CHURCHES FLOODED WITH CONVERTS! – Afikpo, Nigeria – DAY 5

October 18th, 2009

A group of pastors came to our lodge this afternoon to bring us the report that their churches were flooded with new converts this morning! This is a wonderful indication that the seed of the Gospel has fallen on good soil here in Afikpo and will continue to produce fruit that will remain long after we have gone.

Tonight the crowd increased again to 225,000. Many thousands were born again and after the prayer for salvation, we prayed for the sick…

HOLY SPIRIT EXPLOSION! – Afikpo, Nigeria – DAY 4

October 17th, 2009

What a thrilling day we had today in Afikpo, Nigeria! It started this morning with the Fire Conference where 25,000 delegates gathered for the final meetings and then the moment of impartation. The Holy Spirit fell in might power on the hungry crowd. I went down and laid hands on about 600 pastors and sent them out into the crowd to lay hands on the people. “Freely you have received, freely give.” There was an explosion of miracles. Many people were healed as the pastors witnessed how the Lord used them in the miraculous for the very first time.

Tonight the intensity continued. The barrels were full of witchcraft items to be burned. Also some people brought bags full of stolen items, which we handed over to the police. After the Gospel message we prayed for the massive crowd of 180,000 people to be filled with the Holy Spirit. The crowd erupted in new tongues and I could see how the power of God was touching thousands all across the field.

FROM DARKNESS TO LIGHT – Afikpo, Nigeria – DAY 3

October 16th, 2009

1 comment

160,000 people attended tonight’s meeting on the rolling hillside crusade ground here in Afikpo, Nigeria. In five days of meetings we have an opportunity to preach the full-Gospel, including some of the less popular topics. Tonight I emphasized the themes of restitution and repentance: “Let him who stole steal no more.” I can truly say that the people responded with Joy, turning from darkness to light and from the power of Satan to God.

Here are some of the miracles that Jesus did tonight…

Raw Power – Afikpo, Nigeria Day 2

October 15th, 2009

2 comments

Our crusade director leaned over to me tonight and said, “This is ‘real’ Africa.” He told me that one African evangelist came here recently but turned around and left when he saw the living conditions. Afikpo is as rugged and wild as it comes. Everything is raw and organic here – including the incredible power of God that we demonstrate.

Tonight the crowd doubled with over 125,000 in attendance…and this is only the second night! I preached a clear Gospel message and then invited the people to call upon the only name given under Heaven whereby men might be saved…the name of Jesus! In this idolatrous land we saw how many people brought their idols, charms and witchcraft fetishes to be burned just like in the days of Paul (Acts 19:19). By the thousands they surrendered their lives to Jesus tonight. I am sure that all of heaven has taken notice of what is happening in Afikpo.

"Tonight we hit the serpent on the head"

“Tonight we hit that serpent on the head,” said Evangelist Reinhard Bonnke as we drove off the crusade field after tonight’s meeting – the first of five. Afikpo is a city steeped in witchcraft and ancient superstitions. The people have lived in fear and bondage to demonic principalities that have gone unchallenged for generations, but tonight, they were confronted by a force more powerful than any curse – the power of the Gospel.

After preaching a powerful evangelistic message on the Blood of Jesus, Evangelist Bonnke prayed, calling out the names of the familiar curses and breaking them one by one in the name of Jesus. The results were glorious — thousands of salvations, dramatic deliverances and remarkable healings…like the one pictured below of a woman blind for 4 years who received perfect sight! Praise the Lord!

The Afikpo Curse

October 13th, 2009

3 comments

Tonight at the pastor’s dinner, the chairman of the central working committee for the crusade gave a powerful and revealing address. We learned a lot about where we will be ministering over the next week. For instance, he told us that a top local Church leader was murdered recently by locals and cut into little pieces.

The idolaters and witchdoctors in the area are very aggressive and there seems to be a heavy yoke of oppression over this land. I am including a few excerpts from his speech that will give you a good idea of what we are up against here and provide some direction for your prayers.
