Ovim, Ahaba and Eluama caught fire during the just concluded crusade held in Isuikwuato at Let There Be Light Crusades by The Sanctuary Christian Ministeries And The Shogna Foundation International.
The people of Isuikwuato came out in their numbers to witness the light that blazed in the darkness to the glory of God.
“To God be the glory, great things He has done!” – Isaiah 9:4-7
I returned home with dust on my feet and a holy fire raging in my spirit.
For three unbroken days, Isuikwuato did not sleep. Abia State did not sleep. Because heaven came down and refused to leave quietly.
And today, with a trembling heart and a loud voice, I declare to you:
“THERE IS LIGHT IN ISUIKWUATO! THERE IS LIGHT IN ABIA STATE! A LIGHT THAT BLAZES IN THE DARKNESS, AND THE DARKNESS HAS NOT OVERCOME IT!
Day 1: Ovim Wept, and Heaven Answered
The first night, the ground of Ovim became an altar.
Families arrived bowed under burdens. Hearts arrived parched with longing. The young and the old came pressing in for an encounter with the Living God.
But the moment the Name of Jesus was exalted, the heavens shifted.
The atmosphere became electric with glory. Lives were jolted by divine touch. Captives were liberated.
I watched despair dissolve into hope. I heard silence shatter into worship: “Jesus, thank You.”
That night, souls sprinted into the Kingdom – not by eloquence, but because the Light of the World walked bodily among us.
Day 2: Ahaba-Imenyi Caught the Fire
In Ahaba-Imenyi, chains were broken like dry twigs.
Yokes that had followed bloodlines for generations were destroyed. Strongholds crumbled. Homes on the brink of collapse were bathed in fresh mercy.
One young man fell to his knees in the dust and cried out: “Lord, I’m weary of running. Take me.”
That night, heaven inscribed his name in the Book of Life with an eternal pen.
This is the manifestation of Christ, the Light of Men and the Life of Men. He shatters the yoke. He lifts the burden. He consumes every work of darkness with holy fire. Isaiah 9:4-5
Day 3: Eluama – The Glory of the Lord Was Here
By Eluama, the fire had become a wildlife.
It was no longer a crusade. It became a sweeping revival.
Tears like rain. Shouts like thunder. Deliverance. Restoration.
God descended and laid His hands upon lives. He touched hearts that no surgeon could reach. He breathed purpose into weary destinies.
Testimonies are still flooding in like fountains.
“The Lord has visited me.”
“My life will never be the same.”
“I have hope again.”
Because God did not merely speak to us. He touched us.
The Hands That Carried the Fire

may God bless you all and continue to preserve your ways. In Jesus’ Name. Amen.
You did not merely record history; you helped write it.
A Prophetic Word Over Our Land
Hear me, Church.
Thus says the Lord.
*“And God said, Let there be light: and there was light. And God divided the light from the darkness.”*- Genesis 1:3-4
By that same irrevocable decree, I speak over Isuikwuato, over Abia, over every home listening to me now:
LIGHT AND DARKNESS SHALL NEVER MEET AGAIN! – Jeremiah 5:22
In Jesus’ Mighty Name, I decree total separation and destruction of anything that represents darkness in our lives, in the lives of our children, and in our local communities. Amen.
*JESUS REIGNS!* *JESUS REIGNS!!* *JESUS REIGNS SUPREME OVER ALL THINGS!!!* Rev11v15.
Go and Rejoice
Our God did not neglect the body while healing the soul. The children of the LORD, God Most High were blessed with Spiritual Gifts of His Word and with compassionate care gifts for the bodies, to nourish their souls and gladden their hearts. He fed you. He clothed you. He comforted you.
Now, go forth!
“The wilderness and the solitary place shall be glad… and the desert shall rejoice and blossom as the rose… Sorrow and sighing shall flee away.” – Isaiah 35:1, 10
No more tears.
No more mourning.
“THE LIGHT HAS COME. AND IT SHALL NEVER BE EXTINGUISHED.”
To God alone be all the glory, dominion, and majesty, forever and ever. Amen.
