God was still in the business of doing good at any time in the lives of believers and those who call upon His Holy Name. He did it again during Friday’s Service with the theme “The Blessings Of Forgiveness” at God’s Arena Of Liberty (GOAL) aka”Enough is Enough”.
In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God – John 1:1.
It was a gloomy weather with very high cold and the atmosphere was dull. The faces were dull too. But the spirit of God came down upon the people in readiness to let go or to forgive those who had wronged them, light came and overshadowed and recovered sad mood – Amen.
As soon as the Spirit of God came down, the story changed. The spirit of forgiveness stood tall amongst every other spirit and there were laugher and joy in the congregation.
The Prophet in the House, Prophet Sunday Obi had noticed the mood of the people and called for forgiveness amongst the worshippers. Their heavy hearts became softened and ready to hear the Word of God.
Almost all members came out to open their hearts to forgive those that had wronged them wholeheartedly. The Holy Spirit was at hand to accept genuine forgiveness from them and so it went.
God had charged us to forgive one another for us to receive his blessings. By so doing, the blessings of forgiveness was guaranteed during the service.
And his words came to pass. The blessings were too numerous to mention. It came in various dimensions. Marriages were restored, business, career and broken homes restored.
The Intercessory prayer point was conducted by the son of Prophet, Victor Onen accordingly.
He gave thanks and appreciation to God, saying that prayers without forgiveness are not granted, seek for mercy from God in our lives, Oh Lord give me a clean heart so that I may not sin, Oh Lord I command every spirit of forgiveness out of my life, out of my marriage, career and business.
He says that unforgiveness is sin. Let the spirit of unforgiveness out of my life, I command the spirit to die, our of our lives, as I begin to forgive, let the blessings begin to follow me, let the yoke of unforgiveness be broken, I begin to claim the blessings of testimony, prophecy, celebration of healing and favour, Amen!.
This is just the simple truth, God’s own general, Prophet Sunday Obi, cannot function in the spirit realm without allowing at least thirty minutes worship.
He is very loaded at the end of worships. He speaks and it stands. He declares, and it came to pass. Spiritually, he is in another realm. Glory be to God.
He enjoys worship more than anything during Friday’s Service and he has kept faith with it. God loves him. Oh what a gift to humanity. And yet, people within this environment doesn’t appreciate what they have. The giant of Africa, had never loss sleep whether they come to access the presence of God or not, the few that connects with him, he delivers them.
His heart is full of love. He doesn’t like seeing believers suffer from afflictions. So many have received their blessings and never come back to show appreciations. What an irony.
And the appointed time to deliver the Word came as he introduced the guest speaker, Apostle Agnes Arop. Sh spoke on the Theme “The blessings of forgiveness”.
She gave thanks to God and appreciated his mercy upon our lives.
“Unforgiveness hinders the blessings from God. Learn to forgive. Learn to be like Jesus Christ. Forgiveness draws us closer to God. It is a matter of grace”.
Apostle Arop recalls that the wages of sin is death. God says I will do a new thing in your life.(Lk 17:3-4).
“Forgiveness is a state of experiencing God’s grace and mercy, blessing is a prayer asking God to look kindly upon the people who are present or at the event that is taking place”.
She says, “if we persist in an unforgiving attitude towards one another, we cannot fully experience God. Unforgiving spirit shows that we have not fully accepted God”.
“Learn to forgive. It is a better thing to forgive. If you refuses to forgive, this corrupt us the more”
There are goodness attached to forgiveness. It releases us from bondage, it gives us the freedom to grow, it connects us with God, it restored joy, affirms mercy, it proves obedience and takes us from lower to higher level.
Also, there are benefits when you forgives, he recalls. It gives you mental health and it adds to relationship.
You can read the following Bible verses for further study. 2Cor 2:6/Lk9:8/John 3:17/Gal.6:1/Eph.4:32/Cool 3:13/Psa 51:1/51:14/Gal.5:22-23.
Prophet Sunday Obi, described the service as an awesome experience. He enumerated the benefits of forgiveness to include, mental health, open relationship, boost physical health, it starts healing in your life, and leave a legacy of love.
Obi believes in doctrine of tomorrow that what today has in stock.
He says forgiveness reconciles and connects us with God always.
The service was awesome and glorious. The Mother of the Commission, Mama Sarah Abraham, anchored the corporate prayers.
She thanked God in appreciation and for forgiveness, prayed against vengeance spirit, prayed for forgiveness from God, let the blessings begin to come, against unforgiving spirit, God you are too faithful to fail us and that God should provide, protect the Prophet and his entire family as well as members of our families.
The week was heavily loaded as the long awaited Marriage Seminar came on August 18th, 2024.
Four different speakers presented their papers and there were questions and answers.
They are Apostle Ubong Thompson who spoke on “Vital things to do before marriage (Singles/Engaged), Rev. Mrs Kate Obi “Self Control in Marriage”, Elder Samuel Esege who spoke on “The origin of marriage and ethics” and Evang. Nengi Iwa Ebeten “Bitter truths about marriage”.

The service ended in praise! There were testimonies, healing, deliverance and blessings.
