The Mountain of Fire and Miracles Ministries (MFM), is set to mark its 35th anniversary and 2024 annual convention in August, with series of spiritual activities lined up for the dual celebration.

This was disclosed by Pastor Kehinde Adegbolahan, Assistant General Overseer, Ministerial Schools and other clerics of the Church at a press conference, heralding the three-day event, with the theme, “Power from on high (Luke 24:49)”, holding from August 16 to 18 at the Prayer City, Kilometer 12, Lagos-Ibadan Expressway.

Adegbolahan said the Ministry believed that 35 years were a landmark worthy of celebration and rejoicing, to the glory of God, who had manifested Himself in the lives of MFM members and used the Ministry to bless so many other believers, who had been sharing outstanding testimonies to God’s kindness.

He said members of the MFM across the seven continents, those in the country, as well as all children of God, believers in Jesus Christ, the Son of the living God, were all expected at the event.

Said he: “A lot of preparations have gone into the entire Prayer City, to make it wear a new look and accommodate lager number of participants.

“We are using this opportunity to invite everyone to come and celebrate Jesus Christ with us, in consonance with the Biblical observation of Jacob in Genesis 28, verse 16: “Surely, God is in this place”.

Said he on the testaments of Christians, non-Christians, MFM members and non-members near and far: “For real, God has been faithful to the charge He gave to our father in the Lord, Dr. Olukoya, 35 years ago. We believe that this calls for celebration, in appreciation of God, and for Him to do more, going forward”.

The clerics assured participants lots of things had been put in place to ensure optimum security, crowd and traffic management.

Said they: “All apparatus, various groups have been put in place to ensure that there is no direct conduct of activities in the prayer city. The same thing goes to the issue of traffic management. By the special grace of God, all of these things are going to be properly aligned to ensure that there is no jam, there is no confusion, there is no incident to bring about any trouble for anybody.

“So everything is fully prepared towards the convention. And we are trusting God that everything goes smoothly”.

On activities lined up on the occasion, Pastor Clement Imoru, Deputy Chairman, Convention Planning Committee said, the first day, Thursday, August 16, marks the arrival and registration among other activities.

Said he: “On Friday, by the grace of God, there will be teachings on the theme for the convention. Various pastors will be coming to give lectures. There will be concerts which will be coming intermittently, as the teachings are going on. But on Saturday, we’ll have concerts of various kinds. When it comes to music, we are at the forefront.

“So, lots of music presentations, concerts and the rest. And then we have the youths as well as teenagers and the children coming to do presentations. And most important of it all, we’ll also have award ceremonies. Award ceremonies to appreciate religions, pastors who have put in their best this past 35 years to move the ministry forward.

On Sunday, we’ll have Thanksgiving, and also we’ll have Holy Communion in Toronto. So, that’s briefly what we can tell you about activities”.

On memorable events in the Ninistry, he said, “An sure if you are listening to most of our programmes, you can hear the testimonies that are coming from people of how the Lord has used this Ministry to bless the lives of people. We cannot count the things the Lord has done these past 35 years in touching the lives of people.

Added he: “The Lord has helped the Ministry to expand into the world, almost all parts of the world. And we are now talking about the guests that will be coming. We are expecting lots of people coming. It’s a public event. Members are coming, non-members too, as well as some notable persons in the society”.

The clerics emphasised that the event will witness undiluted teaching and preaching of the word of God and other activities that will help people move closer to God, adding that the programme, will impact the nation positively as intercessory prayers will be had on the occasion.
