I AM A LIVING TESTIMONYTHAT MFM IS REAL HOW I WAS ARRESTED BY THE GOD OF OLUKOYA - Davidson Olaniran Adejuwon -

My name is Davidson Olaniran Adejuwon. I am a legal practitioner and I have been practicing now for 10 years. I started my legal career under Dr Olisa Agbakoba, SAN in 2010 as an intern, there after as a Corps member and later as a Junior Associate before I left in 2014. Now, I have my own private practice and I have also been serving as the Legal Adviser to MFM worldwide since May 2016 till date. But do you know that about 20 years ago, I WAS A COMPLETE VAGABOND AND A HOMELESS WHARF RAT here in Lagos? My story is an interesting one which I can best titled: “HOW I WAS ARRESTED BY THE GOD OF OLUKOYA”. It all started in 2002 when I was sleeping inside Apapa Wharf (as a homeless wharf rat, resting on a carton of fish spread as a mat by the side of Berth 8 where Dangote Salt factory is located) on a particular

Sunday afternoon and I heard the voice God telling me how I wasting away in spite of my loaded potentials and how the Devil has concluded plans to finish me up if I continue to play smart outside His (God's) will. I agreed with him that day and I surrendered my life to Him. The next question I asked Him was simple. “what would you want me to do next?” His response was very direct. “Go and search for that church you made jest of some years back when you were travelling out of Lagos. That is where I will transform your life and remold you for my use.” What was the church I was making jest of? Mountain of Fire and Miracles Ministries (MFM) which I saw their name for the first time on the Prayer City fence while travelling out of Lagos in the year 2000.

I did not only successfully govern the Great OAU community as a Student leader without any form of casualty despites several protests and encounters with the Police and Cultists, I also graduated with a very good grade (Second Class Upper) and then proceeded to Law School without any hitch whatsoever. Do you know that Dr Olukoya also approved the sum of N100,000.00 to support my school fees at Law School? These are the only two occasions I have written to him for school fees as a member of MFM and I got his fatherly blessing in monetary terms towards my schooling. I completed my Law School program successfully and came back to Lagos for my NYSC. At this time, MFM Apapa was made a Region and I became the Youth Pastor for the Region since then till I was later appointed as the Legal Adviser to the MFM worldwide, working directly with Daddy G.O. My legal practice has been booming and blossoming all the way but it got so much boost when I pledged a vow of 200,000.00 to the Mountain Top University Endowment Fund in the year 2015. I started to get brief to the tune of half a million naira and my clientele increased considerably well. Today, I hold a Master Degree in Law (LL.M). I am happily married to Elizabeth and we are blessed with a baby girl, Royalty. Do you also know that Daddy G.O. fully sponsored my wedding and also gave me monetary gifts afterwards for my honeymoon? To the glory of God that brought me to MFM to change my destiny, today, I am no longer homeless. As a matter of fact, I am no longer a tenant as I now live in my own Duplex with my family. I think you can now agree with me when I said that I AM A LIVING
