REVELATION; How Nigerian Cleric turned sand into fuel

In a powerful recount of divine intervention, Pastor Michael Ojo, a seasoned evangelist, recently shared an extraordinary testimony about his first mentor, the late Prophet Timothy Oluwole Obadare.

The incident, which occurred during a 1981 evangelistic crusade, left an indelible mark on Pastor Ojo and solidified his belief in the boundless power of faith.

Pastor Ojo spoke of his early years under the guidance of Prophet Obadare, describing the renowned preacher as a man of unparalleled wisdom and unwavering faith. “Prophet Obadare was my first mentor, and he poured so much into me.

“He was a great man of God, filled with wisdom and faith,” Pastor Ojo recalled.

The powerful story he shared took place during a trip to northern Nigeria for a crusade. As the group traveled along a desolate road, the vehicle suddenly ran out of fuel.

The driver, concerned and anxious, informed Prophet Obadare, “We don’t have fuel in the car.” However, Baba Obadare, known for his serene confidence, calmly responded, “Just keep going.”

As the journey continued, the car began to sputter and jerk, prompting the driver to repeat his earlier warning: “I told you, Baba, there is no gas, no fuel.”

Despite the ominous situation, Prophet Obadare remained unfazed. He asked the driver, “Is there any filling station around?” The driver, surveying the barren landscape, answered, “No.”

Undeterred, Prophet Obadare then inquired, “What do you see around?” The driver pointed to a bricklayer working nearby.

Without hesitation, Prophet Obadare instructed the driver to approach the bricklayer and collect the sand he was using.

When the driver returned with buckets of sand, Prophet Obadare remained calm and composed. He directed the driver to open the vehicle’s fuel tank and then offered a prayer that would leave everyone stunned.

“Lord, they are waiting for me. Turn this sand into fuel,” Baba Obadare prayed, before pouring the sand into the vehicle’s tank.

Miraculously, the engine roared to life.

The vehicle, now powered solely by sand, continued its journey uninterrupted, completing the arduous trip from the north to Akure in the south.

Pastor Ojo, visibly moved as he recalled the event, declared, “That’s why I will never doubt miracles. Baba Obadare’s faith and the power of God knew no limits.”
