WARRI: Presiding Bishop of Flock of Christ Mission Int’l Inc, with headquarters in Warri, Delta State, says God has been gracious to him for enabling him to clock 70 years last Sunday, November 28, 2021.
Speaking exclusively to Stonix News, the immediate past Vice President, South South of the Pentecostal Fellowship of Nigeria (PFN), declared that he’s fulfilled in life in spite of the vicissitudes of life.
“I feel very happy because there was a time I thought I won’t be a able to make it.
“We theologians believe that there is time God puts you on hold.
“There was a time God put me on hold and there was all kinds of tribulations, trials to the extent that I had handed almost everything to my wife.
“Sickness came and there was a time I was taken to America. I had brain problem and my son in America took me to an expert.
“They looked at my brain and found out that it was beyond medical cure. So, they asked me to come back home and wait for my death. I told my wife what they said.
“Painfully enough, none of the daughters I have was married so I wanted to live. I told my wife to arrange for a crusade.
“The crusade was arranged for Friday and Saturday; I preached and prayed and people were healed.
“They didn’t believe I was the person that doctors asked to come home and die.
“Not only that, there was a time I had glaucoma. But I survived it,” he added.
While acknowledging that his enemies had tried vainly to terminate his life several times, the fiery cleric said through God he has gotten all he needed in life.
“I will tell you with all my heart that I have. There’s nothing I needed in life that God has not provided.
“I have five daughters and one son and they are all doing well. God gave me one of the best women I could have asked for and we have been together for 50 years.
“I will say I am blessed and I am grateful to God Almighty,” he concluded.
