WHEN Pastor Denis Mpumechi, the Watchman Catholic Charismatic Renewal Movement Diocesan Pastor in Orlu, Imo State, started receiving divine revelations on the Rapture of the saints on a regular note, he began to wonder whether God was intending to use those revelations to inform him that his time on earth was up. He was really confused as the revelations continued to occur. Later, God made him to know that He was showing him those revelations, because He wanted him to start teaching Eschatology.
And so, since the early 1980s, Pastor Mpumechi has been teaching Eschatology, which is the study of all the events that will mark the end-time, that is, all that one needs to know about the signs of the end, including the Rapture, reign of the anti-Christ, Second Coming of Christ, Resurrection, Millennial reign, and the rest of the events in the end-time calendar, as revealed in the Bible.

So, when last year Pastor Mpumechi announced that he was going to devote one week on Eschatological teachings at the Diocesan Fellowship Centre, at No 21 Igboanusi Street, by the International Market, Orlu, Charismatic Signs was determined to be there. It was intended to be a special crusade in which people would come and hear the truth that would set them free.
The impact was great, and the place was jammed. On most of the days, the meeting ended as late as past ten in the evening, yet people stayed glued to their seats until all was over. The crowd even spilled into the adjoining street. The situation was such that the Watchmen who were already seated were always requested to give up their seats for the visitors, yet, there were not enough room to take all the people.
Charismatic Signs arrived two days into the programme, and was overwhelmed by the depth of the messages and their impact on the audience. As Pastor Mpumechi unfurled God’s end-time timetable, and its implications for humanity, the congregation remained sober, calm and attentive. It was as if the Rapture would take place the next minute, and no one wanted to be taken unawares. The altar calls he made in the course of the meetings saw large numbers of people surging towards the rostrum with weeping and deep prayers to embrace the Lord.
One of the most striking messages dwelt on “Why Many People Will Miss The Rapture!” This message produced a spectacular response from the audience, aided by Pastor Mpumechi’s direct, very blunt way of delivering his messages. For instance, in the course of one of the messages, he looked sternly on the congregation and declared: “If you are a Watchman and you still live in sin, you will go to hell!”

The various themes were with amazing exhaustiveness. Charismatic Signs came away with the impression that this might, after all, be a very effective way of carrying out gospel crusades.
Unlike all the noise about signs and wonders that mark many crusades these days, where diverse kinds of people would come, receive miracles and go away in the same sinful state they had come, this one has a special appeal and impact, a capacity to cause men to fall before the Lord in repentance. What happens is that the piercing truth people have heard would liberate them and cause them to make decisions that would lead them to salvation. Indeed, these are messages that are required for this hour.
