Eternal Redemption Grace Ministry: Journey So Far – General Overseer
“The journey to the eventual opening of a spiritual home to take care of persons with affliction in the society was long and tortuous but it was worthwhile,” the General Overseer, Prophetess Sarah Nwankwo Wigodo said.
She said it is worthy to note that some men/women of God are called by God to do his work and they complied immediately, while others are called but they refused and are forced to do the work as in her own case while some others called themselves perhaps as a result of the inherit benefits and/or lack of employment.
The worship centre known as the Eternal Redemption Grace Ministry (aka Solution Ground) which was commissioned on December 20, 2019 according to her has recorded landmark achievements since its inception.
Speaking with newsmen over the weekend during one of its services at No.103B Anozie Street, Mile II Diobu, Port Harcourt base, the General Overseer (G.O) of the ministry, prophetess Wigodo said God has been using her mightily to bless and deliver many persons who are in bondage.
She narrated however, that the task has not been easy, “Though I was hearing voices and sometimes got prophesies but I was too shy to say them out publicly. I was born and brought up at the Eternal Sacred Order of the Cherubim & Seraphim Church (ESOCS), a seamstress by profession but it was a difficult task to answer the call”, she said.
The woman of God disclosed that because of the spiritual disturbances she encountered in course of her refusal to do God’s work, she briefly left her Cherubim Church for other Pentecostal churches and yet had no peace of mind.
“At a point, our Resident Pastor will be referring to me as a woman of God, stressing that God is actually urging me to do His work or else I will suffer the consequences like the biblical Jonah. This I was not comfortable with,” she said.
For 23 years she recalled that she was running from pillar to post suffering from one health challenge or the other and was always in and out of hospitals without solution in sight.
Prophetess Wigodo stated that the affliction eventually got to her business area as everything crumbled before she agreed to adhere to the divine instruction. “I called on all my customers to come and collect back their materials and money deposited with me, that I was no longer into business,” she recalled.
“The most touchy one was when I refused to deliver the dying father of my bosom friend through a prophecy and prayers as I was directed to do but as a result of my stubbornness and disobedience to do God’s work, I neglected the assignment and the man eventually died the following day and I felt guilty of killing him,” she said.
The General Overseer (G.O)said she reluctantly returned to her original church, ESOCS at No.9 Akokwa Street, Mile II Diobu, Port Harcourt as a prodigal son to worship.
“It was there some prominent men and women of God in a bible class which topic was “disobedience and not fearing God” reconfirmed to me that God is actually calling on me to do. His work after I narrated my experience to them which coincide with the topic of discussion.” She said all the short cut solution she applied to avoid the full time opening of a Church Ministry could not assuage the situation.
“Until she reluctantly complied with God’s directives and today all her health and other challenges are gone and by the grace of God she has not been disappointed too in anyway.
Prophetess Wigodo said though she and her family members are still members of ESOCS church, they have been supportive in maintaining the ministry every Friday in obedience and to the glory of God.
