The General Oversser of Lord’s Chosen Church, Pastor Lazarus Muoka(left), with Governor Duoye Diri of Bayelsa State, at the Mgbidi-Lagos Experience Crusade in Lagos.
It is said that the taste of the pudding is in the eating, without doubt it is only those that attended the just concluded Mgbidi 2024- Lagos Experience Crusade that could in the true sense of it express the visit of heaven to the participants at the crusade.
But suffice it to say that the visit produced abundance of showers of blessings as God brought joy out of sorrow, laughter out of tears and very good things out of evil. The second day started with praises and worship after which the man of God took the stage and fed the worshippers with spiritual food of the words of God.
All the four sermons of that day vis-à-vis- Are You A Chosen Forever, Where Will You Be After This Life and What God Has Determined Shall Be Done part two- were all impactful and garnished with scriptural verses. Each of these messages was meant to workout salvation, sanctification, Holy Ghost Baptism and general godliness in the life of the congregants. During the testimony section, Sis Flora Soh from Cameroon testified of her daughter’s deliverance from daredevil armed robbers by merely declaring that she is a Chosen. ‘ Sis Gloria Momah from Niger State testified that She was delivered of excruciating moving object in her body after the prayers of the Pastor over the television. ‘
Sis Amaka Chibuike from Anambra state said that although she had a safe delivery but her son couldn’t speak nor hear at the time of his delivery. And since the last three years she has been going from pillar to post searching for solution to no avail until someone introduced her to the Lord’s Chosen. She testified that the first day she entered the chosen church was the day her son started speaking and hearing. ‘
Sis Joy from Abuja testified how the prayer of the Pastor delivered her from frequent urinating. According to her, the problem had been a thorn in her flesh until she attended one of the deliverance meetings and the Pastor prophetically spotted it and commanded the frequent urinating to stop and that was the end of a five-year problem. Bro Frank and Sis Blessing were born deaf and dumb 20 years ago in Ogoja, Cross River state. They arrived Lagos on the eve of the crusade in the company of Ogoja brethren who facilitated their journey.
Before now they were symbols of reproach to the family and community, and nobody ever would believe that their condition could be positively changed again in life. But the chosen brethren that brought them were not discouraged by the negative perception of the people of the world, for they have absolute confidence that God of Chosen will surely answer the prayer of his servant the pastor of the Chosen. According to them, it was while the Pastor was ministering on the first day that suddenly they felt something like gentle breeze trying to gain entrance into their ears and as they tried to figure out what was happening, they started hearing and speaking.
Both confirmed they had same experience when interviewed further. Bro Olayuoola from Benin Republic also testified yesterday how he received healings of two and half years swollen leg. He stated that it was while the Pastor was praying that he started feeling a thrilling sensation on the swollen part of his leg and before he knew it the swollen leg flattened and the pain ceased. Bro Prince Obiechina case was a broken bone injury that he sustained during a car accident.
For 6 years he could only walk with the help of crutches. But in one of the services Pastor mentioned his case and prayed, Lo and behold the broken bones instantly joined to the glory of God. Bro Olusegun Akinsunmi and wife were full of joy as they testified about how God wiped away their tears by healing the wife of Cancerous Disease.
In his words, the husband said that when they noticed that the wife had a swollen neck, they initially thought it would subside but as days went by the swelling continued to increase. So she decided to undergo test and to their chagrin it was diagnosed to be cancer. And given the fact that cancerous tumors are incurable, they took the result to the God of Chosen who makes impossibilities possible and made a vow to give God a token if He healed her.
And God did to them according to their faith and they paid their vow. There were tens of other testifiers which cannot be accommodated here due to space. The testimony section had great impact on the faith of the worshippers who at the time were emotionally an spiritually stirred to look up for their own fantastic experiences. Following the testimony section was the deliverance prayer ministration by the Pastor. In his usual humble manner, Pastor Muoka quietly and unassumingly took over the pulpit from the moderator and said “Amen”.
“If you brought anyone that needs healing, get closer to the person, for he/she will be healed now” Muoka asserted. Thereafter he started commanding demons of paralyses, diabetes, insanity, death, sicknesses and other diseases to move out of their hosts. As if they heard the voice of the man of God, there was simultaneously physical evidence of healing of the sick, lame, blind, deaf and dumb etc that culminated into mighty display of God’s power. Of course, there is no other way to prove the presence of God than in the demonstration of His power where the sick are healed, lame walk, deaf hear and sinners are converted to God.
What followed after was jubilation galore. Bro Tobias who had been under the painful torment of lymphatic filariasis otherwise known as elephantiasis for over 25 years was among the first sets of recipients of instant miracles. He said that as the Pastor was praying he went into a trance and saw swarm of mosquitoes flying out of his legs.
The more they flew away the less became the swollen leg. And by the time he regained consciousness, he discovered to his surprise the elephantiasis and its accompanying pain are no more.
Another instantaneous miracle was that of Bro Chibuike Oga who was brought to the crusade fettered with chain. According to his father, Chibuike lost his sanity 21 years ago and became very violent thus he was kept on chain round-the-clock. He has been taken to different psychiatric hospitals and prayer homes but to no avail. But when they heard about the crusade, they came all the way from Ebonyi state to give it a trail maybe as a last resort. They arrived on the second day of the crusade.
As God would have it as soon as Pastor started praying, the young man became quiet and when his cognitive abilities were tested, behold the ushers discovered to their amazement that his sanity has been restored. That was the end of 21 years of trouble and pain for the family. Bro Akande Sunday experienced more than 5 years excruciating pain of Parkinson diseases before coming to the crusade.
According to him, He doesn’t belong to any church but has vowed to pitch his tent in any church where God delivered him from his problem. During deliverance prayer, he felt under anointing and by the time the prayers ended, the Parkinson disease of five years was gone. Akande has now declared to be a member of the Lord’s Chosen ministry.
For bro Pierre Traole from Cote d’ivoire, before coming to the crusade, he was battling pain on the hip region as a result of dislocation he had four years ago. But instantly at the declaration of freedom by the Pastor, a relief came upon him and excitedly he jumped out and began to do what he couldn’t do before which evidenced his healing. Bro Anthony Alagbe from Edo state inability to walk as a result of Arthrites since last 6 years came to an end as he suddenly began making use of his legs again without aids unlike before. The case of Bro Ifejika was so pathetic. It wasn’t long after he suffered stroke that he had blindness. Bro Ifejika said that he had lost all hope of survival and even preferred death than being alive.
However, the www.tlccrm younger brother who the burden of caring for him is on his shoulder heard about the crusade and resolved to bring him to the crusade. They traveled all the way from Anambra state and arrived on the eve to the crusade. His healing of blindness came on the second day while Pastor was praying for total cleansing of participants from all problems. Bro Ifejika regained his sight immediately pastor concluded the prayers and on further check discovered that all the symptoms associated with stroke are gone.
Both brothers joyfully danced to the glory of God. For Sis Grace Ebun’s case, she was confined to wheelchair since 4 years as a result of partial stroke but deliverance came her way after pastor’s prayer and she left the wheelchair and walked freely. Many others received healings of broken bones, spinal cord injuries, stroke, paralyses, blindness, deafness and dumbness even those that came with wheelchairs and clutches, lifted up all to celebrate and glorify God for making them walk again.
Pastor Muoka while preaching charged the participants to be steadfast in righteousness and holiness for in doing so they will retain the blessings of God from the four days crusade. He reminded them of the need to not only know the word of God but be ready to put it in practice in all manner of their conversation. The presence and testimony of the Executive Governor of Bayelsa State His Excellency Duoye Diri who came to express gratitude to the God of Chosen for giving him victory at the last gubernatorial election was the highlight of the third day of the program.
“There is no power than the power of God” He stated. Continuing he said, “I made a vow when God through Pastor Muoka’s prayer made me the Governor of Bayelsa State. I vowed that I will not look to the right or left for help but only unto God and will always come to the altar of Chosen to prostrate. And that is why I am here to fulfil my vow and thank Him for the present victory at the poll for a second tenure”
