The wife of the General Overseer of Holy Spirit Mission, (The Happy Family Chapel), Rev Carol Ighele has called on women to rise up and take their position spiritually to intercede for their children, and husbands.
The wake-up call was made recently at the international conference of ‘When Mama prays,’ held at the church headquarters in Lagos.
Tagged: ‘Rise Up’ gotten from Romans 8, Vs 11, the event brought together over 1000 women both physically and virtually which featured prayers, song rendition, and prophetic ministration.
There were music side attractions from gospel singer Judi-Kay and other guest ministers like, Debbie Segun, Pastor Victoria Uzibor, Deaconess Bunmi Thompson, Pastor Bosede Okonta, minister Elo Okwuashi, and others added a soul-lifting experience to the memorable event.
Ighele who is the convener of the programme stated that a lot is happening in the society that affects women most and it is time for women to Rise up to these challenges with prayer.
Speaking on how ‘When Mama prays’ programme started, Ighele explained that over 20 years ago when she was praying, the Lord said she should raise an army of women, ladies that are 15 years and above, that will intercede for their husbands, children, and for their natural abilities so that they can rise to the top through prayer.
“Many things come in while hosting these programmes, deliverance, healing, fruit of the womb. When a woman is born, she is born with eggs which indicate that God has given her a definite assignment. That assignment is procreation and to raise up Godly seed,” she said.
One of the guest ministers that shook up the women’s spirit with power packed ministration and prayer session, Reverend Mrs Fola Achumude called on women to shun distractions like gossip, envy, backbiting, and jealousy and take up the authority position which God has given them to fight for their families in these perilous times which the world and Nigeria have found themselves.
She charged women that these side distractions will only weaken the strength which God has put in them to stand in the gap to intercede for their children, husbands, and their natural abilities.
