Outspoken disability rights activist Michael Makarina has addressed public questions over why he is still using a wheelchair despite declaring that he received divine healing during a mega prayer rally led by Prophet David Owuor in Nakuru County.
Makarina, a well-known advocate for the rights of persons with disabilities, shared a photo from the Repentance and Holiness Ministry’s New Year mega rally, showing him seated in his wheelchair as Prophet Owuor prayed over him before thousands of congregants.
Taking to Facebook, the activist insisted that he had indeed received healing during the prayer session, even though he has not yet stood or walked.
“I have received healing. It is just that my legs are afraid to walk because they are not used to it,” Makarina wrote.
He explained that years of immobility had left his legs hesitant, stressing that the delay in walking should not be mistaken for lack of divine intervention.
Makarina also took aim at critics questioning the authenticity of his healing, referring to them as “doubting Thomases,” and urged them to wait patiently.
“When that day comes and I finally stand, don’t ask me questions. Just say, ‘Praise the Lord,’” he stated.
The disability rights activist further defended Prophet Owuor’s ministry, urging followers to maintain faith while dismissing skeptics.
“Let Prophet Owuor continue doing God’s work for those who have faith. Those of you without it, stay with your problems,” he added.
The Nakuru rally, which serves as a spiritual hub for Prophet Owuor’s Repentance and Holiness Ministry, attracted hundreds of thousands of worshippers from Kenya and across the world. The gathering featured prayers, worship sessions, and testimonies of healing, drawing both devoted followers and public scrutiny.
Makarina’s remarks have since sparked widespread debate online, with supporters applauding his faith while critics continue to question claims of miraculous healing associated with large-scale religious gatherings.
