The same dynamism, strong anointing and spellbinding unction with which he preaches the word in these conferences are captured in audio and video message tapes. You will never be the same after watching or listening to any of his messages. Yes, they are explosive, power-packed and exciting.

Background

In 1972, the Lord miraculously saved and  delivered him during a Crusade. And almost immediately, he felt the call of God on his life. This led to his enrolment at New Covenant Bible Institute in Benin City, Nigeria.

While in College, the Lord showed him a vision of himself, preaching to countless thousands of people with great power and authority, and he heard the lord say "Take my Word to the world".

In a bid to actualize this God-given mandate, one of the fastest growing Churches in Nigeria with a congregation of over 20,000 souls in a single worship service was established. Our present worship facility  can sit over 30,000 souls.

In his 30 years in the ministry, he has seen the lame walk, the blind see, the hopeless receive hope, and people set free from all manner of bondages through the power of the Holy Ghost.

He has ministered in various International/local Conferences and Seminars. He has also ministered in Crusades, preaching the message of Salvation, Deliverance, Revival, Hope and Healing to countless thousands across the world. This ministration has taken him to well over 45 countries around the world and he has witnessed the power of God being demonstrated with signs, wonders and outstanding miracles to the glory of God Almighty.

In furtherance of God's call on his life, God gave him a mandate to establish a television ministry. Like the biblical injunction, 'Ye shall receive power after the Holy Ghost is come upon you, and you shall be witnesses unto me both in Jerusalem, and all Judea, and in Samaria and unto the uttermost part of the earth". --Acts 1:8., the vision of the Hour of Deliverance TV program, which is an arm of the African Broadcasting Network (ABN), started in 1980 as a local TV program. It has, over the years, grown to become an avenue through which the vision of taking God's Word to the world is being actualized.

Word Of Life Bible Church, (The International Gospel Centre) it hosts about 35,000 people  per worship service.

Ten years later, God put a burden in his heart to reach Europe with the gospel, through the Television ministry. Today, by the grace of God,  Hour of Deliverance TV program is being aired in Europe by the God Christian Channel. This programme started from the first week of October 1999. This TV station has a potential viewing audience of about 64 million people across Europe and parts of Africa. We are in the process of airing Hour of Deliverance in other reputable TV stations in Europe and America.

Also, in fulfilling the vision of taking his word to the world, Power Encounter International, an outreach teaching/ preaching ministry, was born in year 2000. It has conducted Power Encounter conferences in Atlanta, (USA) and  Amsterdam (the Netherlands). It will also reach out to  Italy by October, 2002.

We are today living in the last days, and the millennium that will probably usher in the coming of the King of kings and the Lord of lords. "The Harvest truly is plenteous, but the labourers are few" - Matt.9: 37. The need for us to intensify our drive for souls and reaching the unreached for Christ cannot be over-emphasized.

Presently we are spending close to a £100,000 (British) annually on production, editing, mailing and airing of our TV programs in Europe and Africa. Additionally, we run expenses on Conferences, Crusades, and other Christian ventures as the Holy Spirit directs.

There is no doubt that reaching million of people in these last days via telecast is capital intensive. But the attendant benefit of winning souls into the Kingdom far out weighs the cost because the wealth of this world put together cannot be compared to the worth of one soul.

"What shall it profit a man, if he gains the whole world and suffer a loss of his soul? Or what shall a man give in exchange for his soul?" - Matt. 16:26. The Bible also says, "Where there is no vision, the people perish " - Proverb. 29:8a. It is expedient to quickly add here also that where there are no people, the vision dies or is delayed.

The vision is great, the harvest is much and the continents of Europe and Africa are ripe. We believe you can become a vision helper today, by being an Eagle Partner so that God can use you to sustain the Hour of Deliverance TV programmes and our outreach conferences / Seminars.
