Woman gives birth to a horse in Edo Church

Worshippers of the World Liberation Ministry located along old Sapele-Benin express road on Tuesday took to their heels during a prophesy programme when a female member delivered a horse.
The horse was however dead by the time Journalists visited the church.It was gathered that the woman whose identity was not yet known started screaming during the prayer session and began to bleed from the womanliness before the horse came out.
The General Overseer of the church, Evangelist Silva Wealth, said he was still amazed at what came out of the woman.
He told Journalists that during prayers a revelation came that there was a woman with an issue and that something was blocking her womb.
Silva said as prayers intensified, the woman started screaming and bleeding started when the object came out.
The cleric said he couldn’t confirm whether the horse was dead or alive because he didn’t go near it.
“I can’t describe the object. We have seen people that vomited several things during our service but not this type of thing. God has been blessing our ministry with prophesies and miracles, “he said.
People rushed to the church to catch a glimpse of the horse when news of the delivery filtered into town.

                               The challenge to balance our personal lives, the challenge for us

to survive, the struggle to maintain a good personal hygiene, and to live in good health,

productive environments and be satisfied in all aspect of our life surviving optimally on

our natural resources lead to the concept of SUSTAINABLE LIVING. Sustainable Life

is one in which Physical and Spiritual Health provides us with the energy we need to be

a positive force in the world. In my mind, sustainability is about balance. To find balance

in our world, we must first find balance in ourselves. We begin by taking care of

ourselves, then our immediate surroundings or family. From this position of strength, we

can affect positive change in our community and greater society. The challenge is to

find balance in our personal lives. For many people the demands of work and basic

survival are often at odds with the things they cherish most. This separation or

disconnect is multiplied over and over again until we find ourselves in a world of endless

war and ecological ruin. The one way we can change the direction of the world is to take

control of our own lives, setting an intention that fosters and empowers the things we

care about, which in turn give us strength, clarity and purpose.
