Jim Bramlett: The dramatic film documentary (now available) of a remarkable modern-day Lazarus (Daniel Ekechukwu), certified dead and injected with embalming fluids before reviving three days later at a Bonnke meeting, is so well-documented that no one can be unaffected by the report. The "21st Century Resurrection Story" features interviews with one of the doctors who certified Ekechukwu dead, and the mortician. Daniel, who was resurrected, said that while dead he had been told his return to life would be "a last warning to this generation."

Reinhard Bonnke Video Documents Modern-Day Lazarus

Nigerian certified dead, but revived days later at evangelist's meeting.

The dramatic documentary of a modern-day Lazarus has been released by international evangelist Reinhard Bonnke. The German preacher who
has led crusades in Africa for 30 years says that the remarkable resurrection of Daniel Ekechukwu is so well-documented that no one can be unaffected by the report.

Bonnke's Christ for All Nations (CfAN) ministry has released a 45-minute
video of Ekechukwu's testimony, and also reported at its Web site how
the Nigerian pastor had been certified dead and injected with embalming
fluids before reviving three days later at a Bonnke meeting.

Ekechukwu's wife was so sure that God would bring her husband back to
life after he was fatally injured in an auto accident that she persuaded
the local mortuary to allow her to take his body to the church where
Bonnke was preaching.

There pastors lifted Ekechukwu from the coffin in which he had been
laid, and were amazed when the man started to breathe again as they
prayed for him. The CfAN video includes footage of Ekechukwu beginning to stir, and later returning to the mortuary where his body had been laid out.

The "Raised from the Dead" report, subtitled "A 21st Century Resurrection Story," features interviews with one of the doctors who
certified Ekechukwu dead, and the mortician. "It's shocking," one of
them tells the video team. "Seeing a dead man, someone that was once
dead and is now alive...it is very shocking. To God all glory should
go."

Nneka Ekechukwu says that when her husband was pronounced dead after last November's accident, she remembered promises God had given her that she would not suffer any more misfortune. "I said: 'This can't happen. I must do something, to prove God again.'"

On the third day after the accident, Ekechukwu's body was taken in its
coffin to a church in Ontisha, where Bonnke was preaching at a service.
The body was taken out of its coffin and put on a table in the church's
conference center, where several pastors began to pray.

Senior pastor Pat Nwachkuw Sr. tells the CfAN documentary makers that
when members of the church learned about Ekechwuku's resurrection, a
woman who had been on crutches threw them away and started running, and her husband ran to the church altar to ask God to forgive him his sins.

Interviewed by CfAN, Ekechukwu says when he was being taken to the
hospital in the ambulance, he was visited by two angels and taken to
heaven. There he saw a "multitude" of people dressed in white who were
singing and praising God. Then he was taken to hell, he says.

The angel told him that he had "another chance" to go back, and that the
rich man's request to Lazarus -- to warn those still alive about hell --
had been "granted to this generation." Ekechukwu said that he had been
told he could return to the living to give "a last warning to this
generation."

In commentary on the video, Bonnke says that the testimony -- which has been reported in Nigerian newspapers -- spoke of "stubborn faith and the miracle power of Jesus." Ekechukwu's story is a "sign from heaven," he says.

The following banner headline appeared in the Nigerian newspaper,
The Post Express - "BONNKE RAISES MAN FROM DEATH IN ONITSHA."
