Lagos cleric, Prophet Lai
Bamidele, recounting his travails in the service of God, submitted that it was
only perseverance that had kept him in the vineyard.
Specifically, he said he lost
three wives in succession and five children, and that at a time, all his life
savings in Kano were lost to ethno-religious crisis.
Bamidele, General Overseer of
Glorious Christ End-time Evangelical Church, a church with headquarters in
Lagos, spoke on the occasion of his 60th birthday at the weekend.
"It was as if I would never
get out of those disasters when they kept happening. Like the Biblical Job. I
lost three wives in quick succession during which five children also passed on.
I was virtually stretched to my wits' end; but I kept on in the faith.
“But I have been undeterred
because I know the devil, having caused those losses, had forgotten that the
Lord is faithful. And by the grace of God, I have been enjoying divine blessings
and increase. To the glory of God, I now have five other glorious children, who
are doing well along with my beautiful wife,” a visibly moved Bamidele said.
