Nigerian Pastor Prayed Dead Baby Back to Life

 

 

On Sunday, February 7, 2016, at the Mountain Miracle and Liberation Ministries, a.k.a Liberation City, a dead child was prayed back to life in a suspense-filled movie-like scenario.
 The six-month old child said to have been ill for weeks was brought to the church by her parents for prayers. Unfortunately, the child gave up the ghost as soon as they arrived the church.
 Her frantic parents eventually wept and pushed their way through to the podium where the man of God ministered to other people, and he immediately took the child from them and prayed fervently. Then he dropped the child on the altar and commanded her spirit to come back and the child moved! The congregation exploded in tumultuous praise as the child continued to move and even later drank some water!


 In August of last year as well, the same scenario played out in Kogi State, at the Chris Okafor World Outreach Ministries Crusade venue, in Lokoja. God used Dr Okafor to bring the child in question back to life!

 

By the grace of God, Dr. Chris Okafor is known for accurate prophecies and the unusual ability to profer solution in every occasion.

Gunmen kidnap Dickson’s aide at Redeemed Church

Gunmen on Sunday kidnapped an aide to Governor Seriake Dickson of Bayelsa State, Captain Henry Ungbuku (retd).

Ungbuku, who is the special adviser on aviation to the Bayelsa State governor, was abducted as he was about leaving the Redeemed Christian Church of God, Light House Parish, after service.

It was gathered that his abductors had waited close to the church located in Iwofe, Obio/Akpor Local Government Area of Rivers State as early as 8.50am. They waited for their victim to come out of the church at the end of the service before pouncing on him.

  An eyewitness told our correspondent that Ungbuku, who came out of the church some minutes after 10am, was stopped by the hoodlums as he drove out of the premises of the church.

Ungbuku’s abductors were said to have asked him to open the door of his vehicle while one of them pointed a gun at him.

The gunmen, according to the source, drove their victim away to an unknown destination after forcing him into a waiting vehicle.

“They were about four, but we did not know whether there are others hanging around the premises of the church. They forced him out of the car at gun point and took him away.

“There was confusion around the premises of the church when the incident happened. The kidnappers were all armed and many people who saw the scene were all scared,” the eyewitness said.

When contacted, the state Police Public Relations Officer, Mr. Ahmad Mohammad, said he had not been briefed on the incident.

Mbaka’s transfer not punitive, says Catholic church

 

The Catholic Church has clarified the controvery trailing the transfer of Rev. Fr. Ejike Mbaka. It said the priest was merely sent to where he would be more useful to the church.
In its first reaction since the controversy broke, the church said the posting was not meant to be punitive.
Secretary-General of the Catholic Secretariat of Nigeria Rev Fr Ralph Madu said transfer of priests was a “normal church procedure”.
Public criticisms had greeted the transfer of Fr. Mbaka out of Christ the King Parish where he had served for over a decade and established the Adoration Prayer Ministry. He is to resume immediately at his new post, Our Lady Parish, Emene.

 Speculations were rife that his transfer was a punishment for his support of a Muslim presidential candidate, Muhammadu Buhari, over a Christian, Goodluck Jonathan.
Fr. Mbaka described his re-posting as a ‘calculated move to make him suffer’.
“I know I will suffer within now and a few months to come; I am going to suffer and suffer, I know that. I’m going to suffer because I have no place to put my head. I am going to suffer because I have no place to keep the Adoration Ministry’s assets. I know I’m going to suffer,” he lamented.
But Madu said: “Such frivolities have nothing to do with the posting. His posting should have been a privilege, not a punishment – which the Bishop can do because he has the power.
“Mbaka’s own is not an exception. The Bishop has the right to post any priest wherever he feels his service would be more useful to the church.
“If he (Mbaka) says it’s a punishment, then it’s open for further investigation. Posting is a regular thing; a priest can be transferred after two, three, four, or more years, on the Bishop’s discretion.
“That ministry is his private ministry; it does not belong to the church. Overseeing a parish is a full time job and overseeing a ministry is a bigger task. If the church decides to take him somewhere where he’ll have more time to carry out his ministry, how is it punitive? That should not be the language.”
Fr. Madu hinted that Fr. Mbaka had done things that were unacceptable to the church in the past but received no punishments for them.
“He is supposed to be a missionary, what if the Bishop had closed down the ministry, which is within his
power to do? Sometimes, transfers can be for the good of the priest as something can be going wrong which he might not be aware of.
The Bishop is free to move any priest at any time, it is his prerogative.
