Pastor Lazarus Muoka.
By Odinaka Uruakpa
The Lords Chosen Charismatic Revival Movement (TLCCRM) grounds was an abode of anticipation and excitement recently when worshipers testified the goodness of God as they were relieved of ailments and adverse situations after Pastor Lazarus Muoka, the General Overseer commended their cases to God in prayer.
The favoured congregants made the declaration during the two-day international programme of the church, tagged, “From sorrow to joy, held at the Revival Ground of the church’s Corporate International Headquarters, Chosen Estate, Amuwo Odofin Oshodi/Apapa Expressway, Lagos, after the man of God assured them of miraculous transformation in store for them.
While delivering his message, Muoka said many people in the scriptures and in the present day have gone through so many sorrows in life because of the evil manipulations the devil, the enemy had woven against them.
Said he: “Devil, the enemy of man and enemy of God has put so many people into sorrow. Some have sorrowed to death because they don’t have anybody to help them out, and they died in that condition because of not knowing the source of deliverance”.
The GO said all the people who went to God seeking His favour in the Bible, owing to the difficulties they faced, as recorded in scripture, eventually got solutions to their problems because they sought help from the Lord, the merciful and powerful master.
Stated he: “Today, you are here to meet with God, and you come seeking solutions in His Presence, that problem you have brought here to Him will be over. As I pray for you, your problem will be over because I stand here by the authority in the name of Jesus. I speak like my father. My father came from Heaven to Earth, and as I speak, all that are afflicted shall be healed”.
He however said that without having a true knowledge of God, one could not do anything nor have any idea where to go for help regarding the problems they face, and so they continue to wallow in pains and troubles to the end of their life.
Said he: “All those that have sorrowed to death end up that way because they don’t know God. Hosea 4:6 states ‘my people perish out of lack of knowledge’. If we believe in God, and have and are aware of our need for Him, He will come through for us and deliver us from all that bring sorrow into our life”.
The GO urged the people never to cease coming into God’s presence, seek His face, and praying for His love to dwell with them.
Said he: “The steadfast love of the Lord never ceases. His love never comes to an end. His faithfulness never comes to an end. They are new every morning. So if we believe that, we will never cease coming into God’s presence, seeking His face, and praying for His love to dwell in our lives at all times”.
Highlights of the crusade comprised ministration in songs by the various choirs in the church, restoration of speech and hearing to quite a number of individuals, including a 25 year old deaf and dumb person, as well as mental restoration to a man who had suffered from insanity for 14 years.
