Interviewer’s Questions in Bold Italics

(Interviewer’s Questions in Bold Italics)

Evangelist Wesley, thank you very much for agreeing to this interview. Could you give us a brief biography about yourself and your background, as well as how you got into the faith.

I was born into a Christian family. From childhood, I was taught about purity by my Sunday school teacher. I grew up living my life in purity and chastity.

But I was goodly, yet, not godly. To be goodly is to be morally upright. It is different from being Godly.

Being Godly is a step further from being goodly. Godliness is living the God-kind of life on Earth.

One day, I came across John 3:3. It really astounded me. I read it audibly. Fortunately, my mom was there with me. She explained it in details to me, in a manner which convinced me deep in my spirit.

My mom led me to Christ that day. That is how I came into the faith.

How did you discover that you were called into the ministry. Also, what was your response to the call.

Well, after I gave my life to Christ and got born again, I pursued the things of God with a lot of zeal and fervency.

My eyes were blind to the calling of God upon my life, until the Lord began to give me instructions to carry out.

I took counsel from different fathers in faith in regards to my divinely ordained purpose.

Amazingly, they all gave answers that were aligned. One thing that was common in all their counsels, was that I was called into ministry.

What was the initial stage of your call like?

I started by going from school to school, especially secondary schools, preaching the Gospel and introducing students to Christ.

My ministry was centred on secondary school students until the Lord extended my borders.

What has been your greatest battle in ministry

I have had a lot of battles in ministry, but I think the greatest of them all is consistency. I battled with being consistent in whatever project, Spiritual and otherwise that I engaged myself in. I believe I’m gaining grounds in that battle now.

What would you describe as the greatest miracle of God in your ministry?

God, in His infinite mercy has done a lot of great things in my Ministry. We’ve seen several drastic Miracles. Yet, none of this enrapture me as much as the miracle of salvation.

I love it when men receive salvation and get totally transformed. It is always a great experience. I consider the miracle of salvation to be the greatest miracle of God on Earth.

And I am grateful to God, that I am seeing that miracle happen frequently in my ministry.

What has kept your ministry thriving?

Love and affection to see people change and most importantly, spending more time daily to God and hearing God before action is taken.

I had many opportunities that came my way as a minister. Although, they seemed to be attractive and glittering, I rejected them because of the counsel of God to me.

The secret to success in ministry lies in ones ability to always hear from God before making decisions.

How do you balance between your ministry and other aspects of your life?

I live with vision and focus. Those two things are very important in having a balanced Christian Life.

What is your final advice to ministers?

Let every minister be patient with God. Patience is virtue. It is golden. The Voice of God must equally be prioritized in a minister’s life. You must not do things haphazardly.

Love must also be the lifestyle of the Minister. He must love with all his heart. The transformation of people must be his priority and his joy, and not mere material resources.
