Wife of the renowned Nigerian gospel film actor, dramatist, producer and director, Mike Abayomi Bamiloye, Evangelist Mrs. Gloria Bamiloye, has opened up on her journey with her husband.
She said when she got married to her husband, things were not rosy but God Almighty has proven Himself in their lives and marriage.
According to her, “We have been through what they refer to as thick and thin. But you see, following God is the best and that has made us survive the hard times.
“They call it the wilderness period and I guess it’s the right word. Everything will not always be rosy, especially in this kind of ministry where you don’t expect offering from anywhere as it is not a church.
“So, financially, it wasn’t easy. But we know God can take care of everything and He has proven Himself. We try to follow his step and as he leads, we follow. But of a truth, God has been so faithful to us.
“At the time we got married, it was all a journey of faith. My husband had no other job than this one and I was not working. So, to even eat some times then, was not easy at all.
“We never ate what we wanted, but just anything God provided. But God sustained us. In it, we had all our children. I remember when my first baby was due.
“We had a ministration and I was almost following them because that was the only place I was assured of free food and all. But I was not permitted because I was heavy.
“I had to sit at home and cope with the hunger. This was how I lived all through then and many were always making jest of me saying that I should go and look for work.
“I always told them I am not lazy, that I could work but I believe in God. At times then, the only available food will be corn. I would then turn corn to all kind of delicacies. We even prepared and ate it like rice.
“But now what to eat is not a prayer point. The same God That did it for us is still that same God, he will change your story”.
Newstracktoday reports that Evangelist Gloria got married to Evangelist Mike Bamiloye on October 8, 1988, a union that marked the true beginning of their impactful Mount Zion Faith Ministries, growing from deep faith despite financial challenges at the time.
