Apostle Fidel Chimezie is the founder of Nigeria Ministers Project and Apostolic Discipleship Project (ADPRO) ordained as an Apostle in 2007, She spoke to OMOLARA AKINTOYE about the Independence day, errors committed by past leaders and their effects on present-day Nigeria among sundry issues.
What is your take on the Independence day celebration, is it worth celebrating?
Nigeria will be 58 this year, we cannot continue to behave like a baby all these years so what are we celebrating. We should call God to come and help us but that does not mean we should not be happy but we should celebrate it in prayers so that the next Independence day will be worth celebrating.
What do you advise government to do to mark that day?
Let the governments come down to the needs of the poor masses, they can do empowerment programme for poor people on that day, they can call on each local government to gather people together on that day look for petty traders and give them some money to help their
businesses, with that it will go a long way to help families in this country and the Independence day celebration will have meanings to people, otherwise there is no point throwing jamboree or any form of party to celebrate that day, Nigerians are hungry.
What is your word for Nigerians as we celebrate the Independence Day?
God woke me up recently and gave me a word for Nigerians concerning that day, He said the Independence day was celebrated at Tarawa Balewa Square on October 1st 1960, He said we should know that the people in power then did not know Christ and were not Christians that their belief then was that before they could attain to any office they need an altar to carry them so they visited marine kingdom ahead of that
day to empower them which means the altar over Nigeria is from the marine world. He said I should raise Him 72 apostles and prophets that
will stand that day to undo what was done that year that is the error committed by our past leaders over the land at Tafawa Balewa Square (TBS). Each of us will be given an assignment to conduct crusade in across the states and if we continue that for three months, our states will be free of all marine manipulation and influence over the land. All the blood letting insurgencies we’ve been witnessing in the land
are due to what our forefathers have done, they raised an altar with blood. I am calling on everyone that loves Nigeria to join me to rescue this nation.
Can you tell us the vision and mission of ADPRO?
It is a ministry where God sent me to go and minister and raise apostolic altars for nations of the world so that the church will triumph and God’s people will come up through the altar and the angels will visit to pick whoever He wants to work for Him in political issues, social and financial issues, I am called to the nations of the world, I have gone to nations of the world to settle world issues, traveled all over the countries of this world, every last Friday of the month we do hold prayer meetings, I encourage Christians in Nigeria , send messages through the social media sending messages to them including Ministers of God two weeks ahead to pray and ransom Nigeria, God asked me to bring out money and share to people that He want to use me to ransom Nigeria which I did , He now told me that through my obedience, He would show me the secrets of Nigeria, God told me that the Islamic nations are coming with their powers that the only way to stop them is to use the blood of Jesus that anywhere Christians are they should pray and address the altars in their vicinity and use the blood of Jesus to counter any evil done on those altars against Nigeria.
As a female Apostle, what do you think should be the role of women in nation building?
The owner of Nigeria has come to deliver it and He has raised us as crusaders to rescue the nation, woe unto any woman that refuse to
allow God to rescue Nigeria through her. If you read Judges chapter four and five, it says curse over Moreh because he refuse to come to
the help of the Lord, so anybody that is in position to help Nigeria now and is withholding their resources and is refusing to pray the prayers God want them to pray in every nook and cranny of the country, God will not spare them because God want us to pray and deliver Nigeria that is why He has consecrated us.The second message that God gave me is to sensitise the women, God said He has empowered Nigerian women to stand up and save this nation, God said He doesn’t care who they are or what they do, but if He can use Deborah and Jael in the
Bible in the Book of Judges chapter Four and Five, Jael who was a house wife then He can use any woman, women should see themselves as vessels that God would use for this country, they are the Apostolic cry that God want to use to deliver this nation, as the mothers of
nations, women will arise and carry their instruments of prayers, enter their bedroom and kitchens, God said if women can arise and do
this, all the diabolical powers that have been used against this country will be destroyed, eyes of the people in leadership will be cleared because they are being controlled by the diabolical powers done on the altars in this country, so God gave me this word of prophecy that women should stop depending on men concerning the deliverance of this country, He said women should work on their husbands especially those at the corridor of power concerning this country. Women have a very powerful role to pray, that is why I am calling on them wherever they are to rise up to their responsibility, the woman has the capacity to save this land.
What is your reaction by the Independence People of Biafra (IPOB) calling for cessation?
The call by IPOB for independence is untimely even if they will get the freedom it is going to be through prayers not by force, if Nigeria is divided today it means we have all failed , it is the marine power that is causing the division, my word for them is that they can’t help God, if He want to give them the freedom no body can stop Him but it is prayers that we need to offer now.
How do you react to women taking up leadership position, especially governorship and presidential positions?
When God gives one an assignment, He overrules custom and any form of embargo, remember at that time in Israel a woman is not supposed to be a commander but Deborah had the privilege to be a Judge and a prophetess but because of the spiritual backup she summoned the man and the man said except she goes with him and be in agreement with him, he will not go , we don’t need to be too lousy to rule, our presence in our husband’s life and our influence means a lot, we can work on our husbands that before he takes any decision God’s backing is important, prayer is the secret to achieve this.
Can you tell us about your marital life?
Well I don’t have much to say on that, I am a widow with six children, though later lost one,God used my husband to train me in the work of
ministry due to persecution I faced in the marriage when I started newly because he was like No you can’t do this work and I faced a lot of persecutions but God used that to train me through him. I come from a very rich family, I schooled in New York but the work of ministry
has really humbled me and I am where I am today as a result of heeding the call of God. My call is different from any other person, God called me to raise Apostolic altar for him in nations, I work with altars and God gave me seven Ministers to work with him, ours is not a fellowship or church, it is where we solve problems even for churches that are dying and for individuals that are dying in the church, due to one problem or the other, when they come we pray for them and God will tell us the cause of their problems and we pray together and those problems are solved and the people go back to their church.
There is a lot of clamour by the Pentecostal Fellowship of Nigeria, Christian Association of Nigeria and many Christian bodies for a Christian President come 2019, what is your take on this?
We want God chosen leader not just someone picked up and presented as a Christian because in that PFN and CAN, they can be bought, I’ve seen where they were sharing money and they don’t have the idea of what true leadership is all about so what we need to do is to pray for God
to give us someone after His own heart, it can be a man or a woman, God should choose a leader for us not somebody that is just answering Christian name and doesn’t know what Christianity is all about. Some of them have hidden agenda, our prayers as Christians is not just for
a Christian leader but God chosen leader, a Joseph of our time, a deliverer who will deliver Nigeria from its present crises and save the people, we have such people in Nigeria all we need is for God to open our eyes to such people, women must raise altars of prayer.
Concerning the controversies surrounding tithes, some pastors have stopped their members from paying tithe, what is your reaction to this?
Tithing is Biblical, everything we have, belongs to God, the implication of those that are not paying tithe is that God is a giver and if we must serve Him we must be givers too, without giving, no one can succeed in life, altars cannot be raised without giving sacrifice, Satan cannot work for anybody without giving to him, so if you want to succeed in Christendom you must give, I for instance cannot pray for you if you don’t make a sacrifice because the altar that is after you has been empowered through sacrifice and that’s why we are sacrificing to deliver our land too so anybody that is serious to serve this Jesus must be a giver.
