The second day of the Eleventh Hour Gospel Crusaders witnessed an atmosphere charged with God’s presence as Rev. Dr. Bethel Nwanebu (Rev. B) delivered a profound and soul-stirring message. He opened with heartfelt thanksgiving, honoring God and acknowledging the church leaders, ministers, and dignitaries in attendance. Rev. B declared that God had a miracle for every listener and urged the congregation to remain attentive to His word.
Taking his foundational Scripture from Acts 17:25, he highlighted that God had given humanity three essential gifts: life, breath, and all things. From this passage, he drew out four powerful truths about life.
—
1. Life Is a Gift
Rev. B emphasized repeatedly that life was a gift, explaining that a gift is meant to bring pleasure to the giver. Using a vivid illustration of someone abusing an expensive Italian suit, he taught that many people misuse the life God has graciously given through sinful living—alcohol abuse, immorality, destructive habits, and careless choices.
He challenged the congregation to reflect on whether God was pleased or saddened by the lives they were living.

2. Life Is a Privilege
He reminded the audience that no one wakes up because of an alarm clock or personal strength. Waking up each day is a divine privilege, not a right, he said. He shared touching real-life stories, including a childhood memory of his friend Barnabas, who died instantly after stepping on a live electrical wire. Many survive dangers not because they are better but simply because God preserved them.
He urged listeners not to take the privilege of life for granted.

3. Life Is a Seed
Rev. B taught that living is seeding, stressing that every action a person takes is a seed that will produce a harvest—good or bad. He lamented the increasing moral decay in society: corruption, adulterated food, bribery, exploitation, and wickedness, all done without the fear of God.
He narrated the story of a teacher who deliberately sabotaged a Christian student’s exam papers. The teacher later suffered severe affliction and confessed in tears. Rev. B reiterated the biblical principle that a person will reap whatever he sows.

4. Life Is a Vapor
Citing James 4:14, he reminded the congregation that life is a vapor—brief, fragile, and unpredictable. He recounted tragic stories of sudden deaths, accidents, and families wiped out unexpectedly to illustrate how quickly life can end.
He warned that anyone could be just twenty-four hours away from eternity without realizing it. Therefore, living in readiness for eternity is essential.
—
Call to Salvation
Rev. B made a passionate call to repentance, noting that a sinner always knows he is a sinner. He emphasized that church attendance without transformation is meaningless. He pleaded with the congregation not to miss the opportunity for salvation, as life is uncertain.
Hundreds responded to the altar call, and Rev. B led them in the prayer of salvation. He prayed for their deliverance and declared that their names were now written in the Book of Life.
—
Healing and Miracle Session
A powerful healing session followed. Rev. B prayed for numerous health conditions—eye defects, tumors, migraines, infections, body pains, sleeplessness, cancer, and diabetes. He also gave prophetic words, identifying specific cases, including a woman with something under her left breast, declaring that God had removed it.
Several people testified immediately, including a woman who received instant healing in her right leg.
Rev. B closed the service by praying that every miracle would remain permanent and encouraged the congregation to return for subsequent sessions.
