Benin City, Nigeria - Prophetic Prayer Conference 2005
April 4, 2005
The second editon of the Benin City Prophetic Prayer conference ended in a huge sucess.
Benin City had been under a spiritual seige for several years with the activity of occult groups holding sway.The city centre had been taken over by bats.Lawlessness reigned with the influence of thuggery in its peak. The year 2004 and the month of March are significant in a sense. This was when the first edition of the BPPC was held in the ancient city of Benin. That initial edition which came to be in the midst of myriad challenges was born out of a deep-seated burden. There was nothing special about that first conference but its foundation was.
A few years before, God gave Pastor Lemmy a dream in which he saw the late Archbishop Benson Idahosa. The atmosphere was cloudy and there was no mistaking the identity of the late man of God. He called Pastor Lemmy and instructed him to hurry up about getting out enough vessels for the rain that was about to fall. In response to this demand, Pastor Lemmy started running towards a big house that was in view. As he approached the house, the weather began to change. It got darker and windy as he approached the house. On getting to the house, he met a lot of people who were obvious of what was going on outside. In that mood of haste, he began to urge the people to join in getting out vessels for the rain. Some joined but some cared less. As the vessels increase outside, the rain began to fall. It was a very heavy storm.
Which pondering over these things and praying, the Lord began to open up on issues related to the work of ministry in Benin. The burden got stronger and stronger until the Lord made Him see the need to reach out to servants of God in order to rally around the vision.
This is what gave birth to BPPC.
This year the conference started on the friday the first of April with a morning session at 9am.The conference addressed the issue of restoration in the land.A great number of ministers of God who had become fed up with the situation in the city turned up.
By the close of the conference,the core problems had been addressed through prayers.
For the first in the history of the church in Benin City,Pastors from various backgrounds covenanted to watch over the land.Prophecies came to proclaim the rule of the Lord and the tearing down of satanic strongholds.Great peace and excitement came in to confirm the glory of God at the climax of the conference
