Get Guardian on GoogleDr Daysman Oyakhilome has visited CEF Benin Zone 1 in Benin City, Edo State, where worshippers shared testimonies of alleged healings during a religious gathering attended by members of the church and visitors.
The event, described by organisers as Oyakhilome’s first visit to a Nigerian church branch in 2026, featured prayers, religious teachings and accounts from individuals who said they experienced improvements in their physical conditions during the service.
Worshippers gathered inside the church auditorium and in designated outdoor overflow areas to participate in the programme.
During his ministration, Oyakhilome spoke about faith, divine presence and healing, telling participants that their location within or outside the main auditorium did not determine their ability to participate in the religious experience.
He encouraged those attending to remain receptive to the message and prayers being delivered.
The gathering also featured testimonies from worshippers who attributed changes in their health conditions to the prayers and declarations made during the service.
Addressing the congregation, Oyakhilome emphasised what he described as the power of faith and God’s presence in the lives of believers.
He told worshippers that participation in the service was not limited to those seated inside the main auditorium, extending his message to people watching and listening from the overflow areas.
One of the moments highlighted by attendees involved a woman who was reportedly unable to walk without assistance.
According to the account provided by the church, Oyakhilome addressed the woman during the ministration and instructed her to stand without relying on her crutches.
He repeatedly encouraged her to rise while declaring that healing was taking place.
Another testimony involved a man who reportedly travelled from Oyo State to attend the programme.
According to the account shared during the gathering, the man had experienced pain that affected his ability to walk comfortably before arriving at the church.
He reportedly told attendees that the pain disappeared while Oyakhilome was ministering.
The testimony attracted attention from worshippers, who responded with expressions of excitement and thanksgiving.
The gathering also featured an account involving a woman described as one of a set of twins.
Church representatives said the woman, who had reportedly experienced significant mobility difficulties, was able to walk during the programme.
Her experience was presented as another of the healing testimonies associated with Oyakhilome’s visit.
Beyond the testimonies, the visit was presented by church organisers as a significant event in the activities of CEF Benin Zone 1.
According to the organisers, the gathering marked the first Nigerian church branch visited by Oyakhilome during 2026.
The occasion attracted members from within the church community, including worshippers who participated from outside the main auditorium.
For attendees, the programme provided an opportunity to hear Oyakhilome’s teachings in person and take part in collective prayers.
Following the service, members of the church community have continued discussing the visit and the testimonies shared during the gathering.
As discussions continue about possible future visits, the church has yet to announce the next Nigerian branch on Oyakhilome’s schedule.
For now, the Benin City gathering remains the first Nigerian branch visit of 2026, with the reported testimonies continuing to attract attention among members.
