There is a church beside my house, it's a small church of not more than 20 people. At least from their voices I could assume this number.
Since I moved into this estate I have enjoyed every of their services. Their pastor is so vast and very deep in the word. I have made it a point of call to attend their Sunday school from my house and I have never missed transferring my offering before leaving for my church. Infact I have switched to permanent second service just to enjoy the Sunday school of this other church with whom I share fence. I can't recognise any of their faces except for their pastor's, thanks to the banner in front of the church.
Yesterday midnight, I was awake tidying up a client's job when I heard the pastor praying. He lives in the same premises with his church. This minute he is praying loudly, the next minute he is quiet.
In his groaning, I heard him say "God, you promised to make this ministry big, you told me it's you that sent me. It's been years and I'm tired......He sobed"
Gosh, my heart nearly jumped out of me. I felt his pain. He must have thought about how the ministry isn't attracting the right people, how his vastness and teaching prowess isn't bringing the expected result. He was tired!
I muttered few words of prayers and I was led to drop an unusual offering.
So, I picked my phone and sent him a certain offering that I have never done before. The narration was "From a hidden disciple thankyou" .
This morning, I decided to attend his service throughout, still from my house. During Sunday school, he kept saying he's got a huge testimony to share during main service. I could sense so much excitement in his voice.
During the main service, he said "I don't know how God did it but he has done it.
We now have enough money to commence the radio program that we've always wanted to do. I didn't know some pepple are being blessed by the word of God from my mouth. I didn't know I have hidden disciples. I got a miraculous offering of #xyz this midnight from a hidden disciple and we shall spend everything on our radio outreach"
The whole church screamed and I could hear them rolling on the floor. I was both laughing and crying at the same time.
I felt so happy to have met a major need and rekindled hope in him.
It was time to pray for the donor and I felt an unusual presence of God in my room. These humans prayed from their hearts and I wept like a baby while on my kneels.
Dear leader, coach, pastor, teacher, though its looking like your impact is not felt, your audience size is small or your input doesn't equate your result. Kindly hang on, your breakthrough is here. Someone somewhere is watching and just one day will be your day!
This experience also taught me not to be weary in my assignment and to never underestimate the power of prayers.
Your big break is close! Hang on!

@Temmy_omoileri The generation has completely lost hope. Parents no longer fears God, they choose to remain complacent of their children sins than face the shame.
"It is better of for him that was never born." Address no other time than this.
But for us, God shall train our children. Amin
I was also wondering why he kept the feeding and learning for the Almajiri's secret all this while without speaking about it.
Can someone substantiate how a radio program can teach reading and writing? Educationist over to you please!!
Thank you
Atiku said he established a private university in the North to address the Almajiri problem, adding that he could have taken it to Lagos where there is more commercial advantage, but chose the North instead.
I simply advised him to slow down with the deception, and you people nearly came for my head. 😂
The APC rally in Zamfara State today turned into an Atiku rally.
This is exactly what happened to Goodluck Jonathan between 2014 and 2015, yet the Transformation Ambassadors of Nigeria (TAN), the equivalent of today’s City Boy Movement, prevented him from seeing the reality. In the end, he made the congratulatory call.
BAT will congratulate Atiku.
I think some of you are not just enemies of Nigeria but enemies of the Church also.
You all should be against @PeterObi it's your choice, but all of you must stop meddling with Church matters, it's non of your business who was allowed to speak. Others gathered 500 Imams 3 times
It’s unfortunate and regrettable for any church to give Peter Obi or any politician a platform to campaign, mobilize support, and farm for votes during an election season.
@PeterObi said Pray for us, so that we can use public money for public work.
This brainless human (according to his tweet) is out there spewing rubbish
It's a shame that a sitting president is filing a lawsuit not to publish his case file. Yet some nonentities are defending it
It is a shame that you are called a #Christian... Just recently #Jingir addressed you as an infidel, you were very quiet but suddenly you've gotten your lumps back... You are a shame and a disgrace, money monger and a brainless human.
I can see that the content creator has written an epistle about who knows what. He has resumed his “take back your country” campaign yesterday by visiting a church where spiritual issues were discussed to campaign.
This time around, he sought a new customer in Pastor Selman, since the ones that gave him platform in 2022-2023 found him out
He has been reduced to effigy of content creation, but he would rather push sentiments and vitriol
#Tinubu gathered 500 Imams on 3 consecutive times asking them to endorse him... An Imam alleged they were given 300m for the meeting that was held in Kaduna alone.
@PeterObi only attended service, in his plea for prayers he didn't even exclude himself. Yet you're spewing hate.
He is the Commissioner for Youth and Sports Development and he made the remark during our City Boy Movement’s North East engagement in Maiduguri.
In all honesty, I believe the Commissioner did not mean the statement literally. It was an obvious joke made in the spirit of the lively interaction at the event and everyone present understood it as such. There was clearly no intention to insult, threaten or make any serious statement.
We were there. We heard the remark in its proper context, understood the atmosphere in which it was made, and we dismissed it because we knew it was a joke. Not every statement made at a political gathering should be deliberately amplified or interpreted in the most negative way possible.
There are enough serious issues to debate without manufacturing controversy from an obvious joke.
