My name is Sampraiz.
Years ago at age 12, I had an encounter with the angel of God in a vision of the night. He gave me a guitar and said I should change my world with music and miracles. That night I woke up with a new song for the first time. That’s how I started receiving songs out of dreams, prayer and meditation times. Since then God kept showing me the nature of this assignment and it’s global dimension.
The Lord has given the command and great is the company that published it – Psalm 68:11.
In a second encounter I saw myself in All Nations For Christ Bible Institute Benin City. I was taken to a mountain by my Missions Dean and shown musicians from the street to the church all over the world. They were naked. Then I was asked to give them garments.
Isaiah 61:10
I will greatly rejoice in the LORD, my soul shall be joyful in my God; for he hath clothed me with the garments of salvation, he hath covered me with the robe of righteousness, as a bridegroom decketh himself with ornaments, and as a bride adorneth herself with her jewels.
The ‘garments’ in this scripture refers to salvation and righteousness. This is a major task! But with God and your company, it’s possible.
My Third Encounter was in my 200 level at the university. I saw a set of musicians performing on stage before an endless, well-seated but literally dead congregation. I tried to correct the musicians from a distant back knowing that, if they do well the dead crowd will rise. But they paid deaf ears to my corrections.
I took my guitar 🎸 to go do it by myself. Upon seeing me, they packed up their equipment and said “Let’s see how he’s going to be heard without an amplifier and speakers.” But when I got up there, a mic 🎤 was on a mic stand before me.
My first strumming without any sound system woke all the congregation back to life. My voice was so loud that I had to play and sing softly. It was an electrifying atmosphere.
My pastor told me, “Sam, this is your great commission; treat it as such.”
