About Chioma Jesus

Evangelist Mrs Amaka Okwuoha, popularly called [Chioma Jesus], was born on the 12th of February in Aba, Abia State, Nigeria. She was born to late Nze Euzebius Chukwumaeze Ebizie, Omeokachie 1 Of Amanator & Lolo Dorathy Ebizie Of Ogboza Autonomous Community, Amanator clan in Ideato south Local Government Area, Imo State, Nigeria. Unfortunately Chioma Jesus lost both father and mother at a tender age, Leaving seven children with her as the eldest among them.

Christianity – born again on the 28th Of August, 1986, at a very tender age in a revival programme organized by her local church in her village. She is a member of scripture union [SU]. As a highly committed born again christian, she suffered several persecutions both at home and in school. In her final year during her secondary school days, the school authority and the final year students agreed to contribute money for exam malpractice, Amaka being a highly committed born again christian even though very young was the only student in the whole school, who said that she was not contributing any money to bribe the examiners as to allow them practice examination malpractice. She decided that it is better for her to fail her WAEC than sin against God by involving in such crime. Other final year students planned to disturb her in the examination hall in addition of confiscating her properties. She reported this to one of her brother, OAU Ugoha who wrote a petition to the school and informed the principal of the school the consequences of their action. The issue raised very serious controversy both in the school and in the community; this helped to put a stop to their action and even the planned examination malpractice.

GENESIS OF HER MINISTRY

Amaka started singing in her local church and in the scripture union fellowship as soloist, chorus leader backed up with local instruments and at time without instruments especially in the scripture union fellowships. She also gives special numbers that are heart touching and soul inspiring in various local church programmes and crusades. Sometimes her immediate younger sister Ogechi will back her up.
This seriously led to her invitation to sing in various meetings, fellowships and crusades which cut across denominations.
