The former General Evangelist of Christ Apostolic Church Worldwide, Prophet Samuel K. Abiara has said his family and friends didn't initially support him when he told them God called him.
Prophet Abiara stated further that they told him he was lazy and he didn't want to work.
The renowned Evangelist said this in an interview with Punch Newspaper.
Prophet Abiara who is now being referred to as "Worldwide Evangelist" explained that; "My family and friends didn’t support me at first; they said I was lazy and didn’t want to work. But I never felt discouraged because of God’s promise that He would be with me and provide me with everything I wanted."
"I was called in 1963, and God has sustained me and performed miracles through me. For the past 53 years, I have been under the care of God. When I was working under a man of God, I was earning 150kobo. It was at that time that God told me that he wanted me to leave and preach the gospel. I didn’t want to do that at first because I had seen a lot of prophets going about with their bells and the sight was not appealing to me. I had already registered my company but God told me that He would give me anything I wanted in life, if I obeyed His instruction. I am so grateful that He has never left me till this point."
"I thank God because my time in office as the General Evangelist of CAC Worldwide was memorable and God used me to win souls into His kingdom. Through the ministry, I was able to lead people to Christ. I also thank God for the unity in the church because where there is unity, things will work smoothly."
