Chapter 2 (my salvation story episode 2)

Remember I said there was a church close by, but when the Holy Spirit inspired my spirit I had to follow a brother I didn't know, while we were going it was from one corner to another junction within me I was just like where are we going, we trekked from ODOGUNYAN through ODONLA. At one point I needed to ask him where we were going he replied and said we were close when we got there I was just like finally. The church was well built and during the sermon, the preacher said something phenomenal though this had been imprinted in my heart for a long time but no one said anything about it to me.

A long time ago when I was still living life the way I felt it should be, I had a voice from within me saying Samuel don't you know as you sleep around with different ladies you're sharing from your glory before you know you will be empty, ever since I had this word in my spirit no one has confirmed to it so I was left to decide if I was going to obey, on this day the preacher said something about this same thing I have been bothered about, he said don't you know you're like a tanker of fuel, if you go around to different fueling station to give fuel you would go back empty and I was like Jesus Christ this man spoke my mind. I concluded this is my church, I went the next day which is the first Thursday of the month (New Moon).

I already told the brother who took me I would love to be a part of the choir. So when I got there and was granted access to the barricade instantly they gave me a mic to sing and I was like haha I just came moreover I don't even know what to sing, I enjoyed the worship and I became more fervent in service, I then started leading evening service, but before I did I wrote it out cause I was scared of failing not knowing there is a template made available, at first my prayer were straight no confidence to add bible quotations. I observed every single service day my resting days were Mondays and Tuesdays though all I wanted to do was to serve God.

But then I began schooling at the Theological seminary I got more occupied, my father in Christ (S.E Olamiji Alimi) helped out with the process he said he perceived within him that I was called. I was staying in church and I left my comfort because my comfort wasn't comforting I kept having a series of sexual dreams which normally before I don't usually have just once in a while but now that I am in Christ it has become constant I was disturbed within me, a lot of voices but there is this particular voice I heed to which told me to sing and rejoice and I would be like in this ?.

This was reoccurring frequently then I got really tired I went to church to pray I went on a mufti I went to the MERCY LAND(IN CHURCH), and when I got there I was just pouring out my mind silently then I heard a voice from within saying be under confinement (ábo) for a week I felt that was the answer to the sexual dreams, at the time I was told this I didn't have much cash at hand and it was during covid 19 my dad came to check up on me it has been a while since we had the father to son talk and time, I left me for a week but I made provision for food(Soup and the likes) I was a chef during that season. I left home with just two thousand naira (2,000) I kept contemplating how I would go about it for a week I added fasting to it so that money could serve me.

Though God never told me to fast because I was concerned about the money I had with me so I added fast for myself but when I got there it was a different story the assistant shepherd was very nice to me he called me if I had something to eat I didn't wish or want to lie so I said no he fed me all through that week, the church felt like home though the sleeping process was my issue and I couldn't wait to leave I am not used to waking up by 5 am when it is not like I am going to work and the hourly bowing down of one's head, bible study, services all round. On the day I was about to leave there was a service I think it should be a CHRISTENING service (Naming ceremony) while I told the ass. Shepherd I was leaving while I was about to leave the church gate I heard a voice that said you want to leave your Father's business?

I was like eh God this is not what you told me now, you said I should be here for just a week which one is now your Father's business but then I comply with the counsel of the Spirit I went back in and prepared for the service as for the Ass. Shepherd he was just laughing at me ever since that day 2020 I have been staying in the church. Mom came back from her trip (Gambia) dad came to stay with me in church they have been separated for a long time but then in my journey a lot had happened, I was already a youth coordinator, the Sunday school head teacher, an exco in the choir department.



This is not just a story it is a revelation.

thanks for your support and love.

Chapter 3 (My salvation story episode 1)

 My sincere apologies to my readers. I didn’t mean to go blank all this while. It has been a journey beyond my understanding—a lot has happened and is still happening—but to the glory of God, we are back. Let me share with you some of the things I learnt during my time offline. I am married now, to the glory of God, to a beautiful damsel (God-sent). She used to be someone I counseled many years back—2021 precisely. When I first met her, I saw God’s glory (her beauty), but she hadn’t yet come into a true relationship with Him (God). She was operating on a transactional method with God: she wanted God to give her things, and she would give Him her best in return, as she often said. So, I decided not to be moved by what I saw physically, but to focus on showing her the God that I know. In 2024, we met again—both single this time. I couldn’t help but admire God’s beauty in her, but I was still focused on preaching the God I knew to her. This time, she was willing to accept Him because ...

Chapter 3 (My salvation story episode 2)

 When I got back from my first visit to my father-in-law, all I could think about was when to go back there and do what was needful. Even without any financial support, I picked a date and spoke to a few people about it as I was led, showing them the list given to me and the date I intended to get married. They pledged to support me, and most of them did, to the glory of God. I chose April 24th. That was just about 69 days from my first visit. I did this without having any money of my own. Due to my little trust and understanding in God at the time, I was leaning more on my own understanding and putting my trust in those I had told. Here comes  PEOPLE'S PERCEPTIVE ABOUT ME : SAMUEL  GET yourself a job so You won't need to depend on anyone, and whatever you are given should only be considered a bonus. I was asked, “Once you both are married, how do you intend to survive?” “You don’t have money, yet you went to pick a date?” “What is your dad’s contribution?” “How much do y...

Chapter 3 (My salvation story episode 3)

 There was a time when God placed a burden in my heart — and in the hearts of two other brethren — for more. We desired to know Jesus Christ more deeply. We longed to live fully for Him and to pour into others whatever He had given us. We wanted to see a generation of youth truly burning for Christ — this was the More. I didn’t want to be the only one seeing things this way. I knew it was divine—something not of this world. But how could I explain it? I found myself speaking and preaching like an elder, as if I were preparing to leave this world soon. The three of us prayed intensely — mostly in tongues and often aloud. It was a new culture, unfamiliar within our fold. I was troubled at times, trying to manage the intensity, the noise, the energy—but I couldn’t. We began gathering on Saturdays. People started joining us. The numbers grew, and with that growth came fear. What would people say? Our understanding of the Word of God felt beyond the ordinary. We called ourselves *The Ch...
