In this interview with Koinonia Art’s Journalist, Godwin Wobo, Stephen that shares with us, his life story.

(Interviewer’s Questions in Bold Italics)

Tell us about your Background.

I am from a good family background. My Mom was an Evangelist, not necessarily by title, but she did the work of an EVANGELIST alot.

She would be sick, yet, would still go for Evangelism. Her bad health could not stop her. She was definitely a woman full of pious love and reverence for the things of God.

My Dad was not really stable, but God was helping him.

I got born again in 2014. It was a beautiful experience. But a while later, I backslid. I fell from The Faith.

I totally changed in 2016. No one preached to me. I had an Encounter with God that transformed me overnight, and made me come back to the Lord.

How was the inception stage of your ministry?

It was pretty cool. I think I would have preferred it to what I see now. I hated crowds. I love to be hidden. Then, it was just myself and twelve others that the Lord had sent to me. Eventually, things began to change. Doors of expansion began to open, and here I today, more known than I was before.

What was your greatest challenge in ministry?

I have faced several challenges in ministry. Both Physical and Spiritual challenges. But I think the greatest of these challenges is that, I was very determined to know who my wife would be, (laughs).

I was so interested in knowing God’s will for my marital status, that I began to get distracted from God’s purpose for my ministry.

Thank God for His enlightenment. I realized it was a mere distraction. When the right time comes, the right woman would come.

But it was a challenge overcoming those thoughts and obsession with who I might marry.


You have witnessed several incredible miracles of God in your life. Yet, which of these miracles would you describe as very fascinating?

For me, there is no Miracle which is greater than the miracle of salvation.


As you said, God has performed incredible miracles in my ministry. I have seen miracle alerts, HIV Positive turn Negative, deaf ears opened, Blind eyes seeing, Ulcer dissipating etc. The list is endless. God has been very faithful to us.

In spite of these, I’ll still say that the Miracle of salvation is the greatest.

There is no Miracle as great as a sinner becoming a saint; a strumpet becoming a prophet; an atheism extremist becoming a lover of the Gospel.

These are miracles we see daily. Lives transformed. Minds renewed. There is no Miracle as great as that.

Ever since its inception, your ministry has thrived. Despite the Pandemic and lockdown, it keeps growing bigger. Evangelist, what is the secret to the continuous thrive of your ministry?

Quite a lot of persons have asked me that question. And when they ask me, they probably expect a big answer.

But the secret to my success in Ministry is that I always follow the leading of The Holy Spirit. What He says I should do, I do. What He says I shouldn’t do, I do not do. The Holy Spirit is very important to success both in ministry and in every other endeavor.

I do not even see this work as my ministry. It is His Ministry. I am merely the caretaker.

He has His compass orchestrated for the leading of His Ministry. As His caretaker here on Earth, my job is to continually look at that compass and align myself with the angle it is reading.




Sir, you’re a a student, as well as a preacher. These two facets of life can be quite tasking and demanding of attention. Yet, you’re excelling in the both of them. How do you do that?

God helps me in my academics. It may seem unbelievable, but when I’m preparing for exams, I do not read the entire topics in the recommended texts.

The Holy Spirit directs me to the topics from which the exam questions will be set. I study those topics intensively, and discover on the day of the exam, that indeed, the exam was set from them.

What are some of the things you are grateful for in Ministry?

I am presently in full time ministry and am grateful for many things.

The crowds that turn up at our crusades.
The speed He granted me.
His mercies He has shown me.
The signs and wonders .
The expansion in finances, numbers etc.

I am very grateful to God for these things and I attribute them to nothing else but His Grace.

What advice would you give to ministers globally. Especially the young ones?

While you have alot of prophecies over your life, ensure to yield to divine Instructions and principles. Young ministers are particularly stubborn when it comes to following God bureaucratically.

The passions of ones youth can tempt one to serve God recklessly. But God is a God of order. And He be followed based on the Principles which He has revealed in Scriptures, and the Instructions which He gives to us through The Holy Spirit.

Never attend a meeting God wants you to attend without leaving that meeting with a decision made and an action to take.
