Living Testimonies

Church, praise the Lord.

My name is David Ilode from Odili Road Church. I thank God for His healing power in my life.

In 2015, I underwent an appendix operation. Due to complications, the surgery became more serious than expected, and after my recovery, the doctor told my parents that I would continue to experience recurring pains. For ten years, I lived with those pains, especially whenever I was hungry, overfed, or pressed.

During the March Healing Service, the pain became unusually severe, to the point that I could hardly stand. While prayers and declarations were going on, our father in the Lord declared that someone who had undergone surgery and was still experiencing recurring pains had just been healed.

I received the word by faith, and to the glory of God, from that day until now, I have not experienced any pain again.

May the name of the Lord be glorified in Jesus’ name. Amen.

My name is Elder GodsLove Ichela from Rumuokparali Church, Ahoada West. I am here to thank God for healing me from a long-term heart problem.
My condition started in March 2004. I suffered serious breathing difficulties and heart-related pains for many years. I visited several hospitals, but the problem continued. Last year, in September, the condition became worse, and I felt very close to death.
During the Healing Service week, I held on to God’s word and declared that I would not die. While Daddy was praying, he mentioned a case of a damaged heart receiving healing and said God was giving someone a new heart.
Immediately, I received the word by faith and declared, “My case is settled!”
To the glory of God, from that moment, the affliction disappeared. I can now breathe freely and no longer experience the problem that troubled me for many years.
May the name of the Lord be glorified. Hallelujah!

Brethren, praise the Lord! Hallelujah! My testimony began in June 2025 when I developed severe pain in my lower back and right waist. After several medical tests, including MRI scans across multiple hospitals. I was eventually paralysed and could no longer walk.

Doctors recommended surgery with a 50/50 chance of success, but it was later cancelled. I was moved from one hospital to another and spent about four months bedridden, completely dependent on others.

At the Government House Clinic, after extensive tests, the doctors told my wife that I would never walk again. But she replied, “That is what you have seen, but God has not spoken. My husband will walk.”  I was discharged on 22nd November 2025. The next day, during the Healing Service, I watched from my room as our father, the International Director, prayed specifically for spinal and bone conditions. I received that prayer in faith.

That night, I prayed earnestly. The following morning, as I got up for devotion, I found myself walking without my aid. I had forgotten it in my room.

Brethren, from that day till now, I can walk, I can jump! This is the same man the doctors said would never walk again.  Today, I have fully resumed duty. To God be all the glory, in Jesus’ Name. Amen.

Church, praise the Lord! Praise the Lord, church! God is so wonderful. I believe there is amazing grace here. This morning, I woke up with severe pain in my neck and could not turn it at all. For about eight months, I had not attended church, although I continued praying. Deep within me, I knew it was not right.

Despite the pain, I prepared and went out. Along the road, I asked a man about this church and its closing time. Although I was heading elsewhere, I suddenly heard a voice say, “Turn back.” I chose to obey.

The moment I entered through the gate, I discovered that my neck was free, I could turn it without pain. I kept turning it in amazement, saying, “Jesus, I am healed!” I also thank God for saving me last year through that same voice. I was about to travel when I heard, “Don’t go.” I stayed back, and my brother who travelled had an accident and broke his leg. Today, I give all the glory to God. Amen.

Today, at this March Healing Service, it marks exactly 30 years since my call into ministry in the Greater Evangelism World Crusade.

In February 1996, at a healing service in Olanada Church, I was present as an Assistant Pastor, enjoying the service like everyone else when our father, the founding International Director of blessed memory, announced the posting of ministers. Suddenly, I heard my name: “Brother Francis Asuk – Woji Church.”

I froze. I was unsure it was me until someone confirmed it. Honestly, I felt unqualified and unwilling. I was comfortable serving quietly as an assistant pastor and working in Bayelsa as a field officer. I even resolved to appeal for a change of assignment.

When I met our father, he simply said, “You will do it, my son.” I tried to give excuses, but both he and Evangelist I. H. Pepple insisted I must go. My senior pastor, Evangelist G. S. Okorogba, also encouraged me to try.

The turning point came when a delegation from Woji Fellowship visited me, saying they might leave if I did not come. I immediately yielded and said, “I will come, whatever it takes.”

When I arrived, Woji was a small fellowship with many challenges. I wondered how I would cope, especially as my work kept me away for weeks. But God sent help, faithful leaders like Elder John Akuma, Pastor Nancy Egop, and others supported the work in my absence. I was also greatly encouraged by the visit of Pastor (Dr) Mrs N. E. Numbere to that humble fellowship.

I served there for 13 years. Brethren, 30 years later, that once unwilling servant is still pastoring. Today, I am a Zonal Minister. What began as a small fellowship has grown into a zone, with Woji Church 1, Woji Church 2, and Trans Woji Church.

I return all glory to Almighty God, who made it possible—even when I doubted.

May His Name be glorified.
