End time is near —Prophetess Alarape

Prophetess Mary Omolara Alarape, a native of Ile-Ife, Osun State, who refers to herself as the ‘gardener’ of Christ Mount Zion Bethel Healing Ministry, where Jesus Christ is the founder and General Overseer, speaks on her experience in the ministry and what recent global happenings signify.

 

Journey into the ministry

I started the work of God in 2006 in Lagos. Before then, I was a member of Christ Apostolic Church (CAC), Oke Igbala District Headquarters in Ketu. I served in the drama and welfare department in the church before God called me into full-time ministry. The journey of my prophetic calling started in 1996, when I went to Ido Ile prayer mountain to pray. It was there a cleric revealed to me that I had a calling to serve God. However, I didn’t start until 10 years later, when all my endeavours were not forthcoming; my business as a cement dealer went down the drain.

The main reason I didn’t want to embrace the calling at the time was because I had a serious spiritual attack in my dream, which led to my inability to read or write. I felt ashamed because I had modern school education then in Ile-Ife. I didn’t want people to mock me, because I discovered that before entering into ministry nowadays, one needs to be educated. However, in April 2006, God used Prophetess Adeniran, who informed me about a Bible school, which I could attend. I graduated from the Bible school in November 2008.

What challenges did you experience while at the Bible school?

My first challenge in the Bible College was when I was asked to read the Bible and I couldn’t. There were lots of challenges I encountered there, but God proved Himself as the One Who sent me. He gave me His full support, which helped me to receive favour from my lecturers in the college; they went the extra mile in teaching me. Through divine encounter, my brain received God’s healing touch during my first year in the Bible school and I excelled. I eventually graduated as the best student in evangelism and the overall best student. All these achievements were by the help of the Holy Spirit and divine direction.

What are some of your experiences in the ministry?

God has, through me, healed those suffering from various chronic diseases; raised the dead; those who are barren have received fruitfulness. God has been providing for all my needs; He has never allowed me to suffer since I started full time ministry. Even the church was built by divine intervention. I offer corporate social responsibility to various groups and communities around the church in Maba Town, Asese, Ibafo in Ogun State.

 

With your experience receiving the call, what is your advice to those who have found themselves in such position of evading the divine call?

My advice for those God has called is for them to stick strictly to what God has called them to do. He Who has called you will stay with you. Don’t be in a hurry, because the vision is yet for an appointed time. For me, I had to wait for five years, undergoing strict training from God and serving in the vineyard of God before the commencement of the church in Asese in May 2011.

 

With recent happenings in the world, do you also agree that the end time is near?

The events happening around the world right now is evidence that we need to be born again, because the end time is near.
