After working in a bank for so many years, in 1999 I set up a financial house which eventually crashed. In 2003, I set up a mortgage bank, and by 2004 it crashed. I lost everything I had worked for.
In 2006, a friend brought me here. The first day I entered the tabernacle, the Bishop said, ‘The life of an unbeliever is full of struggles. The life of a believer is full of triumph of faith.’
That same month was the Easter period. During the service, the Bishop declared that when Jesus died on the cross and rose up again for forty days amazing things happened! He said that it didn’t matter how long one’s business had crashed, that business names would be heard again all over the world. These declarations hit me!
I give God all the glory, because my business that crashed in 2002 bounced back to life! Not only that, from 2008 when I was planted in the Lord, I started flourishing on an unprecedented scale! I want to give God the glory because between 2008 till date, the Lord has blessed me tremendously!
My business name is not just heard in Lagos or Port Harcourt where I come from, it is even heard in New York, Atlanta and eastern Texas! Today, I pay my tithe in millions, to the glory of God!”
