In 1991, a young man walked onto the grounds of Victory Bible Church International looking for something he could not yet name. A father met him at the gate. That father did not keep him. He pointed him toward someone greater, and in doing so set in motion more than thirty years of formation under four apostolic fathers who would each deposit a different dimension of one divine commission. I Did Not Choose Them is Bishop Osei Tweneboah Koduah's personal witness to the Victory Commission, God's mandate to restore ancient foundations, rebuild broken lives, expand into new territories, and gather the nations, as it has been carried by four men: Bishop N.
A. Tackie Yarboi, Bishop Clement Amankwa Asihene, Bishop Elijah Patrick Saforo, and Bishop Emmanuel Ackun. This is not a biography written from a distance. It is an eyewitness account from a man who was born again and filled with the Holy Spirit under one father's ministry, trained in Bible School under three of the four, sent into the mission field to plant more than twenty churches, seated at headquarters for eight years watching apostolic leadership carried up close, and is still serving in North America alongside the very man who met him at the gate thirty-five years ago.
Through Scripture, testimony, and hard-won theological clarity, this book traces how one commission wears four faces, and asks the question every reader must eventually answer for themselves: where do you fit in what God is doing?Restore the foundations. Rebuild the people. Expand the territory. Gather the nations. The commission is not finished. It is still looking for the next one willing to be sent.
