Making a
surprise appearance in The SCOAN, Nollywood superstar Jim Iyke entered quietly
and unannounced, joining worshippers from around the world as they listened to
the inspiring message from renowned Prophet T.B. Joshua.
As The
SCOAN’s Wise Men moved through the congregation in prayer, the lightning of God
located Iyke and he was no longer able to control himself. Lunging towards one
of the Wise Man as if to attack him, an evil spirit that had been tormenting
the life of Jim Iyke manifested! The congregation in the auditorium and the
overflow congregations shouted in surprise as they began to witness the deliverance
of a man they were all too familiar with.
Jim Iyke,
born James Ikechukwu Esomugha, is currently one of the highest paid actors in
the Nigerian movie industry and cultivated the name “Nollywood bad boy” for
himself. As one of the most successful actors in Nollywood, he has starred in
over 150 films to date. He has launched his own film production unit, “Untamed
Productions” and his own music label, “Untamed Records” with his very own
album, “Who Am I?” He is also founder of “Jim Iyke Foundation”, contributing
funds to children of the less privileged and children with physical challenges.
Among his
movie awards are: The Teenage Choice Award, Best Actor In Nigerian
Entertainment Award, African Achievement Award, Best Actor of the Year (Mode
Men Award 2010), Sexiest Man In Nigeria 2008, Best African Actor (NET Awards).
The evil
spirit that had tormented the life of Jim Iyke for so many years began to
manifest, confessing that it was the cause of Iyke’s setback and
disappointment. It confessed that it was the reason he could never marry,
stating that it would not allow him to love anyone. It continued confessing
that Iyke was the biggest and that it was only God’s grace that had kept him.
As the evil spirit inside him struggled to attack the Wise Man, the supremacy
of the Holy Spirit continued to overpower it.
The
deliverance continued but the battle was not against flesh and blood; it was
against the spiritual entities that had been causing crisis in his life,
family, health, career and future.
To the
jubilation of the congregation, the name of Jesus Christ prevailed over the
evil spirit and Jim Iyke received his freedom. Overwhelmed with what had just
happened, Iyke immediately knelt in God’s presence, appreciating His Creator
for his miraculous deliverance.
The humility demonstrated by Jim
Iyke in submitting himself to the power of God should prompt others in his
industry to make the same life-saving choice.
This seems to be
a positive turn for Jim Iyke. Wishing him all the best!
