The Governor of Edo State, Mr. Monday Okpebholo, recently shared a powerful personal testimony about his journey to healing during a heartfelt address to the congregation of the Living Word Conquerors Global Assembly.
This assembly is led by the esteemed Bishop David Abioye, the Bishop who left Living Faith Church Worldwide, and the event took place on Saturday, July 25, as part of a special program aptly named “Night of Peace.”
During his speech, Governor Okpebholo recounted the struggles he faced with a long-standing illness that had significantly affected his quality of life.
He described how his failing health led him to seek the guidance and prayers of Bishop Abioye several years ago, hoping for a miraculous turnaround. The encounter with the Bishop proved to be life-changing, ultimately leading to his healing.
In his address, the Governor reflected on the impact that Bishop Abioye’s prayers and encouragement had on his well-being, expressing deep gratitude for the transformative experience.
Notably, this moment of sharing his healing journey comes at a time when he has recently faced criticism online for his confrontational stance regarding the visit of Mr. Peter Obi to Edo State. Nonetheless, Okpebholo’s focus during the event remained on the message of hope and faith that he experienced through his connection with Bishop Abioye.
He said, “In 2007 I was very sick. I had tried every means to get healing no solution. So I came to the Bishop. Someone gave me a note to meet him.
“I was in front of the office. Bishop came out and said in the presence of a lot of people, we were about 30. And he said, may the Lord heal you with testimonies in your mouth. That was the end of the sickness’
Okpebholo said after that experience some people came to meet him urging him to contest for the Senate. He toyed with the idea but said in his heart that he would not “share it with mummy (wife of Bishop Abioye) because she was always telling me don’t go into politics.”
He said however that he was still bothered about the thought of contesting that he decided to share it with Bishop Abioye while also praying that he would not be directed to his wife..
When he got to Abioye, he was asked to kneel down. He recalled, “Bishop said, you want to contest? He then said from primary 1 to primary 2 peace. That was it. That is the same peace of tonight”
He said further that those who were at the event would become channels of peace because they have gotten an impartation and “it will go a long way.”
After sharing his testimony Bishop Abioye stepped on the rostrum and asked the congregation to pray for him. He then prayed for him asking that God would give him favour and wisdom to rule Edo State.
