Rhema Deliverance Mission, Southwest had its 22nd year Anniversary on 4th December 2022 at the Church Cathedral in Lagos. Very significant this year is the presence of Peter Obi , Labour Party presidential candidate for 2023.
Speaking with Bishop Dr.Anene Nwachukwu, the Bishop and General Overseer of the Rhema Deliverance Mission, he noted that for the past 22 years , God has been so faithful to Rhema Ministries. He said the ministry started from a very humble beginning and gradually progressed to a now glorious assembly of worshippers with massive structures and members all over nigeria and in diaspora.
While recounting the achievements of the church so far in its 22years of existence, Dr. Anene said God had manifested grace and power in diverse ways, God used his servant to liberate and touch many lives, the barren has conceived, the sick has been healed through the ministry, and people are liberated to possess their possession, destinies are restored, 22 years of decongesting hell and bringing people into the kingdom of God that’s what we are doing, he noted.
Dr. Anene further stated that Rhema Ministries invited his Excellency, Peter Obi because he is a family friend ,a brother and as a former governor of Anambra my state.
Dr. Anene Nwachukwu said:
“As people may have in mind, Peter Obi’s visit is not for the purpose of campaign, he came to grace the occasion as he used to do when he was governor of Anambra state for 8yrs and had always attended Rhema Functions, so this time around I deemed it fit to invite him to our event and Annual Thanksgiving and he came as usual.
To the glory of God, Peter Obi blessed us through words of encouragement as the church prayed for his ambition, it is our duty to pray for our leaders as well as any aspirant that comes to Rhema to seek for prayers, we gladly pray for them, we are open to all, our duty as a church is to pray that God Almighty will give us good leaders come 2023.
As it is, Peter Obi and Tinubu are both good candidates, we say a Hausa/Fulani man cannot rule for 8yrs and another of same tribe is coming to rule again. Tinubu and Obi are good candidates.”
Dr. Anene revealed to the press present that as a church, the headquarters and permanent site is located in Lagos, a cathedral arm of this magnitude. He also revealed that there are other branches in South west states as well as Abeokuta, Ibadan, Oshogbo and still expanding extensively all over Nigeria and worldwide believing God for the salvation of more souls to Christ. Our pride, our achievements is turning people to christ, healing the sick, making the barren conceive and have babies, making the jobless to get jobs, the protection and well being of souls, he said.
Peter Obi granted the press a brief interview where he talked about Dr. Anene and family, he said:
“I’ve known pastor Nwachukwu for a long time, he is a friend and I know the family, they have been dedicated to the services of God and that’s why I came here and I believe that the grace of God abounds in this ministry.”
Talking about governance, Peter Obi said governance is about caring for the low in the society,you have to start caring for the poor and helpless by lifting the low in the society.
