Dedication

To all those like me who have


failed God, failed men and failed
themselves severally. If you are
holding this book now, it means
that your story is not over yet.

iv
As you are holding this book,
there is a 24-hour chain prayer
going on for you.

You will never end this journey in


shame!

THIS IS WHY I CRY ANYTIME I REMEMBER MY LATE FATHER

H e saw me carrying Indian hemp. He saw me


carrying guns. He saw me carrying charms,
alcohol and women. But he did not live to see
me carry the power of God. Why will I not cry?

I have lost count of how many times the police


apprehended him because of me. He was embarrassed
in the neighbourhood severally all because of me.
Sometimes, as a pastor that he was, when he goes out
to preach to people, they would insult him and tell him:

“Mr. Man, go first to preach to that your last born before


preaching to us…” And in that shame, he will come
back.

At such young age, I was already known in many of the


renowned gangs around the neighbourhood and was
famous among some of the well-known police
stations. I was suspended in some schools and
expelled in others. Almost every new academic
session, my father would have to take me from one
new school to the other, to beg them to re-admit me
and sometimes, they would embarrass him out of their
offices, abusing him to go home and train his child very

01
T H I S I S W H Y I C RY A N Y T I M E I R E M E M B E R M Y L AT E FAT H E R
well.
Sometimes, on our way back, he would shed tears. In
his usual way, he will tell me: “Ikedi, are you enjoying
how they are embarrassing me? How many more times
will they insult me because of you before you?” Tears
would roll down his cheeks. (Battling with tears here)

But then, those tears he used to shed never moved me.


I was heading to certain doom, yet, I thought
everybody was trying to stop me from living my life. All
because 'he hath shut their eyes that they cannot see
and their hearts that they cannot understand'. (Isaiah
44:16)

Among all my siblings in Nigeria, I was the only one


who was not around his bed the day he died. I was in a
'far country', living a riotous life. Before he died, he
called the names of nine of my elder siblings, held their
hands and blessed them, waiting for me to come, so
that he would bless me too. But I didn't show up.

When he waited and I didn't come, he told those who


were around this concerning me:

“Satan is using him now, but very soon, God will take
over from Satan… And the whole world will see what
God will use him to do in his generation… As his name
goes Ikedichi, meaning: (God is powerful) the world will
see that God has power…”

It was not long, on that Sunday morning, while singing


a song, he died. And many years after, I am no more
carrying guns; many years after, I no more carry

02
HARLOTS ON FIRE
women. I no more carry Indian Hemp and charms. But
now that I am carrying a Bible, where is my father?
When he was alive, parents used to warn their children
not get close to me, so that I don't teach them bad
things. But now that he has died, parents are now
bringing their children to me, to teach them the ways of
the Lord. When he was alive, I was heading to hell and
everybody knew it. But now that he has died, hell is
losing occupants because of me daily.

These same hands that carried demonic sacrifices for


Satan are now carrying the Power of God; the same
hands that shot guns are now carrying God's end time
Fire. To the glory of God, these hands have healed
different sicknesses; HIV, fibroid and all manner of
diseases have died by these hands. Men and women,
boys and girls have shaken these hands, and to the
glory of God, they caught the Fire and went back to set
their families, communities, campuses on Fire.

But where is my father now to see what God is doing


with his last born? Where is he to see that his last
words on his dying bed concerning me are playing out
now? Lord, I am in tears here! Please, Papa, where are
you?

While in the streets, severally, I saw the spirit of death


walk pass me to kill others. I saw bullets fired at me,
miss me to hit others. I escaped graves dug to bury me
alive, and someone else was thrown in and was buried
alive. Till today, I am surprised why I survived things
many others could not survive.

03
T H I S I S W H Y I C RY A N Y T I M E I R E M E M B E R M Y L AT E FAT H E R
Friends, please, help me tell those who are saying that
we are not doing well in life, that they don't understand
where we are coming from. They say that God is not
helping us because we have not started using police
escort everywhere. They say that if God is with us, why
have we not started controlling the crowd in our
churches? Why are we still struggling financially in
missionary fields? Please, help me tell them that God
has helped us.

Don't judge us by where we are. There is a place we are


coming from. If you have arrived, congratulations! But
pray for us and don't laugh at us yet. This is not the end
of our story. We did not enter ministry because of
glamour. Nobody promised us money or fame before
we entered this work. If you know where God brought
us out from, you will know that we have gone too far
from where we were.

The wealth will come. But whether they come now or


later or even never, we have been already sold out. And
the only option we have is forward ever. We may not
have preached on TBN, but we have preached at village
market squares. We may not have preached in the
biggest churches in town, but we have been privileged
to preach in morning cries every early morning and
inside commercial buses. We may not have started
hanging out with the most popular men and women in
our time. But, we have been hanging out with the Holy
Ghost and Jesus is enough for us.

Sometimes, on the phone, when she was still alive, my


mum would call me, shedding tears of joy. When she
sees what God is making out of me today, she would

04
HARLOTS ON FIRE
cry, saying: “I wish your father is alive now to see what
God is doing through you…”
It breaks my heart too, but I know that he has joined
the cloud of witnesses in Hebrew 12. I know he is
seeing everything I am doing now. I know he sees me
while I minister in the churches where I am invited. I
know he is proud seeing me in the mission field with
poor and rejected boys and girls who have left voodoo
to follow Jesus.

I know my late father is happy that I have dropped


guns and I am now carrying the Power of God.
Sometimes, I imagine that he would call Apostle Peter,
and tell him:….” … That's my boy healing the sick there!
”Halleluya!

Brother, that God who saved me has not died. Can you
please ask Him to touch you? Don't wait till your
parents breathe their last before you surrender to God.
Don't wait till they die before you begin to align with
the spirit of the prophecies over your head. I wish I
knew I would have repented earlier than I did, so that
my late father will see with his eyes what I am
becoming today.

Many people are waiting for you to make them proud.


Some people believe in you even more than you believe
in yourself. Don't disappoint them. Don't be afraid of
where to start from. Forget about the debts you owe
here and there. God will find a way for you to settle it.
Don't bother about what your fellow cultists will say
when they hear that Christ has saved you. Don't think

05
T H I S I S W H Y I C RY A N Y T I M E I R E M E M B E R M Y L AT E FAT H E R
about what to eat when you stop prostitution. Don't be
afraid of losing the guy when you stop fornicating with
him.
Just make a decision to surrender to God from
somewhere you are and let it be now. That God that
showed up in my life will also show up in your life in
Jesus' name! I am very sure that I will hear your
testimony soon in Jesus' name.
Let us pray!

THE FIRST DAY I SAW LATE ARCH BISHOP BENSON IDAHOSA IN
THE DREAM WAS THE DAY MY GIRLFRIEND WENT TO SLEEP WITH
ANOTHER MAN

T his happened in 2006. The 9th of September


was my birthday and everybody was calling to
wish me a happy birthday. But I was only
expecting her call. When I called later in the day, a man
picked it and told me the owner of the phone was
sleeping. That I could call back the next day.

That night, I could not sleep. The next morning, I


started calling her phone again. Yet, she kept'busying'
my calls. God knows I was suicidal. This was the same
lady with whom I shared my marital dreams as I
listened to hers, the last time we saw. Even my mum
and some of my siblings, nieces and nephews knew
her.

We were just waiting to be through with the university


so that we would settle down. How could she forget my
birthday? And what was a man doing with her phone at
that time of the night? I called and called but nobody
picked the calls anymore until later in the morning.
She finally picked the call and told me that the person
that picked the call was her boyfriend. She didn't know
how to tell me all the while because I was still a

07
T H E F I R S T D AY I S AW L AT E A R C H B I S H O P B E N S O N I D A H O S A
studentand she needed someone that she could be
'more sure of'.

She added, to my sheer horror, that I should just find a


way to get over it because she had found someone else
that had everything she needed in a man. And there
was nothing that could be done about it because they
both loved each other.

I didn't know whether to cry or shout. All I could


muster the energy to do was call her name. In a
desperate plea, as if for life, I groaned: "You can't do this
to me... It is not true... It is not true…I love you… Please,
let's see and talk about it. Please, I love you! Don't do this
to me!"

She hung the phone up on me and that was the end. I


kept calling but she never picked again. Next day, I sent
tons and tons of messages, begging her to come back to
me but got no reply. Next, I started begging her with
more messages to remember how many children we
planned to have; how we planned to do this and that. I
even reminded her of all the names we wished to give
the seven children we planned to have. Yet, no reply.

I was heartbroken. I had been heartbroken before then


but none of those experiences were as painful as this
one. I had never seen such a thing before or after. I
didn't know what to do. Food became tasteless and
water became tasty. The air I was breathing in became
both cold and very hot at the same time. I rushed back
to my village where I would have enough time to cry
without disturbance.
08
HARLOTS ON FIRE
Prior to that episode of heart break, I had already
joined some of my friends to mock one of us who was
recently heartbroken, without knowing that mine was
on the way. Now it was my turn and I couldn't stand to
watch them mock me back. That was why I did the
most reasonable thing I felt could do: abandon school
and travel back to the village. I took along with me the
C.D of Lionel Richie and kept playing the track,'To love
a woman'which featured Enrique Iglesias. At home, it
was on repeat. I locked myself inside and played the
song morningafter morning.

Memories rolled in and out; tears flowed freely. My


mother came and asked me why I rushed back while
my mates were in school but I didn't know what to tell
her. She left and then came back later to ask why I was
repeatedly playing that particular song. She asked if
that was the song that was trending in school. I could
not tell her anything. Anytime the song got to the
chorus, I would burst into tears.

"Will she love you tomorrow like she loves you today?
She can keep your heart guessing but she's yours if she
stays. And that's what it feels like… To love a woman..."

That is the chorus of the song.

I felt empty. As the song played, the feeling of


emptiness intensified. That girl was the only thing that
meant everything to me. She understood me more
than anyone I had dated in the past. We felt so
compatible in everything, a day without her was not
just possible. I was gradually dying. But on that night of

09
T H E F I R S T D AY I S AW L AT E A R C H B I S H O P B E N S O N I D A H O S A
11th of September, I don't know how it happened, but a
fresh burden for prayer came upon me.

I was just a struggling born again with wobbly feet in


many areas. But that day, even though it was two days
past my birthday already, I began to pray. I cried to God
to please give me my birthday gift by Himself, that I
could not take the pains any longer. I rationalized that
since the only lady I loved had broken my heart and
gone off to be with another man on my birthday, He
should mend my heart.

Friend, if you have never been heartbroken before,do


not be quick to mock someone else suffering from a
heartbreak. It is a time of your life when,although
healthy, you wouldlook sick. Everything reminds you
of your pains; compliments sound like curses in your
ears and you would want to complain to everybody
about how you did not deserve the ill treatment.

I thought I was a strong man until it hit me. Thank God


none of my friends were around. They would have
made a mockery of me if they had seen what I was
doing with the girl's picture every night. My brother,
there are some things some of us have done out of love
that is best left with us. If not, if people hear it, they will
call it a psychiatric case. (Smiles)

One of those midnights when I was losing it, suddenly, I


saw Late Archbishop Benson Idahosa enter my room
accompanied by a great light. I was scared because I
had never seen such a thing in my life. That moment

10
HARLOTS ON FIRE
looked like a movie scene, but the more it lasted, the
more it seemed real as he got closer. He tapped me and
I woke up. And He said:

"Young man, stop crying...”

As I was struggling to place his identity, he said to me:


"I am Benson Idahosa. Save your tears over your
girlfriend. Today (11th September) is my birthday and
nobody cries on my birthday unless you are crying for
souls. There is a cause to shed those tears for in your
generation...And God sent me to tell you that you have
been separated for a revival assignment in your
generation... Start getting prepared to be mightily used
of God in the coming world revival...”

As I was trying to ask him a lot of questions at the same


time, he said to me: "Bring your bible. Read Isaiah
58:12.” As I stood up and entered my mum's room to
get her bible, on coming back, he had disappeared. The
room got dark again and fear gripped me. I began to
shiver literally. When I finally read the passage of the
scripture, it said:

"And they that shall be of thee shall build the old waste
places: thou shall raise up the foundations of many
generations; and thou shall be called The repairer of the
breach, The restorer of paths to dwell in...”

Friends, I began to think about what I saw. I had only


read books and heard stories about the late
Archbishop Benson Idahosa: how he raised several
dead people when he was alive and how he single-

11
T H E F I R S T D AY I S AW L AT E A R C H B I S H O P B E N S O N I D A H O S A
handedly stopped witches from all over the world
from having their international meeting in his home
town, Benin City, Nigeria. Seeing him in that dream
opened me up to many more visions.

That encounter got me so busy that I forgot the


heartbreak that I just had. From that time till now, it
didn't bother me again that my girlfriend abandoned
me for another man on my birthday. I didn't miss her
anymore. The pains disappeared and a fresh air,
brought by a new purpose for living enveloped my life.

That was how my journey into this revival cry began.


Suddenly, every night, God would open my eyes and
show me millions of people going from churches to
hell fire. Sometimes, my eyes would be wide open and
God would show me many people inside valleys,
looking confused, not knowing which place to go to.
And I will hear a voice, saying to me: "These are people
in the valley of decision that must not be left to perish."

Every night, late Papa Idahosa would come and tell me


the names of books to read. Sometimes he would come
with my late dad and several men of God who have died
long ago. It was later when I read the book called GOD'S
GENERALS that I saw the names of some of the people
he used to come to visit me with. Each time he
introduced any of them to me, he would say:

“This is (so and so)... God wants to use you more than the
way He used us. That is why we came to encourage
you…”

12
HARLOTS ON FIRE
After each encounter, my body would be full of sweat
and tears. They were deep encounters I couldn't write
down, no matter how much I tried. My life became so
busy with my new-found assignment on earth that I
didn't remember the heartbreak anymore. Nobody
alive anywhere saw me in the months of September,
October, November of 2006 apart from my mum and
the little girl staying with her. I was in my father's
house sleeping and waking up with encounters.

Remember that I ran to the house to stay for a few days


so as to get over the heartbreak. But I ended up staying
in the house for three months without stepping out of
the gate. Each day had its fresh encounter. Few months
later, my ex started telling people that I didn't love her
deep enough to fight to have her back. She added that if
I really loved her, I would have fought and waited to see
if she would change her mind or if she was just pulling
my legs. God knows I still loved her even after the
relationship ended, but I only laughed when I heard
those things she was saying. I understood her, though,
because she couldn't imagine how I could have gotten
over her within only two nights of dumping me for
another person.

I didn't call or text and I didn't call any of her friends to


help me beg her to come back to me. It really seemed
like I wasn't serious enough to have her back but the
truth was that God got me so busy with encounters
that I was hardly aware whether it was day or night. No
mortal will have such encounters that I had at that
period and still remember any pains inflicted by a

13
T H E F I R S T D AY I S AW L AT E A R C H B I S H O P B E N S O N I D A H O S A
fellow mortal. Whether it is heartbreak or 'headbreak',
it was not by might, nor by power, but 'by my spirit saith
the Lord of hosts'. (Smiles)

Today, everything God told me in those days are


playing out before my very eyes. I have seen my life go
from one phase to the other, exactly the way God spoke
to me through late Archbishop Benson Idahosa.

Encounter is magical. Nothing confers value on men


more than encounters. It makes men mighty. We don't
have forever to be alive. God doesn't expect us to sit
somewhere crying over spilled milk. He wants us to
convert every pain into purpose because He knows
that there is power inside every bitterness.

If that girl did not break my heart, I would not have met
God. If I had not met God that time, I would have been
merely existing in one part of the world today, emitting
nuisance to a particular unfortunate neighborhood.
But an encounter from the Lord changed my life. If
Esau did not threaten to destroy Jacob, Jacob would
not have been left alone. And if he had not been left
alone, he would not have had an encounter with an
angel that changed his life.

Our generation organizes fire conferences. We have


fire preachers and fire gospel singers. But we don't
have encounters. We have not met with God in unusual
ways yet. That is why we don't have anything burning
in our hearts for the Master. That is why they are
begging us to come to church and if we stay for a few
14
HARLOTS ON FIRE
weeks and don't see miracles, we run away.

Our lives are filled with men and women who are not
supposed to be there. That is why God cannot show up.
A generation without encounter must be cheap,
because it is only encounters that can place a seal of
distinction on it.

Don't blame some people for taking some decisions


that made you cry. Yes, it was painful and they were
heartless. It brought shame and made you lose
customers or members. But there is an encounter
buried in those tears you are shedding. One encounter
changed Jacob and gave him an inheritance. One
encounter brought fulfillment to all the prophecies
hanging over his head. That can be your story too.

You don't need revenge. You don't need to start


explaining to mortal men that you didn't do anything
before she dumped you and went for another man
after all you did for her. You don't even need to start
calling his friends and family to explain and to spoil her
name. Don't go to social media to start fighting him
with your posts. You don't even need a 'better' man so
that you will use it as testimony to taunt him. All you
need is an encounter.

If you love yourself and care about where God is taking


you, tell Him to take away any man or woman that is
blocking Him from giving you an encounter that will
unveil to you the reason for your living. Tell him to
'break' your heart and let you cry, if that is the price
15
T H E F I R S T D AY I S AW L AT E A R C H B I S H O P B E N S O N I D A H O S A
that will be required to have an encounter that will add
value to your life on earth. You need love, but you need
an encounter more than you need the love.

The book WhyRevivalTarrieswritten by Leonard


Ravenhill is the book that I read and it put me on the
path that I am now. It was late Benson Idahosa that
came to that room, gave me the name of that book (and
the author) and asked me to look for the book to read.

I had never seen the book nor heard the name of the
author anywhere before, but after one of those
encounters, some months after, I saw the book in the
shelf of my in-law at Aba and I got it and read it. To the
glory of God, if there is anything I am becoming today, it
is that book that God used to stir my heart towards
Him. It all started with the encounter I had on those
nightsafter my girlfriend broke my heart.

Stop crying for love. Cry for an encounter. Stop praying


for revenge. Pray to have an encounter. There is an
encounter God will give you and you will forget that
they broke your heart. You don't need a wedding ring
to use to get back at them. You need a divine visitation.
An encounter can come from that loneliness. There
might be an encounter waiting in that unemployment.

I am only talking to those that want to add value to


their lives on earth. When you listen to two men, it will
not be hard to know the one that did not have any
encounter. Some are on Facebook looking for who to
taunt with their engagement rings while some have

16
HARLOTS ON FIRE
run away to unknown places in search of an encounter.
When they finally find what they are looking for, the
narratives will see them and change.

Please, believe me: this generation can never take you


seriously if you are not coming from the mountain of
encounters. You might not be a preacher, but when God
gives you an encounter, preachers will be looking for
you.

God forbid that you end your life on this earth as a


spectator in this coming worldwide revival. May you
not be among those people that will be bragging with
ephemeral things while others are digging into God for
deeper things. You are not the only one to have gotten
married. While trusting God to be happily married,
also cry to God for an encounter. After marriage, what
else will this generation know you for?

If having a good job is the only good thing people see


around you, then, your destiny is so cheap. Deep only
calls to the deep. It is encounters that make your life
deep. Stop celebrating what everybody has access to.
Go for encounters. Imagine being happily married and
also well employed after God has furnished your life
with encounters.

Don't let people, whose sole desire is the acquisition of


wedding rings and visas, make you settle for a cheap
life on earth. In the place of encounters, value is
conferred on men. When next you kneel to pray, ask
God to visit you and tell you things that will

17
T H E F I R S T D AY I S AW L AT E A R C H B I S H O P B E N S O N I D A H O S A
differentiate you from all of us who are the members of
your generation. Cry to Him to show you what to show
your generation.

There are things He will show you and you will become
a public show in your generation. Why will you keep
crying because a man left your life? Sister, please, go for
encounter. Why are you so idle to be going online and
everywhere spoiling the names of the lady that jilted
you? It means you don't have an encounter yet. There
is something God will show you and you will realize
that you have been a child all these years you have been
fighting your ex.

When you see a man keeping grudges and polishing


memories of ancient offences, know that you are
seeing a man that lacks current encounters. It doesn't
take long to know a man that has not seen God for a
long time. What differentiated Jacob and Esau was an
encounter. The same Isaac that blessed Jacob blessed
Esau, but Jacob was a man that understood the
economy of God. He knew that no man who encounters
God remains in the crowd. That was why he pressed
more.

The bible said,“God found him in a desert land, and in


the waste howling wilderness; he led him about, he
instructed him, he kept him as the apple of his eyes.”
(Deuteronomy 32:10)No wonder we are still
celebrating him till today.

Just one day of encounter is enough to last you a

18
HARLOTS ON FIRE
lifetime. It was just a one-day encounter and a
fraudster was turned into the joy of many generations.
Who said God cannot help you in that weakness you
are battling with? Can you cry to God now for an
encounter that will change your spiritual identity? Are
you ready for it this week?

Then, let us pray!

THIS IS THE MISTAKE MY LATE PARENTS MADE THAT
MADE THEM TO USE ME TO PAY TITHE TO GOD

W hen mum got pregnant with me, they told


her to abort me. How could she have gotten
pregnant again, after giving birth to nine
living children when she knew there was no money?

Married to a missionary pastor with little or no salary


every month, how could she have gotten pregnant
again? The pressure was so much that my mum started
avoiding going to certain places. She stopped visiting
places she knew they will mock her with the
pregnancy.Some people boldly told my dad that they
would stop assisting him financially if thepregnancy
was not terminated.

My dad explained to them that it was a mistake. But


they didn't see anything wrong with flushing me away
since the pregnancy was unwanted. And they meant it.
They withdrew from my family.

When I was born, many people didn't want to get close.


Some were coming to take a look at the unwanted
child, because I was always sickly and always looked
unhealthy and because of that, nobody wanted to
touch me.My heartfelt gratitude goes to my elder ones
20
THIS I S T HE M ISTAKE M Y L ATE P ARENTS M ADE T HAT M ADE T HEM T O U SE M E T O P AY T ITHE T O G OD
who were always doing their best to make me look fine
in those trying times.

When my mum goes to farm, my dad leaves for church


work, some of them will have to cancel their personal
engagements so as to look after me. My birth made a
few helpers to abandon my family. But something was
underway which eyes could not see it.One day I was
really sick and there was no money anywhere to buy
any drug. Nobody knew I was going to survive the next
five minutes. My body had gone cold; my pupils
retracted high up my eyelids. In that desperate
moment, my mother took me to the altar of the church,
dropped me there and told God:

"Lord, if he will die, let him die on your altar...But if you


will let him live, Lord, I use him as a sacrifice… And I use
him to pay tithe out of my ten children...Throughout the
remaining days of his life, he will live on the altar... He
will do nothing else and succeed if it is not your work...
Even if he grows up and choose another way, frustrate
him until he comes back to do your work..."

According to my mum, she slept off by my side on that


cemented altar. Before she woke up, I was no more
groaning in that deep pain. I was awake and kicking my
legs with a bright facial expression. My father didn't
know where my mum went to. Nobody else knew, but
all they saw was that she came back with me, not dead,
but alive. No more sickbut very healthy. Halleluiah!

She had dropped me at the altar and tied my future


21
HARLOTS ON FIRE
around a covenant and immediately, the God of the
altar came and touched me. That was when my father
looked at the miracle of my health's restoration and
said:"I have seen that truly, God is powerful, according
to your name 'Ikedichi(God is powerful). And God will
surely use you to show His power to your generation.”
Friend, that was how the history of sickness ended and
a new page of my life of power began.

As a child, they used to carry me to hospitals and as I


laid hands on sick people, they would be healed
instantly. When my parents headed for evangelism,
they would take me along. As they preached to the
adults, they would gather children of my age and put
me on top of a pavement and I would stand there to
preach to the kids. After preaching to them, I would lay
hands on them and some of them that were sick would
be instantly healed.

I know several barren women who conceived after my


parents carried me to their houses and I prayed for
them. Though I was less than four years but the power
of God was manifesting in my life. My siblings can tell
the story more. Even when Satan hijacked me at my
teenage period and native doctors' shrines became my
second home; even when guns and charms were my
closest devices, many times, even native doctors
would see me inside their shrines and say to me:

"What are you doing inside this bush with us? Your type
is too big to come here...If we had what you have, we
won't be inside this shrine..."

22
THIS I S T HE M ISTAKE M Y L ATE P ARENTS M ADE T HAT M ADE T HEM T O U SE M E T O P AY T ITHE T O G OD
Even when my friends died of gunshots and some
people were expecting me to be the next, somehow,
mercy SAID,'NO!' Today, that child that was called a
mistake is being used by God to intercept many who
are on their way to hell. That child is being used by God
to interrupt the satanic onslaught against this
generation. That same child that was unwanted; that
sickly child; that child that would have been flushed
away, God is using that child to His glory alone.

Though my father died when I was still in a far country,


wasting in the streets, he saw it coming. On his dying
bed, while blessing all nine of my siblings, when he got
to my turn, since I was the only one absent, he told
them:

"Don't mind what Satan is doing with him now, soon,


God will take over... and as his name goes, Ikedichi; (God
has power) the world will know that truly God is
powerful...”

Although who I was then and what he was


prophesying about my future didn't look alike, in the
fullness of time, heaven came for me and to the shame
of hell, those prophecies began to find expression.
Whatever made me live long enough till the day I
encountered Jesus, I can't tell till today. But gradually,
we have been growing from grace to grace.

It has not been a smooth ride to where I am now.


Severally, I have failed. Many times, I have
compromised. I have seen discouragements. I have

23
HARLOTS ON FIRE
made mistakes. But anytime I want to withdraw, I keep
hearing God telling me:
“Remember that you are a mistake that I converted into
a testimony... If I can use the mistake of your parents to
make great things out of you, why can't you trust Me to
use your mistakes to do greater things again?"

Friend, with tears in my eyes, I beg you; it is time to run


back to Jesus. For you to be alive today means that God
is still interested in your story. If God has lost hope on
you, He would have let you die. That you woke up this
morning means He wants you to cry back to Him, in
total surrender. He allowed you to see today, expecting
that you will hand your life over to Him. He knows
what He wants to do with you. There is a message
coming from that mistake you made that will cause a
swift revival in our time. Are you ready to let Him take
over?

I don't know that big error you made that is haunting


your life. I don't know the one threatening your
marriage or ministry. I speak peace into your troubled
soul now. I hear Him say: "Be still and know that I am
God..."

My mum made a mistake of getting pregnant again


after having nine children, but she took her 'mistake' to
the altar and handed it over to God. Today, all the hosts
of hell are suffering from that 'mistake' called
IykeOriaku. I have gone to preach in some places and
the kingdom of darkness sent their best agents to
make sure they frustrate the program and get me
24
THIS I S T HE M ISTAKE M Y L ATE P ARENTS M ADE T HAT M ADE T HEM T O U SE M E T O P AY T ITHE T O G OD
killed.

I have been air-bound and hell came to cause problems


in the engine. A few minutes after take-off, the pilot
announced that the engine was having issues
andeveryone should start praying to his or her God.
Immediately, Satan told me: “Now, I have finally caught
you. Let me see how you will escape this plane crash.”I
was so scared but immediately, I heard the voice of God
say to me: “If I preserved you from your mother's
womb till now, I will preserve you even here.” And it
was not up to three minutes, to the glory of God, that
the turbulence in the plane's engines subsided!

After listening to our radio program on Love FM Port


Harcourt, a man called me and told me he was just
heading off to use his mum for money rituals, that
Sunday morning, before he heard my message on the
radio. His friends and the native doctors were still
waiting for him to meet them somewhere when he
called me on the phone, crying, begging me to
reconcile him back to God. Till today, he is on fire for
God and God has removed that financial shame that
made him want to use his mother for money rituals.
Why will Satan not be angry with this mistake called
IykeOriaku?

At one of the Assemblies of God churches in Lagos


State, Nigeria, Ishashi 2, under the pastoral care of Rev.
Dr.ChukwuemekaAdiele, I went with my team for a
revival. On the second day, a young man came out as
one of those that gave their lives to Christ. I offered to

25
HARLOTS ON FIRE
shake his hands to congratulate him for coming out to
surrender to Jesus but as his hand touched mine, he
began to scream,'Fire! fire!! fire!!!’

He made as if to fall backwards on the ground. It took


about six men to hold him as he was aggressively
shouting, making animal noises and begging me to
leave his hand. After his deliverance, he came the next
day and testified about how he was sent from the
kingdom of darkness to come and destroy me while I
was on the pulpit preaching. But to the glory of God,
they met a resistance provided by the Fire of God.

If my life is not a threat to the kingdom of darkness, he


would not be having sleepless nights, scheming over
how to stop me. My heartfelt thanks goes to everyone
praying for me, but I need even more prayers because
the assignment is big and hell has a lot to pay for.
Satanic programs over our generation must be
terminated. It is a choice I have made; it is not in my
time that parents who spend and are spenting
rooming their children will also bury these same
children.

I cry when I see teenagers and youths into many


practices that will do nothing else but cut their lives
short. Who will take care of their parents at old age if
they kill themselves today while practicing cultism
and other horrendous activities? For this burden, I
have written six books which I had to give to every
teenager and youth, free, even when we (in the office)
had no money to feed. We were busy using the little

26
THIS I S T HE M ISTAKE M Y L ATE P ARENTS M ADE T HAT M ADE T HEM T O U SE M E T O P AY T ITHE T O G OD
money God provided to ship books to different parts of
the world. And to the glory of God, testimonies are
flowing in about the myriads of youths who are making
eternal decisions after reading the books. Lives are
being saved into the kingdom!

People mock me for using the money I should use to


live a 'better' life to print books and give them out free
to people whom I don't know. But they don't
understand where I am coming from. I have no other
assignment that to see hell cry and already, I am ready
for whatever that will cost. Before my mum died, she
saw with her eyes that everything my late dad said
about me on his dying bed is coming to pass.She saw
the schools, churches, fellowships and individuals
whom God has set ablaze for Himself, using me.

While she was in the U.S, many people used to call to


thank her for giving birth to a child, Iyke, her last born,
whom God used to stir them back to the path of
righteousness.Back home, many ministries celebrated
her for being the mother of the young man, IykeOriaku,
who God has used to do great things.

A brothel lost all their strip dancers and got shut down
because someone gave one of the prostitutes there a
copy of my first book,Imagine A World Without You!
She read it, and encountered God in the night. She
woke up and became an evangelist in the same hotel
she has lived and danced naked in for years; went from
room to room preaching to other ladies and they
surrendered to Jesus.

27
HARLOTS ON FIRE
When all the 'hot' girls there repented, left the hotel
and went back to their houses in repentance, the hotel
began to lose customers until it folded. And till today,
there is no trace of that hotel anywhere in the world.

In faraway Libya, a zealous Muslim crusader, a former


Christian that converted to Islam, started an Islamic
Evangelistic Campaign under the sponsorship of late
Libyan President, Gaddafi, going from nation to nation,
preaching against Jesus with several published books
talking against Jesus. Down here in Nigeria, inside a
motor park at I.T.C, Owerri, where I was preaching, I
gave a young man a copy of the book, Imagine A World
Without You free of charge and he refused. I had to beg
him to take it from me. He told me to give it to another
person because he wouldn't read it. I insisted on him
taking it and he did.

He got back home and dropped it carelessly and his


brother that had converted to Islam who came back
from Libya after many years saw the book in their
house and took it back to Libya and started reading it.
To the glory of God, he called me from Libya in tears,
telling me how he encountered Jesus while reading the
book. Jesus appeared to him and showed him His
wounds and he woke up crying.

From that day, he began to preach about Jesus. His wife


became his first convert. Before his eyes, they killed his
wife and he too was also ready to be killed in the
defense of Jesus. But when an opportunity
miraculously presented itself, he escaped with his
28
THIS I S T HE M ISTAKE M Y L ATE P ARENTS M ADE T HAT M ADE T HEM T O U SE M E T O P AY T ITHE T O G OD
two-year-old daughter.But he came back with a
burden to take Jesus to Muslim communities and
before my eyes, I watched him go from place to place,
preaching to any Muslim insight and God used him
greatly to convert them to Christ.

To the glory of God, all that started from just one


book,'Imagine A World Without You' written by
IykeOriaku: the same child that came by mistake.

The book: 'Give Me Fire Or I Die!' entered a hotel in


Warri, Nigeria and two ladies read it and Jesus came
into that hotel room that same night and gave them an
encounter that turned them into evangelists the next
day. That was the last day they sold their bodies for sex.
With tears, they began to preach to others to repent
and accept Jesus. That was the last day anyone saw
them close to any hotel again. Today, they are burning
for Jesus.

A young man of God having read the same book,'Give


Me Fire Or I Die!' and was so full of the Holy Ghost that
he entered a public transportation and the evil man
sitting close to him relocated. The fire on him was so
much that the man could not stay inside the bus. He
began to beg the driver to stop to enable him alight
from the vehicle!

A young girl came back from one of our conferences


with the fire and got back to her father's house and
started blasting in tongues everywhere and anyhow.
She did it for some days and the old woman living close

29
HARLOTS ON FIRE
to them called her parents, telling them to warn their
daughter to stop dragging that territory with her if she
does not want trouble.

The parents were confused how an 11-year-old girl


would engage in such with an aged woman. When they
asked the girl, she told them that she was not dragging
anything with the woman. She explained that all that
she had been doing since she came back from the
conference was blasting in tongues, declaring that any
other power that is not from God operating should
stop because she had come to take charge.

The parents told her that if that's all she had been
doing, then she should continue. And she continued. It
was not up to one week that the old woman was
paralyzed and in less than one month, she died.

The moment she died, in less than three months, two of


her unmarried elder sisters had their traditional
introductions and one had her wedding. The moment
the old woman went out of the way, financial and
marital embargos were broken over that family. Even
before she died, she confessed about how she had been
the one caging the progress of men and women in that
territory. It started when a girl attended a conference
where I ministered and caught the fire and went back
home to burn for Jesus; the same Iyke that was termed
as a mistake.

Lord, our generation has made many mistakes. It is


time to start converting these mistakes to miracles!

30
THIS I S T HE M ISTAKE M Y L ATE P ARENTS M ADE T HAT M ADE T HEM T O U SE M E T O P AY T ITHE T O G OD
Some of those that promised You that they would get
married as virgins have broken the vows! Some that
used to run away from alcohol are now drinking and
smoking! Some that could not touch other people's
properties before are now comfortable with stealing.

Some who can't even allow their boyfriends to touch


them now feel comfortable sleeping with even
married men! Some have slept with their pastors and
choir leaders! Some have slept with their members
and spiritual sons and daughters! Some have lied and
gossiped against the men God brought to help them.
Satan has used their gossiping to scatter great
ministries and beautiful marriages.

Lord, these are all mistakes we have made! But on


behalf of my generation, we confess before You and we
throw these mistakes on the altar. You that specializes
in converting mistakes to miracles, please, do it again
in our time!

If You used weak Gideon; if You used loose Rehab; if


You used cowardly Peter; if You used unbridled David,
Lord, we know that You will not abandon our
generation! May the last time we fell be the last time
we will ever fall! In Jesus Name!

Brother, once again, throw that mistake to the Master.


Throw the mockery that came with it to Him. He knows
what to do with it. And at the end of the day, Satan will
be disgraced in your life. In Jesus Name, let us pray!

THE JOURNEY FROM JACOB TO ISRAEL

B efore I got to this small level that I am today in


ministry, I had made terrible, ungodly
decisions. I have failed God and men severally,
both intentionally and unintentionally.

I was not born a revivalist. The journey from


IykeOriaku to Revivalist IykeOriaku has not been easy.
When some of them heard about where I am coming
from and the terrible decisions I have made, they
disembarked from my cause.

Friends, maybe they have not told you: the longest


journey any man of purpose can embark on is to travel
from Jacob to Israel. Even from birth, prophecies sat on
my head; about how God was going to use me to do
great things in my time. But growing up, Satan took
over. I became an active member of the streets. Even
when I gave my life to Christ, my life did not look like
the prophecies that hovered around my head. Even
when I started preaching revival, I still needed revival
in many areas of my life.

But one thing I kept remembering is that there is a


prophecy on this head that will soon begin to speak.

32
THE JOURNEY FROM JACOB TO ISRAEL
That a time was coming when I will not need to shed
those secret tears after doing the same things I preach
against. If I had gone back to the streets, waiting for the
day I will become perfect before I start following God, I
might have been killed by now. Gradually, the lines
began to fall before me in pleasant places. Today, I still
have not arrived. But to the glory of God, I am getting
better than I was yesterday.

Maybe, you have been used to men that were born


pastors and they have never failed God all their lives. I
am sorry to disappoint you: I am not one of them. I
have failed God severally, both as a preacher and as a
member but I have enrolled into the squad in Hebrew
11; those who through weakness were made strong
and things are getting better.

Prophecies have stages that come with pressures. And


Satan knows the sensitive junctures of your life that he
will attack the most. The name David means BELOVED,
but prophecy drove him to start pasturing animals.
How can a man that is BELOVED be inside the bush
with animals? Why will a man that is BELOVED be
facing lions and bears?

Any prophecy whose process is not misunderstood


cannot give you a place on the earth. Any prophecy that
didn't confuse you will never confer any value on you. I
know you are wondering why your life is opposite of all
the prophecies that have gone ahead of you. God
showed you where you were carrying the Fire of God to
the nations of the world but you still see yourself into

33
HARLOTS ON FIRE
certain lifestyles that God hates and it makes you cry.

Sister, don't lose hope. I too was there. Don't stop


preaching against fornication and adultery because
people know you were once into it, even as a church
worker. Don't run back to the club because they call
you a hypocrite. Remain in church. A sinner in church
has more hope than the sinner in Babylon. One day,
God will give you an encounter that will change the
whole story. Because 'out of Zion shall be deliverance
and holiness.'

I want to encourage you if have been wondering if you


will ever serve God in spirit and in truth. Everyone
knows that you are a committed church worker, but
you know that you have areas of your life where you
struggle. It is too shameful to even tell your pastor or
fellow prayer group members. Nobody knows except
you. Sir, don't be discouraged.

Don't listen to those that tell you to go and become


perfect before you start preaching this gospel. God has
never called a man for him to be perfect before He will
use him. For Him to say: "Beyeperfect..." means the
people He is talking to still have issues of their lives
that they need to depend on Him alone to fix.

Keep striving towards perfection, but don't wait till


you get perfect before you start doing that thing God
put into your heart. If men were God, you will never be
holy enough in their eyes to qualify to wake up today.
Don't mind Satan, this is not going to be the end of your

34
THE JOURNEY FROM JACOB TO ISRAEL
story. You will soon outgrow these same things that
make you fall and it can even start from now.

Can you be sincere to yourself, that what your pastor is


calling you (if it is not positive) is not who you really
are? Can you cry to God to make you free from
whatever is usually pushing you down? You have
answered altar calls severally, but you still come back
the same. Can you use today to beg the Holy Spirit to
help your infirmities? I am sure He will show up.

What it takes for the rejected stone to become the chief


corner stone is just an encounter. It happened to Jacob.
It can still happen to you this week. But I don't know if
you are ready for that encounter that will usher you
into a new phase of life. I am very sure that we will soon
hear your testimony.

Bow down your head and let us pray!

35
05
I DON'T LIKE THIS KIND OF PROPHECIES;
PLEASE, DON'T ASK ME WHY.

S he is a prostitute that sleeps with countless men


every day for money but she has been crying to
God to use her in this generation. And as you are
reading this now, God has mobilized angels to help her
life.

If she will only accept the love of God, He will wash her
and fill her with Himself. However, you have been
singing in the choir, going to church regularly and
punctually but because you see yourself falling into sin
occasionally, you have refused to pray. All the things
God has told you to do, you have abandoned because of
guilt. And you are waiting to get perfect before you can
work for God.

You must change that mindset! If not, God will


abandon you and use that prostitute to do that thing
He asked you to do for Him. If you don't go back to that
music project God gave you years ago, He will raise
someone else from where you least expect and give
him the anointing He would have given to you.

Go back and start that fellowship and prayer


movement God put in your heart last year. There are
36
I D O N ’ T L I K E T H I S K I N D O F P RO P H E C I E S ; P L E A S E , D O N ’ T A S K WH Y
people that will never believe you are qualified to
carry God's Presence till Jesus comes because they
think they know you more than God knows you. Don't
blame them: they might have known you before but
they don't know the transformation going on in your
life.

Don't let God abandon you and choose another person.


If Abraham was perfect, God would not have asked him
to be perfect and walk with Him. Yet, God chose him
even in his imperfection until He helped him.

Cry to God to help your imperfections and please,


mean it! He will show up. But until He shows up,
continue with that assignment. Don't expect those that
used to know you to believe you. They will never, but it
doesn't matter. They didn't die for you. You did not sin
against them. The Man you sinned against says that He
is faithful and just to forgive all your unrighteousness
and that He will help your infirmities and I ask: whose
report shall you believe?

I know not what my life would have looked like today if


I had bowed to the voice of guilt. After salvation from
Satan, my greatest deliverance was when God
delivered me from what people that used to know me
would say when they see me preaching revival again,
because of my several instabilities.

But I knew I love God: I have left everything else to


follow Him. I have been called fool, lazy and jobless
because of my passion for missions. I have starved and
37
HARLOTS ON FIRE
trekked in obedience to God's design for the calling
upon my life. I had instabilities; I had addictions I was
battling with.

Satan wanted to use it to blackmail me into silence, so


that I will never talk about Jesus again, but I failed him.
I made him know that I am not one of those people he
blackmails into inactivity because of their several falls.
To his shame, the more I fail God, the more I talked
about God. The more I saw my weaknesses, the more I
preached to my generation about God's strength.
Today, the story has changed. I have not arrived yet, but
to the glory of God, I don't look like where I am coming
from.

Friends, don't celebrate Israel if you don't have an idea


how many times he failed as Jacob. The journey from
Jacob to Israel is not easy. You might fail yourself
severally. Relationships and businesses might lay
ambush against you. You might be going for altar calls
many times but still falling back to the same things.
But, please, don't lose hope. God will come through for
you. And that day can even be now.

Many who are supposed to be carrying the power of


God to the ends of the earth today are still inside their
houses waiting for the day they would become perfect,
afraid that people who know them would call them
hypocrites when they see them leading that prayer
movement in their communities. And unfortunately,
without apology, God has chosen others to replace
them. May that not be your portion in Jesus Name!

38
Will you go back to that vision? Will you go back to that
choir seats? Will you start blasting in tongues in that
hostel again? Will you start that midnight prayer
again? Or are you still going to wait till when you get
perfect?

If there is anyone God is helping today, that same God


will help you! See you at the top, because, below is too
crowded!

Let us pray!

I DON'T WANT TO BELIEVE THAT THE
CHURCH HAS SCAMMED ME

T wenty-four hours daily, hospitals are open to


allow anyone that has medical needs to come in,
no matter how the person is dressed. Twenty-
four hours daily, police doors are open to anyone that
has security needs to come in, no matter how s/he is
dressed.

Twenty-four hours daily, hotels are open to anyone


that has accommodation needs, no matter how the
person is dressed. Then why should the church have a
particular modeof dressing for those that want to
come in for their spiritual needs?

Someone must answer this question; if not, I will know


that I have been scammed. If we really care about their
souls as much as we claim, do you think we are going to
be comfortable locking them outside our church gates
because they are not as decent as we want them to be,
knowing fully well that they may die the next moment
and go to hell, where they will spend the next 200
billion years? Can you wish your child or relative to
spend eternity in such a doomed place? Are we not
supposed to be happy that they are even close enough
to us, to keep hearing the Word of God, so that God will

40
I D O N ’ T WA N T T O B E L I E V E T H AT T H E C H U RC H H A S S C A MM E D ME
use the seeds of His Word we have planted inside them
to work on them? Why all this aggressive protection of
our individual or denominational operations? I am
beginning to understand that I have been deceived. It
is getting obvious that the church really doesn't love
souls as we claim.

A church that doesn't mind watching young girls that


live around going to clubs on Friday nights instead of
coming into their churches doesn't love souls. How can
the church claim to be the hope of the lost and yet, we
are closing our church gates against those that we
know need the gospel the most in our communities?

I may not be talking to you; I am talking to the army


that God is raising by Himself without the permission
of any man. Don't let Satan wear the face of a
denominational doctrine or dogma to make you lose
one soul God brought your way in that community. The
people you were sent to save hate God and they are not
ashamed of it.

They love everything that keeps them far from God.


The more you flaunt your doctrines, the more you raise
a resistance to their souls. The method of operation of
the '70s and '90s' revivals will not work in our days.
There are places you will go with the Bible, you will
never win one single soul there, no matter how much
you prayed before you go there.

But there are places you go to with football magazines


or newspapers that you will come back with souls.
41
HARLOTS ON FIRE
There are churches you will send your new converts to
and they will never go to church again, not because the
churches are not genuine, but because those churches
do not understand the times that we are in.

There is a wind that is coming. Believe it: the real


evangelistic wind of revival is about to blow and many
denominations that have refused to align to the eternal
template for this end time move of God are going to fall
casualty. Churches that are celebrating their man-
made doctrines while souls around them are laughing
to hell without interruption will pay for it. Has it not
even started? The shaking has begun. "Wake up or fold
up""Align or resign". That will be the name of the game.
Leviathan, watch out!

Let us pray!

MY HEART BROKE WHEN I HEARD IT –
HOW MACAULAY MADE UP HIS MIND TO
CHANGE HIMSELF FROM MAN TO WOMAN

T hey saw him singing in the choir, even as he was


still keeping a homosexual boyfriend. Because
of that, anytime they saw him make a post
about God on social media, they said he should stop
deceiving people. 'Why will a homosexual be talking
about Jesus?' they ask.When they saw him crying
during worship in church, they said he was pretending
to be holy. They used gossip to threaten that boy to the
point where he dreaded coming online to make a
postbecause of what those that know him will say.

He got tired of going to church. So, while at home, Satan


hardened him. Today, he has become popular by the
atrocities and those same people that used gossip to
drive him away from church are still the ones saying
GOD FORBID when they see him glamorizing
homosexuality. Some of them will make heaven when
they die. But if he dies in homosexuality today, he will
go to hell.

That is to show you how wicked religion can be. That is


why I hate religion more than I hate Satan. Religion
wears the face of spirituality to attack the real people
43
MY HEART BROKE WHEN I HEARD IT - HOW MACAULAY MADE UP HIS MIND TO CHANGE HIMSELF FROM MAN TO WOMAN
who run to Zion for help. Religion gives boldness to a
girl sleeping with a guy that promised her marriage
without remorse, yet, she is condemning her fellow
girl that is sleeping with a married man.

Religion makes sinners to be the first to crucify their


fellow sinners because they are clever enough to cover
their own sins. Religion is more wicked than Satan
himself. I am talking to those who don't know who
Macaulay is. Macaulay is that girl in your church that
sings in the choir but still follows her lesbian partners
home to continue from where they stopped before she
came to church.

Macaulay is that boy that is in the church drama group


who still goes to the club every weekend, smoke, drink
and go after women. Macaulay is that girl that used to
be on fire for God but has now started following sugar
daddies since she got into the university. Macaulay is
that girl that has had abortions for all the men that she
thought will get married to her. Right now, she has also
started sleeping with the one she is dating now. She
doesn't like it and that is why you see her crying every
Sunday in church.

Macaulay is that young boy that has all the revival


audio messages in his phone and attends every fire
conference, yet, he is still struggling with
masturbation. He hates it, but has no power to stop it.
When you see him crying in church during worship, no
matter how often he cries, please, leave him alone; you
have no clue about the demons he battles with every
day.
44
HARLOTS ON FIRE
When you see a particular young man running to
answer altar calls every time, don't mock him. You
don't know where he is coming from. Don't gossip
about people in church and drive them to the point
where they don't care anymore. Don't disgrace
someone to the level where he begins to feel that
identifying with Babylon fully is better for him.

That is the case of Macaulay. He no longer cares. Go to


Instagram, Twitter, Facebook: the more you gossip
about him, the more he gets alerts from his bank
accounts. Well, you probably don't know how much he
has negatively influenced many into the mess of
homosexuality with his boldness which he uses to
glamorize the demon called homosexuality.

Please, now that that prostitute still comes to church


and cry during worship even after sleeping with
numerous men, please, leave her. Pray for her and if
you can, ask God to give you the language to use to
preach to her. She might not repent immediately but
remember that even you didn't repent the first time
you heard the gospel. Even now that you have started
carrying fire, you still have some areas of your life
where you trust God to help you more.

Please, when that prostitute you know makes a post


about God online again, please, like her post. Comment
on it if you can to encourage her scriptural online
posts. Don't say she is deceiving people with the Name
of God. The Name she is using to 'deceive' people is not
your name. The Owner of the Name will soon respond
and a mighty evangelist will be raised from that same
prostitute.
45
MY HEART BROKE WHEN I HEARD IT - HOW MACAULAY MADE UP HIS MIND TO CHANGE HIMSELF FROM MAN TO WOMAN
Now that that guy still make gospel posts after coming
back from clubs, don't discourage him. Yes, we already
know that you are heaven bound but we are talking
about those who are hell bound. Don't help Satan push
them out from church to where they will have no body
to tell them what they are hearing in church now.

Porn stars today are our sisters who no more care.


Prostitutes today are former choir members who don't
care anymore. That they still hide to sin means that
they still have their conscience. Don't discourage them
from coming close to church with your approach.

The reason God started looking for Adam was because


Adam still had a conscience even after sinning. It was
the conscience that made him hide. And that single
display attracted God. Oh! I wish he went further to cry
for forgiveness. I am sure that God would have forgiven
him and restored him seven fold according to His
word.

Some false prophets would not have gone as deep as


they are in diabolism today if not that some genuine
prophets used gossip and slandering to send them far
away from Zion. That is why God is still keeping them
alive, waiting for the day they will return to Him. I wish
they would do it fast before it is too late.

Brother, if you knew how Satan hates those girls that


sing in the choir in your church; if you knew how much
he boils in anger when he sees a young man posting
things about God on Facebook, you will not want to
46
HARLOTS ON FIRE
discourage wobbling people in church.

I have made a vow that religion must lose her voice in


my time and the real story is even about to begin.
Already, I have lost many friends. I pray not to lose
more, but if they have no choice than to go, then, good
riddance. We all will still meet in heaven. I will
passionately miss them but I can't help it. The
Samaritan woman is calling my name.

Jesus left ninety-ninepastors who were already on Fire


and went in search of just one harlot who used to sing
in the choir before she started following 'sugar
daddies'. If He were alive now, He would eat in
Macaulay's house today. If we are doing less than what
He would have done, then, we don't know love yet.

It is not in my time that one single person will leave the


church and go to dine in Babylon. The same people we
were spending money to preach to on radio, in crusade
grounds and morning cries, we still see them in church
and start using our personal walk with God to
intimidate them.

How can you be living with sinners in the same


compound and you are speaking in tongues 24 hours
of the day? You can't join them to discuss football,
politics, academics, etc. The only time you talk to them
is when you see them wearing skimpy clothes. That is
usually when you start advising them against wearing
skimpy dresses. On Sunday, you would begin to invite
them to church. No wonder there is nobody your fire

47
MY HEART BROKE WHEN I HEARD IT - HOW MACAULAY MADE UP HIS MIND TO CHANGE HIMSELF FROM MAN TO WOMAN
has brought into the Kingdom. You don't know what
revival is yet. Your own Christianity is still bereft of the
burden for the lost and love for their 'Christless' souls.
You definitely need an encounter with the Spirit of
Jesus.

God is raising an army that will help this generation of


doomed sinners. We don't expect to understand their
methods of operation. When God is through with what
He is doing through them, Macaulay and his kind must
repent. To the glory of God, that same Macaulay who is
popular for homosexuality today will later become
popular for evangelism.

Please, do it in my days, Lord! Let those that cannot pay


the price, please, leave it alone!

Let us pray!

THESE ARE SOME OF THE LIES THEY
TOLD US ABOUT GOD WHICH HAVE
DESTROYED MANY PEOPLE.

W hen I entered ministry, I was not born again.


I was still doing nonsense. I was in ministry,
still answering altar calls, yet, with all that, I
still didn't repent 'very well'.

One of my friends who also knew about the call of God


upon his life wasn't happy with me. He started
advertising me to stop deceiving myself; I should wait
and repent 'very well' before going into ministry. He
added that he too will answer the call when he is totally
ready to repent 'very well'. I refused.

He was busy there in the streets. But I was busy in Zion,


falling and rising. He was calling me a hypocrite and I
didn't have a problem with that. Because I knew that a
sinner in Zion has more hope than a sinner in Babylon.
I remained in Zion. Gradually, the entrance of the Word
began to bring light. Now, though we have not arrived
yet, God has helped us. But as you are reading this now,
that friend of mine is still in the streets. Massively
addicted and grossly messed up. Police cases here and
there. Today in court, tomorrow back to jail. Yet, he is
still waiting for the time when he will repent 'very
49
THESE A RE S OME O F T HE L IES T HEY T OLD U S A BOUT G OD W HICH H AVE D ESTROYED M ANY P EOPLE
well'. But Iwho didn't repent 'very well'at that time,
has been helped by heaven to overcome the things that
I used to struggle with.

I realized that from that small repentance I did, God


was making a Name for Himself through me. Recently, I
have seen God raise dead people by my hands. I have
seen revival invading communities that I stepped into
and I have seen the power of God turning native
doctors into preachers in some months through my
feeble hands. I have watched the revival power hitting
spiritually dead and weak fellowships after I came and
ministered and left. Yet, I didn't repent 'very well'
when I started.

They lied to us. They told us that you must be perfect


before you answer the call. They stigmatized us when
they saw us failing. Can you help me beg that young
man with a call of God upon his life that has been
waiting to repent 'very well' before he enters the
ministry that he is wasting time? God needs his
attention now.

He said: “Behold, now is the accepted time; behold now


is the day of salvation”.(2Corinthians 6:2)

Not tomorrow. Not when you have stopped


masturbation. Not when you no more have an appetite
for smoking and alcoholism. Not when you are no
more into pornography. He said 'now'.

A doctor might be having a chest problem, yet, he


50
HARLOTS ON FIRE
would treat someone else with chest problems. The
government doesn't stop a sick man from being a
doctor because they know that treating others doesn't
stop you from treating yourself. How can a man say he
doesn't want to become a doctor because he is
asthmatic?

I am talking to that person that grew up around the


people that tell him that he must be like Adeboye and
Kumuyi before he answers the call. They lied to you,
Bro. Jesus did not call any of his disciples into ministry
when they were already perfect. They, like me, didn't
repent 'very well'. But they were sitting at the feet of
the Master and there was no limit to what they could
have done for God.

My brother, with tears in my eyes, I beg you to bring


that load of addiction. Come with that terrible struggle.
Bring it to the feet of the Master. He will not let you
carry that baggage for long and be working for Him. He
will fix you. Since you have been waiting to repent 'very
well', how much have you succeeded? Don't waste the
time you should be using to carry the fire of God to the
ends of the earth. Satan is not your mate. He will never
allow you to get to that point when you will repent
'very well'.

That's why anytime you want to make up your mind, he


will bring a handsome boy that will love you more than
those that broke your heart and you will still keep
falling back into fornication. Have you not bothered to
ask why it is anytime you make up your mind to follow

51
THESE A RE S OME O F T HE L IES T HEY T OLD U S A BOUT G OD W HICH H AVE D ESTROYED M ANY P EOPLE
God that Satan brings people that will take you out to
give you free drinks and free sex? He doesn't want you
to make up your mind.

He knows that God will accept you however you are


and wash you the way He wants you to be. That's why
he wants you to remain far from God. But heaven is
telling you now: "Behold, now is the accepted time,
behold this is the day of salvation…”NOW! NOW!!
NOW!!!Not when you have graduated from school. Not
when you have stopped doing school boyfriend.

Remember that after school boyfriend, there will also


be an office boyfriend. After office boyfriend, there will
also be a church boyfriend. After church boyfriend,
there will still be a neighborhood boyfriend. (Smiles)

Satan will keep distracting you until God will get tired
of waiting for you and He will go and locate another
person and start using him to do what He called you to
do. May that not be your portion in Jesus Name! Ask
your bishop, he will tell you that he too had a struggle.
Your pastor's wife too had hers. God helped them. He
will also help you.

I know many people whose gifts have been silenced


because they were waiting to repent 'very well' before
they answer God's call on their lives. Delay robbed
them of their chances to be used mightily by God at a
time like this. You can kneel down where you are and
ask God to help you.

52
09
WHEN TOMORROW COMES AND THEY HAVE BECOME A
MIGHTY ARMY, PLEASE, REMIND THEM THAT I WAS NOT
AMONG THOSE THAT CLOSED THE GATES OF
THE CHURCH AGAINST THEM.

S ome people still struggle with the dirty spirits of


lesbianism and homosexuality. Some still hide to
smoke after choir rehearsals. Some still keep
boyfriends and girlfriends in our campuses who we
sleep with after fellowship.

Ninety percent of those that fornicate will rather die


than open their legs for random and careless sex with
anyone they see. You can't use money to sway them
into bed, no matter how handsome or beautiful you
are. You can't get them behind the doors.

But the problem of many in this generation is 'love'.


Once we are 'in love', we are in trouble. 'Love' has made
us fall into sin more than money. It makes us open our
legs and zip down even with bibles opened on the
same bed. Some of us have never fornicated with
anyone except the people we thought we would get
married to.

We know it's wrong. We try to control ourselves. But


53
W H EN TO M O R RO W CO M ES A N D TH EY H AVE BE CO M E A M I G H TY A R M Y, . .
many other times, we still fall. It has exposed us to
different contraceptive pills and when the pills failed
us, to avoid shame in church, to avoid what our fellow
young ministers and choir members will say about us,
abortion became our only option. It has caused us
emotional pains and physical helplessness. Some of
those that haven't won their flesh and mastered their
emotions are still in that struggle now. It's not a fight
against lust. It's a fight against 'love'.

In our secret place, we cry. We may not have told you


this because we know that you would not have helped
us. We might not tell our pastor, because he might not
allow us sing in the choir again and we are afraid to be
the topic ofthe messages for the next one month in
church. We can't tell our friends because we are afraid
that they will use it to spoil our name everywhere if we
quarrel with them tomorrow.

But, we love God with all our hearts and Satan knows.
He knows what we have in mind to carry out for God in
our campuses that will affect his enterprise. He knows
that we are not into the preaching ministry because of
the money and we are not into the singing ministry
because of the fame.

He knows that we love God beyond the honorarium


and that's why He is angry with us. Please, when you
see us falling and rising, don't lose hope on us. When
you see us going back to our vomit sometimes, even
after crying during altar calls, please, don't write us off.
There is something about us Satan is fighting. Even in

54
HARLOTS ON FIRE
our wobbling nature, Satan is still afraid of us. He has
seen the determination of our hearts to serve God till
our dying day and he has released more demons
against us, to make sure that we will never over grow
this spiritual level.

Please, if you push us out of church, you have joined


him to fight us. If you start gossiping about us in the
youth department or choir, you have started assisting
the demons sent to discourage us. Some of our friends
in church had already left. Some of those that were in
Zion with us are now singing and dancing naked in
clubs because of this.

Some of them that used to preach about Jesus on


Facebook have started advertising different sexual
styles on the same Facebook now. They could not stand
the gossips and backbiting in church among believers
any more. Those that knew about their falls ran away
from them and started saying they are using gospel
posts about Jesus to deceive people.

The shame was too much. Today, hell is celebrating,


because some of them have entered deeper into drugs
and commercial sex. They are dying in pornography
and swimming in masturbation, yet, they are no longer
seeing anything wrong in them because Satan '...has
shut their eyes that they can't see and their hearts that
they cannot understand...'

The same people that used to fall over the place,


rolling, crying for mercy anytime they make a mistake
55
W H EN TO M O R RO W CO M ES A N D TH EY H AVE BE CO M E A M I G H TY A R M Y, . .
to fornicate with their boyfriends now open their legs
for all manner of people and don't see anything wrong
with it again. In the beginning, it was not so.

In the beginning, they used to cry anytime they fell into


sin. In the beginning, they used to declare praying and
fasting whenever impure thoughts cross their minds.
They used to look for pastors to confess their sins to.
But not anymore. They were pushed away from where
they would have gotten help by those who seemed
stronger than them.

Please, Sir, if you cannot help a soul, don't join Satan to


kill the soul. Don't add lies to the things you heard
about us. We might not be as evil as they told you.
There might still be some virtues in us. The reason we
are still coming to Zion, singing in choir, quoting
scriptures and even preaching to people is because we
believe that this Name we are calling will not leave us
the same way.

Don't push us out to outer darkness. We don't want to


join them. We know what God showed us from the
beginning. We still remember the prophecies on our
heads. If Satan is not fighting us, then, he is not Satan.
The glory ahead of us is too much and Satan has the
right to get angry with us. Please, pray for us.

We may not know how long it took God to make Papa


Kumuyi as holy as he is today. We know not how long it
took Him to make Papa Oyedepo how bold he is today.
We don't know how much He invested in Papa Paul
56
HARLOTS ON FIRE
Enenche to make him carry the kind of Fire he is
manifesting. All we know is that we have run to Him
and we are sure that He will not leave us like this.

Don't think we love sin because you see us falling into


sin. You don't know how long we cry inside the house
anytime we fall. You don't know how long we have
placed ourselves on emergency fasting, just to break
the demonic addictions and lusts.

After telling them to stop talking to us and stop hosting


our drama groups in their churches, where is the love?
After recruiting people to rise against us in the church,
how will the Holy Child Jesus be glorified? One thing
we have told Satan is that the battle over the
prophecies on our heads will soon be over and we will
certainly be victorious.

When we look back tomorrow, may we not see your


name as one of those that Satan used to push us to
Babylon! May we not remember you as one of those
that told the whole world what you should have told
only God about us!

If anyone wants to leave us, please, let it not be you. If


any church wants to close their doors against us,
please, let it not be your church. Because this is not
going to be the end of our story. We can still hear the
cry of a better someday.

How can God help an ordinary 'earthworm' like Jacob


so much that he developed teeth and began to pull
57
W H EN TO M O R RO W CO M ES A N D TH EY H AVE BE CO M E A M I G H TY A R M Y, . .
down mountains? The same earthworm that has no
bones; the same earthworm that cannot pray; the
same earth worm that cannot fast. Yet, God helped him.
If God could help a boneless 'earthworm' like Jacob, He
will help us.

You will still see us singing in the choir tomorrow. You


will still see us organizing crusades. You will still see us
on mountains and praying camps. Both in weakness
and in strength, we will not stop making posts about
God online. We have refused to lock ourselves indoors,
waiting to become perfect before we will start doing
something for Jesus. We no longer care about the
gossips from our fellow youth members.

Gone are the days when we cared about what our


friends and enemies are saying about us online. If you
think we will stop speaking in tongues in church
because of what you heard about us yesterday, you are
wasting your time. The more we do for God now, the
more we attract His attention to come and fix our lives.

If it is God that helped you to become who you are, that


same God will help us. A time will come, and we know
that it will not be long, when we shall look for those
things that used to push us down and we won't see
them again.

These same hands that still carries Indian Hemp and


guns sometimes will still carry healing and revival
anointing. These same ladies that are popular in all the
abortion clinics in town will later become popular for
58
HARLOTS ON FIRE
bringing native doctors to Jesus. Already, many of us
are rising above addictions and lusts and are now
standing tall for Jesus without compromise.

To the glory of God, some of us can't even remember


the last time we asked God for forgiveness for those
things we used to cry about each time we fall. To the
helplessness of hell, God has seen the travail of our
soul and has gotten satisfied. We know that if He has
done it for one, He will soon do for it for all.

But until then, nothing shall separate us from the love


of God. Let us pray!

THESE ARE THE THINGS SHAME TAUGHT ME

D on't wait for that addiction to disgrace you


before you take it to God in prayer. Stop looking
for people that will accommodate you the way
you are. They may not always be the ones you need if
God must help you.

Nothing makes a believer lose confidence in himself


than secret sins. Nothing challenges the faith of a child
of God than when he doesn't know if those that knows
about his secret struggles are around. One of the
reason people are not fulfilling their colourful
destinies in Christ is not because they have nothing to
say to this generation, but because they are battling
with secret sins.

How can you still preach to the person you buy


cigarette from? How can you pray for someone in the
same compound when they all have been seeing you
bringing in different ladies at nights? These are things
that steal the fire of men.

Friends, I, Iyke Oriaku, the privileged author of this


book, know what it means to be preaching revival even
when you know you need revival in some areas of your
life. I know what it means to be used by God to destroy
60
T H E S E A R E T H E T H I N G S S H A M E TA U G H T M E
the yokes of addiction to smoking, yet, sometimes, you
still see me battling with the same smoking God has
been using me to save people from. I have laid hands on
a sick person and HIV died instantly, yet, the next
moment, I still used those same hands to touch my
girlfriend.

Inside me, I will cry day and night. People around me


did not need to know, but I knew I was not happy. Deep
down in my heart, I wanted to be a very stainless
preacher of the gospel. I am sure God saw the
seriousness of my heart and He showed up. How God
chose to help me was by the instrumentality of shame
and public disgrace.

Trust me, sometimes, God's deliverance to our lives is


not pleasant. Sometimes, how He answers our prayers
is by making us see some kind of shame. There are
decisions only shame will help you to make. There are
steps only tears can help you take. Many times, what
we call gossip is not gossip. It is God's voice of
deliverance through friends and enemies. That thing
you are calling blackmail might be an instrument of
restoration for you.

Don't let your case get to the level of shame before you
call God to help you. If shame will have to preach to you,
it is going to be very painful. When you have been
asking God to help you stop a particular thing and He
chose to use those that know about that secret habit to
disgrace you, it is not backstabbing. When they publish
it online or come to church to tell everyone about it, do
61
HARLOTS ON FIRE
not take it as gossip. I call it encounter.
If you can handle it very well, that shame will turn to a
helper because when an addiction has lost its secret
identity in your life, it has lost seventy percent of its
power to keep you down. When something is exposed,
you have more chances to be freed from it. The
goodness of God leads us to repentance, not continuity
in evil (Romans 2:4). For how long shall we keep
singing the Lord's song in a strange land? (Psalm
136:4) Paul said: “God forbid that we shall remain in sin
for grace to abound.”Rom 6:1

Satan brought shame to disgrace me, but I absorbed it


and God used it as a means of healing. There are things
I would have still been battling with if I didn't suffer the
shame I suffered. Shame helped my prayer life. It made
me know that people can never save you from yourself
except God. It made me fast more and forced me
indoors to start looking for more of God's words that
will fix me once and for all.

I have seen people counsel people, yet, the next day,


they (the counsellors) commit suicide. I have seen
those that God use to break people's addiction
struggling with burdens of their own. I was there. But
to the shame of Satan, my struggles produced the
shame that helped my life.

Now that God has not allowed them to catch you in that
secret act, you can ask Him to help you. Don't wait till
when yours produces shame. Don't continue in secret
sins and say that it doesn't matter. The issue you don't
62
T H E S E A R E T H E T H I N G S S H A M E TA U G H T M E
give attention to today will grow more than you can
handle soon. Don't let the zeal to do things for God
make you ignore this fight of destiny. There are things
of eternal value that will never break out for you until
you cry for God's help.

Rising and falling is not the destiny of a born again. You


can tell your vomit that the last time you fell will be the
last time you will ever fall. The Bible said: “Behold, this
is the accepted time, behold this is the time of salvation”.

Can you make NOW your own time of deliverance? Are


you ready? God is waiting. Let us pray!

A LETTER TO ALL THE PENTECOSTAL PHARISEES

I f you are in church celebrating your piety and using


your holiness to intimidate others, be careful. If not,
God will shun you and locate that sister everybody
knows has had several abortions and use her to do
what will glorify Him even till the next 400 years, if
Jesus tarries.

Don't be a judge of another man's servant. When it


comes to God, run your race and don't be a referee
because you may not be there when that same lady and
God will settle. In His infinite mercies, He would have
forgiven her while you will still be busy talking about
what God has forgiven and forgotten. Psalm 103:12

He said that “I, even I, am he that blotteth out thy


transgressions for my own sake, and will not remember
thy sins”. Isaiah 43:25.

Why will you remain a curator of other people's


errors? How does it glorify God that you are disgracing
a young lady in church over the things she did and has
asked God for forgiveness, which He has forgiven and
even forgotten? Who are you really working for? God
or Satan?

64
A L E T T E R T O A L L T H E P E N T E C O S TA L P H A R I S E E S
Well, you are probably still a virgin. You have not
messed up before. You have not shed any blood before.
And now, you are condemning those boys and girls
that messed up. Take it easy, Sir. God does not see
people the way we see them. You are seeing yesterday;
God is seeing tomorrow. You are seeing who they were;
God is seeing who they can become. You are seeing the
things they have done; God is seeing what they can do.

The girl you saw messing up with married men last


weekend might be somewhere now, crying and asking
God for forgiveness; trusting God to give her the power
to break all her addictions. The boy you saw as a cultist
last semester might be somewhere now, fasting and
praying for mercy. Take it easy while judging those you
did not die for so that you won't be among those God
will surprise.

Men and women that will carry this end time fire will
not only be virgins. Guys whose hands are stained with
blood might be useful to God in this time that we are in.
Don't write any man off yet. There is going to be an
unusual inclusion of various kinds of people in this
army that God is building. Men that will be hard to be
understood are going to join in this squad. Satan is
about to see surprises. Those he has used and abused
are coming for vengeance.

If they have ever written you off before, can I talk to


you? Go and look for God. Forget this scramble for the
microphone in your church. Forget what people are
thinking about you. Go and cry to God to restore you.

65
HARLOTS ON FIRE
Let God help you not to fall where you failed yesterday.
Let nobody see you secretly or openly feasting on your
vomit. Lock yourself in that room from tonight. Tell
God to empower you to love Him more. I am sure He is
waiting.

He said He will pour water on him that is thirsty and


flood on the dry ground. (Isaiah 44:3) He is waiting for
you to be thirsty enough. He will release His Power on
you. And when demons hear your voice again, they will
run away.

Don't wait to have more dirty stories before you


surrender to the plans of God for your life. Don't long to
enjoy life more so that you will have what to tell others.
You might not be lucky to live long enough to even tell
the story. Satan is lurking around you. He is targeting
the glory God designed for you. He is doing everything
possible to dribble you out of God's best for your life.

The farther you are from God is how far you are from
your colourful destiny on earth. No matter what you
have without Christ, there is something else you need,
which only Jesus can give. You have had enough stories.
Don't go getting pregnant and aborting them because
they told you that God will forgive. Yes, He will forgive
but He said I should ask you: “Shall we remain in sin for
grace to abound?”

Many people that told me they wanted to enjoy life


more before they repent are not alive today. Satan
destroyed some of them; they didn't live to tell those

stories they were gathering. They have lost on earth


and in eternity. Friend, you must hate Satan because he
hates you.Now is the acceptable time, now is the time of
salvation. Not tomorrow; not after graduating from the
university. The real honour is in Christ. Until you sell
out totally to Him, you have not seen honour yet.

Some of us tasted the honour the streets could give


before we accepted Jesus, yet, our lives were far from
honour. We ran into the church, joined different
vibrant departments, attended vigils, sowed seeds
every now and then, yet, there was a kind of glory we
did not taste, because our lives were far from God.

We wore designer clothing, yet, we were far from


honour. Today, if there is any regret we have, it is
because we did not follow Jesus earlier. Now that we
are growing in Christ is when we have seen what real
honour is. Unfortunately, many are still in the streets,
enjoying the things we vomited. How can you sit in
toilets taking pictures when you are enjoying what
others vomited? I pray God opens your eyes to see
where God is taking you and why Satan is trying very
hard to get you distracted.

God will keep forgiving you when you keep falling but
there is an amount of glory you can never carry if you
keep falling and rising because children cannot handle
glory. Stop celebrating spiritual imbecility. God wants
you to grow, so that you will walk into what He has
prepared for you which eyes have not seen, neither
ears heard.

WHERE ARE THE KATHRYN KHULMANS OF
OUR GENERATION?

W hy our generation might never produce a


Kathryn Khulman is because most of our
ladies are busy praying naked in the
midnight, for God to kill their ex boyfriends .

Where are all those ladies that started looking for God
when Aposltes Joshua Selman and Arome Osayi
started looking for God? Where are some of them who
were always on mountains with Lawrence Oyor,
P.Daniel, Femi Lazarus, Michael Orokpo, Joseph Japhet
etc?.

Why is it that nobody knows where they are today? It


all started when they began to listen to men that
bewitched them with the spirit of anxiety when
marriage wasnt coming. They abandoned the great
visions God was birthing through them and went in
search of wedding rings.

They began to blame heartbreak on witchcraft and


they started looking for revenge instead of them to
look for encounters and God abandoned them in
search of anyone else to use. The good news is that that
search is still on in your community today, but will you
make yourself available?

Sister, the Bible says that all things work together for

good for those that love God and to those that are
called according to his purpose. Do you know that God
can allow a witch to delay you so that you will be ripe
enough for what He wants to use you to do?

Some of us have come to a point where we are begging


God to please, if need be, borrow Satan to delay us
until we are mature enough for what He showed us
from the beginning. Because, certainly, hell will pay for
it.

Every believer in our time must be taught that 'delay' is


not an enemy. Delay is a seperate angel that handles
destinies that have been mandated to be great right
from the foundations of this world. That was what our
fathers were taught about God that made them serve
God in spirit and in truth, even when they were hungry
and lonely. Go and make peace with that angel called
DELAY. He will guide you into your eternal inheritance.

Whenever you hear that Abraham staggered not,


remember that angel called, delay. It was that angel
that helped him. Unfortunately, many preachers of my
generation doesn't know that angel.

That is why they go to sell their souls to mami water for


power, crowd and money. It is time to reconcile with
that angel.

It is God wearing the face of discomfort to ultimately


give you what you cannot give to yourself. Check every
man that handled phenomenal dimensions, they were
once attacked by delay. That was the angel that handed
a son, Samuel to Hannah that made the whole of Israel
to honour her, till this day.

70
HARLOTS ON FIRE
That is why some of us have already become prisoners
of purpose. We have already died to people's
expectations and conclusions about us. We have learnt
the art of using the Name of Jesus to convert
unfavorable conditions into Divine tools.

That is why there is no pain, mockery and gossip that


has the power to make us stagger. It's only a mad man
that will keep mocking a man that is already mocking
himself. I want to beg you not to lose hope on our
generation yet. God is still working on us. Soon, it will
be said about us that we are that generation that
staggered not.

Where are those young girls, many years ago that used
to declare fasting, dry, crying, praying. Not for money
or job or admission, but for God to give them souls.
Where are those that used to come back from
evangelism in tears, because they didnt win more
souls?

I remember those ladies in campus who use to go to


Bush House of Abia State University, crying for God to
raise another Kathryn Khulman in them? Please,
where are they? It is time to go back to our knees and
cry to God to restore unto us those prophecies we
abandoned while seeking for wedding ring.

I am not talking to you, sister. I am talking to that girl


who started growing with visions of revelations of
mighty crusades and revivals by your hands. I am
talking to that lady that God use to show different men
and women of God in the dream. Severally, prophecies
have come to confirm the things God has been showing
you in your dream.

71
WH E R E A R E T H E K AT H RY N K H U L M A N S O F O U R G E N E R AT I O N ?

I understand the loneliness. I know what it means to


have built hope with a particular person, thinking that
it was going to work out, but God started a movie that
scattered everything. I have been there too.

But, I want to let you know that this age you are in now
is the time to decide to be useful or to be useless in
God's end time program. Don't let pressure make you
accept a wedding ring that will spell your disaster on
earth. There is nothing wrong, praying to God for a life
partner, but, remember that He makes all things
beautiful in its time. Remember the things God use to
show you in your dreams many years ago.

Don't forget that there was a time nothing happens


around you without God showing it to you. Remember
the days witches and wizards use to write a letter,
begging your parents to allow you to go for holidays.
Because your prayers in that community was
disturbing them from carrying out their demonic
activities.

But these days, everything has died. Your visions are


now blurred. It started since you started praying like
the gentiles. It started when they started telling you
that you are cursed because you are not married like
your mates. Oh Jesus! With tears in my eyes, please,
restore my sisters once again.

If you are the one using Aposlte Selman, please,


remember our ladies. Distract everything positioned
to distract them. Scatter every relationship they are
into that is running contrary to their templates in
eternity. Yes, Lord, please, break their hearts, if need
be. Let them cry. But please, give them the grace to wait

72
HARLOTS ON FIRE
for those men you have kept for them that will guide
them to the path you have carved out for them. Until
those men come, please, restore their burdens again.
Visit them in their dreams once again. Keep them far
from agents of anxiety. Restore their gifts of
prophecies again, please, Lord. We cannot afford to
have a generation of ladies that only celebrates
wedding gowns and wedding rings.

Something that has eternal value must be said about


our sisters. We must hear news of pockets of revivals
breaking out in different places by their hands. We will
hear that while inside the beauty saloons, dirty spirits
saw them and started screaming out of people.

Men will come to toast them but will kneel down


asking God for mercy, because of the spirit of
conviction that will be in display in their lives. Oh
Jesus! It is going to be an interesting spectacle.

Thank You for keeping us alive to see these days and


Lord, please, in the fulness of time, give them
wonderful husbands that will not lead them to hell. In
Jesus Name. Let us pray!

13FROM HOLY GHOST FIRE TO HELL FIRE

B efore, you used to smoke, even after singing in


choir. You used to have sexual drive anytime
after seeing your period and it led you into
different mess. You used to lie, even when there were
no reasons to lie.

You used to steal things. Anytime you dont have money,


any man that approaches you can sleep with you, as
long as he can buy you dinner. You dont used to know
how to scare ladies off when they come with sexual
advances and it has led you into fornication which you
usually cry after doing it.

But now God has helped you to stop all those things.
You dont need to go to Bible school again before you
know what to preach to your generation. Tell them that
that God that helped you can help them. Dont wait till
you start dividing the Word of God like Apostle Joshua
Selman.

Has God not been good to you? Has He not saved you
from accident? Have you not survived food poisoning?
Was it not God that made you gain admission into the
university? Why not tell this generation about that God
that did these things for you?

Don't be afraid. I know that there are still things you

74
HARLOTS ON FIRE
are trusting Him to do for you, but preach about the
ones He has already done for you. You will see heaven
will open and people will be saved by your hands, to
the shame of hell.

They lied to us. They told us that we must know many


scriptures before we can preach. They said that we
must be perfect before we can lay hands on the sick.
Since we have been waiting to be perfect, it has not
happened and consequently, we have remained at
ease in Zion.

Can I beg you to go to your street and preach to others


about that thing Jesus did for you? Keep crying to God
to be better than you are now, but until then, dont stop
talking about Jesus. If I waited till I become like Kumuyi
before I tell this generation about Jesus, I would never
have been able to tell anyone about Jesus till now. Don't
make that mistake. Tell people about Jesus.

Your story is enough to lead someone to Christ. Dont


wait till you be like your pastors wife. Preach. Some
will call you hypocrite. Others will say that you should
shut up and stop deceiving people. If you listen to
them, Satan will be glorified. God said I should tell you
that "the word is nigh thee, open thou thy mouth and I
shall fill it ...”

He said that.."Because you have decided to speak these


words, He will make His words in your mouth fire and
the people shall become wood and it shall devour
them.." You cannot be praying 2hours or more
everyday and your words will remain ordinary.

You cannot be fasting when others are feasting and you

75
F R O M H O LY G H O S T F I R E T O H E L P F I R E
have the same spiritual results like them. The problem
is that you have been praying only for money, marriage
and good jobs. You have been fasting only for
admission into the high institution. But today, just go
into God's Presence in tongues, with no prayer
request.

The next time people listen to you they will know that
'something' has happened to you. I may not talking to
you. I am talking to that person that has been waiting
for the time to start reaching out to others with the
gospel of Jesus Christ.

You have wasted enough time trying to become what


you don't have the power to become. The time is now
and what God will use you to do will marvel even your
pastor. Make sure you are not sitting down somewhere
celebrating the anointing that comes even when you
are living a dirty lifestyle. Power is not a sign that you
are at peace with God. Healings and miracles are not
what gives credence to a man that is working for God.

Even if you fornicate before climbing the pulpit to sing


or to preach, the power of God might still move
everywhere. There might still be instant healings and
creative miracles. You might see people's cases and
their solutions. But that is a way Satan wants to keep
you comfortable in sin so that you will think that 'God
forgive me' Christianity is enough for the kind of OIL
God wants you to manifest in this generation.

Yes, God forgives, but something is leaving you. I am


not talking about the OIL of slaying people down
during night vigils. I mean the OIL that confers
spiritual values on men. This year, please, among all

76
HARLOTS ON FIRE
the things you are desiring from God, let the most
important one be to stop 'God forgive me' type of
Christianity.

'God forgive me' Christanity is making you a truant in


the school of glory. I am not talking about Bible story. I
am talking about my own life both as a member and as
a revival fire preacher. To the glory of God, I have seen
the move of God by my hands.

I have preached in meetings where 13 people were


seeing different sizes and shapes of Angels in different
places in the church hall. I have seen the lame walk and
wheelchairs dropped forever.

HIV has seen me and disappeared even without


praying, to the glory of God alone. But, yet, I will come
back and fall into the same sins God uses me to save
people from. But because of the attendant move of God
in my meetings, I got tired of asking God to help me
overcome those secret sins. If not for God's abrupt
interruption, I would have grown old with that mind
frame of Christianity. But God later helped me.

I have not arrived yet. This man Iyke Oriaku needs your
prayers. But, one thing that made Satan mad at me was
because I told him to his face that, whether in
weakness or in strength I will preach the message God
told me to preach to my generation.

The more I was falling into sin, the more I was still
preaching against that same sin. Many people that
knew about it were calling me a hypocrite. Till today,
some still call me hypocrite, for preaching against
what I was struggling with. And I don't blame them,

77
F R O M H O LY G H O S T F I R E T O H E L P F I R E
because they didnt understand my bargain with satan.
I promised him that I will never stop preaching about
holiness and righteousness, even though I wasn't all
that I was preaching yet.

About 15years ago, in that 21 hours encounter, God


told me that He is raising me to be among those that
will herald the voice of holiness and righteousness
before the end will come. Satan heard it and came after
me, but, I told him that though I fall into sin sometimes,
I will never stop what God asked me to tell my
generation.

His greatest victory over my soul would have been to


see me stop preaching against sin. He would have been
happy if I had started preaching convenient messages
that will not stir people into getting it right with God.
But, I failed him.

I am sorry to disappoint the few people that heard


heard about Iyke Oriaku and came, thinking that I have
been as holy as their pastor. This is my own journey.
But ask Satan, he will tell you that this same man is one
of the biggest reasons hell is crying today. And yet,
nothing has even started yet.

I understand why some preachers dont want to talk


about their several struggles and mistakes. They don't
want to lose men. But, ironically, some of us have lost
everything that we have and right now, there is
nothing else left to lose. We don't need to attend revival
conferences to be reminded that if we dont hold God,
great will be the fall.

Congratulations if you are one of those scared of being

78
HARLOTS ON FIRE
scandalized. But I want to tell you that some of us,
scandals are afraid of us. The more scandals hell is
sponsoring the more he is doing free publicity for
God's burden in our hearts.

Satan's greatest problem now is that he doesn't know


what to do with us. Why will he fight a man that has
already 'failed'? Don't joke with a breed that has
nothing else left to lose. Never you mess around with
guys in Zion that have burned every bridge and right
now, God alone is their hope.

Why will I use Samsom while preaching against


fornication when I have done what Samson did? Stop
using old testament Delilah as an example while
preaching when you are a new testament Delilah. If
you have ever opened your leg for anybody inside
church, stop insulting Delilah.

Use yourself as example, please. We know that it was in


the past. Dont be afraid. We understand. But leave old
testament Delilah alone. We want to hear from the new
testament Delilah. Man of God, if you have ever done
what Samson did, then, leave Samson alone and use
yourself as example.

We have heard how much houses you have. We have


heard how many countries you have visited. We have
heard how many demons you have demolished, but,
we want to hear about how many times you failed. Tell
us how many times you fell before you conquered that
secret sin that held you down for years. If it is God that
brought us to you, we will not leave. But even if we get
disappointed and leave, know it that, we came on our
own. It wasn't God that brought us. But it wont be long,

79
F R O M H O LY G H O S T F I R E T O H E L P F I R E
people better than us will take over that space we
abandoned in your church.

God has never despised broken hearts and will never


ignore contrite spirits. Nobody that stands in the side
of pureness of heart before God loses in destiny. If this
generation of young ministers fear God the way we
fear scandals, we will live in purity. That is why many
gospel ministers are dying in secret sins.

Because we all want to keep putting on the form of


godliness, but, inside, we are denying the power
thereof. When a secret sin is exposed, it has 90 percent
chances of being terminated. I am a testifier of this
reality. I want to make heaven at the end of all these. I
don't want to preach about Holy Ghost fire and still end
in hell Fire.

I only want to wake up everyday, knowing that I didn't


offend God intentionally the other day. I love God more
than I love fame. I have seen some young men
struggling too hard to protect a name God has not even
made for them. Tell them that except the Lord protects
a city, the watchmen are watching in vain.

I didn't get born again because I wanted to become a


respected and popular preacher. God knows that I am
the most shy human being you might not have met his
kind before. If it was for fame, i would have chosen
many things other than preaching ministry.

I repented to become a child of God, not a man of God. I


served Satan even when I knew he didnt love me, and I
know how much I obeyed him.

That is why I hate it when I disobey God, because I
know how much He loves me. It pains me when I see
myself not living up to the standard I am supposed to.
Not because I am afraid of what people would say, but
because I want God to brag with me in my generation
the way He bragged with Job.

I am afraid! Many of this generation on pulpit looking


for Fire have forgotten that there is hell fire. In search
of rhema, we have forgotten eternity..In search of
depth and encounters we have lost the hunger for
holiness. I am talking to you as a survivor of Fire
without purity. There is little God can achieve through
a generation that has lost the fear of God.

God forbid that after all these prayer treks, 20hours


intense praying and chronic fasting, God will still be
looking for others that will do what He sent us to do.
Where you are now is a perfect place to ask the Holy
Ghost to please help your infirmities. Let Him give you
a fresh hunger for righteousness and deep anger
against sin.

Your heart is beating faster now, because you have


remembered how you masturbate and fornicate. You
have remembered how many times you have begged
God to help you to stop smoking and yet, you still see
yourself doing it. I too was there. Can I beg you to use
this weekend to pray and fast, as much as you can for
God to help you once and for all?

We will not be among those that will carry Fire to hell


Fire. God will not allow us to keep manifesting His
anointing on the pulpit while we are drowning in
secret sin at home. Don't ever think it's not possible to

83
F R O M H O LY G H O S T F I R E T O H E L P F I R E
stop that secret sin. If God helped your pastor and his
wife to overcome their own struggles, He will also help
you.

THIS IS WHY 90 PERCENT OF YOUNG PEOPLE THAT
ATTENDED REVIVAL MEETINGS LAST YEAR ONLY FELL
UNDER ANOINTING BUT DID NOT CONTACT ANY SINGLE FIRE

A postle Joshua Selman and Arome Osayi came to


town and you went there and fell under the
power and prayed for 5hours.

Evangelist Lawrence Oyor, Michael Orokpo and P.


Daniel came and you joined in the prayer Trek and
prayed for 12 hours.

You got back home and your pastor asked you to come
and pray for 1 hour, you ran away. The youths are
calling you for their vigils, you shunned them.

Weeks after, you heard that Prince Aigbovbioise, Femi


Lazarus, Lawal Suleiman and Joseph Japhet are
coming to your town, you rushed and started falling
under anointing. But when you came back you cant
join others to pray in your church.

If that is what you did last year, please, dont repeat it


this year. If not, you will never have any spiritual virtue
to show. God said we must pray, not only in popular
conferences. Not only when popular Fire preachers
come around.

He said that you will seek Him and find Him when you
seek with all your heart. Not, when you seek Him in

85
T H I S I S W H Y 9 0 P E R C E N T O F YO U N G P E O P L E T H AT

well advertised yearly revival meetings. I pity my


generation a lot, because many of us are passionately
looking for the God we can't recognize.

By the grace of God, I preach in popular revival


conferences. I encourage people to attend. As much as
I can afford, I pay their transportation to be in any
meeting when I see popular or unpopular revival
preachers are coming. I also attend. But, stop looking
for only celebrity preachers and popular revival
conferences. You will lose. Stop attending prayer
meetings based on the popularity of the guest
preachers.

They might not have anything to give you. The meeting


were God visited me for the first time in my life was on
a Camp of Faith field, with less than 15 people in
attendance.

The man of God that prophetically launched me into


this path I am on now was not known anywhere in the
world.

And till today, he is not popular. I have been searching


for him in all the popular revival meetings and I have
not seen him.

Yet, that day, when his hands touched my head, I didnt


know where I was again for over 4hours. Before I stood
up, everyone had left me there and gone.

But I stood up with something. Out of the first 50


people I shock their hands that day, about 20 were
slain by the power of God.
About 15 of them traced me to tell me how they started

86
HARLOTS ON FIRE
seeing me in their dreams preaching to them after I
shock their hands that day.

Some were healed instantly of some terminal sickness


that has cost them money. My younger colleague in the
school saw me and shock me hands that day when we
were greeting and the power of God hit her and she fell
under the power.

And began to crawl like snake in the public there. It was


the motor cycle people around that helped me conduct
deliverance on her that day.

It was one of them that drove her straight to her house


after God delivered her. Since that day, anytime, I am
passing that side, all of them will be calling me pastor,
begging me to pray for them.

I was not a pastor. I was just a young man that attended


an unpopular meeting and God visited me through an
unpopular man of God. This year, we will hear your
own testimony. There is nothing wrong attending
meetings of a man you have been seeing on Facebook
or listening to his audio messages.

But, dont look down on that small prayer group


meeting in your church. Don't neglect your local
church pastor. That is where God will see the travail of
your soul and get satisfied, before He decides to set you
on fire in a big meeting.

I never had the privilege to join others to attend


meetings of Uma Ukpai, Sam Tukura, Don Odunze etc.
Because I was serving under a small church of less than
7 members and we were always on the streets and

87
T H I S I S W H Y 9 0 P E R C E N T O F YO U N G P E O P L E T H AT

villages of Okigwe, Imo State, on evangelism. And, I


was praying 4hours, with my pastor every Thursday.
We did it for 4years.

It was such a boring time. Trust me, nothing is as


boring as praying with few people who are physically
tired. But my generation must get back to 'boring'
prayers again if we must strike any chord in the
chronicles of good things of God .

There is no generation that 'enjoys' prayer that can


have anything eternal to show. We are too happy in the
place of prayer. The razzmatazz is getting too much.
God must help us to go back to that dimension of
sowing in tears, so that we can reap in joy.

It is only when prayers are 'boring' that it can produce


majesty. This is the jamboree and picnic revival time of
the church. Please, don't be carried away. It is easy to
pray when many people are praying . But, that is not a
prayer life.

Ask God to help you this year, to have the strength to


pray where nobody is watching the way you pray
where everybody is watching. That is the prayer that
commands spiritual values. That was what rescued
Jacob. Moses often withdraw to pray alone. Elijah
came and groaned alone.

John the Baptist came and prayed alone. Jesus came


and alone, He groaned like thunder. Who is teaching
my generation that you must be in a popular meeting
with popular guest speakers before something will
drop?.

88
HARLOTS ON FIRE
Don't make that mistake this year. Wherever God is
hiding, we must look for Him. Whether in popular or
unpopular meetings. It will be known in history that
we are that generation that sought God until we found
Him.

He shall see the travail of our soul and He shall be


satisfied.

Let us pray!

JEZEBEL IS TOO POOR

A singer left the church and started singing in


Babylon because the church did not sponsor
him. And because of that you too have ran away
from choir, and now, you have started singing dirty
songs, so that you will 'blow' like Flavour.

Can I beg you for something, brother?. Never you make


any decision in this life that will make you an enemy to
God.

Never you be on the side of life that fights everything


Jesus stands for. Never you pursue any ambition that
doesn't have any eternal value in it. Never you accept
any invitation that declares you the enemy of your
soul.

God has a lot of problems in this world already. Please,


never you let the hungry for fan base make you add to
God's problems in our time.

Remove your eyes from Egyptian endorsements.


Amalek cannot make you a king. It is not a must that
everyone must blow. Can I tell you about a generation I
was born to meet in the church?.

I was born to meet a generation that sang in choir and

90
JEZEBEL IS TOO POOR

didnt blow. They were never celebrated.

They trekked. They went under rain and sun. They


were just happy that Jesus died for them and they were
ready to do everything to live for Him. Many of them
saw opportunities to sell their souls to hell in exchange
of accolades and big cars.

But they chose to stand for Jesus. Stop blaming the


church for not sponsoring you. If God wanted you to
blow by now, He knows how He would have done that.
Unlike Sinach, there was no populated church base
that made Mercy Chinwo and Preye to blow.

They found favour before God and it pleased God to


amplify their voices to this generation. I know many
people that can sing better than them, but when God
decided to favour a man, stop looking at his
inefficiencies.

Because the more you are looking for a way to rubbish


them the more God is decorating them. If I were you, I
would lock myself indoors, crying to God to anoint my
talents, so that I will use it to serve Him.

A gift that has not fed God cannot feed you. Don't be
among those praying for the kind of fame that will
bring shame to God. Babylon will give you
endorsements and big record deals. But Babylon will
make you a an perpetual enemy to God.

Satan has never given any man anything that made him
useful to God. Stop the blame God and go back to the
One that gave you the gift. There is no church that can
blow a man that has not found favour before God.

Leave this matter, boy. This year, ask God to help you
serve Him without an eye on any human recognition.
The more God sees that you dont have eye on all these
ephemeral celebrations the more He is causing this
same generation to celebrate you.

I have been alive for sometime now and I have seen it


that those who are begging for attention never gets
attention. You are richer than Babylon. A man who is
sure of where he will spend his eternity if Christ comes
now has already blown.

I have told Babylon that never will she see my knees.


Jezebel is too poor to pay for the oil upon the head of
Iyke Oriaku. The smallest choir member in the most

to come back to the church where God started with
them. Tell them that one day people will have to break
the door to bring their lifeless bodies out .

JEZEBEL IS TOO POOR

Don't for forget that nobody knows when his own


rapture will take place. If it is God that made Sinach,
Chioma Jesus and Mercy Chinwo, that God can still
make you.

The God that made Frank Edwards has not stopped


making others. Stop envying a man that is using his
gifts to export seduction into millions of homes and
minds. Someday, in the day of reckoning, he will pay for
every soul he shown a way to hell.

God, please, help this man, Iyke Iyke Oriaku. I have


made my choice. All the days of my appointed time will
I wait until my change comes. Endorsements or no
endorsements. Record deals or not. Fame or no fame.

I'll love Him more better than in days of yore


I'll serve Him more truly than every before
I'll do as he bids me whatsoever the cost
I'll be a true soldier
I'll die at my post

Friends, if this looks like your cry.

Then, let us pray!

SISTER, THIS MIGHT BE THE ONLY REASON THE MAN
YOU WANT TO MARRY DOES NOT WANT TO MARRY YOU.

Y ou just started seeing your period. You have not


learnt any trade. You don't have any skill.

No vision. No passion. Nothing great to look forward


to. No idea and no definite drive for anything. You are
already carrying anointing oil from here to here.
Looking for a preacher that will prophesy to you that
you will marry this year.

When you talk it looks as if a primary school girl is


talking. You have not read any book and finished it.
There is no conference or seminar you are interested
in. No power. No wealth of knowledge.

The only thing you know is all the prayer houses where
they promise people miracle marriage. The only
meetings you attend are those places where they kill
enemies and slap demons.

Once again, this might be why the man you want to


marry does not want to marry you. You are too empty
to be his helpmeet . Love is not enough. Anyone can
love him more than you.

There is nothing so special about your love. But when


you add value to your life, you will not have only love to

94
S I S T E R , T H I S M I G H T B E T H E O N LY R E A S O N T H E M A N

give. Drop that bottle of anointing oil and ask God to


open your eyes and show you something about
yourself that will add value to your life. Anointing does
not bring marriage. Value does.

Don't let 'church' give you injury. Dont become one of


the 'victims' of anointing oil. Dont use the time you
should use to be learning trade and acquiring trade
and be following men of God around to anoint you.

Marriage is not a miracle. Because Jesus said: "our


heavenly father in heaven knows that we have need of
these things...”

When I see ladies that gets married and people will be


congratulating them, that they are lucky, I wonder why.
How can a lady be crying for joy, that God made her got
married?.

When she is the one with the favour the man is looking
for. When she is with the good thing the man has lived
all his life looking for. When it is a man that should be
dancing, crying for joy, for getting married to her.
Africa has not been fair to the unmarried ladies.

The church is not helping matters also. That is why


there is anxiety all over the place. Once children starts
developing breasts, we start telling them about
marriage.

We have not taught them how to become another


phenomenal writer like Chimaammada Ngozi Adichie.
Some of them have books they should have written
that God wanted to use to make them superstars in this
generation.

95
JEZEBEL IS TOO POOR

Some have business ideas and skills they should have


been trading with now that should have taken them
before kings. While some of us in the church are busy
giving them assignments, so that they will marry. They
abandoned those ideas God gave them and are
climbing from one mountain to the other.

From one marathon fasting to the other. From one


night vigil to another night of Fire. Just because of
marriage. Friends, to me, everything is wrong with
that. Go and develop yourself and be praying as you are
doing that.

Record that song in your heart. Start that organization


in your mind. Don't use the time you should be
increasing in value to be climbing mountains in search
of husband.

Any marriage they got from the mountain might also


be sending you to the mountain in order to maintain it.
God told us to be anxious for nothing. Anything that
comes from the corridor of value is preserved.

I want to see a generation of ladies that doesn't care if


they are married or not. Yet, they will be developing
themselves. Adding value to value. Because there is a
kind of value they will wield, it will be impossible for
them to beg men to marry them.

Sister, work on your character. Serve God in sprint and


in truth, not because you are expecting marital
breakthrough. Sow seed into God's work, out of love
for God, not because a sweet mouth preacher told you
how someone sowed seed and got married in
2months.

96
HARLOTS ON FIRE
Those are Babylonians methods. There is nothing
wrong attaching prayer request to the seeds you are
sowing. But if the only time you are touched to sow
seed to Gods works is when they promise you marital
breakthrough, then, you are still a stranger in Zion.

Nobody promises you marriage before you know you


will change the curtain in your sitting room. Because
you have seen it as yours . Nobody should also invite a
special prophet to come and use both true and false
testimonies to raise money from you to change the
curtain of the altar of the church you belong.

If they still hire prophets to get money from you, you


are still a Babylonian. You have not taken the House of
God as yourself yet.

Could it be why all the ones you have sown have not
worked?. Because they were motivated by your
selfishness and not love. Their is Just one prayer you
will make and God will open your eyes and show you
the area of your life to develop that will make you a
sought for.

Ruth did not attend any deliverance service before the


best man in the land noticed and married her. All she
did was to add value. Thank God you have gone for
deliverance and come back. Please, its time to go look
for value.

Men might not tell you. But they hate it when it is only
marriage that you are living and waiting for. How can
you not have any dream you are pursuing?

How can you just be living only for your wedding day?

97
JEZEBEL IS TOO POOR

All your talents and skills, you have suspended all of


them. When a man in church says hi, you will start
wishing him to propose.

And when he doesn't, you will stop greeting him. The


only men you reply their Chats are men you wish to get
married to. And when you see their wedding pictures,
you will stop charting them up.

And start chatting others who are not married yet.


What a cheap and fake life. If you have value, sister, you
will not even be too conscious of marriage. Who you
are will attract who you desire. Stop chasing who you
desire. Build who you are. It won't be long, your worth
will attract your kind.

Dont let them lie to you. You are worth more than who
you have made yourself. It is not you that should be
carrying anointing oil looking for husband. It is the
men that should be going for deliverance, so that you
will accept them.

I understand the loneliness. I know time is going. They


are even mocking you. But many times, what God is
waiting for is for you to add value. The man He has
designed for you will not like you the way you are now.
That man might not just be crazy about beauty or the
tongues you speak. He might not even be looking for a
virgin.

He might just be looking for capacity. He might be


looking for A lady that has developed from inside.
Someone that can handle value. Thank God for all your
different choir robes and ushering department
uniform.

98
HARLOTS ON FIRE
But please, its time to add something to something.
The demons holding your marital breakthrough have
been driven away. Now God is waiting for you to take it
from there.

This year, I will attend your wedding. Not


encouragement marriage. Not consolation marriage.
But God will give you the kind of man you have desired
all your life .

In Jesus Name.

Let us pray!.

WHEN I USE TO MINGLE WITH PROSTITUTES, THESE
ARE THE THINGS I WILL NEVER FORGET.

A fter clubbing, I will discuss price with a


particular lady and take her either to home or
to hotel. I will have my condom while she too
will come with hers.

She will drink and smoke while I will drink and smoke.
But after the sex, before some of them stands up, they
would start their devotions. You will see them praying
and crying, asking God to please, forgive them.

Sometimes, if it is in their own hotel rooms, early


morning, they will start playing gospel worship songs,
crying to God for mercy. How they will be crying to God
will make you wonder if they are really the same
people you saw in the night stripping naked.

Friends, there are still potential vessels inside the


valleys. I know you have not touched 'ashawo' before. I
also know that while inside your mothers womb you
made a covenant with your eyes not to behold iniquity.

But please, some of us that Intentionally refused to


make such covenants with our eyes those days have
something to tell you. There is an prostitutes that just
finished sleeping with a man now that is on her knees,

100
begging God to please, help her life. There is another
one that still observes fasting and praying, even while
she is hustling, just for God to show her mercy and use
her.

Some of them use to be strong in Christ many years


ago, but the wind of life blew them out of alignment
and they landed as the dregs of humanity today.

They are tired of having different men climbing them,


but yet, they can't leave the hotel. Some of them, money
is not even their problems again. There problem is that
there is no society that will accept them again.

Some of them are wearing some dreadful tattoos that


will scare both friends and families away from them.
That is why they are still where they know nobody will
stigmatize them.

But trust me, there is something I saw in them that is


calling me back to them again. This time, not as an
'ashawo man' again, but as a deliverer. The bible said
that they are in prison holes and none is saying restore.

How can we all be busy from year to year on pulpit, yet,


none is saying RESTORE?. In all these our busy
schedules, who do we really preach to when from year
to year, we don't take our Fire to those that needs it
most.

Can I beg you to listen to what I am sensing in the


Spirit?. I am sensing strongly that we are in the
DECADE OF HARLOTS.
101
You will suddenly see a popular prostitute in your
town begin to preach Jesus from market to market.
And when you ask her, she will tell you that a
secondary school girl just came and prayed for her and
that night, in her dream, she saw Jesus 20 times and the
next morning, she became an evangelist.

You will see a guy known for falling and rising in that
church, as he will begin to do great things for God. And
when you ask him, he will tell you that a small boy in
that community came and encouraged him and from
that day, he has never fallen again.

Friends, God is only looking for the Prophet Ezekeils


that He will raise in this generation and send them to
the valley of dry bones. To go and prophesy to these
gifted boys and girls that must not be allowed to
remain in the valley.

I dont want to be remembered for preaching in the


biggest pulpits in this generation. I dont want to be
loved because I was hanging around with the strong
and mighty in the church today.

You want to be known as Elijah. Me, I want to be known


as an Ezekeil. You want to call down Fire. Me, I want to
raise dry bones back to life.

Please, leave me alone. I have made my choice..., You


want to be on billboards. Please, leave us in the valley.
Soon, God will use us to raise an army that will do a
quick work in our time. Oh Lord, I want my name to be
linked to the salvation of popular prostitutes and drug
102
addicts that God will use to bring mighty revivals to
their communities. I dont even have a choice, because
if I dont align with this divine programming, heaven
will bypass me and raise another.

I don't know about you. But, there are many guys who
have gone inside to ask God for fresh ideas to reach
those who will never go to church from year to year.

They are not interested in your billboards and


honorariums. I know some of them already. And I can
see that this year 2020, all eyes will be on them. And by
their hands, Jesus will draw many unto Himself.

I dont know what is burning in your heart for God this


2020, but in case you want to be useful to God in such
unusual dimensions.

Then, bow your head and let us pray!

103
18
“SATAN, YES,
I DID IT. SO WHAT?”

T hey might not be holier than you. They only


engage in different sins from yours. Don't
bother asking them because they will not
accept it. Yours might be public, but theirs is still in the
secret.

Don't let what they say about you discourage you from
serving God. If God is leading you, go ahead and take
the microphone straight to the street of that woman in
church that saw you when you were messing up last
week.

If God is leading you to start preaching in front of her


house, don't be afraid of what name she will call you.
Go ahead. Make altar calls for sinners in front of her.
Lead them to Christ in front of her. If she has the love of
God in her, she will celebrate what God is using you to
do. But if she is a Pharisee, she will ignore what God is
doing with you and keep talking about what you did
last week.

Unfortunately, those are the kinds of people that are


littered everywhere in the name of revival. If your
revival message has gotten you to a point where you

104
“ S ATA N , Y E S , I D I D I T. S O W H AT ? ”
can never acknowledge what God is using someone to
do because of your sentiments against that person, you
have become an anti-Christ. You need God more than
the person to whom you are serving as a referee in her
walk with God.

Sister, don't let people quench your love for God


because of their own love for God. Don't let any man or
woman use his public display of holiness to intimidate
you because of your own pace with God. Go back to
campus, organize that little crusade and win souls into
the kingdom. Don't be afraid that you will fall into that
sin again.

Such fear of what people will say when they see that
they have done it again has kept a lot of people from
doing anything at all for God. The truth is this: even if
such people see you in heaven now, they will rather
jump into hell fire and burn there than stay in the same
heaven with you.

To them, you are a hopeless hypocrite, but to God, you


are a hopeful student who is still struggling in the
school of majesty. Stop killing yourself; they will never
believe you again. They may not give you the
microphone again to sing in that church, but don't
worry; surrender to God totally and He will soon fix
you. And someday,(I pray for that day to be now) He
will give you nations of the world to sing to.

Once again, stop feeling afraid that you will fall again.
Trust me, you won't. But even if you fall again, it is

105
HARLOTS ON FIRE
nobody's business. Nobody died for you. Just kneel
down there and then and ask God for forgiveness. He
will forgive you. If they have an idea of what is chasing
you to quench the love of God in you, they will know
that God is calling them busy body.

You saw a young man whose mates are eating excreta


as part of the ritual sacrifice to make money, but he is in
church every day. You saw a girl whose mates are
dancing naked in clubs every night, following all the
men that show interest, but she is coming to church
under the rain and sun, singing in the choir.

Instead of you to thank God that she is even close to


where God will help her life, all you see is when she
falls into sin. Her mates are using Facebook to practise
prostitution; they take their nude pictures and use
them to get men into cybersex, but she is using her own
space to preach Jesus the little way she can.

She has not become perfect yet, but God is not


ashamed to be called her God. Yet, all you can say about
her is that she is coming on Facebook to use God to
deceive people. Will you be happier if that girl, like
others, go after internet fraudsters all over the place
for their ill-gotten wealth and probably end up being
used for blood money rituals? Is it not better that she
keeps hanging around church, 'deceiving' us, falling
and rising, until God finishes what He started with her?

Brother, when we hear words seasoned with grace we


know. When we hear Pharisees we also know. Leave

106
“ S ATA N , Y E S , I D I D I T. S O W H AT ? ”
those people alone. Rather, redirect your energy into
reviving that prayer group you abandoned. Start that
class fellowship again. Jesus who died for you said that
He is faithful and just to forgive you and He has
forgiven you.

Grace is actually hyper. There is nothing you will do


that God cannot forgive and there is no amount of time
you will sin in a day that God will not forgive. But falling
and rising keeps you in the same level in the school of
power. You cannot keep failing a particular exam and
expect to be promoted in school. God will forgive, but
what about the promotion?

Any man that wants to grow should outgrow 'falling


and rising' Christianity. You should have out-grown
where you are now. Let that sink into you, so that you
will stop celebrating answering altar call over a
particular sin every Sunday service. But whatever
happens, make sure you don't kill that vision because
of your personal struggles.

Your pastor might have something he is battling with.


Mine might be different from yours. I can't use my own
triumph to set a standard as to when you should
outgrow yours. We all have different histories. If I faced
what you have faced, maybe, I would not even be
talking about Jesus today. It is wickedness to use your
level of power to intimidate others. Anybody inside the
church using his level of holiness to fight another
person needs to understand what love is all about. If
you love God, you will help another person love God
the more.
107
HARLOTS ON FIRE
You don't know how deep that lady was into
lesbianism before she accepted Jesus. But because you
saw her go back to it, you are now preaching about her
predicament every Sunday. Without her, it seems, you
won't have another message to preach to your
congregation as all your Facebook messages are
centered on her. I ask you: don't you have a burden?

If other people's failings are all you preach in that


church, go back to God and ask Him to give you a
message. You probably need to go back to God to give
you what to preach to your generation. You are still a
passionate messenger without a message.

You will survive that addiction! God will deal with


those evil memories! If He has not done it yet, don't let
it stop you from what you should be doing for Him.
Start that morning cry again. Let them hear your voice
and keep calling it hypocrisy. But before their eyes,
they will see how God will use you to do mighty things
to the shame of the devil. And it will not be long, you
will look for those personal struggles and not see them
again!

I have been there and I know how it works. I have been


through the shame and I can relate with the acridity.
But don't worry, your love for God will attract help
from above against that matter. That shame you are
suffering now will make it urgent for God to end that
issue forever. He did it in my life. The shame my secret
struggles brought to me opened me up to another side
of God. If you are genuinely seeking God, He will also
do it for you.

108
“ S ATA N , Y E S , I D I D I T. S O W H AT ? ”
Go and look for a place where they will mock you for
the gospel. Do things for God that will get Satan mad at
you. Carry out gospel ideas that will scare that Satan
who thought you will never talk about God again. Let
them keep calling you fake and let God keep adding
grace to grace. The chips will soon be down and it will
be evident that God uses the weak things of this world
to confound the wise.

He gives strength to the weak; strength to those that


faint. You are not the first person going through what
you are struggling with. Don't tell people what you
should be telling God. They will use what you told them
to mock you tomorrow. How can you have the God of all
the flesh by whom nothing is impossible and you
abandon Him, in search of mere human beings that
cannot help you?

Run to God in prayer! It might look as if you still go back


to that same thing, but don't let it stop you from telling
God about it. He will surely show up. I have seen serial
rapists and homosexuals that cried to God in the midst
of their struggles and heaven helped them. I have seen
prostitutes that lived in different hotels for decades
who got so much addicted to clubbing and sex that
they go suicidal without it.

I have seen drug addicts and chronic lesbians. They


tried all manner of methods to help themselves, but
they failed. They were disgraced. Some of them were
rusticated from their institutions. Some were
suspended and excommunicated in their churches.

109
HARLOTS ON FIRE
They lived in shame and worse of it all, they were still
battling with those dirty spirits. But when they ran to
God and cried to Him, He touched them and the
addiction was broken. Today, they are free forever.
Some of them, today, God is using them to do mighty
things to His glory and to the shame of the devil.

Maybe why you are still struggling with that dirty


spirit is because you have not yet yielded to God totally.
Maybe, you are not ready to sell out to Him. You just
want Him to save you from the spirit of homosexuality
because of the social stigma it has, not because you
have decided to allow God to take over your body
which is the temple of the living God.

Sin is sin. Whether you do it with same sex or someone


that is not your spouse. Many people who are not
lesbians and homosexuals will go to hell when they die.
Some ladies that never slept with married men but
kept desecrating their body which is the temple of the
living God with their boyfriends will make hell if they
don't repent.

Don't ask God to help you stop stealing when you are
comfortable lying. Don't tell Him to help you stop
smoking when you don't see anything wrong with the
spirit of jealousy. You need Jesus. When you are ready
to have Jesus as your Personal Lord and Saviour, it will
be clear.
If you are tired of singing the Lord's song in a strange
land, you have to tell God to help you. Since
professional counselors and psychologists have not

110
“ S ATA N , Y E S , I D I D I T. S O W H AT ? ”
helped you, will you not try Jesus? I was a victim of
addictions. I know what it means to preach revival and
still go back after the meeting to smoke cigarettes.

I wasn't happy about it, but I could not stop it. As a


preacher, who would I tell that would not mock me?
The few people I was comfortable to do it when they
were around tried to cover me. They were not happy
about it, but there was nothing they too could do to
help me out of it. A time came when the shame it
produced forced me back to Jesus. I made up my mind
to stop it.

God saw how serious I was and He showed up. Today,


that demonic appetite has given way. God is glorified
today in my body. Can I beg you to bow your knees
where you are now and tell God to move by His mighty
power in your life? Can you tell Him to remove
everything in your life mocking His Name in your
relationship with Him?

I am standing with you in prayer, trusting that by the


time you drop this book, you will look for that struggle
and won't see it again. In Jesus' Name! Let us pray!

MY WEAKNESSES LIED TO ME

W hen our generation only knows how to sow


their money as seeds in church but cannot
sow their lives to God, it is a sign that we
need a revival. When we are a generation that can
empty our bank accounts and sow to preachers, but
cannot empty our lives to carry the power of God, it is a
sign that we still need God more than we ever know it.

When the only verses of the scriptures we read are


those that have promises of money attached and no
one is telling us to: "Consider thy ways?" then, there is a
need for God to visit us again. When there is no one that
can afford to lose everything to enter the mission's
field, face the mockery by friends and foes, all for the
gospel, it is a way to know that God has not succeeded
in our generation yet.

If all we are being taught is that success and evidence


in ministry is how many cars we have, how many
churches we preach in, how many members we have
and how many countries we have travelled to, it shows
that they have succeeded in raising spiritual imbeciles
that will inevitably disgrace the cause of the Cross.

Let them not bother building more beautiful


112
MY WEAKNESSES LIED TO ME
cathedrals, because when they die, the generation they
are leaving behind might not go into them to worship
God. If what we are hearing now in Christendom is all
that the gospel is, then, the generation of our father's
made a mistake for abandoning all in pursuit of the
heartbeat of the Master.

It seems as if no one talks about evangelism again.


Everywhere you turn to some preachers are making
God a beggar. Sow this seed and so that seed. You
worship God in a church for a whole year and no one
has bothered to talk about where you will spend your
eternity. Rather, the discourse revolves around
miracles. If that was what our fathers were told when
they first believed, we would not have met the
Pentecostal fire we met. Don't let any church lie to you:
many who were faithful in paying tithes are in hell fire
now because they were financially faithful to churches,
where, perhaps, nobody reminded them of eternity.
Unfortunately, it is already too late for them to change
church.

Hear me, sister, Jesus did not die for you to have money.
You don't need to be close to Him before you become
wealthy. Even Satan makes people wealthy. If it was
just for you to have more money in your account, Jesus
would never have come. The rich were in existence
before He came. He only came so that your billions will
not separate you from God and ultimately send you to
hell.

I am happy that there is an army God is raising in

113
HARLOTS ON FIRE
different places. That is the army that will halt the
progression of this Babylonian transaction prevalent
in our days. This army will not lie to this generation. I
write this with tears flowing down my cheeks here.

I can see some of them rising from the back seats of


their churches where they have been suspended
because of the things they did or the things they failed
to do. In their weaknesses and fewness, they are
getting ready. Not necessarily to come and rent halls to
open more churches. They are not getting ready to
start looking for church positions.

If you have taken microphone from them, don't worry,


they will use megaphones. If you stop them from
singing in the choir, they will start singing in the
streets. If you stop hosting them, they will take their
cry to bus stops and busy roundabouts. If nobody
wants to listen to them, they will enter the secret place
of the Most High where they will never lack attention.
And when they come out, this generation will hear
them and bow.

God is training them in the valleys of lack, want, pains,


shame, despair and loneliness. Some of them have
failed everywhere else. They have disappointed both
themselves everyone else, including God. They have
feasted on their vomit and now they are tired. There is
a hidden cry in their hearts, to see a mighty move of
God again in our time and to feature in it. Go close to
them and hear their secret cry.

114
MY WEAKNESSES LIED TO ME
They may not know how to quote many scriptures yet.
They might not have started praying for up to four
hours every day. Babylon might still be contending
with their souls. They fall today, rise tomorrow, fall
again and still rise again. We might not want to use
them, because to us, they are too weak to represent the
Cross. But before our eyes, we are going to see how God
will wash them, cleanse them and use them.

To our greatest amazement they will pioneer, to the


glory of God, a churchless revival that will be strange in
the pages of history.

I am happy that there are many denominations and


ministries raising that breed of men and women.
When you see them groaning under intense burden,
you will know that Satan is in a fresh trouble. Don't be
surprised when you see that boy that used to smoke
Indian Hemp, as God would have started using his
feeble hands to raise the dead in that same street
where he has been known as a chain smoker.

Don't be in church counting the names of all the ladies


that sleep with married men. You will be surprised that
the one you caught last week would have cried to God
for mercy and just a decision she made yesterday
would have changed her spiritual identity, while you
will still be busy looking for who you will go and tell
that you caught her inside a hotel with a man last
month.

Stop looking for the living among the dead. If not, you

115
HARLOTS ON FIRE
will end up a spectator in Zion. And before your eyes,
heaven will use that lady to do mighty revivals that will
cut across tongues and languages. That young man
that has stopped coming to church might encounter
Jesus afresh this night and the next time you see him in
church and shake his hands, the power of God might
hit you and it will take you a whole day to recover from
the fire that will engulf you.

If learned men have become too sophisticated to


manifest God, then, unlearned men might be needed. If
holy people have become too religious to interpret the
mind of God, then, God is about to release his grace to
the ghettos. The man you called drug addict yesterday
might have become a God addict today. I pray that we
will not end up becoming onlookers in this coming
move of God's power, which will be characterized by
incredible manifestations by the hands of babes and
suckling babes.

As you are reading this, your spirit is bearing witness


that you are a part of the army God is raising in our
time. But there are certain things you remember that
makes you feel you are too unqualified to be enlisted in
this army.

Your weaknesses are lying to you. Your fears are lying


to you. Those that used to know you in the church
where you were are lying to you. Your past is lying to
you. Even your present struggles are also lying to you.
The truth is that God is about to use you more than you
have ever imagined. I wish you will go back to your

116
MY WEAKNESSES LIED TO ME
knees again. I wish you would have seen the need to
stop looking unto the hills for help and start looking up
to the God that made heaven and the earth. I wish you
will look for those friends again that used to visit you
and will pray with you for many hours.

Stop lying to yourself, that you cannot be used by God.


If there is anyone God has ever used, He can still use
you. He doesn't just want to use only your pastor. Your
prophet is doing fine, but God also want to use you.
That your prayer life that has been drained by guilt
needs to encounter Jesus again. If you woke up from
sleep this morning, there is something God wants to
use you to do in our time. He didn't give you life for you
to start living for Satan.

Many are already in hospitals begging for just one


more chance to live for God. If you are healthy and
alive, don't waste divine investments buried in you
because of who you are presently. Cry to God today and
ask Him to restore unto you that fire you used to have.
Cry to Him again to touch you in that sensitive area
Satan dribbles you from. Don't postpone this prayer
topic. There is a kind of joy you will never have again
until you step into what God has asked you to do for
Him.

That prayer life is still possible. That passion for souls


is still possible. That victory over that addiction and
habit is still possible. That ability to sustain a fast for
days is still possible. Those hands of yours can still heal
the sick. Those dreams you used to have where you

117
HARLOTS ON FIRE
raised the dead is still possible.

You cannot end your life this way. Something


spiritually valuable can still be written concerning
you. Even if you fall again, stand up and don't let Satan
write the story of your life for you. Jesus loves you and
cannot wait to see you hand over your fears and falls
over to Him. He is the only One that knows how to
convert your mess into a message.

Your pastor had his own mess. If he had gone back to


Babylon because of it, he would not have had the
opportunity to be used of God today. I, IykeOriaku, the
author of this book, have had too many of them and
God is still helping me daily. That man of God spitting
fire on television might have his. But in all these, God
will not leave us without hope. He is not ashamed to be
called our God.

Don't let your present picture abort the prophecies of


your future. Don't let what you are going through spell
doom to where you are going to. From next week,
anyone that sees you will see that something from
heaven has happened to you. If you are ready for a
fresh walk with God, then, let us pray!

THIS IS THE GREATEST LIE I TOLD MY GENERATION

I lied to you if I have ever told you that there weren't


times I fell into the same things I preached against.
It is not true if you think that as a child of God, I
have not fallen severally before. Any one who told you
that I have been stainless since I started preaching the
gospel lied to you. But if you still think that I am there,
you are now the one lying to me. Don't be in a hurry to
say you love me yet until you know my story, because
my stories might irritate you. But if you hear my story
and still love me, what a friend you are indeed!

As I was with some Bible students recently, I began to


tell them my story and they were surprised. They
expected to hear stories of the moves of God and other
pockets of revivals that God has used my hands to
wrought. They were surprised when I began to tell
them about myself; my falls; my struggles; my
hypocrisies; my regrets and my fears, not the days
when I was sitting in the pew, but even these times that
I have been carrying microphones and preaching
revival. They could not hide it that they were
surprised. In great tears, we shared burdens together.
But by the time we were through, God touched us all
and for over 2 hours, all of us were on the floor, crying
for Grace to keep us firm in this race.
119
T H I S I S T H E G R E AT E S T L I E I T O L D M Y G E N E R AT I O N
Friends, sometimes the fear of what people will say or
think about your image will make you remain a lie. And
some people have lived all their lives like that till they
died. Just because they don't want to lose some friends,
some pulpits or some positions, they lost God.

If God loves you, He will bring you to a point where you


will invite everyone to come and see the skeletons
inside your cupboard. If He loves you, He will bring you
to the point where you will not care about covering
your dirty image. If not, you will go to hell because of
the skeletons in your cupboard.

This book was written under serious penitence.


Please, Sir, don't wish to be buried in the graveyards of
Egypt because of the fear of the consequences of the
things your carnality and hypocrisy drove you to. Stop
empowering Satan, the accuser of your soul. Many
people are heading to hell, not because of what they
did, but because of how they covered the things they
did. Yet, I have seen men who God used more than He
was using before they messed up because of the
repentance spirit. If I have a choice to make, I would
choose the latter.

May you not finish running this race and at the end, go
to hell, not because of the things you did, but because
of what you did about the things you did!

If Satan misses you in the street, he will wait for you in


the church. If he has seen your determination to follow
God without compromise into the future, he will use
120
HARLOTS ON FIRE
what you have done to fight you. But whenever the
only strong weapon of the enemy against you is your
past, don't worry, God has heard your prayers. The
Blood that paid for your sins will speak for you, unless
it has not become your past yet. But if you have bared it
all to the Master, don't worry, God will restore you and
even if He doesn't restore you immediately, it is better
you live every day knowing that you will make heaven
if rapture takes place now, than to be busy polishing a
damaged image that is taking you to hell.

Stop praying to see glory when you are living in deep


sin, so that you don't carry glory to hell fire. If there is
still anything you are still afraid for anyone to hear, it
means that your past might not have come to pass.
Lose men, if you can't help it, but please, may you not
lose God.

For once, sir, accept who you were. Don't let Satan use
who you should have been to lay ambush against who
God wants you to be. Don't let what you did for Satan
discourage you from what you should do for God. Many
times what we should have done haunts us into silence
against what we should be doing; Satan hides inside
the shameful life of errors we lived to threaten the fire
of God in us, and to diffuse every enthusiasm we have
for Jesus.

You don't know how many men of God that have


stopped preaching against fornication because they
fornicated some time ago. They don't fornicate again.
They are truly renewed, but they are afraid to preach

121
T H I S I S T H E G R E AT E S T L I E I T O L D M Y G E N E R AT I O N
against sin because of the stigma of what they did.
Satan is using the things they did to silence the voice of
truth God is raising through them. And that is his very
smart way to fight the men on whose lives God's Hand
is resting on.

He wants you to stop singing in choir because you


committed fornication and abortion last year. He
wants you to not preach to anyone again about Jesus
because you know that they know the history of your
'spiritual instabilities'. He wants you not to preach
against falsehood and false prophets because you have
once done some of the things they are doing.

He knows you have repented but he is still using it


against you. Poor Satan! He doesn't know that we are
not ignorant of his devices. He didn't die for you, so,
why should you owe him an explanation of what you
did against the Person that died for you?

“Whosoever the Son has set free is free indeed.”And that


settles the matter!

But the real freedom comes only when you have


nothing else to hide. When “the prince of this world will
come but will have nothing to find in you”. True freedom
comes, not when you have stopped fornicating with
married men but are still fornicating with your
boyfriend who has proposed marriage. True freedom
comes when you have made up your mind to stand for
Jesus, no matter the cost. The last person that will
forgive you is who you were. Your greatest enemy is
122
HARLOTS ON FIRE

what you don't do again!

Cucumber and Onions were angry because they knew


that the Israelites were headed off to eat Milk and
Honey. You have left Egypt, but Pharaoh will make sure
that you do not get to the Promised Land. He will fight
you with heartbreaks, poverty and pains. What you
used to get before will just suddenly stop coming.
Before your eyes, things will start turning the other
way round, negatively. Yet, you have remained faithful
to Christ. You are not the only one who has faced such
moments. You are not the only that has been to Egypt,
so don't kill yourself. Don't apologies to your mess.

It is better to keep moving gradually in the wilderness


than to go back to the bondage of Pharaoh. Your
spiritual growth might look very slow, but make sure
you keep moving. Who knows, this might be the month
God will decide to stage an event that will launch you
into another level of power, both with God and with
men.

I am so sure that this will not be the end of your story.


Soon, many will hear your testimony and give glory to
God in heaven. In Jesus Name, let us pray!

123

EVEN JESUS CHRIST HAD ERECTIONS

M aybe you got married as a virgin! Everyone


knew you were holy while growing up. You
never slept with anyone until your wedding
night. Congratulations!

But, please, when you are talking to some of us who


were not as disciplined as you were, take it easy. You
are a stranger to our world. You don't know where we
are coming from. You don't understand our struggles
and what is hunting us. You are totally alien to anything
about us.

Some of us lived with our girlfriends and boyfriends


throughout our days in the university. Some of us
never had a particular weekend we did not spend in
the arms of either those that loved us or those that
lusted after us. No matter how much we speak in
tongues today, some of those memories still creep back
into our minds, calling our names to go back to those
things we have abandoned.

You don't know what it is to be deceived by the man or


woman you love. You don't know what it means for
someone to show serious concern about you – paying
124
EVEN JESUS CHRIST HAD ERECTIONS
your bills and showing you love. We were vulnerable.
Some of us gave in totally, thinking it was right to pay
them back with our bodies. But when they had had
enough of us, they dumped us and moved on.

Yes, we have forgiven and forgotten but the memories


have not been easy to erase. We remember our past
whenever we feel cold and how we could have been
cuddled by our ex-lovers. Yes, we still sing in the choir.
We still lead prayer sessions and preach Jesus to
people. But there are things we are still struggling
with.

Please, when you see us yield to temptation, kindly


have pity on us. Condemn what you saw us doing, but
don't condemn us. If you throw us away from church,
you are sending us back to hopelessness. Please, don't
throw us back to vulnerability. We know what we went
through when we were far away from God. We may be
slow in spiritual maturity, but we will definitely get
there. If God could use a harlot like Rahab, we trust
Him to also use us.

Friend, in case this is where you are now, you are not
alone. Some of us were exactly where you are now. I
know that within you, you are ready to surrender
totally to God. Every Sunday you go to God and beg for
forgiveness. Yet, within the week, you still go back to
the same things you asked God to forgive you for. We
were there too. Some of us went to church with packets
of cigarettes in our wallets. We put condoms in the
same wallet we put the money for our offerings.
125
HARLOTS ON FIRE
Some of us sang in the same choir with our girlfriends.
We had the Bible in one hand and Indian hemp in the
other. We knew it was dangerous to our health, yet, the
demonic appetites were still there. We preached
revival to others even when we needed revival more
than them. We locked ourselves up many times and
cried to God to either help us or take our lives. Yet,
things did not change.

Some churches rejected us. Some fellow ministers


gave up on us and warned people never to get close to
us. Some friends that knew about our struggles did not
help the matter when they intentionally entertained
people with what they knew about us. The stigma was
huge.

We were in that pitiful state until Heaven looked into


our hearts and raised men that came for us. God
brought men that worked on us with the word of God.
They saw beyond the smell of cigarette that clung on
us. They looked beyond the stories of our sins that led
to several abortions. They were not ashamed to be
associated with us publicly even after hearing stories
of our several spiritual inconsistencies.

When others were running away from us, calling us


deceivers, they saw beyond the things we did and
believed in us. Shortly, thereafter, heaven invaded our
lives. Today, to the shame of the devil, “the darkness is
past and the light now shines.” 1 John 2:8. Hallelujah!

If you have seen the hand of God upon your life and you
126
EVEN JESUS CHRIST HAD ERECTIONS
are still struggling to live right with God, the first
miracle you need is for God to send someone to help
you out. If what you need is spiritual stability, you don't
need a man that will only be prophesying financial
open doors to you. If all he does is pray for you
whenever you sow a financial seed, you are not covered
yet. May God relocate you from such a place! May He
cause a sharp enmity between you and any 'man or
woman of God' that is lying to you!

Yes, I know that Jesus came in the flesh. He suffered


and went through all that we are going through today!
He had an erection the way you have too. As a human,
He was familiar with our common weaknesses. But
why He was able to conquer his flesh was because his
vision was stronger than His flesh.

There was something He saw about His future. He saw


all power in heaven and on earth being given to Him.
He saw twenty-four elders and all the angels
worshipping Him, and shouting: “Holy! Holy! Holy!” He
saw Himself sitting at the right hand of God. He knew
that He could not afford to allow fleshly lusts to destroy
His vision. This made him victorious.

Friend, I don't know the vision you have. I don't know


where you see yourself in the next ten years. Don't let
the flesh keep you away from your vision. If you are
still messing up with people in your choir because they
are all over you, your destiny is in trouble. Your pastor
may not know what you are doing because you are
hiding your illicit relationship. Stop deceiving
yourself! Wake up! The hypocrisy is already speaking

127
HARLOTS ON FIRE
against your destiny.

You think Joseph did not see anything before he ran


away from Potiphar's wife? You think he also did not
have erection? You think there was nothing Daniel saw
about his future that made him refuse to defile himself
with the portion of the king's meat? Moses must have
seen something great about his future that made him
reject being called the son of Pharaoh.

The decisions you make tell, to a large extent, how big


your vision is. When I see your circle of friends, I can
tell how far you want to go in life. Your value in life is
measured by your ability to protect what you have
seen about your future. If you are afraid to lose some
friends, then, you are not ready to manifest
prophecies. For how long will you be pampered in
church? When will you make up your mind to say NO
and mean it? A time comes in every man's life when he
will have to stop falling and start rising. That marks the
beginning of that man's walk in glory.

Imagine all that Jesus would have missed out on if He


had allowed His flesh to control Him. There would
have been no redemption for you and I and no divine
access to the Holy of Holies. He would have died and
not risen. Jesus Christ, the Son of God, would still been
in the grave now if He had not bridled His emotions. Oh
God! Please, help this man they call Revivalist
IykeOriaku!

Who knows many destinies that have gone to the grave


128
EVEN JESUS CHRIST HAD ERECTIONS
and ended there because they could not control their
emotions? Who knows how many who are frustrated
today because they were slaves to their erections?
My brother, many things have died in you that have
refused to rise again. Many talents in you that once
made way for you are no longer speaking. You have
begun to lose favour everywhere you go. Don't blame
witches and wizards. Blame yourself for yielding to the
desires of the flesh. Blame yourself for losing sight of
the things that God showed you about your destiny.

I wish you will pray sincerely today for God to restore


your sight. Let Him show you mercy and show you
once more what the future holds for you.

Sister, there is no other way to control yourself other


than getting addicted to studying the Word of God and
having an active prayer life. Cast back your mind to the
days you were very prayerful. There were some
temptations that you overcame that is messing you up
today. Your solution cannot be found in jumping from
one church to another. The fact that you are popular
among men of God does not mean that you are
spiritual.

Don't stop at being punctual and regular in church. It is


time to grow in Christ. Who knows where you would
have been by now if you had not let your emotions
control you all this while? Will you not cry to God now
to end the activity of the flesh in your life? Quitting
certain habits may seem impossible. But that's the
version of the enemy. He is telling you to continue, that
129
HARLOTS ON FIRE
grace is speaking for you.

Yes, grace indeed speaks for us. But God is asking you
and I if we will remain in sin for grace to abound. I
prefer the grace that helps me overcome temptation
and come out stronger to the 'grace' that keeps me
feasting on my vomit, telling me that God understands.

Even dogs no longer eat their vomit these days. How


can I be comfortable eating up my own vomit? Some of
us were delivered from our vomit. It wasn't easy
though, but it started when we stopped looking for
those that will understand us and started accepting
the shame we brought to ourselves. Today, Satan is
paying for it. That same God that helped us is still
helping us. Can you give Him permission to invade
your life from now?

I raise a voice against those spiritual bedmates. They


shall show up no further. That demonic appetite of
yours will not survive the fire that will consume you
from now. Receive grace now to walk away from any
relationship the devil is using to mess you up. Receive
grace to say: “Enough is enough!”

The next testimony you will have is that God has finally
helped you conquer your weaknesses. Your prayer life
shall come back. Your boldness as a child of God is
restored seven folds now in Jesus name!

Let us pray!

THIS IS AN INTERVIEW WITH THE SPIRIT OF HONOUR!

N o matter how much you hate the president of


your country, you cannot get close enough to
him to slap him. The day you think of it, you
will also have to write your will, not because he has the
time to fight you, but because there is a glory he carries
that will fight you.

If he is coming to your state, you will remain inside


your one bedroom flat dying in bitterness till he drives
past and you won't be able to do anything. If your
house looks like a structure that will disturb his visit,
the military will come to you few weeks before he will
come and tell you to look for somewhere to stay on the
day that he is to come. You will get angry but you will
not do anything about it. Even though it is your own
house; your human right, if you say no, that day, they
will bundle you somewhere and shut the entrance to
your house. And if you go to court, you would be told
that your house was a security threat to Mr. President
the day he visited and that was why it was temporarily
shut.

When he leaves, they will release you. It is not


intimidation. It is not an abuse of human right. It is
simply called the defense of honor. No matter how you
131
T H I S I S A N I N T E RV I E W W I T H T H E S P I R I T O F H O N O U R !
dislike a man, don't fight the oil of honor on his life,
because you don't know the source of the honour he is
carrying. Learn to separate people's character form
the honor of God speaking loud in their lives. If not,
everybody will see that you are better than that
person, but yet, God will honor him, while you may
never see honor till you die.

"For no one taketh this honour unto himself, but he that


is called of God, as was Aaron" (Hebrews
5:4)"Promotion cometh neither from the east, nor from
the west, nor from the south, but God is the judge: he
putteth down one, and setteth up another…" (Psalm
75:6,7)

The President will be right inside his car drinking tea


without noticing your presence, while his army will be
the ones protecting and clearing the road for him. And
if they don't deliver well in their duty post,they will be
sacked. He doesn't need to know them. They may not
even love him, but they are obliged to defend the
honour on him.

Is life not going to be easier like that? When you will


not need to start having high blood pressure because
someone stops liking or commenting on your online
posts? If a man raises you, that man can destroy you,
but if it is God that raised you, that God will defend His
honour on your life.

The problem is that people abandon God and start


looking for honour. They cannot get it. The system of
132
HARLOTS ON FIRE
the world operates in a way that the amount of men
you know makes you known. However, in the Kingdom
of God, just by knowing God, He will bring your way
people that will honour you. Allow them to use their
hands to beg people to honourthem. Let them use their
hands to be introducing themselves. They will soon get
tired and that honour they heaped on themselves will
start fighting them, because God is not obligated to
preserve what doesn't come from Him.

Others were in the war front looking for honour but


David was inside the bush. When the chips were down,
the bush produced the honour the city could not
produce.

When you are going about begging people to honour


you, check your life: you have an inferiority complex.
There is no special anointing for you to walk in honour.
You produce the honour you want to carry. The glory
that will speak for you is what you are making every
day. I hope you understand the cost of what you are
praying to God for.

If it is glory, you won't be the one to introduce yourself.


If you have to pull someone else down to enter that
door, check it, it won't be long; that open door will
swallow you. I have seen preaching machines who have
no trace of glory around them. I have seen demon
destroyers that have no honor and I have also seen men
who are not looking for attention, yet, everyone wants
to honour them.

133
T H I S I S A N I N T E RV I E W W I T H T H E S P I R I T O F H O N O U R !
Nobody who walked in honour calculated it. The more
you make plans on how to be respected, the more you
offend the spirit of honour. “No man can receive
anything except it comes from above.”

Just serve God and remove your eyes from popularity


and fame. Don't do things in your church because you
want people to know that you are better than others
doing it before. Don't go to public to correct someone
you should call after service to correct. It might look as
if you are doing the right thing, but it is God alone that
sees the intents of our hearts.

We were all born with atendencyfor carnality. Even as


believers, there are still elements of the flesh in us. We
all want to be loved. We were born to love the praises of
men. Some, go to the extent of doing everything they
can to make sure they pull others down, so that they
would be loved. That is why we must not be carnally
minded. We must trust God to kill every part of us that
loves heaping praises on ourselves. When it is God that
brings the honour, you will not struggle for it.

I have seen godly honor in my life. I have seen those


who people are looking for as they are looking for me.
Sometimes, I break down in tears. How can anyone
honor me this way? I have no big church or large crowd
that I control. I have not been a perfect man. I have
nothing else except my burden for revival.

When I see the kind of honor people give me some


times, I hide in tears. I don't know how I deserve it.
134
HARLOTS ON FIRE
Some people see me inside the plane and starts
bowing down to clean my shoes. No matter how much I
try to resist them, they insist. Once again: “No man
takes the honour unto himself…”

I don't know if you have the time to go around begging


people to know that you carry more fire than everyone
else. Do you want to keep forcing people to respect
you? Must you be the one going about telling stories of
how that man was found in a hotel with strange
women? I have seen the futility of carnality and I have
also seen the blessedness of brokenness. If it is God
that brings the honour, you will not have to scatter
someone's name in order to be loved.

Some of the people in your town whom God is making


names for are not perfect. You are probably holier and
more prayerful than many of them, but don't be the one
announcing their shortcomings to the world. Don't
always be that person people will come to hear about
the shame of another man. They might be clapping for
you but in the school of honour, you are repeating
classes.

He said: “I will show mercy on whom I will show mercy


and compassion on whom I will show compassion. ” “His
ways are higher than our ways and His thoughts than
ours.”

Esau never lied and he never cheated, yet, he never


carried the mantle. The one that lied and cheated is
still being talked about till today. God knew that a day
135
T H I S I S A N I N T E RV I E W W I T H T H E S P I R I T O F H O N O U R !

would come when that guy, Jacob, would have


encounter with Him and that it would change
everything. No wonder he traced him to his mother's
womb and placed a seal of distinction on him.

Satan sees what you have done, but God sees what you
will do. That is why God preserved you till the day you
accepted Him. If you allow Satan 'put mouth' in your
matter, you will never be qualified to see this day. Jesus
is at the right Hand of the Father interceding for you
today the way He is also interceding for another
person somewhere. You can help someone more by
praying for him instead of using him as example in
every sermon in the church so that he will be
disgraced. Those are things that delete people's names
from the list of honour.

Brother, heaven is our goal; not the commendation of


the church board. Don't let the church board commend
you while heaven is frowning at you. Why God
abandons many people who seem too perfect and
starts using imperfect people is because the 'perfect'
people are using their level of walk with God to fight
those who haven't gotten to where they are yet and
God hates it when men boast of their works.

That is why He abandons them, locates a wobbling


sister and gives her the gifts of prophecy and healing
that will cause people to come to Him through her. And
it will not be long, He will fix her totally.

I was born inside the church and I grew up inside the


136
HARLOTS ON FIRE
church. I have seen God abandon men everyone was
looking up to spiritually and use those who nobody
believed He would ever use. That was the anger of the
Pharisees and the Sadducces that made them start
persecuting the early apostles. They wondered why it
was not them that received the baptism of the Holy
Ghost. They kept the law while they knew that Peter
and other apostles were not close to keeping the law.
Why did God have to abandon them to use ignorant
and unlearned men? That was the problem.

That is going to be the problem that will also happen in


the revival that is already breaking out in our days. The
denominations and fellowships we least expect will be
the ones that God will choose to release His Presence
in territories. Don't join them to mock any man who
still trusts God for a better tomorrow. Don't join them
to condemn any church.The unexpected is about to
break out. The unexpected army is about to come to
work.

Those the church has driven away, those many thought


will never be useful in God's Hands those many call
hypocrites are about to rise, clothed in strength and
power. Lord, please, don't pass me by in whatever You
are doing in my time. Break me, mold me, wash me, fill
me and use me. As you are using me, please, remember
my brothers who are still where I used to be. Uphold
my sisters who still struggle with secret addictions the
way I used to struggle.

Lord, move and destroy everything that is mocking

137
T H I S I S A N I N T E RV I E W W I T H T H E S P I R I T O F H O N O U R !

Your Name in their lives. May they wake up tomorrow


without any trace of evil habits again! May that Blood
that washed their sins blot away finally every trace of
ungodliness and lust in their lives!

We give You permission to separate us from


relationships that are draining us of Your love. No
matter how much it will hurt, Lord, please, by Your
power, bring it on. There are prophecies on our heads
that must not waste. We are tired of rising and falling.
Please, don't leave us this way!

Let us pray!

138
23
EVEN IF I'M WRONG, PLEASE, DON'T CORRECT ME!

T his prayer: “Jesus, I have sinned against You.


Please, forgive me.” is more powerful than this
prayer: “All the enemies of my father's house, die
by fire!”

A few decades ago, the prayer of repentance and total


surrender was more popular.But the prayer of
vengeance and bitterness is now the order of the day.
Those days, when young boys joined the ministry, they
made leading people to Christ their priority. Today,
they pay rain fire on enemies and unfortunately for
most of us, we love noise. We love doing 'assignments'
but hate taking decisions. We prefer activities even
when they are not productive. No wonder we record
little or no results despite the nuisance we constitute
in our neighbourhood in the name of shouting down
fire.

Witches grow in power daily while occultists have


taken over our business premises. How can you be an
enemy to God while you pray to Him to kill your own
enemies? How can the enemy die by fire when you
have not died in Christ?

I presume the brother of the prodigal son was an


139
EVEN IF I'M WRONG, PLEASE, DON'T CORRECT ME!
occultist. And I suspect he manipulated him into living
a life of debauchery and irresponsibility. The young
man wanted to be useful in life. He needed a life of his
own and demanded his share of his father's
possessions. That was not a bad request.

His father knew the boy could handle it and yielded to


his request. But the powers of the enemy took over him
the moment he got the money. His elder brother was
happy that he was no longer on the scene. His younger
brother's departure meant he was going to inherit the
remainder of his father's estate. But when his brother
came back to his senses and returned home, he got
very angry.

If he loved his brother, why was he not happy that he


came back alive? If he loved him why did he not go into
the house to bring clothes for him to change into? But,
then, how could he be happy with the arrival of a rival?

Do you wonder why the prodigal son did not wish his
enemies death? I don't have issues when God decides
to kill a wicked man who has been sold out to
wickedness. But gathering people who are enemies to
God and asking God to use prayers to fight their own
enemies is just one of the end time religious comedies.

The prodigal son did not carry out any sacrifice or


perform some spiritual 'assignments'. He did not even
sow any prophetic seed, whether convenient or
painful. All he did was come back to his senses and ask
his father for forgiveness. And, immediately, his
140
HARLOTS ON FIRE
inheritance was restored to him, amidst jubilation.

What you need to do for your situation to turn around


may not be spiritual gymnastics. You have flogged your
enemies enough during 'Koboko' Night. Can't you see
that nothing has changed? All because you have not
been told to make peace with Jesus. This is the time to
ask God to come into your life again and reign. Stop
shouting “Die by fire!” when you are still living a sinful
life. Otherwise, you will keep feeding with pigs.

It doesn't matter how many times you have fallen. If


you can make a decision now to come back to Jesus,
you will be free. The spell they cast on your business or
marital destiny that is stopping you from moving
forward will leave you.

Satan is more afraid of people that obey God than those


that wake up every midnight to shout fire and yet, they
have no remorse when they sin. Witches' covens can't
handle men who have a good relationship with Jesus.
God appears as a fire wherever their images are
summoned. He answers as thunder in any shrine
where their names are mentioned: “When a man's way
pleases the Lord, He makes his enemies to be at peace
with him…” (Prov.16:7) “I have been young; now I am
old, and I have never seen the righteous forsaken, nor his
seed begging for bread.” (Psalm 37:25)

Are you ready to come back to your senses now and ask
God to forgive you? I did it some years ago. Church
attendance, punctuality and even jumping from pulpit
141
EVEN IF I'M WRONG, PLEASE, DON'T CORRECT ME!
to pulpit kept on deceiving me. People hailed me,
thinking I had a smooth relationship with God. But I
knew I was struggling. When I came back to my senses,
my destiny was released.

It is time to surrender to God. Don't let your


relationship with men of God make you forget that you
are far from God. It is time for you to start attending
church as a practical believer. It is time to take back all
the things the enemy has robbed you of. All it will cost
you is to stay where you are now and ask God to come
into your life again. Then, get ready to see the best of
God.

I know you are ready.Then, let us pray!

142

PLEASE, DON'T DIE YET

R ecently a well-respected young man of God


wanted to kill himself because the sin he
committed years ago and confessed to friends
later became a tool against his ministry when he had
issues with those he confessed to.

He could not imagine how he was going to live with the


shame. The ministry he had tried to raise was
crumbling before his eyes. The brethren that
understood how that demon called depression works
began to pray from left and right, rebuking that voice
suggesting suicide to him.

When he got in touch with me, I raised alarm and we


entered into prayers for him. I sent a soft copy of one of
my books,Satan, I Did It, What Else?and recommended
other materials for him. I thank God that today, he is
normal; the spirit of suicide was silenced. That phase
has gone and it has served as brief wilderness time for
him. But what Satan designed to send him out of
ministry is now doing the exact opposite. The stigma is
still there, but God is adding more glory to him. With
time, his present faithful walk with God will produce
the honour that will swallow every trace of shame
remaining.
143
PLEASE, DON'T DIE YET
Let me use this opportunity to beg you, Sir. Don't ever
think of taking your life, no matter what you did or
what you failed to do. If you are ashamed to talk to all
the pastors around you, because of what they might
call you, come to us. We will not disgrace and no one
else will hear it. When you come close you will know
that some of us have even done many more foolish
things than you have done on this same journey.

Our assignment is to make sure the prophecy of God


upon your life is preserved and by God's mercy, to see
that Satan pays for every shame you have seen because
of that disobedience to God's Word. That might be the
only reason God called me and preserved me till this
moment.

I have little or no business with the strong. If you have


not fallen before, congratulations! I may not have any
assignment in your life. If you have conquered all your
struggles, thank God for your life. But there might be
little or nothing I can help you do. My business is for
those who are somewhere struggling with something
that is stopping them from going somewhere.

You want to be seen with the most respected men of


God who people are trooping in to see while I want to
be seen with the most disgraced children of God who
have messed themselves up so much that people are
running away from them. You want to hang around
with those carrying Fire while I want to hang around
those that have lost their fire. You don't want their
stigmas to stain your wonderful stainless name while I
don't even have a name to protect. I just want to see dry
bones rise again.
144
HARLOTS ON FIRE
I was a dry bone men invested in and today, like my
colleagues in the days of Ezekiel, by the grace of God
and to His glory alone, I am becoming a mighty army.

I cry when I see those with genuine passion for God


resigning and losing their zeal to work for God because
of what people are saying concerning what they did
against God. I have been there and I know how Satan
can use that opportunity to kill every trace of hunger
for God in the person.

I don't care what you did. You will rise again. Don't ever
let it get to the level of taking your life. Some of us have
wounded ourselves in times past. Therefore, today,
God is preparing us for wounded soldiers. I don't need
calls from bishops, prophets, apostles and firebrand
people who don't need God.

The more I get calls from people that don't need God,
the more I feel I have failed God. Where am I hiding that
those that have failed both themselves, their families,
their churches and God will be looking for solace in
suicide? Why am I bragging with phone numbers of
papas and mamas who are already carrying fire when
there are wounded guys who are driving themselves to
hell fire through the vehicle of suicide?

I love getting calls from choir leaders, chief ushers and


prayer warriors who messed up but genuinely need
restoration. It is not in my time that a genuine prophet
will run to false prophets for encouragement because
he fell into sin, afraid that if he runs to genuine
ministers, tomorrow they will start using it against
them.
145
PLEASE, DON'T DIE YET
Maybe, you don't know that the fear of what genuine
prophets will say about them when they fell is what
made them run to false prophets for succor.
Unfortunately, till now, they are still there. My brother,
suicide is not an escape route from shame. It is a sure
way of eternal shame. If you have no one to talk to you
can reach us.

We are not promising that you will get all your


members back. Some of your spiritual fathers and sons
will not come back to you again. We are not going to do
any magic for the shame to be wiped out in a few
weeks. Rest assured, you will lose people, but we
promise you that you will not lose God. You might lose
your position in your church, but you will regain your
position in Christ. And Satan will pay for it.

We have been there before and we understand the


helplessness that leads to thoughts of suicide at such a
time. If this young man had killed himself, those people
that used body language to chase him to suicide will be
the first write R. I. P. But not when we are here.

For me, I regret the days I intentionally sinned,


knowing that God would forgive me. Yes, He forgave,
but what about the virtues that were lost? What about
the mighty prophecies that were delayed? I am
begging this rising army; I am talking to all those that
God has given second chance. There is no need tolose
all that we have accumulated in the spirit on the table
of compromise. Many are making it without
compromise; you too can make it. But please, no
146
HARLOTS ON FIRE
matter whatever you did or were not able to do, don't
take your life. That is a sure way to end in hell. "Go and
sin no more."

Our communities are waiting for us. Our father's house


is calling our names. We cannot keep enjoying sin and
still expect to fulfill prophecy. As it is now, it is too risky
to sing the Lord's song in a strange land. You will never
know how much you have lost to sin until you cry to
God to fix you. Personally, there are some parts of God I
began to see the moment I stopped celebrating secret
sin. But if I had killed myself because of the shame of
those I had disappointed, I would have been in hell by
now and would never have had the opportunity to get
things right with God and with men.

I pray for God to help you, Sister, because I know that it


is not by power nor by might. And this brings tears to
my eyes. I reaffirm before my guardian angels, who are
the custodians of ancient monuments that represent
our burdens in eternity, that: (Add your namehere)
IykeOriaku shall not fail God in this generation.

There is a revenge mission going on. There is coming a


mightier outpouring of holy fury from the camp of the
'wounded army'. Guys that have wounded themselves
are about to carry out feats that will silence the voice of
darkness in our time. Thanks to God that many are
already paying the price. Many are no more asking for
fire to heal the sick, but fire for holiness. Guys are no
more interested in anointing and gifts of prophecy.
Men are now crying for the spirit of the fear of the Lord.

147
PLEASE, DON'T DIE YET
There is a fresh release of hatred for iniquity and the
love of God. You can key into it. I don't care how many
people saw it when you last fell. I am not interested in
how many people you disappointed. There is fire in
this page now to consume that spirit of guilt that has
drained your prayer life.

You will burn again. I repeat, your fire will burn again
in our days! In Jesus Name! Let us pray!

148
25THIS IS WHAT HAPPENS WHENEVER SATAN
WANTS TO DISGRACE A MAN

S he was one of the most respected people in her


church and many people were looking up to her
as the spiritual role model. The pastor and his
wife trusted her spirituality. But nobody knew that she
was living in secret sin.

Nobody knew that she was sleeping with both married


and unmarried men. Yet, when she comes to church,
she would lead the choir and speak in tongues. Her
Facebook wall was filled with scriptural posts. When
you are discussing for five minutes with her, she would
have quoted more than ten Bible scriptures. But she
was a pretender.

Unfortunately for her, she got pregnant for one of the


men who was sleeping with her. To avoid the shame,
she went for an abortion, and after the abortion, there
were complications that nearly took her life. She
started bleeding, passing out clots of dark blood, but
still managed to come to church for people not to
notice it.

She came to church one day and was about to lead the
149
TH I S I S W H AT H APPENS W H ENEVER SA TAN WAN TS TO DI S GRA CE A M AN
wo r s h i p s e s s i o n wh e n s h e s u d d e n ly l o s t
consciousness and fell. Immediately, some pads
soaked with blood fell out from under her pants and
the offensive odour went out everywhere. She fell
down and got unconsciousness.

Some boys came and carried her stinking body outside


the church and everybody inside the church rushed
out to see for themselves. When she finally got
conscious, she saw a crowd of people that surrounded
her, cursing her and calling her different dirty names.
All her body was stained with dirty blood.

It was a public disgrace. Everyone got to know that she


had had an abortion. Her elder brother and mother
were also in church that day and they were both
embarrassed as they watched people leaving the
church that day with the story to wherever they were
going back to. From the pulpit, she was publicly
suspended and it made the news when people heard it.
Some were even coming to church to see her sitting at
the back seat while serving her suspension. Every
Sunday she sat at the back seat, everybody that carried
microphone preached on her predicament.

People stopped talking to her; her closest friends


started avoiding her. Some carefully ensured that they
spread the news to those that had not heard it. The
disgrace was so much that she began to contemplate
killing herself. Her cousin gave her my number and she
reluctantly called me and after explaining to me, I told
her that she was not the first to have an abortion; even I
150
HARLOTS ON FIRE
had had a lady have an abortion for me for the
pregnancy I was responsible for. Out of fear for the
shame that was going to come out of it, I encouraged
her to go for the abortion.

Unfortunately, it was not successful but thank God it


didn't lead to her death. However, I also suffered the
shame at that time. After encouraging her, I made her
see that what she needed to do was ask God for
forgiveness and promise Him that that was going to be
the last time she wouldopen her legs for any man again
for illicit sex.

As I was talking to her, I was speaking in tongues,


binding the spirit of suicide that had already held her.
She broke down in the middle of our conversation and
started shouting:

“Lord, can You give me another chance? Can you show


me mercy? Can you make this shame to pass away soon?
I will never fail You again!”

I told her to go inside her house and start praying and


fasting. She tried it for some days and told me that it
was hard to pray inside their house, because her family
usually beat her up anytime she decides to pray. They
were telling her that she was trying to use prayers to
deceive them again the way she used choir practice to
deceive them before she got pregnant.

Everywhere was hot for her. I told her to keep praying


more in tongues, but this time, silently. Sometimes, I
151
TH I S I S W H AT H APPENS W H ENEVER SA TAN WAN TS TO DI S GRA CE A M AN
sent her some scriptures and call to pray with her.
Anytime I called her she would be in tongues.
Gradually, that spirit of hopelessness left her, though
she was always ashamed anytime she went to church.

Her fellow choristers who were her rivals in choir


always taunted her anytime they see her sitting at the
suspension seat. The shame was so much! Even at
home, her siblings were beating her up for bringing
shame to the name of the family, especially for not
knowing the particular person that got her pregnant.
The last three people she mentioned denied it. The
only man that agreed they had something together had
a wife and children who were even older than her. The
whole thing was so shameful but night and day, she
cried in tongues.

"God, if you have forgiven me, please, let this shame pass
over me ..." God forgave, but the shame did not pass
over. More afflictions followed. She was denied food
severally at home. She was grounded from going out.
People used her name to compose some mocking
songs and were singing it anytime they saw her
coming to church or returning from church. But
something was underway and they never knew it.

When she finished serving her suspension in church,


the choir gave her another suspension, according to
the rules and regulations of the department. It was not
easy. She didn't want to obey them, but I encouraged
her to serve the suspension.

152
HARLOTS ON FIRE
After serving the suspension, they did not allow her to
sing with them for many months. When they started
allowing her to sing with them, they did not let her
touch the microphone for many more months. The
choir leader said she would never be allowed to lead
any session again after disgracing them. I encouraged
her to obey them. Even when she wanted to stop
worshipping in that same church, I told her that if she
has really repented, that God will restore her back in
that same church.

I told her to stop noticing all those that have stopped


talking to her; let her instead convert that time into
asking God to baptize her with the spirit of the Fear of
God; when she starts loving God more and hating
iniquity more, power and anointing will be produced.
She obeyed and converted that time of shame into a
time of personal retreat. She converted the starvation
at home to fasting and because of that, she got thinner.
Everybody thought it was because of the abortion she
had. They did not know that she placed herself on
fasting, seeking the Face of God.

One day, in one of the evening services, the person that


was supposed to lead in songs did not come to church
early because of traffic. Their choir leader reluctantly
told her to lead with a few songs as they were still
waiting for the person that was going to lead for that
day. Out of fear and in that shame she slowly took the
microphone.

When she shouted,"Praise the Lord!"only a few people

153
TH I S I S W H AT H APPENS W H ENEVER SA TAN WAN TS TO DI S GRA CE A M AN
responded. They all knew the story of her hypocrisy.
When she began to sing, few or nobody joined her. Yet,
she kept singing. But it was not long, the atmosphere
began to change. The cloud became thick. The air got
heavy: there was an unusually heavy manifestation of
God's Presence.

Minutes later, men and women began to prostrate


before God, in tears. Some people began to shout at the
top of their voices. As she began to see the
manifestation of the Holy Spirit, tears began rolling
down her cheeks. Ninety-five percent of the members
were on the floor, crying. The anointing in the house
was so tangible that her body was literally shaking. Her
pastor opened his eyes but could not understand what
was going on.

When the person that was supposed to lead eventually


arrived and quietly came to the pulpit to take the
microphone from her, as she was handing the
microphone over to him, the Power of God hit the boy
immediately. He fell on the floor, flat and was shaking.
The pastor's wife who was the main person that used
every opportunity to disgrace her because of the
abortion she had was also in service that day. The
power of God went to the place where she was
standing and carried her and threw her to another side
of the church.

The keyboardist was shaking: the power had reached


him. The drummer was shaking: the power had also
reached him. Nobody even had the time to ask who was

154
HARLOTS ON FIRE
leading the worship anymore. Nobody cared to know if
it was the same girl that was disgraced in church for
committing abortion that was leading the worship
session.

Men and women felt the Presence of angels physically


inside the church. They had never been under such an
anointed atmosphere before. Her choir leader wanted
to go and take the microphone from her, maybe, to lead
the church in another session of worship. But the
power of God also hit her and she fell on the floor.

This girl didn't know what to do other than to keep


shedding tears. It was obvious that she was not in
control. The supernatural was manifesting itself; the
God she has sought for in secret had come to honour
her in the open. The angels that were hearing her voice
in prayer all these months she was swimming in shame
had come to make a difference between them that
serve God and they that don't.

Who are you to stand on the way of a girl that has


sought the Face of God? Don't make the mistake to drag
anything with anyone who is popular in the place of
prayer. You will lose. God loves everyone, but a broken
and a contrite heart He will not despise.(Isaiah 66:2)

No matter how much they tempt you, please, don't


make the mistake of concluding on a man that has not
stopped praying yet. There is something about a
contrite heart that attracts God to a man. Religion will
give you stones to kill the girl. The Pharisees will
155
TH I S I S W H AT H APPENS W H ENEVER SA TAN WAN TS TO DI S GRA CE A M AN
advertise the girl's errors for the whole world to see
and mock her. But, if she has a contrite spirit and has
allowed God to break her, then, the story is not over
yet.

When she managed to drop the microphone, for over


five minutes, nobody could get close to pick it up again.
All the people that went to take it were slain by the
power of God. As she got back to her seat and her body
touched anyone sitting next to her, the person fell
under the Power of God. The seats in the line where she
sat were empty, because the glory of God emitting from
her body was slaying people.

When her elder brother who was the leader of service


that day climb the stage to take the microphone so as to
start directing the service, the power of God also
reached him and he did not know where he was
anymore. He fell. It was only the pastor that was able to
pick the microphone to continue the service.

According to the cousin that narrated the story to me,


even while the pastor was preaching, people were still
under the influence of the Holy Ghost. Some people
were lying down flat till the message finished. They
saw something. It was not just a worship experience. It
was an encounter. They did not just hear a girl with a
good voice. They heard the voice of a girl who had seen
shame.

How can you suffer shame with Jesus and remain the
same? How will you hand the shame over to Him and
156
HARLOTS ON FIRE
He will not pay you back with honour?

After the service, people began to give testimonies of


how God used her ministration to heal them of long-
time aliments. Some were delivered from the spirit of
depression. Some were baptized with the Holy Ghost,
with the evidence of speaking in tongues. Some
narrated some deep encounters that they had, while
some saw angels for the first times in their lives. Since
that day, her choir leader doesn't appoint anyone else
to lead in worship in church. Even if she calls another
person, the person will tell her to give to the sister to
lead. After just one service, God restored her, removed
disgrace from her and made people to see something
valuable in her again.

Please, once again; don't join them to mock a man that


is still on his knees. Anywhere you see anyone that has
failed himself but still trusts in God alone, don't follow
them to disgrace him. A generation that still kneels
down to God is very unpredictable. If a man has failed
everywhere else but still hasn't failed in the place of
prayer, he has not failed yet.

Anybody that can help us to kneel down again in total


surrender has helped this generation. Oh Lord, please,
bend our knees again!

Friend, I don't know what you did that is haunting you


today. I want to tell you that that same God will show
up in your life. If you did it, please, stop lying. Stop
defending your sin. Confess it. If there is any shame to
157
TH I S I S W H AT H APPENS W H ENEVER SA TAN WAN TS TO DI S GRA CE A M AN
suffer for it, go ahead and suffer it. If you have to be
disrespected by people, bear it. But as you are going
through that shame, keep telling God to pay you back
with honor. He knows what you are going through. He
said that in all your afflictions, he was afflicted.

He understands the shame you are suffering in your


church. He has seen those that have blocked you on
social media and those using you to compose all their
messages.

He knows about the people that have stopped coming


to your church and are now joining others to call you
all manner of names. Because of the things you did,
they have added all the ones you did not do, so that
your story will be too dirty for people to not want to
have anything to do with you.

Yes, they have composed a disgraceful song with your


name. To come out from your house is now a problem
to you because they keep disgracing you. When you log
into Facebook, all their updates are meant to disgrace
you. When you see them in church, all they do is use
body language to mock you. They have gone to all the
people that used to respect you and told them about
your spiritual instabilities they know about.

Brother, don't worry about that shattered image. If it is


to take the back seat, go ahead. Care more about
restoring your stand with God. Don't talk about
revenge. If you messed up, then, repent. Fall back to
God: He alone knows how to change the game.
158
HARLOTS ON FIRE
If you can fall back to God in total surrender and
genuine repentance, then, according to the word of
God, … for your shame, God will give you double. I have
been there and I have seen how much God can achieve
with a life that has nothing else to hide. I am a witness
that many times God will allow us to see shame so that
we can see Him.

I have seen shame. But that was Satan's undoing. If not


for the disgrace I saw, caused by my spiritual
instabilities, I would not have sought more for God's
Face the way I sought for Him. And if that shame did
not drive me into God's Presence, I would never have
become who God desires that I become.

Sister, very soon, this generation will gather to


celebrate you because of the value that got added to
your life during your days of shame. Are you ready for a
new phase of life? Let us pray!

159
26
THIS IS THE STORY REV. DR UMA UKPAI
MIGHT NEVER TELL YOU.

T he first time I wrote this story on Facebook, it


blessed thousands of people and it has been
continuallyrecycled from one social media
platform to the other, though a lot of people have
edited the story and several things that are not true
added to it.

In case you have read it anywhere else, I may not know


the exact version you read, but this is the real story:

A young man of God in a particular community got


involved in a serialsexual affair with a lady. Later, when
the lady has started liking it, she began to want more,
but the young man of God had moved on and told her
he was done with sin. Perhaps, his approach infuriated
the lady and she felt used and dumped. If you were the
one, you would probably feel worse: the same person
that used to sleep with you now calling you devil just
because he has encountered revival.

Whatever happened next, I know not, but all I know is


that she went straight to the church and reported to
the pastor whom the young man of God served. She
160
T H I S I S T H E S T O RY R E V. D R U M A U K PA I M I G H T N E V E R T E L L YO U.
narrated how his youth pastor was sneaking into her
room in the night to sleep with her. How after vigils,
she would hide at the back of the rusted water tank
behind the church to 'finishwork'. Perhaps, if she was
sure that the guy had encountered God afresh, she
would have taken it easy.

But she thought the guy had used her and dumped and
started doing it with someone else. Don't blame her so
much. Her pride had been bruised; nobody wants to be
in the 'number' of ladies a man has slept with. With the
help of Satan, her pride got a voice and the church
heard it and the young man was suspended publicly
and disgraced.

He sat in the church back seat for many months. His


head pastor ejected him from his house where he was
given a one-room apartment, with the fear that he will
someday find his young daughters appealing and
defile them.

He had no place to go. When he gave his life to Christ,


he went straight to the village shrines and destroyed
all of them and did different mighty works which made
many of his villagers to start worshipping the living
God. The village elders who were still sympathizers to
those fallen gods passed judgment on him and
banished him.

When they heard that his church had ejected and


suspended him for fornication, they jubilated, that the
gods of the land have caught up with him for
161
HARLOTS ON FIRE
desecrating them. The only place he could stay was
inside an old uncompleted building without a roof. Any
night it rains, the rain will beat him and he will be
soaked. All he had there was his bible and a few
clothes. But he was there looking for God.

He had failed both men and God. God had forgiven him,
but men didn't want to set their eyes on him. The
villagers would gather everyday mocking him. Some of
his close pals abandoned him. But whenever we
passed that old building, we will be hearing his voice.
Crying: "Lord, give me power... If truly You have forgiven
me, give me Your anointing..."

Months rolled by, he was still praying that same prayer.


My late mum would cook every day and give me to
offer him. Sometimes, when I come to bring another
food, I would see that he has not eaten the one we
brought previously.He was always fasting, praying and
crying. Later, the church restored him but the stigma
refused to go. Nobody called him 'Pastor' again. In
church, they avoided him like a disease. Some of those
sympathizing with him didn't come in the open,
because he had failed them.

One December period, Papa Uma Ukpai was supposed


to preach in that community that period and everyone
was waiting for him. The sick, the blind and the lame
had gathered, waiting for him, but news came that he
wasn't coming again. All the pastors in that community
were disappointed because no one could do what they
expected God to do through this man of God.

The crusade was on. The choir was ministering, yet.
They did not have anyone to preach. The crowd was
much and their expectations were high. No pastor felt
adequate to step into that shoe. Someone was moved
to call this young man to come and preach, not because
they believed in him, but so that if he preaches and
nothing happens, the shame will go to him alone.

At first he cried because he knew that everyone there


knew about how he was suspended in his church for
fornication. But he gathered some courage and
climbed the stage. When people saw him on the stage,
they started leaving, one after the other.

The interpreter dropped the microphone and went


down from the podium. The whole crowd almost left,
because they could not imagine what a fornicator had
to offer. The young man was crying as he watched the
crowd leaving and even some of the choristers started
climbing down the stage the moment they saw him on
the stage.

Tears began to roll down his face. He started a song and


nobody, including the pastors, joined him to sing. But
about ten minutes later, something began to happen.
One of the well-known cripple that came for the
crusade began to shout. Every attention went to that
side. Lo and behold, he had stood up from his
wheelchair, jumping all around the place. God had
healed him!

The people were amazed!A few seconds later, a known


163
HARLOTS ON FIRE
blind woman started shouting from the other side:"I
can see... I can see... I can see!"People also ran to that
side. Yet, the young man on the pulpit had not opened
the Bible. He was only singing, with tears all over him.
Few more minutes later, noise filled the whole place.
People with chronic diseases started shouting that
they had been healed. The pastors present could not
understand what was going on. "How can God use this
small boy that was just released from suspension in his
church for sleeping with a lady?"But more miracles
were being recorded.

The crowd that left started hearing the shout from the
crusade ground and began to run back. Some thought
that Papa Uma Ukpai had finally come, but when they
got there, they saw the young man on the stage, crying.
The interpreter that later came to interpret for him
was crying. As he wanted to start preaching, the noise
of more miracles could not let him preach.

As he wanted to get close to tell the interpreter to join


him to climb down and start preaching to people, the
moment he got close to him, the power of God him and
he fell under the power of God. He was there lying
almost lifeless. As the one of the organizers of the
crusade wanted to climb the stage to take the
microphone that fell down from the interpreter, he
was held there by the power of God. He could not move
any inch. His whole body was terribly shaking; tears
rolling down his eyes as he was shouting.

The young man was just standing and looking at the

salvation of the Lord. The crowd had increased even
more. People had rushed home to bring their people,
telling them that something was happening in the
market square. Many pastors that had sick people
started sending messages to their members to bring all
the sick people in their churches and even without this
young man laying hands on anyone, they were being
healed.

Some villagers who were chronic idol worshippers


saw the mighty works of God and ran to the altar for
repentance. He didn't preach from any verse of the
scripture. But the power of God was present to heal
and to deliver. As he was standing there, not knowing
what next to say, with tears all over, some pastors
began to run to him. Some were holding his shoe.
Others were dragging his shirts. Crying:

"Lord, we are sorry..." Some were crying: "We need this


anointing...Please, give it to us..."

The crusade that was supposed to end at 8pm ended


around 12 in the midnight, with healings and
incredible miracles recorded. After that crusade, God
restored that young man of God. He became the
'sought for'. Every man of God wanted to host him.
Nobody remembered he was suspended. Till today, he
is still one of the most sought men of God in his
denomination.

I don't know the name they are calling you because of


your last fall. I don't know the shame you are
165
HARLOTS ON FIRE
swimming in because of what you did or what you did
not do. Can you go inside and cry to God to pay you
back with something money cannot buy? Can you stop
begging people to come back to your life and look for
God afresh? God said:"For your shame I will give you
double.” But it is only as soon as Zion travails that she
can bring forth her children.

Have you not seen enough shame? Have they not


mocked you enough? Have your enemies not disgraced
you and some of your friends not betrayed you
enough? When will you get tired of the same level you
have been for the past years? I wish you will make this
day your own appointment with the spirit of glory.

Stop blaming those that disgraced you in church if you


have not asked God to give you the spirit of prayer.
Don't blame the people mocking your family when you
have not gotten disgraced enough because of the
condition of your family. You need enemies now to
make you know that friends can only fail you.

Since people have been saying good things about you


what have you achieved in the supernatural? Since
nobody has been gossiping about you for things you
did or did not do, where is the anointing? Where is the
glory?It was God that allowed them to mess you up
online, so that you will go back and seek His Face
offline. He is the One that made them start talking
against you in that neighbourhood. Don't go fighting
them. Go back to the place of prayer and ask God to
help you.

There is nothing phenomenal that comes from God
that is cheap. Glory is costly. The kind of honor God
wants to bestow on you can't come by wishing. What
God wants to use your messed up life to do will
surprise everyone that has mocked you. But He needs
you behind doors. Yes, you messed up but He is waiting
for you inside. Yes, you have no power of your own to
be a better person and that is why He is waiting for you.
If you can help yourself, He can't help you. Can you go
inside and thrash it out with Him?

I know you cannot pray but that is why you need the
Holy Ghost. You don't know how to stop masturbation.
You don't know how to control yourself each time you
have sexual urges. You can't go to toilet without
smoking. No matter how much you have tried, yet, you
still have the urge and the appetite. That is why you
need the Holy Ghost.

The Holy Ghost is not for perfect people. He came for


imperfect people. The Bible said that He helps our
infirmities. He is holy and that is why He wants to come
in and make your unholy life holy. He is not like human
beings that use their own holiness to fight you. He will
not disgrace you in the choir seat tomorrow. You will
not hear what you told him in the mouth of any one on
your street. I wish you can make Him your closest
friend.

I have never seen anyone that made peace with Him


that didn't have something eternal to show. Just allow
Him to come into your life. He will fix you. I have tried
167
HARLOTS ON FIRE
human beings and I have seen that they cannot help
me. Your closest friend today can turn to become your
worst enemy tomorrow and all the secrets he knows
about you will be used against you in public.

Just a dirt on your name will drive many people you


call friends far away from you. They may not even be
patient enough to hear your own side of the story. They
will become too ashamed to identify with you publicly,
so that you don't spoil their own good names. How can
a man boast with his friendship with mortal men who
are very unpredictable?

I am here to introduce you to the Holy Ghost because


He has helped my life. I am not telling you about the
Holy Ghost my pastor told me about. I am talking about
the Holy Ghost I have experienced myself. The dirtier
you are, the more interested HE is in you. When people
are running away from you, that's when He runs to you.
I know Him, Sister. He is the One that is helping my
messed up life. I don't know what my life would have
turned to if not for Him.

Can I beg you to make Him your best Friend? He has


never failed any man and He will never start with you.
Forget your numerous addictions and instabilities.
When He comes, He will fix you. He will come with a
peace that will usher in a new phase of life for you. He
was the only Person that young man ran to and He
designed a new way to wipe shame away from him.

Days after the crusade, testimonies were still coming


168
T H I S I S T H E S T O RY R E V. D R U M A U K PA I M I G H T N E V E R T E L L YO U.
in from everywhere. Some pastors that shook hands
with him and some of those that held his legs that night
at the crusade got back to their houses and began to
heal the sick. Any sick person they touched was getting
healed instantly.

Some of them didn't understand that dimension and


they ran back to him to pray for them, so that the
manifestations will reduce or if possible,stop, because
it was beginning to embarrass them. Anyone they
waved at fell under the anointing. When they wanted
to discuss normally with people, they won't know
when they will begin to blast in tongue; for hours, they
would find it hard to control themselves and anyone
around them then would be slain under the power of
God.

They knew it all started when they touched the young


man's shoes that night at the crusade. That is what the
Holy Ghost can do with a yielded life. From that day,
everything about him changed. It was not necessarily
because he went to make peace with the leaders of his
church but because after making peace with them, he
went inside to seek the Face of God.

Friend, that might be all you need now for that glory of
God hanging over your head to break out. That shame
might be waiting for you to reconcile with the Holy
Ghost for it to be rolled away. That condition might be
waiting for you to get indoors once again and cry to
God for something money cannot buy. That glory
nobody has handled in your community might be
169
HARLOTS ON FIRE
waiting for you to get it right with the Holy Ghost. That
curse they placed on you or your family cannot stand
the Presence of the Holy Ghost. Do you know that it is
possible to touch any sick person from now and he will
be made whole instantly?

Do you know that demons can see only your picture


and scream out of people? Do you know that you can
sleep this night and wake up with details from God
about what is wrong in your father's house and how to
fix it? Do you know that that gift of prophecy and
healing you desire can start manifesting in your life in
full measure? But are you ready to pay the price in the
place of prayer?

I curse that demon of spiritual laziness in Jesus Mighty


Name! Amen! Let us pray!
