Harvest of souls, miracles at the Calabar Great Gospel Crusade

Crowds at the crusade ground yesterday

By Emma Una

Thousands  of people gave their lives  to Christ while many others received healing for their bodies on Thursday,  the first day of the Calabar Great Gospel Crusade holding in Calabar.

Millions of people from across the state and neighbouring states  turned  up at the Cross River State University of Technology  grounds   venue for the crusade with thousands showing up several hours before the 4.00 pm announced time for commencement of the programme.

Many were healed of diverse ailments such as  HIV, deafness, blindness, paralysis, pains poison  among others.

Evangelist Daniel Kolenda, in his message at the Crusade which is his first since he was formally anointed by Evangelist Reinhard Bonnke as a successor  in December last year said the history of Calabar will be rewritten after  the four day event as many mighty things will take place in the city.

“God is always on time; he is never early, never late in his dealings and this is the right time for Calasbar to experience the miraculous and the history of this great city will never remain the same” Kolenda said

The message taken from Romans 10: 13, Kolenda announced that in Christianity God seeks  man unlike in other religion where man seeks God and he did that by sending his son Jesus to redeem man from sin and iniquity.

“Christ came so that everyone who calls upon the name of the said shall be saved and this salvation takes one out whatever addiction be it alcoholic, drug or homosexuality”

He said the feet of everyone who has received Christ is planted on the solid rock no matter the country, tribe or state of origin.

He called on blacks to stop bleaching their skin as they are amazingly created by God and most whites crave for the black skin

“Black people are amazingly created by God and white people crave to  have black skin that is why many of them lie in the sun to turn their skin black but here I see some people bleach their skin to be white which is wrong”

The prograame which lasted for a few hours was interspaced with musical rendition and testimonies from those who were healed by God.
