Even Mike Kingsley's father who pastors a 10,000 people church misunderstood Mike for doing God's work when Mike was 17. After Mike got expelled by his school because he led a Spirit filled meeting at school, 400 other students who also were about to get expelled left with him to pray at his father's church. Mike's father didn't accept it and rebuked Mike for doing that; can you imagine that? Even the Father of Revival (Mike's father) in Uganda would reject a revival in a campus because he didn't want to cause the parents any trouble?!
Mike stood firm with boldness in front of his father and the principle of school; he didn't know where that boldness came from, he only knew that he can not compromise of what God had done among the young people. His father didn't speak with him for weeks and he also got kicked out of school for few weeks; because of his boldness without compromise, God intervened.
During a major conference where the churches leaders (Including Mike's father) in Uganda invited an European Evangelist/Prophet to preach, that time Mike was desperately needing a confirmation from God. In the middle of sermon, this preacher asks if someone here named Mike Kingsley; without knowing who Mike is, the preacher asks again for the second time in front of ten and thousands of people. The third time, Mike stood up and walked towards the preacher from the very back of the crowd. The preacher then prophesied over Mike and promoted him in front of Mike's father and people of their city; he then asked Mike to sit at his chair on the stage, which was right next to Mike's father. After that, Mike's father realized that God is with his son; their relationship was restored, and Mike was then welcome back to school.
Some of those 400 students became evangelists and pastors in different nations; because of persecution of fire, God can shape these students and test each one of them. What about you?
God honors us when we obey Him!
