TOUCHING STORY
How Bishop Benson Idahosa Raised the Dead for the First Time.
At just 24 years old, a young man named Benson Idahosa was serving in church. He was an evangelist and the Christ Ambassador Director. One day his pastor stood before the congregation and declared the words of Jesus: “Cast out demons, cleanse the lepers, heal the sick, raise the dead…”
Young Idahosa’s eyes lit up. He interrupted.
“Who said that?”
“Jesus said it,” the pastor replied.
Idahosa pressed further. “Did you say Jesus said that I can cast out demons, cleanse the lepers, heal the sick, and raise the dead?”
“Yes.”
“Have you done it before?”
The pastor admitted, “No.”
Idahosa’s voice rose with holy boldness: “Can I do it?”
The pastor was stunned. “What!”
That was all the young man needed to hear. He grabbed his bicycle—affectionately nicknamed his “Rolls Royce”—and his Bible, and rode out into the streets of Benin City, Edo State. Not Jerusalem. Not some distant revival ground. His own city. Street after street he searched, asking anyone he met, “Where is the dead?”
People stared. “Why are you looking for the dead?”
His answer was simple and fearless: “My pastor told me to raise them up.”
For hours he rode. Finally he came to a house where a family was mourning. A three-year-old child had just died. Idahosa walked in and asked, “Did anybody die here?”
“Yes,” they answered.
He shouted, “Hallelujah!”
They were shocked. “What are you happy about?”
“I have been looking for the dead for the past five hours,” he said, “and now I have found a three-year-old child.”
They asked what he intended to do. Without hesitation he declared, “I have come to raise the dead.”
The grieving parents led him to where the little body lay. Idahosa took the child in his arms. He had never done this before. He did not know left from right in the realm of the miraculous. He began to pray with tears, but nothing happened. The child seemed even more lifeless. Frustration and fear gripped him. There was only one door in that room—no escape.
“Oh God!!!” he cried.
He opened his Bible to the very passage his pastor had read that morning—the commission of Jesus. Then he found the account of Jesus raising the dead. He noticed that Jesus first drove everyone out of the room. So young Idahosa did the same. He sent the family and onlookers out into the corridor. They stood there watching, waiting.
He continued reading. Jesus said to the dead girl, “Arise!”
Idahosa closed the Bible, turned to the parents still standing outside, and asked for the child’s name.
“Inuaghata,” they answered.
Something rose up inside him—a holy anger mixed with the last of Samson’s strength. He placed his hands on the child and shouted with everything in him:
“In the Name of Jesus Christ of Nazareth, Inuaghata, I command you to rise up right now in Jesus’ Name!”
In five seconds the child sneezed… and rose up.
Alive.
Benson Idahosa had no Doctor of Divinity. No certificate from a Bible school. No theological degree. He was simply a young novice who heard the Word of Jesus, believed it, and dared to act on it. And it worked.
That was the day a 24-year-old African evangelist stepped into the miraculous for the first time—on a bicycle, in Benin City, with nothing but faith and the Name of Jesus.
The same Jesus who said it then still says it now.
