As part of its corporate social responsibility, the Mountain of Fire and Miracles Ministries (MFM) has dedicated a one-storey building chapel for the students and staff of King’s College, Lagos.

The General Overseer of the church, Dr. Daniel Kolawole Olukoya, who dedicated the chapel built by the MFM Tent Makers Pastoral Ministry Lagos Region 15, Victoria Island, explained that God does not need “you to know any big or influential person” to move anybody to the next level. He said God could use the unexpected things of this world to help whoever He wants to help.

During the well-attended brief ceremony, the man of God said: “God does not need Very Important Persons (VIPs) to promote you; God does not need to go to something big to push you forward. God can use somebody that you do not even know; somebody that is small, to move you to your next level.”

Olukoya charged the staff and students of the school, who filled the hall to pray and ask God to raise a voice for them where they have no voice, adding that God can use servants to move one forward.

Admonishing his audience further, Olukoya cited his personal experience when he went to submit his application form for the Commonwealth scholarship to study abroad after two months of the closure of the form’s submission.

According to him, when he got to the office to submit his application for the scholarship, the official he met in the office made jest of him for coming to submit the form two months after the official closing date, and they drove him out of their office.

He recalled that dejected and downcast, he stood at the entrance of the office, bemoaning his fate. “Suddenly, a young man, carrying food plates came out of the premises and enquired what I was doing at the entrance of the premises.”

Olukoya said he explained his mission to the man, who asked what class of certificate he had and to which he responded that he had a First Class. On hearing this, the man told him to wait for him, with a promise to assist him to submit the form once he returns from his errand. This promise, the messenger fulfilled by taking Olukoya to his boss, who was in charge of the Commonwealth scholarship beneficiary’s selection. That was how Olukoya’s scholarship to do his doctorate in the United Kingdom was fulfilled by God, who used a messenger to help him to fulfill his destiny.

Olukoya said: “God raised a voice for me where I had no voice.” While stressing that his audience should pray a simple prayer point, “God, raise a voice for me where I have no voice,” the cleric charged the students to do whatever they do very well, so that somebody could recommend them.

He noted three pillars of success, which according to him, are: “One, if you want to be great in any subject, the trick is that you must be a master of that subject. Once you master that subject, you will be great in that subject.

“Number two is that anything you know how to do, and you do it well, wherever you are, people will look for you. People will cross the borders to look for you, and number three is that everybody created by God is a solution to a problem and wherever you are, people will come to look for you,” Olukoya added.

Recall that the MFM Tent Makers Pastoral Ministries, led by Pastor Clement Imoru, has provided similar gestures at the University of Lagos Staff School, the Methodist Boys High School and the Queen’s College, among others.

The event, which was attended by senior pastors of the church, also had in attendance the principal, vice principal and all senior teachers of King’s College, who expressed their gratitude to God and to the church for the kind gesture.
