Bonnke, Kolenda Witness Signs and Wonders in Nigeria
Christ for All Nations launched a Great Gospel Campaign in Ughelli, Nigeria in Delta State this week as Reinhard Bonnke and Daniel Kolenda continue laboring to bring in the harvest.
“The people are full of faith and expectation. They press in around us; they rush the vehicles as we drive down the street just to touch them in hopes that they will receive their miracle from the Lord,” Kolenda wrote in an update to partners. “Their faith is epic! It reminds me of the woman with the issue of blood pressing through the crowd or blind Bartimaeus calling out on the roadside.”
The Lord met the Ughelli people where their faith was. Kolenda reports Jesus saved and healed countless people on the first night of the campaign, including a young man whose broken leg was healed so thoroughly that he could run and jump.
On the second night, Kolenda preached about repentance and restitution. Although it wasn’t a “feel-good” message, he says the people want to hear the truth and he has a responsibility before God to “say it like it is.” After the message, the Lord confirmed His Word with signs and wonders.
A man who suffered with severe asthma for 45 years said he physically felt something coming out of his chest during the prayer for the sick and since then, his breathing has been perfectly normal.
A woman testified that she brought her daughter—a small child—to the meeting because she was dying of the same illness that took her son’s life several months ago. But during the prayer, the daughter was suddenly healed, every symptom vanished and she is now totally well.
An elderly man received a double miracle: the partial blindness he had suffered with for six years suddenly vanished along with a severe ulcer that had plagued him for over 50 years.
“These are but a small sampling of the many wonderful things that Jesus has done here already and I am sure that the best is yet to come in Jesus’ name,” Kolenda says.
