DAY 5: ANNUAL OSOGBO CITY MEGA RALLY 2023


 Gradually the 2023 edition of the annual GOFGEM rally is winding up but not without significant signs and points of future reference.
Noteworthy today 18th December 2023, was the movement to the Isale Osun grove crossroad (Better-life Junction) where Evangelist Kolajo under the mighty influence of God's power prophetically declared the deliverance of all souls across the universe from the captivity of the devil after which he used the crossroad as a point of contact to the four cardinal axis of the universe for blessings. He further declared peace upon Osun state, Nigeria, Africa and the entire World after that.
Furthermore, as the rally train proceeded, a spectacular scene popped up when a fully clothed female traditional worshipper singularly intercepted the entourage of Evangelist Kolajo and proclaimed loudly that he is a great Man sent by God, totally different from others and truly committed to the work of His Creator. Evangelist Kolajo used the opportunity to tell her about the love of Christ Jesus and the need to be fully connected to God Almighty, the Creator of all things through Jesus Christ.

Hallelujah!!
The rally ends on Wednesday 20th December, 2023.

Sometimes in life, we can’t always have control over those who we have around us like our friends, co-workers, family members, etc.


Sometimes in life, we can’t always have control over those who we have around us like our friends, co-workers, family members, etc. We necessarily don’t have to be unruly or rude to these people who are not good to be around because dealing with these category of people can be very difficult, especially when there's no other choice but to be around them often for several hours or perhaps throughout the week or even for life. 

The Bible encourages us to live peaceably with everyone, as much as we can control but also specifically warns about letting in bad influences which would ultimately affect us negatively. However, when stuck in such situations, it takes God’s wisdom to navigate around such unhealthy influences recalling the cases of Eve to Adam, Saul to David and Joseph's brothers.
This was the message of Evangelist Peter Kolajo (Omo-Jesu) during the ongoing 4days special revival tagged "GOD, ASSIGN GOOD PEOPLE UNTO ME". He further prayed that God should assign destiny helpers to everyone and violently remove those who will attempt to hinder or truncate God's plan and purpose in our lives.

GOD OF FIRE AT CHIEF BISI AKANDE'S RESIDENCE, ILA ORANGUN.

An unusual Apostolic visitation few days ago by Evangelist Peter Kolajo to Ila Orangun in furtherance of the matters of Nigeria National Deliverance was a twist and confirmation of the scriptures of *Isaiah 55 : 8 & 11*

 ( _For my thoughts are not your thoughts, neither are your ways my ways, saith the LORD....so shall my word be that goeth forth out of my mouth: it shall not return unto me void, but it shall accomplish that which I please, and it shall prosper in the thing whereto I sent it_ ). 


The visit of Evangelist Kolajo to the elder stateman's residence was purely of divine instructions and guidance on the state of the nation and to give a hint of the mind of God concerning Nigeria and it's forthcoming divine deliverance.

God of Fire: His Mind on Leadership Positions in Nigeria

 


Nigeria is a nation of highly religious people who strongly believe in the supremacy of God over all things temporal and spiritual. Of recent, events in the country are casting aspersions on our common heritage and value of God as a people. The ascendance of insecurity and unrestrained violence in diverse forms like religious fanaticism, kidnapping, ethnic intolerance, local and external terrorism; and in great magnitudes in recorded casualties and fatalities has negatively impacted on the people's emotional well-being, rationality, and by extension our trust, hope and faith in the Lord.

The recurring factor for such a national chaos is leadership deficiency where mean, parochial, selfish and ill-bred politicians in military and civilian garbs dominate and control the national resources which are used for all purposes except public good. This has bred public distrust in leadership, exacerbate conflicts of interests across social fault lines, and thereby tearing down the national fabric of tolerance of contrary opinions, rights and privileges of other people living in an heterogeneous society like ours. As an illustration, let's consider the choice of David as a King in Israel, personal attributes such as courage, pro-social inclinations, reverence to God etc. influenced his choice over others including his siblings. His choice for leadership position was not by hereditary, democratic or primordial factors. In other words, God puts premium on good characters for leadership positions; unlike in our society where charlatans, persons of questionable integrity aspire for and ascend leadership positions in public and private domains.

In a nutshell, to achieve greatness and prominence in the comity of nations, Nigeria does not deserve unpatriotic, impudent, incompetent, selfish, ethnic hegemonic, and devilish set of people for leadership positions as obtained presently. Rather visionary and competent persons who fear God, passionate for public good, committed to changing negative narratives about the country and its citizens, adherents to the rules of law, deficient in religious bigotry and ethnic supremacy, and most importantly chosen by the unction of God are required to steer the national affairs of Nigeria to greater heights.

Civil leadership recruitment in Nigeria tended to follow the common principle of democracy which presupposes that "majority has its way and minority has its say" as practised in major countries of the World. In its trail, bitter acrimonies always ensue on the fairness of such process, and the fitness of candidates recruited via such process. In short, recruited leaders seldom meet the expectations of the people in the long run. Why? People's choices of leaders are most often not God's choices for leadership positions for them.

In conclusions, mediocrity, lawlessness and sins can never exalt a nation in concrete terms unless righteousness and fear of God prevail. This is lent credence in Psalm 127:1 which says "Except the Lord builds a house, they labor in vain that build it, except the Lord keeps a city, the watchmen wake up in vain". Nigerians need to allow God to choose leaders for them through the unction of the Holy Spirit. How to go about achieving this goal is left in the Hands of the Lord for guidance.

GOFGEM WORKERS @ APOSTLE AYO BABALOLA'S MOUNTAIN,IKOYI, OSUN STATE.

 





Since the establishment of God of Fire Global Evangelical Ministry, the statement of Jesus Christ in reference to a good shepherd laying his life down for the sheep has been the norm between Evangelist Peter Kolajo and the entire congregation.

It was once again the turn of the entire work force of the Ministry to benefit from the selflessness of the Son of Jesus as all were led to Apostle Ayo Babalola's mountain Ikoyi, Osun State on Sunday 29th January, 2023 which buttresses an intelligent statement which says... _"_True leadership lies in guiding others to success, in ensuring that everyone is performing at their best....."_.


The spiritual connection between Ayo Babalola and Peter Kolajo was conspicuously displayed when all the natural forces of nature showed up to pay obeisance to the Covenant holder of this generation.
Firstly, Evangelist Peter Kolajo took time to appreciate the efforts of the workers of the Ministry from past to present, he encouraged them to strive more and to continue without fear, intimidation or weariness. He further took time to bless and pray for all incumbent workers not omitting those of the future till the end of the universe.


While this was ongoing, mother nature showed up to acknowledge the presence of the Son of Jesus as it suddenly became very windy, cloudy and the first rainstorm of the New Year in Ikoyi town started with great thunderings and lightning drenching everyone present. 
Noteworthy also was the appearance of the Sun with rings of rainbow around it just after the heavy downpour thus completing the sequence of the elements of nature.
God of Fire is worthy to be praised.
Hallelujah!!

APOSTOLIC VISITATION TO THE IKOGOSI WARM - COLD WATER SPRING RESORT, IKOGOSI-EKITI, EKITI STATE


 
The Abuja season of Freedom Prayers ended on Sunday and enroute Osun state on Monday, there was a divinely orchestrated stop over at the Warm-Cold water spring resort located in IKOGOSI-EKITI by Evangelist Peter Kolajo and his entourage.
Warmly welcomed by Mrs Akolade (the resort tour guide), she explained many notable miraculous things about the springs which includes;

 I) the Warm-Cold water Springs were discovered 700 years ago by an HUNTER who came hunting in the area (surprisingly, Evangelist Peter Kolajo also comes from the lineage of Hunters as his biological father was the Head of Hunters in Ifon Osun during his lifetime) 
II) the source of both warm and cold water springs erupted from two  different and distant rock points,
III) the Hot water has 7 sub-tributaries which combine at 2 main tributaries to become warm water before flowing to the point of meeting with the cold,
IV) the cold water springs has 2 main tributaries from it's source which flows down to the point of meeting with the warm spring, 

V) both the warm and cold water springs NEVER mix up at the point of meeting but go along side by side until it gets to a major stream downhill as it mixes to become lukewarm by touch AND
VI) the warm-cold water springs has NEVER DRIED up for once since it's discovery till date.

At the source of the Warm springs, the Covenant-holder, Evangelist Kolajo, filled with the Power and Authority of God Almighty emphatically declared the take over of Nigeria, Africa and the whole World by God of Fire. He prayed for the freedom of the beloved of God all across the globe, rebuking every power of the devil, sickness, misery, barrenness and afflictions, idols, idol worship and every veil of darkness. 
The Covenant-holder spiritually declared the total withdrawal of wicked, deceitful, ungodly individuals from governmental positions and positions of high echelon and their automatic replacement with truthful, God fearing individuals who will liberate the masses and be accountable to God and Men in all spheres.
Finally, members of staff at the Resort after confirming that this experience was the first ever and very special to them, made use of the opportunity to get blessed and prayed for by God of Fire through Evangelist Kolajo.

God of Fire reigns forever!!
Shalom!!!

FREEDOM OF NIGERIA PRAYERS DAY 2 (ABUJA CITY GATE)

The Supernatural mandate of God's intervention concerning the affairs of Nigeria handed over to Evangelist Peter Kolajo (Omo-Jesu) many years ago as NIGERIA NATIONAL DELIVERANCE has in recent times
metamorphosed into FREEDOM OF NIGERIA. The concept of this Freedom was birthed with the unequivocal assurance that God of Fire has completely taken over the reins of power from the highest governmental echelon to the lowest in Nigeria, Africa and the entire World.

In line with this, the Abuja prayers on the Second day at the City gate were poised towards the prophetic establishment of God's kingdom over the lives of the masses and the beloved globally. Evangelist Kolajo further took time out to bless Nigeria, Africa and the entire Universe as a whole.
Nigerian Freedom is now!
Global Freedom is now!!
God of Fire has Taken Over!!!


Prayers of Freedom by Evangelist Peter Kolajo (Omo-Jesu)

for our beloved country Nigeria was rendered and the Host of Heavens had began the work of blowing the breeze of peace, unity, faith and progress into the four corners of the nation and the world at large........

The 63rd Year Remembrance of Apostle Joseph Ayo Babalola



In memory of the indelible and impactful evangelical works of the last Covenant Holder, Apostle Joseph Ayo Babalola particularly in Nigeria, special activities to mark the 63rd year celebration of his death were organized by the Christ Apostolic Church in conjunction with the God of Fire Global Evangelical Ministry at his birth place in Ikotun-Ile, Odo-Owa town, Kwara State on Saturday 30th April 2022.

Odo-Owa town was filled with people who eagerly awaited the ministration of the Guest Speaker
in the person of the present Covenant Holder, Evangelist Peter Kolajo. The theme of his ministration centred on "How God sent Apostle Ayo Babalola to preach the gospel and to call for repentance of souls".

In his sermon, Evangelist Peter Kolajo emphasized on how Apostle Ayo Babalola, the great Revivalist and Healer preached the Word of God, and also raised the dead and healed the sick people with water, but yet he never used the glory of his time. He spoke on how the Apostle died uncelebrated at his birth place, and buried in a strange land at Efon Alaaye, Ekiti State; and also on the poor state of infrastructure in the town.

Evangelist Peter Kolajo used various examples in the Holy Bible to emphasize that the name of Jesus Christ alone is capable of saving mankind from the strangleholds of satan. Anointing water cannot save anyone as it never saved Apostle Babalola from death, likewise anointing oil, spiritual incenses, bathing inside rivers cannot save. Jesus Christ is the Way, the Truth, and the Life. He is the only Pathway to overcome every challenge in life.

Lastly, the cleric prayed for the deliverance of the town and its inhabitants from age-long woes and curses, and also led the congregants through prayers to overcome satanic attacks, and also recover their lost glories.

Halleluyah!!!

It traversed through the Saint Joseph Ayo Babalola Apostolic Church, the Owa Oloota Palace till it reached the ancient house of the parents of Apostle Ayo Babalola at Ikotun Iwewe Compound where a brief stop-over was made by Evangelist Peter Kolajo for prayers and prophetic declarations inside the house. As soon as the stop-over ended, the GOFGEM Rally Train moved on to Igboniyun in Ikotun-Ile, the exact birth spot of Late Apostle Joseph Ayo Babalola which coincided as the venue of the 63rd Remembrance activities.

Upon arrival, the Obadofin of Ikotun-Ile HRM Oba David Afolayan Omope Ilufemiloye 1, the eminent Chiefs, the Ministers of God, and the indigenes were elated to see and welcome Evangelist Peter Kolajo, and other GOFGEM Team members to the venue of the event.

Hallelujah!!!





The Fear of the Lord

 


The fear of the Lord is the beginning of knowledge; but fools despise wisdom and instructions

(Prov. 1:7)

In general, the fasting period popularly known as the Lenten or Ramadan period among the believers of the Christian and Islamic faiths respectively signifies the time of strict spiritual abstinence, and obedience to the precepts of God. Often believers tend to become closer to God in words and deeds showing remorse and repenting over past behavior and promising God to be of good behavior in their future actions. In short, they are acknowledging the absolute power of God over their lives, and the realization of this infinite power of the Lord to create, elevate, stagnate or even destroy creatures without any trail at His Will. The fear or dread of the Lord stems from this realization, and it is often at its peak during the Lenten period. Two pertinent questions arise: firstly, what exactly does it mean to fear the Lord; and secondly, does the fear of the Lord limited by time or by season?

Firstly, the Ten Commandments of the Lord are clearly stated in Exodus 20, and the two greatest of them all are as explained in Matt. 22: 37-40. These are: first, “Thou shall love the Lord thy God with all thy heart, and with all thy soul, and with all thy mind” (vs. 37); and second, “Thou shall love thy neighbor as thyself” (vs. 39). In a nutshell, the love of God and the love of neighbors are the necessary and sufficient indicators to show who fear the Lord. Obedience to these two precepts is fundamental to knowing people that fear the Lord. In other words, those that fear the Lord shall: honor their parents, not kill, not commit adultery, not steal, not bear false witness against neighbors, and shall neither covet neighbor’s wives nor properties. Anyone in whatever sphere of influence that departs from these precepts lacks the fear of the Lord, and he is only fit for perdition if he fails to repent of these heinous sins.

Importantly, in Deut. 28 the benefits of obedience and the costs of disobedience of the Lord’s precepts are clearly spelt out there: for the former, “And it shall come to pass, if thou shalt hearken diligently unto the voice of the Lord thy God, to observe and to do all his commandments which I command thee this day, that the Lord thy God will set thee on high above all nations of the earth. And all these blessings shall come on thee, and overtake thee, if thou shall hearken unto the voice of the Lord thy God …” (vs. 1-14); and for the latter, “But it shall come to pass, if thou will not hearken unto the voice of the Lord thy God, to observe to do all His commandments and His statutes which I command thee this day; that all these curses and woes shall come upon thee, and overtake thee …” (vs. 15-68). Jesus Christ also emphasized in Matt. 5:19 that, “Whosoever therefore shall break one of these least commandments, and shall teach men so, he shall be called the least in the Kingdom of Heaven; but whosoever shall do and teach them, the same shall be called great in in the Kingdom of Heaven”. Thus a pertinent question is: if all that profess to be Christians or believers fear the Lord in truth and in holiness, why are there differences in doctrines and narratives about our Lord Jesus Christ in the Church of God today?

Secondly, in 2022 the fasting periods of both the Christians and the Muslims coincided, what does this coincidence portends to the discerning minds? Obedience to the Lord’s precepts is evergreen or timeless for the true believers. It is not seasonal, and it is expected to be adhered to at all times whether during or after the fasting period. Previous fasting becomes senseless and of no benefits, if believers failed to imbibe and obey the true precepts of the Lord in their daily lives. Thus, the current coincidence is a divine sign that the Lord desires every true believer irrespective of religion, faith or denomination to turn a new leaf, abhor sins, avoid fake prophets and clerics, and follow Him in truth and holiness henceforth. 

The Bible says “You shall know the truth, and the truth shall set you free”. These nuggets of advice shall be helpful to all:

§  To the individual, in the confines of your heart ask your Creator to reveal Himself to you so that you can serve Him appropriately; and also ask the Lord thy God to reveal the secrets of your Pastor, Imam or Prophet, and your place of worship to be sure that you have not fallen into the hands of the fake ministers;

§  To the family, parents should allow their children to know their Creator, and serve Him with their whole heart, soul and mind. They should allow the Will of God to prevail in the lives of their children, and not forcing their personal wills upon them;

§  To the government, leaders and followers should fear God and realize that every position occupied is held in trust, and they shall be held accountable for their deeds or misdeeds at the appropriate time; and

§  To the society, be mindful of the neighbors around you by showing concern for their wellbeing, the peer group your children keep especially their personal habits and attitudes to life in general.

In conclusion, fasting and prayer are not sufficient conditions for eternal salvation; and even to overcome personal challenges in life. Rather the “Fear of the Lord” is the divine key to enjoy the protection, blessings, mercies and favor of the Lord thy God, and also have eternal life.

To the God of Fire will be all the glory, honor and adoration.
