Many years back when Apostle
Adetayo Olaonipekun Adelaja took up the divine call to serve, one major factor
he held on to was his Faith as a driving force. Even in the wake of heated
challenges, ranging from gathering flocks, coordination of the huge tasks like
finance, he remained undaunted. Today, the story is such a fulfilling one,
seeing his Divine Surgery for the World growing tremendously and recording
highly inspiring testimonies from the awesome works of God through him.
Against this background, the man of
God tells us the significance of Faith in the life of a believer. According to
him, “Faith is the bedrock of every believer in Christ. Christian simply means
Christ-antioch Act 11: 26, The Bible says it is impossible to please God.
Hebrews 11: 6. This why it is important for everyone that calls himself a
Christian to have extreme Faith, that’s the first miracle that will form the
bedrock of whatever he or she does”.
In his words, he asserted that
Bible is Faith. “Faith gives birth to Faith. Genesis to Revelation, all the
believers in God demonstrated Faith from Adam to Apostle John. Believers are
those that have Faith in Christ. Christians believe in the teachings of the
master Himself. It is a fact that without Christ in someone’s life, he will be
miserable and full of crisis”.
Asked how his flocks have
embraced the display of Faith in his ministry, Apostle Adelaja said one of the
cardinal factors people go to church is to pray and receive that which they
aspire and strive for. “It is however pertinent to stress that, “Faith is the
assurance of things hoped for, the evidence of things not seen, according to
the word of God. The word of God has been written before given birth to my
father’s fathers. Hebrews 11: 1. So, there’s no way we can do anything without
Faith but I am particularly happy that the person called “Faith” is what I preach
at every singular opportunity, the church have benefitted immensely from this”.
Speaking further, he said, “I am
Faith personified, the whole world respect me for my demonstration of Faith. I
live by Faith daily. The Bible says the Just shall live by Faith daily, citing
Romans 1: 17, and Hebrews 10:38 to justify his expression. “Every day,
spectacular things happen to many people around me even across the globe.
Before I open my mouth, signs and wonders occur which I cannot explain myself.
Miracle has been my best friend.
According to Apostle Adelaja,
there’s basically nothing a man of God can do without first instilling the word
of Faith on his congregation, “The Bible says Faith without work is death.
Every believer must practice their Faith every second of their lives. In my
three published books, you will see practical display of raw Faith in action
even in the face of opposition. These have been demonstrated in my books
titled, “Deliver Thyself O Zion!”, “Heavenly Passport” and “Life is a Teacher”.
He however agreed that, “Yes,
many people love to drink milk for the rest of their life. Satan has attacked
them with infection that prevents them from eating hard food. For example,
studying at the Oxford University in England is different from another university
in Africa. All are good institutions, but in the argument of great philosopher,
Napoleon Hill, all animals are equals but some are superior to others”. This is
why Apostle Adelaja attributes the success of his ministry to his embrace and
teachings of Faith in the moving and nurturing of the Divine Surgery for the
World, doing great things in London, England.
He was however confident that
teachers of the word of God determine either to have little Faith or strong
Faith, because this is what will determine how far they will go in the ministry
works. “Faithful simply means Faith that is full. If someone is not faithful in
something simply means your Faith towards that person is not full. Many have
been praying for donkey’s years for miracles and it’s like nothing is coming.
It shows that their Faith in God is not complete. But when you have a leader in
the ministry that preaches Faith to its fullest, strongholds will certainly be
pulled down, those in bondages shall be made free, the oppressed shall be
emancipated and those in all forms of needs shall receive bountifully.
Some of the members of the Divine Surgery for the World share their worship experiences and blessings to ascertain the preachings of the man of God, Apostle Adelaja. These are what they had to say:
SISTER JOSEPHINE: “I want to thank God for His mercy and healing
power in the life of my sister, Emelda. She was diagnosed with cancer and
according to the teaching of Faith we had been taught by Apostle Adelaja, God
used me to support her in prayers and fasting and to the glory of God, she is
healed totally IJN. Hallelujah to God for His mercy on her life.
MRS. N. MOSES: “I thank God for His Faithfulness for setting my
husband and I free from detention and deportation. What seemed to be impossible
became possible with God. I was praying with man of God, Apostle Adelaja under
the display of my Full Faith. One day, he prophesied that I will be released
without bail and the next day, I was called that I will be released the next
day, and it really happened exactly the way he prophesied. Again, he gave a
word of honour concerning my husband that he will be released too and it
happened that same way. Praise God, Allelujah.
SISTER NUNDDNEE: “God tested
my Faith during my trying times in Yalswood. I really threw myself on His altar
when trouble came upon me two times. I was issued with deportation tickets. I
was consoled by a man of God, Prophet Adelaja who used to pray with me by
Faith. He prophesied that the immigration will free me. I was even applying for
bail but couldn’t get guarantors and finally when I got a surety the same day,
an application was made the same day and true to Prophet Adelaja’s words, the
bronze gate was opened for my freedom. What a joy it was! I sang, I danced, I thanked
God, and I rolled in the Chapel’s altar to redeem my vows before God. It is
such a honour to serve God of suddenly. He is always in time for His glory. To
God be the glory in Jesus’ name.
SISTER ADEPEJU: “I nearly give up one day due to miscarriage
because I was bleeding heavily and Apostle taught us about believing in divine
healing under full Faith, I was supposed to call 999 but I believe in the
prayers of man of God. The bleeding was gushing out every 3 minutes. Apostle
prayed that the blood will cease from coming out, rather I will only be seeing
water. I cried, thinking blood was coming but to my surprise, water started
coming out. Straight away, I got healed, I regained my strength instantly. To
God be all the glory.
SISTER AMAKA: “In another powerful and instant healing, I have
always known that it is God that has the final say in my life. I was in the
Kings’ College hospital due to the fact that I noticed that my left leg was
swollen. On getting there, the doctors said that my left kidney is not
functioning properly so they have to perform a procedure to lift my kidney up
to ease pressure. The next morning, when I woke up, as they were making the
bed, I just stepped aside and fainted and the next thing I knew was that I was
being rushed into the theatre for surgery. I was told I had clot in my lungs, I
couldn’t recall all that happened there because it was like I was unconscious
and sometimes, I will be conscious and spoke with them. It was later I was told
that they lost me on the theatre table but suddenly I came back to life again.
The doctors said that I have 20 per cent chances of being alive and that even
if I am alive that I will still be a vegetable but today, my sisters and
brothers, the God of Faith has made me whole and strong and healthy, there’s
nothing wrong with me anymore. It can only be God. I encourage everyone to hold
on to Faith in its fullness. It is a mysterious power that brings health and
happiness.
THERESA, IRELAND; I was looking for finance for a car. To borrow
it, it was meant to cost me 1000 pounds. After praying, my brothers suggested
that I go on my knees and ask my dad, (God). I did and my dad gave it to me on
Tuesday and I give the glory back to him. There was not going to be any cost of
interest to pay back. I thank my daddy in heaven in Jesus’ name. Praise God, I
got a testimony. I miraculously got the finance for the car. I picked it up on
Tuesday. Praise God, he decided how I get the finance. Thank you for agreeing
with me, man of God.
