Wike Will Be President Some Day -Cleric …Church To Open New Satellite Parish
The Senior Prophet and General Overseer of Dynamic Flame of Fire and Miracle Ministries in Woji Community, Port Harcourt, Prophet U. O. Miracle, says the Governor of Rivers State, Chief Nyesom Wike will some day be the President of Nigeria. This is even as the church has set machinery in motion to open its new mega satellite parish in Rumuodomaya Community in Obio/Akpor Local Government Area, slated for Sunday, September 4, 2022.
Prophet Miracle, who gave the indication while preaching the sermon during Sunday’s service in Port Harcourt, centered on, ‘You Are A New Creature’, said Wike will surely rule Nigeria as President in future, going by his good works, boldness and doggedness, and confidently told the congregation to mark his words.
He further noted that he loves Governor Wike for his boldness and penchant to speak the truth, and expressed displeasure over former Minister of Transportation, Chibuike Amaechi for apparently playing into the hands of Hausa/Fulani, who allegedly deceived him that they were going to support and endorse him to be President of the country.
Prophet Miracle harped on the need for leaders to carry along their people while in office. He gave the admonition against the backdrop of what befell Amaechi, who he said apparently forgot his Rivers people while he was Minister, and regretted a situation where railway lines that were serving his people had been dismantled.
The man of God also recalled that Amaechi equally fought and worked against his brother, Goodluck Jonathan, who lost the 2015 presidential election toPresident Muhammedu Buhari. He lamented the fact that Northerners and others are today enjoying modern rail transportation while Amaechi’s people are deprived.
To buttress his point that leaders should always carry along their people while in office, Prophet Miracle cited the case of Buhari, who positioned his Hausa/Fulani people in virtually all critical sectors of the economy.
The man of God, who is well known for the miracles performed by his church, regretted that Vice President Yemi Osinbajo is doing nothing, even as a Pastor in the Redeemed Christian Church of God (RCCG), while Fulani herdsmen and Muslim bandits are killing Christians in the country.
Prophet Miracle, who anchored his message on sacrifice, stressed the need for sacrificial offerings by Christians, to actually open the doors of miracles and prosperity for them, and listed Noah, King Solomon and King of Edom in the Bible as people who provoked God’s quick response through their sacrificial gestures.
He said the opening of the church’s satellite parish on September 4, 2022 will be preceded by rallies, beginning from today at Rumuokoro and Rumuodomaya communities, and hinted that the church was poised to take Rumuodomaya by storm with earth-shaking miracles on Sunday, September 4.
In Dynamic Flame of Fire and Miracle Ministries, the lame walk, the sick are healed; the blind see; the afflicted are delivered, demons are destroyed; and the barren become pregnant.
