God sent an evangelist, Egwuonwu, to warn Nigeria's military rulers in 1986 that registering Nigeria as a member of the Organization of Islamic Countries could lead to religious conflict. Egwuonwu demonstrated God's power at a meeting with rulers, causing three men who tried to use charms against him to fall down screaming. He relayed God's message that Nigeria should remain secular. A wealthy businessman opposed to this was also overwhelmed by God's power when he disrespected Egwuonwu. Egwuonwu was then summoned by a paramount northern ruler but was protected by God, scattering a chair decorated with an image of Muhammad just by touching it. Egwuonwu successfully shared God's message at

1. GOD VISITED ISLAMIC BIGOTS
God dealt with certain past rulers who wanted to Islamize the country. There
arose a religious crisis in this country in the year 1986. Rumours were making
rounds in the country; that Nigeria was about to be registered as a member of
Organization of Islamic countries (OIC). That was during military rule. It was
causing restlessness among the Christians in the country.
Then, God sent Evang. J. Egwuonwu to meet the military rulers, and warn them
on the consequences of their intending action. The Lord told him to first meet the
Chief of Army Staff (Major General Sanni Abacha). God told them if they failed to
heed His warning, He would deal with them more ruthlessly than He dealt with
their predecessors. God said further, that He made it possible for the Army Chief
to be in that position. Some other officers struggled to occupy that post. But, He
made it possible for him to be there. The Army Chief then gave him date to come
again; by which he would assemble the top rulers to hear more from him.
At the appointed date, he appeared before the rulers, including the Head of
State– “Military Ruler, General Ibrahim Bandamosi Babangida.” He was called
upon to repeat what he said earlier. He prayed before making his speech. As he
was praying, the power of God moved in that auditorium. Three persons fell
under the power of the Holy Ghost. They were rolling on the floor, and screaming
like little children! Then, Egwuonwu told the gathering, that those three had
charms with them. They tried to charm him while he was praying, but failed
woefully. The three included: a wealthy civilian, a retired Major General, and a
serving Brigadier General then.
He gathered and destroyed their charms. When he touched and prayed for them,
they became normal. The retired Major General, admitted he got his charms
while in India for military training. The personalities that gathered there; were
overwhelmed by the power of God that moved in their midst. Then, the man of
God began to relay the Lord’s message to them.
The Lord told them He would want Nigeria to remain a secular state. In other
words, He didn’t want any religion to be imposed on the country. They shouldn’t
judge anybody. Only Him could rightly judge. He said the country should not be
registered with Organization of Islamic Countries (OIC). He said further that
religious war is an endless war, among other things.
After the meeting, Major Gen. Sanni Abacha took him to his expansive office. He
told members of his staff around to leave the office. He explained to the man of
God, he was amazed by what happened that day. He requested him to be
coming to his office monthly to teach him the bible.
Although, he was a Moslem, he wanted to know more about the bible, and the
Christian religion. He told him some of his colleagues used to criticize the
Christians publicly; but secretly read the bible, and fraternize with Christians. He
requested for a copy of the holy bible, which was given to him. He became a
confidential bible student of the Evangelist. Each time the preacher visited, he
would tell his staff to excuse them.
Then, a well-known multi-billionaire: who was the brain behind the move to do
the OIC registration; was offended by the activities of the Evangelist. He had a lot

2. of influence over the government. He ordered that the man of God should come
and see him. He questioned, whether the man was greater than Prophet
Mohamed. Arrangement was therefore made, for the preacher to go and meet
the multi-millionaire, from the South West of the country. Some army officers
accompanied him to the place. The wealthy contractor looked down on the man
of God. When the minister was saying the opening prayer, the man refused to
remove his cap.
As the prayer was going on, a mighty wind came from nowhere to blow his cap
off his head. Then, unseen hands got hold of his head; and knocked it hard on
the floor. He began to sprawl on the floor, and cry like a baby and shouting,
“Olorun Oba O! Olorun Oba O”! That is “God is great God is great.” He was
highly terrified!
Then, the minister gave him message from God. The Lord made it possible for
him to acquire his wealth. He regretted he was using the money He gave to him,
to cause trouble in the country. Finally, He told him He was ready to deal with
him, more ruthlessly than He dealt with Nebuchadnezzar of Babylon! And the
man became sober. He called on the man of God to pray for him; that God would
forgive him. And he prayed for him. Then, he realized God reigns in the
kingdoms of men.
“The same hour was the thing fulfilled upon Nebuchadnezzar, and he was driven
from men, and did eat grass as oxen, and his body was wet with the dew of
heaven, till his hairs were grown like eagles feathers, and his nails like birds’
claws. And at the end of the days; I Nebuchadnezzar lifted up mine eyes unto
heaven, and mine understanding returned unto me. And I blessed the most High,
and I praised and honoured him that lives for ever; whose dominion is an
everlasting dominion; and his kingdom is from generation to generation.
And all the inhabitants of the earth are reputed as nothing: and he does
according to his will in the army of heaven; and among the inhabitants of the
earth. And none can stay his hand, or say unto him, what does thou? At the
same time my reason returned unto me, and for the glory of my kingdom, mine
honour and brightness returned unto me, and my counselors and my lords
sought unto me; and I was established in my kingdom.
And excellent majesty was added unto me. Now, I Nebuchadnezzar praise and
extol and honour the king of heaven, all whose works are truth, and his ways
judgement. And those that walk in pride he is able to abase“ –Daniel 4:33-37.
Then, a paramount ruler from the far north of the country; was offended by the
development. He was highly influential. He ordered that the man of God be
brought before him in his palace. He questioned the genuineness of the minister
of the gospel. He asked, “Is he greater than Prophet Mohamed?”

3. Arrangement was made for the Minister of the gospel to go and meet the
paramount ruler. The Gospel Minister; was accompanied by only a Major (Ayuba)
in the Nigerian Army to the palace. It was like a suicide mission. All the security
guards were in full alert in the palace; with their weapons by their sides. The
palace was filled up with eminent personalities from the north. A seat was
‘prepared’ for the minister to sit on. The picture of Mohamed was boldly designed
on the seat.
The whole scenario was very intimidating. But God was always assuring him He
was with him. “And call upon me in the day of trouble; I will deliver thee, and thou
shall glorify me”- Ps 50:15. When he entered the palace, he saw some people
making invocations with their idols and charms. Instantly, the Lord showed him a
vision of angel following him with a sword.
The angel of the Lord went and defiled their charms with the edge of his sword.
As he was about to sit down on the seat prepared for him, God stopped him.
Instead, He instructed him to touch the chair with his hand. As soon as he
touched the chair; it scattered along with the charms hid underneath. They
started to scream and say “Allah Ya Sariki! Allah Ya Sariki”! That is, “God is
great! God is great.”
They acknowledged God’s greatness. He used the opportunity to preach to them.
He told them Jesus is the King of kings, and Lord of lords: Saviour of the whole
world. He said, “come unto me, all you that labour and are heavy laden, and I will
give you rest. Take my yoke upon you, and learn of me; for I am meek and lowly
in heart: and you shall find rest upon your souls. For my yoke is easy, and my
burden is light“ –Matt 11:28-30.
Soon after the sermon, he left the palace triumphantly. Later on, the Defence
Minister, Lt. General Domkat Bali told him, he initially thought he was using
charms. He further said he was fearing for the Gospel Minister: should the charm
disappoint him. But that day, he told him he had become convinced God was
making use of him; after coming out successfully from every intimidation. From
that day forward, nobody summoned him again to appear before him for
