God Can Use Anyone: My Journey of Faith  

God Can Use Anyone My Journey of Faith  

About 16 years ago, I visited my biological father, the late Nicholas Koku Nyakey, asking for more prayer to move forward in life. He warned me never to associate with anything demonic, reminding me that the devil takes more than people expect. He prayed for me.

He then took me to Rev. Fr. Agoha, a respected Catholic priest at St. Anthony’s Roman Catholic Church, Hedzranawo, serving in the Keta-Akatsi Diocese.

Rev. Fr. Agoha (may his soul rest in peace) was known for his pastoral dedication, charismatic renewal, and community impact. He prayed with me in tongues — words I couldn’t understand, though they sounded like my native Ewe. Afterwards, he told my father, “This young man is great in the making. The enemy has pursued him since infancy, but his faith is rooted in Christ. He needs more prayer.”

Though I grew up attending church, I wasn’t as ardent as my father, who only stopped going when he passed in November 2017. My mother, Margaret Nyakey, now 83, still attends faithfully.

More than two decades ago, I was a prayer leader at CASU (Catholic Students Union) during my days as a teacher trainee at Amedzope Teachers Training College.

From that encounter with Rev. Fr. Agoha, I developed a burning desire to draw closer to God. I tuned into radio sermons until one day I heard Prophet Israel Sosu. His message captivated me, and I joined his prophetic, healing, and deliverance ministry.

Later, a friend introduced me to Rev. Agosou, who guided me further.

In Durban, South Africa, I met Pastor Val Wolff of Christ Healing Centre, who trained me in her healing ministry school and treated me like family. Many of my former students benefited from her ministry.

I also encountered Prophet Dr. Vaughn Moyo Hutchinson of Joy Centre and Visitation Day International and Professor Daniel Lesego at Rabboni Centre Ministries, Pretoria, who trained me in kingdom matters.

My mathematics supervisor, Dr. Daniel Phillip Krupanandan, continues to mentor me, encouraging humility and love for God.

I also cherish the impact of the late Prophet T. B. Joshua, his disciples, and the Synagogue Church Of All Nations (SCOAN). His ministry taught me to love all people despite weaknesses, creed, tribe, race, or nationality and believe that with God, all things are possible. I often recommend Apostle Daniel Okafor of Jesus On The Throne International Ministry in Accra, one of his disciples.

Many servants of God have shaped my faith, too many to list, but I am grateful for each one.

Through journalism, teaching, and business development, I never stopped preaching Christ. I won souls, and even without calling myself a bond servant of Christ, people often asked, “Are you a pastor?” My students will remember my final words after mathematics lessons: “God bless you.”

Friends, if God has not asked you to leave your profession, continue working while preaching the good news. Ministry is not limited to pulpits.

The truth remains: God can use anyone.
- Moses: A stammering shepherd who became Israel’s leader.

- David: A young shepherd boy chosen as king.

- Mary: A humble village girl entrusted with the Saviour.

- Paul: A persecutor transformed into the greatest missionary.

God doesn’t choose based on status or perfection — He chooses those willing to be available.

I’m a work in progress. I’m nothing without Jesus Christ. I’m my earthly body, I’m still weak and imperfect, but Christ is my righteousness.

With a grateful heart, I mention these names because of their impact on my walk with God. Not all will be your favourite, but I cannot inherit your enemy. God bless you for reading. Share in the comments about God’s goodness in your life.

Colossians 1:27 - To them God has chosen to make known among the Gentiles the glorious riches of this mystery, which is Christ in you, the hope of glory.
