unturned in their bid to get political positions in the
upcoming 2015 general elections. Politicians from all
walks of life are now trooping daily to a prophet on a
mountain in Kaduna to seek power to win elections.
They go to the mountain at dusk under the cover of
night for prayers and blessings for smooth sail in the
general elections, leaving at dawn after a hectic all-
night prayer session.
The holy mountain, located off Patrick Ibrahim
Yakowa Way in the Eastern flank of Kaduna
metropolis, is a beehive of activities, particularly on
Fridays when people go there to seek deliverance
during vigil. This much was disclosed by the General
Overseer of Christ's Vision Ministries, Rev Samuel
Taiwo Deji, who told Saturday Sun in a chat that he
has so far spent three years, living on the mountain,
all alone as directed by God to deliver and heal
people who are suffering from one problem or the
other. Reverend Deji, 59, who is a Professor of
theology in Christian education, said he decided to
name the mountain, Jesus Mountain, "because
nobody comes here without receiving one miracle or
the other".
According to the Ekiti State- born man of God:
"Politicians from every part of the country come to
me on this mountain; they keep vigil here, praying to
God for blessings in the next elections and other
blessings in their lives. "They normally leave at dawn
after the vigil, and I have assured them that their
prayers have been answered by God, but warned
them that political party differences will cause bias
against the commoners, and, therefore, they should
work for the sole interest of the common people and
the unity of the country. "I always encourage
politicians to come here for deliverance because all of
them are under heavy spiritual attack. In fact, I
advise that President Goodluck Jonathan, even the
American President, Barack Obama should come to
this mountain for prayers, and they will meet the
Lord.
"I am not a prophet of doom, so I cannot say that
2015 elections will be bloody, and interestingly
enough, God has not revealed it to me that it will be
bloody. If God has revealed to anybody that the
election will be bloody, my duty here on the
mountain is to cancel such looming doom in the
name of Jesus". However, speaking with an aura of
confidence and total belief in the efficacy of his
prayers and visions, Prophet Deji, who is married
with seven children, said the first one year he stayed
on the mountain, he was tormented by wild animals,
particularly lions and snakes.
He, however, disclosed that like the biblical Daniel in
the lion's den, he was never hurt by any of the wild
animals, adding that on several occasions, scorpions
have invaded his resting place, a container, on the
mountain. Apart, from the menace of reptiles and
wild animals, he said hoodlums also invaded the
place each time he was away, carting away some of
his personal belongings in the day time.
"I want to tell you that I have so far spent three years
on this mountain, but the first one year was full of
challenges, a lion confronted me here, focusing its
eyes on me as if it is halogen light, it walked away. I
don't have gun, God is my gun. "Also, snakes,
scorpions and other reptiles entered my resting place
and clothes, but they did not harm me. "Apart from
these animals, sometimes bad boys whom I will call
hoodlums come here to loot my resting place,
remove my valuables like mattress, handsets among
other things. But may God forgive them for they do
not know what they are doing."
At the time of having this interview with the prophet,
our correspondent met some people who came for
deliverance as well as to appreciate the man of God
for the efficacy of his visions and prayers. One of
them, Adebiyi Salami said: "I was down with
unidentified illness and I had been to several
hospitals, no solution, I couldn't drive my car. But
when I came to the mountain, I was healed, I can now
drive my car.
This is why I have come to appreciate the prophet".
For Martha Emmanuel, a mother of a child, "the
prophet sees vision very well, his prayers are
working, and he healed my child of headache with
just a handkerchief". Another worshipper, Charity
Bature said: "This is my second week that I have
been coming to the mountain. I am no longer worried
about my problems because God has assured me
through the man of God that my problems are over. I
used to be too worried, but I am now relaxed". John
Toluwalase said: "God has been able to deliver me
from a lot of challenges since I have been visiting the
man of God on this mountain."
