Holy House Blessed Assembly

In March 1973 the late B.P Okolie, by the inspiration of the holy Spirit founded and established the “Holy House of Praye Sabbath Mission” (biblically deriving the name from Mat 21:15 for my house shall be called a house of prayer ) in his home town, Ezike Agu Amorka, in Ihiala local government area of Anambra state. He built his synagogue on a sacred land set aside for sacrifices to the community’s deity, for this and many other reasons he was dreaded by not only the traditional worshipers and native doctors but also fellow prophets, because he wielded unprecedented super natural powers.

Amongst the miracles God used him to perform include raising the dead, restoration of vision and voice to the blind and the dumb respectively, the lame walked, casting out all manner of evil spirits including the spirit of madness and breaking of generational curses and others too numerous to mention.

By God’s divine power which necessitated the miracles, he was able to open branches at Ifakala, Mbaise, Izombe, Ezi Osu, Nnebukwu, Akabo and Awa all in Imo state, Umunnaeli and Umueze in Ihiala LGA of Anambra state, Rumuekene in Rivers state, Ugbolu and Illa both in Delta state and another branch in Lagos state.

Before his demise in the year 2002, a lot of unforgettable events transpired, but permit me to pen down only two. A brother from Lagos branch by the name Osondu Durueke in a dream saw the late prophet amongst the host of heaven, when he enquired to know what his spiritual director was doing in their midst, their response was that he had been with them for over 2 years, Osondu was perplexed wondering what a man who’s still living is doing in their midst, by divine intervention he never related the dream to any one but had to come all the way from Lagos to narrate his dream to the founder. He told Osundu his dream was true warning him sternly never to relate the dream to anyone till he departs the earth or he will forever remain dumb, the bishop died few months after the dream and it was then made known to the congregation.

Another event was when mother Angelina Agim from lfakala branch was going to her farm and she overheard the founder of Holy Covenantal Sabbath late prophet Philip Nwadikwa shouting that he is seeing a great prophet ascending the skies, he shouted repeatedly and then mentioned the name of the late Peter Benson, on hearing the name mother Angelina ran back home and related the incident to her husband who immediately took off to Amorka only to find out that Peter Benson was no more and his time of death coincided with the time prophet Nwadikwa saw his vision. He died on Wednesday March 22nd, 2002.

Peter Benson lived an exceptionally holy and upright life, he drew many souls to God and left lasting spiritual legacies in the Sands of time
