The colourful Sunday service, which also coincided with the dedication of the General Overseer’s new baby Christened Greatness, recorded unprecedented worshipers drawn from various foreign countries such as America, Germany, Canada, Italy, United Kingdom, Austria and some Africa countries such as Gabon, Cameroun, Angola, Cot’DIvore, Equatorial Guinea, Chad, Democratic Republic of Congo and Kenya, among others.
Notably from Kenya was Pastor Lucy Natasha, who was the Special Guest Minister at the occasion.
In her sermon drawn from various books of the Bible, Pastor Natasha enjoined Christians to be fervent in prayer and in the worship of God in Spirit and in truth. Natasha, popularly known as the “Oracle of God”, described Prophet Fufeyin as a great man whom God has sent to save many souls from destruction.
Natasha, whose sermon was life-changing, admonished Christians, especially members of the Church, to always believe in Prophet Fufeyin whom, she further described, as a force to be reckoned with as an anointed God’s general in Christendom.

While buttressing her sermon from the Book of Isaiah Chapter 8 verse 18, the Kenyan reminded the congregation that the General Overseer is made for signs and wonders, adding that the church should always believe in the message of God, delivered through Prophet Fufeyin.
Eulogising the women for their steadfastness in propagating the word of God, the cleric maintained that they should be ready at all times to be called upon to preach the gospel. She insisted that it is not only men that are ordained to do the work of God, adding “My advice to the women is that they should always go on their knees to pray earnestly and thank God for what He is using the Prophet Fufeyin to do in Mercy Land.
According to her, the integrity of men and women is based on the association they keep, explaining that God loves persons who keep to His commandments and hold fast to it tenaciously, corroborating her admonition from the Book of Isaiah, Chapter 8 verse 18, that says, “Behold, I and the children whom God hath given me are for signs and wonders.”
Meanwhile, Prophet Fufeyin, in his remarks, told the congregation, of over 100, 000 from within and outside the country, about his humble background as a local filmmaker at Ojobo, his home town and later became a local wrestler in Burutu in Delta State.
“I have always been interested in film making, especially when Nollywood came on board. I did not hide my passion for Nollywood, hence I always invite some of the actors any time I am holding a special service such as this,” the youthful Ijaw-born cleric, whose ministrations have won many souls to the kingdom, remarked.
The prophet enjoined Nigerians, especially the underprivileged not to despair and cited his cradle as an example when he could hardly afford a decent living.
According to him, he was able to pull through the courtesy of strength drawn from encouragement from wife and uncle. “Above all, my uncle who was a Deputy Governor in Bayelsa State and also my wife were my source of courage,” the prophet, who on the occasion handed over a N75 million worth of Lexus jeep as a gift to appreciate her wife’s steadfastness and dedication as a true partner and wife, stressed.
He commended Nollywood stars including ace comedian like AY, who graced the occasion, for their steadfastness in the film industry, and urged them not to give up and donated three million naira to one of the Nollywood actors, Leo Mezie, who is down with kidney problem and also sent a pack of healing water to him to get well fast.
One of the outstanding highlights of the Sunday service was the donation of N2 million to Miss Stephnie Rukevwe Idolor, a graduate of Auchi Federal Polytechnic, who brought the little girl Success Adegor to limelight through a shot video that went viral on the social media.
The cleric said “I was thinking of erecting a building worth over N54 million naira for the school in which “Success” was brought to limelight, but God told me to come up with other assistance, hence I decided to give the N2 million to Stephanie to appreciate her as nobody was thinking towards that direction.
“It is a pity that everybody is focusing their attention on Success, but nobody bothered to know how and who brought her to limelight for world recognition, hence I have decided to appreciate her with a token of N2 million.”
The General Overseer, therefore, commended the Nollywood guests and other entertainers led by veteran actor, whose roll call include Segun Arinze, Kanayo .O. Kanayo, Ukwa, Chiwetalu Agu, Mrs Rita Edochie, Uche Elendu, Frank, Dallas Aki, AY and Timi Dakolo and a host of others for their presence and promised to continue to be identified with the entertainment industry in the country.
