The Head of Uma Ukpai Evangelistic Association (UUEA), Reverend Dr. Uma Ukpai has narrated a story on how kidnappers gave him poison to drink in 1976.
The Reverend shared this story to show that once you are genuinely born again, you are an important voice to God, you will not be an ordinary person. As a believer, you are never alone. We learnt from the story that the kidnappers ended up begging for their lives.
According to Rev. Dr. Uma Ukpai from 4 minutes into the video: “In 1976, I was among the first people to be kidnapped in the Eastern part of Niger Delta. I was invited to preach the Word in that zone when it happened.
“On our way, my wife and I were kidnapped. They took us to their hideout and asked me to bring every money on me and the key to my car. I said to them that the only problem I have is that the man who gave me the key and the money lives in Heaven, I won’t give you a Kobo until I hear from Him.
They got upset and brought a liquid in a cup for me to drink. The liquid was a poison. They told me once I drank from the cup, I will hear God asking me to gave them my money and car.
“I collected the cup and said to the cup, ‘thou cup, I drink you as tea and if you choose to do otherwise, whatever you see, don’t blame me’. As I drank the liquid, they were expecting me to die but I was looking at them and they were looking at me. On the dot of midnight, I told them it was my own turn to demonstrate the power of the kingdom I serve.
“I told them that I will pray a short prayer and 7 of them will die in 3 minutes. They began to beg me. My wife was angry with me because they have opened the door for us to go. My wife didn’t see the 7 Angels God sent for us. You need to see how they were begging for their lives.
