The Anointing and Power of God?
Prophet Dr. Samuel Odushina Oluwadamilare: I thank God for the anointing and power that has been evident in my life and ministry. Through the Holy Spirit, we have experienced remarkable breakthroughs, and I am humbled to be a vessel for God’s work.

Prophet, you have been in the ministry for over 25 years. What has been your most significant challenge, and how did you overcome it?
Prophet Dr. Samuel Odushina Oluwadamilare: Ah, yes! One of the most significant challenges I faced was when I first started my ministry. Many people doubted my calling and ability to lead, because I was full doing printing work and making money, given my youthful age at the time. However, I overcame this by focusing on my relationship with God, seeking guidance from mentors, and persevering in prayer and faith. God has since vindicated my calling, and the ministry has flourished.
That’s truly inspiring, Prophet. What advice would you give to upcoming ministers and those facing similar challenges?
Prophet Dr. Samuel Odushina Oluwadamilare: My advice would be to remain steadfast in their faith, focus on building a strong relationship with God, and seek guidance from experienced mentors. They should also persevere in prayer and not be deterred by obstacles or criticisms. With faith and determination, they will overcome and fulfill their divine purpose.
Do you believe in visiting mountains to pray, especially by pastors?
Prophet Dr. Samuel Odushina Oluwadamilare: I do visit mountains to pray for people. Jesus Christ himself engaged in prayers both on the mountain and in the wilderness.
Why do you think some prayers are not answered?
Prophet Dr. Samuel Odushina Oluwadamilare: I believe some prayers are not answered because we don’t have faith in God’s ability to answer them. Sometimes, we pray with doubt or unbelief, and that hinders God from answering our prayers. Additionally, if our prayers are not in line with God’s will or if we have sin in our lives, God may not answer our prayers.
Do you believe in the importance of tithing, and how do you respond to critics who argue against it?
Prophet Dr. Samuel Odushina Oluwadamilare: I believe tithing is a biblical principle that shows our obedience and gratitude to God. Giving 10% of our income to God’s work is a way to honor Him and recognize His provision in our lives. To critics, I would say that tithing is not just about money; it’s about trusting God with our resources and living a life of generosity.
What are your thoughts on dressing modestly in churches, especially among women?
Prophet Dr. Samuel Odushina Oluwadamilare: I believe dressing modestly in church is important for both men and women. Our dressing should reflect our reverence for God and our respect for the place of worship. For women, I encourage them to dress in a way that doesn’t draw attention to themselves but rather to God. Avoid revealing or provocative clothing, and opt for modest and decent attire.
What message of hope and encouragement would you offer to Nigerians during these trying times?
Prophet Dr. Samuel Odushina Oluwadamilare : My advice to Nigerians is to wait unto the Lord, that everything will become normal. We should pray for our leaders and the country, and trust God for a better tomorrow.
How do you view the numerous awards you’ve received, and what do you attribute them to?
