PROFILE OF Apostle ELISHAMA IDEH
All the world's a stage,
And all the men and women merely players;
They have their exits and their entrances;
And one man in his time plays many parts,
His acts being seven ages.
The above are the words of Williams Shakespeare in one of his most celebrated plays–As You Like It–and without any doubt whatsoever, they capture in no small measure, the essence of the kaleidoscopic life of this wonderful woman that has continued to astound many by the multifaceted aspects of her life and Ministry.
A Minister of God’s gospel with a distinct and quite unique prophetic apostolic voice unto the Nations, Evangelist Elishama Ideh was called and specifically set apart to touch the world with the LOVE OF CHRIST. It was this Call that gave birth to Christ The Ever-Present Ministries (CTEM): a Ministry that blazed the trail in the practical demonstration of God’s love, by reaching-out to those people society consider as destitute, hopeless rejects, good-for-nothing, indeed the wretched of the earth with the message of love, and in the process giving them hope of a better and assured future. Thus she has had to go where others would not ordinarily dare: dens/hideouts of known criminals, under the bridges, abandoned buildings, brothels and the like. And to the glory of God, the results of her several outreaches have been nothing short of phenomenal.
With CTEM, Elishama has been able to reveal the LOVE OF CHRIST to a dispirited world immune to compassion, by:
ü REACHING THE UNREACHED: the destitute, drug addicts, hardened criminals, prostitutes and delinquents;
ü GIVE HOPE TO THE HOPELESS: by not only preaching to them, but equally equipping them to be resourceful through special trainings and grants;
ü TAKING WHOLE FAMILIES OFF THE STREETS: giving shelter to people who ordinarily have nowhere else to stay but on the streets, under-bridges or abandoned buildings;
ü FEEDING THE HUNGRY, CLOTHING THE NAKED: a deliberate attempt at feeding those who do not have the wherewithal to feed themselves, as well as clothing the naked.
ü OTHER LOVE OF CHRIST ACTIVITIES: these include but not limited to meeting the pressing needs of those who are unable to pay their rents, children’s school fees, medical bills or any other need as they arise.
To complement the work of CTEM (which is mostly spiritual), this woman with a resourceful and tenacious, never-say-die spirit also founded Partnership For A New Nigeria (PFANN), a socio-advocacy group committed to awakening the consciousness of all Nigerians towards engendering the birth of a NEW NIGERIA and the REALISATION OF GOD’S AGENDA for this country. PFANN’s objectives are being executed through the following:
ü KINGDOM DIMENSION SERIES: a series of conferences traversing the length and breadth of this country which provide an invaluable platform for educating Christians on the urgent need to take a more active part in the governance of this country.
ü NIGERIA: A NATION CHOSEN BY CHOSEN: a timely and prophetic insight (in Audio, Video & DVD formats) into the state of the Nigerian nation, our prophetic destiny, as well as a way out the present quagmire.
ü LIGHT THE TORCH, RAISE YOUR FLAG: a project that seeks to ignite the flame of patriotism and celebration of our national symbols.
The Elishama Ideh Foundation not only handles her other philanthropic endeavours, but equally coalesces the activities of both CTEM and PFANN and serves as a melting point and engine room of their various functions.
Without any doubt whatsoever, Elishama, like Shakespeare says, is indeed a woman who plays many parts: mother of three grown children Vanessa,Rukeme and Ejiro , minister of God’s gospel, accomplished author, philanthropist, extraordinaire, entrepreneur par excellence, media personality, a much sought after conference speaker, political activist and social crusader. No wonder, she is a Recipient of many awards, both locally and internationally, in respect of her outstanding contributions to God’s kingdom here on earth and national development.
Then most recently on the 11th July 2015 'The Elishama Ideh World Impact Ministries was Inaugurated.The focus of this Ministries is to Raise Men/Women of Impact,but right now,this ever tenacious woman of God is kick-starting with Mentoring women and Raising Leaders to make impact in their generation.
