John 19:30 says, “When Jesus therefore had received the vinegar, he said, It is finished: and he bowed his head, and gave up the ghost.”
At this point, one would want to ask what did Jesus come to accomplish on earth?
The Famous Sixth Word, “It is Finished” was understood byHis apostles as “to preach the Gospel to the poor” (Luke 4:18, 43), “to bring life” (John 10:10b), “to destroy the devil’s work” (1 John 3:8b), “to bring fire upon the earth,” (Luke 12:49) and “to testify to the truth” (John 18:37).
“Look, the Lamb of God, who takes away the sin of the world!” (John 1:29)
“For the Son of Man came to seek and to save what was lost.” (Luke 19:10).
“For even the Son of Man did not come to be served, but to serve, and to give his life as a ransom for many.” (Mark 10:45)
“Christ Jesus came into the world to save sinners.” (1 Timothy 1:15)
“But you know that he appeared so that he might take away our sins.” (1 John 3:5)
Because Jesus had a very clear view of what lay ahead of him, he used these two metaphors to illustrate his mission on earth. “To drink the cup,” to partake fully of an event, and “to be baptized,” to be immersed fully in the event”.
The Second Tarry Night had alot expectations among worshippers in God’s Arena Of Liberty GOAL aka “Enough is Enough”. And it came to pass. God doesn’t lie or fail His children. He said “after the Tarry Night, all yokes, satanic forces against our marriage, career, business shall be over as it is finished on the Cross of Calvary.
You need nobody to tell you that Jesus manifested Himself in glory during the “Blood Sprinkling Service”.
“Can you imagine “The cross in all its horror — and in its redemptive power to bear the sins of the world — hung heavily on Jesus during his last days in the flesh”.
“His struggle in the Garden of Gethsemane was the climax, the point at which he surrendered ultimately to the Father’s will. And now the cup had been drunk, the baptism completed. It is finished”.
It Is Finished! And the congregation went home in joyful and praiseful mood at last because their sickness, burden, storms and worries were all finished on the Cross by the death of the Jesus Christ, the Son of God.
“Shout the loudest Alleluia! At this juncture, the Holy Spirit had taken charge of the entire environment waiting for the manifestation of God’s presence.”
Pastor Victor Onen, conducted the Intercessory prayer points spiritually as moved by the spirit of God, the Holy Spirit.
Jer. 30:16 says “Therefore all they that devour thee shall be devoured; and all thine adversaries, every one of them, shall go into captivity; and they that spoil thee shall be a spoil, and all that prey upon thee will I give for a prey”.
Taking his Bible verses from Eph6:12 prayed to God to give us strength to become warriors and not worry in Jesus Name Amen, let stones of fire pursue and dominate all the strongmen in my life, God cause my enemies to be disgraced openly, consume all thr evil shrines speaking against my life and I return all satanic arrows fired at me in Jesus Name Amen.
He prayed against “all drinkers of blood and eaters of flesh, to begin to eat and drink their own blood and eat their flesh, destroy all satanic gadgets used to monitor my movement and progress, I will pursue, overtake and recover my marriage, career, business and riches from the hands of evil men and women”.
Onen went on praying “to God to remove every stubborn and resisting sickness in my life, oh tlet the sun of my prosperity arise and scatter every cloud of poverty in my life, Jesus loose whatever that is holding me hostage, is it destructive effect of polygamy, parental curses, demonic incursion, demonic sacrifice, demonic marriage and inherited infirmity, Amen!.”
The service is not complete when the Prophet in the House is not seen dancing and praising His Master Jesus Christ. No. That service is faulty. Yes, he is a man that loves praising His God before any other thing. s usual, he greeted and hugged every one in the congregation.
God’s Own General, Prophet Sunday Obi, is humility personified. He does it regularly and ends up in the choir stand to honor His Master Jesus Christ. Alleluia!.
For the theme which says “It is Finished”, speaks for itself as sickness, backwardness and other forms of setbacks will be over today.
He revealed that there are over 120 baskets full of different types of gift from God waiting for people to receive. The storms are over, the Giant of Africa Prophet Sunday Obi declared.
The service became too hot for demons as the Arena Echo International choir praised God continually to glorify His Name Amen.
And yokes began to break as he sorts victims out for deliverance.
The choir presented her special number “God has given us victory” to the admiration of the congregation.
The Prophet had graciously introduced the guest speaker, the man of God, Pst. Stanley Williams to present the Word.
He gave the following Bible verses Jhn 19:28-30/lk23:44-46/Matt 27:50-54/Isa 53:3-7/Acts10:4/Isa 43:13/Psa. 126:1-2/Jer.52:4.
He talked about five factors that make up the structural component of our faith. Your destiny, purpose, glory, star and the crown.
“Jesus is one sacrifice to all mankind. Jesus is the answer to all our problem. His death gave us victory – Alleluia!.
He knew that the hour has come for Him to fulfill the Will of His Father, Amen!.
The agenda of the devil is put you on bondage especially when your destiny is bright, you have dreams, you are a star, you have a prophecy or achievement in future.
These factors makes him jealous of you and he begins to plan how to truncate them in your life. He brings untimely death, accident and incurable diseases.
The Bible says “it was for these purpose the Son of God was made manifest too destroy the works of darkness in our lives.”
He urged believers to always see less of humanity and see more of Divinity. Your problem becomes useless when in the midst of that pains, tears, sickness you keep praising God.
“The GoodNews is that Jesus was made manifest in other to redeem us from sins. Every lie or sin we commit, today, we are nailing Him the Second time.”
Finally, he referenced Psa. 134:7 “Our soul is escaped as a bird out of the snare of the fowlers: the snare is broken, and we are escaped.”
There were serious revealations, healing, deliverance of diverse types as the hand of God was upon the Servant of God, Prophet Sunday Obi as he went into full ministration. As they touched his hem of cloth, they manifested and got their instant healing, Glory, glory to Jesus!
The Prophet merely gave relevant Bible verses for studying. Jhn. 19:20/Heb.9:12-26/Rev.21:6/Eccl.7:8/Phli.1:6/Gal.6:9 etc.
He raised three prayer points asking God to fulfill our hearts desire, that we may carry our testimonies in today’s Tarry Night, that we cease to be beggars but givers in Jesus Name Amen and that God should release the gifts as I receive mine today- Amen.
