It Was Raw Faith and Zeal; No Wisdom!

Testimony of Archbishop Nicholas Duncan-Williams.

“I Dishonoured the Old Man, I was very stupid!

Oral Robert came to Ghana, we filled the stadium during those days, huge inside, everywhere was packed!

This got into my head when I saw the numbers, it got into my head when I saw the numbers / Crowd.

I was very young at that time…

So foolish!

– Archbishop Nicholas Duncan-Williams

I remember when I began, I was very successful in Ghana as the first charismatic church,

and I was having problem with my Spiritual Father, Archbishop Benson Idahosa of Blessed Memory.

Oral Robert came to Ghana, we filled the stadium during those days, huge inside, everywhere was packed.

This got into my head when I saw the numbers, it got into my head when i saw the numbers / Crowd.

I was very young at that time!

It Was Raw Faith and Zeal, No Wisdom!

And so, when Oral Robert went back to America, he did a newsletter and, in the newsletter, he said that Action Chapel was one of the branches of Archbishop Benson Idahosa.

One of my young pastors saw that and said,

‘’it’s wrong, you have to put a disclaimer on it. Archbishop Benson Idahosa is your Spiritual father, but your church is not for him”.

I was very stupid because if he is my spiritual father, and he trained me, what is wrong if he claims that my church is his?

Anyway, so I wrote to Oral Robert to change that thing he put in his newsletter,

and that action chapel is not part of Archbishop Beson Idahosa Church.

So Oral Robert sent the letter to Archbishop Idahosa and Idahosa sent Bishop Coker, the principal of my Bible school,

and two other lectures that taught me in the Bible school in the early seventies to come and talk to me.

So, they came, and they said,

“listen, Papa want you to come to Benin (A city in Nigeria where the archbishop resided at the time) to meet him on this matter,

and I said to them go and tell him I’m not coming!

And Bishop Coker said, what did you say?

I’m not coming.

And he said, Nicholas, do you know the implications of what you just said?

And I said, I don’t care.

Proverbs 11:2 KJV

[2]  When pride cometh, then cometh shame: But with the lowly is wisdom.

https://bible.com/bible/1/pro.11.2.KJV  

I was the only charismatic church. Everybody came to my church. We were huge. I was making…., we had the numbers.

And so, for whatever reason, I dishonoured the old man.

So, they went back to tell him that Nicholas said he wasn’t coming.

Then he (Archbishop Beson Idahosa) sent me a letter and said,

 “Nicholas, now that you think you have arrived and you don’t need me anymore, I am officially releasing you to cover yourself and your family henceforth. And I have no dealings to do with you whatsoever.”

It Was Raw Faith and Zeal, No Wisdom! – Testimony of Archbishop Duncan-Williams

Before them, anytime I had a dream when I was young and I was battling and confronting things,

every time I would see the old man (Archbishop) appear and he would join me in the battle. And I always had the upper hand.

But From that day when I received that letter, I never saw him in my dreams anymore.

I remember I took the letter, and I burned the letter. And I said, I don’t care who you are.

You have no power over me. We are all anointed by God.

So foolish!

because I was very powerful at that time.

I’m still anointed, but I attach a lot of wisdom now than then. That time it was raw faith and zeal, No wisdom.

Immediately after that, immediately after that, I started having some challenges with the then president (Of my Country), national security problems everywhere.

It went on for two years.

I have to relocate my family and people said, leave the country and I said, no, no, no, no,

I’m not leaving this country. God put me here. I will be here.

And there were all kinds of things! up to assassination,

And the night before the assassination, the words of the Lord came and told us exactly what’s going to happen and the time and everything;

and it happened just as we were told.

But God gave me an escape. He gave me an escape.

And it went on for two years.

I talked to my Auntie, and so many others to intervene with the president, (President Rawlings), to try and hear my side because nobody will hear me.

I was heavily misrepresented, character assassinated, high level!

And one day I went to London, and somebody told me that Archbishop Idahosa was coming to London.

He was speaking in Kensington Temple. So, I cornered him,

And when he stepped out of the car coming in, I fell on the ground and I said, MERCY! MERCY!!, MERCY !!!.

Somebody is Praying Mercies!!!.

And you know what he said?

He said, “Satan! This fight is between me and my son.

Stand down. Stay out of it”.!

Peace.
