The July edition of the Mountain of Fire and Miracles Ministries’ monthly Power Must Change Hands programme was engulfed with jubilation and thanksgiving to God, as the youngest accountant in Nigeria, 16-year-old Danielle Clement Egberanmwen, testified of God’s faithfulness in her success.
This came barely a year after another member, Joshua Olusanya, told the congregation how he became the world record holder and entered the Guinness Book of Records as the longest trumpeter.
Just as Joshua Olusanya, who emerged as the first person to win the Guinness World Record in the longest marathon trumpet blowing, which he played for 25 hours, 30 minutes and 36 seconds in the 5th July 2025 PMCH programme, Danielle became Nigeria’s youngest qualified accountant and stormed the PMCH/annual Water of Fire Service on 4th July, 2026 with her outstanding testimony.
Danielle is now an inspiration to a new generation, with many expressing hope that her story will encourage more young people to remain steadfast, pursue excellence and believe that extraordinary achievements are within reach when such ambitions are backed up with reliance in God and hard work.
The teenager, who was enthusiastic to share her testimony of a record-breaking milestone, told the congregation how, through prayer and encouragement from her parents, she became the youngest accountant at age 16.
According to her, the journey began three years ago, after her secondary school term.
She credited her parents for their encouragement and honestly shared that she even failed one of her final professional papers before ultimately pushing through.
Her testimony drew widespread praise and thanksgiving from the members of the congregation.
She told the capacity crowd of worshippers, “My name is Danielle Clement Egberanmwen, and I am a member of MFM Women of Fire Region 1, We Care Ministry.”
She said that her parents encouraged her to enrol for ICAN’s Accounting Technicians Scheme (ATS) examinations, instead of waiting until she was old enough for university admission.
“I am 16 years old. I started this ICAN journey three years ago after finishing my secondary school early,” she said. “My parents encouraged me to start writing the ICAN examinations through ATS instead of just waiting around until I got to the right age for university.”
According to her, the journey was particularly challenging because she did not study accounting in secondary school.
“I wasn’t an accounting student in secondary school, so the exams, especially at the first level, proved very difficult, more difficult than they probably were for other people at the same level,” she said.
“But I had to put in extra effort, and with the grace of God, I was able to pass that first level. Ever since then, it has been a success.”
Danielle said she refused to give up, even after she failed a paper in her final examination last year.
“Last year, I failed one of my final papers, unfortunately, which I had to rewrite earlier this year in May,” she recalled.
“To the glory of God, I passed that examination, and now I can say that I am a qualified accountant of the institute at 16 years old.”
The teenager acknowledged the role of prayer and the spiritual guidance she received from MFM as having played significant roles in her success story.
After her testimony on the altar, she, in company with her parents, met with the General Overseer, MFM worldwide, Dr Daniel Olukoya, in his office.
Olukoya, who warmly celebrated her achievement, prayed for her and praised her hard work, discipline, and resilience as a testament to God’s grace.
He said, “Today, we celebrate with one of our own, Danielle Osasere Clement-Egberanmwen, as she shares the inspiring testimony of becoming Nigeria’s youngest Chartered Accountant at just 16 years old.
“This extraordinary achievement stands as a powerful testament to God’s faithfulness and what can be accomplished through diligence, discipline, resilience, and an unwavering commitment to excellence.
“Her journey is an inspiration to young people everywhere, proving that with God’s grace, determination, and a clear vision, age is never a barrier to greatness.
“Congratulations, Osasere! We pray that this remarkable milestone will be the beginning of even greater accomplishments and that God will continue to lead you from glory to glory.”
