Real!! Jesus Appeared In Markurdi Church Today

Saint Augustine’s Catholic Church, Nenger in
Markudi, Benue State became a centre of
attraction as scores of people, Christians and
Muslims, men and women, young and old, trooped
there to catch a glimpse of the ‘image’ of Jesus
Christ yesterday.
The church is located behind Government Model
College, Makurdi , the state capital, where a
bright image fell on the crucifix of Christ.
Eyewitnesses said the image, which was a carbon
copy of the structure of Christ when he rose from
death after he was crucified and buried, had on
its head a crown, while the entire body was
glittering, like precious stone.
It was learnt that majority of people surging into
the church vicinity came from Makurdi community
while others were from the 23 local government
areas of the state.
They were all eager to see the image themselves.
Christians and non-Christians alike, on sighting
the image which was accompanied by a bright
light that overwhelmed the entire church, moved
close to it and placed their hands on it.
They were shouting: “Jesus save me.” “Jesus the
son of God, have mercy on me.” One of the
parishioners, Mr. Emmanuel Hembenkaan, told
New Telegraph that he was shocked when he saw
the image.
He said the image was seen in the church for the
first time since the church was established.
Mr Hembenkaan said the image appeared on
Friday during a 3pm prayer session known as
“Devine Mercy.”
When the news filtered into town, people rushed
to the church. He said the image does not just
appear in a place but when the people are
suffering and have prayed for God’s intervention.
When contacted, the Catholic Priest in charge of
the church, Rev. Father Celestine Tyowua,
declined comments. Rev. Tyowua said he would
address the media after receiving approval from
the Bishop of Makurdi Diocese, Wilfred Anagbe.
