Brother
Emmanuel was trained at The Elijah Challenge Seminar in November
2004 in Nigeria. He
was taught how to heal the sick as Jesus did to prove to
the lost that He is the only way to the Father.
Okwudor/Ihebinowere,
Nigeria Healing Crusade - December 2006
Okwudor/Ihebinowere
are twin communities in Imo State. They used to be one community
until the government separated them.
However, even though they are separated they still do things
together especially in the aspect of Christianity. This community
is not too satanic like other communities because most of the
people have embraced Christ, and have carried out several land/community
deliverances which have repelled ancestral spirits from the land.
The
healing crusade took place on 28th of December and concluded
on the 30th of December. I was the only guest
speaker for the
crusade. On the first day of the crusade we had a crowd as many
sons/daughters of the land were in the community to celebrate
their Christmas/New Year festival. We had a crowd of almost ten
thousand people in attendance. I preached on the topic “from
a persecutor to a preacher,” which had to do with how the
Lord visited me when I was an Isl--mic Scholar and made me a preacher
and how I then underwent persecution and how God raised me up
to be one of his healing evangelists. At the end of the message
I told them if God can save me, He can likewise save them. I
concluded with how He died on the cross to pay the price for
our sins, sickness, shame and poverty.
At the end of the message I made an altar call and many people
responded. I led them to Christ; it was glorious to see these
precious people shedding tears before the Lord. I ministered
to the sick. The result was dramatic, as people came out to testify
about his healing touch in their lives. Below are some of the
testimonies for the three days.
The second day was glorious, we had more people coming out to
receive Jesus into their lives, many testifying of His healing
grace.
The third day---the 30th of December---was incredible. The neighboring
community was told that Jesus was working wonders in this twin
community and people trooped into the crusade in great numbers.
On that day I preached on the topic of the cross of Calvary.
Before I gave the altar call, people were already coming out
with tears to the altar to receive Him. I led them to Christ
after which I ministered to the sick. The power of God swept
over the congregation and many that were under satanic oppression,
possession, and witchcraft influence fell under the power of
God. Some of them began to confess uncontrollably that they were
witches, while others confessed that they belonged to one occult
group or another. During the three days we recorded countless
testimonies but we were able to give opportunities to a few people
to testify to the crowd. Among them were:
1.
A man was instantly healed of seventeen years of stroke. He
couldn’t raise his hand, neither could
he walk because his left leg was paralyzed, but after the healing
ministry he
walked on his own, and was able to use his leg and raise his
hand effectively.
2. Multiple arthritis victims were healed instantly. Some of
them while testifying were weeping saying they did not know that
God loved them so deeply to heal them, and that they will serve
God better.
3. Seven totally deaf and dumb people: three were born deaf while
others became deaf in their childhood as a result of measles.
They were all healed as I ministered mass healing.
4. Three people were healed of goiters. They vanished as I was
preaching on the last day of the programme. Some people bore
witness to the testifiers saying that they knew they had the
growths, but now they had vanished by the power of God.
5. A woman was pregnant for two years. After the first night
she gave birth the next morning.
6. Three people testified that they could not walk very quickly
because of some things moving in their legs. But during the healing
ministry they felt something leave their legs. Now they can walk
quickly without pain.
These are a few of the testimonies which were shared. We give
God the glory for the great things He did.
I am also happy that those I trained as I was trained by you
are now having good testimonies in their healing meetings and
crusades.
