I was slapped for speaking in tongues – 14-yr-old gospel singer Great Daniel recounts ordeal with record label


14-year-old gospel artiste, Daniel Monday Akpan who goes by the stage name, Great Daniel has revealed how he was slapped four times for speaking in tongues on stage by an executive of his former record label, EeZee Concept.
Great Daniel had recently announced his separation from the record label on his Facebook page without disclosing the reason.


However, in an exclusive interview with VANGUARD, the Akwa-Ibom-born singer disclosed that unfair treatment from the record label led him to part ways with them.


He said, “I went for a programme at Abia state, I spoke in tongues while on stage, and when we got to our hotel room, he [vice-president of the record label] was asking me why I spoke in tongues on stage. He shouted at me. I was trying to explain to him that it was not my fault, I was led by the Holy Spirit, the next thing, he gave me the first slap, the second slap, the third slap, the fourth slap, and I started crying because my parents weren’t with me, they were in Lagos state. I didn’t have anyone, so I came back to Lagos state.”


He also revealed that as a result of the fallout, the record label who had been sponsoring his education, cut him off from school and instead employed a home lesson teacher who taught him only three subjects out of nine he takes in school.
He said, “It was my first term in SS2, I dropped out from school, and I stayed at home for four months while my classmates were at school studying. They [record label] just stopped me from going to school, saying they will be bringing a home lesson teacher to take me at home because of security reasons.”
Daniel added he believed that God is going to take him places, especially now that he is about to embark on an independent music journey.

5 LIKELY PLACES YOU CAN MEET YOUR SPOUSE.


Dear singles, I thought it nice to share with you some possible places you can meet your spouse. I would like to change your perception of where you can meet them.

I do not want you to pitch your tent in your church area alone, or in whichever place you assume.


Some folks think they can only meet their spouse in the church, they believe it’s only in the church they attend they can meet their spouse. That’s a good belief though, but, I must advise you not to let that deter you from mingling with others or seeing the possibility of meeting someone you can get married to beyond the four walls of your church.

Here are the possible places you can find your spouse….

  1. LOCAL ASSEMBLY: There is a 60% possibility of you meeting your spouse in your local assembly. However People are scattered everywhere, it might be that your spouse worships in another denomination. Your church can be very large and filled with several believers, but your spouse might not be there! I listened to the testimony of a lady, who resides in Lagos and she is an evangelist who travels to different states across the nation. It was in one of her outreaches in a different state that she met her spouse. God works mysteriously, so don’t base your belief on meeting your spouse in your local assembly alone.

2. HIGH SCHOOL:
It is very possible to meet your spouse here also, your spouse might be your coursemate.

I read a letter one of the bamiloye’s sons wrote to his wife, he specifically said he met her in class when he lectured.


The only issue here is that you have to be disciplined, do not major in the minor, When it’s time for lectures don’t go about hanging out, or not concentrating on what you went to school for.

You can actually build a sound relationship in school towards the end of your program just know what you are doing.

3. OFFICE (Workplace):
My elder sister met her spouse at her workplace, God can connect you at your workplace.


I actually had the belief that It was only In my local assembly that I could see my spouse funny right?


And I know some people still have such perceptions.


Your office is a strategic place to meet and connect with people, of which one can be your spouse!

4. RESIDENCE: This is a place most people tend to look down on, they do not like the thought of meeting anyone in their place of residence. to be very honest with you, you can meet your partner here also.

God’s job is just to connect you both, and he can do that anywhere so don’t base your assumptions on a particular place.

5. ONLINE: Yes, you can meet your partner online, but you have to be extra careful. In this case, people can be very deceptive so allow the holy spirit, also get your convictions and make sure when meeting anyone for the first time let it be in an open environment, eg, a restaurant.

Secondly, let the church marriage committee be aware of your relationship, and get to know their family mentor and pastor, from there you can kick start the courtship properly.

Mama choco (voice of a good woman) met her spouse online.

Minister Solomon Lange met his spouse online.

On and on like that, they are countless.

So be alert to the prompting of the holy spirit!

THE UNTOLD STORY OF CHARLES FINNEY AND FATHER NASH

THE HISTORY OF FATHER NASH

Daniel Nash (1775-1831) served as Charles Finney’s personnel intercessor.

He was key to the revival that followed Finney’s ministry. We can all look at the life of Daniel Nash and see an example of how important prayer is to see the kingdom of God revealed. From “Daniel Nash: Prevailing Prince of Prayer” When God would direct where a meeting was to be held, Father Nash would slip quietly into town and seek to get two or three people to enter into a covenant of prayer with him. Sometimes he had with him a man of similar prayer ministry, Abel Clary. Together they would begin to pray fervently for God to move in the community.

One record of such is told by Leonard Ravenhill: “I met an old lady who told me a story about Charles Finney that has challenged me over the years. Finney went to Bolton to minister, but before he began, two men knocked on the door of her humble cottage, wanting lodging. The poor woman looked amazed, for she had no extra accommodations. Finally, for about twenty-five cents a week, the two men, none other than Fathers Nash and Clary, rented a dark and damp cellar for the period of the Finney meetings (at least two weeks), and there in that self-chosen cell, those prayer partners battled the forces of darkness.”

Another record tells: “On one occasion when I got to town to start a revival a lady contacted me who ran a boarding house. She said, ‘Brother Finney, do you know a Father Nash? He and two other men have been at my boarding house for the last three days, but they haven’t eaten a bite of food. I opened the door and peeped in at them because I could hear them groaning, and I saw them down on their faces. They have been this way for three days, lying prostrate on the floor and groaning. I thought something awful must have happened to them. I was afraid to go in and I didn’t know what to do. Would you please come see about them?’ “‘No, it isn’t necessary,’ Finney replied. ‘They just have a spirit of travail in prayer.’”

Another states: “Charles Finney so realized the need of God’s working in all his service that he was wont to send godly Father Nash on in advance to pray down the power of God into the meetings which he was about to hold.” Not only did Nash prepare the communities for preaching, but he also continued in prayer during the meetings. “Often Nash would not attend meetings, and while Finney was preaching Nash was praying for the Spirit’s outpouring upon him. Finney stated, ‘I did the preaching altogether, and brother Nash gave himself up almost continually to prayer.’ Often while the evangelist preached to the multitudes, Nash in some adjoining house would be upon his face in an agony of prayer, and God answered in the marvels of His grace. With all due credit to Mr. Finney for what was done, it was the praying men who held the ropes. The tears they shed, the groans they uttered are written in the book of the chronicles of the things of God.”

Burial Ground of Daniel Nash (1775-1831)

THE BIOGRAPHY OF PA JOSIAH AKINDAYOMI

𝗧𝗛𝗘 𝗕𝗜𝗢𝗚𝗥𝗔𝗣H𝗬 𝗢𝗙 𝗣𝗔 𝗝𝗢𝗦𝗜𝗔𝗛 𝗔𝗞𝗜𝗡𝗗𝗔𝗬𝗢𝗠𝗜

Pa Josiah Akindayomi was born in 1909. He grew up as an idol worshipper but he later converted to Christianity out of a yearning to know “The God who created the earth and everyoneon it”. He was baptized in 1927 in the Church Missionary Society. He joined the Cherubim and Seraphim church in 1931 because he was not fulfilled as a Christian in the C.M.S.

While in the C & S church, he said a voice told him that “You will be My servant”.The RCCG was founded by Pa Josiah Akindayomi who came from Ondo State in the western part of Nigeria. Ministry was not his intention so he ignored the voice and went into business ventures for seven years.

During this period, all of his businesses ventures failed. This broke him completely. He finally yielded to God saying, “Lord, I will go wherever you want me to go.” He asked for signs to confirm that this was indeed God’s call. The confirmation came through the Bible passages of Jeremiah 1:4-10, Isaiah 41:10-13 and Romans 8:29-31.

He continued to worship with the Cherubim and Seraphim.In 1947, he started to become concerned that the church was departing from the true Word of God in some of its practices. By 1952, he felt totally persuaded to leave the church.

He started at Willough by Street, Ebute-Metta, Lagos a house fellowship called, the Glory of God Fellowship. Initially there were nine members but before long the fellowship rapidly grew as the news of the miracles that occurred in their midst spread.

Pa Akindayomi, who was not so educated, formed his own Church and After Baba formed his own church, he named it Egbe Ogo Oluwa (Ogo Oluwa Fellowship). Later, he renamed it The Apostolic Church, but members of The Apostolic Faith Church said he took their name. He once wrote a tract under the name of The Apostolic Church, and The Apostolic Faith Church opposed it, and he had to burn the tracts. It was a bitter fight that the first time he died; God had to send him back to life.

He said God showed him his house in heaven, and told him that though he had done almost everything required of him, he still had to come back to settle his old score. So he quickly went to reconcile with The Apostolic Faith Church.

The name Redeemed Christian Church of God, came to Papa in a dream. When he was sleeping, the name appeared to him on a blackboard. When he woke up, he wrote down the words. He even pronounced it when he was telling his pastors, though it was in English. He added that the Lord said He would provide all the needs of the church, and that He would meet the church when He came back. It is said that God made a covenant with Pa Akindayomi that is synonymous to Abraham’s covenant. He said that He the Lord would meet all the needs of the church in an awesome way if only members would serve Him faithfully and be obedient to His Word.

It is upon this covenant that the Redeemed Christian Church of God was built. Thus in 1952, the church was renamed The Redeemed Christian Church Of God. The church continued to meet at 9 Willoughby Street until they relocated to 1-5 Redemption Way (formerly 1a Cemetery Street).

Pa Josiah Akindayomi, Sometime in the early 70s, Pa Akindayomi stated that God had spoken to him about his successor. He claimed that The Lord told him that this man, who was not a member of the church then, would be a young educated man. Thus when a young university lecturer joined the church in 1973, Papa was able, as was claimed, to recognize him in the Spirit as the one that the Lord had spoken about in the past. This man, Enoch Adejare Adeboye who was then a lecturer of Mathematics at the University of Lagos soon became involved in the church.
Enoch Adejare Adeboye became one of the interpreters translating Pa Akindayomi’s sermons from Yoruba to English.

He was ordained a pastor of the church in 1975. Pa Akindayomi was in a meeting with Kenneth E Hagin and the Lord told Kenneth E Hagin that he should tell Pa Akindayomi that what he said he would do for the church he will do it and that was another confirmation that God is with his Church. God made some promises to Pa Akindayomi about RCCG. Here is a least of the promises. 1. That He will meet this Church on His return.2. That this Church will become a model to the whole world. 3. That other Churches from all over the world would come to learn and worship in this Church.

As Papa was preparing to meet his Creator, he sent for Pastor Adeboye and spent several hours sharing with him details of the covenant and the plans of the Lord for the church. Even though a year before this, the Lord had revealed to Pastor Adeboye that he would be Papa’s successor, it was still too difficult for him to fully contemplate such an awesome responsibility.

Pa Josiah Akindayomi was 71 years old when he died. Amidst controversy, Pastor Adeboye’s appointment was formalized by the reading of Pa Akindayomi’s sealed pronouncement after his burial. Since 1981, an open explosion began with the number of parishes growing in leaps and bounds. At the last count, there are over 2000 parishes of the Redeemed Christian Church of God in Nigeria.

On the International scene, the church is present in other African nations and in other continents of the world. One of the well-known programs of the church is the Holy Ghost Service, an all night miracle service that holds on the first Friday of every month at the Redemption Camp at km. 46, Lagos-Ibadan expressway. The Holy Ghost Service now holds in London quarterly and in other parts of the world. Another major service is the Holy Ghost congress which holds in the second week of December every year at the Redemption Camp.
