Dedication

This book is dedicated to:

God Almighty, the Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, has confirmed His Perfect Plan and Purpose for my life through His special Grace. God has granted me victory over the challenges of life and delivered me from all the plans of the devil.

My Parents (Late Mr. Joshua & Mrs. Abigail Bolaji) knew the Lord and served Him.

My Father-in-law (Mr. Thomas Ogunbode) and my Mother-in-law (late Mrs. G. Ogunbode).

My Dear Loving Wife (Elizabeth Jadesola Bolaji) who has always been there for me as the true help-mate that God has made her to be for me, without her love, encouragement, and support, this book would not have been possible.

My two beautiful daughters (Faith MojolaOluwa and Grace Onaopemipo) who had been a source of joy and help to me and all my family members in Nigeria.

Families who allowed God to use them to accomplish His perfect plan and purpose for my life! Among them: Very Revd. (Prof.) & Mrs. G.K. Falusi, Rt. Revd. & Mrs. E.B. Gbonigi, Dr. & Mrs. S.A. Aina, Late Chief (Dr.) & Chief (Mrs.) William Mays, Miss Paige Hardin, and all my American family members.

African Christian Fellowship Brethren, who believed in the power of prayer. I am very grateful to be a beneficiary of the love and prayer support from all of you prayer warriors.

Brethren, with whom I had the opportunity to work within Nigeria, had been an example of God’s love and encouragement. Among them: Late Revd. Moses Olagundoye, Late Very Revd. Folu Soyannwo, Very Revd. (Dr.) Mike Oye, Pastor Muyiwa Olamijulo, Rt. Revd. Jacob Ajetunmobi, Pastor (Mrs.) B. Amangoh (formerly Miss Beatrice Nwogonuwe), Pastor Alfred Odibo, Ven. Niyi Woranola, Ven. Chris Uzochukwu (formerly Mr. Chris Onoguwe), Rev. (Dr.) Dele Babatunde, Rt. Revd. Raphael Okafor, The Scripture Union Nigeria Leadership, and the entire members over the years.

Foreword

The whole idea of God’s Perfect Plan and Purpose was a captivating autobiography depicting life challenges, winnings, romance, and courage. The author gave practical and useful tools to help both Christians and non-Christians to overcome adversities. A valuable and easy read for all readers.

There are books that inform, and there are books that transform. This book transforms because it is not just about God giving a man a testimony, but about God making a man a testimony. I recommend this book to anyone that wants to experience a transformation in any aspect of your life.

Rev. (Dr.) Rhema Ehiemere

Author of A Suspect for Success and Founder of Global Relevance Network

In this easy-to-read narration of a life touched by the mighty hands of God, the author demonstrated how God can take an otherwise ordinary life and make it a testimony for the world to see. Knowing this man for over forty years is also a testimony to the fact that God rewards faithfulness: Moreover it is required in stewards, that a man be found faithful (1 Corinthians 4:2 KJV). Anyone will be encouraged by reading this book.

My Testimony Summary

The Purpose and Perfect Plan

of God for My Life

I was diagnosed with prostate cancer at the early age of 47 years. A radical retropubic prostatectomy surgery was performed on me. I was transferred to the Intensive Care Unit (ICU) after many hours in the operating room and spent six days on the hospital’s regular floor before I was discharged. God miraculously healed me from prostate cancer and delivered me from the jaw of satan. By God’s special grace, I was fully and completely healed and began living a normal life again after a year at home. In order for you to really appreciate my testimony, how it began, and how it ends, as well as appreciating what God has done in my life. It is very important that you know and understand a few things about my background, starting from my early childhood experience as well as the challenges of life that God had granted me victories along my life’s journey.

Even the coronavirus pandemic could not stop or stand on the way of this book being published! Thanks be to God.
