Church Profile: Mountain Of Fire And Miracles Ministries (About Mfm)

If you’ve ever heard someone shouting “Die! Die! Die!” in prayer and wondered whether it’s a scene from a Nollywood thriller or a deliverance session, chances are… you’ve encountered Mountain of Fire and Miracles Ministries (MFM). Now, before you clutch your pearls or raise your holy eyebrows, let me take you on a deep and refreshing journey through one of Nigeria’s most influential, powerful, and (let’s be honest) most misunderstood churches.

As a passionate Nigerian writer and spiritual observer, this isn’t just another church profile. No o. This is a real-life gist—part history, part analysis, and a sprinkle of holy humor—about a church that has redefined what it means to wage spiritual warfare.

The Humble Beginnings: From Living Room Prayers to Global Impact

Let’s start at the very beginning—1989 to be precise. A young, brilliant scientist named Dr. Daniel Kolawole Olukoya, with a heart on fire for God, decided to host a prayer meeting in his living room in Yaba, Lagos. Just 24 people showed up. No fancy chairs, no microphones, no ushers. Just raw hunger for God.

But little did they know—they were planting the seed of a global spiritual army.

That small prayer fellowship grew rapidly. People were getting healed. Bondages were breaking. Strange dreams were disappearing. In fact, if you ever had a dream where someone was chasing you with a cutlass, MFM was the place to go and sort things out spiritually.

By 1994, that fellowship was officially named Mountain of Fire and Miracles Ministries. And guess what? Their first church location was on 13 Olasimbo Street, Onike, Yaba—once described as a “slum.” Today, that very location is the international headquarters, and the transformation is nothing short of miraculous. From a slum to a sanctuary? God must be smiling.

Meet the Man of God: Dr. D.K. Olukoya

Now, let’s talk about the General Overseer himself. Dr. Olukoya is no ordinary pastor. He is a molecular geneticist, a former researcher at the Nigerian Institute of Medical Research, and Nigeria’s first scientist to clone genes.

And then, he took a spiritual U-turn and became a deliverance preacher. Talk about blending brain and Bible!

He’s also an author—ever heard of Prayer Rain? That book has helped millions of believers fire prayer missiles at their enemies (real or imagined). His teachings are rooted in scripture, but let’s be honest, he doesn't sugarcoat things. He tells it as it is—if there are demonic forces tormenting your life, Dr. Olukoya believes you shouldn’t pamper them. You should command them to pack and go. Period.

The MFM Vision: Raising Spiritual Warriors

MFM isn’t your regular “come-as-you-are, sip-coffee-in-church” kind of place. No shade to those churches, of course. But Mountain of Fire is for those who are tired of spiritual nonsense and ready to fight back.

Their Vision Is Clear:

• Revive apostolic signs and wonders.

• Train believers in spiritual warfare.

• Raise holy, aggressive end-time believers.

• Deliver people from generational bondage.

• Prepare people for Heaven with holiness and power.

And no, they don’t mean physical aggression. The only weapon they encourage you to wield is prayer—fervent, Scripture-backed, fire-filled prayer. The kind that gives demons high blood pressure.

Spiritual Warfare Like Never Before

Let me paint you a picture: You enter an MFM service and before you even sit down, the atmosphere is already charged. People are praying like their entire village is depending on it. And honestly, for some people, it is.

MFM believes life is a battlefield—not a playground. And whether you believe it or not, they’ll encourage you to pray like your destiny depends on it. Because it probably does.

Their favorite Scriptures? Try:

• Luke 10:19 – “Behold, I give unto you power...”

• Ephesians 6:12 – “For we wrestle not against flesh and blood...”

• Jeremiah 20:11 – “But the Lord is with me as a mighty terrible one…”

And trust me, MFM believers don’t joke with those verses. They turn them into chants of warfare.

Dress Code and Discipline: Modesty is Their Watchword

Let’s address the elephant in the room: MFM’s strict dress code. For women—no trousers, no makeup, no jewelry. For men—no sagging, no funky hairstyles.

Now, some people complain that it's too rigid. But the church’s stance is based on their deep conviction about holiness, purity, and not being a stumbling block to others.

You might not agree with all of it, but one thing is certain: walk into an MFM branch and you’ll meet a people who are serious. These folks didn’t come to joke. They came to wage war and win battles—spiritually.

Signature Programs and Services

If you’re looking to experience MFM in full gear, there are a few special programs you shouldn’t miss:

1. Power Must Change Hands (PMCH)

Held every first Saturday of the month at Prayer City, this program is a deliverance marathon. People from all over the world come to pray, fast, and break every yoke known to man. Bring your water, oil, and handkerchief—you’re going to war.

2. Manna Water Service

Held midweek, it’s a fasting and prayer service where believers drink specially prayed-upon water. Let’s just say it’s “liquid fire” for spiritual cleansing.

3. 70 Days Fasting and Prayer

This one is not for the faint-hearted. It’s like bootcamp for spiritual commandos. Daily prayers. Serious fasting. And testimonies that make your jaw drop.

MFM Around the World: Global but Rooted

Today, MFM has spread to over 100 countries—USA, UK, Canada, South Africa, and beyond. It has churches in cities and rural villages, on university campuses and foreign embassies.

And guess what? They still maintain that same fiery flavor. Whether you walk into MFM Manchester or MFM Makurdi, the fire is the same. You will hear the same Holy Ghost missiles being launched.

They’ve also established Mountain Top University, MFM Football Club (yes, football and fasting go hand in hand apparently), and various outreach programs to prisons, orphanages, and hospitals.

Music, Youth, and More

Oh, did I mention MFM has one of the most vibrant music ministries in Nigeria? Their Mountain Top Conservatory of Music is raising world-class gospel musicians who don’t just sing—they minister.

And let’s not forget the youth! MFM has a strong youth arm where young people are discipled, mentored, and trained to become the Daniels and Esthers of their generation. And no, you won’t find clubbing youths here. They’re busy praying, schooling, and preparing for divine destiny.

Criticisms and Controversies

Now, to be fair, not everyone agrees with MFM’s style.

Critics say their deliverance prayers are too aggressive. Others argue that the focus on demons can sometimes overshadow grace and love. There have also been media stories about church property disputes, dress code debates, and theological concerns.

But the truth is—MFM isn’t trying to be politically correct. Their focus is simple: “Make Heaven and take as many people as possible with you.”

Why MFM Still Matters Today

In a world filled with watered-down spirituality and feel-good sermons, Mountain of Fire and Miracles Ministries offers something different—depth.

If you’re tired of spiritual attacks, dreams that make you wake up sweating, or cycles of disappointment, MFM offers a place to roll up your sleeves, fast for 21 days, and deal with it once and for all.

But beyond deliverance, MFM offers discipline, training, community, and a burning desire for holiness. You may not agree with everything, but you can’t ignore the passion, the prayer, and the power.

Final Thoughts: Would You Visit MFM?

Look, MFM is not your average church. And that’s okay. God moves in different ways in different places. While some people connect with soft worship and acoustic guitars, others need fire prayers and spiritual bootcamp.

MFM is a spiritual hospital for people with complex problems—and let’s be honest, sometimes Panadol won’t cure what only fervent prayer can fix.

So if you’re tired of surface-level church life, and you’re ready to dive into deep waters—maybe it’s time to visit a Mountain of Fire and Miracles Ministries branch near you. You may just find the breakthrough you’ve been praying for.

And who knows? You might even shout your own “Die! Die! Die!” before the service is over. Don’t say I didn’t warn you.
