CSMEP Founder

I was brought and raised in a Christian background. I am married to Dr Ephraim Ezeh-Senior Pastor of Arise & Shine Christian Ministries and have been for many years. I have five children, two boys and three girls all grown and left home. I grow up knowing that I have a calling in my life.

I accepted Jesus Christ as my Lord and Saviour on June 30, 1989. Shortly after that I joined Deeper Life Bible Church, a church that is renowned for her solid bible teaching and showing believers how to live a holy and righteous life. One year after I gave my life to Christ, I started to feel a deep sense of purpose and calling in my life but never knew what to do about it. I did not know how to go about finding out what I was called to do and how that deep sense of purpose can be actualised. I love God dearly and spent a lot of time seeking after him and how I would please him. Two years after I was born again, I came into leadership with this growing church, the struggle of my calling and purpose grow very strong.

From the outsider’s point of view and the church point of view I was fruitful and productive as it would seem by the grace of God, but deep down, I always felt that there was something more inside of me that needed to come out. The short of the story is, I needed a personal mentor who will walk alongside with me and encourage me to stir up the gift that was inside of me as Paul instructed Timothy in 2 Timothy, Chapter 1 verse 6 “Wherefore I put thee in remembrance that thou stir up the gift of God, which is in thee by the putting on of my hands”. My Pastor at the time was a strong man of God, highly inspirational who encouraged us to live out the bible in reality. The difficulty I felt, was that he was a Pastor over many people and had so many leaders under him. It was not possible for him to spend the amount of one to one session that I personally needed. I was very hungry and had lots questions that needed answers to.

In 1990, I was able to identify that I was an intercessor. About 6 years down this part I started to notice a prophetic gifting coming through my life. During this period, I was consulting with the Pastors over me, seeking explanation of the experiences that I was having most of which I struggled to understand. Following the emerging of the Prophetic calling on my life, other gifts started to come through. But had I had any form of personal mentoring, the questions that I had at the time of my experiences would have given me a better understanding of what I was passing through. It would have helped me to embrace it with ease, and equipped me better in understanding the working and the dealing of God in my life. It is for this reason that I have given myself to helping and assisting others to ensure that they get about their calling successfully by the grace of God.

Through the working of the Holy Spirit, I was led to start IAG (Intercessory Action Group) which started Jan 2000. This was an inter-denominational group that gathered together to pray for repentance and restoration of the body of Christ to its rightful position. I also co-ordinated a Northwest Intercessory Network called NWIN few years after. Again, we organised prayer day for the churches to pray for repentance for the Body of Christ.

Presently, I am a Co-Pastor at Arise & Shine Christian Ministries and the President of CWOI –world wide (Christian Women of Influence). I am committed to making sure that those that work with me know that they are in the world for a special specific assignment. That it is their duty through the Holy Spirit to-

• Find out what their assignments are
• Identify the gifts that they need to do the work 
• Pursue their destiny.

So that at the end of life, we can boldly declare like Apostle Paul, “ I have finished my work………”. This is my humble prayer for myself and all that are in Christ Jesus. Amen
