Brief history of Rev. Dr. Obiora Ezekiel
He is a dynamic man full of integrity, transparency and discipline, who truly wants to please God and would not touch anything that is not validated by scriptures.
As a child, his mother always told him of how he would mount a small kitchen stool with a Bible in his hand and would preach the gospel. As a young lad in the village, he knew what he wanted and always went for it.
Rev. Ezekiel came to Lagos in 1954 because of God’s call upon his life. His ministry became known for deliverance that he is often called Demon Bulldozer. Having entered into the 3rd phase of his ministry, many gospel ministers within and outside Nigeria are subject to his spiritual authority and regarded him as the Apostle of our time.
As a distinguished Christian leader, he is a founding father of the Pentecostal Fellowship of Nigeria (PFN). He is a well-known Evangelist who has taken the gospel to most nooks and crannies of Nigeria holding “Powerless power crusades” with records of miracles, signs, wonders and tangible miracles. He is also a well-sought-after conference speaker internationally. The uniqueness of his ministry makes him outstanding.
Rev. Obiora is a PhD holder in Theology and a 4 star General in Chaplaincy. He is the author of many books including God’s Battle Axe, Purity of Priesthood, and In the Heart of the Father, among many others.
Dr. O. Ezekiel is a man among men of God. He’s a distinct voice crying out in the wilderness like John the Baptist and offers an adulterated message of salvation, of heaven and of hell.
Dr. O. Ezekiel is a man of immense desire to see God’s children prosper-spirit, soul and body. He frequently tells his audience that he would drag them to heaven.
He is often referred to as the happiest pastor in West Africa, an apostle and a 5-star general in the Kingdom of God. He is true to his calling as a Pastor; he has raised thousands of souls who have become pastors in their own rights. He will surely be missed by the church and Christians in Nigeria and all over the world.
May his soul rest in peace!
