Success Damian:
Thousands of
Christians, members of the Chosen Ministry, people who have received healings,
deliverances, miracles and Holy Ghost baptism were in high spirit for the
celebration. The Chosen Choir, the Twin Sisters and other groups sang to the
glory of God to celebrate what God has used the church to accomplish in the 20
years existence of the mega church.
The deaf
heard, the dumb spoke, the blind saw, businesses have been transformed, and
life changed for good. These were the fulcrum of testimonies on the day of the
anniversary.
Speaking on
the 20th anniversary, the General Overseer of the church, Pastor
Lazarus Muoka, stated that God has proven himself to be the covenant keeping
God. Looking at what has been happening in the ministry, he said it is only God
that can do it and urged the members to appreciate God of the chosen for His
great work of wonders in the Lords Chosen Ministry.
“This church
has spread, what this God has done deserves our appreciation. What shall we
render to God for all his benefits towards us,” Muoka asked rhetorically.
He spoke
further “God has done a lot of things here, miracles, deliverance, healing,
salvation, Holy Spirit baptism, we have 4000 members in Nigeria alone; the
church is in the entire South and North America, Europe, Australia, Asia, Middle
East. What we started in a little hut in Ilasa 20years ago, this God na Baba,”
Muoka said while appreciating God.
He narrated
the great transformational growth of the Chosen and said coming to their
present headquarters at Ijesha is the finger of God.
Muoka
narrated the growth trajectory of the church, how he acquired the chosen
revival ground, which now boast of modern facilities including 24 hour power
supply, and all the accoutrements of a modern city, adding that the place has
become America in Nigeria, adding that God has continued to grow the church.
Pastor Muoka
disclosed that because of the tremendous and unbelievable spiritual and
infrastructural growth witnessed in the church, jealousy and persecution reared
their ugly heads up against the church “They came with envy and persecution,
but all that ended in one year.”
He stated
that what the church has today are gifts from God, and must be appreciated. He
said Solomon appreciated God and that provoked God to do even greater thing for
the king by asking him to just mention what he wants, Solomon asked for wisdom
to be able to direct the affairs of his kingdom. Muoka stated that God did not
only give Solomon the wisdom he requested, but he also bequeathed him with
unimaginable wealth never seen before in the land of Israel.
He added
that ritualists, kidnappers, prostitutes got converted in the church. He said
“As far as you are in this church you have crossed over, God will cross you
over. It is a privilege to be a chosen.
“The church
is adjudged the fasted growing church in the world. The chosen has proved the
reality of God,” Muoka stated.
There was
heavy downpour within Ijesha while the celebration was going on, which the
moderator described as showers of blessings.
The event
witnessed testimonies by members of the church. Young Miracle Okoli testified
how she passed her Junior WAEC in flying colours; Sister Chinwe from City of
God, Ejigbo Branch testified how a thief broke into her family’s shop in the
night and became confused until he reported himself to vigilantes and asked for
forgiveness.
Honourable Emmanuel
Oghene Egoh, Representing Amuwo-Odofin at the Federal House of Representatives
under the People’s Democratic Party testified how the prayers of the chosen guaranteed
his victory and wanted to seek their prayers again as he seeks reelection in 2023.
A brother
who left Lords Chosen suffered terrible business downturn, he faced ridiculed
but got repositioned after he rejoined the church in April 2023, his forgotten
files were dusted up and he witnessed great turnaround in his business again.
Brother
Sunday Okeke joined the Lords Chosen in 2005 as a truck pusher on hire purchase,
he was poor with big wound in his leg, but didn’t know how the wound vanished,
and today he is a wealthy man with five shops, two sets of twins and recently added
a jeep to his fleet of cars.
Brother
Sunday Nwachukwu who was imprisoned over murder charges was freed after
believing in the teachings of the Chosen while he was in prison.
Ifeanyi
Joseph Ezeani suffered accumulated debt of over N2million after burial of his
father made him run away from his base in Benue State to Lagos, and today his
condition has been made better after joining the Chosen.
