cried out for help after the anointing oil, water and prayer points
given him by the General Overseer of his church, Mountain of Fire and
Miracles Ministries (MFM), Dr. Daniel Kolawole Olukoya failed to stop
the cataract growing in his eyes.
Amuruche, who pastors the Alakija, Satelite town branch of the MFM,
said for over a year, he has been battling with eye cataract which has
already grown on one eye and threatening to start growing on the
second eye if medical help does not come fast.
Narrating his ordeal when he visitedThe Sunhead office in Lagos,
Pastor Amuruche said the problem started when he noticed his eyes were
always itching him, a which development degenerated into blurry sight
later. According to him: "I noticed my eyes always scratch me and at a
point my vision changed, my sight became blurring. I told my wife
about it, she looked into my eyes and told me there was a growth
forming in my eyes. So, we sought medical advice."
The optician they visited, for medical advice, informed him that he
had developed an eye cataract and that the only way it can be treated
is surgery. "I went to an optician in the estate where I live who told
me that it is cataract and that the only way out is surgery.
Initially, I didn't know what the problem was because I have not
experienced it before and it is not in my lineage. So, we went to Eye
Foundation Hospital, Ikeja, for treatment."
"At the hospital", Pastor Amuruche continues, "they said I should
provide N450,000 per eye. That is N900,000 for the two eyes but I
cannot afford it. I did an eye test for which I paid N130,000 pending
the time I will get money for the surgery. But I have not been able
to raise money and my situation is getting worse by the day."
In his quest to seek alternative treatment for his eyes at no cost,
Pastor Amuruche embarked on a journey to Isiukwuato LGA, Abia State,
when he heard that a group of opticians flew in from the United States
to help people with eye problems free-of-charge.Unfortunately, his
effort to get cured was frustrated by the mammoth crowd that besieged
the venue. "I spent five days there but I could not do the surgery
because the crowd was much.
That is how I have been going around for assistance and now it is
moving to the other eye", he stated.
Asked if the church has done anything to assist him, he looked up from
the documents he was sorting with a torchlight, under a well lit room
and thick lens glasses on his eyes, and said: "I have gone to my
General Overseer for money to do the surgery. To get him was a
problem. It was just last week that I was able to get him. But instead
of giving me money to do the surgery, he gave anointing oil, prayer
points and water to be washing my face. I told him that I have prayed.
I have been doing fasting and have been doing vigils concerning the
eyes.
But it has been deteriorating. If my coming out to seek for help will
lead to my sack, let him sack me and I will go instead of losing my
eyes in the name of ministry. And I will not be able to minister, I
will not pastor and I will be in the house and they will not pay me."
