How to set up a personal prayer altar - Apostle Arome Osayi

Today’s Christians never cease to amaze me! How can someone be called to teach, yet you’re angry that they support their teachings with personal encounters with God? How can you trust a teacher who has no personal experience of the spiritual realities they teach? Do you even understand the calling of a WITNESS? Acts 26:16 — “But rise and stand on your feet; for I have appeared to you for this purpose, to make you a minister and a WITNESS BOTH OF THE THINGS WHICH YOU HAVE SEEN AND OF THE THINGS WHICH I WILL YET REVEAL TO YOU.” Apostle Arome Osayi’s sermons never made me feel inferior. Instead, they challenged me to seek God until I began to have my own supernatural encounters. Look inward, it could be your insecurities throwing tantrums. The next time you open your Bible, avoid the book of Revelation because it records Apostle John’s encounters. Rip out Jeremiah because you’re uncomfortable with his personal experiences. Call heaven to protest against David because so many Psalms speak of “I will praise God” and “my soul…” this, curse Apostle Paul because 1 and 2 Corinthians contain so much personal testimony about his ministry, revelations, weaknesses, and sufferings. Apparently, personal encounters were acceptable when they were recorded in Scripture, but suddenly become suspicious when a minister speaks about them today. The issue is not whether a minister has personal encounters. The issue is whether those encounters align with Scripture and exalt Jesus Christ. May the Lord give you all understanding.
