The General Overseer of the Mountain of Fire and Miracles Ministries (MFM) Worldwide, Dr. Daniel Kolawole Olukoya, has sounded a strong warning for 2025, describing it as a year of "strange battles" where intense prayer will be crucial for survival and success.
Speaking during the Church's annual crossover service at the MFM Prayer City, Olukoya emphasized that the events of 2024 will flow directly into 2025, creating a spiritually charged atmosphere where prayerlessness could lead to dire consequences.
A Year of Strange Battles
Olukoya painted a vivid picture of the spiritual challenges ahead, stating, "The dark stars will fight to eliminate the shining stars; the tail will want to fight the head; the thief will be fighting the owner; those uncircumcised will like to kill the circumcised." He cautioned that the year would witness power struggles where the spiritually unprepared could easily become casualties.
Describing 2025 as a year of "restoration and deliverance," Olukoya said it holds promise for those who remain vigilant in prayer but warned against emerging infirmities and disgrace for those living false lives.
Moral and Spiritual Warnings
The cleric also addressed moral pitfalls, particularly warning married men against infidelity with "strange women." He urged Christians to embrace forgiveness, stressing that unresolved grudges could hinder spiritual progress.
Quoting Acts 1:8, Olukoya emphasized the need for "divine power" to navigate the spiritual and physical challenges of the year. "You need power. Jesus told His disciples, 'You shall receive power.' Children of God need power to see divine opportunities."
The Importance of Targeted Prayers
Olukoya highlighted the importance of focused and intentional prayers, citing David's victory over Goliath as an example of spiritual triumph over physical strength. He urged Christians to adopt "violent prayers" as their weapon against demonic forces, emphasizing that "the only language demons understand is violent prayers."
Using scriptures from Hosea 4:12, Psalm 119:18, Luke 24:30-31, and 2 Kings 6:8-17, Olukoya lamented the consequences of ignorance and fear, calling them barriers to divine elevation and success.

Announcing the Ministry's motto for 2025, Olukoya declared it as "2025: My Year of Power and Undeniable Victory," anchored on scriptures from Acts 1:8, Psalm 108:13, Luke 10:19, and Romans 8:37.
The crossover service, which began with musical concerts at 4:00 PM on December 31, 2024, concluded at 5:10 AM on January 1, 2025, with a powerful Manna Water Service.
Dr. Olukoya's message served as both a prophetic warning and a spiritual roadmap for Christians, urging them to embrace prayer, spiritual empowerment, and moral integrity in the year ahead.
