I Celebrate With Pastor Paul Tao On Life @ 70

How do you feel as your mentor, Pastor Paul Tao clocks 70-year on earth? 
Ans: I celebrate his remarkable 70th birthday,  I find myself reflecting on the immense impact he has had, not only on my life but on the entire music scene in our country, he has been a pioneering force, ushering in a generation of exceptional guitarists and musicians, and for that, we owe him a profound debt of gratitude.
From my earliest memories, I was captivated by his  musical productions, his  collaborations with legends like Evangelist J.A. Adelakun (Ayewa) brought forth timeless songs such as “Amona Tete Ma Bo,” which have left an indelible mark on my heart and inspired countless others. His work with Chief Ebenezer Obey further cemented his status as a foundational pillar in our musical heritage. These productions from the 1980s were more than just music; they were a call to many of us, igniting dreams and aspirations. For me, they solidified my resolve to become a guitarist, keyboardist, and music producer.

Que: How would you linked Pastor Tao’ s guitarist experience with Christendom?
Ans: Pastor Tao preached the gospel with his guitar in ways that resonates as deeply as the most passionate sermons delivered from the pulpit. His melodies are divine symphonies, each note and chord reverberating with the harmony of a thousand angels. It’s no exaggeration to say that his  music is a bridge to celestial wonders, an offering of heavenly sounds.
Que:What inspired  his  mentorship in you?
Ans: I  am profoundly grateful for the role he played in my formative years. His influence spurred me to pursue excellence in every note I played and in every piece I composed. His  mentorship, though perhaps from afar, was a guiding light, leading me to where I am today— (Successful in USA, now based in Germany). A testament to his lasting impact on those fortunate enough to follow his path.
On this special birthday, I wish Pastor Tao all the joy his heart can hold. May his years ahead be filled with the strength of youthfulness  and his  visions manifest into reality. His life has touched not just a handful, but thousands of budding talents across Nigeria and beyond, nurturing a rich legacy of musical brilliance.
As he now embraced the fullness of pastoral work, I see that his  artistry remains as vibrant and meaningful as ever.
At 70, the resonance of his guitar and the prophetic power of his  voice continue to be a source of inspiration and comfort to all who hear them.
This year, we celebrate you, Pastor Paul Tao, for the incredible journey you’ve embarked upon and the many trails you’ve blazed. You are, without a doubt, a monumental figure in our musical landscape, and I am endlessly thankful for the light you’ve shone on our artistic endeavors.
Wishing you a joyous 70th birthday, filled with love, music, and the company of those who cherish you as deeply as I do.
Forever grateful and celebrating you.

Addressing the core issues related to the establishment of the Council, the leader of the group said in celebrating a spiritual event like Sallah, what normally happens are moments of joy and happiness that transcends our natural faultlines. In his words, “in times like this we normally set aside our differences to rejoice with each other, l therefore enjoin us to carry this spirit beyond the Sallah period. We should build a bond of unity that endures”

Manipulation: Ignorance Is a License to Bondage — Dr. Chris Okafor

Manipulation: Ignorance Is a License to Bondage — Dr. Chris Okafor

 

“Nothing honours until a spirit interferes.”

 

Manipulation, broadly defined, is the act of influencing or controlling a person or situation through subtle or overt tactics for personal advantage. In many cases, such influence is perfected through spiritual interference, because the spiritual realm ultimately governs the physical.

 

 

This profound subject formed the focus of the midweek non-denominational Prophetic Healing, Deliverance and Solutions (PHDS) Service ministered by the Generational Prophet of God and Senior Pastor of Grace Nation Worldwide, Dr. Chris Okafor, at the international headquarters of the ministry in Ojodu Berger, Lagos, Nigeria.

 

Manipulation: Ignorance Is a License to Bondage — Dr. Chris Okafor

 

Speaking on the topic “Manipulation”, with the subtitle “The Spiritual Aspect,” Dr. Okafor explained that manipulation exists in two dimensions: demonic manipulation and divine manipulation.

 

Demonic Manipulation

 

According to the Generational Prophet, demonic manipulation represents the negative expression of spiritual control, where individuals are influenced by the spirit of darkness to act contrary to their true intentions and divine purpose.

He noted that under demonic manipulation, people often say or do things their inner conscience did not authorize, acting solely under satanic influence. This, he explained, accounts for the increasing hostility, false accusations, and defamatory statements directed at genuine servants of God in contemporary times.

 

“Many people speak evil against true men of God, maligning those sent by God to help them. Often, it is not entirely their fault—it is the work of demonic manipulation,” he stated.

Dr. Okafor, however, offered reassurance, emphasizing that a prayerful life and proper spiritual alignment provide immunity against such attacks. He stressed that when a believer is connected to a spiritual father and guided correctly, no level of manipulation can stop destiny or destroy God-ordained blessings.

 

He warned that unchecked manipulation can damage destiny and limit access to divine blessings.

Divine Manipulation

The Prophet further taught that just as there is demonic manipulation aimed at destruction, there is also divine manipulation—the intervention of God to protect, guide, and align His people with His eternal purpose.

 

“If there is a demon manipulating destinies wrongly, there is also a God in heaven who divinely interferes to preserve glory,” he declared.

Dr. Okafor explained that believers who understand the principles of serving God in truth and in spirit operate under divine manipulation, where God orchestrates events in their favour. Under such covering, no demonic manipulation can prevail.

 

He added that consistent prayer, commitment to kingdom service, partnership with God’s work, and active soul-winning neutralize every form of demonic interference.

 

Solutions to Manipulation

 

According to Dr. Okafor, the ultimate safeguard against manipulation is a disciplined prayer life and total commitment to the things of God. Such spiritual alignment ensures that no demonic influence can infiltrate a believer’s path.

 

The PHDS midweek service witnessed a mighty move of the Holy Spirit, marked by deliverance, healings, miracles, restoration, and divine solutions to numerous cases presented before Elohim, the God of Grace Nation.
