Word Alive: GET AWAY WITH ME RETREAT: THE REVIVAL BEGINS

GET AWAY WITH ME; REVIVAL BEGINS

Sept 2020, God told us to find time to get away with Him. He gave us a date (Oct 29th to November 1st 2020). The instruction was specific, He asked us to go to a mountain. I have never been to one so we immediately started looking out and praying.

Here's all we heard God say concerning the retreat:

He said to us :

"GET AWAY WITH ME!

I want to show you some things, things you'd never hear with all the noise around you. I am giving to you templates that last decades and useful for generations. I will go over it with you, line by line. I am putting up a live show. Generals are spotted amongst you and they arise. Ministries are born. I prepare you for the operation that begins in 2021. I equip you for it. Mouths open. You who think you understand your sound or know it not, you are given a new voice."

" Healing abounds, for you and in you for men!"

" GET AWAY WITH ME

All things are ready, Come!

I am your host. I have provided everything"

He is showing a physical representation of what He is doing in our hearts. Restoring our heart posture of being with Him always

prayer stops being a chore. Something changes in our prayer lives as a result of this and it is huge.

You will want to shut your mouth but it won't close. A new voice is given and it doesn't get tired/weary.

"Restoration, I bring people back on track, into alignment."

The Lord says He's washing off all impurities. He's making us squeaky clean at the retreat. There is perfection.

The birth pangs begin.

You will be midwives to each other, each helping the other to bring to life."

Planning the Retreat

In October, a couple of us were in Ibadan to make enquiries about the mountain/retreat ground.

We made a prayer before leaving the house (Ayodele was our host btw) that God directs us to someone and gives those of us going to see a taste of what He is about to do as report for those we left at home.

First mountain we went to, we were sent away cos we were putting on trousers and didn't cover our heads.

We prayed and left for another town in Osun state, just me and Ayodele this time (cos the place is far and transportation). The rest waited at Ikire bus stop.

We walked into the Ikoyi mountain community and just around the mountain tip, we met a man talking to a lady. We greeted them and the man made a statement in Yoruba "that which you find, you will meet". I immediately remembered the prayer we made before leaving the house and turned back to speak with the man. Turned out He is the prophet in charge of the mountain (Prophet Odewole, baba ori oke). He helped us with all the information needed for the retreat and granted permission immediately 😁.

This was a prayer answered.

Steps to the mountaintop

On our way back to the rest guys at Ikire bus stop, Ayodele received a call that he had gotten a job. (Ayo had been without a job since early 2020).

This was our taste of the mountain, we had testimonies as part of the report, just as we prayed.

We all moved back to various locations and began preparations for the retreat.

As at Friday Oct 23rd, (6 days before the retreat), we had a budget of #400,000 and God had asked us not to collect a dime from everyone coming for transportation, feeding or accommodation. He was going to raise the money and sort all.

I was scared. Zero balance less than a week before? But I also trusted God and waited to see how He will do it.

9 days before the retreat, the Lekki Massacre happened then the lootings and curfew.

The week of the retreat came and the curfew had not been lifted. In fact, Osun had a complete lockdown situation, no movement.

I started asking God for direction but He insisted the Retreat was holding. The words were clear: I am waiting already, Come

As at Wednesday night, we had prayers and everyone coming the next day kept asking how we'd have the retreat since there was no movement.

God kept saying "There is no curfew, can't you see?. Come, I wait for you"

We finished prayers that night only to hear that the curfew had been lifted just as we were praying.

Thursday 29th of October, 2020

As we prayed and made preparations to leave the house, I saw an angelic procession. Men clad in white. They all walked up the stairs of the mountain. As they got to the mountain top, they kept walking round and gifts were laid all around the path they walked.

We heard God say Come! It is time, I wait!

The Retreat Begins

Everyone arrived at the retreat towards evening.

As I looked around and welcomed them all, I wondered what their expectations were and what Abba had in stock. He had said come and here we were.

We shared the word and prayed that night.

Baba Ori Oke (Prophet Odewole) later came to the resort/hostel to invite myself and a few others to the mountain overnight program.

First, he took myself and Ayodele into the the Mercy Land on the mountain and prayed with us.

The Mercy land is a place no one is allowed to enter except the head pastors and prophets of the mountain. People could only move around it praying. I heard the word Access.

Baba had seen it in the spirit, God had given us access and he was only showing a physical representation.

Baba took us into the church and while I was scanning where to sit at the back, baba invited myself and Ayodele into the altar to sit with the head pastors and prophets. I kept asking God in my mind "Why this? What's happening?"

After the program, baba called us and kept repeating what he had been saying since the first time we came

"You don't know what God is about to do with you. You think this is a small ministry, you are taking it lightly. You don't know who you are. God is about to do something huge through this ministry (Word Alive). Something that extends to the nations of the world. Stop looking at it from a small angle"

I kept all of these words and pondered on them as we went back home.

God told me: "What I'm about to do is bigger than you and everything you've imagined. It is bigger than what I've shown you that I will do. It will amaze you"

I went back home thinking on the promises concerning the retreat and the word I had just gotten

Friday 30th October

We had our first session on the mountain. As we got there, the instruction was drop the requests and just worship. Worship, that's all I'm asking of you.

As we began to worship, we experienced an atmosphere shift. The spirit began to move.

All of a sudden, I saw the Angelic procession we had seen the day before again. This time, they stood round all of us in a circle and as I looked up I saw God's face round that circle looking upon us. I screamed and fell in worship. I heard a couple of people shout out in the spirit at the same time but do not know what they saw or experienced.

As we continued to worship, God led us to pray for Bola and her husband, Mr Segun. He revealed they had been called into ministry and some other things going on in their lives which they also confirmed.

Abba answered all the questions on their heart that they had come with.

The Holy spirit also established a link in ministry between Mr Segun and one of our members on Word Alive (Wale Ajayi). We prayed for them both and shared the instructions God gave.

Provision....

After the prayers that morning, everyone went back to the hostel but some of us had to stay behind to work. I was particularly worried about funds.

We got #272,000 out of the #400,000 budget and it had been exhausted.

The lady that was meant to cook for us charged us over 100% of the original budget. This meant we had to cook ourselves and we had exhausted all the money we got.

There was no food for that night.

I kept thinking on God's promise that we should just come.

As I sat, I received an alert from an unknown person. The person sent the exact amount the day before at night (which we were still asking who sent it).

Abba assured the provision was from Him.

Before I stepped down from the mountain, we got provision enough for our feeding till we leave the mountain.

Because of change of plans in cooking arrangements, our evening session was affected. We had to start late.

The campers were playing games and gisting when we got back, unaware of all that had been going on regarding food, cooking and money.

Campers playing and having fun

We eventually made arrangements with the provided money and brought in cooking supplies from Ibadan for the remaining days.

We ate after bible study and picked a time to gather for prayers.

At this point, I kept hearing "I am up to something, you won't be in charge". I didn't understand fully so I changed the program for that night, removed my name and fixed others to lead. Little did I know.

Members on the other hand were tired and wanted us to push till the next day since it was very late + it had started raining. But I knew what I had heard, God was about to do something.

I insisted everyone gather in the room since we couldn't climb the mountain because of rain.

Not long after Wale began leading us in worship, Baba orioke called for me. The neighbors had complained we were disturbing so we had to stop the prayers and move to the mountain.

As baba left, the Holy spirit reminded me that baba had taken me to a church building the first time we came and had given access to it. So I asked everyone to come with me to the church. I didn't know if it was opened but I asked them to follow with plans to send Ayodele to baba to get the keys to the church.

As we passed the mountain towards the church, I felt a stirring. I knew we couldn't escape what Abba had planned. I immediately started praying with the people walking with me till we got in.

The church was in total darkness when we got there. All we had was a few torchlights to light the place.

Immediately we entered, God asked that everyone stay on one side of the building, a table placed at the front and all chairs moved away.

As we began to worship, something began. I saw a heavy presence on Toyosi and Joy.

........

Back story

(Toyosi and Joy are non Word Alive members. Joy had seen the flyer on Precious' status and invited her friend Toyosi)

Before the prayers that evening, I had moved round to check on everyone. NK called me and said "Mama, Joy says she wants to fall under the anointing today". I laughed and didn't say anything. The Holy Spirit told me to watch what will happen with her. It will be more than a physical fall, more than she bargained/ask for)

.......

I moved to pray with Toyosi first and saw huge gifts surrounding her. She mentioned she couldn't speak in tongues so I called Omotola Atitebi to join me as we laid hands on her.

She ended up not just speaking in tongues, but prophesying and interpreting the tongues of others.

As we prayed for Toyosi, God asked me to lay hands on Joy and have her brought forward and join her hands with Toyosi's and mine.

Not up to 5 mins later, something erupted within her. I have never seen this kind of outburst. Joy so shy and quiet, now so drunk in the spirit. I have seen spiritual drunkenness a lot, it was a norm for us in fellowship in Macedonia but this thing I saw, I almost called it "spiritual madness".

I knew God had taken over her body and He was the working now.

Both of them began to interpret each other's tongues and give messages.

At this time, the whole room was all up in spiritual flames.

Something was happening everywhere I turned.

Everybody was attending to another.

God spoke through everyone.

We received miracles... Healing, new tongues, new gifts, opened eyes and ears.

As we prayed, the procession of angels we had seen on the mountain came to join us in the church and formed the same circle round us.

This time, I quickly looked up with hopes to see God's face again but what I saw was a very large gold basin that did not have an end. It was filled with oil and turned completely on us all.

The oil was pouring out upon us and it did not finish. It wasn't a drip, it was a large pour and everyone was faced up with mouths opened.

I looked to the door and saw a lamb and lion.

Then horses suspended in the air as though about to take off with heavenly beings mounted on them

We were here in this state for up to 5 hours

I wish I had enough words in my vocabulary for Friday night but I don't.

Sadly, we also did not record this in pictures or videos. We didn't see it coming + it was late and everyone was far too gone in the spirit.

But God so good, we have a few audio clips from Friday night. We took those to save the messages God has for us so we don't forget.

They are attached to this report. As you listen, I am certain something will be stirred in you and you have your own experience of what the Lord began with us at Ikoyi.

Before we left the church, God told us there was a reason it had to be in that auditorium. "You are not stifled, I brought you here to express freely"

The Lord also said to me that there is a coronation happening with everyone. I saw a staff handed to me, white, beautiful and long with gold designs on the top. The top has the shape of a crown.

As I shared this message, Ebuka immediately confirmed he had seen the same thing.

The three eyed raven

As we slept that night, I had a vision.

In the vision, I saw myself in a wide field with a tree in the middle.

The tree was very magnificent and beautiful and I stood before it, my eyes wide open.

And immediately, they shut like they were in a trance.

I saw everyone appear around me immediately in a triangular procession, their eyes shut also.

My eyes opened back but just the white part and everyone's eyes opened same time and in the same manner.

Then I heard God say He was giving access to the past, the present and future. We were not just seeing what will happen in future, we could go back in and change things from the past. After a while, my eyes opened normally and I saw myself trying to leave from the past into the future because I was done changing the past. I heard a voice saying to hold the door for the rest, I couldn't leave because they were not done.

I was jotting down inside of the revelations and trying to make sense of all I was seeing. Then I heard the voice say, I have made you three eyed ravens forever

Your eyes do not just live the present, they see the future and also have access to the past, forever!

I woke up and the first thing I saw by the side of the bed was my staff. I was seeing it physically now.

Morning came and Cynthia Osifeso visited. The Holy spirit said to ask her to share with me (I didn't know what) but she told me she had a dream over the night.

In the dream, she had access to retrieve a gift box that had been taken from her before then.

Immediately, I knew it was a confirmation to my own vision.

It had begun!

Saturday, 31st of October

At the church on Friday night, Cynthia had gotten an instruction from God.

We were to meet a man they had met with on the mountain earlier (I didn't notice the man as I was occupied with other things) and give him a seed.

We were to go to his house early the next morning fasting and without brushing.

Before we left the house, we prayed and the spirit told me Baba had entered a covenant with God some years before. To ask him and the spirit will lead from there

Baba, Joshua, Femi and Mr Tunmise

We got there and a few people entered with me while everyone waited outside praying in the spirit.

Baba confirmed the message the spirit gave.

He had been living in Apomu before but was asked to come to the mountain to pray.

On getting to the mountain, he received an instruction to stay back.

Baba had been living at Ori Oke Ikoyi for 21 years

Immediately, we entered his place, we saw dirt piled up everywhere. There was no space at all.

Inside Baba's house

The spirit of God said to look around, that can't we see. It wasn't dirt but rather beautiful ashes. Baba was the man at the beautiful gate.

His house was exactly at the tip of the mountain and he'd greet everyone that passed by saying "Adura yin a gba"

God told us baba Mopeade was a dispatcher of blessings and many had missed out cos all they saw was dirt.

The spirit told me to get 7 brooms and assign to certain people to sweep and clean up baba's place. Cynthia also got a message that some of us wash baba's caps/clothes.

We took time to clean Baba's house

Immediately we told baba, he knelt down. Baba used to be a school janitor decades before, this what exactly what he was doing for the students.

Though he didn't understand English, he loved them and would sweep their rooms and wash their clothes for them (which was not his duty). God said to tell baba He doesn't forget covenants. He had come to take care of baba as he took care of His own.

We continued to pray with baba while others prayed outside and cleaned up.

Because baba doesn't understand English, someone had to be interpreting the message in Yoruba.

All of a sudden, baba called me and told me to pray for him. He wanted to hear what we were saying without an interpreter.

At this point, I really wanted to just jump up and start screaming. Where did this man get that kind of faith from?

I prayed for him and everyone inside with me continued with the messages but without interpreters

Baba could now hear.

While all this was going on, the whole community had begun to gather around. A woman called me and told me she saw that God was doing something here and she had to quickly come.

A lot of people were gathered at every corner of baba's house, so we had to start praying for them.

People accepted Christ, healing flowed

The woman that approached me came with other women in the community and their children.

She was holding a boy and the Lord said this one was the rock, For his generation he will be instrumental to the growth of the church and spread of the gospel.

Mama later mentioned his name is Peter.

Another woman stood beside mama with a baby.

Ministering to the community

Immediately, I heard in Yoruba "Ayomikun". God said His joy fills them and their joy is always full and the baby is their joy in fullness. They might not know it and physical reality might negate it but she was their joy in fullness.

I immediately kept repeating Ayomikun and what I heard, the woman told me the daughter's name was indeed Ayomikun and the spirit had revealed correctly.

The baby had always been sick since birth and lived a life negating the prophecies they had received. They didn't know what to believe again

Prayed for them and everyone in the community that came around. And we shared all Abba told us with them.

God had asked us to take a box of noodles with us for baba, calling it "Ounje Omo".

As the children gathered, God told us the noodles was for them and baba should say a prayer as he shared to them, which he did.

Baba went back inside while those of us at the back continued sharing the Gospel with the community and what God was about to do in Ori Oke Ikoyi.

I went back inside after a while only to hear noise from the front of baba's house.

Moved to see what was going on and it was so glorious to behold.

Baba didn't just hear our prayers in English as we prayed for him, he was speaking in English and he wrote A to Z on the wall (without mistake).

Baba Mopeade wrote letters A - Z legibly

Baba Mopeade couldn't read or write before that day.

Joined the guys outside as they prayed and spoke with one of the new converts from that day.

Immediately, God told me the man had a new name: Oluwatunmise.

Mr Tunmise

Mr Tunmise being prayed for

He had received a new life. the new name; a testament to the life he had just received.

People kept coming around to be blessed, prayed for.

One of the women that came around said they had been waiting for this revival for a long time. She had seen it before and was grateful to God that it had begun.

We saw a fire spread around Ikoyi mountain and God reminded that what He is about to do will reach everywhere.

A revival outbreak is here, all over the nations of the earth. Not restricted to the learned. Everyone will partake. The fire will catch, men will be flammable!

Saturday Evening

Healing, Communion and Prophetic Session...

After Friday night happened, I felt full. I wasn't sure small me could take any more. That was such a strong move and experience. How do we take more in?

But God kept saying we had not seen anything.

Before we left the house for the evening session, I got a message.

God said power is here.

We are about to start walking in power in a new way. We speak and it happens immediately.

We live the fullness of the power in Christ Jesus

Baba orioke, Prophet Odewole, joined us and followed us to the mountain for the evening session.

Baba Orioke, Prophet Oduwole at Mercyland

At the tip of the mountain, I saw a huge sun and it began to split into tiny suns, all of them shining bright and standing. And they all got their light from the big sun.

As everyone arrived the tip, the Lord said to lead everyone in a procession up the mountain, as we chanted: Elohim, Adonai!

At the mountain, baba prayed with us first and asked that I enter the mercy land with him.

After baba's prayers, we began worshipping in the spirit (led by Wale and Omolola)

The spirit began to move and baba asked that everyone come into the mercyland.

Mercyland

Prayers at Mercyland

As we prayed, it felt like someone was slaying everyone. And I heard a word I got on Friday night again: Slain men

The atmosphere changed immediately. Those around the mountain that came to pray on their own caught it also.

Some of them moved closer to us. As we prayed, the Lord gave me this message

Message from the camp retreat.

Holy, Holy is the lord God Almighty.

I have founded you upon my righteousness.

I have done a new thing, Can you not see it?

It Springs forth

Ina jo ( fire burns)

Ina Dun mowa ( We enjoy fire)

Don’t you enjoy it?

The fire used in starting this mountain is here.

The revival is here

Healing Abounds!!! Inside of you, and in you for men!!!

Healing abounds!!! Inside of you for you and in you for men!

Choose to see me at the center of everything.

There is a prophetic call, receive.

I have come as a commander of the army of the lord.

I have come to tell you what to do, how to do and when to do it.

Listen!!!

I will tell you what to do, how to do and when to do.

Do not run ahead of the template.

Don't be in a hurry to go off.

Wait!!!

Be men who wait!

As I shared this message, the Holy spirit asked that I lay hands on Ebuka.

As I did, I felt him tremble then he began to speak:

I am the instructor, I give the instructions, I choose to come out when I want to, Wait, Get an instruction and Move.

We continued to pray in the spirit, each person getting slain and receiving healing.

As we shared communion, we heard this:

The bread of life, Eat.

Healing Abounds inside of you for men.

Healers!

I have raised healers amongst you

Ounje orun a fi bo yin ti ti lai lai (the bread of heaven, it is food for you forever)

Healing is bread to the children. You eat daily of it.

You eat in your sleeps, not bread healing!

God told us that we leave the mountain with a new radiance. Men see it immediately they come across us.

We experienced God's move heavily during this session.

After the session, we left the mountain in a procession, in the same manner as the heavenly procession we had seen (as instructed).

As we walked down the mountain, 3 men were climbing up.

One of them kept looking at me.

As we crossed paths, he moved to the side but kept staring and refused to go up with his friends.

At this point i greeted him "good evening" which he responded to.

Took 3 steps downwards and felt his eyes on me so I turned back and found him still staring.

I said a prayer for him loudly: "Oluwa a gbo adura yin o" (May God answer your prayer) which he replied Amen to.

I turned and continued my walk, only to find the man running to me.

He fell on the floor. I was so scared and asked what he wanted.

He asked me to pray for him which I did and I shared what the Holy Spirit told me. He looked so fulfilled and happy

Mr Segun

How do I forget Mr Segun?

Hahaha. 😁

Myself and Precious left Lagos for Ibadan on Wednesday 28th of October. Omolola was meant to meet us at the bus stop (Iwo road).

As we dropped from the cab, we were so hungry so we approached the woman beside us selling boli. She was busy doing something so a young man approached us, helping her sell the roasted plantain. He also helped me sit and place my load which I thanked him for.

Omolola called just as we sat down describing where she was waiting.

I'm not familiar with Ibadan so I asked her for directions. Immediately, the man that had helped with our bags and the boli asked that I followed him. He knew where she was. He helped us track Omolola and Ayodele then brought us back to Iwo road.

We later told him we were looking for a cab to the house.

He told us he is a cab driver. I thought he was joking cos he had been full of jokes but he wasn't.

He took us home and we kept gisting with him on our way home.

As we made to step down, the holy spirit said to have a conversation with him but I was too tired so I asked that Ayodele collect his number.

The man's name is Mr Segun.

As at the time he was helping and driving us round town, his wife was in the hospital, bleeding.

(I have never seen that kind of attitude in the face of tribulation)

God told us he orchestrated that meeting. We prayed for Mr Segun' s wife who received healing. The blood had stopped flowing by the next morning.

Mr Segun was a blessing to us. He became our personal driver. Followed us to the mountain, took care of us, helped us bring in supplies and dropped us back home after the retreat.

We almost didn't want to part ways with him.

Beyond healing for his wife, God started something new with Mr Segun; a ministerial seed was sown in his life with that meeting.

Sunday 1st of November

The retreat ends but something new and powerful had begun.

As we prayed before leaving, God told us Thank you for coming. I'm happy you came

I just wanted to cry at this point. I could see the heavens smiling over us.

God told us to document everything that had happened at the retreat.

He said: Write everything down! What you experienced is not for you alone. Those that couldn't attend, tell them provision has been made for them. They enter into this experience also

As many read this experience, they have an encounter also.

As you read this experience from the retreat, I pray that God's word comes to pass concerning you. You get your own encounter.

Something has begun and it spreads!.

You will try to shut your mouth but it won't

Your prayer life changes from now

Fire burns and you enjoy it!

Answers come, clarity!

You receive templates that span decades

The Lord tells you what to do, when to do and how to do.

We couldn't record all of our experience at the retreat as words can't express properly what we saw. But we've shared here all we can believing that you will be blessed through it also.

We say Thank you to Abba, our father, for the amazing time we had with Him.

For all He did, the fire that won't stop spreading and increasing, for that which our generation is about to experience.
