I will never forget years ago, I was supposed to go for a meeting in Kaduna, I was already taking my bath and I was happy. In fact, they really had started the meeting but they would give me a two-hour gap and so, I was taking my bath because it will take about an hour to get to Kaduna from Zaria and while I was taking my bath, the Holy Spirit spoke to me expressly. He said, “Do not go for that meeting.”
Not because there was anything wrong with the meeting; very sincere people. “Let someone stand for you.” I felt sad because these were people I love sincerely. I was going for that meeting to encourage the people; they love Jesus with all their hearts. I said, “How do I tell these people now? They had done the little and put posters and it was not like they had much.” I had to call two of my people in Kaduna and said, “Please, go for this meeting and go and stand for me.” When I called the people, they thought I was already around; “Apostle, are you around?” I said, “Well, I am really sorry, I don’t know how I am going to tell you this but, I may not be able to come. God has restrained me from coming.”
“What happened?”
For every time you hear God and walk in the will of God, there is a fearful blessing at the other side of your obedience. In fact, sometimes, that can literally open the next chapter of your life and destiny. You must obtain grace from God to pray; pray in the night, pray in the morning. You are a man of God, don’t say this is how they are doing it, go to God and pray. They are many things that are wonderful, I have lovely friends in ministry in this nation and across the globe and some of them, I even share with them by the privilege of God’s grace, ideas to be effective in some of the things that they do.
