A crusade to shut down beer parlours, reduce crime and depopulate the kingdom of darkness in Ogba area of Lagos, western Nigeria, is underway, stated Mountain of Fire and Miracles Ministries, MFM, at a press conference on Sunday.
"We want to close down beer parlours in Ogba environment. We want to convert beer parlours into our praying centres," stated Pastor Aderemi Oseni, the Regional Overseer of MFM Region 32 Ogba, Lagos, who addressed journalists in his church.
"At the end of this crusade, the kingdom of Satan would have been completely depopulated," he said, adding that the crusade will take place between 19 and 21 December at MFM Regional Headquarters located at 9, Ajayi Road, Ogba.
Sensitization campaigns have already begun and a march around Ogba area took place on Sunday.
Oseni stated crime had skyrocketed in Nigeria and MFM was ready to assist the government in reducing it in Ogba area.
"We are worried about the extent of crime going on in Nigeria presently and we desire as a church of God to see as much as we can in assisting the government of this country in reducing crime in our own environment," Oseni said, adding that crime can be reduced through evangelism.
"I am aware of the fact that powers of darkness have converted all our major roads to shrines in this environment. We want to pull down all these (shrines)," he said, adding that they are militating against the progress of mankind.
As stated by Oseni, the theme of the crusade, Overcoming The Storm, was inspired from Mark 4:19 and aims at helping Nigerians overcome their personal storms or challenges.
"This environment is loaded with a lot of potentials but majority of the potentials are going through a lot of storm," he said, adding that after the crusade the "whole of Ogba will be delivered from every storm".
The last crusade took place in June this year and the 1st one was held in December 2012.
