Pastor J. T. Kalejaiye is a Regional Evangelist of the Redeemed
Christian Church of God, who is popularly known for canvassing support
for good government and transparency in government. This man of God
believes there is nothing any man of God can do without the approval of
God. On several occasions, God has used him to liberate countless number
of people from the snare of evil and deep depression of life.
Pastor Kalejaiye is known for inspiring messages. He is a teacher of
the word and, indeed, a worshiper whose attitude of gratitude to God
takes him a high attitude.Last week, this respected man of God stormed
Harvesters International Christian Centre Church at Gbagada where he
lifted those who were downcast and gave hope to the hopeless in the
congregation. The pastor started with an illustration of how
perseverance and courage spurred a man to pass a test set by his father
among for all his siblings.
WHAT TO LEARN AND MOVE FORWARD DURING HARD TIME
Pastor Kalejaiye, said you didn’t know what you are capable of doing,
until you are pushed. “Many of us need to be pushed before we can
discover ourselves, so we shouldn’t allow the current challenges to
weigh us down not just as people but as a country at large. He said: “It
takes going through the bad moment to bring out the best in you.”
Sometimes you need to go through the bad time/worst time to discover
your purpose. So, it is a time to discover one’s calling.
There are raw materials, some may lose their job before they can get
to their promise land. “This is one of the critical moments of this
country and it will turn out good for those who are determined and
strong.” Another key inspiring statement he made is, for a change to
happen; it takes going through hell to make it happen. And Nigerians
must support what the government is doing. According to him, what
happens in Nigeria is a global thing and we must abide by it.
HOW TO BREAKTHROUGH ALL
Fear not: Fear not because God is in control. “In two months time,
our story will change in this country, but Nigerians need to take action
before God can take control. The Pastor said there must be a problem
before a miracle. “There must be a passing through before a
breakthrough.” Job passed through a lot in the Bible, but God saved him
at last. He said “Fear not because all your pains will: soon turn to
gain.”
Another key point he mentioned is diligent. “You must be diligent if
you truly want a positive change. Pastor said he disengaged from work 25
years ago. He said, he had once sold fufu to survive, while growing up.
Sow now to reap later is another key point to adopt which would make
you to have a total breakthrough either financially or spiritually. He
gave an example of how Isaac sow in plenty in the Bible and how he
harvested bountifully. Pastor Kalejaiye said “You don’t need to go to
Germany before you can make it, you don’t need to go to UK before you
can be okay and you don’t need to go to China before you can eat Chinese
food.
He also pointed out that Nigerians should develop the habit of paying
Tithe accurately and adequately. He said people should not steal what
belongs to God, adding that there was a time when he had to increase his
Tithe to 15 percent and he got his bigger breakthrough by doing so. He
said: “Load your cloud so that your rain can fall.
People should always wait on the Lord, he said “if your appointed
time has not come, there is nothing any man can do to open it. You just
have to wait on the Lord. The man of God concluded his sermon by saying,
“yesterday was your experience and today is your experiment and
tomorrow is your expectation. Use your experience to push your
experiment and you will get a good expectation.
