OUR PAPA IS GONE:REV DR UMA UKPAI

I Visited Dr. Uma Ukpai — Rev'd Isaac Omolehin I visited a very good friend of mine, Rev'd Doc. Uma Ukpai, some of you must have heard about him. While we were discussing, he told me a story of a certain village in Ebonyi State. The white missionaries that were sent there many years ago, were driven away by the villagers. The last missionary that came to evangelise to them, they drove him and he refused to go. Then they said to him ‘‘Okay, we'll k!ll you”. When they took him to k!ll him, he agreed to leave the village but they refused to let him go. He pleaded and begged them to let him travel to a nearby village but they insisted on k!lling him. They took him outside the village, took sticks to break his skull, the missionary lifted up his hand and said this exact words to them 👉🏼 “I have used the name of Jesus to beg you to allow me leave but you've refused, if you people k!ll me, nobody in this village will rise above the level of a labourer, there's nothing you'll do to go above the level of a labourer” And for many years in that village, if you like, study all you could, read all you wished, when you graduate, you'll go to either Abuja or Lagos and use your certificate and expertise as a gateman. Those people from that village struggled for years without seeing the results of their labours. They came to this my evangelist friend, Dr. Uma Ukpai and told him exactly what happened between their forefathers and the missionary and Dr. Uma went there. Uma Ukpai went there and gathered all of them at their village Square, their king stood up and said “This is what we inherited — we're paying a debt we did not owe, our fathers put us in this” Dr. Uma prayed, removed his shoes and knelt down and prayed. He asked God to overlook and have mercy upon them. He pleaded the blood of Jesus over the village and left. He told me that it wasn't long before they invited him to that village for thanksgiving and celebration. The veil covering them was broken and good things started happening. That village produced the Governor of that State, 5 commissioners also came from that village and so many wonderful news. It was as if they were getting arrears of their benefits. The Bible says that the years that the locust and caterpillars have eaten, God will restore and I pray for you, may God in His mercy restore those years back to you in double fold in the name of Jesus!
