Miracle Healing in Africa

Many people have a question about the role of Christian religion in Nigeria. In response to this question, Olukoya wrote a book titled Satanic Diversion of the Black Race. Olukoya defines Christianity as a religion that originated in Africa and was abandoned in favor of idolatry. It is a universal sin. Christian missionaries in Nigeria, however, must be aware of the historical context of their conversion.

Throughout the New Testament, Jesus called and ordained the twelve apostles, or disciples. These men were to proclaim the word of God to the world. The apostles were also to be obedient to the Holy Spirit, which they were given by the Father. In addition, they were to be dedicated to the Lord, whom they believed. They were not to betray him. The apostles, meanwhile, were to be faithful to their role and the teachings of Christ.

Among evangelicals, C. Peter Wagner and John Wimber developed charismatic movements, which were widely accepted. They both took their ideas and tested them in controversial courses at Fuller’s School of Missions. These movements were fueled by charismatic Christians, who have grown exponentially. Their ideas and practices emphasized prayer as the weapon of spiritual warfare and a central means of redemptive praxis. These evangelical movements are increasingly mainstream and have risen to half a billion people.

African Christians have a powerful faith in God. Their faith is accompanied by countless miracles and a belief in God. Miracle healings and other manifestations of God’s power are common, confirming the gospel and demonstrating the power of the Almighty. Moreover, stories of Jesus’ visions result in conversions, protection, and deliverance from attack. The Christian faith is the core of African culture. So, despite the opposition of missionaries, African Christians have a powerful faith in God.
