Why I wrote the Book
I have been serving the Lord for over 40 years and ministered as a pastor, Director of Bible Institutes, Teacher, Evangelist and Board Member in organizations for over 30 years. The sermons, lessons, wisdom and the truth that I have gleaned from the spirit of God were documented for the generations now and those ahead. I have pastored and served the poor and the homeless for over 22 years. I received Canadian Caring Award from Ottawa and the Order of Manitoba from both the Governor General, David Johnston and the Order Of Manitoba from Lieutenant Governor, Philip S Lee respectively. I have a wealth of knowledge and experiences that many seek after. As a servant who poured water on the hands of ministers like Rev. Benson Idahosa, Rev. JBS Coker and Rev. Dick Eastman, I am fortunate to have been served by men and women of God of our generation.view less
