Taribo West, an ex-Super Eagles footballer has revealed the divine encounter he had that led him to quit football and become a pastor.
According to the ex-footballer, before he decided to become a pastor, he saw God one-on-one; an encounter that changed his life.
During an interview with BBC, Taribo West was known for his strange hairstyle during his playing days and shared how he had a divine encounter with God
He disclosed that he heard God’s voice audibly instructing him to render an apology to a woman she offended.
According to Taribo West, after speaking to the woman he received a lot of prophesy from her which changed his life.
“Why would I switch from being a footballer to becoming a pastor? I saw God one-on-one. That’s where my transition started; From the field to the pulpit.
“We were celebrating. In the middle of that, a woman stumbled into me and said: ‘Sir, please may I know your name?’ I said: ‘I am Mr No name’.
She said: ‘May I know where you live?’ I said: ‘I live nowhere.’ She left with annoyance.
“In the twinkle of an eye, I just heard an audible voice. And it came like a slap. It said: ‘Switch, turn.’ I turned. It said: ‘Look at the woman. Look for her now and call that woman and apologize to her. I said that to you.’ That can only be a voice from God.
