*A Life of Purpose: My Journey of Faith, Education, and Service*
*Introduction*
As I reflect on my life's journey, I am filled with gratitude for the incredible experiences, challenges, and opportunities that have shaped me into the person I am today. Born on Sunday, April 27th, 1980, I have been blessed with a life of purpose and passion. From my early days as a young boy with big dreams to my current roles as a pastor, professor, and entrepreneur, I have been driven by a desire to make a positive impact in the world. My journey has been marked by twists and turns, but through it all, I have remained committed to my values of hard work, integrity, and service. I am grateful for the love and support of my family, including my wife, Pastor Gladys Akan B, an educationist and consultant, and our four children, Ernest, Umoh, Marvelous, and Usor. Together, we have navigated life's ups and downs, and I am proud of the people they are becoming.
*Early Life and Education*
My educational journey began in 1986 at Government Primary School Mayne Avenue, Calabar, where I spent seven years honing my foundational skills. I was an inquisitive child, always eager to learn and grow. My primary school experience laid the groundwork for my future academic pursuits.
In 1993, I transitioned to Government Secondary Commercial School Atakpa, Calabar, where I spent two years before moving to Emilis Secondary Commercial School Ekpo Eyo Calabar. Although my secondary school journey was not without its challenges, I remained focused on my studies and developed a strong work ethic.
After completing my secondary education, I gained admission to the University of Calabar, where I pursued my undergraduate studies from 2004/2005 to 2008/2009. This period was transformative, as I was exposed to various academic disciplines and developed critical thinking skills.
To further enhance my spiritual knowledge and leadership skills, I attended Charis Bible Seminary and College Port Harcourt from 2021 to 2025. This experience deepened my faith and equipped me with the tools necessary for effective ministry.
*Ministry and Spiritual Journey*
Growing up in The Apostolic Church Nigeria, I served as an Elder from birth until May 2022. This experience shaped my spiritual foundation and instilled in me a strong sense of community and service. As Lead Pastor of The One-Fold Ministry, I have been privileged to serve and inspire others. As President and Chancellor of The One-Fold Bible College and Seminary, I have been able to combine my passion for education and ministry, equipping students with the knowledge and skills necessary for effective service.
*Humanitarian Work*
As State Disaster Preparedness Coordinator of the Nigerian Red Cross Society Cross River State, I was trained by both the Nigerian and British Red Cross. This experience equipped me with skills in disaster management, response, and preparedness, allowing me to make a positive impact in my community.
*Educational Leadership*
My experience in educational leadership has been incredibly rewarding. As Director of Gladden's International Schools, Calabar, I have been able to shape the minds of future generations and provide quality education. My role in NAPPS (National Association of Proprietors of Private Schools in Nigeria) has also allowed me to contribute to the development of private education in Nigeria.
*Entrepreneurial Ventures*
As an entrepreneur, I have been able to leverage my skills and experience to establish successful businesses. Classified Consultants Agency Limited, Advance Brain Computers, and Braindo Studios are testaments to my innovative spirit and commitment to excellence.
*Youth Development and Community Service*
Through Green Guide Volunteers of Nigeria and Fingersmark Life Improvement Foundation, I have been able to empower young people and make a positive impact in my community. These initiatives have not only benefited the recipients but have also enriched my life and broadened my perspective.
*Challenges and Triumphs*
Throughout my journey, I have faced numerous challenges and setbacks. However, I have learned to view these experiences as opportunities for growth and development. My triumphs, on the other hand, have been a source of inspiration and motivation, driving me to continue pursuing my passions.
*Reflections and Insights*
As I reflect on my life's journey, I have gained valuable insights into leadership, ministry, and entrepreneurship. I have learned the importance of perseverance, hard work, and dedication. My experiences have also taught me the value of community, teamwork, and mentorship.
*Conclusion*
As I look back on my life's journey, I am filled with gratitude for the incredible experiences and opportunities that have shaped me. I am excited about the future and the potential to continue making a positive impact in my community. I hope that my story will inspire others to pursue their passions and make a difference in the world.

- HOW A FEMALE MINISTER AND PASTOR'S WIFE SHOULD BEHAVE TOWARDS MEMBERS AND THE PUBLIC IN THE CHURCH, WORKPLACE, AND MARKETPLACE
By Pastor Prof. A. Akan Bassey
Consultant and CEO, Classified Consultants Agency Limited
Lead Pastor, The One-Fold Ministry
The role of a female minister and pastor’s wife is one of great responsibility, influence, and spiritual significance. Her life, both in private and public, serves as a mirror through which others see Christ. She is not only a supporter of her husband’s calling but a spiritual leader in her own right, called to serve with dignity, compassion, and wisdom. Her behavior must reflect godly character, moral integrity, emotional maturity, and a consistent Christian testimony at all times.
In the church, she is expected to model humility, maturity, and spiritual devotion. Her interactions with members should be grounded in love, patience, and wisdom. She must avoid favoritism, gossip, or unnecessary harshness, knowing that many look up to her for guidance and strength. She should be approachable and ready to counsel the hurting, guide the young, and strengthen the weak. Her presence should bring comfort and order, and her words should edify rather than wound. She must be mature in handling church issues, avoiding emotional reactions and learning to address matters with spiritual understanding, diplomacy, and discernment. Discretion and confidentiality must govern her relationships with church members, as trust is an essential pillar of ministry.
As a spiritual figure, she is a mentor. Titus 2:3–5 speaks clearly about the duty of older women to teach younger women in holiness, love, and godly living. She must be a model to all other women in the church and society, leading not only by her speech but also by her conduct, dressing, family life, and devotion to God. Her personal spiritual discipline, her love for God’s Word, and her ability to pray and intercede should be evident in her life and ministry. She must also respect her husband’s leadership and support him in ministry, publicly and privately. If she is serving in the same church where her husband is the lead pastor, she should accord him respect in all ramifications, never undermining his authority, but rather standing as his strong support and trusted companion in the work of the Lord.
In the workplace, whether in a secular office, private business, or under another authority, she must be mature, professional, and godly. If she is under a boss, she must submit to constituted authority respectfully, fulfilling her duties with diligence and integrity. She should not expect special treatment because of her spiritual status but should earn the respect of her superiors and colleagues through her competence, punctuality, and moral uprightness. Her interactions must be free from office gossip, manipulations, or compromise. She should avoid inappropriate closeness with male colleagues and maintain professional boundaries that uphold her testimony. Even under pressure or provocation, she must respond with wisdom and restraint, exemplifying the character of Christ.
In the marketplace or public spaces, her behavior must remain consistent with her faith. She should dress modestly, speak respectfully, and deal fairly. Rudeness, impatience, or aggressive bargaining should never be associated with her. She must understand that even in casual or informal settings, she is still a public representative of Christ, her family, and the church. Her actions should display integrity, courtesy, and a calm spirit. Whether buying from street vendors or transacting with major business partners, her testimony must remain intact.
She must also know how to handle both praise and criticism with emotional maturity. When praised, she must remain humble and give glory to God. When criticized—fairly or unfairly—she should not respond in bitterness or public outbursts. Instead, she should either clarify matters respectfully or overlook minor issues with grace, knowing that her character and consistency will always speak louder than words. Public arguments, especially on social media, should be avoided, as they often do more harm than good to her image and the ministry she represents.
In conclusion, a female minister or pastor’s wife must understand that her life is a constant message to those watching. Her calling is not confined to the pulpit or pews but extends into every corner of life. Her testimony must be consistent—whether in church leadership, at her workplace, or in the marketplace. She must be a mature, respectful, wise, and godly woman who upholds Christian virtues in all situations. Her example should inspire other women in the church and society to live for Christ with boldness and balance. In honoring God through her life, she strengthens the ministry, blesses her family, and builds a lasting legacy of faith and virtue.

- *WHY MINISTERS SHOULD NOT FULLY DEPEND ON CHURCH INFLOW: THE NEED FOR ESTABLISHING COMPANIES, SCHOOLS, BUSINESSES, ETC*
_By Pastor Prof. A. Akan Bassey, PhD, FISAM
Consultant and CEO, Classified Consultants Agency Limited_
+2347037401596 | pastorprofakanbassey@gmail.com
In today’s ever-changing economic and spiritual landscape, it has become increasingly important for ministers of the Gospel to embrace a multidimensional approach to life and ministry. While the Church remains a sacred institution dedicated to the salvation and growth of souls, ministers must understand that full dependence on church inflow—offerings, tithes, and donations—can limit their effectiveness, sustainability, and long-term impact. The biblical model and practical realities both affirm the need for ministers to establish income-generating ventures such as companies, schools, and businesses. This is not only wise but scripturally sound, socially responsible, and strategically necessary.
Firstly, financial dependence on church inflow alone can place unnecessary pressure on both the pastor and the congregation. When a minister’s livelihood is solely attached to the giving patterns of church members, there is a risk of compromising the purity of the message. There may be a temptation to tailor sermons to please givers or manipulate emotions to increase offerings. This undermines the integrity of the pulpit and shifts focus from feeding God’s flock to feeding personal needs. Establishing alternative income sources allows ministers to preach boldly, live uprightly, and lead without financial coercion.
Moreover, ministers must lead by example in industry, entrepreneurship, and productivity. The Apostle Paul, though deeply committed to his calling, was a tentmaker who earned his living without being a burden to the church (Acts 18:3; 2 Thessalonians 3:8). His life demonstrated the balance between spiritual dedication and economic independence. Ministers who operate businesses or educational institutions model responsibility, creativity, and initiative. They also create employment, support the community, and extend their influence beyond the church walls.
Economic independence provides stability for ministers and their families. Crises such as economic downturns, church splits, or personal challenges can leave a minister stranded if there is no additional source of income. But when a pastor owns a functional business, a school, or other sustainable enterprise, they are better equipped to handle emergencies without appealing constantly to the congregation. This builds respect, trust, and credibility among both members and outsiders.
The establishment of institutions such as schools, clinics, and companies also becomes a platform for ministry in itself. These platforms serve as tools for outreach, discipleship, and social transformation. A school owned by a ministry becomes an avenue for instilling godly values in young minds. A business can serve as a mentoring platform for young professionals. Through these ventures, ministers can disciple nations in practical terms, not just through sermons, but through systems that serve society.
Furthermore, in many developing nations, ministers must recognize the limits of church-based income in addressing long-term goals such as building projects, mission outreaches, or retirement planning. Establishing viable ventures ensures continuity, sustainability, and legacy. It creates financial freedom that empowers the church to expand, reach unreached territories, and minister effectively without financial strain.
The world is evolving, and the Church must remain relevant, not only spiritually but also economically. Ministers must rise to become nation-builders, economic influencers, and social reformers. This can only happen when there is a shift from sole dependence on offerings to engaging in profitable ventures that honor God and serve humanity.
In conclusion, ministers must be taught, trained, and encouraged to think beyond the pulpit and invest in ventures that support their calling, family, and community. Owning companies, schools, farms, or consultancies is not a distraction from ministry—it is a dimension of responsible leadership. Financial freedom empowers spiritual authority. When ministers become economically independent, their voice becomes clearer, their impact deeper, and their ministry more fruitful. It is time to raise ministers who are not just anointed, but also equipped to thrive, build, and leave a lasting legacy for generations to come.*WHY MINISTERS SHOULD NOT FULLY DEPEND ON CHURCH INFLOW: THE NEED FOR ESTABLISHING COMPANIES, SCHOOLS, BUSINESSES, ETC* _By Pastor Prof. A.

By Pastor Prof. Akan Bassey
There was a time when the message from the pulpit was clear and undiluted. The Church boldly preached about Holiness, the Kingdom of God, Righteousness, Heaven, Paradise, Hell Fire, Eternal Life, Eternal Suffering, Resurrection, and the coming Judgement Day. These powerful and convicting truths produced visible results among believers—one of which was decent dressing. The fear of God and reverence for His holiness governed not only the hearts but also the appearance of those who professed faith in Christ.
Back then, modesty was not a suggestion; it was a fruit of sanctification. Young men and women, touched by the message of the Cross, renounced worldly fashions and clothed themselves with dignity. The Church stood as a beacon of light, separated from the corruption of the world.
But what has happened to our generation?
As self-appointed pastors rose to popularity—many of whom were never called, trained, or truly converted—they began replacing the old rugged message with smooth, ear-tickling doctrines. Today, prosperity, materialism, and motivational slogans have taken the place of biblical truth. The pulpit has gone silent on hell, judgment, righteousness, and eternal consequences. Sermons against sin are now labeled as "judgmental," and holiness is mocked as "old-fashioned."
This shift in doctrine has birthed a new culture—a culture of nakedness. Indecent dressing, once shameful even in the world, has now found acceptance among professing Christians. Sadly, some churches no longer correct or confront this growing wave of moral decay. Instead, they promote entertainment, fashion shows, and celebrity-style services that only encourage more exposure of the body and less fear of God.
The truth remains: wherever the true Gospel is preached, modesty will follow. A heart transformed by the Holy Spirit cannot be comfortable in clothing that dishonors God. God has not changed—He still demands holiness both inside and out. Romans 12:1 calls us to present our bodies as a living sacrifice, holy and acceptable unto God. This includes how we dress.
The dressing of a believer should be a testimony, not a temptation.
We must return to the days when the altar was not for fashion parades but for brokenness and repentance. Pastors must rise again to call sin by its name, not sugarcoat it. If we continue to entertain the people instead of evangelizing them, we will soon have churches full of sinners who are comfortable in sin, and empty of saints who are set apart for God.
It is time for the Church to wake up. The trumpet of God is about to sound. Let every believer examine themselves. Let pastors return to preaching truth, not trends. Let the Church once again be clothed with righteousness—and let our appearance reflect the holiness of the One who saved us.
“Come out from among them and be ye separate,” says the Lord. “Touch not the unclean thing, and I will receive you.” (2 Corinthians 6:17)
Let us dress as those who are heaven-bound, not hell-driven.

Pastors must rise again to call sin by its name, not sugarcoat it. If we continue to entertain the people instead of evangelizing them, we will soon have churches full of sinners who are comfortable in sin, and empty of saints who are set apart for God. It is time for the Church to wake up. The trumpet of God is about to sound. Let every believer examine themselves. Let pastors return to preaching truth, not trends. Let the Church once again be clothed with righteousness—and let our appearance reflect the holiness of the One who saved us. “Come out from among them and be ye separate,” says the Lord. “Touch not the unclean thing, and I will receive you.” (2 Corinthians 6:17) Let us dress as those who are heaven-bound, not hell-driven.
