The Divine Encounter
A Vision That Shaped a Ministry
Many years ago, God gave me a vision that revealed how He wanted to work through me in setting free people who are in bondage. I remember in one of the visions, it was like I was driving on a particular mountain, and I heard cries of pain and anguish from the heart of the mountain. I wondered how these people could be saved; I had to dig through the mountain to reach them in the cave. But as I thought about this, suddenly a kind of pickaxe came from heaven. As I hit the mountain with the pickaxe, I wondered how it could break the rock, as dynamite would have been preferred. Amazingly, when I hit the mountain, there was an explosion, and in no time, I reached the cave where the souls were trapped. As the explosion continued, millions of people suddenly came out very happy, laughing, and jubilating. Then the Lord said to me that He was sending me to liberate the masses from bondages and controls.
There were lots of such visions of me rescuing people, such as someone drowning, and the like. It was very easy for me to understand my calling in doing ministry all over the nations. This is because my ministry is often characterized by the mass move of the Holy Spirit, salvation of souls, healings, and deliverances. I have understood that the atonement work of Jesus Christ on the cross of Calvary is the final sacrifice that was paid for our liberation and redemption.
We have been running the vision of propagating the liberty won for us through Jesus Christ on the cross of Calvary. As we believe God for more funds for crusades and seminars across the nations of the world, we look forward to the Lord confirming His word with signs and wonders following.
"The message of Liberation Bible Church is that when you receive Jesus and the word, and you stand in faith and prayer, you will be liberated from all the shackles, tentacles, and tenterhooks of the devil. This is the message we carry to the nations of the world."
