“1 John 4:19 says “We love him, because He first loved us.”
The theme of Friday’s Service was “the Storm Is Over”. For an unbeliever, the question would be how can this be possible. But for believers and those who have received Jesus Christ as their “Lord and Saviour” would gladly rejoice and claim the proclamation and believe the Prophet of God.
And the hour was come. He has never said a thing and it fails to be. God spoke to the Prophet in the house before he chooses a theme. He declared “tell my people that the storm is over”.
At the beginning of the service, Prophet Sunday Obi Enu, had revealed the message as sent to him to the congregation saying “My Master Jesus says the storm is over”.
God in his Infinite wisdom has shown us his love in so many ways. He showed his love by sending Jesus Christ his only begotten Son to Earth to die for you.
He showed his love by creating you. He showed his love by giving you everything you have in life. We love because God first loved us.
So, why should you not believe that the storm is over. He gave His word and it came to pass.
The service took a highly spiritual dimension. The Prophet in his usual character, religiously carried out God’s instructions. He prayed and danced round the hall severally and ignited the atmosphere with the power of the Holy Spirit.
He kept on “saying the storm is over”, and urged the congregation to be ready to carry God’s blessings and gifts.
The critical segment of the Service was the Intercessory prayer points. This was handled by the Father of the Ministry, Father Abraham with so much understanding.
He took the text from Provb. 7:10/ Psa 107:29 to back up his prayers.
Father Abraham prayed against “self inflicted storms”.
He prayed God to make us to understand that we are the cause and take them off from us, Oh Lord God, cause every storm in my life to calm down, let your Word cause me to surrender to you as my Lord and Saviour.
Oh Lord God, cause every storm in my life to be calm, when you journey with Jesus Christ, the storms of life will calm down, he prayed and rebuked storms of life no matter where it is coming from, let every word I have heard from the Prophet calm my storms in Jesus Name Amen.
He prayed according to Psa 55:8 which says “I would hasten my escape from the windy storm and tempest.”
It was a very dangerous prayer points against the evil spirits to sanctify the ground for the Service proper.
God’s own general, Prophet Sunday Obi Enu, preparing the ground for the Guest Speaker, to present the Word, says “God doesn’t lie nor fail in His Word. What He cannot do does not exist.
He invited the best choir in the World, Arena Echo International choir to present her Special number “Fragrance Of Fire”. It was entertaining and melodious too. The congregation applauded in appreciation.
According to the Giant of Africa, there are many kinds of storms of life. It could be disappointment, failure in marriage, career, business, doubts etc.
And he declared, “today marks the end of any form of storm in your life – Amen.”
At this point, he graciously invited the guest speaker Pst Victor Onen who spoke on “The Storm Is Over”.
Prophesying, he says, already the storms of life are over. All you need is to believe the Word from the Prophet.
He says today’s theme is spiritual for those who have eyes to see. The Storm from above will provide you solution on earth.
“There are many kinds of storms. Doubt, distress, disappointment, depression, delay, defeat, death of loved ones etc.”
Jesus deliberately asked His Disciples to cross over to the other side of the Sea to test their faith as well as to strengthen their faith.
They saw Jesus doing great wonders. Storms, he says are not for pleasure or dancing purposes. It is not in word, but in power. It was to prepare them for what will confront them in due course.
Mk. 5:1 says “And they came over unto the other side of the sea, into the country of the Gadarenes”, and the story continues”.
“Storms are hard situations often encountered in life. It is a lesson of life when it is seen or approached with understanding. The word of God must be involved too.
God because of His love gave humanity Jesus as solution to all our storms. There is no problem too big for Him to solve, Jesus answers all prayers, Jesus loves us, Jesus keeps His promises and He is the Divine calmer of storms.He is the navigator of your life.
He is the pathfinder, storm calmer and solution to storms of life – Alleluia!.
Jesus manifested in His fulliness, His Spirit was alive from the beginning to the last prayer. He was present to quench the storms of life. He brought stability to the storm. Jesus is the way and the light.
“Storms are hurrible and fierce things. Unbelieve in ones life is a storm. Bad character is a storm in your life. Storms does not respect anyone. But today, the Master is saying “the storm is over”. And His Divine presence calmed the raging storms for all believers in the service”.
Pst. Onen however made few declaration as he ends his exaltation. As the storm is over, your enemies will say your God is alive, Amen, today your God is bigger than all other problems- Amen, today I gather whatever the storm has scattered in your life and put them together for good -Amen, there is God in Heaven. Your life is a testimony -Amen!.
The following Bible verses can be of further help: Mk.4:35-41/Matt 11:28/1pt.5:7/Job:2:3.
The Prophet who loves praise and worship swung into action as the lead vocalist as the rest of the congregation joined to praise and worship God.
He says that God is fragile and shocks. Obi admonished the people of God to learn to appreciate God for His love towards us. A gossiper is a liar.
“My God is always taking care of me and my family since you don’t know how to appreciate your Prophet”.
He had prophesied to single female and male and advised them what God wants them to do to get their life partners.
Prophet in the House, however prayed for as many that came out and urged them not to doubt the word of the Prophet.
Earlier, he had mentioned so many tpyes of storms of life to include, frustration, failure in marriage, divorce, backwardness etc
He prayed against storms of life, in our family, children and other affiliations, is it confusion, trouble, rejection, ancestral altars, power of darkness, spiritual husband to get out in the Name of Jesus Christ.
The Prophet had announced the wedding invitation of Mr.&Mrs Adie Dennis Akpanke, members of ARENA family. The wedding is coming on October 28, 2023.

Because God first loved us, he gave us His Only Begotten Son Master Jesus Christ, who did the will of His Father to many during ministration by the Servant of God, Prophet Sunday Obi. They encountered Him as he gave some healing, blessings and prophetic messages.
It was a Divine dimension. The Prophet was completely in charge through the Mercy of God – Alleluia!
