Speaking with the corps of media, Bishop TOM Samson about how it is war all started and how souls as being delivered and set free from spiritual embarrassments, he went down memory line to the motivation that saw him start this journey as a minister of God.
My name is Bishop Dr Tom Samson of Christ Royal Family International Churches,
I started this life changing conference from the days in University Ekpoma and Abraka those days cultism were pronounced on campus if you look at the country Nigeria Abraka and Ekpoma were notable so much then and that was when God raised me to preach the gospel on campus so many people gave their lives to Christ.
This spiritual warfare that we find ourselves we look at people’s character on the outside but there are other factors, those days when in the university we see cultism today I learnt that even cultism has entered primary school, is no longer student again even people in the community you look at Oshodi, Ikorodu, Ota etc. look at everywhere even ladies are so involved. what is their activities attacking students, attacking people that was when the Holy Spirit raised people like us on campus moving from village to village,
campus to campus those days preaching the gospel and many people gave their lives to Christ, back than was when the call of God in my life was my Bible School villages campuses.
1991 I came into Egbeda in Lagos, where I started precisely 2001, I started Reigning in Life conference at Airport Hotel in a little way from there we moved to Abuja, pH, touching lives destiny’s
2004, the first It’s War caused uproar round the country first time you see a man of God put on military camouflage with fire demonstration It’s War , children It’s War, what is happening e.
What did God tell me , the Lord said too many people are not fulfilling their destiny is not because they are not intelligent is not because there is no money to do business, there are forces, even in even governmental you could see a leader come up with a terrible programs that Will affect people there are spiritual forces, we have seen in the Bible even David as a King David made that mistake the Lord gave a law that the people shouldn’t be counted the Bible says that Satan manipulated him to count God’s people do you know that issue like is brought calamity to the whole Israel that when God began to kill them David said Lord please stop killing people I committed this offense kill me. again there was a time David was having terrible famine he prayed prayers refused to work he now sought God’s, he said Lord famine there and half years what is the cause of it but Said King made
Mistake King Saul committed evil, there were people called the Gideonites in the Bible Joshua made a covenant with them that we will not touch you we will not kill you but Saul felt that I can’t follow the whole trash and killed these Gideonites people he acted but there was time and season for revenge or judgemental repercussion so after some years God Himself judged the people God refused to answer prayers David said Lord why are you not answering my prayers? God said the King Saul that came before you a leader can suffer because of his predecessors sometimes a leader maybe in the throne not doing well they might not be the cause, who knew you see you look at our nation only we hold who is there now. There are evil around ready to do bad, people should know that there are repercussion all these sharing of blood you think it will go unjudged, we take what belong to others and gather it for themselves there are repercussion let their families go to ten churches a man who carried the salary of a whole establishment and ate it his children children Will pay, so people begin to wonder why War why War spiritual War is tangible than physical War a man can begin to enter crises as a result of what has been done there are repercussions let all of us begin to do evil there are repercussions.
There are forces that are working against man look at Israel when they suffered for three and half years for famine because of what Saul did not even David, what Saul did the King before King David the Lord said ok this is what should be done why War?
somebody just woke up climbed mast to commit suicide there are voices people receive. Few months ago we saw husband killing wife out of small anger this happens people say Satan made me to do it, so many times people did some stuffs that there are forces of darkness. When we talk about spiritual things is not what you can see spiritually, the Bible says we wrestle not against flesh and blood but against principalities and powers whether we like it or not there are forces that control nations power that control communities, individual we all came from different families there are certain things that dwells in a particular family that they need to break the stronghold, so is not only attending many times there are spiritual forces behind it So, 2004 the Lord told me a lot of people have are really tried, do you know that it’s not everyone that didn’t succeed in their business there are certain forces working against people. They open shop advertised yet no patronage, some people environment could be under curses, you see certain environment somethings Will not work there. l have been opportune spiritually to start ministry in an environment that was terrible but because of spiritual prayers things changed
I remembered when I entered Iyesi Ota it was all forest , no development 2006 the Lord told me build me a city here and today Iyesi Ota where we build University is there, everything is inside there hospital is there, people are building houses, everything is prospering.
When I came to Egbeda 1991 it was terrible no development because of the spiritual forces things changed the late Elegbeda of Egbeda came and said man of God you brought light to the place, same thing with Iyesi Ota the late Baale of Iyesi said sir, here was a dump and a forest you coming in brought transformation when you see a spiritual power where people don’t progress when those forces are dealt with
When you have a certificate it will turn to nothing, people say work hard you see people work hard nothing to show for it
Psalms 127 it’s vain to rise early and sit up late and eat the the bread of sorrow
If you ask Nigerian some entered business some had no choice other people no patronage before you know two years has expired
It can really be horrible for some people, some Will be in establishment work very intelligently yet supervisor will not appreciate them
Eccl 9:11 the race is not for the swift you can be very fast yet you don’t win the race, you are very strong you don’t win the battle neither is favour to the skilled you can be very skilled and you are not favoured some of you your supervisor refused to appreciate you. so, in life there are imbalances everywhere many times is caused by spiritual undertone the purpose of it’s War when there are spiritual forces affecting men by the anointing of the spirit they will overcome. the Bible says a little sleep a little slumber poverty Will role in. I’m taking it’s War round the world Lagos, Ph, Abuja, London, Atlanta, Houston and Canada even the white Oyinbo de go through alot there are spiritual forces affecting them, not only in this part of the world.
There are cultism out there various types of cultism abroad are forces of darkness, from the Bible days when Moses dropped is rod agents of pharaoh dropped their own rod too.
When growing up in lle lfe as a young man there were forces of darkness, today people talk about yahoo plus it started years back, Yoruba calls some forces lukwudi, forces awure when people use charm to sell goods, so evil had been on and on but by the grace of God we will overcome. The rate of evil amongst our youth is too much, in our time cultism was only in the University but this days it has entered communities, you enter Oshodi Ikorodu even primary schools , Satan wants to take over our youth and this days the gospel is been ridiculed too much .
Somebody can say there are ten churches in a street
social media which the youths have more access to is like a war between
Righteousness and unrighteousness .
But all the same we must over come. there are forces of darkness affecting families
Today we see baby mama everywhere marriage is been ridiculed, things has lost its value unrighteousness is the order of the day, fear of God is gone ,but we will continue to make sure the kingdom is established. our nation too we are trusting God if we say God has not done well in this country of could it might have been worst, terrible the nation would have been divided, there would have been sharing of blood, there are things we have gone through in Nigeria that other nations don’t go half of it terrible things happen to them, war is terrible Russian and Ukraine what they thought Will be over in three months is still on , Israel and Palestine what they thought it will be over we don’t even know the end but God has kept us in Nigeria hunger we will overcome because as long as there is no war in Nigeria that God could keep the arm of evil away we will bounce back things Will go well.
