“A certain brother was travelling somewhere. At a point, he stopped over at a restaurant to eat. He placed his order for pounded yam and egusi soup and they served him. He prayed seriously on the food, not the kind of prayer people pray when they want to eat like, “O Lord, bless this food for Christ’s sake.” That is no prayer .

As he took the pounded yam and was about to use it to touch the soup, something like sun-rays seemed to come from heaven and broke the plate of soup into pieces, and the soup was scattered all over the floor. He was shocked. Some people in the canteen asked, “Excuse me, do you go to church?” He said, “Yes I do”. Then they said he should continue to go there, because the God that he is serving is a powerful God .

The brother did not know that in that restaurant, on that day, they were trying to poison a man, but the steward made a mistake and served it to the brother, and they did not know how to warn him against taking the food. So, they were just watching him. But when they saw the plate crack into pieces, they realized there was a power higher than all powers, and they bowed to Jesus .

There was the case of another brother whom God told that his next-door neighbour was a witch, and whenever the witch was going out at night, God would wake him up and let him know about it. Then one day, the woman said she was celebrating her birthday and cooked some rice and chicken.

She served the brother some of the food and he took it. When he took the plate, something reminded him that God had told him that the woman was a witch. He refused to heed and said, “It is written, if I drink anything deadly, it shall not harm me” . He cited scriptures to support his gluttony and began to swallow the food. Before he finished the food, trouble started, and he was rushed to us. They prayed seriously for him because he almost died.”
