I had an encounter with the Almighty God at the historic “Lekki 98” Holy Ghost service that was almost 25 years ago. The theme of that night was “Divine Visitation”. I had just finished from secondary school with no hope or assurance of furthering my studies.
At best, I was thinking of going to learn a trade and not sure of the next step cos my parents are not rich with the resources to send me to a university. That day 18th December 1998, a friend told me about Lekki 98 with the fliers and posters everywhere. I decided to go NOT for a miracle but just for the fun of it as a teenager who just turned 18years. I didn’t even inform my parents that I was going for a vigil cos they had gone to work and there was no mobile phone that period.
That night I saw a multitude that I have never seen before in my life and the atmosphere was filled with the wave of the power of the holy spirit that I immediately knew that my coming to that programme was not by chance and that God wanted to re-write my story. Words of prophesy were coming out from our daddy GO and I was shouting amen with faith. After the programme my friend and I trekked all the way from Lekki to Yaba as a result of heavy traffic; one of the heaviest traffic NIGERIA has ever witnessed due to the inflow and outflow of those who attended that programme.
That same year God visited me and my family. I got admission into the University that same December without any connection. God by himself took me to the school and also gave my father a good job to pay the fees throughout my stay.
God also cured me of persistent body scratch that I have experienced since I was young and my mum said it was hereditary. I didn’t even know the body scratch had disappeared until after several months. God beautified my life and gave me an oratory skill. I have to mention that I was a very shy person before then who couldn’t summon courage but after that night everything changed. Today by his grace, I also have a degree from an international university abroad, married with children and I can never forget where the life changing encounter started from.
