The devil can do everything to make us curse God in our mind just as he did to Job. We must be strong and determined to resist him, steadfastly.

Uma Ukpai

Uma Ukpai (1945–2025) war ein nigerianischer Pastor und Massenevangelist der pfingstlich-charismatischen Bewegung mit zentralem Wirkungsort in Uyo. Er wurde durch überkonfessionelle Großveranstaltungen, Heilungskampagnen und soziale Einrichtungen bekannt, wobei die von ihm verkündeten Wunderheilungen von Kritikern als wissenschaftlich unbelegt eingestuft wurden. Bibellesern gilt er als einflussreicher Vertreter der westafrikanischen Erweckungsbewegung, dessen Schriften und Zitate die Themen Gebet, persönliche Umkehr und Standhaftigkeit betonen.
