BY KENNETH EMMANUEL/RELIGION REPORTER, TEXAS

WOLE Adeyi is a quiet, easy-going and unassuming Christian leader, a holder of double Masters’ Degree, so passionate in soul wining for God and very engrossed in Christian drama, with the ‘behind-the-stage’ production of famous Christian movies which has become familiar films being watched in most homes of Africans, mostly Nigerians and Black Americans in United States, Canada and Nigeria. He was led through the power of the Holy Ghost to have established ‘The Flaming Sword Ministries International’, with the pay off line: ‘We Act in Faith.’

Ever after, he has not looked back, since the journey has become a successful one daily as being led by God Almighty. In America and Canada, he’s widely described as ‘Unseen hand behind Flaming Sword Ministries International (FSM).’ His Christian drama, very inspiring has blessed homes, lives and turn destinies around; showcasing the efficacy of prayers and miracles only God can perform.

Drama Ministries founded on God’s Call

Naija Standard gathered that FSM is a Christian Drama Ministry that was founded out of a call to bring the Word of God to people using Christian drama in form of a visual medium. In an electronic mail to our American EDITORS, Adeyi stated that “In today’s world, more and more people are leaning towards the comfort of visuals (TV, DVDs, VIDEO and INTERNENT STREAMING) to fulfill their need for entertainment and information.

“Our focus is to equip, uplift, remind, and rekindle the zeal of the churches and ministries and to show the way to eternal life to the unsaved. The use of Christian Drama is a very effective medium to help people understand the message of the Gospel and respond to it. It is no gainsaying to declare that drama ministry has become an effective instrument of liberating people from bondages and oppression of the kingdom in this end time. It is not lagging behind in caring out the great commission of our Lord Jesus to every believer (Matt. 28:19-20, Mark 16:15). The present wave of spiritual revolution wherein people are becoming interested is not only the word but also through the action make drama indisputably a formidable soul-winning weapon.

“FSM was borne out of burden and vision in the hearts of Wole Adeyi and Margaret Anenih to evangelize the world through the medium of drama and film productions. Later, people with the same visions and calling began to join the ministry. The Lord is increasing the work and the ministry has expanded into many evangelistic arms: Drama Outreaches, Film Production, Drama Institute, Marketing Outfit, T.V. Production Outreach and Publications.

THE DEPARTMENTS OF FLAMING SWORD MINISTRIES INTERNATIONAL
At Flaming Sword Ministries International, the following departments are in existence to fuel an effective ministerial working environment:
• The Flaming Sword Drama Outreach
• The Flaming Sword (Academy) Institute of Christian Drama
• The Flaming Sword Audio/Visual Department
• The Flaming Sword Marketing Department
• The Flaming Sword Film Outreach and Film Productions
• The Flaming Sword Publications

The Flaming Sword Drama Outreaches
Investigation by Naija Standard showed that the Flaming Sword Drama Outreaches is as old as the FSM. In the words of Adeyi, “When the Ministry started in January 11, 2009; doors began to open for drama outreaches in Churches. The Lord proved His faithfulness by confirming His words to us, with reports and testimonies of salvation of souls and revival of the children of God from our audiences. Apart from churches, the Flaming Sword Drama Outreaches arm of the Flaming Sword Ministries International has also honored invitations to present drama skits in special programs on Zonal, State and National levels. The Lord has also extended the ministerial border of the Ministry beyond the shores of the state of Texas. The Lord is gracing our efforts with signs and wonders, and showing forth His greatness in the drama outreaches. He is also graciously helping the ministry infiltrate mainstream society, to reach the hungry souls who rely greatly on getting their information and entertainment through visual means, such as watching movies. As a result, the ministry is now getting busier on film productions, even more than stage drama ministrations.

The Flaming Sword (Academy) Institute of Christian Drama
“And the things that thou hast heard of me among many witnesses, the same commit thou to faithful men, who shall be able to teach others also”(II Timothy 2:2)
This Scripture is the base or foundation of the vision given by the Lord to the Flaming Sword Ministries International (FSM) in establishing the Flaming Sword Institute (FSI) of Christian Drama. FSI is the academic arm of FSM. It is established for the training of those who have visions for Christian drama and film production ministries. FSI was founded in August, 2009.
Students of this course are taught methods of using drama evangelism to support the church pastor and be a blessing to the congregation and the Church; Fellowship or Ministries.

The Flaming Sword Audio/Visual/Media (T.V/Radio) Production
One of the visions of the Flaming Sword Ministries is the transmission of the FSM on mainstream Television and Radio Stations so that the message can reach as many people as possible all over the world.

The Flaming Sword Marketing Department
This is one of the arms of the FSM through which the message of life which the Lord gives to Adeyi and his team are being disseminated.

The Flaming Sword Film Outreach and Film Productions
This image maker of FSM said “Like the Drama Outreach, this arm of the Ministry is also as old as the parent ministry in terms of the time of its taking off. The Lord has helped the ministry to produce numerous films in Digital Versatile Drive (DVD) format. Amongst the releases are: “The Wind behind the Storm; A Crack in the Wall (Parts1&2); Hedge of Glory; Waiting for the Prince; Strange Fire; Dangerous Influence; Smokescreen; Deadly Ambition; Lost in Sodom; Not an Excuse, and many more.

The Flaming Sword Publications
The publishing arm of the Ministry took off shortly after the inception of the ministry with the publication of the ‘Making of our maiden movie’ titled ‘The Wind behind the Storm’. Adeyi reminisced that “This became our first copyrighted publication in the ministry. Thereafter, this arm of the ministry produces two publications “THE FLAME” and “THE SWORD”. These are Bi-Annual bulletins that bring drama messages to your door step.

Mission & Objectives

“The Flaming Sword Ministries involves in these following objectives and purposes:
• To reconcile godless men (Sinners) back unto God (2 Cor. 5:18-20).
• To revive the lukewarm Christian and rekindle their Godly zeal (Eph. 5:15-16).
• It is a rescue mission, rescuing men from the captivity of the Devil. It is therefore a spiritual battle that requires spiritual armor. (2 Cor. 10:4).
• Preaching Jesus to the lost souls for spiritual regeneration (Luke 4:18; John 3:16).
• Presenting spiritual revival to the compromising and carnal Christians.
• Preaching spiritual awakening to the “sleeping” and “slumbering” church of God (Romans 12: 1-2; Eph. 4: 22-24).
• Preaching spiritual preparation to the body of Christ by which we make them conscious of the imminence of Christ’s coming (Matt. 16:27; Matt. 25:31-41).
• Preaching spiritual revelations and enlightenment (Psalm 119:130; Psalm 119:105).

“Finally, by dramatizing the gospel of Jesus, The Flaming Sword Ministries aims at the spiritual fruits. These includes the believers being revived; sinners being saved, ministers being challenged, and the spiritual fruits of the ministrations becomes clear (John 15:8, 16).

ABOUT WOLE ADEYI BIOGRAPHY
WOLE ADEYI was born to a devout Baptist family in Nigeria. His father was a Baptist Church leader, a disciplinarian, who understood the value of education and he encouraged all his children to go to school. Wole loved school and he excelled in it, especially, in the field of Health. Thus, began the foundation for many years of formal education, which served him well in his later years.
In 1995, he graduated from Obafemi Awolowo University, Ile-Ife, Nigeria, where he obtained his Bachelor Degree in Physical Therapy. He also got his first Masters Degree in Medical Pharmacology. He relocated to United States in 2001 and went on to obtain his Second Masters Degree in Public Health (MPH) from the Walden University. He also attended Bible College at the Redeemed Christian Bible Institute. The favour of God is upon him.
Wole is one of the two Founders and Directors of the FLAMING SWORD MINISTRIES, a drama ministry founded in 2009, based in Dallas, Texas. Leading this group was a great learning experience, with of course, many challenges. Through it all he developed great leadership skills and matured in his Christian walk. He continually drew inspiration from many of his spiritual leaders during these formative years and trusted God for everything. Till date he sacrifices his time by holding leadership and training sessions, trying to ensure that the vision of Drama as the end-time tool is carried along throughout North America.
Wole is a bold, disciplined, and Holy Ghost revived Church Worker. Well travelled with leadership experience and has been involved in raising dynamic Church Workers. His dramatic demonstrative style and down-to-earth practical messages have endeared him to thousands of people who have found inspiration, encouragement, and zeal in his services.

Books Written by Adeyi
Wole Adeyi has gone literally in writing several inspirational and expository books and articles. His heart’s desire is also to train church workers and leaders who desire not just to be called but to be chosen to fulfilment in the Father’s business.
Luke2: 49 -And He said unto them, “How is it that ye sought me? Jesus did not come for His personal business but for His Father’s Business. Wole Adeyi has written books that are instructive and cardinal to our service in the house of God. He believes that as workers and Volunteers we are not in the “Pastor’s Business” not even the “General Overseer’s Business” and certainly not our Personal Business but in “The Father’s Business”. Jesus made this clear to us in John 20:21: “Then said Jesus to them again, Peace be unto you: as my Father hath sent me, even so send I you”. In other words, Jesus came for the Father’s Business and in the same manner we are in the Father’s Business. Many are called into the Father’s business but only a few are chosen. (Matthew 22:14). Only the chosen will finish strong; it is not enough to be called but you must be chosen.
Experience the dynamic teaching ministry of Wole Adeyi!

*When God Calls ………..He equips
‘The task ahead of you is never as great as the Power behind you’
Your place on earth is related to an assignment that God had in His mind before you were born; that makes you critical to His global plan. So before you let that fear and doubt rob you of your place in His plan, remember that the task ahead of you is never as great as the Power behind you.
When you find yourself at a place of fear and doubt, or with that nagging emptiness in your soul that seems to have no answer, “When God Calls” will become your guide through the treacherous storms of life. In this book you will find inspiration to take that leap of faith towards your destiny.
As Wole Adeyi unveils the reality and power of the call of God, you will be challenged to the core of your soul, as you are exposed to realities that few are declaring in these days. “When God Calls” will defy almost every concept you have about God’s calling, as he shifts the focus away from mere religion towards the ultimate issue –‘the call of God for your life’.
The weaknesses of random service will be exposed as you tap into a spiritual reality that will rearrange your thought pattern and empower you in these turbulent times.
As you open the pages of this book, you will enter into a brand new world of God’s truth; and you will discover the ‘Call’ that is yours to answer.
