HIS transfer at a point became an issue as his followers saw it as a major distraction to his adoration ministry. They were afraid of the unknown but Rev. Fr. Ejike Mbaka, the fiery Enugu Catholic priest who prophesied the end of former President Goodluck Jonathan’s era, may have had a premonition of what lay ahead of him.
Before he departed The Christ the King Parish GRA, for an ob- scure Our Lady Rosary Parish, Emene, earlier in the year, he told the congregation that God was about to lift the adoration ministry to greater heights.
He said; “God is wonderful. You can see that I am smiling, filled with cheers and the joy of the Lord. I have the feeling that God’s hand is in my going out of GRA. I am seeing everything as the will of God. When I remember that my providing God is with me and for me, I am filled with joy and I’m comforted. The ways of God are divine and mysterious and at times when he wants to do a thing, we humans may not understand it. We may be seeing the external but God who sees the future planned and packaged everything for us.”
Few months after the trans- fer, Mbaka in an exclusive chat with our reporter last week at the permanent site of the adoration ground in Emene said, “the Journey to the adoration permnent site is a blessing in disguise and I welcomed it with joy even though I was misunderstood. Some people who thought I would disobey the church and the Bishop by saying I would not go out; but how can I dis- obey the bishop?
“Now we have packed in here and within few months, the number of people coming there has doubled more than 20 times and we have started a new parsonage, Adoration parsonage, and it’s nearing completion. God is 100 per cent on our side and the congregation is happy and I am exceedingly happy. I am grateful to the Bishop and the Church that moved me out of the GRA;Iam just like a fish that was growing inside a bottle and now has been put inside the ocean. I thank the church for that move from the GRA for the Ministry is serving a larger role to the global universe; it is not just a parish per se, it is serving the whole Nigeria. It is inter cul- tural, it is inter denominational, it is also inter tribal. The adora- tion Ministry, Enugu, Nigeria is the grand parent to all the new adoration ministries that are growing and God has given us a home and made Umuchigbo, Nike land where we are, a glori- ous empire of the Holy Spirit.
Mbaka who had accommoda- tion issues when he was trans- ferred noted that apart from the parsonage that is almost com- pleted, other projects are in the pipeline expressing happiness with the worshippers, with the government of the day.
“The government of Enugu led by Governor Ifeanyi Ug- wuanyi is adoration friendly and we are enjoying the highest peace we have never enjoyed in the annals of the history of the ministry. So things are moving very well; and since we came in here God has been shocking us with goose-pimple-arousing miracles; we have never expe- rienced such miracles as we are experiencing now. As He said in John 14:12 ‘for the works you did you shall be and do greater works;’ the works are now be- ing made manifest and we are thanking Him for the massive miracles; many lame people have walked; many blind peo- ple have seen, by the power of God; I don’t claim the glory. By the Blessed Sacrament many barren women conceive twins, triplets and at times dead people rise; like the last experience- a woman who worships in the Chosen Ministries came here with an 8-month pregnancy in which the unborn baby had been confirmed dead after an ultra sound. Two days after other scans had confirmed the baby dead she came to the adoration ground, and as we were praing I lifted the Blessed Sacra- ment before the woman with the dead child and the child came back to life and last week the child was delivered. We are having miracle explosion in the adoration ground since we got here; ministry where jobs are given to people miraculously and indiscriminately; under a week over 300 of our members will get jobs as if to say that the solution to the recession is here in the adoration ministry. And many prayers are being said here and we are hoping that through the adoration prayers Nigeria will have solution to re- cession. We are not waiting for the president or the economy; we are using our own supernatural formula through the power of the Blessed Sacrament to wage war against the recessions as we warred against Ebola. So we cannot praise God enough; many blind receive their sights here, many deaf people hear; there is no day that God does not record shocking miracles.
An elated Mbaka further said; “We are experiencing un- countable miracles as He did in His own time; what we are ex- periencing at the new site is the same type of miracle in John 20:30; John 21:25, uncountable miracles. Where do we start? Thousands of souls are com- ing back to Christ through the adoration ministry; and people will fly down from overseas to give their lives to God at the adoration ground; it is now a pilgrimage centre for life sav- ing, for soul saving, for spiritu- al blessings, financial blessings and otherwise. Even people with vocational hard luck we pray for their liberation. That is why, even this community we are staying, multiple mira- cles for the people. So we are very happy; we are excited; we are not regretting our journey from GRA to the new site. It is a blessing and we thank ev- erybody who supported us in prayers. The entire members of the adoration ministry are happy; now the programme has gone to a level beyond hu- man definition; we do things in ordinary way, God turns it into extra ordinary. We are not doing anything different from what others are doing but only God knows how He turns the little things we do into mira- cles. So He takes all the glory; I am just an instrument for the miracle and I am very happy; I am healthy; since we packed in here I have never suffered even headache; no malaria, nothing. I am strong, enthusiastic with high passion to do more for God. And I wish to remain for- ever for Christ; and I have no problem with the Church and to the glory of God things are go- ing well; we are flourishing like a palm tree and we are grow- ing like the Cedar of Lebanon. Things are working out fine and we thank God for the fresh anointing of the Holy Spirit be- cause since we packed in here we have been abiding under the canopy of fresh anointing of the Holy Spirit and that is the secret of the miracles.”
