Lagos — The General Overseer of the Mountain of Fire and Miracles (MFM) worldwide, Dr. Daniel Kolawole Olukoya has revealed the "secret" behind the fire prayer pattern of the church, saying God has a covenant of deliverance with the MFM.
Olukoya, in his thanksgiving sermon to round-off the five-day celebrations marking the church's third international convention/20th anniversary /annual anointing programme on Sunday, said the covenant of deliverance God has with the MFM is the reason for the church's around-the-clock deliverance prayers and activities.
He told a congregation which included the Lagos State Deputy Governor, Princess Sarah Sosan, Lagos First Lady Abimbola Fashola, Mrs. Beatrice Orubebe (wife of the Niger/Delta Minister), UNILAG Vice Chancellor, Professor Tolu Odugbemi, Mr. Tunde Williams (son of the slain PDP stalwart, Engineer Funso Williams), among others at the service held at the MFM Prayer City, that when the MFM started 20 years ago, some people criticised its prayers as too hot, weird, unpalatable, unfriendly, unheard-of, etc.
"To the glory of God, all the people criticising, condemning us then are now praying the same prayers and one of the our prayer books, the Prayer Rain, has sold millions of copies and has blessed many around the world. I have seen Prayer Rain with Muslims and members of every other religions," the MFM General Overseer said.
According to him, "the world is a deep place and the devil is 'wickedly wicked and badly bad," warning that the children of God needed to gird their loins and reject the antics of the devil.
