The Gospel train arrives Okene, Kogi State
Greater Evangelism World Crusade Ageva Church, Okene L.G.A, Kogi State organized a three-day crusade. https://goo.gl/maps/seibuLJuvKJ2
With great passion for the lost and in fulfillment of a part of the vision of the Ministry which is to raise the faces of men to look up to Jesus, the crusade held from Friday 8th July to Sunday 10th July 2016 with the theme: Setting the Captives Free.
The brethren in the church at Okene L.G.A prepared rigorously for the crusade as they embarked on a seven days fasting and prayers before the crusade. A brother who has been suffering from ulcer for some years made up his mind to take part in the fast, he fasted for the seven days but did not notice any symptom of ulcer at some point he even fasted for 3days without food. One week later, he still did not notice any symptom of ulcer; to the glory of the Lord, he received his healing.
On the first day of the crusade, during the midnight prayers, the anointing of the Holy Ghost filled the whole atmosphere so much that the brethren could not stand on their feet, pains disappeared, burdens were lifted and most importantly the prayer altars of the people were revived again.
Indeed God was in to set the captives free as He confirmed the words of His servants with signs and wonders. The sick were healed, a brother who had been believing God for the baptism of the Holy Ghost with the evidence of speaking in tongues received his gift and most importantly souls were won to the kingdom which is the greatest miracle of all.
On the first day 11 people accepted the Lordship of Jesus over their lives; a total of 65 individuals were present. Prayers for the sick were made on the second day and a total of 74 individuals were present; a total of 37 individuals were present on the last day which was the grand finale. It was really an awesome and remarkable time in God’s presence.

Persistent Faith: May 2016 Healing Service
The 2016 May Healing Service held on 22nd May 2016 at the Greater Evangelism World Crusade, World Headquarters, Rukpoku, Port Harcourt.
We were not done thanking God for His great works in the last Healing Service, only to be marvelled by greater things this Service. Just to recount a few: in the May Healing Service Sis. Destiny was healed of a chronic ulcer that had lasted for two years; God also delivered Sis. Leebari and her kids from stray bullets on their way from school. The armed robbers shot several bullets that smashed their car, but none touched them. God's divine provision was also evident in Sis Kelechi's testimony, as she had vowed towards the building project despite having no available finances, but God in HIS usual manner provided for her - more than three times the amount she vowed.
The sermon this time was "Persistent Faith", with Luke 18:1-8 as reference text. God’s word by His Servant, Pastor Isaac Olori, was clear and concise. One of the striking points during this sermon was that God searches for persistent faith in His children, therefore, if we would survive in our faith we should be persistent. He stressed that prayer must be accompanied by persistent faith.
Addressing “Die by Fire” prayers, he said, as Christians, our enemy is the Devil (1 Peter 5:8) and not our fellow human beings. Even though we understand that human beings can be agents of the devil, it is wrong doctrine to pray that any human being should die because they are only agents. Their death would not stop the work of the devil, who would only look for another agent to inhabit.
The widow, from our reference text, was faced with a difficult situation - her adversaries on one hand and the unkind judge on the other, but she did not deter. She chose to handle her situation by developing persistent faith, backed up with consistent prayer. She also handled her situation by developing a bold heart, refusing to be intimidated either by the nature of the judge nor her other adversaries. Finally, she was steadfast (1 Peter 5:9).
The sermon also brought to the fore the strategy of the enemy to use several challenges like bitterness/malice/anger, wrong doctrine via false churches and physical, to get us weary concerning the things of God. We must bear in mind that as Christians, our life is a battle and we must not take prayer, bible study, discipleship and other spiritual activities casually, lest we fall prey to the devil. It is pertinent that we know that the enemy tries to put fear in our heart in order to intimidate us, but we must be bold and sound in our mind, believing God's word, to be able to confront him. The force of persistent faith and importunate prayer will stop every adamant situation and it takes a man who is steadfast in his faith to resist the devil.
We must consciously put away every form of fear and worry, because God who is our judge is kind, loving, forgiving, longsuffering and will avenge our case even though HE bears long with us.However, to qualify for HIS intervention in your situation you must be HIS own elect (Ephesians 1:4, 1 Peter 2:10) and cry to Him day and night being persistent in following Him.
