🔥Fr. Mbaka's secret to his ordination has finally been revealed 🔥
Do you know that life is like a Labour Room? And in a Labour room, there are four possible outcomes. By outcomes, I mean that in a Labour that one out of four things must definitely happen and this can't be debated because it's a proven fact. One may now ask "What are these possible outcomes?"
In a Labour room, one and only one of these things must happen:
1. The Mother lives and the baby dies
2. The Mother dies and the baby lives
3. The Mother dies and the baby dies
4. The Mother lives and the baby lives.
We all pray for outcome number 4 because it is the best of all outcomes. This was the prayer of Late Chief Humphrey Mbaka when his wife Felicia Mbaka was going into the Labour room. To the glory of the lord, their prayers were answered and a bouncing baby boy came out alive with his mother.
No one knew that that young boy would be a solution to the problems of millions on Earth, a pathfinder, a pacesetter and a very rare channel for the flow of God's grace to his people. I am convinced that God orchestrated it to be this way and I believe this because of what he told Jeremiah, see this Jeremiah 1:5
[5]“I knew you before I formed you in your mother’s womb.
Before you were born I set you apart
and appointed you as my prophet to the nations.”
Rev. Fr. Ejike Mbaka, as he is popularly known today had his primary and secondary school education in Enugu State, where he attended St. Vincent’s Secondary School, Agbogugu, in the Awgu Local Government Area of Enugu State for his secondary education. He had a strong affinity and love for the Eucharist and that has been the source of his pure and genuine power from God. It was evident in his lifestyle and although being a pagan, Late Chief Humphrey Mbaka, didn't disturb him with his zeal and piety towards Christianity.
He was seen to be the successor of his lineage because the Ogbuefi family is renowned for their special talent in palm wine tapping in the community (Ituku). But they didn't know that he had a different covenant with his creator. His excessive passion made him desire so much to hold and consecrate the host and wine as the priests of the Holy Roman Catholic Church called in the Order of Melchizedek of old.
Of course, this was a very difficult pill for his family to swallow, seeing that he was the only son of his parents, notwithstanding, he went ahead to pursue his dream and was highly persecuted.
Rev. Fr. Mbaka had his priestly training at Seat of Wisdom Seminary in Owerri, Imo State, and St. Joseph’s Seminary in Ikot Ekpene, Akwa Ibom State. He received his priesthood ordination on July 29, 1995, in the Roman Catholic Church in the Order of Melchizedek at Holy Ghost Cathedral by His Lordship, Bishop Michael Udwujah Eneja.
It was a rigorous journey and one with so many unpleasant experiences but the joy that Rev. Fr. Mbaka had was always derived from the reception of Jesus Christ in the Holy Eucharist and the hope that he will one day be called also in that order of ancient priesthood. The making of great things must take a process, just like the making of the sweet Olive Oil which will have to go through severe crushing just for the sweet ointment to flow.
And I will love to remind you that according to the scriptures, we are blessed if we're being persecuted. It's not news that the Ministry and person of Rev. Fr. Mbaka have been greatly persecuted in Nigeria and the diaspora. The most recent is the suspension of AMEN's ministerial activities due to some misunderstanding over political issues in Nigeria.
With respect to that temporal suspension in October 2022, the Catholic Bishop of Enugu Diocese, Most Rev. Callistus Onaga, transferred Mbaka from chaplaincy to the monastery. Consequently, Rev. Fr. Anthony Amadi was named to replace him (Mbaka) as the new chaplain of the Adoration Ministry Chaplaincy.
It was a really trying time for Our Chaplain, Fr. Mbaka and other Adorers but as you all know the scriptures gave us this assurance in 1 Corinthians 10:13 saying that The temptations in your life are no different from what others experience. And God is faithful. He will not allow the temptation to be more than you can stand. When you are tempted, he will show you a way out so that you can endure.
And this promise from scripture strengthen him and other Adorers as he gave his farewell speech in a video saying “I wish to use this opportunity to bless and encourage you as I depart to the monastery in obedience to my Bishop. I want you to remain calm as written in Psalm 46:10. This is a time we shall know the real adorers. Please, back me with your prayers so that I will go and embark on deeper reflections and interior waiting on the Lord. I want to remind you of Jeremiah 29:13, God will reverse everything. God has good plans for us and not to destroy us. This is not a time to be sorrowful. Be calm and vigilant. Stop every form of protest and demonstration.”
This was a huge encouragement to adorers as we waited patiently for the storm to be over and as the Lord lives, the storm is now over and we're back with full strength to continue the mandate God has given us in Adoration Ministry Enugu, Nigeria (AMEN).
It's with joy in my heart that I beckon on you to join us as we celebrate a MAN, PROPHET, KING, FATHER and PRIEST in the Order of Melchizedek of Old, we are celebrating Sacrifice, Grace, Mercy and Favour of the Most High God upon the life of Rev. Fr. Ejike Camillus Mbaka as his marks his 28th year Priestly Anniversary.
Hip Hip Hip! Hurray!!!!! ✨✨✨
