“God gives increase. Inspite of the heavy and continuous downpour, the overflow could only be by the hand of God. (I Cor 3:6b)”.
The Theme: “DRY BONES SHALL RISE AGAIN” definitely answered to its name as demonstrated by the Guest Speaker, Pastor Udah Okey, a man not only on fire for God but also fears God.
Concerning the 2023 elections, Prophet Sunday Obi, God’s Own General /Overseer of GOAL Outreach, directed prayers as follows, against raisers of evil money to buy votes of the electorate, against perpetrators of evil cutting across local to federal levels, against all antagonists of God’s choice of president and flushing Aso Rock of every evil one before the new president assumes office.
Following on with the theme in focus, the Prophet pointed that often, as God’s children, “we show God how big our challenge is, instead of showing our challenge how big our God is.
Moving into the congregation already full of expectation, he directed everyone to have ‘eye to eye’ plus ‘palm to palm’ contact with him for divine impartation”.
This led to manifest encounters even as the choir sang “Jesus na big man, na who no know am call am small boy”. Without delay, God conformed his Word by His works (Jn 24:12). His sermon was quite short referring to 2 Kings 5:1 Naaman, etc.
“Some notable testimonies at the fellowship are: girl set free from spirit of lion, (highest order of witchcraft); woman through dance is set free from spirit of sorrow (Jer 17:9), her husband liberated from planned death because of her stand with God Jn 10:10; a pregnant woman set free from lingering death attack and given 30min labour duration for delivery because she is under the prophetic covering secured by the shadow of the Almighty (Ps 91:1)”.
“Through dance of victory, a woman’s husband escaped purported death by accident, two women set free from spirits of old women respectively, woman set free from marine spirit and a young man set free from demonic injury sustained in 2005/could not walk since then but was healed and now can walk.”
According to Philippians 2:10 “That at the name of Jesus every knee should bow, of things in heaven, and things in earth, and things under the earth;” thus negative situations turnaround for good, retrogression to advancement, dead organs restored to fullness of life and the dead are raised. At the mention of that wonderful name “JESUS” Dry Bones Rise Again”.
The Mother of the Ministry, Pst/Mrs. Sarah Abraham, was very conscious of the time while presenting the Intercessory prayers to kick start Friday’s Communion Service tagged “Dry Bones Shall Rise Again”.
Firstly, she prayed for the Servant of God, Prophet Sunday Obi for more grace in his life, prayed for the growth of the Ministry, prayed against anyone or group trying to disparage the name of this Ministry that God should visit them wherever they are with His rout. Read Isa.8:9/Zech.2:5.
She also prayed that God should open the eyes of people to know God’s ARENA Of Liberty (GOAL) is place of deliverance, prayed for the leadership in Cross River State and the incoming President – Provb.29:2.
Also, she offered prayers against our young youth joining cult group across the nation and that because people have stepped their feet in ARENA today, all dry bones in their lives have been jerked back to life – Amen!
The ARENA Echo International choir rendered a special no titled “Natural Love, So Awesome” to the admiration of the congregation.
The Prophet in the House, God’s own general, Prophet Sunday Obi, with humility ushered in the guest speaker, Pst. Udah Okey as he presented the Word to the Glory of God.
Titled “Dry Bones Shall Rise Again”, Okey, after appreciating the Prophet for giving him the opportunity to speak at the service, sought for help from above as he raised praises to honour God.
The praises were enough to heal the sick, cast out demons as well as deliver as many that keyed in as he sang melodiously.
Okey, one of the “charismatic” Pastors in the Commission, was charged by the rendition as he began to prophesy, “today that load on your head will be uploaded in Jesus Name Amen, today all the challenges you came here with shall not go back with you Amen, today dry bones shall rise again, it could be your finances, martial issues, pregnancy, career or business “.
He says, “if you believe in these prophesies so shall it be In Jesus Name Amen.”
“God has directed me to make declarations or prophesy, he pleaded with the Prophet and went on and on and on prophesying”.
He says, “there is no impossibility in Christ Jesus. Today marks the end of pains, sorrows and afflictions.”
“Today God is about to change your story and do something new in our lives. There is power in Jesus Name. Every problem has expiring date and today is that time. Men shall celebrate you as you draw near to Our Lord Jesus as “Lord Savior”.
“Today, there is an opportunity to renew your relationship with Jesus Christ and refrain from sins.”
For further study, read the following, Ps.121:1-8/Matt.9:18/Lk.1:37/Jh.9:1-3/Acts3:7-8.
Before he continued, Prophet Obi joined hands with the congregation to pray for her sister who has been sick for days without recovery.
He thereafter offered prayers for the nation for 2023 general elections and that God should give us a good presidential candidate. Prayed against any plans of the cabal not to allow us have a credible candidate after voting, let God visit all those evil men and women plotting against the masses of this country, that God should project a God-fearing candidate in the 2023 general elections.
Touching on the Word, he says today, every dry bones will come alive in Jesus Name Amen.
“Some of our challenges “stinks”, but those challenges are to glorify God. It is a way to test our faith in God. But right now, there is good news – Amen.”
“Lazarus death is to glorify Jesus Christ”. He cited the story of Neman in the Bible. Today we are going to bathe seven times in River Jordan situated at No.11 Otu Ansa Street Calabar and shout Jesus seven times, all our challenges shall disappear.”
He admonished us “to show your challenges how big is your God always and wait and see Him in action.”
Prophet Sunday Obi later offered corporate prayers on the nation, sick people, against witches and wizards, against idols in our fathers house, against any principalities and powers blocking our breakthrough.
Study the bible verses for more understanding Jh.11:38-49)2Kgs.5:13-15/Jol.2:25/2Kgs.4:34:38.
Finally, he prayed for multiplication of blessings upon the families of Rev/Pst. (Mrs.) Iwa Ebeten for decorating the church hall free.
This is the trend of events on Fridays at GAOL, Mondays and Fridays inclusive. Be a part of it. Hallelujah!!!
The roll of the Music Ministers cannot be overstressed as seen bellow: “It came even to pass, as the trumpeters and singers [were] as one, to make one sound to be heard in praising and thanking the LORD; and when they lifted up [their] voice with the trumpets and cymbals and instruments of music, and praised the LORD, [saying], For [he is] good; for his mercy [endureth] for ever: that [then] the house was filled with a cloud, [even] the house of the LORD; (2 Chronic 5:13).
Testimonies ranged from praising God for change of story in a pastor’s family since he encountered the Prophet/joining this company of God; safe delivery/healthy baby at prophetic word; journey mercies/successful completion of exams; healing of family members/thanking God in advance for promotion and arrival of new baby. Glory to God. You shall be next to testify.
Have you given your life to Jesus Christ? If your answer is NO. Then say this prayer with confidence: “Lord Jesus, I know I am a sinner, I confess my sins and ask for forgiveness. I know that only you can save me. Purge me of my sins. I confess you as my Lord and saviour from today. I know I am born-again. Thank you Jesus for saving my life.” (Jn 3:3).
First timers were prayed for and welcomed. Next Friday is “Anointing Service”.
