Former National Publicity Secretary of the opposition Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), Chief Olisa Metuh, got the attention of many as he was seen engaging his listeners with the gospel of Jesus Christ and the testimony of God’s goodness to him at the Garki International Market in Abuja on Saturday morning.

Metuh recounted his ordeals, particularly his health challenges, unjust court trial and ten months incarceration and submitting that he survived by the mercies and grace that can only be found in faith and trust in Jesus Christ.

The preaching exercise theme Evangelism Week was organised by the Guiding Light Assembly, a Pentecostal church in Abuja.

According to Vanguard, Metuh related how his savings, property, businesses and means of sustenance were seized from him; how he nearly lost his life from a deteriorated spinal cord ailment as well as the series of medical surgeries he passed through, said he remains grateful to God for saving his life.

“I have passed through very horrifying experiences but God saved me. My life is testament of God’s grace of and mercies. I live to testify that God never forget those who put their trust in Him. No matter the situation you found yourself, be sure that as long as your trust is in God, He will surely deliver and restore you” Metuh told a cluster of listeners in the market.

Quoting from Psalm 34; 19 which states that “many are the afflictions of the righteous; but the Lord delivers him from them all”, the former opposition imagemaker urged his audience not to give up hope but put their trust in God for deliverance no matter the travail they face.

Metuh revealed that he has been preaching privately since his ordeal while noting that promised to win souls for God if he survived his travails.

“I am ever remembering all what God has done for me and I will continue to preach and win souls for God” he said.
