ABOUT MOUNTAIN OF FIRE AND MIRACLES MINISTRIES
MFM Ministries is a full gospel ministry devoted to the Revival of Apostolic Signs, Holy Ghost fireworks and the unlimited demonstration of the power of God to deliver to the uttermost.
Absolute holiness within and without as spiritual insecticide and pre-requisite for heaven is openly taught. MFM is a do-it-yourself gospel ministry, where your hands are trained to wage wars, and your fingers are to do battle (Psalm 144:1).
The prophetic meaning of the name, ‘Mountain of Fire and Miracles Ministry’ is aptly depicted by the character of the church’s logo. The red colour stands for tongues of fire, as recorded in Acts 2:5-8, and also the fulfillment of the word of John the Baptist in Matt. 3:11. Without the baptism and revival of fire, none can withstand the challenges of the last days.
The grey (often misconstrued as black), represents the mountain-top, which is a place of victory for every serious saint of God.
When you get to the Mountain top and collect fire, MIRACLES will flow. Thus, MFM is a kingdom Ministry, raised to manifest apostolic standard, through reliance on the Holy Ghost baptism of fire. The purple colour depicts royalty, position and prosperity which symbolizes kingdom rule of the KING OF KINGS, and we whom He had made kings and priests (Rev. 1:6).
The white colour background of the logo represents purity, sanctification and holiness of the church, without which no man shall see the Lord (Heb. 12:14).
The circular line which encloses the logo represents the global world.
At MFM, aggressive prayer is considered as an aid to spiritual focus and a check against being overwhelmed by the flesh. At MFM Prayer City, prayer goes on 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, non-stop.
In the Beginning...
Soon after completing his Ph.D. in the United Kingdom, and while working at the Nigerian Institute of Medical Research, Dr. Daniel Kolawole Olukoya (DKO) summoned a prayer meeting. This was on a Wednesday in 1989. 24 brethren showed up at the meeting. The venue of that meeting was in the living room of DKO.
After that meeting, the voice of providence kept calling for subsequent meetings. At these meetings, the power of God came down and verifiable miracles began to happen in the lives of the attending brethren. The power of God began to evangelise the prayer meetings and a spiritual explosion began with people coming from far and wide to seek the face of God.
With more and more people attending the prayer meetings, a larger location was required. The prayer meetings moved to 60 Old Yaba Road, Yaba, Lagos. Here, the teeming crowd of believers grew in even more amazing proportion necessitating yet another relocation.
The prayer group was offered and purchased an abandoned slum located at 13 Olasimbo Street, Onike, Yaba. It was a fairly large piece of land near the second gate of the University of Lagos. That slum has now been transformed into the International Headquarters of the Mountain of Fire and Miracles Ministries of which Dr. Olukoya is the General Overseer. The name "Mountain of Fire & Miracles Ministries" was revealed to DKO during normal prayer and the church had its first service on April 24, 1994.
Even at the new location, believers and those seeking help kept coming leading to a very large congregation. This situation posed a challenge of crowd, growth and expansion management to the leadership of the church. Thus, under the direction of the Lord, MFM evolved a strategy of a network of branches in every state capital, local government headquarters, senatorial district and locality. Till this day and across the world, MFM branches spring up as one of the fastest growing churches of this generation. International church branches first started in London before spreading to the United States, Canada, the rest of Europe, the Caribbean, Africa and Asia. On every continent, MFM is profoundly visible and greatly impactful.
