Lord’s Chosen Charismatic Revival Ministry has concluded arrangements for the celebration of its 20th Anniversary, even as the General Overseer of the church, the iconic international Evangelizer, Pastor Lazarus Muoka, attributed the church’s successes to God.
These disclosures were made during a press conference at the church’s International Headquarters at Ijesha, Lagos State on Friday, December 9, 2022.
Established December 24th, 2002, the message of the Lord’s Chosen Ministry has taken the world by the storm, spreading across the entire continents of the world like wildfire, with its 10 billion soul mandate intact.
The anniversary celebration will take place on Sunday, 18th of December, 2022, at Ijesha, Lagos.
Speaking at the event, Pastor Muoka maintained that whatever the church has become in the last 20 years is based on the grace and power of God. “The Lord’s Chosen was established on 24th December, 2002 according to the guidance of the Holy Spirit. And today, by the grace and power of God the Church has expanded to Asia, Europe, Americas, and all the continents of the world.
“Through the ministry there has been testimonies upon testimonies. The church has touched armed robbers, lesbians, prostitutes, kidnappers, and made them born-again. If not this ministry, I don’t know what this nation and the entire world would be, sicknesses and diseases are healed, many people have testified of unimaginable miracles and how God delivered them in the Lord’s Chosen,” he said.
Pastor Muoka narrated how a 55 years old man and his 40 years old wife spoke for the first time during Lord’s Chosen crusade in Osun State, which he also attributed to the great hand of God. “We were in Osun State last week Sunday, something happened, when we said those who cannot see begin to see, begin to hear, a man of 55 years was deaf and dumb since he was born, and he began to speak and began to hear; and before you noticed it a woman came with a uniform, the uniform the man was wearing, this is the wife, 40 years deaf and dumb, and two of them instantly spoke and heard. And another one 12 years and 25 years, another one twins they have not spoken for two years, they started speaking there. So why, I use this ministry to prove that the power of God is real, everywhere, every place; we have not gone to anywhere and God disappointed us, we have gone there and prevail by the grace of God, and proved to people that God is real and he is real.”
Muoka said that some people enjoy peace in the land not knowing how it came about, saying that churches like the Lord’s Chosen are in constant prayers for the nation and the world. A good instance is the Covid-19 pandemic when the scientists predicted that Africa would be a death field but this prediction was averted due to the intercessory prayers of the chosen church and other anointed churches. He said “The time of corona virus, it is something that is so pronounced and sometimes people don’t know the source of what they are enjoying, they just wake up enjoying things. They don’t know how these things come about. Africa was said to have the greatest effect of corona virus, what happened? We heard the news, when we heard the news, I said now we are going to prove whether we are serving God or not, and it came to pass.”
The Lord’s Chosen Church which started in a small hut on a street at Ilasa, Lagos has blossomed to occupy hectares of land at Ijesha, serving as its international headquarters. The church was also given a 10 billion soul mandate which was an assignment by God to win 10 billion souls for Him.
Pastor Muoka stated that even though the population of the world is not as high as 10billion, the mandate encapsulates generations yet unborn, saying that the mandate is from God and nothing would stop it.
“Because of the wonderful work the lord is doing through his anointed servant, rolling away diseases and sicknesses; hospitals began to lose patients, and persecution came from different quarters,” Muoka stated.
Speaking on security and 2023 elections Muoka disclosed that the business of the church is soul winning, saying that every other thing is distraction, “It is left to members, God’s kingdom and politics do not co-exist. I will not encourage any of my members to go into politics but I will not stop anybody from doing so.
“In life, everybody has his role to play. We are playing our role as Christians and we are doing it so effectively, it is prayer that is helping the nation. On the election too, our role is to pray. We need unity and progress in our nation,” Muoka said.
Pastor Muoka disclosed that it has not been all rosy; he admitted that there have been moments of great challenges and tribulations, but God made it possible for the church to come out of them victorious. “Wherever there is good thing the devil will always go there. When those things happened we did not know God used them to advertise us. God has taken care of the challenges.
“Today we are celebrating two decades of God’s faithfulness, we give Him all the glory, the one who established us in the realm of the spirit. Many said it will not last, little did they know that it was not the project of man, all those that gave false prophets against us failed,” Pastor Muoka stated.
