U.I PRAYS REVIVAL OUTPOURING – PERSONAL ACCOUNT OF LAWRENCE OYOR (May 13, 2013)

PART A
“He that cometh to God must believe that He is and that He is a rewarder” (Heb 11:6)

This in my opinion, is the bedrock upon which true prayer rests.

The series of accounts told subsequently is an attempt to capture precious moments in travailing prayer, as well as prove that “if there’s a man to pray, there’s a God to answer”.

On the 13th of May 2013, a number of friends as well as myself set our hearts to seek God for His fullness. However we cannot talk about the prayer without talking about the “pre-prayer”. I believe times of prayer can and should be prayed for.

Psalm 141:1 KJV
‘Lord, I cry unto thee: make haste unto me; give ear unto my voice, when I cry unto thee’.

Here we see David praying for a prayer he would later pray. A couple of friends, about five or more in number, gathered to pray 12hrs long in tongues. The prayer burden was simple, that ‘we will pray’. ‘We’ implying as many as the lord would draw the following week.

The prayer meeting started on the set date and was to last for 12hrs for 4days consecutively and then cumulate in a 36hrs prayer during that weekend. All we did was speak in tongues, worship and challenge ourselves on the possibilities in God and the New Creation Man.

We began the prayer and God moved daily among us. By the third day we got a call from O.A.U narrating the story of a meeting in which the spirit of prophecy fell on three persons who spoke saying “I the lord is moving in U.I”. When we heard that, there was much encouragement for us. By the fourth day, we heard angels sing along with us. Some heard a solo, some a duet and yet some a full choir. It was new to us and so very exciting.

The first week was trailed with deep passionate prophetic intercession, sincere worship and strong words that challenged our reality.

Testimonies came in everyday ranging from academic miracles, to financial miracles and healings for people both in attendance and those prayed for in absential. The theme was simple “all things are possible”. As we concluded the last batch of 12hrs prayer on Thursday, the prayer leader asked if we should continue the next week and the whole place resounded with a loud yes! Little did we know that we were at the brink of a spiritual breakthrough.

A few of the brethren (same as earlier) went on to spend 42hrs waiting on God from 6pm on Friday to 6am on Sunday. They were weak, frail and regular gentlemen, but they were thirsty. Passionate for reality and would not settle for anything less. We would later realize that we were not alone in this tireless pursuit. I must say at this point that some of the experiences we had seriously confronted our known theology.

For example there were days when we would be praying and our eyes would be open to see people praying with us and then the people would just vanish. I remember asking to confirm if I alone was seeing this and a number of people confirmed the same experience. This is actually my first time sharing this. It was only last year (2015) that better understanding came. God was trying to bring us into the understanding of a life we would be living as a body soon.

Sometime last year, the Lord told me we would be able to participate in meetings either via “audio or video”(spiritual) and be blessed from any part of the world without being there physically. Grace will be imparted to conquer time, space and matter. By the way, it has already started happening only that a good number of us are either not sensitive or don’t yet understand the experience.

As the days passed, the incentives we got were so much that we couldn’t have stopped. Every new day brought with it a greater awareness and consciousness of His presence. The following week was greeted with more enthusiasm. Only Heaven knew what was coming at us that week.

I humbly seek with every story or testimony, to inspire your hearts again. Kenneth E. Hagin once prophesied that “if the church will believe and pray as the early church believed and prayed, we’ll see as much as the saw and much more”. Glory!!!

PART B
Galatians 6:9; And let us not be weary in well doing: for in due season we shall reap, if we faint not.

I think one of the greatest fuels in times of waiting is hope. Hope keeps you going when all others think you are crazy. And our loving father preserves this hope by showing us what is to come.

The second week was greeted with much enthusiasm. We were sure we were close to hitting something even though we weren’t certain what it was. And so the prayers continued with strong groanings, passionate worship and inspiring sermons. After the Monday round which ended by 6am Tuesday, were beginning to leave when a brother who was part of the meetings but had missed that night came narrating an encounter he had overnight.

He spoke of how he met with Jesus and saw and heard awesome things in heaven. Jesus spoke to him about many things including the campus. He said heaven was happy with our praying and wanted us to do much more. Jesus showed him the state of the campus and wept.

An interesting part of the experience was the translation experience he had wherein he was taken physically to a room on campus where a couple were in the act of immorality. They saw him and ran out of the room. He vanished again from their sight. This was the second translation experience we recorded. Many more were to come as the days went by.

Just hearing that Jesus had taken note of our labor and was proud of us was another fresh push in the spirit. The next night, as we prayed and worshiped, the spirit of prophecy fell on particular persons. One was a sister and the other was a brother. The sister spoke God’s mind concerning several things and these were phone recorded.

The brother’s experience however was more dramatic because his hands began to burn. He was given a mantle and was instructed to impart three people with it. Being a crude person in personality and new to the whole thing, he began acting weirdly as he wanted to get rid of the heat. Until he had imparted all three the fire wasn’t going to stop burning on his hands and head.

The effect of the fire was so much that he began to pour sachets of pure water on his hands and head. This went on for 45mins. Two of the persons had received the impartation by this time. The last person wasn’t in the meeting. We know because he saw the name of the person and began crying that we should contact her to come and receive hers immediately. Anyway she eventually ran down and received her portion.

One interesting thing that happened was when this brother stood by one of the pillars. His head began to smoke. Believe it when I say smoke began coming out from the top of his head. Some persons touched it and felt it electrocute them. A particular brother put his hand to feel it and was knocked down by power and began immediately prophesying. Interestingly we realized later that he quoted scriptures he had no previous knowledge of.

The brother with the fire experience was never to remain the same again as he started seeing very clearly and at such a rate that he had to rush to the school gate to get a note book to write all he was seeing and hearing. He was so overcome by the experience that he began to cry and ask what will become of him. A question I sincerely couldn’t answer at the moment.

I heard later that the smoke thing occurred again while he followed his fellowship for evangelism. It was clear to see in the bright afternoon. I believe this was just a tip of the iceberg as believers will soon be seen walking around with fire literally on their heads. The experience that shook us the most was the corporate baptism that took place on the Thursday session of that week.

Very early on Friday morning while we were listening to a charge on faith, angels appeared in the sky and could be seen by everyone. The clouds took the form of multiplied tongues of fire, the clouds gathered again and took the form of a throne and later on a crown. As we beheld these sights, the power hit us all. I’ve never felt God’s power that way before because it was as though I was inside a river of electricity that I could literally feel. The meeting was disrupted for about 45mins as people began breaking into individual encounters.

We gathered again together and decided to go to every hall to speak of Jesus and off we went at about 5am. I clearly remember someone who tried to touch me that morning and was electrified by the charges. It was just amazing. Anyway by the next day, the news had gone round and many more people came to see what God was doing.

As I’m writing this, I can still feel the atmosphere of some of the meetings and it is causing me to hunger again afresh for more.

In the next and final account, I will just highlight some of the most unbelievable testimonies and experiences ranging from miracle finance, translations, power evangelism, angelic assistance and soon. It’s been two years now and the offshoots of the meetings have not stopped. Nobody remains the same after a definite encounter with Yahweh. Child of God, anything is possible.
