Hello

2006-08-14T19:52:00.000+01:00

hello dear,
It's been months and I haven't been around in a while. There's a whole lot I've been through in the last few months. They have been just great. I'm upward bound with The Word. Watch out, there's a lot to come. Love as always

The Healed of God

2006-01-27T17:17:00.000+01:00

People the world over have questioned the ability of God to heal today.And it is sad to know that some believers have accepted this error too.How sad!
How it must grieve the Holy Spirit.This letter is personally addressed to you.Know for sure that Healing is Gods will.And it's for you.Its yours already but the devil would have you believe otherwise.Do you know that everything you see in your life today is the result of something you believed a while ago. Do you know that Your victory or defeat starts in your mouth!Yes it does.God's word tells us in Romans 10:10 ,with the heart man believes unto righteousness; AND with the mouth confession is made unto salvation.

Did you notice that the state of a man's heart is only brought into the earth realm when he makes a commensurate confession with his lips.And that's why i said that your victory or defeat starts in your mouth.

Matthew 8:17 tells us ,... himself bore our infirmities and took away our sicknesses.Glory to God.You don't have asthma or any other disease any longer ,Jesus took it away to hell when He died .And He didn't come back with it.He left all of sickness there.Glory to God!

The devil is whipped and he knows it himself.You get up in the name of the risen Christ and throw sickness off of your body.You can choose to walk in victory and health.You don't have to be sick ever again!
I do not say that symptoms will not come,You can be sure the devil won't give up without a fight,he will try to put symptoms on you because he is a persistent fella.But you already have the necessary spiritual arsenal to enforce your victory-God's infallible Word.You make it yours by speaking it.That's how to activate the dynamic power lying dormant (so to speak) in the Word.The bible tells us in Hebrews 6:13-15 :...When He could swear by no greater ,He swore by Himself,saying,surely i will bless you,and multiplying,i will multiply you.And so after he had patiently endured ,he obtained the promise.
You walk in the promises of God by patiently enduring.Thats how the victory comes.God cannot lie.You can shove that in the devils face every time sickness,disease,infirmity tries to fasten itself to your body.Take charge of your body and let every passing second of your day be enshrined in victory.
1 Peter 2:24 tells us , who his own self bore our sins in his own body on the tree, that we, being dead to sins, should live unto righteousness: by whose stripes you were healed.Glory to God!
It therefore means that if your healing was procured by Jesus 2000 years ago on the road to calvary,it still means that you are the healed of God.God hasn't changed his mind about that.The bible tells us in James 1:17 ,Every good gift and every perfect gift is from above, and comes down from the Father of lights, with whom is no variableness, neither shadow of turning.

You know what that means literally.I'll explain.the sun rises in the east in the morning.It isn't so intense at that time.It then begins its daily journey across the sky until it sets in the evening,in the west.All the while casting shadows and having varying intensity.
Now you see, the light that comes from God is so good It does not cast shadows !

It doesn't decrease in intensity !

It never goes down in strength !

Alleluya! God's Word is just as good and strong as the day it was spoken(Jer. !:12). It means that He hasn't changed his mind about the stripes of Jesus as the eternal remedy for sickness on your behalf.wow!
The symptoms of the disease may still be evident in your body but keep saying with your mouth: I am the healed of God.The health of God is mine.By His stripes I am healed.I cannot be sick.
You must know that God's word is truth and it has the ability to reproduce in your body that which you continually affirm with your mouth and your actions.
Lift up your hands to heaven and bless God's name.He loves you dearly and so do i.And remember: God is so good he doesn't need the devil's help to perfect anything about you.You are His masterpiece through the saving and redemptive work of Jesus our Lord.

I love you very much.

Psalms 44:8

2006-01-25T11:39:00.000+01:00

Hello folks, it's my first post on my blog this year.I'm doing good as always. I'm LAMINATED to the Father just as you are. And you know what, one confession I make as often as I can is this: I am an example to the Believer.
I look forward to being a channel of God's blessing once again to you in the New Year. I was looking through Scriptures a few days back and I came across this Scripture. It's found in Psalms 44:8 - In my own words: An excuse to talk really big and brag on the abilities of an Indwelling God.
I have started talking alreay and Like God the Father am seeing the results.

Have a swell day dear. I love you very much

Happy New Year

2005-12-31T09:36:00.000+01:00

The new year is just a few hours away. And you can be sure that it's a year you can put into your pockets or purse. And the recipe is right under your nose--your mouth. Thats where Victory starts. Like I learnt recently, Words are the symbol of authority of Spirits- God the Father, Jesus the Son, God the Holy Spirit & you. Even the devil's rebellion against God as found in Isaiah 45 is a product of words.
I would like to leave you this ever green nugget from the Word :

Isaiah 55
10For as the rain cometh down, and the snow from heaven, and returneth not thither, but watereth the earth, and maketh it bring forth and bud, that it may give seed to the sower, and bread to the eater:
11So shall my word be that goeth forth out of my mouth: it shall not return unto me void, but it shall accomplish that which I please, and it shall prosper in the thing whereto I sent it.
The results of those words of power you speak are found in the following two verses of our text.

12For ye shall go out with joy, and be led forth with peace: the mountains and the hills shall break forth before you into singing, and all the trees of the field shall clap their hands.
13Instead of the thorn shall come up the fir tree, and instead of the brier shall come up the myrtle tree: and it shall be to the LORD for a name, for an everlasting sign that shall not be cut off.

You have it in you like your Father to speak Words of Power. Dare to speak and dream big for the coming year. It's all settled. Have a swell Word-working-Always day. I'll see you in the new year. We make our boast in God!!!

One more thing, a big Thank you to all who visited these pages. Thanks a ton for your support. it's much appreciated. I love you very much...

Don't stop here

Deuteronomy 32
29O that they were wise and would see through this [present triumph] to their ultimate fate!
30How could one have chased a thousand, and two put ten thousand to flight, except their Rock had sold them, and the Lord had delivered them up?
31For their rock is not like our Rock, even our enemies themselves judge this.
Amplified Bible

The same verses of Scripture as read in the King James Version
29O that they were wise, that they understood this, that they would consider their latter end!
30How should one chase a thousand,and two put ten thousand to flight, except their Rock had sold them,and the LORD had shut them up
31For their rock is not as ourRock, even our enemies themselves being judges.

There's a depth of revelation embedded in these verses of Scripture. Verse 29 affirms that there is an end intended for us.

Psalm 37 vs 37 describes the end intended of the believer - Mark the perfect man,and behold the upright: for the end of that man is peace. (KJV)
I believe that verse 29 of our text is written somewhat to us not to cast away our confident trust. There is such joy laid up ahead of us that we can look beyond seemingly present difficulties. Scripture is consistent as it accounts to us that Jesus (Our Master and Lord) who for the joy set before him endured the cross, despising the shame, and is SET down at the right hand (The Place of Authority) of the Father . Hebrews 12 vs 2 (KJV).

Verse 29 was written to Israel beause they had displayed foolishness in their conduct. For the New Testament believer, Christ has been made to us the Power of God and the Wisdom of God!
We are not foolish. We however must maintain staying power to see through to God's intended end for us. And that will only be found in His Word.

The last two verses of our text expound a beautiful truth. Man must have something bigger than himself, so to speak, to trust in. 'Some higher power' if I may borrow that phrase. And even God acknowledges that!

The conclusion of the matter -- Their Rock is NOT like ours. Alleluia! Can you just meditate over that and see the light that will flood your soul? And even our enemies( The devil, death, sickness, disease and every evil thing) judge this. The Enemy knows that we will see such glory as we step out in faith-- acting on God's Word! If he knows, it's about time you roused yourself and got so full of God's Word it would dominate your thinking and eventually your actions. And then the knowledge of the Lord will fill the earth like the waters the sea. And men will see in you Jesus going about to do good-- Acts 10: 38
Rise let us be going for the time has come. I love you very much!

Seasons

2005-12-08T03:22:00.000+01:00

I have come to realise that there are seasons in our lives. We could take a cue from Scripture in Ecclesiastes when it tells us in Chapter 3, that there is a time allotted to every human endeavour.
Like his Father before him, King David had these words penned: I have been young and now am old, yet have I not seen the righteous forsaken nor his seed begging bread.

There is a time when we are born, Innocence marks this period of our lives. We then begin to grow up and develop traits that often times will dictate the course of our lives. And ultimately, man has to leave the scene because his time is up in a sense.You are probably beginning to wonder why I am building such a premise.

I will state the reasons in the next few lines. I have watched with pain in my heart men and women in their 50's and 60's live in decrepit shacks. Some of them you find on the street corner begging alms to make their next meal. I've done my duty as often as I could. But I realise the cycle may never change unless we begin to address these issues.

I would like us to look at 3 verses of scripture:
Proverbs 20:4 - A sluggard does not plow in season, so in harvest time he looks but finds nothing. (NIV)
Genesis 8: 22 - While the earth remains, seedtime and harvest, cold and heat, winter and summer, and day and night shall not cease. (KJV)
Isaiah 55 :10, 11 - For as the rain goes down and the snow from heaven and does not return there but makes the earth bring forth and bud so that it gives seed to the sower and bread to the eater...

These three verses resonate with the idea that God intends that a man make proper use of the seasons in his life. It also tells us that there is a manward side, and a Godward side to every transaction in a man's life. God says on his part, "I have done my part, but you have to take the responsibility to plant when the season arrives.

A minister of the gospel I admire had this to say a few years ago, "When you see one who begs alms in his sixties and seventies. If you look close enough you will find out that his life is characterised by wasted opportunities."
We owe our kids and posterity a duty to teach by utterance and example to lay ahead for the days to come. The Word tells us that a fool spends all that he earns. Leave something by for tomorrow.

Make investments today that will keep earning long after you have left the scene. I would like to leave you with this last verse of Scripture: A good man leaves a inheritance to his children's children.
I love you very much. Have a great day.

Keep Off, God's at Work

2005-12-03T01:25:00.000+01:00

God calls men before their birth- I mean he appoints their life's work before they are even aware of themselves. He then prepares the ground and the room for them to be all that they were predestined to be: Galatians 1 vs 15 from the CEV says, "But even before I was born, God had chosen me.
What especially baffles me is that these people usually start off in a different area of human endeavour before they grow into the fullness of God's plan for their lives- The Lord Jesus was a Carpenter, Paul was a Pharisee, Peter was a fisherman,Luke was a Physician, Joseph was a Prisoner, Moses was an adopted Prince next in line for the throne.... and right now, I am wondering by what human title men have labelled you with.
The list is endless. I am sure glad that these people fulfilled their roles in life.Little wonder many of their names appear in the inexhaustive list of the hall of faith found in Hebrews 11. There's space for your name to go in there too.
You qualify for use by the master- Like the alabaster, I'm convinced you contain such a fragrance this world has not yet known. I wait, like all others for you to step in your place. Welcome aboard.

Thoughts

2005-11-27T05:27:00.000+01:00

Galatians 2
4[My precaution was] because of false brethren who had been secretly smuggled in [to the Christian brotherhood]; they had slipped in to spy on our liberty and the freedom which we have in Christ Jesus, that they might again bring us into bondage [under the Law of Moses].

8For He Who motivated and fitted Peter and worked effectively through him for the mission to the circumcised, motivated and fitted me and worked through me also for [the mission to] the Gentiles.
The same principles and pattern by which men called of God fulfilled their roles (in Scriptures) is a pointer to what and how you should expect to be trained. Honey, let God motivate and fit and work through you. The verses above connote the idea of a piece of equipment designed to meet a specific need. No minister of the Gospel is a misfit, you won't be the first( Banish the Thought). You were called to be equipped to meet the goals and aspirations of Our Lord and Master. There's no room to feel inadequate. He fits and motivates and works through you. Rejoice!!!

While God's minister is to be revered as the oracle and mouthpiece of God, He may only be admonished by one with an equally rich spiritual experience (Paul rebuked Peter). Leaders wield such immense power. Notice for a moment how the Jewish believers who had come from Jerusalem to Antioch concealed their true convictions and acted insincerely after having seen Peter join their table. I may safely deduce that they would have eaten freely with the Gentile believers if they had seen the Apostle Peter do the same.
Dare to live out the Word of God. Stay true to the convictions of your heart as the Holy Ghost has taught you. Live up to the truth of the Gospel.It's a sure way to staying victorious.

The Gospel is truth-every other ideology or intellectual bias pales out in front of it.

I teach by practice and by utterance. Both areas of my life speak volumes. Let them agree with the Word. Gal. 1:18

20I have been crucified with Christ [in Him I have shared His crucifixion]; it is no longer I who live, but Christ (the Messiah) lives in me; and the life I now live in the body I live by faith in (by adherence to and reliance on and complete trust in) the Son of God, Who loved me and gave Himself up for me.
21[Therefore, I do not treat God's gracious gift as something of minor importance and defeat its very purpose]; I do not set aside and invalidate and frustrate and nullify the grace (unmerited favor) of God. For if justification (righteousness, acquittal from guilt) comes through [observing the ritual of] the Law, then Christ (the Messiah) died groundlessly and to no purpose and in vain. [His death was then wholly superfluous.]>>>>Amplified Bible

Staying Power

2005-11-20T20:04:00.000+01:00

Staying accountable to someone or a set of individuals who will tell you the truth to the exclusion of your feelings about them is one sure way to staying alive in a world where many would rather sweet tongue you. Find such friends and value them. And remember that birds of like plumage flock together. You must be willing to do same and keep your heart right and in tune with the Word of God and His Spirit. Have a great week.

Who's in charge?

2005-11-14T02:17:00.000+01:00

I feel pressed in my spirit to pen these few words. Time after time as I am faced with wrong doing, in rebellion against God's revealed word, I hear those words flow and bubble out of my spirit- I Bolaji Olaiwola, am in charge. In lay man's terms, I am responsible for my actions irrespective of external influence.
For every born-again child of God has been removed from under the power and influence and penalty of sin. For sin shall NOT have dominion over you- Romans 6:14
I love the way the Amplified translation of the bible puts it: For sin shall not [any longer] exert dominion over you,...
It brings us to a place where the believer should and must take responsibility for his actions. The Believer, by his new nature which he received at the new birth CAN live right. It's in us .
I believe in God's new Creation. As I exercise this new life that I live, using the light that I have received from His Word, I am maturing in the things of God. I am making progress and advancing in the things of God. We are the light of the World- Keep shining friends.
I close with this evergreen truth from Ephesians 2:8, You are God's Masterpiece (NLT)

Galatians

2005-11-07T03:53:00.000+01:00

My first indepth study of this book started on the 7th of November 2005,
the first verse here affirms a Truth that should never be overlooked: God raised the Lord Jesus from the dead...

Galatians 1 verse 4 says: Who gave himself for our sins that he might DELIVER us from this present evil world according to the will of God and our Father.
The world he speaks of is not the physical three-dimensional structure revealed to our senses when we look out the window on a bright day. Paul refers to the kingdom and domain of the Devil wherein we were all legal subordinates of the Devil. The Blood Jesus shed met the demands of Justice and the strict legal requirements of The Law-- The Righteous had to take the place of the sinful. Isn't that wonderful?
It has always been God's will for man to rule as Lord. He never changed his mind about that for one moment. Our deliverance brought with it certain benefits. We became a sharer with God, and He became our Father so that we share in his nature.
Man's one problem was the sin problem. Sin alienated him from God. Ever wondered why dogs understand themselves very well? The answer is obvious- They share the same quality of life. Man's interaction with dogfolk at its best is learned and controlled. The picture we get by God visiting Adam and Eve in the cool of the day seems to suggest to me that they must have shared the same quality of life. Based on this platform, they could relate without a sense of inadequacy or inferiority. None was inferior to the other. God was man's best and Only friend. The bible informs us that In Genesis: God brought all the animals to Adam to see what name He would call them. It seems to suggest to me that God absolutely trusted his abilities. Man was good.

We have been delivered from this present evil world. We must learn to interpret scripture in context. Many would think that the present evil world being referred to was this landmass made by God @ creation. No, the present evil world refers to the the present world system over which the devil reigns. Sadly, every one who has not received Jesus as Lord and Saviour is under his influence. The Bible tells us we have been delivered. Alleluia!

Our deliverance at Calvary was God's will. God's will is Liberty and freedom and every good thing. Glory to God.

Discipline means doing what you need to do , without complaining or supervision.

Wisdom's starting base is a reverentful and worshipful fear of God. It's the foundation upon which everything else is built.

Putting the needs of other people before yours may be hard to do for a natural man. However, it is God's prescription for true success.

2005-10-28T23:01:00.000+01:00

God's design of the marriage institution is unchanging- A physical union and eventual cohabitation of Adam and Eve (Adam and stEve will never do, neither will Eve and Evelyn)
God loves balance. The night complements the day; the Harvest complements and sustains the planting season.
A balanced home life, where the Father cherishes and nourishes his little flock over which the Holy Ghost has made him overseer, is the future of a strong and viable Nation. While the Father is to bring instruction to his children, the truths of these are nailed into young, impressionable minds by a Mother's Teaching- A loving fusion of strength and tenderness...
We owe a debt to the coming generation. We will make the difference by His indwelling Spirit.

Nigeria grieves

2005-10-23T16:43:00.000+01:00

The Nation woke up to news of the demise of the First-lady of Nigeria. It was indeed sad news. I got to hear about it in church. We lifted up the first family in prayer before God. It's my prayer that God will comfort them and grant them the strength to bear the loss . Nigerians will miss her sorely. It's indeed a sad moment for the nation. Adieu Stella Obasanjo( Rest in Peace )
Headlines ofmajor newspapers also reported the crash of a plane flying from Lagos to Abuja. As I write, the details are a little sketchy. But we do know that precious lives were lost. I pray that such tragedies will not become common-place in our National life.
God bless Nigeria!!!

Nothing is as difficult as it seems. Our ignorance of a subject under discussion is our only mountain. Let the light of God's Word dispel every darkness as you take time out to commit to it. It's so sure you can build your life on it. And that's my waking desire everyday. It should be yours too- Luke 6:47

God the Good

2005-10-09T12:45:00.000+01:00

I had a very interesting week.I had to take things a lot easier as my body broke down. I can't place my finger on the exact thing. I can boldly say, however, that God healed me. It's always a delight getting to know the Lord as the healer of my body.In those moments when I couldnt do anything for myself on Tuesday night, I am glad for that one praying for me in whatever part of the world it was. I may never get to meet you bodily, but thanks for obeying the Lord that night. It made the difference. God bless you.

Righteousness

2005-10-03T05:15:00.000+01:00

As I walked to the office this evening, my heart mused over a few thoughts as the Holy Spirit breathed on them. Those few moments are expressed below. It had to do with Righteousness. While I do not intend to lay claim to be an expert on the matter, I only would like to share with you what I have seen from God's Word.

Psalm 92
12 The righteous shall flourish like a palm tree: he shall grow like a cedar in Lebanon.
13 Those that be planted in the house of the LORD shall flourish in the courts of our God.
14 They shall bring forth fruit in old age; they shall be fat and flourishing;
15 To show that the Lord is upright: he is my rock, and there is no unrighteousness in him.

There are so many things I would like to speak with you about. I do however feel in my spirit that the Lord would have me go one step at a time.
I will start with the somewhat funny mindset about being a born-again person. A lot of people erroneously think that it's a drab life as a believer. The reason, usually is that the born-again person, by virtue of the life that is in him cannot make a practice of Sin. It is erroneously thought that success in this world can only be obtained via sharp and unwholesome practices. What lowly thinking!

The Word of God tells us in the 8th verse of 1 Timothy Chapter 4: godliness is profitable not only in this life but in that which is to come. You talk about making worthwhile investments. The Entrepreneur in me leaps at the thought of knowing that my earthly investments made while living in this earthsuit has eternal returns. It seems to me that this venture must be a profitable one. Do you notice that verse 12 of Psalm 92 above says that the righteous shall...
It's a sure proposition. God's Word will not fall to the ground. The righteous shall flourish. I love the way the Holy Spirit makes a careful choice of words. I looked up the meaning of Flourish. And from the hebrew originals means to bloom and break forth abundantly. What an awesome proposition for success in this life.
You do not need to cut corners to have influence in this world. Righteousness will exalt you. It's God's sure Word. Whose report would you rather believe. Man's or God's? The choice is yours, Selah...

The Victory

2005-09-29T06:49:00.000+01:00

Hello dear,
I wonder if this ever happens to anyone but me.I however know that there is no temptation that is peculiar to any individual. And that does warm my heart . You know that sometimes living in Africa like I do can help build your faith along certain lines.
It was night time and we had experienced one of those incessant power outages. I needed to have the electricity restored. I was desperate to have light because I needed to meet certain deadlines. Since I was hungry, I decided to walk down the Street and catch me a bachelor's supper- what a friend of mine would call African burger- Bread and moi-moi.
Thoughts of causing angels to interfere in human affairs began to run through my mind as I began to do a little praying. The Spirit of God prompted me to be specific in my praying as I took my time to form the words detailing my request. And by the time I returned to the office, power had been restored. Glory to God!
We have the Victory always. The Believer is never at a disadvantage. We are winners through all of life, living, and human endeavour. I learned this evening that an application of the Principles of God as outlined in the Bible by anyone who will take advantage of it will result in Success. God's Word always works!!!
Hebrews

1:14 Are they not all ministering spirits, sent forth to minister for them who shall be heirs of salvation?

The Rains

2005-09-28T00:05:00.000+01:00

I came in a few minutes ago. My excitement has reduced a little somewhat. The heavens emptied their contents today again. And I guess you know what happened next. The installation was put on hold.
I take consolation in God's Word knowing that all things work together for good because I love God. Ciao!
By the way, I have a few gmail invites to give away or free. Send me a mail if you need one. I simply love the user interface. I also have a few Linux cds to give away too. You will have to be resident in Nigeria to get those anyways. Have a beautiful day. Cheers

pretty hectic day

2005-09-27T02:21:00.000+01:00

Traffic was a little on the heavy side today as I commuted to Apapa GRA, where my workplace is located. I made it there before all but one of my colleagues.
I got to work with Cat5e cables today. I was to ensure that there were no kinks in the cable as the Rigger made his way up the mast. The wireless radio to be hoisted on the mast had been configured earlier. I wasn't there though. I got to work with QIIQ voip equipment though. And it just feels so natural to me working in an environment like this.
We had a few troubles with power supply as we suffered quite a few outages today.
I got to experience firsthand a phenomenon referred to as Solar outage. It's a condition where the Sun moves directly behind the Satellite in space blah blah. What consumers notice is that they cannot access the Internet. Luckily enough, the firm where I work had informed our VSAT clients- so we didn't have any clients calling to find out what was wrong.
The power generating set started spluttering, so we called a technician to look at it. All the while, I felt so hungry I could eat a horse. We eventually got the engine running , but it looks like we have a little extra work to do on it.
My CCNA studies got a boost as a friend called to say I could have his Sybex. Pretty refreshing thought. I intend to score at least 980 out of a maximum score of 1000. I gotta fly right now. I look forward to a sumptuous dinner.
Yikes I almost forgot. I should be experiencing my second field-trip tomorrow. We go to hook up a cybercafe client tomorrow. Her QIIQ gateway should be configured tomorrow. I think I can do that if given the opportunity. See you guys tomorrow by God's grace.

2005-09-26T02:52:00.000+01:00

hi all,
Came in from church a while ago. I had been thinking about getting the world to know a little more about Jesus than they do already. Pastor B talked about Acquila and Priscilla teaching Apollos a little more accurately about Jesus. And that helped him better his ministry. I do hope that by these pages, light from God's Word will dispel the darkness in our world. I want to be part of that move of God in our days. By the way, I am Nigerian by birth and one proud one at that. In my fourth year in the Lagos state University, Epe campus. Welcome aboard

2005-09-25T12:37:00.000+01:00

Hello Dear,
The story of Elijah comes to mind as I write you this morning. This write-up premises on certain thoughts that run through my mind once in a while.
As you read through, I am sure e some of you will identify with me. Elisha the prophet, in desperation or is it self-importance tells God the whole nation had forsaken God. And he alone was left faithful. In a bid to remove this assumption from the Prophet's mind. God tells him a few facts. Please read the account below:

1 kings Chapter 19

12And after the earthquake a fire; but the LORD was not in the fire: and after the fire a still small voice.
13And it was so, when Elijah heard it, that he wrapped his face in his mantle, and went out, and stood in the entering in of the cave. And, behold, there came a voice unto him, and said, What doest thou here, Elijah?
14And he said, I have been very jealous for the LORD God of hosts: because the children of Israel have forsaken thy covenant, thrown down thine altars, and slain thy prophets with the sword; and I, even I only, am left; and they seek my life, to take it away.
15And the LORD said unto him, Go, return on thy way to the wilderness of Damascus: and when thou comest, anoint Hazael to be king over Syria:
16And Jehu the son of Nimshi shalt thou anoint to be king over Israel: and Elisha the son of Shaphat of Abelmeholah shalt thou anoint to be prophet in thy room.
17And it shall come to pass, that him that escapeth the sword of Hazael shall Jehu slay: and him that escapeth from the sword of Jehu shall Elisha slay.
18Yet I have left me seven thousand in Israel, all the knees which have not bowed unto Baal, and every mouth which hath not kissed him.

It may seem atimes that everyone else but you is doing a significant work for the Lord. You don't preach as well as some folks. Your voice probably sounds like a frog's compared with R.Kelly's.
You may fall into the category where you are at the prime of your walk with God, giving the Devil a hell of a time. And if he had his way, he would have killed you long ago.
You see, wherever it id you belong, you should strive to get better. But in the meantime I believe God would have you faithful in whatever capacity you serve. In whatever capacity you find yourself, stay faithful in the seemingly mundane behind-the door responsibilities you have. Do I have God's authority on this matter . Obviously. Just read the next few lines.

1 Corinthians 4
2Moreover it is required in stewards, that a man be found faithful.

1 Peter 4
10As every man hath received the gift, even so minister the same one to another, as good stewards of the manifold grace of God.

Some of us may never come into a place of prominence in a local assembly. In fact, only one or two of us may serve in prominent positions of authority. But I do believe that as we stay faithful under the one God has appointed overseer over us, God will in due time promote us. Even the most eminent of the Apostles had to learn at the feet of Someone- The Teacher Himself.
The Apostle Paul learnt at the feet of Gamaliel and much later the Holy Ghost. The Bible tells us in Galatians how that he went up by revelation to see Peter in a bid to make sure He (Paul) was teaching truth. ( Galatians 1: 13 -24)
Dear Fellow saint , stay faithful. And even when you falter, get up , dust yourself and move on. I love you very dearly
Yours Sincerely,
