It is a common knowledge that everyone that professes to be a Minister of God lays claims to being ‘called’ by the Most High God ab initio into this vocation. With the proliferation of such a set of people in the society, it becomes obvious that not all can be correct in their assertions. In other words, many tales of such callings are preposterous and suggest that the purveyors of such tales are outright liars against the Holy Spirit; and are therefore fake ministers – this fact is attested to by their “so-called ministerial works” afterwards which are filled with deceits, manipulations, and satanic practices. From the Biblical records over the ages and even in the present time, God often speak to His people through some individuals whom He chooses to be the channels of His messages; and this also suggests that indeed there are “real ministers” of God whose ministerial works will eschew all things that do not glorify His Holiness.
Certainly God’s callings can come in different ways and for different purposes. For instance, Noah, Abraham, Moses, and even our Lord Jesus Christ etc. were used by the Most High God at some points in time to draw the attention of His people towards Him. While a call involved the ‘caller’ and the ‘called’ on one hand, it also includes the message from the caller, as well as the choice of either to accept or reject such a message by the called on the other hand – the Biblical Jonah is a typical example. In other words, when God calls an individual for a ministerial purpose, the ‘called’ is expected to leave all he is doing in the present and heed to such a call. Afterwards, the Lord will guide the person on how to go about the fulfillment of the work.
According to Evang. Peter Kolajo, his personal experience occurred one morning at his then workplace, Nigerian National Petroleum Company. God asked him to leave his high-paying job immediately and go back home, and which he did that same day. While awaiting further instructions from God on what next to do, it became extremely difficult to explain to anyone including family members why he had to leave his job unceremoniously. Patience and perseverance became the critical virtues the Lord Jesus Christ drummed into his psyche, as the Lord later instructed him to go into the ‘wilderness’. In the 7-year sojourn in the wilderness, the Lord provided for the needs of his family in the Lord’s own ways, and helped them overcome diverse challenges that came their way. In a nutshell, God’s calling and training for ministerial duties might come in different ways to different people, but certainly it is seldom received and learnt directly from any school but rather from the Almighty God Himself who will teach and equip one for the journey and inherent challenges ahead. In short, when a person accepts the calling of God, the ‘so-called’ must be ready to accept the Lord as his Guide in all things.
Furthermore, the cleric explained that he neither requests for tithes nor offerings from the congregants during ministrations, for the good and all-sufficient Lord is always by him to provide for all the materials needed for the ministerial duties. In particular, in his ministerial assignment to “preach the Gospel of our Lord Jesus Christ in truth and holiness to every nook and cranny of the world, and deliver all nations starting from Nigeria from satanic bondage”, the greatest solace he has is to see the presence of the Lord abides with him always, and never in the abundance of riches or material appurtenances. For instance, since 2017 when he commenced his travels and ministrations across the length and breadth of Nigeria for the “Nigeria National Deliverance” program, he is opportune to meet the rich and the poor, the young and the old, the employed and the unemployed, the believers and the non-believers, the Nigerians and the non-Nigerians, the politicians and the civilians, etc. and never had he demanded for monetary rewards from anyone. Rather his simple message to all and sundry, and even to the power brokers in the country especially in Abuja is that: God wants to deliver Nigeria and its people, and He will scatter and re-arrange all things in Nigeria. Recently, the Lord revealed to him that the deliverance work of Nigeria is completed in the spiritual realm, and Nigeria should await the physical manifestations henceforth. As it was in the Noah’s days, so it is today: people seldom listen to the still “Voice of the Lord” particularly with the proliferation of “fake ministers” of God in the current dispensation.
Nigeria is a beloved country destined to proclaim the glory of the Lord to all nations in the world. Of great note is the spiritual uniqueness of the two colors in its national flag: green and white. The former signifies the earth, and the freshness and lushness of its vegetation; while the latter signifies the sky or heaven, and its purity and holiness. In the spiritual realm, Nigeria can be likened to the Biblical ‘Eden’ which is blessed for the inhabitants. It can never be divided along ethnic cleavages as some are clamoring for. Rather the “hidden glory” in the country will become manifest for the use of all, when Nigerians be they leaders or followers heed the counsel of the Lord. In particular, the three major tribes namely, the Hausa, the Igbo and the Yoruba must live in harmony according to the dictates of the Lord for their individual ethnic glory to be accessible to them all.
To the God of Fire will be all the glory, honor and adoration.
