QUOTES FROM THE LATE BISHOP
“As Peter was sent to the Jews and Paul to the gentiles, I am an apostle to the occult world – juju or fetish priests, cultists, ritualists and other satanic agents. I received God’s command to confront and convert them. However, where they remain stiff-necked in their wickedness and sin, I pray down the power of God to destroy them”
“Like God commanded Moses in number 25:17, my approach to occult men and women is to vex and smite them. Vexing them means provoking them to anger by demonstrating the power of god and that Jesus is the only saviour of man(Acts4:12), not Satan”
“My vision on earth is to demolish satanic stronghold and lift up the name of Jesus Christ to all men (2Cor. 10:4-6)”
UPDATE:
“With sadness but with total gratitude to God for a life well lived, the entire body of the PFN and CAN nationwide announce the death of ArchbishopAlexander ezeugo ekewuba, general overseer of the overcomers Christian mission owerri. He died on the 7th of February 2018 after a brief illness. May his soul rest in peace. Amen.
