GOMERM, MY ZION

By Ola Jones

 

The journey was that of the Israelite in the wilderness. For years, I was lost as I shepherded the rest of my family. There was no one to give direction; and ignorantly we wandered going to settlements where God does not exist. In the wilderness we were, when the light shone and we found where God lives. The domicile was where we had passed severally; it was an appointed sanctuary for us but we could not recognise it as such. We wandered with the faintest idea that so close to us was a healing home, a home for deliverance from the claws of the evil world, a home where a true relationship with God gives you salvation, a home where like for the Zionists, captivities are restored. It is the habitat of God, enveloped by the wind of miracles. The House is God’s Mercy Revival Ministry, (GOMERM). As the name depicts, in truth, His favour and mercy abound therein.

Dr. James Oluwole Akanbi, GeneralOverseer, GOMERM

There is a powerful manifestation of the presence of the Prince of Peace in this Great House of the Lord.

 

It was in the first week of July 2011, that my family visited the church to worship and from that moment a change began in our lives. The whole of the preceding week was a tough experience and one that I will never let go from my memory. We had survived the week only on ten satchets of water which we purchased with the last 35 naira we had in our home. It was a week we thought, we were due for ridicule as we were yet to renew the rent due on our 6’ x 9’ room apartment. The landlady had politely exhibited her impatience with us probably because she felt the amount (7,200 naira for half -of- a- year) should not be difficult for us to pay and so she subtly threatened fire and brimstone should we fail to settle at the turn of a new month which was the July we first visited GOMERM. To simply put it, we were dead in the water.

 

The Journey to liberation

 

In GOMERM, we met Jesus Christ through His servant Dr. James Akanbi who prayed with prophetic pronouncement that a silver lining would come to mark our cloud. And unbelievably this came to pass within few days and specifically the very day my landlady was to have confrontation with us. I was in the house that morning when a spirit ministered to me that I should call on a friend I had not seen for almost 16 years. I swiftly heeded and a call to the friend yielded the rent, and some money to feed. Not only that, he offered that I should come into the office regularly to assist him in duties while he would appreciate my effort with whatever he could give at the end of the month.

 

This awesome manifestation of God’s ability to turn things around with His infinite mercy became a propelling force in me to stay in GOMERM. I became faithful that someday, He will visit me fully as he had done to others that had in my presence testified to His kindness. My faith became stronger as the General Overseer of the Church who I prefer to call Dad, took special interest in my family. He is indeed a caring man of God. Dr. Akanbi is a man living like Jesus Christ; he readily shares the pains of others, no matter what it will take from his life. All he battles for is your salvation and inheritance of the rest of the things that His father in Heaven has promised us. With those things comes prosperity, good health, breaking of the yoke of affliction, success, etc.

 

Dr. Akanbi is an oracle of God. Several times he had spoken the mind of the Supreme Being towards man and such pronouncements never fail to come into fulfillment. He has given prophecies about nations, concerning individuals and institutions and they happened as he was sent to reveal. Last year in the month of August during a Solution Touch Service which happens every Thursday, this affable man of God prophesied  that someone in the service would be earning his income in dollars and truly when I opened my mail in the following month I saw something happening in that realm.

 

Also late last year God showed him a vision that there were some members of the church that the enemies had clipped there wings and they could no longer fly but after that revelation and prayer, the affected people would have there wings back and start flying. True to this vision, I had witnessed people sharing testimonies of making there journeys by air in the past but due to the power of demonic forces life became miserable and they could no longer fly. The prophecy also came to pass in my life this month when I had to travel miraculously by air within the country after the airspace was closed to me by enemies for several years.

 

It was during the trip that the biggest one happened. At the monthly miracle service of the for the month of January Dr. Akanbi prophesied, a new season for the church members and I could still remember the special touch of the Holy Spirit on me that morning service. Truly, it became the start of a new season for me and my family as the trip fetched me the money to hire a new apartment (Three bed rooms flat). I was taken away from Egypt where I have been suffering for years. The high point of this testimony is that my landlady gave me a notice of eviction in January against March and God intervened in His awesome way and provided a very comfortable palace for my family. God lives in GOMERM, The Ministry is my own Zion.
