As the Master’s Royal Choice Revival Ministries (TMRCRM),
Alapere, Ketu, Lagos prepares to celebrate its third anniversary,
the church members and their friends have been counting their
blessings.
Indeed, many of those who come seeking divine intervention
in their concerns are singing hallelujah, having entered the
presence of Jesus Christ, the burden bearer. Thus, the auditorium,
rechristened ‘Miracle Arena’, has become a Mecca
of sorts.
Indeed, The Master’s Royal Choice Revival Ministries
has built for itself a reputation of a place where burdens
are lifted, considering the avalanche of testimonies given
daily on the floor of the church.
Remarkably, the testimonies cover virtually every sphere of
life, ranging from deliverance from demonic spirits, physical
healing, financial breakthrough, breaking the yoke of barrenness,
to success in international travel and job opportunities among
others.
The sum total of the testimonies is that God, through his
anointed servant, Pastor Success Ibeakanma, founder/General
Overseer of the church, changed their lamentation of anguish,
sorrow and uncertainty to songs of liberation and audacity
of hope. That is to say, the cherished belief that worry ends
where faith in God begins was so appropriately manifested
in the astonishing turn-around of their conditions.
Bro James Onyeukwu Babah, a retired banker, is one of those
who narrated his supernatural encounter during challenging
circumstances. He said that he suffered the agony of cataract
in his eyes for 26 years but the cross passed over him during
Pastor Ibeakanma’s ministration.
According to the 60-year-old indigene of Obollo, Ikwuano,
Umuahia, Abia State, he was due for eye operation at the Gbagada
General Hospital, Lagos to rectify his failing sight before
God cancelled the appointment through His miraculous touch.
"Ever since, I feel no pains, I see very clearly. The
cataract just disappeared after 26 years of anguish. It is
simply amazing," volunteered the father of seven.
Another astounding testimony was given by Mrs Stella Callistus
Ekpe, an indigene of Umudike, Ikwuano, Umuahia, Abia State.
The mother of five said that she was poisoned, which left
her leg swollen. The condition, she narrated, made movement
very difficult biting pains right inside her marrows and bones.
Beaming with smile, she disclosed that after applying both
orthodox and unorthodox treatment to no avail, she found her
way to The Master’s Royal Choice, where God manifested
His awesome powers.
She said: "For months, I was in serious pains after I
was poisoned and my leg got swollen. The pains were such that
moving about was a serious problem and I could not even sleep
at night. I took drugs and even visited a native doctor but
rather than get better my situation got worse with each passing
day.
But when I came to Royal Choice, during the "healing
is real" programme holding every Thursday, Pastor Success
prayed for me and applied anointed oil on my swollen leg.
Barely 45 minutes later, the leg in question burst open and
the liquid gushed out. Now, I am totally free, glory be to
God, who has again proven that there is no problem too big
for him to solve."
However, the most profound testimony of the day came from
one sister Ijeoma Nwakwudo. Hers was an experience which empowered
the belief that even in the bleakest of time, believers have
the brightest hope.
Obviously the happiest person in the world, she narrated how
ultrasound scans suggested a rare condition to the effect
that she was carrying a stone-like object without features
in her womb instead of a proper foetus. According to her,
she rejected the medics’ verdict, believing that God
would change the report by His will and understanding.
"When the results of the scans came out, I was surprisingly
calm. I never wavered in my faith that God would reverse the
situation. In fact, I saw it as another opportunity for God
to manifest Himself and put the devil to shame. I knew that
it was satan, who was behind the stone-like object in my womb
when I was supposed to be carrying a baby. So, I told Pastor
Success my predicament and he prayed with me. It was a short
but powerful prayer, which frustrated the plans of the enemy.
He assured me that the God he serves had turned the stone
to a normal baby. Because I didn’t want the doctors
to tell me what I don’t want to hear, I refused going
to the hospital again. My husband urged me to seek medical
attention but I refused until I put to bed. In fact, I was
delivered of a baby boy at home. With God, no shaking,"
she explained.
In a similar vein, Mrs Rosemary Uloho shared the testimony
of the happy ending of an ordeal in which she had satanic
attack during pregnancy. According to the Benue State indigene,
the devil planted a strange object in her womb but to the
consternation of doctors, she gave birth to a beautiful baby
girl. She attributed it to divine visitation by God.
Several others testified to benefiting from the high voltage
prayers that destroyed the chain which has held many of God’s
people down. Thus they escaped from spiritual captivity and
poverty to their rightful inheritance as decreed by God. Those
who testified include: Williams A. Benjamin, Helen Ibeabuch,
Ngozi Amaechi, Joy Ezirim, Felicia Obi, James Orji and Demian
Onuoha. Accordingly, the church declared March as month of
multiple miracles.
In a chat with Daily Sun, Dr Ibeakanma maintained that it
does not please God’s loving heart to see His children
in pains, hence He intervenes in their situations and changes
their stories for good."
God answers prayers. No doubt about that. There is actually
no situation the Almighty cannot deal with according to His
desires. I’m a mere vessel in God’s hands, He
is the miracle worker. It’s my belief that the miracle
house is still full, open for those who seek Him diligently,"
he said.
