Most people know that Omega Fire Ministries was founded
Pulse Religion is here to correct that by offering some more information about the ministry, which is easily one of the fastest growing churches in Nigeria.
Here are five things you need to know about this particular church.
Origin Story
The church began in 2004 after the founder got the vision on June 20, 1994.
In it, he saw a globe with Acts 10:38 written on it handed to him. This verse says, “How God anointed Jesus of Nazareth with the Holy Ghost and with power: who went about doing good and healing all that were oppressed of the devil, for God was with Him.”
He understood this as his mandate from God and six years later, he opened his church.
The name, Omega Fire Ministries, came from a message from God: “Put an end to affliction; I AM SENDING YOU WITH AN OMEGA ANOINTING…”
Beliefs
The mission is “To wipe out tears, restore people to their destinies by the revelation of the word, manifestation of power and reality of the Holy Spirit, put an end to affliction.”
The church “believes in judgment on the wicked. We believe oppressions and demonic manipulations are real.”
However, the ministry believes that “all power belongs to God and that the enemy has no scriptural right to manipulate the destinies of believers.”
