Dr Olukoya: Bank Manager Ignored God’s Call

Dr. Daniel Olukoya, the General Overseer of Mountain of Fire and Miracles Ministries (MFM), has issued a strong warning about the dangers of resisting a divine instruction. His widely discussed sermon highlighted that God’s call demands immediate obedience, not negotiation or delay.

A Costly Refusal

The cleric shared a compelling story of a man chosen for a specific ministerial assignment. This individual, a bank manager who also served as a part-time pastor, repeatedly declined the calling. He cited his successful career and a desire not to rely on church offerings for his income. He felt his part-time religious work was a suitable compromise between his professional life and his faith. His resistance to this divine instruction, however, led to severe consequences.

A Divine Ultimatum

The man’s refusal culminated in a strange train accident where he was the only passenger thrown from the moving vehicle. The incident resulted in the loss of his left hand. While recovering in the hospital, he received the divine instruction again, this time with a stark ultimatum: accept the ministerial work or lose his other hand. Confronted directly, the man finally surrendered and accepted the call.

As detailed in the complete version, there are several key factors to consider.

Serve with Dedication

Dr. Olukoya used this account to stress a critical spiritual principle. Opposing a clear divine instruction can provoke serious correction. He cautioned believers against allowing careers, beauty, or personal achievements to become idols that lead them to ignore their spiritual duties. The General Overseer concluded by urging unwavering dedication to service, reminding the congregation that divine jealousy is a powerful force that can humble anyone. He reinforced that no personal success justifies disobedience to a divine instruction.
