    THE FATHER ACQUIRED A LAND FOR OUR SETTLEMENT BEFORE I WAS BORN

    In the name of our Lord Jesus Christ In the blood of our Lord Jesus Christ Now and forever more The Father can manifest through any of His creatures at anytime and anywhere to bring to pass His will for His children. In 1985, my son Otobong cried from 8:00am to 10:pm and we could not know exactly what was wrong with him. As this persisted, Deaconess Grace Udosen my sister in-law took the child for a ministry work at Ikot Obio Offong in Ibesikpo, Asutan Local Government Area of Akwa Ibom State, Nigeria. There in the bethel, the Father revealed to me through the preacher who was a visioner in charge of the bethel that, “He (God) used the long sobbing of the child to call me up for the revelation. The Holy Spirit said I should quickly leave and pack out of my village to a strange land He (the Father) would show to me in Uyo. He (God) had bought this land before I was even born, as He did to Abram of old, so shall it happen to me.” The Holy Spirit said where He will send me to live; there shall be no problem. He assured me that He would provide the money to do anything there and dwell with us there. I could not easily believe this message because I did not have any money at all. I was perplexed over the whole issue and tried to doubt the visioner. But during the morning prayer, again the visioner called me and reconfirmed the message and complained of my doubt over the revelation. At this juncture the Holy Spirit now said that “I am going to have an accident in Uyo roundabout as I am going to work to attest that the message is from Him the Father.” 20.1 The accident, the point of connection. After the morning prayer, we all went back to our different destinations. I went back to my village and hurried up for work. As human, I made all necessary plan to divert my journey from the Uyo roundabout that morning yet I still found myself there, only to remember the message and the roundabout after the accident has occurred. One of the victims of the accident needed money and showed me a piece of land and offered it to me to buy. He said, he needed the money very urgently to solve some problems. 20.2 He provided the money After inspection of the land, the accident victim requested me to come and pay for the land. But I had no money to pay for this land. He the Father again provided me money through a passenger whom I carried from Uyo to Calabar Airport. The passenger offered me a sum I could not believe can be obtained for a short journey. This is how the Father provided the money and paid for the plot of land and built a house on it for me and my family. We finally moved from the village to this new settlement at Uyo where I am now. This is how the Ravine Estate was established. All His promises pertaining to this new settlement are fulfilling, the latest is He coming to dwell with us. Leader Olumba Olumba Obu is great, can provide, care, protect through any avenue of His. He uses any of His creatures to manifest Himself. Do not doubt Him. Still wait for the fulfillment of His promises in your life. When you hold on to Him, He will hold on to you. When you depart from Him he will depart from you. 20.3 The Father stopped me from selling any part of the plot He acquired for us. I once sold a plot of land from the land He acquired for us as above narrated. Immediately I collected the money I heard a voice of the Father telling me, “Stop and listen” He asked, “Augustine, why have you sold my land? Where were you when I bought the land? And why do you sell it? Go! Go and tell the buyer to come and get a refund of his money.” Immediately after this message I needed someone to accompany me to the buyer of the plot of land. I contacted my sister in-law, but after my sister in-law left whom I explained it to, the Father asked “what did you go to your sister in-law for, fear not; I had asked you to go and call the buyer for his money and you refused. I am going there by myself now.” 20.4 The Father came physically On Monday the buyer of the land came to collect his money. His brother and first daughter accompanied him. I asked my son to direct them to my office. While I was arranging the money to pay them, I heard some sharp movement on the stair case, I thought they were the guests, but before I could lift up my eyes, behold one tall gentleman was standing in my office, trying to direct the guest to come in and sit down. There, I asked the Engineer, “did you come with this man?" And he said no. Before I could even find some paper to cover the money I was counting in case they were thieves, the tall man said to the guest, “did you have anything to do with brother Augustine but later on you failed or was disappointed? Feel fine and happy, the way of God is always good and wonderful; when one way closes, another opens. Accept it as the will of God”. He later introduced Himself as a messenger to government and entire humanity in general. He later waved at every one and departed. Till today, I do not know who came thus. But it is clear now to me that it must be the Holy Father who came. Leader Olumba Olumba Obu is wonderful. 20.5 Ravine Pentecostal Centre When God revealed to me in 1985 to leave my village and He God will give me a new settlement, I did not quite know why. But in 2001, it became clear. There was the tumult in Brotherhood of the Cross and Star. Some members, followers of Bishop Roland Obu seized the Brotherhood headquarters in Calabar, declared him god and they his disciples, and drove away those loyal to Leader Olumba Olumba Obu who refuse to worship Bishop Roland Obu. I am one of those loyal to Leader Olumba Olumba Obu. Most of the loyalist moved to Uyo, but had nowhere to worship because the rebellious group had seized all the places of worship at Uyo also. We needed a place of worship and a new operational headquarter where to begin to gather the remnants of brethren loyal to Leader Olumba Olumba Obu in Akwa Ibom State, and from here gather them all over Nigeria and all over the whole world. I contacted some senior members of the fold. I went to Bishop Ekanem and he became a rallying point for the loyal brethren in Uyo and all over the country, with Bro Ime Etuk and Pastor Essien Umo assisting immensely in the task. We used one of the houses in the estate to hold services of worship and began to rebuild faith and hope again in brethren. Her Holiness Ibum Olumba Obu had to leave Calabar to Uyo because of threat to her life. The Holy Father accommodated her in one of the houses in the estate. She became the visible center of spiritual strength for the group. Another house became the temporary headquarter of this loyalist group of Leader Olumba Obu, and from here contact with other loyalists worldwide was established to the glory of God. The main reason God established this settlement became clear to me. It became also necessary to have a more befitting Cathedral as a place of worship for the faithful brethren because we were worshipping in a makeshift accommodation. A piece of the land in the estate was provided and a good and befitting cathedral has been constructed. The brethren, loyal to Leader Olumba Olumba Obu have a new headquarter from where to re-group worldwide, a good temporary headquarters to operate from and a new Cathedral where to worship. Other Cathedrals for the worship of God in other areas have since been opened. God knew even before I was born, that this need will arise and He mercifully chose me as the vessel for the solution. Finally we appreciate the unfaltering spirit of our Bishop Asuquo Ekanem and the compilation team, by whom our Father has initiated and completed the compilation of His direct teachings, which He, Leader Olumba Olumba Obu, Fighter, Conqueror, even the Comforter, the Supernatural Teacher out of Love and sacrifice, preached from His inception on earth, even the OROKUTU EYOYO (The everlasting gospel). The accurate knowledge of truth has now been revealed and explained to the understanding of all children of God worldwide. May thanks, praise and glory be to Leader Olumba Olumba Obu now and ever more. THANK YOU FATHER
