MFM at 30: We have increased the voltage of prayers in Christendom —Olukoya

THE Mountain of Fire and Miracles Ministries (MFM), Dr Daniel Olukoya, has revealed that the church has, without doubt, increased the voltage of prayers in Christendom in Nigeria and beyond.

Olukoya stated this during the 30th-anniversary celebration of the church held at the church’s International Headquarters, Onike, Yaba, Lagos, last Wednesday.

The famous programme of the church “Manna Water Service” turned into a carnival-like event when the weekly crowd-pulling programme turned into the the celebration of the 30th anniversary of the ministry.

The auditorium featured the celebration of the grace, glory, and manifestation of God’s power and abundance in the ministry as the General Overseer of the church, Dr Daniel Olukoya, led unlimited praise to God for the successful journey of the church in the last 30 years.

Joyous dance and praises busted from the altar to the entire auditorium. Elated Olukoya invited the three assistant general overseers present at the service, Pastors Kehinde Adegbolahan, Gbesan Adebambo, and Abiodun Ladejola, to join him by the pulpit and the quartet held hands, danced, and rejoiced in the Lord, as members watched with glee and surprise.

Speaking briefly before the thanksgiving celebrations, Olukoua hinted at the history of the location, now known as the MFM International Headquarters.

“The piece of land, with which the ministry started its international headquarters, was discovered by his mechanic (who later became a member and is today, a pastor in the church), who informed him that the plot was up for sale, in 1994,” he revealed.

According to Olukoya, the landlord asked for N120,000 for the plot, whereas, his salary where he worked then, at the Nigerian Institute of Medical Research (NIMR), Yaba, was less than N300 per month. However, he said “God raised a sister, who did not know that we wanted to buy land, to pay for the land.

“The sister had sold something and brought exactly N120,000 as her tithe and we bought the land,” he added.

Amidst cheers and praises to God, the cleric told the eager worshippers that the ministry was celebrating 30 years of kingdom expansion, destinies being restored, and promotion.

“There are people here, who can confirm that without MFM, they would have been dead. We are celebrating 30 years of rescuing men and women from the mouths of lions. Here people are getting married; people are receiving mysterious promotions,” he added.

The General Overseer also disclosed that the monthly crowd-pulling programme, “Power Must Change Hands,” will be 30 years old next year.

He urged the excited worshippers to relax and wait for the bigger celebration of the ministry, which is the 35th-anniversary ceremony, coming up in August this year.

“Today, the MFM International Headquarters occupies over 70 plots of land, which is over 17,150 square meters. This is minus some other adjoining halls and auditoria that belong to the church, where services are held simultaneously, with the main auditorium during programmes.

“For a fact, the biggest private organisation in the entire Onike, Iwaya, Bariga, Somolu, Ebute Meta, and Yaba axis, is the Mountain of Fire and Miracles Ministries International Headquarters,” he added.
