The General
overseer of the Liberation City church, Dr. Chris Okafor popularly known as the
Oracle of God, owing to his unrivalled prophetic accuracy has said that two
major factors militate against Nigerians’ belief in prophecy and miracles.
The man of
God who in 2016 alone held miracle crusades in more than a hundred locations
around Nigeria, Africa, Europe and North America has kicked off his 2017
crusade tours with resounding miracles to show for it.
At the Chris
Okafor World Outreach Ministries (COWOM) crusade recently held in Asaba, a man
who has been blind from childhood miraculously received his sight even while
the man of God was just preaching. Then there were diverse miracles that left
people in that region thinking hard about the source of his powers.
From Asaba,
the man of God proceeded to Oshogbo in Osun State where a mad man who was
bundled into the crusade ground was healed. People who knew the madman and how
long he’d been mad simply didn’t know what to think about what happened.
Then there
was the highlight – when the man of God prophesied that there was a pastor in
the congregation who had visited a witch doctor for power to grow his church
membership. He prophesied that the witch doctors had made the so-called pastor
to sleep in a graveyard for three whole days! At this, the mammoth crowd was
thrown into frenzy.
The pastor
in question – Pst. Shedrach eventually came out and confirmed every word the
man of God had spoken. The man of God later prayed for pastor Shedrach and
destroyed the alleged “crowd-pulling” charm in his pocket, with which he
intended to pull crowd away to his own church.
There was
also the case of a child who had lost consciousness and was virtually
clinically dead. The man of God grabbed the child and prayed fervently for life
to come into its body and it did. When the news of all that had happened broke,
some people reacted with skepticism. Some even said that it was all arranged.
Others called it ‘Fake’.
When the man
of God heard about it, he simply said
“My heart
grieves for Nigeria. I kind of know why people in this part of the world hardly
believe in prophecies and miracles. Go to YouTube and see the number of fake
prophets who are out there performing magic and deceiving people up and down. I
use to show those videos to my pastors. And I know some of these people. My
heart grieves. It’s hard to see all that and still believe that anyone can be
real, doing what we do. See, there’s an autobiographical documentary on me that
will soon come out. I want the world to see it and know that I was born to do
what I’m doing. I invite those who think we arrange people for miracles to
visit our church. If I see you, the lord will use me to tell you what you’re
going through, and not only that; the same God will use me to provide you with
solution. That’s the difference between fake and real. A real prophet will give
you solutions and that solution will be permanent. That’s what God has been
using me to do in our church and I dare anybody who’s in doubt to visit. My
advise to Nigerians is to not throw away the baby with the bath water. The fact
that there are fakes doesn’t mean that God hasn’t chosen a few of us to do what
we are doing. If you don’t understand it, it doesn’t mean it’s not real. I pray
that God will help us all”
The man of
God who also blamed some of Nigerians’ hostile approach to miracles on lack of
sound knowledge of the bible said “rather than get angry with peoples’ opinion
about prophecies and miracles, I have chosen to just bear with people, focus on
what I’m called to do and then leave the rest to God. More than half the people
in our church today were first of all skeptics, before they became believers in
Miracles and prophecies. Let God lead.”
