Man's old chats with Uma Ukpai trends
Obioma added that heaven has gained a patriarch with Ukpai's death. He wrote:
"I dont know why i just clicked Papa Uma’s message icon and heres what i found. Papa Uma prayed for me in 2013, almost 12 years ago. I have even forgotten it until now. Heaven has gained a patriarch! Dr. UMA UKPAI."
The chats started in February 2013, and at the time Obioma entered Ukpai's DM to request his account details so he could sow a seed into his life.
The cleric released his account details and prayed that Obioma's seed would speak for him in his time of need.
At another time, Obioma informed Ukpai that he wanted to sow another seed, and this time for an unmerited breakthrough.
In 2016, Obioma chatted up Ukpai to testify about what his prayers did in his life.
"Your prayers have helped me. Today, I am married with a daughter, I am living in my own house and have two cars. But I know God can still take me higher. I want another prayer from you, sir."
The preacher replied with prayers for him.
"I declare, breakthroughs are coming in your life for 2016, sudden bursts of God's goodness from every corner. Not a drop but a flood of God's power. A flood of God's healing, a flood of God's wisdom and a flood of God's favour in the name that is above every other name, in Jesus name. Amen. Be a Partner and remain connected to your collections in life."
