My name is Brother Emmanuel Nnabugo. I reside at Adeoya Street, Mushin, Lagos. I became a true member of The Lord’s Chosen Charismatic Revival Ministries in Qatar, when our G.O. visited the country in 2014.

My case was like the biblical account of Prophet Jonah who in attempt to run away from serving God, ended up in fish’s belly. So, here in Nigeria, our father would force us to go to The Lord’s Chosen and would threaten us that if we did not go to the church, there would be no food for us. So, we were going to The Lord’s Chosen under duress and to make the matter worse, he bought seven megaphones for seven of us in the house for mandatory morning cry every day. To evade that, I told him I did not know what to preach.

He said we should take the megaphones to the streets in the morning, and while there, we should say, “repent for the kingdom of God is near.” So because of the fear of my father, I did it just to please him; In fact, it actually was not coming from my mind. To ensure that his instructions were carried out, my father had to come to our street junction to monitor whether we were actually doing the morning cry, or not.

My daddy was a very strict man. In 2013, he said if we do not preach Christ to the world that he would disown us.

Eventually in 2014, I got a visa to travel to Qatar, when the visa came I was so happy that at least, I would be free from going to The Lord’s Chosen and doing morning cry everyday. But one remarkable thing that happened during that time I was preaching was that, I was afflicted with stomach ulcer, but as I was obeying the instruction of my father to serve God, I did not know when the ulcer disappeared till today. Praise the Lord!

When I got to Qatar, I became a cleaner in a company where I was receiving peanut as salary, but that did not bother me because I was happy leaving Nigeria and my father.

While in Qatar, a friend of mine informed that a Lord’s Chosen Pastor was coming to Qatar. I said, which Chosen man, hope you are not referring to the one in Nigeria?

Eventually, it became the general overseer of the church that came and my friend ensured that I attended the programme, which I reluctantly did, even though I got there very late. G.O was almost rounding off his prayers, when I got there. As I saw the G.O, I said so this man came to Qatar to find me out; I had also said similar word him in Nigeria.

As God would have it, I listened to the few counsels he had for us and as he was praying, he said: “This is Arab country and that we should desist from evil, so that, it shall be well with us. I release my angels to follow the Chosen ones, moreover, those of you without good jobs, God will grant you good jobs in Jesus’ name.” I was so happy and claimed the prayers.

But one very important thing I said to myself was: if the G.O could come again to Qatar to locate me, it means God has destined me to be a member of The Lord’s Chosen indeed! That was how I surrendered my life fully to God of Chosen. Then, after a month of the G.O’s visit and prayers, miracle happened. I got a very good job with overwhelming salary. P-r-a-i-s-e, The Lord!
