Baba
Simeo Ondeto did many miracles. He was many things to many men. He preached the
message of hope and eternal life. Always, he reminded humanity to work and
pray. For him, there is no faith that can be demonstrated without work.
“Work
hard every day so you do not steal,” he reminded his followers.
“Without
work life can never get better,” he said.
“I
came with only two things: work and prayer,” he taught.
But
apart from giving prominence to work and prayer, Simeo Ondeto also performed
numerous miracles in order to improve the conditions of the people he met in
his life. Yet, he never prioritized miracles over his message. He did not
preach miracles, but eternal life. To him, it was better to die and receive the
miracle of eternal life, than to receive a miracle of wealth, power or healing
and remain in sin.
Resurrection
Miracles
Even
though he had the power to give life, Simeo did not raise the dead every day.
He did not call the world to bring their dead to him so he could bring all of
them back to life. He always concentrated on his message and reminded people
that this earthly life is just a stage to be passed. He always affirmed the
greatness and glory of everlasting life which awaits all who trust God with
their future. Nonetheless, there were occasions when his compassion overwhelmed
him and his pity for the bereaved compelled him to raise the dead. Therefore,
when he visited a Holy Ghost church in Gombania Tanzania, a man died when
members of the church were praying for him. And he raised the man back to life.
Simeo
Ondeto had pity on a woman who came crying to him when he was in Kisumu. He
gave that woman his headgear to be worn on the head of the woman’s dead
husband. When this happened, Amoke of Asembo, who lived in Kisumu, was brought
back to life. In a third incident, Simeo Ondeto raised to life a teenage girl
called Angeline, the daughter of an affluent family in Seme, Central Nyanza. In
a fourth incident, Simeo Ondeto raised back to life the Son of Kalaudia in
Makongeni Nairobi. Simeo also raised back to life a woman in Nakuru and another
woman in Winam Kisumu.

Cures 10 Years of Bleeding
Simeo
Ondeto cured several people from their sicknesses. He met with Dalmas Oyier who
was crippled and could not walk, and ordered Oyier to walk! Dalmas Oyier walked
as Baba Simeo had ordered. Baba Simeo also met with Joseph Obote who was dumb
and breathed into Obote’s mouth. Obote was immediately healed and started
speaking. But most important was the healing of Salome Owiny who had been ill
for ten years. Owiny had gone round to hospitals but could not find cure. Her
bleeding was ceaseless. When she met Simeo Ondeto, she was cured with just the
breath from the mouth of Simeo.
Simeo
Calms a Storm
Simeo
did many miracles against nature. While preaching at Ephesus Church, he stopped
rain until he could preach and finish. When he was called to Bumaenga in Western
Kenya, he found the villagers complaining about monkeys who were excessively
destructive. Simeo called the monkeys to a meeting during daylight and all the
monkeys heeded. He ordered the monkeys to stop straying into farms and homes,
and the same day the monkeys stopped.
But most importantly, when Simeo was in a
boat and on a journey to Nazareth, the current suddenly changed and huge waves
started to knock the boat as they approached Wath On’ger. Sadly, a huge log was
also being moved by the current towards the boat. Susana Ouma woke Simeo up
from his sleep, and then he took up some water from the boat and poured into
the stormy waters, and there was immediate calm!
