Captain of Nigeria’s Super Falcons, Rasheedat Ajibade has testified of how God helped the team win the 2024 Women”s African Cup of Nation which rounded off in Morocco on July 26.
She gave the testimony at the Mountain of Fire and Miracles Prayer City on Saturday August 2.
Ajibade told the worshippers that she and her mother always come to pray and fast on the ground of MFM.
She also shared how she was once hawking kunu and olive oil on the ground of Prayer City before she veered into playing football.
She recalled the various times she shuttled between the church”s programme and her club in Europe as well as some of the injuries she had in the course of playing for her club, the Spanish Liga F club Atlético Madrid
Ajibade who was accompanied by her mother while sharing the testimony said she had to tackle her injuries both physically and spiritually. She acknowledged her mother whom she said brought her up in the way of prayer and fasting.
Ajibade was named the player of the African Women Tournament.
I am here to return praise
She said, “First I want to thank the God of Mountain of Fire and Miracles Ministry. He never fails.
I am here to return all the praise to the God who answers by fire. I want to thank my mother. She taught us the word and she taught us how to worship.
“So if it is by fire you get what you want. I want to give glory to God because the journey to this point has never been easy. Anytime I travel to my club I will always come back to this church for deliverance. Sometimes with my mum sometimes I come alone. We pray and fast. And before I go back I will see my father in the Lord, Dr. D.K. Olukoya to pray for us “
She recalled how she came to testify in the church last year when the team qualified for the Olympics.
Ajibade also recounted how she was finding things difficult. “I was going through injuries, I was going through pain. I just didn’t know how to figure things out. Fortunately this is the only place I know. When we tackle things physically we also know how to tackle it spiritually”
On Super Falcons victory, she said “Before the tournament started there has been a lot of effort in the place of prayer. Most of the time I called my father in the Lord, Pastor Olukoya and all my pastors to support me in the place of prayer.”
She expressed profuse appreciation to all the pastors in MFM for standing in the gap for the Super Falcons team in the place of prayer while also noting that the MFM G.O. has been very supportive of her career.
