The journey to the pulpit and eventual stardom has its humble beginning in 1981, when Bishop Oriname Oyonnude-kure attended a ministerial school at the international bible training college (IBTC). One significant word the bible uses in describing heroes of faith, old and new is “vessels”. 

Generally, a vessel’s worth is determined by what it carries and by what is in it. God’s word is replete with various kinds of vessels: some vessels are empty Jer. 51:34) some are vessels wherein is no pleasure at all (Jer. 48:38); some vessels are specially chosen Acts 9:15). This man Bishop Oriname Oyonnude Kure, a rainbow in the sky of Our time is a rare vessel by virtue of the unusual dimension of his anointing and grace. The supernatural presence of God in manifestation in his ministry is a result of his brokenness, total submission, meekness, Joy and the other gifts of the spirit.
