This interview was in February 2004, three months after Eji Owuro was released.
When challenges come, and it looks like I should give up, I am led to, with staying strong and being sure of The Father's mercy, read my old books, look at old pictures, and see how far the mercy of GOD has brought me.
Line upon line, step on step, on purpose, I am here. And still going on, strong and steady. Here cannot even compare to the beauty of "there", as much as I am deeply thankful and privileged to have been here at all.
Whoever you are, let your hope rise again at this time. It is a journey. Success does not happen "just like that". You got here, you'll get there. And I am talking to myself too!
Raise your head up, square your shoulders, it'll occur to you that your feet have been made strong all this while, you only didn't know because your head was bowed in discouragement!
You've found it like me? Keep at it. You are not sure of it? Put in more effort at what you've found for now, it'll unfold. You are confused about it? Be your best at what you're doing now and strive to find it, you'll find.
You'll see the change. I see the change. The growth. The transformation. The metamorphosis wasn't easy. A lot of groanings, but still keeping on. Even as a higher step is being climbed now, but I see the change. See the change!
Remember that Baba Abraham laughed himself, who directly got the promise? Not to talk of Mama Sarah? Both of them! Check out The Book properly again! Remember the change they eventually saw? I am trying to say, it may tarry but it won't! Ó lè pé sugbon kò lè yè!
This has been my confidence over the years, coupled with doing whatever my hands find to do with all my might, living by the values of The Father, learning from every situation, picking that which is beneficial to me, using the method of separation, seclusion, segregation; my mind being transformed everyday.
And I see the change! Oh, I see the change! And I shall see the change! Yes, I shall!
See the change! Oh, you shall see the change!
Reflect a bit. Disallow and diffuse all the pressure pushing you. Think back, sincerely. See the change!
We shall see the change!
