overcoming both the persecution from within and outside the body..

Added: 2026-06-06

[00:00:00]I've been hearing of Apostle Arome for the past few years.

[00:00:04]But only last month I met him in the United States.

[00:00:11]And I was sharing with him about the persecution I am experiencing from the churches in Nigeria.

[00:00:20]I spoke to him how I went to Canada to preach. I was invited. I didn't just go look at me.

[00:00:26]>> [music] >> I'm not a young man.

[00:00:28]And I was told to buy your ticket, when you come, when we're giving you honorarium, we'll package your ticket and and put everything together.

[00:00:39]Now, I got there and then they told me that they got an instruction from Nigeria that I should not be allowed to preach.

[00:00:46]So, I was turned back.

[00:00:48]Now, where is my money? I spent $8,000.

[00:00:51]That's 16 million naira.

[00:00:53]My wife also went with me.

[00:00:55]They didn't give me money.

[00:00:56]A few days after I went to Cape Town.

[00:00:59]When I got to Cape Town, I'm told that the PFN had left an instruction that I should not be allowed to preach.

[00:01:06]But the difference between my experience in Canada and my experiences in Cape Town was that the man who invited me in Cape Town put his feet down.

[00:01:14]That he has sick people in his church, PFN will not heal them.

[00:01:17]That he has sinners in his church, PFN will not save them.

[00:01:21]That he has people who need deliverance in his church, PFN is not going to do deliverance for them.

[00:01:26]How many dead people have PFN raised?

[00:01:29]That this man of God must be allowed to preach and minister to his people. So, he put his feet down and insisted that I should preach.

[00:01:36]If they're going to excommunicate him from PFN, that he was ready to leave.

[00:01:42]So, when I told Apostle Oside what I'm going through among the Nigerian churches, they are following me from nation to nation to waste my money, waste my time, and disgrace me.

[00:01:54]And Apostle Oside told me that he had suffered the same persecution.

[00:02:00]So I now had a relief when I met him that I have a PARTNER IN HARDSHIP.

[00:02:13]WE ARE IN A SERIOUS TROUBLE.

[00:02:16]THAT THOSE WHO are saying the truth, they are being persecuted.

[00:02:21]I'm aware that maggots will never like those who want to remove the because in the in the in the filth.

[00:02:29]They survive in the filth.

[00:02:33]So if you are removing filth and dirty things, maggots will not like it because then they will be dead.

[00:02:40]Those who are making money from the present rot.

[00:02:43]Those who have made name by aeroplane [snorts] and commercialized Christianity and and they don't want to hear anybody who is talking against that.

[00:02:52]Well, we are in a very long drawn battle.

[00:02:56]Because I'm not going to keep quiet.
