Baba Gbile Akanni was invited to a meeting in a part of Nigeria some years back and another famous Nigerian pastor was also invited. The organizers initially scheduled the other minister to speak first and baba Gbile to take the second and final session. Then one of the overzealous organizers switched the schedule and asked the other speaker who's quite very famous in Nigeria to close the meeting. But someone in the planning committee warned them that they should not let baba Gbile speak before that minister, but they refused. Anyway, Baba Gbile spoke first. As he was rounding up, the famous man of God walked in and found everyone on their knees crying. What did this man say to the whole congregation that is making them to cry, he asked? He was puzzled.
They could not take the second session again. Everybody was on their face with noise and screams of cries coming from different parts of the auditorium. Then the man who warned that they should not put that man of God after baba Gbile said, "but I told you". The famous man of God who only met a few minutes of Baba Gbile's session said, "he almost made me to doubt my calling". This is what is called fire. When you carry God's fire, title becomes irrelevant. You don't even have to be a pastor. Its all about the price you are willing to pay to obey God and to seek God in prayers and in His word. Your words will carry so much power that men will be so influenced to repent of their sins and turn to God.
