In
1972, I was employed by Engr. Ekpo who owned an electric company that had the contract
for the electrification of the whole of Cross River State, part of which is now
Akwa Ibom. The company had money and we were well-paid. However, God asked me
to resign and live in Uyo.
I
had been getting invitations to speak at meetings in Uyo so during one of those
meetings, it threatened to rain, and I told the crowd that if God called me to
preach here, he would stop the rain now and instantly the rain stopped.
The
day I finally packed my things to move to Uyo, I met a man at the motor-park (I
didn't know him before) who said that God instructed him to wait at the park
for me and lead me to an accommodation he had kept for me. Three days later, a
woman saw me and told me that God asked her to give me 3 plots of land. The
small boy I was then, what was I going to do with 3 plots of land?
A
lady pharmacist saw me and told me that God asked her to buy me a car. She gave
me a Union Bank cheque to buy a car. I was not yet quite a month and all these
favour followed me.
We
started holding 'Greater Uyo for Christ' every month, praying and asking God to
turn this place to a great place. I prayed to God that if He sent me here, He
should turn it into a great place. Everywhere we went, people met us and said
God asked them to give us money, food items, etc.
I
was once called to pray for a little boy who was crippled after which he
walked. The governor at the time wanted to meet me. We held the first Ukanafun
Local Government Area Crusade. The miracles were so many that they said I was a
magician. God then directed me to take this programme to all the Local
Government Areas.
The
Government sent for me and issued me a plot of land to be paid for over 20
years, saying that because I led him to Christ l, he can't be Governor of a
state and allow me rain anybody's tenant.
Somebody
called and said, God asked him to give me a large sum of money for my sons who
want to build churches. Another said he was instructed to give me N10 million
per year and that he has already paid 3 years upfront into my account. Another
sent me four jeeps after the largest pharmaceutical company in the world made
him a distributor. Another sent me a jeep from Malaysia.
Why God choose Uyo, I don't know. The prayer investment we made
in Uyo is what has helped take Uyo to where it is today. I have seen the
impossible since I came here. It has been a story of miracle after miracle. We
have seen God do the impossible.
