ERIO 2025: How Babalola Power explosion Became a Festival of Joy and Breakthrough.

July 2, 2025 OLAOLUWA AYOMIDE

There are places on earth where heaven touches the ground. Where prayers rise like smoke and miracles rain down like showers. Erio Mountain is one of those places. It is not just a location. It is a spiritual encounter ground. A place where thousands gather every year with hearts full of burdens and lips soaked in prayers. And this year’s Power Explosion was no different; in fact, it was deeper, heavier, and more glorious.

From the very beginning of the week, you could sense something unusual in the atmosphere. The crowd was overwhelming. Not because people came for entertainment, but because they were tired of oppression, tired of inherited struggles, tired of being under the weight of evil that has stretched across bloodlines. They came with a desperate cry for deliverance. And the God of Erio answered them.

Men and women lifted their voices in intense prayer, binding every satanic covenant, every generational bondage, every invisible chain the enemy had used to tie down their destinies. All around the mountain, you could see people in tears; not of sorrow, but of release. This was not just a gathering. It was war. Spiritual battles were being fought and won in the name of Jesus. Evil was being uprooted and destinies restored.

The servant of God, Prophet Hezekiah Oladeji, whose spiritual mantle burns with the fire of revival, has consistently led this movement with boldness and purity. For over two decades, he has walked the mountain paths, prayed through the night, and stood as an intercessor for God’s people. God chose the theme Power Over Evil for this year’s edition. And from the very first day, that power has been manifesting.

But the story of Erio 2025 is not only a story of warfare. It is also a story of joy. Healing brings laughter. Deliverance gives birth to dancing. God’s presence stirs joy that words cannot explain. This year, something beautiful happened; Woli Agba (Ayo Ajewole) and his team joined the mountain with the oil of gladness. What they brought was more than comedy. It was a divine appointment. People laughed, danced, and praised while still being spiritually sensitive and charged. It was laughter birthed by liberty.

The atmosphere remained electric throughout the week, charged by music that broke chains and ushered in celebration. Gospel ministers from all over Nigeria and beyond came to lift up the name of Jesus. Voices like Bro Busayo, Minister Aremu, L/Evang. Kehinde Adeyeye, Jumoke Praise, Seunfunmi Daramola, Minister Josh, and many others filled the mountain with worship that pierced the heavens. Their songs were not performances. They were prayers. They were weapons.

As the grand finale approached, the spiritual fire kept burning hotter. Ministers like Pastor Femi Success, Dare Amos, Evang. Jesupelumi, and Omo-Ara from the UK raised altars of praise that set hearts ablaze. The Praise Team of Prophet Hezekiah Oladeji stood like warriors, ushering thousands into God’s presence with intensity and reverence.

The mountain was not short of anointed voices. Minister Feranmi, Evang. Tabitha Feranmi, Alice Ariyo, Esteri Ayaba from Ibadan, and Godwins from Delta released divine sounds that ministered healing and freedom. Deborah Praise, Yomi Apala, Nike Kolawole, Titilope Aremi, Ase Irorun, and many more lifted voices that caused demons to tremble and captives to be set free.

From Nigeria to South Africa, and across continents, the sound of worship, intercession, and breakthrough echoed from Erio Mountain. It was a mountain soaked in glory.

If there’s one thing Erio 2025 reminds us, it is this: the devil may have strategies, but our God has dominion. Evil may persist in families, cities, and nations, but the power of God is still real, still potent, and still available. The people who came broken are leaving healed. Those who came bound are leaving free. Generational curses are being cancelled. Yokes are being destroyed.

Erio was full. But more than the crowd, the mountain was full of divine presence. And everyone who stepped foot on that sacred ground knows it wasn’t ordinary. God visited His people. And when God visits, evil bows.

The revival isn’t ending with the final day. It is going home with every attendee. The fire lit on Erio Mountain is meant to be carried into homes, churches, businesses, and cities. This is the generation that will no longer be silent under evil. This is the season when the power of God will speak louder than the voice of affliction.

And if the devil thought he still had ground to stand on, Erio 2025 just reminded him — his time is up.
