At Sister Olaniran’s house, after exchanging pleasantries, I laid hands on her and immediately she prophesied. The prophecy goes thus. “I am the Hand of Fire, according to my discussions with you, get ready and prepare to go home and pray for your country”. 

Furthermore, I was instructed to visit the church where sister Olaniran do worship – i.e. CHRIST APOSTOLIC CHURCH, 163, ILDERTON ROAD SOUTH BERDMONDSEY, LONDON SE 162. Then it was a vigil, earlier, the Lord had told me that there was a problem in that church which had lingered for five years and by attending a service there, I should “set-time” just like Moses did set-time in the land of Egypt – so that the problem could be solved. 

The pending problem in the Church was that – The Pastor’s wife had some difficulties with Immigration’s Office, making it impossible for her to come over to England to join her husband who was and is still the Pastor of the church. Within the period, various prophecies from the church Headquarters in London i.e. 7 SISTERS; NORTH – LONDON had spoken that the Pastor’s wife shall surely come; this prophecy came while they had combined services. Then, the Lord had earlier instructed me to preach in the Sunday service and had giving me a Bible passage to set time for the arrival of the wife of the man of God- ISAIAH 43:10, 18-19 

While the Church service was going on, I was invited to minister so I requested the congregation to read the bible passage in a sectionalized manner. It was read first by the choristers, second by the brothers, next by the sisters, and finally by the people sitting at the gallery. After the reading of the bible passage, I declared to the congregation that within a period of 3 months the Pastor’s wife would be given her visa and she will join her husband. 

As the Lord liveth, just within a period of three (3) weeks, she arrived in London along with her four (4) children whom she never expected could be granted visa along with her in the first instance. On her arrival at the GATWICK Airport, London, we all gathered to welcome her. It was a joyous reception as the members of the church also gathered together to glorify God for the fulfillment of my prophecy and the answer to prayers about their Pastor’s wife. Thus the Lord confirmed my Calling (Ministry) by that Bible passage and the fulfillment of the prophecy. Then, the Lord asked me if I am convinced enough and He stressed the former instruction he gave me to leave London for my country, Nigeria and that he had given me the privilege to be “setting time” like Moses did in Egypt. 

The second person that enjoyed the privilege given me to “set time” was Mrs. Adeola who had lost contact with her husband for a period of six (6) months. But before this, I had to move to South London, very close to PECKHAM (Sister & Brother Olaniran’s residence). There were lots of miracles, sign and wonders and I needed to reach out to more people, still on Mrs. Adeola’s case while praying with her, concerning her missing husband, I did “set time” that if her husband was still in London, someone would see him before the end of the prayer. As God would have it, Sister Olaniran who had gone out saw Mrs. Adeola’s husband and both of them exchanged pleasantries. Mrs. Adeola was overwhelmed for fulfillment of that prophecy because it came unexpectedly (Just within 3 hours) according to the time I set. 

From then on, I began to “set time” for people according to the privilege given to me by the Lord and I became so busy with different people. It was there and then I was nick-named “The Time Setting Pastor” – (“Pastor Ti on da akoko”). 

Mrs. Adeola’s father was the former proprietor of the New Ikeja Grammar School in Abule-Onigbagbo, Ikeja-Lagos State. I paid him a visit when I finally returned to Nigeria. 

General Akinrinade’s younger brother (Bro. B. S. Akinrinade), the choir-master at Christ Apostolic Church SURREY –DOCKS/ SURREY –QUAYS SOUTH BERDMONDSEY, LONDON was an eye witness of Sister Olaniran’s prophecy earlier mentioned. When he related the incidence to his wife, she and two other sisters pleaded that they equally wanted to prophesy and I told them to fast for three days. At the end of three days fasting, I prayed for them and they began to prophesy. What God began to do through my ministry made me to experience crowds of people who were expecting the touch of God on their lives. (You may not have the opportunity to reach me for an encounter, but my God will reach you for He knows your heart desires and He will connect with you: Ezra 3:5 and Exodus 35:5. God loves a cheerful giver. Kindly give cheerfully and graciously to the work of God.)

Still on General Akinrinade younger brother, he had lived in London for 10 years, but did not have a Green-Card (stay) and at that time he needed to visit Nigeria for the wedding of his sister-in-law and if he should travel, his returning back to London might be difficult. When I was informed about his predicament I “set time” for him and his wife so that they could have the Green-Card and also travel down to Nigeria for the wedding. By the grace of God, it came to pass exactly as I said it. They both visited Nigeria for the wedding, I also attended the wedding. The venue of the wedding was at Great Hall, Lagos University Teaching Hospital (LUTH) Idi-Araba area, Mushin, Lagos state. The newly wedded couples, Dr. and Dr. Mrs. Ebhoda by name were both surgeons by profession. 

Mrs. Akinrinade pleaded with me to pay a visit to the couple so as to bless the marriage and to “set time” for them. While praying for them, I did “set time” and prophesied that because I have a set of female twins, they would also give birth to a set of female twins as their first born –it happened exactly. My departure from London was a glorious exit – fleet of cars lined up to convey me and we all left in a convoy to the HEATHROW Airport, London. 

Back home in Nigeria, the rising of my ministry was quite different – there was no mass-evangelism, no open-air crusade or visitation whatsoever. The first set of my church members were majorly connections from London, among them are Pastor Ogun, Brother Afuwape and Pastor Agbolade. 

I left London on 14th August 1992, it was a glorious exit. The Ark of the Ministry was revealed to me, the angels and the Host of Heaven were readily waiting for my departure from London to Nigeria. Although some brethren in London encouraged me to stay back and also made different promises of taking up responsibilities of starting the Ministry over there in London. They even enticed me with the promises of incurring visa for all my children but I refused because what God had instructed me is quite different from their tempting offers. I made a firm decision against their wishes and insisted that “God says, I should leave for home (Nigeria)”. For this reason they sang Hymn No. 83 in Christ Apostolic Church hymn book to send me forth. 

In 1992, we worshipped in a public primary school. Then our services were bit by bit. We made use of Igando Primary School through the assistance of The Late Pa Gold Ogunbewon of blessed memory. In late 1992, a plank church was built, eventually the ministry flagged-off fully in January 1993 at Igando town, Lagos State, Nigeria – West Africa. 

Still in 1993, God instructed me to fast for 42 days with vigil. The major reason for this is to pray for our Nation, Nigeria. The following brethren were with me then – Brother Gideon Shodeinde (my son), Brother Adele Adewusi, Brother Wasiu and Brother Sunday Bamgbose, they were not pastors by then but today, they are pastors in this ministry. 

The solid reason for the long fast and prayers (intercession) was to prevent an imminent war of thirty (30) years which was forthcoming in Nigeria; God in His infinite mercy averted the war after the prayer and fasting which later resulted in the June 12th crises. Afterward, God said, the emergence of JUNE 12th crises was a tip of the ice-berg of an impending war which those intercessions had overruled. Again God said that he has conquered for us, nevertheless, we still continued in prayers. In all of these, no media house was invited to record of events, because I believe in the reward from God. 

Furthermore, while fasting and praying for our nation for peace to prevail – I was instructed by the Lord to send out seven (7) people into seven (7) different cities in the nation (Nigeria) to proclaim a government of liberty in Nigeria that soonest the prevailing situation in Nigeria then shall become a thing of the past and our country shall still be like one of the European countries. The response from Benin City reflected doubt due to different crises which prevailed in Nigeria then. But, glory be to God Almighty for he brought victory for us and He delivered our nation from a battle which could have lasted for 30 years. 

While conducting the prayers (with vigil) and fasting which lasted for 42 days, the Lord responded that “we are over comers and that the war that would have lasted for 30 years had been aborted”. From then on, my major assignment was to make intercessions for Nigeria. 

In 1999, May 29th (at night) shortly after the swearing in of President Olusegun Aremu Obasanjo (not up to 24 hours), the Lord revealed seven angels to me, they descended from heaven and the ground opened up, those angels brought out air conditioners and refrigerators (fridge) from the ground. I wondered at the vision and asked for its interpretation. Then the Lord made me to understand that the vision is to fulfill the former proclamation about the government of liberty. That this government of liberty would begin from the administration of President Olusegun Aremu Obasanjo. The first confirmation and fulfillment to the vision was the introduction of the use of G.S.M. (handset). By this, Nigerians gained much liberty in communication even to overseas countries, while in the room everyone has access to speak with their loved ones overseas, whereas, it was not so before; people had to queue at NITEL’s (Nigerian Telecommunication) office in order to communicate with people in far-away lands. 

Secondly, most government workers were liberated because the minimum wage was reviewed upward. Public school teachers were mostly liberated as they could drive even better cars and live a better life because means of livelihood is improved. What a liberty for teachers! Thirdly, our crude oil competed well in the international market. These, among other types of liberations which Nigerians had are fulfillments of government of liberty. 

Another confirmation of government of liberty is the “The New Face of Lagos State” Governor Raji Fashola has really worked on Lagos State to the extent that Lagos Cities now take the form of some oversea countries. 

In the year 2000, there was a clash between Oodua versus Hausas in Lagos State and it was a bloody clash indeed. The ministry was in preparation of celebration of our maiden JUBILEE, (a part of the ordinances of the call). During this time, we had prayers and fasting for 7 days but the Lord instructed me that, “there must be an addition of 3 days prayers, so that hindrances would be removed from the way”. He said, we should pray for Lagos State. We give all glory to God that the prayers and intercessions calmed that crises, otherwise state of emergency would have been declared on Lagos State. But we celebrated the JUBILEE as all hindrances were removed from our way. 

In January 2002, the church had 7 days prayers for the year as the Lord has commissioned us to pray for the Nation, the church and individual. While the church was in prayer, I was equally on Prayer Mountain, there, God told me to intensify prayers for Lagos State. “I saw people running helter-skelter” In a vision. Then on a Wednesday, The Lord said, “go home quickly and intensify prayers for Lagos State.” So also, on that week’s Sunday morning – Prophet Obadare spoke in a Television Broadcast that prayers should be made for Lagos State against a foreseen doom (even members of the congregation testified to this) that same fateful day – not up to 3 hours after we had prayed seriously in the Sunday Service- there were bomb explosions at Ikeja Cantonment where lives were lost. If there had not been pre-intercessions Lagos State would have totally been destroyed (wiped-off). 

In the process, God also said, I should send a letter to the then Governor of Lagos State, Ashiwaju Bola Ahmed Tinubu, the main content of the letter was for him to fast and pray for 3 days. As we had earlier started 7-day prayer, Governor Tinubu was to join us towards the perfection of those prayers i.e. Fridays to Sunday, he was to make intercessions for his government and pray against turbulence in Lagos State. The Bible text with which he was to pray was also sent to him. I purchased an English/ Yoruba versions of the Bible to accompany the letter. Pa Oyewole was later sent to deliver both the letter and the two Bibles at the State House. 

Pa Oyewole lives in Abaranje via Ikotun, Lagos state. Whether the letter and Bibles were rightly delivered or not, I have performed my duty based on divine instruction- I do not expect rewards from men. 

In May, 29th 2007 –during the handing –over of government form President Olusegun Obasanjo to President Umar Musa Yar’adua –God spoke to me to pray and fast for another 42 days for a peaceful handing over of government from Civilian to Civilian. 

Since then until now we have continuously interceded in prayer and fasting for the country (Nigeria) However, no Media house was invited for record purposes at all because I do believe solely in the rewards from God. “Hitherto had the Lord helped us”!
