The Founder and Presiding Bishop of Living Faith Church Worldwide, Bishop David Oyedepo, has prayed for and laid hands on the Founder of Salvation Ministries, Pastor David Ibiyeomie, and the Founder of The Master’s Place International Church, Pastor Korede Komaiya, during the dedication of a cathedral in Port Harcourt, Rivers State.
The exercise, which took place on Friday at the dedication of the Hand of God Cathedral, was described as a fresh spiritual impartation and renewal of the ministers’ anointing for greater assignments.
According to a statement issued by the Media Unit of Salvation Ministries on Monday, Oyedepo’s prayers and laying of hands on the two clerics symbolised a renewed spiritual mandate and preparation for a new phase of ministry.
“This is not just an ordination, it is a fresh impartation. A fresh oil. A fresh mantle. A fresh fire for a new season,” the statement said.
It further explained that the encounter represented a reaffirmation of their calling and an increase in the spiritual grace upon their ministries.
“When a father lays hands, heaven confirms it. The same fire that was on the altar has fallen again. The anointing has been renewed, the assignment has been reaffirmed, and the glory has increased,” it stated.
The media unit also praised the contributions of Ibiyeomie and Komaiya to evangelism, church expansion and the development of Christian leaders across different communities.
“We celebrate these two mighty vessels whom God has used to raise men, build churches, win souls and spread the Gospel across nations, and now, God is taking them to another level,” it added.
The statement expressed confidence that the renewed impartation would further strengthen their ministries, enhance their preaching and widen their influence.
“From today, expect fresh fire in their preaching, fresh fire in their ministries, fresh fire in their lives, and fresh oil that will never run dry,” the statement said.
Members of Salvation Ministries and The Master’s Place International Church also joined in celebrating the two pastors over what the statement described as a significant spiritual moment.
“What a glorious moment in the Kingdom of God! This renewed impartation and fresh re-ordination would usher in greater dimensions of grace, impact, soul winning and Kingdom exploits,” it noted.
Oyedepo had earlier attended the dedication of Komaiya’s Master City Dreamland and Ibiyeomie’s Hand of God Cathedral, where he commended both clerics for their contributions to Christian ministry.
