Excerpts:
QUESTION: What is the secret of
your calmness in the midst of the
storm?
ANSWER: My calmness is peace of
heart, which reflects in the life I
live. This peace of heart is the
source that calms the storm. When
Joseph was in the dry pit where
there was no air, food, water or life,
it was that peace of heart that
sustained him. When everything
seems to go wrong, with peace of
heart, you can press on. With peace
of heart, you can press on,
whatever life brings. Remember
what David said in Psalm 23:4 –
“Even though I walk through the
valley of the shadow of death, I will
fear no evil” – because he had
peace of heart.
QUESTION: We saw on Emmanuel
TV that when you returned from
Colombia, you said, “There is a
cloud that covers Nigeria… Cloud
means trouble. Look at what is
happening here. You will not see it
on national TV but if you learn that
they bombed here, one of you will
call CNN that they have bombed
The SCOAN… I am telling you
something far but now, I am telling
you something as close as my
mouth.” What you said came to
pass but why could you not stop it
happening?
ANSWER: A servant cannot be
greater than his master. I am a
servant, taking orders and
receiving orders. What He tells me,
I say, and what He shows me, I
see. His will must always
supersede.
QUESTION: The people that died in
the tragedy – why do you call them
martyrs? What does it mean?
ANSWER: Yes, they had an
appointment with God and they
didn’t let God go.
QUESTION: How did you manage to
put up a CCTV camera directed
toward the sky when it is supposed
to be focused on a subject or
object? How did you have a CCTV
camera positioned near the bottom
of the building which caught the
bomb exploding?
ANSWER: That is because I am a
man of vision and mission. Without
evidence and proof, I would not
remain the man of God you know.
God will never allow a challenge
that will surmount us; we are
always greater than our
challenges.
1 Corinthians 10:13 – God will
never allow a servant to be
tempted beyond what he can bear
because the beginning of his
mission and the end of his mission
are under God’s eyes. By this, we
know a man of God.
QUESTION: But for the CCTV
footage that showed the strange
plane and the explosion, what
might have been the situation
when this happened? What story
would you have told?
ANSWER: You mean, if there was
no CCTV to capture the plane and
the blast of the bomb? Then, there
is no vision. A man without vision
is a man without God. This is what
Gamaliel said in Acts 5:38-39 –
“And now I say to you, keep away
from these men and let them
alone; for if this plan or this work is
of men, it will come to nothing; but
if it is of God, you cannot
overthrow it – lest you even be
found to fight against God.”
