Welcome to 12 Minute Converse with Jesus Believers.

God chose first to have a conversation with us, his creation.

Our prayer is that this listening space brings growth and transforms your life forever.

Praise God for you, Pastor Sam.

It's a great pleasure to connect with you.

What part of the world are you in today?

Yeah, I'm in Nigeria.

If I went with only the meanings of your name, I think we could have an entire hour-long conversation.

For those that aren't aware, would you tell us the meaning of your other names?

Not Sam, but what I would imagine is pronounced as Amalarin Adigoke.

Did I do that correctly?

Okay.

So, aside from the fact that I guess Sam, I'll also be Amalarin, which means God makes me laugh.

God has made me laugh.

We can also say that, you know.

It's a name that actually means that, you know.

I can say, literally speaking, that the same name in the Bible called Isaac is actually the Yoruba pronunciation of Pamelarin.

You know, God makes me laugh.

I think that's also the Hebrew meaning of Isaac.

You know, so that's the meaning of Pamelarin.

God has made me laugh.

And the other name, pronounce the other name so I can see if I did it correctly or not.

Adigoke.

Adigoke.

Adigoke.

Yes.

That's an exalted proud.

Yes, exalted proud.

Do you believe that the name you're given ultimately defines the life you live?

Definitely so.

Definitely so.

I personally believe that names are not just nomenclatures.

Names are not just, you know, just to identify as something or as someone.

Name actually is a revelation of one's identity.

It's also a revelation of one's destiny.

That's why it's very important that we are careful of the kind of name that we bear or that we answer to.

So I believe that my name, Pamelarin, is actually my present experience.

You know, I believe that, you know, God has made many lives happy through my life.

And I believe that God is still doing so.

You know, so I believe that my name is actually a revelation of my current experience.

How did you come to meet Jesus?

Amazing question.

So I must say that my parents are, you know, people that love the Lord.

So I grew up in a Christian home.

You know, I grew up seeing my parents serve the Lord.

In fact, before my dad responded to the call of God, there was a man of God that always come to our house.

And at that time, that man of God traveled from another city to our city.

So he had been looking for how to start up his ministry.

I remember that my parents gave him all the support that he needed.

In fact, he started the church ministry from our house.

So I grew up in that environment, you know, learning the things of God.

But I remember leading the choir at the age of 12.

You know, the mass choir at the age of 12 in a town meeting.

I also remember joining a drama group, right?

Just a bit after that, you know, in my teenage age.

So I grew up knowing the Lord, you know.

But, you know, there's that point whereby you get to know God for yourself.

Yes.

You know, you might know church, but you don't know the God of the church.

You know, you might be singing hymns, but you don't know him.

So I grew up in that church environment.

But for a long time, I didn't have a personal encounter or a personal revelation of who God is until during my teenage age.

It was during my teenage age that I can say, OK, I had a personal encounter with the Lord for myself.

Tell me about the evolution that brought you to Mobile Fire Mentorship Network.

So, like I said, since that time, there has been this hunger.

I just knew that there is more in God.

I wanted to press into more of God and I wanted to see many others also pressing into more of God.

So I remember getting admitted into a university, right?

The university where I did my degree.

So when I got into, when I got on campus, I remember going to one of those prayer grounds to go and pray.

And while I was praying there, I just wanted to be a blessing to people.

I just wanted to show people that there is more in God than the nominal level of Christianity.

I knew that there was something deeper in God that we all can press into.

So I just went there that day to pray.

I was praying alone.

But while I was praying, I was asking God, I was telling God what I want.

Lord, I want the anointing.

Lord, I want more of your presence.

I want more of your glory.

And you know, while I was praying, God asked me a question.

He said, you have been asking for what you want, but do you ever ask me what I want?

And I was like, whoa.

So God told me clearly that day that I've always been asking him, God, this is what I want from you.

God, this is what I want you to do for me.

Oh, Lord, this is what I want.

And God told me specifically that day that, have you ever paused to actually ask me what I want?

So then I changed my prayers.

Lord, what do you want?

What do you want me to do?

Then God told me, he said, ensure that the fire I give to you, the hunger I give to you, the passion I put on the inside of you, ensure that you spread it upon as many people as you can.

And that was the day I was called Mobile Fire.

That was the day that revelation of that name called Mobile Fire came to me.

You know, so eventually later, as I began to pray, as I began to, you know, bring people in, you know, that's where the mentorship network began.

Because a lot of people wanted to just have an experience of God through my ministry.

Many of them wanted to be mentored.

Many of them, as they pray, God will lead them to me to be their spiritual father, to be their mentor.

And so when I realized that their number is increasing, so I decided to just have a network for them where I can consistently teach them the word of God.

And that's how Mobile Fire mentorship network came.

Absolutely amazing.

The Elijah Generation Church, the name again, if we're tapping into the power of names, why call it Elijah Generation Church?

Also, so Elijah Generation Church, I remember God telling me that Elijah is more than a human being.

Elijah is actually a prophetic symbol.

Because God told me, he said that even John was, he said, the Bible says John came in the spirit and power of Elijah.

So Elijah did not end with that man in the Old Testament.

Elijah's spirit, the Elijah mandate continued even in that man called John.

Just like Jezebel also did not end, right, with Jezebel.

Jezebel continued with Herodias.

I remember it was through Herodias that the prophet John, you know, his life was taken.

So God told me, said Elijah is not just a man.

Elijah is actually a prophetic symbol in the spirit.

That's why the Bible says John came in the spirit and power of Elijah.

So God told me, said that he wants to raise the voices of God, prophetic people, not just in church, but in the secular space.

God wants Elijah to arise in politics.

God wants Elijah to arise in fashion.

God wants Elijah to arise in the media.

So God told me, said Elijah is not just a man that should sit down in church.

We want to see the spirit of Elijah, find expression in other sectors.

So that the glory of God can cover the earth, just like the waters cover the sea.

So that's the vision behind the Elijah Generation Church.

What is the biggest challenge in your ministry?

The biggest challenge I must say in my ministry, that's a very deep question.

I would say that, you know, anywhere things are working, it's people making it work.

You know, the Bible says the work is plenty, but the laborers are few.

So I would say that as much as we have many men on ground, I still feel like we need more yielded men.

You know, you can have a whole number of men, but you have a little number of yielded men.

So I believe that the gospel thrives on men.

So I would say that, you know, men, men, men.

I believe that our own challenge as a ministry is not just about finances.

Okay, you know, I know that many churches, many ministries, we have financial issues, you know, in the sense of, okay, they want to do more things.

But, you know, the finances is not there to push the work and all of that.

But I believe that even if you have money on ground, you still need men.

God is a God of people.

God used men to get men.

God used men to save men.

It is saved men that save others.

So I would say that the greatest challenge is, you know, the greatest challenge I can say is, you know, men, you know, having more men.

Yielded men, people that are sold out to God.

You know, such persons are not easy to find upon the landscape, you know.

So that's what I would call the greatest challenge.

Alright, five years from today, you're listening to this conversation.

You would have heard the evolution in your voice here.

You would have heard Sam five years younger and his passion, his conversation about mobile fire, coming through drama, coming through worship leading the team at 12.

Right.

What would you say as or leave as a message to future you?

I would say whether you get the applaud or not, just keep pleasing Jesus.

Don't allow the destruction of your generation to delude you.

Don't be don't submit to the distractions in your generation.

Never allow your voice to be silenced.

And never allow your public life be stronger than your private life.

So I would say I would say that to my younger self.

In closing, is there anything else you'd like to share?

Personally, I would like to just share this, that there is a difference between walking for God and walking with God.

You can get so lost in walking for God that you will lose touch on walking with God.

So no matter what we do for God, our primary goal must be to please our master.

Our primary goal must be to be intimate.

We must not be lost in activities to a point whereby we will lose touch on intimacy.

God is much more concerned about our intimacy with him than in our activities for him.

So that's the word I'm going to put out.

I'm going to say Christians should become more intimacy minded than activity minded.

Pastor Sam, this has been a great honor.

I definitely want to make mention of your first name and the meaning of it as well.

More than likely being a shortened version of Samuel.

And it would represent God as heard.

I thank you for the power of your voice.

The words that you're speaking in ministry.

So that God is heard.

Again, a pleasure.

I treasure.

Thank you for being on what is Inspired.
