Did you know, the song, "It Is Well With My Soul" was written by a successful Christian lawyer Heratio Spafford. His only son died at age four in 1871. In 1872, the great Chicago fire wiped out his vast estate, made from a successful legal career. In 1873 he sent his wife and four  daughters over to Europe on a summer trip on the ill fated SS Ville du Havre. Since he had a lot of work to do, he planned to follow them later. The Ship sank and he lost his four daughters with the wife being the only survivor.  She sent him a famous telegram which simply read, "SAVED ALONE......" On his return home, his law firm was burned down and the insurance company refused to pay him.

General Overseer, Mountain of Fire and Miracles Ministries, Dr Daniel Olukoya, tells SIMON UTEBOR and ALEXANDER OKERE about his humble beginning. You recently spoke about how God gave you the vision to start Mountain of Fire Miracles Ministries in a one-bedroomed apartment. What was your initial reaction to such a dream considering your state at that time? Truly, the vision came precisely in 1977, when I was a student in the University of Lagos. My reaction to the dream was one of surprise, joy and acceptance. That was because, though an undergraduate, I had already developed an intimate relationship with God and was deeply involved in His work. In most cases, God does not give a complete picture when He calls a man.  He provides the details of His assignment in easily absorbable stages.  God, who sees the end from the beginning, knows that releasing the entire picture may seem illogical and scary to the new insider. He takes you on the journey step by step in small ‘doses’,

®She wasn't your wife, you had sex with her, she became pregnant, you made her abort. Illegal relationship + murder, committed by you alone and you are boasting ..... "I've conquered that babe"... #Repent . ®He is not your husband, you are having/had sex with him, collecting money from him and you think you are a sharp girl. You are an armed robber, robbing people with your body. #Repent ®She's not properly dressed, instead of you to preach to her, you are shouting "WOW!!! you look sexy.... Brother u are part of the problem. #Repent . ®A preacher said "if you know what I know, you'll laugh less and cry more" does that ring a bell in our head? Do we have to see before we believe? #Repent ® I want to have money, I want to marry a beautiful wife, I want to marry a handsome guy, I want to buy a nice car, I want to build a big house, is that all we think about? We will all die & leave all these. Vanity. #Repent

In this interview, the septuagenarian speaks about the music group, family and other things Let me start by saying it is Christ that leads the choir, not me. It is just a privilege that I am the leader. Good Women Choir started way back with the Christ Apostolic Church, Ibadan and prior to 1975, they were known as the Good Women Association which was a gathering of women in the church. If your spouse is a member of CAC, automatically, you are a member of the association as a woman. Every year, we hold conventions in Lagos, Kano, Kaduna and other places. I was an Anglican before I married my husband who is a member of the CAC. The problem we had then was that when we arrived in any town, it was always difficult to get a c
