From Cyriacus Nnaji, Lagos
Millions of worshipers have testified to the awesome power of God in miracles, deliverances, healings, Holy Ghost Baptism, among other great work of God at the Lord’s Chosen’s two-day international crusade, ‘Only God Can Do This’.
This year’s programme which was held between Saturday, December 24 and Sunday, December 25, 2022, at the international headquarters of the church at Ijesha, Lagos State, was unique in special ways. For apart from coinciding with the 20th Anniversary celebration of The Lord’s Chosen Church, it was the last major event in the church’s calendar of programmes and then it is also a precursor to the landmark four-day international programme of the church, tagged Mgbidi-Lagos Experience.
Unbelievable and humanly impossible testimonies of miraculous of work of God in the lives of the chosen were given by the benefitting members, most importantly many first time worshippers had firsthand encounter with God through Holy Ghost Baptism, many came with torrents of challenges but they had those challenges rolled away.
A sister testified how her mother who was crippled from a ghastly motor accident dropped her clutches at the command of the General Overseer of the Church, Pastor Lazarus Muoka; Brother Paul Anyanwu testified of God’s goodness for breaking 16 years barrenness in the life of his wife with twins. Sister Rebeca Udeh thanked God for making her a Chosen with genuine repentance. She disclosed that she prayed God for a business of her choice and God granted her the request, and now she is a multi-millionaire. She attributed her successes in life to her obedience to the word of God: paying her tithe, partnership and payment of first fruits to the church at the beginning of the year.
Other testimonies included that of Fabulous Uche Osai who in 2020 dreamed of being an importer bringing in containers into the country, and it later manifested in the physical. He is now an importer. He narrated how he grabbed God in the dream and held him until God blessed him. He said today he has built a block of 12 flats in Lekki. His containers are uncountable. This was a man who did N8,000 job at a factory in Aba, Abia State in 2008, but today he is a testimonial of God’s faithfulness in the life of the Chosen one.
He also testified how God rescued him from evil people who took his name to a native doctor, but because he is a Chosen, the native doctor was pressurized by spiritual forces to call him and confess the evil plan by his friends to eliminate him.
Brother Laz Ifezie thanked God for wiping away reproach from his life, he said he pledged N50,000 at 2016 Mgbidi Crusade even though he did not know how the money would be paid. He said he paid the money in three days and since then it has been unimaginable financial transformation. Today he is a proud owner of a bungalow and a duplex.
Greater miracles were recorded immediately Pastor Muoka mounted the podium. As soon as he made the pronouncement that those who came with clutches should drop them and walk, by faith they dropped their walking aids, stood up and walked. They raised their clutches and walked to the altar for testimonies. The lame did the same, the deaf and dumb were not left out, as they heard and talked. He commanded every weathered and broken bones to be restored to normal. He cursed hunchbacks and commanded them to disappear, damaged organs, moving objects, epilepsy, spirit of madness were all cancelled; he declared freedom for every congregant. The most amazing was the testimony of an instant healing whereby a man whose manhood disappeared found it immediately the man of God mentioned his case, he went wild with jubilation.
Speaking on the topic of the crusade, ‘Only God Can Do This’, Pastor Muoka reiterated the truism that man is limited in everything but God is an unlimited God. He also spoke on possible situations and God’s interventions. Muoka added that man is limited in wisdom, power, lifestyle, in so many things. He stated that man cannot give solutions, hence if you run to man for solution, you are making a huge mistake. He disclosed that when you are obedient to God, the same God would fight your battle. Muoka said it is not by power or might but by the spirit of God. Quoting Zachariah 4:13 he said I can do all things through Christ that strengthen me, and it is only God that can do this, adding that man is the creation of God and must rely on Him. He advised that man should rely on God in time of trouble and out of trouble because He holds the key to man’s life.
Muoka said God is not limited in anyway, and nobody can stand him in battle because he is the mighty man in battle, he has the power to do all things. He said Jesus died and was buried but on the third day he rose, he then concluded that it is only God that can do this.
Speaking on Possible solutions and God’s interventions, Muoka said that the situation could be poverty, indebtedness, incurable sickness and diseases, barrenness, crisis in marriage, unjustifiable enmity, and unemployment; among others, but God has the power to settle the storm in one’s life.
He appealed to sinners to drop their sins and embrace God, for a sinner cannot be a Christian and a Christian cannot be a sinner. He called on kidnappers, occultists, drug addicts, prostitutes, lesbians, homosexuals, and other criminals to repent and embrace God.
