During His life time, He Ministered in over 130 countries. Many of those meetings were not invitational. He went into nations with His own money and arrested Nations with the power of God. When it comes to signs and wonders, particularly the gift of the working of miracles, but the gift of the working of miracles can produce healing results, it can also make signs to multiply.
One of the last miracles that happened in Benin City before Archbishop Benson Idahosa died, He came to the building site of Benson Idahosa University, He had travelled for several weeks and when He came back, He was told building materials had finished, He commanded the materials to multiply and it was so.
Archbishop’s story will make you wonder whether somebody is not exaggerating. A boy fell from 3 story building and broke his skull on the concrete floor, His skull was cracked, his brain was pouring out and they called for Him, He gather the skull and began to pray in tongues and his skull joined back together. The boy didn’t need the hospital again..

It is a great lesson to learn on humility and leniency – a momentary character displayed by then trader, Aliko Dangote allegedly earned him a special prophecy of wealth from late Archbishop Benson Idahosa of the Church of God Mission International.
Whether it’s a fact or fallacy the story can be a subject of dispute but it was said that Africa’s richest billionaire, Mr Dangote of the Dangote Group received a special blessing from the late Charismatic Pentecostal preacher which transformed his life ever since.
Here’s the full story according to Gospotainment:
Aliko Dangote was born into a wealthy home in Kano. He got his first degree in Cairo, Egypt. He had always loved trading, and reports say he hawked sweets even as a primary school child, even though his family was wealthy.
Dangote is really a very humble person even by the confessions of people who have interacted with him.

But he is not the only hardworking Nigerian. He is not the only humble person around. He is probably not the most business savvy in Africa.
Be that as it may, he is certainly the richest black man in the world. His companies employ over 11, 000 people directly – not to mention, distributors, contractors and other vendors who depend on his businesses to thrive. Dangote is a blessing to humanity.
There is no family in Nigeria today that does not have a Dangote product in their home. If it is not sugar, then it is salt or the house you are living in was built with a Dangote cement.
Everyone has something to do with his business, so like (the biblical) Job, he earns a little of everyone and that is the way to get wealthy.
Dangote is the 23rd richest person in the world and is said to be the second most powerful African alive.
The question is how did Dangote attain such a height? Yes, you can’t take away his hard work and business acumen, but that is only the starting point.
The answer will not be found in the Forbes Magazine or on Wikipedia. The answer is in the verse of scripture quoted above: If you are willing and obedient you will eat the good of the land.
Sometime in the early 90s, Dangote had an encounter that set his foot on the path of destiny. Archbishop Benson Idahosa had some guests who needed to travel back urgently from Benin to Lagos to catch up their flight to the US.
Unfortunately by the time the Archbishop took his guests to the airport they were told that the last flight for the day was overbooked and not a single seat was available.
As a matter of fact, the passengers have boarded and were about to take off. Idahosa asked for the plane to be delayed a few minutes and walked to the tarmac where he was allowed to address the passengers.

He pleaded with them about the desperate situation of his guests and asked that two persons should donate their seats for his guests to get to Lagos.
None of the people on the plane batted an eyelid. Some pretended to be asleep, some pretended to be praying and the man of God stood in hopeful expectation.
From the back of the plane, a young man asked the person sitting next to him to get up and together they vacated their seat for the American visitors. Idahosa stopped him in the aisle of the plane and asked,

“Youngman, what is your name and what do you do ?
“My name is Dangote, Aliko Dangote and this is my assistant. I am a trader, a businessman.”
It was there and then, that Papa Idahosa prophesied to him that “the world will get up for you.”
He prayed that God should take his business beyond Africa and bless him beyond measure.

Today God has answered that prayer. God destined that blessing for someone seated in that plane that evening. But there was a condition attached to it – Isa 1: 19 (TLB);
“If you will only let me help you, if you will only obey, then I will make you rich!”
Dangote’ s wealth today probably was meant for a businessman who was too proud, too fixated in his mind to offer the “flamboyant man of God,” the “prosperity preacher” his seat.
What a food for thought. Archbishop Benson Andrew Idahosa died on March 12, 1998.
