Cyril Obiora Uramu is an ordained minister of the gospel, a pastor and a pharmacist. He was born in October 10 1957 at Nzam, Anambra West Local Government Area of Anambra State in Nigeria to Chief and Mrs. Vincent Uramu. He had his primary education at St. Mary’s Primary School at Nzam and completed his secondary education at Trinity Secondary Technical School, Araromi, Apapa Lagos. He graduated from University of Ife, Ile Ife (Nigeria) in 1983 with Bachelor of Pharmacy degree.
Brother Uramu attended the Redeemed Christian Bible College in 2008/2009 at Imo Campus under Imo Province of the Redeemed Christian Church of God. He also attended the School of Disciples in 2009 in Imo Province. Brother Uramu started his pastoring career in 2007 in Imo Province and has pastored many parishes since then.
His writing career started in the 1980s when he used to contribute articles to some daily newspaper publications. His journey into Christian writing started shortly after his receiving baptism of the Holy Spirit under the Charismatic renewal movement. His first Christian title was Rejoicing in Hope in 2003/2004. This book discusses the virtues of hope and joy, and the strength they communicate in trials and troubling circumstances. The book came out of inspiration of the Holy Spirit while studying the epistle to the Romans chapter 12 verses 10 to 12.
The follow-up to the first book was The Proof of True Christian Call. Brother Uramu was invited as a resource person in a Charismatic retreat and he had taught on proving your call through service. Led by the Holy Spirit he wrote an article on the topic for a Christian journal. Still at the nudge of the Holy Spirit, he turned the article into an 80-page book.
The next book project bore the title, Created to Manifest Greatness. The inspiration came through a chance encounter with a certain church bulletin. The fourth book is tilted I Know Who I am. This was the title of my Bible College dissertation which I expanded into a book.
So far Brother Uramu has written 19 books on diverse Christian titles or topics as at 2024. Only one out of these is published as hardcopy - Believer’s Rights and Privileges. Others are currently available in soft copies in Amazon and Bambooks.
The journey into books publication and marketing is a tough one. It is expected that soon the others will be available in hard copies. Brother Uramu is a part-time lecturer at the Redeemed Christian Bible College and a teacher/speaker at charismatic seminars and retreats. Brother Uramu is married with four children and resides in Lagos, Nigeria.
As a final remark, I add this. I had never at any point in time planned to write any of these nineteen books. Each of these came by divine inspiration – by the leading, guidance and direction of the Holy Spirit. The hand of God was strong upon me, particularly when I wrote the book, The Power of Promise. The facility and ease with which I wrote the book amazed me personally.
The only book I had in mind to write, and am yet to write, is a collection of the beautiful sermons the Holy Spirit gave me to preach in my career as a pastor.
Therefore, I want to register here my deep appreciation, love and gratitude to God for His quickening hand upon me by the ever present inspiration of the Holy Spirit.
