Why We Pray “Die By Fire” Prayers – Dr. DK Olukoya

LAGOS – Dr D.K. Olukoya, General Overseer of the Mountain of Fire and Miracles Ministries, has released a fresh teaching to clear the air on the ministry’s popular but often criticised prayer point, “Die By Fire.”

NaijaChoice News reports that the message directly tackles misconceptions, stressing that the prayer is not about wishing harm on people but a targeted spiritual weapon against forces of darkness. Olukoya explained it as a declaration that destroys evil plantations, stubborn problems and satanic assignments hindering destinies.

The cleric posed a key question in the teaching: “When we pray the ‘Die By Fire’ prayer in Mountain of Fire and Miracles Ministries, what are we truly saying?” He described it as a command rooted in Scripture, calling down divine judgment on works of darkness to enforce freedom and total restoration.

Olukoya emphasised that true spiritual warfare demands understanding, faith and holiness. He outlined biblical support for bold declarations and warned against using the prayer without proper authority or precision.

The new teaching also offers practical guidelines for deliverance sessions. It forms part of MFM’s long-standing theology of aggressive prayer, a style that has shaped millions of believers across Nigeria.

Headquartered on the outskirts of Lagos, the Mountain of Fire and Miracles Ministries has grown into a global Pentecostal force with branches in dozens of countries. Its emphasis on deliverance continues to draw huge crowds in a nation where spiritual battles are taken very seriously.

The full message is already circulating on the ministry’s official Facebook page, YouTube channels and other platforms. Olukoya urged members and viewers to engage deeply with it for stronger victory in their own prayer lives.
