The Lords Chosen Charismatic Revival Movement
on December 23, 2018 marked the 16th Anniversary of the church at
the International Headquarters, Ijesha, Lagos, where the General Overseer,
Pastor Lazarus Muoka told the people that the church has every reason to
celebrate. SUCCESS DAMIAN reports.
Attracting members
from all over the world, the 16th anniversary celebration of the
Lords Chosen Charismatic Revival Ministry was not just a day for merriment, it
was also a day of reviewing the past experiences of the church.
Pastor Lazarus Muoka said
the Lords Chosen is a Church established by the Lord, adding that the church is
moving from glory to glory.
He added that God’s
glory is made manifest in the church because it is His church. Muoka also used
the occasion to tell the congregation that better things are ahead.
“Wherever Christ is,
there shall be power and glory.
No wonder there was
tribulations and persecutions when the Lords Chosen was born, but today, the
stone which the builders have rejected has become the chief corner stone.”
While maintaining that
the church will continue to ride on the victory of Jesus Christ, Muoka stated
that the Lords Chosen would continue to triumph and prevail until the 10
billion soul mission mandate of the church is accomplished. “It has been victory
all the way in the past 16 years. The Lord has advanced us.”
Muoka reeled out
reasons why the church should celebrate saying “The Lords Chosen was born in a
manger at 16, Odunaike Street, Ilasamaja, Mushin, Lagos in a kiosk just like
Jesus who was in a manger.
“Today December, 23
the ministry was born. After The Lords Chosen was born, Harold heard about it
and was troubled and he became uncomfortable that a king was born. It was the
same thing when Jesus Christ was born.”
The renowned pastor said
there was a conspiracy to silence the church. “People poured us water, throw
broken bottle at us and shot gun to disperse the worshippers who were coming
for night vigil. Even among church leaders there were plans to destroy the
Lords Chosen. General Overseas, pastors, evangelists of churches, all manner of
people, many claimed they invested in the church and they went to the media both
traditional and social media, they did cassettes so that unbelievers would be
swayed but God gave us victory.”
The man of God also
stated that many of the landlords who locked their gates against the church at
inception are now tenants of the church.
He said “All the
persecution could be likened to the experience of the Israelites in the land of
Egypt, the more they fight us, the more we flourish,” Muoka said.
The revered man of God
admitted that 2013 was a challenging year for the Church. “2013 was a
challenging year for the Church when a lady and her co-travellers invented
tales which she recorded in both audio and video and distributed to the public.
Many came claiming to have invested in the church, all in a bid to frustrate
and close the Chosen Church.”
He said God
established The Lords Chosen Revival Ministry for the benefit of mankind and
marshalled out reasons why the church should celebrate. “We can see the great
transformation in the church and there is every reason to celebrate. We must
appreciate God.”
Muoka maintained that whereas
people are dying in warfront, the Chosen of the lord were saved. Through the
church the dead came back to life through the power of God.
“In this church we
have hosted ministers, presidents, governors in the past 16 years.”
He said today the
Lords Chosen is in all the villages, local governments and states in Nigeria, Asia,
America and Europe. “We have thousands of pastors and multitude of worshipper. This
international headquarters was a waterlogged area, but today it is an edifice,”
Muoka disclosed.
