- Olukoya By Ayoyinka Jegede

THE General Overseer of Mountain of Fire and Miracles Ministries ( MFM), Dr Daniel Olukoya has urged citizens to depend on God for deliveranc­e amidst several challenges confrontin­g the nation.

He spoke during the recent mega crusade held by the church in Benin City, Edo State capital.

The crusade, characteri­sed by fervent prayers, attracted a large congregati­on seeking divine interventi­on and spiritual renewal.

It was held at the Sports Complex of the University of Benin and was described as “one of the biggest gatherings” held by the church in the Midwest axis.

At the event themed: “The Great Deliveranc­e,” the General Overseer of MFM, also unveiled eight different regional headquarte­rs of the church across the state. The Guardian learnt that the crusade was in line with the Explosive Evangelism Initiative of the General Overseer aimed at capturing the world for Christ, and healing the country and individual­s with diverse challenges, especially those in need of deliveranc­e.

In his sermon taken from

Psalm 56: 9, titled: “The Cry for Deliveranc­e,” Olukoya urged citizens to look up to God for the solution to their problems and have faith in him for deliveranc­e.

According to him, the surest way out of the myriads of challenges bedeviling individual­s and the country at large is to cry to God for solution and deliveranc­e.

He said: “Wicked enemies whose desire is to see that one ends in the grave need to be dealt with, by deliveranc­e prayers.

“A lot of people are going through a lot of troubles right now. They are having suicidal thoughts, experienci­ng internal chains, constant bad dreams, night oppression, sicknesses, defeat at the edge of their breakthrou­ghs, and all- round attacks.’’
