In the era of stage managed miracles by fake pastors who
parade themselves as men of God, it is hard to tell which of
them are really sent by God. But this was not for Suraju, a
popular beggar at Ketu bus-stop in Lagos who according to
eye witnesses got healed by a Deeper Life Bible Church
pastor who identified himself as Pastor Enahoro.
Saturday Sun gathered that the cripple often crawls to a
particular place where he begs passers-by for his daily bread
prior to his healing.
Speaking to our correspondent, the pastor who performed the
miracle said that he had noticed the man for weeks and was
moved with compassion to pray for him.
“Anytime I pass this area, I noticed that he normally begs at
this spot. That was about three weeks ago. By God’s grace, I
saw him and I pitied his situation and I prayed to God to give
me the grace to pray for this man.
“At a certain time, I stood for some minutes looking at him
but talking to God on how I will go about it. But after that
very day of praying, I summoned the courage. I told God that
this is not the ministry of delivering insane people which He
called me to do.
“I told God to bless me with other ministry so that I can help
people. So it was today I saw him but I had a particular mis
sion to go to Adekunle area to look for a particular man who
was insane to pray for him and so by the grace of God, as I
was contemplating whether I should go or not, I just went to
him with boldness believing God that a miracle would
happen. So I went to him and asked him how long he had
been in that situation and whether he would like to walk
again, I kept asking him. He just said no to all the questions.
It was then I knew he could not understand English.
“Then I saw somebody, a guy pushing a wheel barrow who I
believed understood Hausa. I told him to help me tell the
man that I would want to pray for him and would want him to
walk. He did as I told him and the man still said no, that was
when I knew it was not just language barrier but the activities
of darkness. Then I prayed for him and miraculously, he
walked,” he said.
Another witness, Shola who was among the crowd awed by
the miracle told our correspondent that he knew the beggar.
“I know this beggar. For a long time now, he has been
begging for money at this particular spot, from morning till
late at night. Honestly, this is my first time to see such a
miracle,” he said.
Speaking through a translator, the man who was healed said
he hails from Kastina State and has been a cripple and begged
for alms for 27 years.
