OPEN HEAVENS DELIVERANCE AND PROPHETIC CHURCH INTERNATIONAL

BIOGRAPHY

In the middle 70s of the nineteenth century, precisely on the 7th August, a son was born into the family of Mr & Mrs STEPHEN UKPETENAN of the great Benin kingdom in Edo State, Nigeria, West Africa. Although this child grew up in Benin City, surrounded by idol worshippers, his mother knew there existed a greater power and always prayed that her son would grow into the knowledge, of the God who created the heavens, the earth and everyone on it. These prayers of a faithful and fervent mother for a loving son led him to the Assembly of God Church, where he received Christ.

Still spiritually unfulfilled, as a babe in Christ, he was led into the world, like Saul of (Tasus) fulfilling the desires of the flesh for several years during which some of his business ventures prospered while most of them resulted into failure. Whilst there, in 1999, he began to hear a voice within him saying, “You will be my servant” Since this was not his intention, he decided to ignore the voice, and few years later chose to move out of his country, thinking that by doing so, he would run away from the voice of God.

While in the wilderness abroad, far away from his continent and country, relying so much on his skills and mental abilities, he ventured into more forms of businesses which all ended up in debt and without peace of mind, he found himself totally broken, with no choice but to depend on the grace of God, he finally yielded, saying, “Lord, I will go! “I will go wherever you want me to go” He said. And here marked the beginning of a definite relationship with God. ” He asked for signs to confirm that this was indeed God’s call. The first confirmation came through the Bible passages of Jeremiah 1:4-10. The Lord assured him that He would provide for all his needs, as he would not receive any salary from that point on. This proved to be a comforting reminder during the trials in the years ahead.

In 2010, He was in Thailand he started a house fellowship with the RCCG which grew by the grace GOD. He relocated to Malaysia in 2011 to continue the house fellowship before he later join his mentor Pastor Felix Ameachi, the General Overseer of Mount Zion Ministry international here in Malaysia. Just like the life of our Lord and Saviour, Jesus Christ who went on few years after He was born to work in the vineyard as a carpenter, Apostle Famous, applied his God given talents, skills and industrial knowledge to the service of God and humanity in general at Mount Zion Ministry International under the anointed leadership of Pastor Felix Ameachi, with whom he had an excellent ‘’Father and Son’’ relationship.

As a mark of dedication, spiritual maturity, and in line with God’s word, by the leading of the Holy Spirit, he was instructed by his mentor, to take full responsibility of a new branch of Mount Zion Ministry international in the year 2011. While working tirelessly in the vineyard, God gave him a beautiful damsel, his lovely wife to whom he got married and God has blessed this humble union with beautiful kids.

Apostle Famous also had several visions from which words concerning the name ‘’Open Heaven Deliverance and Prophetic Church International’’ came Amazingly, until then, he always thought about himself as an evangelist, little did he know that God who sees the end from the beginning made him a Prophet before he was born. To God be the glory! On the 1st of January 2017, The Almighty God confirmed his word with a scripture in the book of Genesis 13:1-2. On this day, Open Heaven Deliverance and Prophetic Church International was born here on earth. Praise God!

God has been so faithful to His Words indeed, within the last few years, many heavens have opened, Souls have been saved to the kingdom of God, and the word of God, miracles, signs and wonders has taken place. Testimonies are falling upon testimonies, ranging from numerous safe deliveries of beautiful babies, raising the dead back to life, healing of the sick, deliverance for the spiritually oppressed, confirmation of words of prophecies, words of wisdom and knowledge and even breakthrough on immigration cases. Many have received answers to their questions when they had encounters with the man of God through dreams and visions etc.

I am very optimistic that more achievements are lined up because Open Heaven Deliverance and Prophetic Church International are found on the five cardinal principles of:

To Root out, to pull down, to destroy, to throw down, to build, and to plant., See, I have this day set thee over the nations and over the kingdoms, to root out, and to pull down, and to destroy, and to throw down, to build, and to plant. Jeremiah 1 vs10,,, And it shall come to pass, that him that escapeth the sword of Hazael shall Jehu slay: and him that escapeth from the sword of Jehu shall Elisha slay. 1kings 19 vs 17)

Prayer and warfare,,,(2 Corinthians 10 vs 4-5 (For the weapons of our warfare are not carnal, but mighty through God to the pulling down of strong holds;) Casting down imaginations, and every high thing that exalteth itself against the knowledge of God, and bringing into captivity every thought to the obedience of Christ;

The undiluted Word of God,,,Matthew 28 vs 19-20

 Go ye therefore, and teach all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Ghost: Teaching them to observe all things whatsoever I have commanded you: and, lo, I am with you always, even unto the end of the world. Amen.

mark 16 vs 15 And he said unto them, Go ye into all the world, and preach the gospel to every creature.

16 He that believeth and is baptized shall be saved; but he that believeth not shall be damned.

17 And these signs shall follow them that believe; In my name shall they cast out devils; they shall speak with new tongues;

18 They shall take up serpents; and if they drink any deadly thing, it shall not hurt them; they shall lay hands on the sick, and they shall recover.

,,,Acts 2vs37 Now when they heard this, they were pricked in their heart, and said unto Peter and to the rest of the apostles, Men and brethren, what shall we do?Then Peter said unto them, Repent, and be baptized every one of you in the name of Jesus Christ for the remission of sins, and ye shall receive the gift of the Holy Ghost.For the promise is unto you, and to your children, and to all that are afar off, even as many as the Lord our God shall call.And with many other words did he testify and exhort, saying, Save yourselves from this untoward generation.Then they that gladly received his word were baptized: and the same day there were added unto them about three thousand souls.And they continued stedfastly in the apostles' doctrine and fellowship, and in breaking of bread, and in prayers.And fear came upon every soul: and many wonders and signs were done by the apostles. And all that believed were together, and had all things common;And sold their possessions and goods, and parted them to all men, as every man had need.And they, continuing daily with one accord in the temple, and breaking bread from house to house, did eat their meat with gladness and singleness of heart, Praising God, and having favour with all the people. And the Lord added to the church daily such as should be saved.

Love,,,

For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life. (John 3 vs 16)

Home of freedom. Luke 4 vs18 The Spirit of the Lord is upon me, because he hath anointed me to preach the gospel to the poor; he hath sent me to heal the brokenhearted, to preach deliverance to the captives, and recovering of sight to the blind, to set at liberty them that are bruised,

19 To preach the acceptable year of the Lord.

The Spirit of the Lord God is upon me; because the Lord hath anointed me to preach good tidings unto the meek; he hath sent me to bind up the brokenhearted, to proclaim liberty to the captives, and the opening of the prison to them that are bound; Isaiah 61 vs 1

May the Almighty God Bless you all, in Jesus, Name Amen
