How I Proposed To My Wife, By Dr DK Olukoya

The general overseer of Mountain Of Fire and Miracle Ministry, Dr Daniel Kolawole Olukoya, has narrated what transpired during their marriage proposal and acceptance, with a throw back picture in 1986.

Dr Olukoya and his wife, Pastor (Mrs) Sade Olukoya spoke at the singles and married series tagged Gen 218

General Overseer Dr Olukoya Speaks: I asked God for a woman who would want to work and fit into what God wanted me to do and the Lord brought her image.

I wasn’t sleeping o. It wasn’t a dream, and God said “this is the woman”. Again, I prayed three times and got the same answer “ this is the woman”. That was my first testimony.

My father, who was a pastor also prayed. He had never seen her, but when he visited Lagos and saw her for the first time, he said “… this is the woman I saw too”.

It’s not a question of I feel led, or I think so, I heard and I saw before I took a step.

Pastor Mrs Sade Olukoya’s Speaks: When I first met my husband, I was a chorister. I was very inexperienced and all I knew was to serve my God.I was brought up that way.

He was then a music director who came to our church to improve the performance of the choir.

We used to call him brother Daniel. There was really nothing on my mind than we had a nice brother who was coming to teach us in the choir.

He was down to earth and straightforward.

Anytime he came we enjoyed his teaching. We always wanted him around because we learned a lot from him; more than the songs he taught us.

That day, he called me and we were in a small room where we normally had our fellowship. He used to do his counseling there too.

I was thinking within me when I heard he wanted to see me. And I wondered oh! my God, have I done anything wrong. What has the man of God got to say to me today?

I was on dry fasting as well trying to see a man of God. In preparation for that visit, I was praying and wondered oh God, what is this meeting all about?

Just as he writes his books, he’s a man of few words. The rest is what you’re seeing today.
