Prominent Pentecostal cleric, Dr. Jerry Nwachukwu, has challenged one Mathias Ezeaku, a native doctor, to supremacy contest in Anambra state.
Dr. Nwachukwu, Senior Pastor of the Bible Base Miracle Assembly, Nkpor-Agu, said he was upset that Mathias Ezeaku, a native doctor, took to the social media to say that Jesus Christ has no power to heal the sick, make the lame walk or make the barren to conceive, among other claims.
In his message during a Sunday Service in his church, at No.19 Ezendu Street, off Mercedes Avenue, Nkpor-Agu, Nwachukwu berated the native doctor, while challenging him to choose a venue where he (Nwachukwu) will demonstrate to him that there is a supreme God above all other gods.
He said, "Right from the Old Testament, the scripture has shown and demonstrated the power of the Almighty God above all other gods. In the New Testament, Jesus Christ demonstrated in many episodes that what could be done and achieved in His name is limitless.
"Therefore, I challenge Mathias Ezeaku, who has claimed in several fora, including on the social media, that no pastor can heal, unbound or restore in the name of Jesus Christ, to choose a venue and date, so that it will be demonstrated to him that all powers belong to God, and His son, Jesus Christ.
"If Mathias Ezeaku has no venue, I challenge him to come to United Primary School field, Nkpor-Agu, between March 23 and March 30. Let's organize a crusade there. I want Mathias Ezeaku with all the native doctors he knows, to come over there with hundreds of blind people, the lame, the cripple, and people possessed by unclean spirit and witness how they will be restored in the name of Jesus Christ of Nazareth.
"In the New Testament, Jesus demonstrated his supernatural powers through healing the sick, casting out demons, raising the dead, controlling nature (like calming storms), and miraculously feeding large crowds; these acts are documented across all four Gospels (Matthew, Mark, Luke, and John).
"Jesus is the same today, tomorrow and forever. The same thing He did in the scriptures, He still does them today, and will not stop doing same.
"In 2 Chronicles 20:6, the Bible says 'God rules over all the kingdoms of the nations. In His hand are power and might, so that none is able to withstand Him.
"Mathias Ezeaku will certainly witness this power of God, and His son, Jesus Christ. If he honoured this challenge, and come to this crusade, he will encounter the experience of Paul when he going to persecute Christians. In that crusade, he shall renounce peganism and accept Jesus Christ as his Lord and personal savior."
