During a recent service held on Tuesday, September 9, the preacher, famed for his miracles and sharing controversial religious views, was overwhelmed by the packed auditorium and participation from members.
Before the programme, Obinim in a video inviting members, beseeched them to bring photographs of themselves and loved ones for spiritual protection.
When he called for the pictures, during the service, scores of members marched forward and left their photos on the stage.
Obinim's large church in Tema overflowed with members anticipating their miracles.
While preaching during his recent service, the bishop was overjoyed that his church had bounced back.
He established that God was showing him mercy after over six years of operating the church with only a few members.
"Jesus Christ has shown mercy again. That's all we've been looking for. For six years, some people left and we never saw them," he said.
"God punished us for about two years and some pastors mocked me. It was in 2021 and 2022. Well-meaning people will realise that my confidence has been restored," he added.
After Bishop Obinim's message, the congregation flocked to the state, celebrating their resurgence.
