YOU ARE NOT INDISPENSABLE.

His name was Richard, and he was powerfully used by God in signs, wonders, and miracles. He worked with another man of God, RB, who really owned the ministry. However, because RB recognized the gifts and grace on Richard, he would preach during meetings, then step down for Richard to take over.

Then it happened…

Introvert. Perfectionist. Sanguine. Writer. Melancholic. Preacher.

Labels. I understand them, but I dislike them – and I’m not just talking about the negative ones.

Some years ago, I was being interviewed for a job, and the interviewer asked about my personality type…

You don’t need more spiritual power. Or fire.
You need more tarrying capacity: The ability to stay in his presence until you are “endued with power” – and fire naturally falls.

You don’t need more money.
You need more earning and learning capacity. (Click on the image to read more.)

Growing up, we used to attend a certain church. It wasn’t as large as it is now, but it was still quite known globally – to an extent.

A family member was a major leader there, and was very close to the Head pastor.

Then stuff happened. Politics, lies, manipulation came in and the family member left.

My parents who were leaders in the church were also unfairly stripped of their positions, simply because of their connection and personal convictions.

A young lad was brought to stay with us. His English was really bad. He could barely hear or speak the language.

When I spoke to him, I tried to speak slowly and in broken (Nigerian pidgin English) so he could understand me.

I started, “Wetin be your…?”

Immediately, my mum interrupted me sharply. “No.”

Without the title of ‘King’, the fig tree was producing figs, the vine trees wine, and the olive tree oil. They were still being sought out – and a blessing to God and man.
The title did not determine their productivity.
