…Warns Against Rebellion

‘BOSUN OLUWABUSAYOMI

The General Overseer of the Mountain of Fire and Miracles Ministries (MFM) Worldwide, Dr. Daniel Kolawole Olukoya, on Sunday, ordained 5,000 men and women as pastors of the Ministry, with a charge to be dedicated to their call and shun rebellion.

The ceremony was the climax of a four-day 2025 Global Ministers Conference, tagged, ‘The Message, the Messenger and the Power’.

Addressing the ordinands, gathered from across the world, before the Sunday Service at the Prayer City, along the Lagos-Ibadan Expressway, Olukoya described rebellion as a killer, adding that it is unfortunate that people rebel.

“Any rebellion will have supporters, who cheer them on. They will be giving them money to cheer them on, so that they can misbehave,” the respectable clergy said, citing the case of rebellious Absalom in the Bible, who died in war front, as a biblical example.

According to him, there are many people on the internet, who call themselves general overseers, papas, general superintendents, overseers, among others, and asserted that, “They can call themselves anything but no problem; time will tell, when we shall be sifting the weeds from the chaffs.

“You are ordained today; whose anointing are you carrying; is it oil of God or of man? If it is men’s, you better back out now. It is not too late, you can still backout now. The battle shall prove them; the future will tell who the true pastors are. The anointed does not die useless death.

“Others may be washed away like dustbin; others may be wasted suddenly but not the anointed. The first rule in the school of the anointed is that you must be recommended by God. Men may call you, but they cannot anoint you. Satan may call you but cannot anoint you; the devil can call you but he cannot anoint you. We can call you, but we cannot anoint you. You can call yourself, but you cannot anoint yourself. Only God can call and ordain you.”

Olukoya emphasised that a fellow human being can recommend someone, because he/she does not see the person’s inner mind but God does and he warned the newly ordained pastors to be careful of their conduct within and outside the Church.

“You must not oppress the sheep. You must be diligent and busy, working for God. No human being can ordain you, only God can do. Beginning from today, you shall not be the same person again,” the notable deliverance general overseer charged the new pastors.
