Chapter 2 (my salvation story episode 3)

 My dad came during the COVID-19 lockdown, it was during this period he was laid off duties and we needed to start looking forward to a new job. It was at this time I noticed we never had a father-to-a-son relationship and the time was too short to make that happen but we both managed ourselves. During the arrival of my mum, I already took my dad to the church we stayed in the church together. Upon my mum's arrival, I went to the airport to meet with her then I realized I truly missed her. It was over a year since I saw her the longest of it all. 


My mum slept home alone that night, at this time sleeping at home looked very scary and I also wouldn't want dad to feel I left him alone in the church. I felt Mum would understand, though I was always going to visit her. I experienced a different mum this time she was trying to make all her children and grannies happy and she did that but while we were enjoying this moment with her, she got ill we all thought it was just a normal sickness and she would come through it.


I went to meet with her at the Hospital where she was admitted. I prayed with her I was so confident that nothing would happen to my mother but then it kept getting worse. She left the hospital because she was discharged and there was no improvement. She was at my big sister's place we tried herbs cause everyone was saying this would help, that would help that it is not something too serious but it was. Mum got admitted again at Shagamu Teaching Hospital and at this time it seemed there was hope cause her breathing struggle ceased so I became more positive but the more I got positive the more I got discouraged.


My mum couldn't do things on her own we helped her with practically everything, even at this point I was still attending to church matters, and even when i was led to pray for others (In the Hospital) I did and I preached to some. One of those I prayed for was a young lady struggling with her life I was positive she wasn't going to die since I already prayed for her but a day after I was told she gave up the ghost. I wasn't happy but I still summoned up confidence since my mum is still alive, I was going to church service on Sundays praying for God's healing on my mum though most of the churches I went to were not spirit-filled. I get frustrated and just couldn't wait to leave (Shagamu and Abeokuta).


Mum's condition wasn't getting better, at first, I was always going and coming but then I remained with her in the hospital with my big sister, I went with two garments and my faith. My mum was looking so different but I would always peck her on her forehead and prophesy positive things into her life. I had a dream about myself and my mum in a boat and the boat was in a very bad condition this was long before her arrival and I was holding onto a rope but the boat capsized I saw myself but my mum I wasn't sure, so I thought since the boat restored there were no issues and then I don't tend to believe my dreams cause I do have sexual dreams, seeing myself smoking so I discard them as a dream from the pit of hell.


Then I remembered the dream I became more confident and I felt my mum wouldn't die and I had that conviction and clarity that she wouldn't but still mum wasn't feeling better she was later transferred to FMC Abeokuta This was where the story ended after a lot of efforts it was already tiring and faith was shaken I was bottling up a lot with no one to share it with but rather I will prefer to listen to others seek out a way to help, I saw a lot of people died right in my eyes I saw people cry deeply for their loved ones I console some I became friends with some, I prayed with some. At this point, I was always going to pray for my mum and I also picked out some people I prayed with while praying I remember others and told them about what Christ can do.


I never knew Mum was the next in line to transit, after a successful surgery she was transferred to the intensive care unit (ICU) after a few days my mum gave up the ghost but before she did I said something before that hour which was mum if you need to go rest please do the stress is too much and it is killing. I was tired, and I needed fresh air. My mum truly went to rest I acted like a man but I was battered had a lot of questions that had no answers, is that my mum wrapped and taken away ? Is she gone for real? Will I ever see her again? God, I thought you told me she wasn't going to Die?


We left the hospital but while we were leaving for Lagos i was already strategizing on what the youth organization would look like, and the Sunday school though I never went to the church i was home for almost a week I had to resumed school (Theological Seminary) to clear my head cause while I was at home I almost fought with someone which would have led to me killing him, i was active but pained, bruised, lost all I needed was to hear the word of God cause my faith was no where to be found. 


It is not just a story it is a revelation 


See you soon!!!

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...
