Nigeria needs divine intervention to overcome challenges – Olukoya

The General Overseer of Mountain of Fire and Miracles Ministries (MFM), Dr. Daniel Olukoya, has urged Nigerians to pray for divine intervention to overcome the current challenges.

Olukoya said this while speaking with journalists at the end of the church’s 35th anniversary celebration and Thanksgiving on Sunday.

Supreme News reports that the convention started on Aug. 16–18.

He said what Nigeria needed was divine intervention, urging Nigerians to continue to pray for the country.

“What we really need is divine intervention. We need to pray for divine intervention.

“That song writer says the arm of flesh will fail you, the brains of men may fail, our hard work may fail, but with God, all things are possible.

“Let us understand that no matter the resources you have, the Bible says, expect the Lord to build a house; their labour is in vain.

“So, what we need in Nigeria is divine intervention. The Lord should lay His hands upon the whole nation and our leaders so that they will take the right decisions and help the people of Nigerians,” he said.

Olukoya said that he was confident that the country has a bright future, adding that God had plans for Nigeria.

“I am chronic and believer in one Nigeria,” he said.

Speaking on the anniversary, Olukoya said that the next level for the church was to suffocate the whole world with God’s gospel.

He added that the church would continue to spread the message of deliverance and prayers around the world.

“It is interesting that a lot of people are not interested in prayers.

“They have seen that the powerless powers have not helped anybody; rather, they waste money and life, but with the power of prayers, nothing is impossible,” he said.

Olukoya said that there had been a lot of testimonies in the church in the past 35 years.

“We are here to celebrate our 35th anniversary of Thanksgiving and to thank God for what He has been doing in our lives because it has been 35 years of God silencing the silencer.

“It has been 35 years of awesome testimonies, terminating the malpractices of the enemy, uncommon answers to prayers, and mysterious divine visitation, among others.

“So, let us appreciate the Almighty God because there are many here; if not for the God of MFM, they will not be alive today,” he said.

Supreme News reports that the high point of the Thanksgiving service was the award presentation to some pastors and 492 first-class graduate youths who are members of MFM.

The award was for MFM members who graduated with first class from universities across the globe.

Olukoya explained that the aim of the initiative was encourage the youth, the leaders of tomorrow.

He urged the youth to take this as a challenge to work hard to be the best.

Supreme News reports that Lagos, Ogun and Delta State governors graced the thanksgiving service, respectively
