The call of God

This awesome encounter started immediately after his conversion in 1990. God specifically revealed to him that he will use mhi to reach my generation. Though it was not clear to me then, in pursued my higher education, in 1993, the lord told him that my education shall be a wheel to drive the gospel and that he will not work in any circular organisation with the certificate, though he disobeyed this instruction severally and he paid dearly for it until in 2004 when he finally yielded fully to serve in the ministry.
