HISTROY OF GOSPEL CHRISTIAN OUTREACH MINISTRY WORLDWIDE ASABA

HISTROY OF GOSPEL CHRISTIAN OUTREACH MINISTRY WORLDWIDE ASABA.

This Ministry was borne out of a burden for souls. In 1988, during my first semester holidays, in bible school.as I was praying for financial helpers to see me through the second semester among other prayer requests, the lord gave me a vision.

In the vision, He opened my eyes and I saw one of the directors of G.B.O. Olivant company where I was an employee paying the staff their salaries. When it got to my turn, he instructed the cashier not to pay me. On enquiry, the said director told me that I should go to a town called Asaba in the then Bendel state of Nigeria. There lieth my riches and treasures.

Back to school for the second semester, I discussed my encounter in the vision with my fellow students and lecturers who counselled that I shoul seek the lord for financial provisions to go to this Asaba.

I went into more prayer as counselled and God gave me yet another revelation.

In the revelation, I saw myself lying down in the hostel relating in mediation. In the process , I went to collect a letter. As I opened it I saw twelve pieces of gold enclosed with the letter, wondering what to do with them. I then went to one of my lecturers who is my confidant and relayed the visions to him. He told me that God was giving me a ministry. He added that it was going to be an onerous task, bedeviled with problems, sufferings and many hazards. It is only with perseverance and endurance that the lord will bless me and the ministry .

On graduation from school the western bible college Iperu, Ogun state Nigeria. I worked as a pastor with the western district of the Assemblies of GOD Church Osun district. It was there the lord finally spoke to me between 1980 and 1993. He said that He had a great task for me. I told the lord that the brethren loved me and my ministry and therefore it was not possible to leave them and go to an unknown place. He replied that I would be hated by the sanme loving brethren.

Within the same spece of years, the lord in another vision took me to an airport where He told Evangelist Reinhard Bonke that He still stood by what He had ben telling me. Yet, I was adamantly disobedient.

The lord showed me the General superintendent of Assemblies of God church commissioning me and giving the charge that as I preach, I should declare liberty to the people . the lord then gave me the name of the my ministry, Gosple Christian Bible Church .

On November 3rd 1993, I left the Assemblies of God church to finally answer the lords call.

Having taken this great decision, I went to the prayer mountain. There I spent three months seeking His direction.

On the mountain, the lord took me back to 1987 when He first spoke to me about Asaba He told me that the idolatry , wickedness and immorality of the town was so great. I was therefore being sent to go and proclaim liberty to the people and the land. He further added that since he the lord intended to make the town a state capital, he wanted me to proceed this intention of His which I unfortunately declined.

In AUGUST 1992, Asaba was actually made the state capital of Delta state of Nigeria by then head of state General Ibrahim Babangida.

I left the prayer mountain for ibadan .there I spent six months assisting my friend in church planting. I left ibadan for ilesha on February 24th 1994, and on march 1st 1994 I finally left for Asaba. The Almighty God unknown to me had mercifully made provisions for me in Asaba.

As soon as I arrived, after a successful spiritual and physical mapping out of the town, I began intercessory prayers and revival programmes for churches.

In August 1995, the ministry took off as a prayer fellowship with an initially membership of a female adult and her four grand children.
