Days after a fire inferno occurred at the Christ Mercyland Deliverance Ministries, along Effurin-Sapele road in Uvwie local government area of Delta State, razing down the ministry partners hall, the Founder of the ministry, Prophet Jeremiah Omoto-Fufeyin on Sunday, March 27, 2023, during an interview with selected Journalists disclosed that he will begin the erection of a new edifice of worship between the months of June and December, 2023.
Speaking on what really transpired on Tuesday, March 21, 2023, the renowned Prophet noted that the reason God allowed the fire to burn the partners hall and destroyed properties worth billions of naira, was as a result of his disobedience and stubbornness to God’s instructions which he said was to build God a house of worship.
“What was burnt was the partners hall, not a Church. I have not built a Church in Mercy City”.
He said; “I have been hearing different version while some say it was the church that got burnt or it was a someone that burnt it, but all these stories are not true.
“I am the cause of the inferno. God had been warning me, but I prove stubborn and out of my stubbornness He came and took what is making me stubborn”.
Speaking further, the Ijaw born prophet revealed that at a time, God called him and ask him to build him a house of worship. He said, the partners hall was never a Church building, but that, out of disobedience, he refused to listen.
He said; in the year 2020, he made attempt to build a house of worship for God, but that after spending 10 million naira to draw the plan, Corona Virus crept in and that diverted his attention.
Prophet Fufeyin who also spoke on ‘Trials of God’, during his sermon, attributed his ordeal to disobedience. He likened his case to that of Prophet Jonah in the bible who out of disobedience was to bring trouble to innocent people in the boat.
He said, several security agents have called him to ask if he is suspecting anyone, but said his response to them jokingly was that God is the number suspect.
He called on his congregants to always listen to God’s instructions and never disobeyed him as through trials, God will promote them to the next level.
He revealed that his stubbornness has made him and the ministry spent a whooping sum of over 250 million naira to purchase new equipments to keep the people of God comfortable in their fathers house.
While thanking God for his mercies, he also solicit the understanding of his members and pray for God mercies as he assured them that he will begin a beautiful edifice of worship by June and by December, they will have a place of worship but not a partner hall.
