Rev Uma Ukpai: Teacher's encounter with preacher
According to the teacher, during his ministration, he commanded people to sleep during his service, and it happened as he said.
Rev Ukpai further said the rest of the congregants would sleep for eight hours, and when she got home, it amazingly happened as he said.
Sapphire added that the cleric also gave a prophecy that seemed impossible, but became a reality. She narrated:
"First time I met Uma Ukpai, his ministration was very different from what I was used to, but none could deny the tangible presence of God.
"He said something about people sleeping during the service and people started sleeping. I, like Sarah, laughed a little. When the people woke up, he said the rest of us would sleep for 8 hours, restful sleep. I slept for 8 hours when I got home , very strange but restful sleep.
"He also gave an impossible prophecy, I laughed, it was impossible but it happened. I learnt to be very careful with this Baba.
I grew very fond of this Baba and his kind of teaching, singing and prophetic ministry. Carefully though, as I wasnt ready for any outrageous prophecies.
"I just got disheartening news about him. But like Paul the apostle said, 'for me, to live is Christ, and to die is gain'. May we all, when the curtains are drawn upon our time in this realm, recieve accolades from the Master.
"Sing with the angels, Baba.
"We'll sing together on that beautiful morning."
