Reverend
Father Ejike C. Mbaka:
Ejike
Mbaka, is a Roman Catholic Reverend Father based in Enugu a recognized for his
firebrand and pentecostal-styled type of preaching. He is heavily filled
(drunken) with the Holy Ghost with remarkable evidence of Speaking in Other
Tongues. His ministrations are characterized by miracles, Signs and wonders.
Mbaka’s weekly all-night adoration crusade at the permanent site of his
ministry; Adoration Ministry Enugu Nigeria (AMEN) has never ceased to inspire
Catholic faithfuls to attend his programme.
Notably, his spiritual gifts, especially, working of
miracles have checked the movement of Catholic faithfuls to other
miracle-happening churches. It has also brought Anglicans, Pentecostals,
Methodists to increase the crowd of people in his ministrations and People fly
from abroad to come to for his weekly crusade and fly back. Inspite of the
ill-fated event of March 7 where 14 of the worshippers died under mysterious
circumstances as well as the controversies it generated, that did not reduce
the growing profile of this heavily anointed minister of God.
Born from the moral household of Chief Humphrey
Ogbuefi (Late) and Felicia Mbaka in Amata Ituku in Awgu L.G.A of Enugu State,
Nigeria, Father Mbaka is the only son of the parents. Little wonder his birth
was greeted with full praises and blessing to God. The Infant Mbaka was named
Ejike due to the consciousness of the fact that all powers belong to God not
excluding authority to determine the sex of a child. His father got a reprive
that at last, his successor has arrived!
Young Ejike C Mbaka, though fully consumed by his
home chores, still secured enough time to commune with God. He was around to
help his beloved mother in the kitchen and accompanied his father to their
famous trade of wine tapping, ensuring that all tapped wine got sold except for
the one set aside to entertain their visitors. Once through with domestic
demands, Mbaka would dash out to organize Block Rosary Prayers where he
regularly assumed the role of Francisco (one of the three children visited by
Blessed Virgin Mary in Fatima in Portugal in the year 1917). Also he is deeply
involved in the charismatic activities of his village parish, St. Anthony’s
Parish Ituku where he led the prayer warrior team. He is well loved by his
parents and the entire Ituku community.
However, as soon as “Cami” stated his aspiration to
join the priesthood, he incured the wrath of his father (Pa Ogbuefi) and his
kinsme, who not only disagreed with the idea but also victimized their little
boy and made life one unhappy for him. One can pitifully appreciate his
father’s situation at the time because as the only son the news of his
priesthood pursuit was equivalent to sacrifice (death), which means that the
young Mbaka was forever lost with the hopeless consequences of shutting down
their linage (in igbo culture). Strong-minded, he remained resolute to the
divine call to serve his creator. After his post-primary education at St.
Vincent’s secondary school Agbogugn in Awgu L.G.A of Eungu state, Nigeria, he progressed
to Seat of Wisdom Seminary Owerri and St Joseph’s Ikot Ekpene for his priestly training,
and nurturing to priesthood.
On July 29th 1995, Rev. Ejike C. Mbaka
was ordained a priest of the Holy Roman Catholic Church, a priest forever in
the order of Melchizedek. This notable event signified the victory of light
over darkness to the glory of God. Straightaway, the Catholic Church in Nigeria
knew that the eagle has landed. The young Rev. Fr. Ejike Mbaka was posted to
the Holy Ghost Cathedral, the headquarters of Catholic Church in Enugu Diocese
as the Assistant Diocesan Administration.
This God’s General; Rev. Fr. Mbaka is a strong believer in the power of the Eucharist and the Word of God, hence he is so familiar with most chapters/verses and can preach for hours without getting tired. For him the Eucharist is the essence, soul and life of the church. He is also of the strong view that prayer is the key to the door of all human requests to heaven. He insists that the people must pray their way out; with his popular injunction to pray until Something Happens (PUSH). A great philosopher and highly talented with resourceful mind, Father Mbaka is an amiable soul-winner who knows those little things the people need to be happy and fulfilled. He has a philantropic heart, hates discrimination and relates with all irrespective of class, race, religion, colour etc. A songwriter and musician, most of his songs usually originate while he is sleeping. He has so many albums to his credit and has been honoured at various times by Performing Musicians Association of Nigeria (PIMAN).
Among many altercations with authorities with respect to his principles and percieved poor governance cum corruption,
He drew the attention of the nation
and beyond, with his now famous New Year Prophesy of 2015 stating that the then
incumbent President of Nigeria, Goodluck Jonathan should resign and stop
contesting for re-election, tagging him as Bad Luck for Nigeria. Amdst critisms
and reported threats to his life and ministry, he took the other Men of God to
the “cleaners’. His prophesy against all odds, was clinical, phorensic and
unmistakably came to pass. The then opposition candidate General Muhamadu
Buhari clearly defeated the incumbent president and the rest they say is
history.
Father Ejike C Mbaka is no doubt Anointed, Apostolic, Prophetic and Evangelistic. Little wonder why Adoration Ministries Enugu Nigeria (AMEN) has flourished and grown remarkably under his leaderships, direction, guidance and mentoring.
We gracefully present this Man of God, Rev. Fr. Ejike Camillius Anthony Ebenezer Mbaka, as one of God’s Generals of Nigeria. - From: Adoration Ministry Enugu Nigeria (AMEN).
