JUST ONE ENCOUNTER WITH DESTINY CAN RESET YOUR LIFE FOR GOOD: TELLING GOD-STORIES

"So He will do to me whatever He has planned.
He CONTROLS MY DESTINY" (Job 23:14 - NLT).

"You guide me with Your counsel,
leading me to a GLORIOUS DESTINY" (Psalm 73:24- NLT).

The two Scriptures above were revealed to me two years before this encounter that you are about to read. I was working at one of leading training organizations in Nigeria. I never knew on that day when the CEO of the company sent the crew out for training that God was using him to set me on a path that will forever change my life. I had an encounter with God by coming in contact with this woman of God. If you have read or hear my testimonies and stories before, you will discover that I celebrate God's MAGIC MOMENTS every time. I want to use this story again to encourage and challenge all women (mothers) in Ohio to attend this event on Saturday.

The letter below summarizes my story. I sent this to Pastor Funke Adejumo almost 20 years ago. Guess what? God's stories does not age with time. It will inspire you to have an expectation on God and not on any other man or thing. He is a DESTINY - CHANGER!

June 7, 2007.

To: Our Dear Mummy and Daddy Adejumo,

Even if we are not sure of anything about you, we are pretty sure that His abiding presence is ever with you. To say it's decades ago is no exaggeration! The last time we set our eyes on Mummy Adejumo was when she came to minister at U.I. in 2003.

How time flies. This is just to refresh your mind about the faithfulness of God to the words you and Bishop spoke into my life at Premier Hotel (Ibadan) the day I was privileged to meet with these two "love-birds" (Mama & Papa Adejumo).

I feel like sharing the experience with you again. I was at Premier Hotel (Ibadan) for a conference organized by the company I worked with. I was sitting at the registration desk when I saw Mummy Adejumo arriving.  I quickly left my seat, walked up to her and ask, "Are you Mrs.  Adejumo?” She answered with a smile, "Hun-un, may be her friend," and then she continued, "Yes I am by the grace of God." I told her how I listened to a message she preached at Christ Life Church many years ago, and my life was permanently influenced and have been looking for an opportunity to meet her. After a while I asked, "Where is Daddy?", "He is right there at the booking desk, Sweetheart, someone want to meet you" she beckoned.

I then volunteered to assist in moving their luggage into the hotel room. While I was going, I was thinking I need to book an appointment with this couple in Akure, so that I would travel down and share my dream with them. Suddenly I remembered Pastor Kumuyi's testimony. He told a story of a woman who had believed God for the fruit of the womb for years. She read about wonderful testimonies happening in Kumuyi's ministry and she had been praying to meet him someday. On this fateful day, the woman met with him at the Airport while he was going to join another plane.  "Are you Dr. Kumuyi?” she asked. "Oh yes, by the grace of God." He answered. Then she continued, "I have been looking for an opportunity to meet you, the doctor said I can never have a child. It's been difficult to get in touch with you, but now that I have seen you, I want you to give me an appointment so that when I come to Lagos, I would be allowed to see you. Then I would be able to share all the problems with you, and then you will REALLY pray for me." When she finished, Pastor Kumuyi looked at her and smiled saying, "Why are you looking for an appointment when there is an appointment here already?" The woman said, "You mean God can answer a prayer just like that here on the tarmac?" He prayed with her right away and to the glory of God, the woman traveled down to Nigeria the following year with her miracle child!

I just remembered that statement, "Why are you looking for an appointment when there is an appointment already?” Right there in the hotel room, I asked mummy that I had wanted to meet her because I have a vision of distributing anointed messages from God's generals to students on Campus, and she is one of the generals that I would like to distribute their materials. I asked for her permission to do so. With all humility, she answered, "That is a great vision and my heart agrees with you”. Then she continued, “but unfortunately, we don't have any of our messages left here with us, they are all sold out in London. But feel free to come around anytime for whatever you need."

My goodness, I was so excited. Then I rushed down to grab my catalogue of audio tapes and showed it to her. In amazement, she asked, "You mean you have all these messages?" I said, "By the grace of God." Can you record some for me today?" she asked, I said I would try.

Against all odds, after closing from work that evening, I went out to do the recording. I could not finish until around past 10pm and I rushed to the hotel (since they had to leave the hotel very early the next day). I got there, and she was so dazed. She said, “Bro. Kuye, you mean you could get the work done today?" and she said something I would never forget in my life, “You see that’s how people ENCOUNTER DESTINY!” She turned to her loving husband and said, “Let’s pray for this brother Sweetheart”.

As I knelt before them by the swimming pool, Bishop Adejumo looked straight into my eyes and asked, “What are your heart desires…?” Waoh! This is a million-dollar question. I gathered my thoughts together and while I was still thinking, Mummy Adejumo asked another thrilling question, “Are you engaged?” I quickly answered, No! Then I told my desires by uttering these words, “I want God to grant me speed and establish my relationship and ministry.” The duo prayed and prophesied upon my life that night. When I stood up, I knew there was an unusual deposit from heaven upon my life that day. Mummy Adejumo gave me her current book titled, “Marriage is For Destiny” (This encounter occurred on the 9^th of March, 2001 @ Premier Hotel, Rm., 112).

The resultant effects of that encounter are as follows:

·        Before the end of that same year, I met my Lump of Delight (fiancée) (Dec. 2001)

·        The beginning of the following year, I gained admission into the University of Ibadan for my Post graduate program and I became the Leader of the PG Fellowship of Ibadan Varsity Christian Union (2002).

·        The following year (2003), after two solid years of “sugar moon” (courtship) experience with my heartthrob, we entered a lifetime honeymoon.

·        The following year (2004), by divine orchestration, we relocated to the United States with all dignity and had our first daughter – Blessing. That same year, God connected us to one of His generals, Pastors Sam and Funmi Adeyemi whose relationship has been of immense blessings.

For time and space, I would not be able to enumerate all the things that have happened in our lives since that single encounter. It opened a volcanic eruption of blessing upon our lives that we can never recover from. Mummy and Daddy Adejumo, I cannot but put together this testimony to encourage some people in your church of the need to value and appreciate any encounter with the vessels of life.

In closing, we want to once again appreciate the grace of God upon your lives and ministry and it’s our deepest prayer that the glory of God upon you will not be turned to trash. You shall see the fulfillment of the promises of God for your life, children, grand-children, great – grand-children and ministry in the precious name of Jesus.

On behalf of my best support system – Oludolapo Precious and my angels – Blessing Ayomide and Faith Ayomidotun, I am saying we love you.

In His ever-abiding love,

Sam Kuye

I sent that letter in 2007 and was privileged to be at the Ohio MOthers Summit last year even though I'm a brother. I simply said to myself, "Sam, today you are a 'brotherly-sister' and you must be at the event". Men are also invited to this year and I believe God will HAPPEN for everyone on Saturday.

I shared more about this testimony in my book coming out in April 2017 titled, "How to Be Led by the Holy Spirit".  It will be a blessing to you. Also, you can get a copy of my new book on this link: Commanding Supernatural Results

In His ever Increasing Love,

Samson King, M.Div.
