The General Overseer of Mountain of Fire and Miracles Ministries (MFM), Daniel Olukoya, has emphasized the urgent need for divine intervention in Nigeria, particularly in addressing the nation’s escalating insecurity.
Speaking at the 34th and 35th convocation ceremonies of the Federal University of Technology, Akure (FUTA), Olukoya painted a vivid picture of humanity’s helplessness without God’s intervention.
“There is only one weapon that can kill any problem, and it is prayer. No matter how strong the problem is, prayer can dismantle it,” Olukoya declared.
“What we need in Nigeria is divine intervention. Let God intervene in what we are doing. Divine intervention is greater than human intellect. From what is happening in the world, you can see that God is showing mankind that they are helpless.”
Addressing the rising cost of education, Olukoya linked the high school fees in universities to the soaring cost of energy needed to sustain these institutions.
He shared a personal perspective: “It is not the fault of those proprietors. I am one of them. I am always supportive of the poor because I know how difficult it was for me to get to the university. My parents didn’t have the money.”
However, he explained the stark reality behind the financial demands.
“If you cannot pay good money to lecturers or professors, you won’t get good teachers. And if you run a private university and are paying less than federal universities, you will not get good professors.”
Olukoya’s insights paint a compelling call to action, urging a blend of prayerful reliance on divine power and practical solutions to Nigeria’s challenges.
