LESSON FROM HIS LIFE

• The ministry started from scratch and has grown to become one of the biggest in the world. He trusted the vision God put in his mind and pursued it to this point. It is an example for us to follow. That which the Lord has laid in our heart, fear should not be the reason why we will not start it. Remember if you didn’t, you won’t finish it. Just like the Nigerian writer quoted “Let the magic within you steer you to greatness” – Dwordchemist.

“Let the magic within you steer you to greatness” – Dwordchemist

• Another thing about his ministry is that he invests a lot in people. Most of the notable Christian artist in the country and outside it was raised through the ministry. We must not despise this greatest investment of all time. Investing in people is the greatest legacy we could ever achieve. Shalom
