Mountain of Fire and Miracles
Ministries is a full gospel ministry devoted to the Revival of Apostolic Signs,
Holy Ghost fireworks and the unlimited demonstration of the power of God to
deliver to the uttermost.
Absolute holiness within and without
as the greatest spiritual insecticide and a pre-requisite for Heaven is taught
openly. MFM is a do-it-yourself Gospel ministry where your hands are trained to
wage war and your fingers to do battle.
At MFM, aggressive prayer is
considered as an aid to spiritual focus and a check against being overwhelmed
by the flesh. At MFM Prayer City, prayer goes on 24 hours a day, 7 days a week,
non-stop.
IN THE BEGINNING...
Soon after completing his Ph.D. in the United Kingdom, and while
working at the Nigerian Institute of Medical Research, Dr. Daniel Kolawole
Olukoya (DKO) summoned a prayer meeting. This was on a Wednesday in 1989. 24
brethren showed up at the meeting. The venue of that meeting was in the living
room of DKO.
After that meeting, the voice of providence kept calling for
subsequent meetings. At these meetings, the power of God came down and
verifiable miracles began to happen in the lives of the attending brethren. The
power of God began to evangelise the prayer meetings and a spiritual explosion
began with people coming from far and wide to seek the face of God.
With more and more people attending the prayer meetings, a larger
location was required. The prayer meetings moved to 60 Old Yaba Road, Yaba,
Lagos. Here, the teeming crowd of believers grew in even more amazing
proportion necessitating yet another relocation.
The prayer group was offered and purchased an abandoned slum
located at 13 Olasimbo Street, Onike, Yaba. It was a fairly large piece of land
near the second gate of the University of Lagos. That slum has now been
transformed into the International Headquarters of the Mountain of Fire and
Miracles Ministries of which Dr. Olukoya is the General Overseer. The name
"Mountain of Fire & Miracles Ministries" was revealed to DKO
during normal prayer and the church had its first service on April 24, 1994.
Even at the new location, believers and those seeking help kept
coming leading to a very large congregation. This situation posed a challenge
of crowd, growth and expansion management to the leadership of the church.
Thus, under the direction of the Lord, MFM evolved a strategy of a network of
branches in every state capital, local government headquarters, senatorial
district and locality. Till this day and across the world, MFM branches spring
up as one of the fastest growing churches of this generation. International
church branches first started in London before spreading to the United States,
Canada, the rest of Europe, the Caribbean, Africa and Asia. On every continent,
MFM is profoundly visible and greatly impactful.
- To propagate the gospel of our Lord Jesus Christ all over the
world
- To promote the revival of Apostolic signs, wonders and
miracles
- To bring together children of God who are lost in dead
churches
- To train believers in the art and science of spiritual
warfare; thus making them an aggressive and victorious army for the Lord
- To train believers to receive Holy Ghost baptism and fire as
well as a daily walk and relationship with the Holy Spirit
- To turn the joy of our enemies to sorrow. That is why we
would always have a Deliverance ministry
wherever we are. If you do not believe in deliverance, you are not
supposed to be in MFM
- To build an aggressive end-time army for the Lord. MFM is an
end-time church where we build an aggressive end-time army for the Lord
What is
an end-time church? An end-time church is a church
where a sinner enters with two options: he either repents or does not come
back, contrary to the present day church where sinners are comfortable and
find things so easy and convenient
- To deliver those who have become slaves to pastors, prophets
and apostles
- To build up heavenly-bound and aggressive Christians. The
priority in MFM is for people to make heaven. It is not a worldly Church
- To build up prayer eagles
- To purify the Pentecostal dirtiness of this age
WHAT WE BELIEVE
- The Scriptures are the inspired Word of God; the only basis
for our faith and fellowship
- The One True God, ETERNAL EXISTENT in three Persons. God The
Father, God The Son and The Holy Spirit
- The fall and deprivation of mankind, necessitating redemption
through the Blood of Jesus Christ
- The Salvation of Mankind is through the Redeeming Work of Jesus
Christ and the Regenerative Work of the Holy Spirit. Sanctification is
seen as an act of separation from that which is evil
- The Baptism of the Holy Spirit - Acts 2:4; 10:44 and 19:1-6
- Restitution for past wrongs where possible
- The Ordinance of the Church, the Lord's Supper and Water
Baptism
- The Church Universal, both visible and invisible
- The Ministry, divinely called and scripturally ordained as
that approved of Almighty God
- Divine healing as provided by the Lord Jesus Christ
- The Rapture ushering all believers into the Marriage Supper
of the Lamb, and the second advent of the Lord Jesus Christ when He will
physically land on the earth
- The Millennial Reign of Christ
- The Final Judgment
- The New Heaven and Earth
Founder
DR. DANIEL OLUKOYA

| Dr. Daniel Kolawole Olukoya (DKO) |
Dr. Daniel Kolawole Olukoya (DKO) was
born in Akure, Ondo State, Nigeria to Mr. Olukoya, a Police officer and Mrs.
Olukoya, a trader. While registered at St. John’s CAC Primary School, Akure, he
was recognized as an exceptionally intelligent child coming tops throughout his
stay at the school. Later when his family moved to Lagos, he was enrolled at
St. Jude’s Primary school, Ebute metta from which he graduated with excellent
results.
DKO then proceeded to Methodist Boys’
High School (MBHS), Broad Street, Lagos (established in 1878). Incidentally,
this is where he became born again. It was also at MBHS that he encountered an
Indian teacher who once said in class “Boys, if you want to escape poverty,
READ YOUR BOOK!” DKO doggedly followed this advice, studying from 9pm to 3am
daily. By the time DKO finished from MBHS, he was the best graduating student
of his set.
In 1976, DKO was admitted into the
University of Lagos (Unilag) to study Microbiology. He graduated from Unilag in
1980 with a first-class degree in Microbiology. He was the first person to have
achieved a first-class in the course at the university and his G.P.A is still
the highest recorded so far (as at February 2010) in that course.
Soon after graduation, DKO won a
scholarship to study for a Doctor of Philosophy (PhD) degree in Molecular
Genetics at the University of Reading, United Kingdom. Despite the natural
difficulty of the programme, DKO earned his PhD in 3 years and returned to
Nigeria.
Upon his return to Nigeria, DKO joined
the Nigerian Institute of Medical Research (NIMR), Yaba, where his reputation
as an exceptional Geneticist of African origin became established. DKO emerged
as an authority in the study of genetics, publishing over 70 scientific papers
in a short span (a remarkable feat by any standard). He also taught Genetics
and was external examiner in a number of universities. Moreover, he has
attended and presented papers at scientific conferences in almost all
continents of the world. Even today, DKO continues to contribute to the field
of genetics and biotechnology via the Daniel & Fola Biotechnology
Foundation, a registered NGO established to empower Nigerian citizens with
modern and contemporary laboratory skills in Molecular Biology and
Biotechnology.
DKO’s father, apart from being a
policeman, was also a pastor at the Christ Apostolic Church (CAC). Thus, he was
raised in a Christian home with Christian beliefs. Throughout all his years in
school, DKO was committed to the service of the Lord Jesus Christ. His passion
for Jesus and his spiritual fire increased tremendously during his doctorate
degree in the United Kingdom. DKO’s ministry is heavily influenced by the work
of the late Apostle Joseph Ayodele Babalola, the founder of the CAC church. In
the dedication pages of the Prayer Rain and Prayer Passport books, DKO writes
of Apostle Babalola:
“Apostle Joseph Ayodele Babalola was a
minister of God who understood the power of prayer. He was a man mightily used
by God to ignite the fire of the first Christian revival in Nigeria in the
1930s. Brother J.A. and his team of aggressive prayer warriors entered
forbidden forests, silenced demons that demanded worship and paralysed deeply
rooted, anti-gospel activities. Sometimes, beginning from the highest places,
they openly disgraced satanic agents, emptied hospitals by the healing power of
the Lord Jesus Christ, rendered witchdoctors jobless, and they started the
first indigenous Holy Ghost filled church in Nigeria. So far – and we stand to
be corrected – none has equalled, let alone surpassed this humble brother in
the field of aggressive evangelism in this country.”
The works of Dr. Daniel Olukoya are
published by the Battle Cry Christian Ministries. These published works include
over 250 life-changing Christian books (as at July 2015), audio tapes and CDs,
video discs and many more.
