need counsel based on God's Word, please contact Omolola.
I'm simply inspired. Some people are made to fill the pack while some few are given assignments. You are simply one of such.
