In Matthew 16:18, Jesus says: “And I say also unto thee, That thou art Peter, and upon this rock I will build my church; and the gates of hell shall not prevail against it.”

And so shall it be with ARENA in Jesus Name Amen.

This is the promise God had made with the General Overseer of God’s Arena of Liberty GOAL aka “Enough is Enough”.

Since early this year, satan has been fighting against the fellowship of God through all forms of tricks, but the power of God remains supreme.

We have heard of lies, blackmails, name calling, which had led to many people leaving the fellowship. God is not a liar and He keeps His promises .

Many who came to see the Prophet performing signs and wonders have left, while those who came to see “Master Jesus” have remained resolute in their faith waiting for their open doors to come.

Jesus declares that the church he builds will be an enduring force that cannot be defeated by the powers of evil or death.

He has Risen!

The experience of Friday was like the church was going to wind up, but God turned the situation for good. As early as 9.30 only four persons including the General Overseer Prophet Sunday Enu Obi were in the church. The chairs were completely empty, but the God of Arena did it in His own way.

And behold, there were multitudes during the service. He redeemed his promises and didn’t allow the enemy to have its way – Alleluia!

The Prophet of our time, Prophet Sunday Enu Obi, in his usual humble manner had cried out to his Master before now as he danced round the choir stand and his Altar seeking direction from God.

He had thanked and appreciated Him for His mercies and protection upon the commission and the entire congregation.

Pastor David Ibeh presenting the Intercessory prayer points

Earlier, Pst David Ibeh had presented the Intercessory prayer points as led by the Holy Spirit saying “Empty me of pride, Lord, that You may fill me with humility -James 4:6, “God opposes the proud but gives grace to the humble and Strip away every weight and sin that hinders Your Spirit in me (Hebrews 12:1), “Let us lay aside every weight, and the sin which so easily ensnares us”_

He continues “Empty my heart of fear and doubt so that faith can take full residence (2 Timothy 1:7), “For God has not given us a spirit of fear, but of power and of love and of a sound mind”, Pour out my self-reliance, Father, and teach me total dependence on You (John 15:5), Purge the church of empty religion and fill us afresh with Your Holy Spirit (Acts 2:4), “And they were all filled with the Holy Spirit” and make us empty vessels ready for Your glory to dwell and overflow (2 Corinthians 4:7).

This session was glorifying in the sight of God Almighty.

The testimonies were heart breaking followed by the thirty minutes worship by the congregation. It was a time to ponder and reflect on our lives. And the Lord heard the supplications of His children and sent refillment to wipe away their tears.

Pastor Stanley Williams delivering the Word

The Arena Echo International choir rendered her Special No “Never Again” to honour God. It was special as the congregation applauded in appreciation.

Earlier, the Prophet had tabled his accommodation issue to God as the church prayed against every evil plan towards him and the family. Also, they prayed for a quick accommodation to avert any form of embarrassment.

While appreciating God, he recalled that the children of Israel were in captivity before they were delivered by God as he declared that God will deliver us in this service today in Jesus Name, Amen. His mercies endureth forever. He is God Forever. Nobody can take his glory nor will He share it with anyone”.

His mercies speak for us. They are new every morning. He said that we shall be liberated from the spirit of emptier in Jesus Name Amen.

Prophet Sunday Enu Obi however introduced the guest speaker Pst Stanley Williams to the Pulpit to present the Word entitled “The Spirit Of Empmptier”. He appreciated God for this day. Lead text is from Nahum 2:2.

Emptier is a spirit or an agent or forces of darkness that brings destruction. It is a spiritual chain that keeps one in one place without moving forward.

He says it could be described as a spirit of dryness, a cycle of failure, a pattern, barrier or evil pattern.

Today, he says there is good news. That spirit of emptier is cast out in Jesus Name, Amen. He described it as a spirit that makes you toil for years without achieving anything in life.

Pst. Williams says it is called the spirit of wasted years and it will not be our portion in Jesus Name, Amen.

According to him, “limitation is that line which the forces of darkness have drawn from generations as a kind of pattern in the family. Make up your mind that whatever you went through in life that your children will not repeat it in Jesus Name, Amen.

He continues,” it is because of the mercy of God that we are not consumed, for mercy availeth much, it does not fall, they are new every morning.” As long as you are alive, you are in God’s register. God is a time setter. He knows the right time to give you that which you are looking for. For further reference read the following Bible verses Psa.103:1–4/Isa 49:16.

Speaking, the G/O, had appreciated the guest speaker for the Word presented. He says there is a spirit behind every failure. When the spirit of frustration sets in, things begin to fall apart. Most people go to church but are dry due to the spirit of emptier.

Some make vow and do not redeem. Hannah cried out to the Lord and her womb opened for babies. Today I refuse to be a beggar. I will be recognized. Satan stay away from me because I am not Job. Until you give your self to God, the spirit of emptier shall not leave you.

He declare refillment of blessings upon the lives of believers in Jesus Name Amen. Read Matt 12:42-48/Eccl 3:1-7/Eph. 5:18.

The seven prayer points were handled by the Resident Pastor Prophet Victor Onen according to the theme for the service.

He prayed against the spirit of emptier, that there shall be a restoration in our lives today, prayed for refillment in our lives, against John 10:10, against emptier on our finances, marriage, business and career in Jesus Name Amen.

The ministration was very unique during the service. Many victims were sorted out and delivered.

It was divine and powerful. The hand of God was present to heal His children.
