In an inspiring testament to divine timing and spiritual awakening, Reverend Ezekiel shares his extraordinary journey from being a Junior Secondary School 3 student to becoming an established preacher who has touched countless lives through his ministry.
The Unexpected Calling During School Days
Reverend Ezekiel's path to ministry began at an age when most teenagers are preoccupied with academics and social life. While still in JSS3, he experienced a profound spiritual awakening that would redirect his life's purpose. "It wasn't something I planned or anticipated," the reverend recounts, "but when God calls, you cannot ignore the voice."
Early Challenges and Divine Confirmations
The young Ezekiel faced numerous challenges balancing his educational responsibilities with his growing spiritual duties. Many questioned how someone so young could claim to have received a divine mandate. However, repeated confirmations and the evident impact of his early ministry work silenced doubters and strengthened his resolve.
Witnessing Transformations Through Ministry
Over the years, Reverend Ezekiel has witnessed remarkable transformations in the lives of those he has ministered to. From broken families restored to individuals finding new purpose, his work has become a beacon of hope for many in his community and beyond.
"The most humbling part of this journey," he shares, "has been seeing how God uses ordinary vessels to accomplish extraordinary things. When I look back to my JSS3 days and see where the ministry is today, I can only attribute it to divine grace."
Lessons from Years of Service
Reverend Ezekiel's experience offers valuable insights for both young people discovering their purpose and established ministers alike:
- Age is no barrier to divine purpose - God can call anyone at any stage of life
- Authenticity matters more than eloquence - Being genuine in ministry creates deeper impact
- Perseverance through doubt - Staying committed despite skepticism leads to breakthrough
- Continuous spiritual growth - The calling requires constant development and learning
A Message to the Next Generation
Reverend Ezekiel emphasizes that young people should remain open to spiritual guidance and divine direction. "Don't limit what God can do through you because of your age or circumstances," he advises. "If He could use a JSS3 student, He can use anyone willing to answer the call."
His remarkable story continues to inspire many in Nigeria's religious community, proving that when it comes to serving a higher purpose, conventional timelines and expectations often don't apply.
