Ruth Ometere Elton, Nigeria’s oldest missionary, passed away at the age of 91 in Ilesa, Osun State, on Saturday, August 30, 2025.
She was born in Britain but later became a Nigerian citizen, following in the footsteps of her father, Pa Sydney Granville Elton, who is a significant figure in Pentecostalism in Nigeria and was involved in The Apostolic Church as a missionary in 1937 before later mentoring the likes of Benson Andrew Idahosa. He introduced the latter rain movement to Nigeria.
Ruth, who never married, dedicated her life to spreading the gospel and serving communities in places such as Egbe, Okene, Koton Karfe, Ondo, Oyo and Osun. She was fluent in both Ebira and Yoruba.
In Okene, she helped reduce child mortality rates by teaching proper hygiene and working to end harmful practices such as force-feeding newborns.
Mama Ruth like her father strongly believed that Nigeria would one day shine in righteousness.

PASTOR ADEBOYE REVEALS HOW HE MOCKED A SMALL CHURCH, LATER DISCOVERING IT HELD THE KEY TO HIS PURPOSE. While preaching at the Online Sunday Service, Pastor Adeboye shared a personal testimony illustrating the "Wonders of Divine Contact."
Recalling his time as a Games Master at a Grammar School, he spoke about a boastful encounter with a Games Master from a rival team during a football match in a distant town. Church Gist. Years later, while pursuing his Master's Degree at the University of Lagos, he was surprised to discover that the same individual had become his neighbor, living just two rooms away. This chance reunion led to a close friendship.
He recounted that his friend was pursuing a Ph.D. in Geography and needed to collect sand from the coast at Ebute Metta for his research. Pastor Adeboye followed him and it was then that he saw a signboard for a small Church, "The Redeemed Christian Church of God." Church Gist. At the time, he and his friend found the name amusing, but four years later, a need for an urgent miracle led Pastor Adeboye to seek out a Church and he was directed to that same Church.
It was at this Church that he gave his life to Jesus Christ. He concluded his testimony by emphasizing how God had orchestrated his path and brought him to his destiny. Church Gist. He stated that he is now speaking as the General Overseer of the same church he once ridiculed, highlighting the profound and unexpected way Divine connections can shape a person's life.

IT IS THE ANOINTING OF CHRIST THAT HEALS, NOT THE ANOINTING OF ANY PASTOR
- Bishop David Oyedepo
At the Enough Is Enough Service held to conclude the month of August which was prophetically tagged 'I Will Restore Health Unto Thee', Bishop David Oyedepo cautioned fellow ministers not to take the glory for any healing miracle. Retelling an incident of a dead child brought back to life in Sierra Leone, he said "I have seen a bit of things that God did without me knowing. That could not be my virtue, if it were my virtue I will know.

IT IS THE ANOINTING OF CHRIST THAT HEALS, NOT THE ANOINTING OF ANY PASTOR - Bishop David Oyedepo At the Enough Is Enough Service held to conclude the month of August which was prophetically tagged 'I Will Restore Health Unto Thee', Bishop David Oyedepo…
We were in Freetown, Sierra Leone one time. There was a dead child that was brought to our Leadership Empowerment Summit. The mother was a Muslim woman, she heard I was coming to town so she said her child will not be buried. She came to the Leadership Empowerment Summit, not Healing Service. When we closed, we were on our way to leave the country and she was on the staircase leading to the church office. There was no point asking her what happened, you can see what happened. I said 'in the name of Jesus, awake' and I left. After the meeting, I came back and she was still there. Church Gist. Again I said to the child 'I am going to the airport now. in the name of Jesus, come back to life.' We had to take a boat from the hotel to the airport. Before we got to the airport, a noise came that the child was awake. Nothing came out of me. What raised that child is not me. That's why ministers should be very careful. People say things like "You know I have lost a lot of virtue." Your virtue can't heal an ant. It is in Jesus' name. You can't work any wonder without His virtue. When you call His name, His virtue goes forth. The anointing of Christ that heals all manner of sickness and diseases goes forth. It's not the anointing of the pastor or the evangelist, it is the anointing of Christ. Engage the name with that understanding that you are engaging the anointing of Christ over your issues.

While teaching on Sunday, Dr. Paul revealed the reason why he speaks with so much authority and audacity even on national issues.
Quoting his exact words, "The presence of God imparts divine authority to command and be obeyed. 1 Kings 17:1. 'I am speaking with the authority of my stand in His presence. I have such a stand in His presence that makes me to command and be obeyed'. When a baby lion is in front of a lioness, it can confront an elephant. The presence of who you are in determines what you can confront. Church GistA stand in God's presence gives you the power to command and be obeyed and the more conscious of the presence of whom you stand, the more authoritative you are in the realm of the spirit. That is why some people don't understand the authority with which we speak atimes. Church Gist. It's a function of the understanding of where you stand. The presence of God imparts a man with the authority to command and be obeyed"

FROM THE AGE OF 20 AND UPWARDS, YOU ARE ABSOLUTELY RESPONSIBLE FOR WHERE YOU STAND WITH GOD
COME AWAKE! WE ARE IN A REVIVAL.
THERE ARE TOO MANY DOCILE PEOPLE IN CHURCH WRITING ALL KINDS OF NOTES IN CHURCH AND DO NOTHING AFTER
PROPHETIC WORDS ARE NOT SENT TO ENTERTAIN US, THEY ARE SENT TO INSTRUCT US
THEY WERE MOCKING THE BUILDING OF THE ARK, UNTIL THE FLOOD CAME
- Bishop David Oyedepo on WALKING IN DOMINION OVER SICKNESS AND DISEASE (5A) at Enough Is Enough Service 31st August 2025 Faith Tabernacle, Canaanland First Sunday Service Part A
When God says it is enough, it is enough. He told that angel that destroyed the land, “Enough! Stay now thy hand” and the angel bowed. Enough to every turbulence of your life. Enough! Every uproar in your family, enough! Every stigma on your health, enough! He said “I will restore health unto you” and every divine agenda speaks loudest at the end. Church Gist. So today marks the end of every health issue in your life, in your family, in the lives of your children and your spouse. Enough is enough to all plagues of sickness and diseases. You are returning from this service with your clean health bill. The God of enough is enough will answer for you today in Jesus name.
Just recently I was saying this at the Covenant Hour of Prayer, prophetic words are not sent to impress us but to impact us. Prophetic words are not sent to entertain us but to instruct us. Prophetic words are not to charge us but to change us. You saw how my daughter came up here this morning, the doctor said they can't do anything. Church Gist. If they went on with that procedure, she may not survive it, she may die. The brother said this is the prophetic instruction, take this shot of the anointing oil for the next 7 days. By the seventh day, it all dried up. Prophetic words are not sent to impress us, they are sent to impact us as we choose to believe and put them to work.
From the age of 20 and upwards, you are absolutely responsible for where you stand with God. Jarius' daughter was 12 years old, so her father could stand in for her. The man that was 40 years old, they didn't ask where are your relations. No! Go to the pool called Siloam and wash. Find your way there. Church Gist. There are too many docile people in Church. They write all kinds of notes in Church and do nothing. She got saved and baptized in 2011, so she is a candidate. Some can't tell whether they are saved or not. Is that life? She would have been dead in the grave. She believed. There is nothing you don't believe that will come to pass. If Christ came down and laid hands on you, it won't work. Please wake up.
Isaiah 33:24. That is the end-time Church in prophecy. Sickness will be firmly under our feet. Our dominion will be open to all, as you believe. They were mocking the building of the Ark, until the flood came. The door was shut before they knew it had happened at last. They were flooded away. Please don't wait to be flooded away. Again, prophetic words are not sent to impress you but to impact you. They are not sent to entertain you but to instruct you. They are not to charge you but to change you. Church Gist. Some never took that oil once, so they carry on with their troubles. I have prophetic mantles I engage from the ones sent to me because I believe in it and the virtue is oozing forth. This is not my strength. Your being here is not adding to God but adding to you. You are the one going from strength to strength, the Almighty doesn't know weariness. He doesn't need light, we are the ones that need light. He is the light. Everything about the Kingdom is adding to you. Thou shall serve and He shall bless (Exodus 23:25(. You can't bless God. Please come awake, we are in a revival. Come awake!
All her systems had shut down but the liquid fire went in and brought life back to all the organs. All the pus came out. You saw the stomach is now flat. You saw how she walked briskly to the altar. You were told to make a list of your ‘enough is enough’ items. Some never followed that instruction, they are superior to it.
COME AWAKE! WE ARE IN A REVIVAL.

“I am an M.D”. M.D. of what? M.D. of life? Church Gist. You don't have your list, carry on with your trouble. I asked the Lord one time what a prophet can do to make people believe what He sent him to do. He said “They can do nothing. Even I myself can't do anything. If they don't believe, I can't do anything.” Over to you.
- It's your day. Every siege of the devil that is blocking any area of your life must clear off today.
