It was a night of wonders, deliverances and miracles on Sunday, as the train of the Lagos City-wide Crusade organised by Deeper Christian Life Ministry (DCLM) in conjunction with the Christian Association of Nigeria (CAN) and the Pentecostal Fellowship of Nigeria(PFN), berthed at Oke-Afa, Ejigbo.
Thousands of people fell under the power of the Holy Spirit, as Pastor F,W. Kumuyi delivered his message which was centered on “Encounter with the Supernatural Wonders of God”.
The crusade, according to the organizers, is in the series of power-packed ministrations of Pastor Kumuyi which has taken him to many states, geo-political zones of the country and outside the shores of Nigeria in the recent times.
The next on the line would be held on Tuesday, September 16 at Ajegunle.
It is recalled that in a press briefing heralding the crusade, Pastor Joseph Fasanmi, moderator, Deeper Christian Life Ministry (DCLM) Lagos State, said the crusade which would cover 17 local government areas of the state, as unprecedented, noted that the high rate of robbery, cultism, drug abuse and corruption, among other ills, could have totally destroyed the state, if it were not for God’s grace.
He said it was necessitated not only by the alarming rate of crime, but also the need to usher people into the kingdom of God.
He said: “The leaders, themselves, are outcrops of a depressed environment, and cannot be expected to provide enduring solutions to the multifaceted challenges facing mankind and summed up in one word – sin.
“We make bold to state that it is only a completely changed heart of man by God through the gospel that can bring about a fundamental and unadulterated transformation in our broad landscape. All those that have conquered the basic challenges of development have done so because at one time or the other in their chequered history, they had embraced the commanding imperatives of the gospel.
“These crusades will, therefore, serve to expose and deal with the acute unrighteousness with the objective of receiving God’s forgiveness and mercy. The crusades will also prayerfully bring down the power of God with a view to ameliorating the rather punishing challenges many daily contend with.”
According to him, “It is equally in the bid to boldly complement the efforts of the state government and the cravings and yearnings of Gov. Ambode that these crusades will be taking place. Our firm conviction is that once the hearts of the general citizenry are made right, it will be easier for the government to prosecute its programmes fairly successfully.
“This explains why all Christians in Lagos are pulling their ranks together, at this time, to squarely defeat those primordial and anti-social factors which have held us down for so long. Our conviction is that as we pray and hold the crusades, real and enduring change will come. We have the firm assurance that Lagos will soon experience an atmosphere of calmness, true freedom and liberty as God confirms His word with signs and wonders.
