Inspiring Story Of How Pastor Chris Oyakhilome And Benny Hinn Started by Dailyhappenings: 10:10am On Jan 04, 2018 |
I find find these stories about two of my foremost mentors very inspiring and extremely interesting. Many have heard me tell these stories. FIRST we start with Pastor Chris Oyakhilome and Archbishop Benson Idahosa. You need to realise that decades ago while Pastor Chris Oyakhilome was yet in High School he was fascinated by the miracle ministry of Benson Idahosa. He'd read ministry magazines of Church of God Mission and say to himself "One day, I too will have massive crusades where crowds will gather and miracles will happen" Well he had an opportunity of working with CGM Benin City as a volunteer staff after high school. Fast forward some years later. Pastor Chris Oyakhilome had become a phenomenon in uniben and Bendel State University ( now Ambrose Ali University his alumnus). The stories around town was that when he laid hands on people they'll fall down on the flat of their back and many received incredible miracles. Word got to the youth pastor of Church of God Mission headquarters Benin City and he extended an invitation to Pastor Chris to come to the legendary Miracle Centre of CGMI where the legend himself Benson Idahosa was pastor but not just as a mere volunteer but as an honoured Guest Minister! That will be equivalent to asking this poster to preach in the youth convention @ Canaanland or Redemption Camp! Pastor Chris Oyakhilome was to bring the first message before the Archbishop himself preached. The young pastor was overwhelmed. He spent hours praying feeling unworthy to stand behind that pulpit. The more he thought about it the harder he prayed. He must have prayed too long as he arrived the meeting late. Too late! The time for him to preach had already come and one of his team members had jumped in to help out. This pastor said to the somewhat disappointed congregation "I am not Pastor Christian but I will preach" and preach he did! In fact Pst Chris Oyakhilome met him preaching at his belated arrival. He actually sneaked in unnoticed. At the conclusion of the sermon, the CGM youth pastor insisted that if "Bro Christian" had arrived, he should just come to the pulpit for a few words of greeting. Someone spotted him. The crowd cheered. So he trudged on out. Bearing in mind that the expectant congregation had already been subjected to a stirring sermon and Papa himself was on hand to bring yet another charge, Pastor thought it wise to just sing a song (he was then and is now such a wonderful singer). Unfortunately, he pitched his key wrongly and nearly nobody was singing along with him as he was squeaking and thoroughly embarrassing himself. it was a perfect anticlimax. He couldn't hand back the microphone quickly enough. All he could think about was leaving the stage! But as soon as the youth pastor touched the microphone, he fell like a tree to the floor with the microphone making a loud bang! Another pastor rushed to the aid of the felled pastor taking the microphone first but he too fell and that on top of the other pastor! Then whoosh! The power of God hit that place! Everyone was knocked to the floor including every member of Pst Chris' team. tears flowed and just at the snap of a finger, deaf ears began to pop open everywhere, cripples began to walk, tumors began to dissolve all over that place...What a mighty God we serve! NOW we go to Benny Hinn. He had drawn so much from Kathryn Kuhlman but the closest he ever came to meeting her was singing in the choir of one of her Canadian crusades. o Miss Kuhlman wanted to meet him just before she died but that service was botched due to her health and they never met. Surprisingly, he was asked to speak in February of 1977 at a memorial service held for Miss Kuhlman who died exactly a year before. He was perplexed. When he found out that a healing service had been scheduled for him to conduct he was a nervous wreck! He was just 24 years old and hardly known outside Toronto! How he pleaded to have the programme changed. He prayed so hard that he prayed himself into fear. Jimmie McDonald Miss Kuhlman's vocalist sang and introduced him but Benny will not come out. in fact an usher had to drag him onto the stage. ALL EYES WERE ON HIM! He couldn't think! He tried singing but ended up squeaking and no one sang along! In embarrassment he cried with tears into the microphone " Lord I can't do this! I can't do it Lord" Then the Holy Spirit spoke "I am glad you can't because now I will". Suddenly as he spoke the power of God descended. Wheelchairs were emptied. cancers melted away and all sorts of miracles... What a mighty God we serve!
