Dr. D.K. Olukoya
It was a splendid Sunday at the Mountain of Fire and Miracles Ministries, Ota Mega Region, as the General Overseer of the MFM Worldwide, Dr. Daniel Kolawole Olukoya, dedicated six of the regions in the Sango/Ota axis, Ogun State.
The event was graced by the traditional rulers of the town, the Olota of Ota, Professor Adeyemi Obalanlege; the Onilogbo of Ilogbo, Oba Ojugbele, while the founder and Presiding Bishop of the Faith Tabernacle, Dr. David Oyedepo, was ably represented by a senior pastor in the ministry, among other dignitaries from across the country.
As early as 7am, Olukoya and his entourage of senior pastors at the axis stormed the South West Region 19, Ijoko, in Sango axis, where he did the dedication of the first region.
Members of the Church, neighbours and friends of the MFM trooped out en masse to witness the event. Pastor Joshua Ajose took charge of the programme.
From Sango, the team moved to the Tent Makers Pastoral Ministry, Region 10, Owode- with a large crowd of worshippers and neighbours, who thronged the arena, to listen and catch a glimpse of the General Overseer of MFM Worldwide.
South West Region 93, Iyana-Ilogbo was the third region that followed and there, the Regional Overseer built a hall alongside the auditorium and the motley of MFM adherents, fans and friends of the Ministry were almost uncontrollable on sighting Dr. Olukoya, as they peeped through the windows, and all available spaces to catch a glimpse of their spiritual father.
Another Tent Makers Pastoral Ministry, Region 30, Sango-Ota, was the next port of call. It is imperative to note that this region was built single-handedly by 76-year-old Pastor (Mrs.) Janet Oluwadaunsi, the Regional Overseer, popularly called ‘Mama’.
The Regional Overseer of South West 22, Iyesi-Ota, Pastor Moses Adekunle and his wife, drew a large array of Senior Regional Overseers, Regional Overseers, Overseers, pastors, friends, neighbours and well-wishers from near and far, to host Dr. Olukoya and his entourage next and was second to the last region to be dedicated.
In his sermon at the region, the General Overseer said that one may not require the help of a very important personality to attain the great height destined for one by God. He cited the example of David, who knew no one but God took him to the throne, from slavery. “Nothing good comes easy,” Olukoya said, adding that God can plant a servant in a place to promote one to the throne.
The final port of call and which drew the largest crowd, including three Assistant General Overseers, Principal Senior Assistant Overseers, other Senior Regional Overseers, Overseers, pastors from across the ministry, was the Mega Regional Headquarters, where the Senior Regional Overseer, Pastor Wale Adeolumuyiwa, holds sway. It was already midday, by the time the General Overseer and his entourage arrived here and he, as usual, went straight to dedicate the expansive auditorium, as worshippers within and outside the two-floor auditorium, went ecstatic, with a frenzy. This, of course, was the pattern in all the other regions earlier dedicated.
In his sermon, themed: ‘My Case is Different,’ Olukoya charged that one’s case has to be different from the others, to be able to make a difference in life. He said that some powers are happy when they see one suffering and in bondage but that once God appears at one’s battle, the battle is over. According to him, before God appears on one’s battlefield, the enemy may be doing as he likes and in such circumstances, many people have been boxed into a corner by the enemy; many are struggling with the strugglers; many are passing through hard times and some people’s fertile grounds had been turned infertile grounds, while the enemies are congratulating themselves over some people, for exploiting their labour.
Olukoya blessed the faith materials of the worshippers in all six regions and prayed for the growth and God’s protection of everyone present. Pastor Adeolumuyiwa, recalled that Dr. Olukoya was in the region last on 27th June 2010, when he first launched the Ota Regional Headquarters, as the sixth region of the MFM. He said that he (Adeolumuyiwa) assumed office in the region in June 2016 and again, in June 2022, the new auditorium of the region was dedicated by the same Dr. Olukoya.
