The Nigerian Televangelist and President of Pentecostal Fellowship Of Nigeria (PFN), Bishop Francis Wale Oke has revealed what he did when he was at a dead end, at some point in his life and ministry.
He said everybody he expected to stand by him, were no where to be found when his life was being threatened. “I faced a very serious battle, a titanic battle. The enemy wanted to wipe me out and wipe the ministry out. I began to pray and to fast. I was so desperate. I look to the right, there was nobody to turn to. I look to the left and there was nobody to help. So, I made up my mind that I was going to seek God. I was very, very desperate. I was down to earth and I began to fast and to pray. I know the place of my defense and strength is the altar. If people turn away from me, God will not. So, I decided to seek the face of the Lord in prayer and fasting,” Bishop Francis said.
The clergyman said he prayed for one hundred and eighty-six days, without eating breakfast or lunch. “When I started, I thought I was going to finish early but no, the battle was getting stronger. The day when it was 186days of praying and fasting, with no breakfast, no lunch. I just take a slight dinner. I look shrunk. The size of my clothes was bigger, because I lost weight. I was desperate, seeking the face of the Lord because of the battle. It was like coming against the hordes of darkness,” Bishop Francis said.
He further added that after praying for over hundred days, God gave him an instruction. “I was praying when the Lord spoke to me. He said I should raise Him an altar. So, I decided to take the precious stuff I have and I laid it at the altar. I told God, ‘I’m giving this to you. You know this is my prized possession, it’s something I really love and treasured’ and I took all the money I had in my account that time. I emptied it on the altar of God. I was not doing it to bribe God, no! I was desperate. I was sincere. I needed God’s help. I needed to provoke God’s help and the battle turned around and God began to move. He began to judge all those that are after me and my life. He began to deal with them and brought every single one of them to bow before me and apologized. Look at me today, sustained by God, helped by God and blessed by God,” Bishop Francis said.
