The General Overseer of the Lord’s Chosen Charismatic Revival Movement, Pastor Lazarus Muoka, has admonished the church and indeed the world to repent and become members of the family of God.
“Acknowledge your sins and sin no more, and you will become a member of family of God, be born again, and then begin to live a life that pleases God. A Christian is not a sinner and a sinner is not a Christian. He that committed sin is of the devil.”
Pastor Muoka made the statement at a two-day international crusade of the church which has the theme ‘Only God Can Do This”, and took place at the Revival Ground, International Headquarters of the mega church at Ijesha, Lagos State.
The crusade which was preceded by the 21th Anniversary celebration of the church on Friday, December 24th, ran between Saturday, December 25 and Sunday, December 26, and witnessed testimonies of God’s omniscience, omnipotence, omnipresence and almightiness.
Pastor Muoka further itemized some of the things that constitute sin, saying “All unrighteousness is sin, unbelief, unforgiving, hatred, lying, grudges, malice, love of money, backbiting, consulting the dead, any kind of Cult, local or international cult, secret or open cult, repent and burn whatever insignia and paraphernalia: rings or handkerchiefs, burn them and denounce them. If you are stealing church money, repent, if you are a second wife, pack your bag and go, you don’t have husband.
“Kidnapping, lesbianism, homosexuality, murder, adultery, covetousness are all sins. For men and women putting on what is meant for opposite sex, repent and come to God, and you will witness great transformation in your life,” Pastor Muoka disclosed.
The 2023 edition of ‘Only God Can Do This’ has come and gone, but it did not end without astounding and unbelievable miracles, healings and deliverances, things that appear difficult in man’s eyes happened.
Brother Joseph Udechukwu, who disclosed how he came to the Chosen in 2013 as a-nobody, testified of God’s faithfulness in his life, saying that within the period he has been blessed with a house containing eight flats, and another one where he lives. He has also been blessed with children. He emphasized the need for people to pay their tithe in order to tap from God’s blessings.
Pastor Muoka prayed for new kidney, liver, heart to be recreated. He cursed cancer. Glaucoma, madness, deafness, dumbness, cataract, memory loss, piles, paralysis, hunchback, abnormal growth, were all rolled away at the crusade.
Some of the instant miracles witnessed as the man of God, Pastor Muoka stepped onto the podium include testimony of a 44 years old woman born deaf and dumb who spoke for the first time; another 14 years deaf and dumb rolled away; two years memory loss recovered, 20 years stroke gone, five years leg poison dried up immediately after the Pastor prayed, 14 years spinal injury healed, 31 years deaf and dumb gone also.
The man of God confidently declared that any problem brought to the church would never go back with the sufferer, assuring them that wherever their destined are tied by the evil ones, they are loosened and he declared them free, assuring the worshippers that they would not leave the crusade ground empty handed.
Speaking on the theme of the crusade, ‘Only God Can Do This’, Pastor Muoka asserted that God in heaven is capable to do all things, because he created all things and by him all things were made. “God is capable to heal you, deliver you, favour you, and defeat your enemies. I don’t care what your enemy is thinking; God will do it for you. Today marks the end of poverty and sudden death, hatred, mockery and reproach have been taken away, and in your days of trouble, God would deliver them.”
He said God would use those that attended the crusade to show example of those God has changed their situations and people would notice that something has happened in their lives, adding that it could only be God.
Pastor Muoka said “Man is limited in all things but the enemy has no final say in your lives. God that delivered the Israelites from Egypt will deliver you; life is not by struggle but by grace. He will put smile in your faces. God does that which no man can do; you will never die before your time. You will succeed, no matter the age, age is not a barrier; your father is here to do what no man can do.”
