Dr. D.K. Olukoya, General Overseer of the Mountain of Fire and Miracles Ministries (MFM), has released a new teaching clarifying the meaning and intent behind the controversial prayer point “Die By Fire.”
In the message, addressed to the church’s congregation and a wider audience, Dr. Olukoya addresses what he describes as misconceptions regarding the phrase. He states that the prayer is not an expression of hatred but rather a spiritual declaration aimed at dismantling evil works and securing deliverance for believers.
According to Dr. Olukoya, the prayer point is a form of spiritual warfare that requires both understanding and authority. He outlines what he describes as the biblical foundation for such declarations and emphasizes the importance of bold, faith-filled language when engaging in deliverance ministry.
“When we pray the ‘Die By Fire’ prayer in Mountain of Fire and Miracles Ministries, what are we truly saying?” Dr. Olukoya asks in the teaching. He explains that the practice is intended to invoke divine authority for freedom and victory rather than to incite violence or hatred toward individuals.
The teaching, which is now available through the ministry’s official channels, covers:
· The scriptural basis cited for aggressive prayer points,
· Guidelines for praying with what the ministry calls “precision and authority,” and
· The role of spiritual warfare in the church’s broader theology.
Mountain of Fire and Miracles Ministries, founded by Dr. Olukoya, is a global Pentecostal denomination headquartered in Lagos. The church is widely known for its emphasis on prayer and deliverance, with branches and prayer centers operating in countries around the world.
The message concludes with an invitation for members and viewers to engage with the full teaching for what the ministry describes as deeper spiritual empowerment.
