Five Letters Of Appointment Via Soul-Winning
“Early this year, the prophet in the house declared this year as our year of ‘Double Portion and Next Levels’. He restated the ‘s’ behind the ‘level,’ ’You shall be changing levels and these will be coming one after the other’.
He said, ‘What you need to do to key into this mandate, if you want to be a partaker, is to position yourself in soul-winning, ingathering and Prayer Reach Project.’
He narrated a story of how he was a teacher and was ministering to pupils, until a church was planted in a community and that the light that is now shinning across the globe, was delivered through that. I keyed into that!
As a lecturer in a university, I meet with nothing less than 500 students in all of the courses I take, from Diploma up to PhD levels. I decided in my heart that I was going to touch the lives of these students.
When I got to the class, I would set aside about three minutes to market the God of this Commission to those students. I would ask them, ‘How many of you have ever been to Winners’ Chapel? How many of you will be ready to join me this next Sunday?’ One by one, these students were following me to church!
As I’m talking right now, I have nothing less than 65 of such students that are planted in this church! As I was busy doing that, the God of Bishop David Oyedepo was also busy decorating me!
I have five different letters of appointments, to prove this morning. The first one that came was my promotion to the position of a Senior Lecturer, which I have been waiting for in the midst of opposition.
The second one was my appointment as the Coordinator of Postgraduate Studies of my department, becoming the youngest lecturer to hold that position.
As I was celebrating that, yet another one came. I was appointed as a Senate member of the universities, one of the highest decision-making body of that institution. I became the youngest individual to be so appointed.
Any time we have senate meeting on the last Wednesday of every month, I see myself seated in the midst of bigwig academia, professors of 20 to 25 years standing. This is a letter to prove it!
As I was celebrating that at my house fellowship, I was appointed by the Vice Chancellor of that same institution as the Camp Commandant for the NUGA Game 2013 that will be holding in Obafemi Awolowo University, Ile Ife later this year, with all benefits and emoluments to match.
Just this last Wednesday, I was at the evening service when the Bishop declared, ‘With your work with God, God will yet daze you with another promotion that you will share your testimony on Sunday.’
Brethren, at the close of work on Friday July 26, 2013, my phone rang and the Dean said that I should meet her in her office. On getting there, another letter was waiting for me from the Office of the Vice Chancellor.
This time around, it was an appointment as the Director and Coordinator of Sandwich Programme in that university, with an official jeep car and a driver to drive me around, for the next two years. I give glory to the God of this Commission!”
- Joseph, A.
