Known as the largest healing crusade of this century, the event is God’s strategy to fulfill his well known desire, see his children hale and hearty, and a response to the threat posed by the hijack of the world’s healthcare institutions and the prevalence of manufactured illnesses and diseases in today’s world.
At the last edition of the program in October 2023, Pastor Chris Oyakhilome stated, “Some people think sickness is a natural cause, but it is not! If you study well about any and every sickness, disease, or infirmity, you will find out it takes its root from unnatural sources. There is nothing natural about sickness; let no man deceive you”. He further assured over six billion participants connected to the service globally that, “God is not intimidated by your questions or doubts; He has answers for you in his Word! The scripture records in John 17:23 (KJV) that God loves you as much as He loves Jesus. If that is true, you will never be sick again. Make up your mind never to be sick, poor, or broke in your life ever again.”
The preparations for this edition are at full throttle, and the world is already buzzing with excitement and expectations as countless individuals, ministers, and partners from all corners of the globe unite to spread the word and ready the world and all that’s in it for the glorious deluge of healing and blessings that would inevitably occur at the program!

Single mom Jerelyn James’ life took a drastic turn for the worse one fateful night in 2018 when she was attacked in her home by armed assailants. The assault left her with a broken spine, paralyzed, and in a world of excruciating. Multiple surgeries, months of hospital stays, and treatments later, Jerelyn’s debilitating condition was unchanged and continued to deteriorate. “My children had to carry me like a baby to use the toilet, urinate, bathe, feed, and more for five years. I was in such terrible pain and had to take lots of medication. I couldn’t sit upright without help or do anything for myself. It was a bleak time; I was in such despair that I even asked God what I was living for?” she recounts.
Puzzled at the lack of results, Jerelyn’s case was brought to the attention of a top-notch team of local and international doctors, who eventually recommended that she be flown outside her country posthaste for another surgery. She was advised that the probability of success was iffy at best because most of her organs were severely damaged. It was in this state that news of the Healing Streams reached her. Her moment of divine intervention came as she watched the program from her home in Liberia. When Pastor Chris declared, “Receive strength; you are healed to the global audience, she recalls she felt a burst of strength that propelled her to her feet for the first time in years.
“I stood up almost instantly, and everything, including my spine, was straight. I never felt that way in my life before. God healed me perfectly. All the bed sores and symptoms have disappeared, and today I am whole!” – she affirms.
Just like Jerelyn, Ignatius Da Silver from Pune, India, suddenly suffered a brain hemorrhage one night that left him incapacitated with a loss of memory, coordination, and speech. Diagnosed with left hemorrhagic stroke and fatty liver disease, Ignatius could not walk unaided, suffered numbness in his face, was plagued by insomnia and bowel incontinence, could not coordinate his limbs, had trouble speaking and comprehending, was constantly nauseous, underweight and more.
All recourse to find a lasting cure medically proved futile until he heard about the Healing Streams Live Healing Services and attended the program, expecting a miracle. His moment of total restoration came when the man of God, Pastor Chris, called out his name and commanded healing to his body. Instantly, something passed out of my body, and I knew I was healed! My skin was glowing, and the severe pain was gone as if it had never existed. -Ignatius narrates. Today, Ignatius is living proof that the Word of God is true. He can control his bowels, run, walk, talk, eat well, comprehend perfectly, and do all he couldn’t do before.
Testimonies like Ignatius and Jerelyn’s abound of countless people whose faith in God’s word and His power yielded such remarkable healing miracles that, to date, they still confound the minds of men and the predictions of medical science. You, too, can receive your miracle! It doesn’t matter how long, impossible, or dire the situation or illness is. God’s Word is supreme, and the name of Jesus Christ has all authority to eradicate any ailment and turn every situation around for your good. All you have to do is believe!

The Nigerian electricity sector slowed in the fourth quarter of 2024 (Q4 2024), with the electricity production index declining by 1.64% year-on-year (y-o-y).
Data from the Central Bank of Nigeria (CBN) says this marks a reversal from the 5.55% growth recorded in the third quarter of 2024 (Q3 2024).
Average estimated electricity generation rose by 2.34% to 4,206.50 megawatts per hour (MW/h) from 4,110.47 MW/h in Q3 2024.
Similarly, electricity consumption saw a modest increase of 2.63%, reaching 4,105.66 MW/h from 4,000.24 MW/h in the preceding quarter.
This is as the Nigerian economy witnessed widespread expansion in the fourth quarter of 2024 (Q4 2024), with 21 out of 22 subsectors recording positive growth.
On a quarter-on-quarter (q-o-q) basis, however, the subsector showed signs of recovery, as the index rose by 22.50% compared to a significant decline of 49.46% in the previous quarter.
The broad-based economic expansion in Q4 2024 can be attributed to several factors, including improved business confidence, increased consumer spending, and enhanced performance in key sectors such as agriculture, manufacturing, and telecommunications.
The government’s fiscal and monetary policies, aimed at stabilising inflation and boosting investment, also contributed to the positive momentum.
According to the CBN, the improvement was largely attributed to enhanced gas supply to thermal power stations and the continued implementation of the Siemens Power Project, which has positively impacted power generation, transmission, and distribution networks.
Notably, the oil and gas sector benefited from relatively stable crude oil prices and improved domestic production, which provided a boost to overall economic output.
The data also stated that the non-oil sector, particularly fintech and digital services, also played a significant role in driving economic activities.
The Alliance of Sahel States (AES) comprising junta-led Mali, Niger Republic, and Burkina Faso have imposed a 0.5 percent import duty on goods from the Economic Community of West African States (ECOWAS) member nations.
The move further strains relations between the three junta-led nations and the ECOWAS, which they withdrew from earlier this year following a series of military coups and economic sanctions.
The AES, which began as a security pact between the military rulers of the three countries in 2023, has now metamorphosed into an aspiring economic union with plans for biometric passports and closer economic and military ties.
In a joint statement last week, the AES said the levy aims to generate revenue to fund the alliance’s activities.
The tax, which came into effect on Friday, applies to all imports from ECOWAS countries, except humanitarian aid.
The taxes also disrupt the free trade once enjoyed by all countries in the West African region.
The economic implications could be severe, leading to higher consumer prices, supply chain disruptions, and strained regional economic stability.
While it may provide short-term revenue for the junta-led governments, it risks other long-term consequences, including weakened regional integration.
ECOWAS has maintained that it will keep diplomatic channels open with the junta-led states until July, despite announcing their permanent expulsion from the bloc earlier this year.
Monday Okpebholo, the governor of Edo state, says 14 suspects arrested in connection with the killing of Kano-bound travellers in Uromi LGA of the state have been transferred to Abuja for further interrogation.
The suspects were detained after a mob attacked a group of hunters travelling to Kano for Sallah celebrations on Thursday.
Speaking in Abuja on Monday during a condolence visit to Barau Jibrin, the deputy senate president, Okpebholo condemned the attack and assured Nigerians that those responsible would be brought to justice.
Okpebholo also announced that his government had set up a committee to support the families of those killed.
“It’s unfortunate that it happened in our state. We are here to say, to let you and other people know that we are not happy,” Ismail Mudashir, media aide to Barau, quoted Okpebholo as saying.
“The president is doing something drastic about this. He’s not happy also.
“The IG has swung into action. The DIG CID is in charge. So far, they have arrested 14 suspects.
“So they are bringing them to Abuja for interrogation. We have also set up a committee to see that we take care of the families of the deceased.”
Responding, Barau said the perpetrators of the act must be brought to book to serve as a deterrent to others.
“We cannot undo what has been done. But we all want – all Nigerians, what they are looking forward to is to make sure that these people are arrested and brought to justice. And you are doing well in that direction,” Barau said.
“And I’m also glad you’ve spoken about the fact that your government is ready to assist the families of those affected.
“I want you to continue to pursue the case so that all those who were involved in these barbaric actions are brought to justice. It’s a barbaric action, to say the facts.”
He urged the Edo government to ensure all those involved were held accountable, adding that such attacks must never happen again.
