The General Overseer of The Lord’s Chosen Charismatic Revival Ministries, Pastor Lazarus Muoka, claims that the presence of the Holy Spirit in the ministry is what makes all the difference between his church and others.
Pastor Muoka was speaking at this year’s annual international crusade in Imo State, tagged Mgbidi 2025.
The event lasted between January 2-5, 2025, at Mgbidi, Imo State.
Pastor Muoka, whose central ministry philosophy is encouraging the faithful to live holy lives, said, “The way of Jesus Christ is narrow, but remain in him no matter how narrow, the Lord will preserve you. When you go back, determine to be in Christ, and you will never live in isolation with him. Let’s go and live in holiness; it is achievable.”
He encouraged the congregation to stand on a solid foundation of holiness, as it is the foundation of Christianity.
He also admonished Nigerians to stop complaining and instead pray for miracles in 2025. Pastor Muoka stated that persecution is temporary training for the kingdom and that God will not allow the righteous to be overwhelmed.
He compared getting born-again to crossing the Red Sea, saying, “God divided the Red Sea so that the people of Israel would pass and never go back. Going back to the world, God is training you so that you don’t go back to the world. Some are complaining that they are suffering, but God is preparing you for the kingdom. You enter the kingdom through much tribulation, but if this is happening to you, it is just for a while. God will never leave you to suffer forever. God takes you through difficult times to preserve you. If you must enter heaven, you must be patient, long-suffering, have faith in the Lord, charity, love of Christ, persecution, and affliction. But God will make sure he delivers you in whatever persecution you find yourself. If you are in the office, they will fight you; where they are taking bribes, they will fight you, but God will deliver you, so you must know that holiness is the only way to heaven. Without Jesus Christ, there will never be holiness.”
Pastor Muoka urged the congregation to resist sin and live according to God’s words. He listed various sins including “hatred, murmuring, worshipping idols, consulting the dead, secret cult, marine cult, campus cult, prostitution, abortion, those killing unborn babies, repent and ask for mercy, the unrighteous shall not inherit the kingdom of God. Taking alcohol, one percent, two percent cigarette, Indian hemp.”
To the scammers often referred to as “yahoo yahoo” and robbers, he told them, “We don’t need your money, return the money to the owners and pray for mercy.”
“Those that marry and divorce, go back to your wife or husband.”
Unlike other Pentecostal churches, Mr. Muoka refrained from attempting prophetic prediction about the new year 2025, besides pointing his members to live a holy life at all times and prepare for “HEAVEN AT LAST.”
Among the attendees at the event were visitors from foreign nations, and dignitaries including the governor of Bayelsa State, Gov. Douye Diri.
