Introduction

The first article in the series is the introduction and foreword
to the book titled "The WILL of God: An Introduction by the Reverend John O. Odum".
We will go to the main part of this book. We talk with Pastor John Odum about the
Nigerian-Biafra Civil War

Even now, everything that happens to me is God's will. These are intended to be lessons (especially for me and anyone else who learns from
them). So when I get into trouble it doesn't bother me too much. I think this is God's will. Now Let's go.

The Nigerian-Biafra Civil War:

The Civil War broke out in 1966; It cost lives, the towns and the villages:

The Fall of Igbere Village Igbere, Bende Local Government Area of Abia State, Nigeria. Bailey Fall took place on Sunday morning In the 2nd quarter of 1967, while

his mother and other siblings were running into the forest from another direction when he followed others outside. A few hours later they found themselves again by chance. They ran into the forest and stayed there for three years In the bush where he lost his father.
His father was also buried in that forest. He said he will never forget some of the funs
that took place the day he heard the news of his father's death. He was seven years old
when he heard the news of his father's death. He wanted to cry, but he couldn't because it was getting harder to cry without pain. Therefore, since his body was not harmed and he could not hold back his tears, he deliberately hit his toes on the large stone next to him. When he saw the
blood flowing, he burst into tears and shouted loudly.

After burying his father, the family was faced with what he called a "kitchen control system" since it was a polygamous family with three kitchens. All the spouses had males and females respectively. The priest's kitchen was the smallest and last kitchen in the family, and when Pastor Odum was seven years old, he decided to take over his mother's kitchen as the first son. This is the beginning of his disadvantage.

The pastor is the fourth born, but the only survived son with his sister. What kind of leadership do you expect from a seven-year-old?
His education was the first threat. He completed the first class of models before his father's death. Thus, his educational program was closed until 1972.

His social life also deteriorated and he became a baby-nurse and cleaner at a very young age. His health also deteriorated. He later developed pernicious dystrophy, a fatal disease caused by malnutrition. Of course, his battle for survival started early. God used the ministry of the Nigerian government to heal and help this young leader. After some time, he came to a village called Ugwueke in Bende L.G.A. He works as a baby-Nurse in that village in Abia State, Nigeria. He did this for two years, until one day he received news from the government that taxpayers' children could receive free education. Thereupon, his brother second kitchen registered his siblings, he
gave the young pastor a copy of that document. With this move, the pastor left his baby-nursing job, and was sent back to the school in the first half of 1972. When that government education program stopped, His brother took him to Aba in Abia State, Nigeria. The young priest thought he would continue his studies, but was surprised to see himself finished his education in evening studies. The young pastor had been working alongside his brother for 13 years, starting in August 1973. In 1985, he had to go into fulltime work for God at the age of 25. Throughout the thirteen years he worked with his brother, he was living in their shop. His friends nicknamed him "Shop-Rat". He went to Bible School to study the Bible without the permission of his brother. When he was twenty-five, he stopped helping people and became a pastor in the service of the Almighty God. This wasn't his brother's fault. Will he blame God for not being able to solve his problem? You can answer these questions yourself.

ACADEMICS CARRIER

The young priest began his academic career in 1966 and completed all of his first year courses in one year. The Civil War and his father's death provided a bridge to his education. He returned to school in 1972 and 1973 and completed the second and third grades of primary school. He was not lucky enough to go to higher school, but at the age of fourteen he entered a night school, where he graduated in the first class. In 1976, he took the 6th grade final exam of primary school and passed. He thought he would graduate from college or work nights, but he wasn't allowed to do that. Fortunately, he didn't go to school after the 6th grade.

The young priest gained wisdom. He began reading and learning on his own, without guidance. He studied the Bible more than anything else. During Rev. W.V. He did a great job and this guy gave him a great opportunity. He appointed him to represent his Church in Nigeria (i.e. International Deliverance of Churches).
