PREFACE

Messengers uses stop watch to accurately measure the extent of tme expended. They are
very conscious of tme because they dont have all the tme to spend. They are sojourners!
A good biblical example is Jesus, He said, My tme is near. The man, B. A. Idahosa is a
man sent from God to fulfll a specifed purpose on earth, a messenger to establish the
Pentecostal force in Africa. And he lived for this defned task. Therefore the subject of
whether he went home too soon is irrelevant as to what impact he has made; satsfying
the fact that messenger put their life on the line for the message.

CHAPTER TWO
A Lifeless Being
***
I
f at all, a messenger has a life is the life of the message. Many persons are obsessed
with what the devil is doing and tend to forget the greatness of their God. Life before
the message is axiom of the messenger. They dont spend extra time on earth. The dead
of Stephen when he was martyred by Saul attest to the fact that messengers cant just
die without fulfilling their mandate. Stephen was happy to die, and with gladness did say,
Father received my spirit. Messengers in the midst of death wrap their envelope and will
refute whatever within their reach from protecting the message. A messenger can jump down
from a storey building in the course of protecting his message without a second thought of
his own life. Just like Paul, the Archbishop jumped down from a storey building to protect
and deliver the message before his departure, he escaped several attempted assassinations.
The message first is the guiding for the Archbishop, notwithstanding his impact in America
and the Australia continents was warned not to establish churches, and that he will not be
invited to preach in these countries. As a man with a message, he succumbs to deliver his
message other than build churches. Not until his death that churches were established. His
passion and commitment to souls around the world, even affected the mother church here in
Nigeria, as he was only interested in winning souls. Therefore was not always around. Mes-
sengers have in mind that, they have a master and he is waiting for them for a feedback.
With eyes on where he was going other than where is from, he left a lot of legacies that con-
firmed him as a passionate messenger. He is the crown jewel of the Messenger.


If at all, a messenger has a life is the life of
the message.

CHAPTER ONE
One Task
***
M
essengers are unique sets of persons, they dont do everything people do.
They are sent to deliver a message and that they wish to die for. The amount
of years they spend is not as important as the course for which they were sent.
Been sent to accomplish only one task, they work in that light. As others are
carried away by many things happening around, messengers are less disturb by flying bul-
lets. They are deadly focused to shoot at the dead center.
They consider the messenger more important than their lives, as they believe they would lose
their lives, if they dont deliver the message. Hence message equals their life.
The message to which they were sent is usually connected to many; therefore they believe
posterity will hold it against them if they fail to deliver it.
If a messenger loses his life in the midst of delivering the message, he will be rewarded and
will get his life back. Even Jesus laid an emphasis on this, when he said, He that consider-
eth his life, shall lose it, but he that loses his life for my sake, shall find it.
Once again, the life of the messenger is not as important as the message. A messenger had a
mission, and the mission of the Archbishop was Church of God Mission, with a define task
of evangelism. Very few churches has mission, but the Archbishop having known the inten-
sity of the message he carried, delivered it for his life. Little wonder, did God used him to
wrought so many amazing miracles. Because his mission was to fulfill and deliver the undi-
luted message of our Lord Jesus Christ, thats Go Ye. Any man of God that seat in one
place as a miracle machinery is questionable. Because the signs Jesus did, he never had them
by barely sitting in one place, rather Jesus went from place to place healing them that were
oppress and doing good and God was with him. It is impossible for a true man of God to
get miracles by sitting in one place. He needs to evangelize the dying world for Christ, and
then God will delight in the prosperity of His servant. There are no provisions or whatsoever
in the scriptures for sitting miracles no matter the degree of your spiritual attainment. Even
the apostle whose fame went abroad was because of the evangelism that they did, as com-
manded by Jesus Christ in the great commission, the apostle preaching the word and the
lord confirming their words with signs following.



It is impossible for a true man of God to get
miracles by sitting in one place.

CHAPTER THREE
Stop Watch
***
H
e is time conscious. No frivolity with time. My time, my message! Messengers
are always running with a time tag. No African minister, past and present
reached so many countries of the world as the Archbishop did within the space
of time he had. It was success beyond human strength. He was empowered by
God; indeed, there was a refiners fire shut up in his bone marrows, Fire in His Born.
There is more a messenger can do with one second than 24 hours available to a self-driven
minister.


My time, my message! Messengers are al-
ways running with a time tag.
