The Mandate

Pastor Sunny Cookey received a Mandate to preach the Kingdom, heal the sick, and set the captives free. When he was an undergraduate in the University of Port Harcourt in 1987. God showed him a vision, a big dark hall where prisoners where kept with windows that had heavy burglaries. He noticed a staff in his hands with which he pointed at the door and it opened at its own accord and a crowd of prisoners came out free with joy. This was a Liberation Mandate! This revelation was confirmed in the scripture in Isaiah 42:6-7. His Apostolic Mandate was also confirmed in a vision and in the scriptures 1 Tim2:7

He was led to establish Lifegate Power Ministries on Friday, March 29th 1996 and the Maiden Service on Sunday 31st March ( Easter Sunday) 1996 at Erijoy Hotel and later moved to Dominion Arena on Stadium Road on 20th February 1998.

On 19th June 2009, he received an additional Mandate while praying, the Holy Spirit said,       “ Making many rich” which was confirmed in 1 Cor 6:10.  So, in addition to the Apostolic and Prophetic Mandate, he has been given the Mandate to “ Make Many Rich”- the Prosperity Mandate. He received yet another mandate to raise role models and set the pace in education, hence the birth of Zoe Heritage Model School in 2014, a high standard Nursery and Primary School.
