The Chairman, Mountain of Fire and Miracles Ministries (MFM) Praise and Worship Association, Pastor Pius Nweze Oragwu, has tied the huge success of the just-concluded 24 Hours Marathon Praise and Worship, to God’s divine intervention and the love of the General Overseer of MFM worldwide, Dr Daniel Kolawole Olukoya, for praise and worship.
The 2025 24-hour marathon praise, which was held from Friday, 18 to Saturday, 19 July 2025, at the MFM International Headquarters, Onike, Yaba, Lagos, featured 60 choir groups and prophetic utterances from 30 pastors of the Ministry and was attended by a large crowd of worshippers within and outside the Ministry.
In a chat with newsmen, Oragwu disclosed that, “What was on my mind when the MFM 24-hour Praise and Worship Marathon was being put together was to glorify God and express our gratitude to Him for His consistent goodness and mercies unto us and unto our Church, the Mountain of Fire and Miracles Ministries all over the world.

“Some people love to receive blessings, but they don’t remember to give thanks and express their gratitude and appreciation to the giver. This is not a good habit. We have a saying in Igbo language, that, ‘When you thank someone for what he did for you, he will do more;’ so, when we thank God for all He has been doing for us, our families, our church worldwide and our nation, He shall do better to us. That was why we felt that the programme was an excellent assignment.
“In addition, our father in the Lord, the General Overseer of MFM Ministries worldwide, had encouraged the Praise Team in the past to run marathon praise and worship programmes, to the glory of God. So, we obeyed,” he stressed.
Speaking on the challenges faced during the planning, he said that such included the stress of total planning; some setbacks, insufficient resources, spiritual challenges, among others but through it all, God Almighty saw the team through safely to success.
According to the cleric, “The show was a success, far beyond the one of 2023, with much improvement. We have also seen areas of necessary improvement for the next one, by the grace of God.”
