Super Falcons captain, Rasheedat Ajibade, returned to the Mountain of Fire and Miracles Ministries (MFM) along the Lagos-Ibadan Expressway, Ogun State, to celebrate the Women’s Africa Cup of Nations (WAFCON) win with the church’s overseer, Dr. Daniel Olukoya.
Rasheedat Ajibade, whose performance helped the Super Falcons of Nigeria secure a thrilling 3-2 final victory over Morocco, showcased her WAFCON winner’s medal and personal awards on the altar of the MFM’s Prayer City during the church’s Power Must Change Hands service on Saturday, August 2.
Standing before thousands of worshippers, Ajibade shared her testimony of resilience and faith, tracing her journey from a young girl hawking homemade drinks at MFM deliverance programs to becoming the nation’s football captain.
“I want to appreciate Pastor Dr. Olukoya for his love, for his support in the place of prayer,” she said. “I could remember this very little girl standing here today to testify. I was once that little girl out there hawking olive oil, hawking zobo, and hawking kunu in most of the deliverance programs. But today, I give God the glory because the God of the Mountain of Fire Miracles Ministries is still in the business of lifting men.”
Her words resonated deeply with the congregation, some of whom might have remembered Ajibade’s early days around the Prayer City, long before she wore the green and white jersey on the world stage.
The Atlético Madrid Femenino star also opened up about the difficult path to the tournament.
“Sometimes last year, I was here to testify after God led the team to qualify for the Olympics after 16 years,” she recalled. “Fast forward to May while I was with my club, it was a very difficult season for me.”
That season, she revealed, was marked by pain and uncertainty. “It was really tough. I was going through injuries, pains, and all sorts of things. I didn’t know how to figure it out, but I just came here quickly”, she added.
The star athlete credited her healing and breakthrough to persistent prayer, divine intervention, and the spiritual support from Pastor Olukoya.
Her testimony drew rapturous applause, with many in the crowd visibly moved, not just by her football success, but by her humble beginnings and unshakable faith.

Ajibade’s journey has become a symbol of possibility, especially for young Nigerian girls who see in her story a reflection of their own dreams. Her words weren’t just a celebration of a sporting milestone, they were a call to perseverance.
“Please, don’t give up,” she urged. “Keep praying, keep fasting, keep working, and keep believing.”
