“I never see anyone like Him. He is the Father of all. He doesn’t discriminate nor hate His Own. What He does for one, He does for all. He says I will fight your battle”.
The Communion Service tagged “Are we still Brethren” was filled with series of an unusual experiences. The prodigal son returned and was accepted by the Father, the dead was resurrected ” in His Holy Name. Glory! Glory!!

The GOD of ARENA is an unquestionable God. He is compassionate, merciful and loving. He is always doing Good as His nature.
Hear me, God is a man. He does not compromise when there is need to exercise His authority and power on any matter or anybody. He makes people to know that there is nothing He cannot do.
Jeremiah 32:17-27 says“Behold, I am the Lord, the God of all flesh. Is there anything too hard for Me?
“Ah, Lord God! Behold, You have made the heavens and the earth by Your great power and outstretched arm. There is nothing too hard for You.”

James 1:6-7 says,,”But let him ask in faith, with no doubting, for he who doubts is like a wave of the sea driven and tossed by the wind.For let not that man suppose that he will receive anything from the Lord;”.
The unquestionable God had admonished us not to fear, “for I am with you; do not be dismayed, for I am your God. I will strengthen you and help you; I will uphold you with my righteous right hand. For I am the LORD, your God, who takes hold of your right hand and says to you, Do not fear; I will help you- Amen!
Then you came to church with heavy heart, unforgiven heart, envy, blackmail, Are we still Brethren?
And the evil one came too late to cause confusion in God’s Arena Of Liberty (GOAL) by attempting to take the life of one of the Ministers, but God showed His glory and restored his life.

There was anger from the Father upon the prodigal son, but God entered into the heart of his Father and he recovered all that was lost over the years. All these happened live during the Communion Service on Friday 12, April 2024.
It can only be God. He is always doing Good as His Nature implies.You can not fight God. It is only for a while, as He has promised, the glory of ARENA shall be restored – Alleluia!.
“Brethren, believe in the Word of God and you shall be set free from captivity. You shall be healed, you shall be blessed, you shall prophesy, you shall not die, you will be victorious, you shall be strong and you shall receive power.” Amen!

Earlier, there was prophesy that the service shall produce uncommon experience, and it came to pass.
The Intercessory prayers was loaded with prophetic word and God answered them all during the service. Apostle Ubong Thompson anchored this all important segment of the Communion Service.
He according to the following Bible verses: Lk 22:32/Matt 27:4/1Cor10:2/2Cor 7:14-17/1thes5:19,22/1Tim1:6/Jas1:21/1Cor3:1 respectfully. God honored His Word.
Thompson prayed against external aggression on ARENA as a church of God, prayed against conspiracy among Brethren, and asked God to give us the grace to shun evil.
As usual, the Prophet of our time, a man so loved by God, the giant of Africa, God’s own general, Prophet Sunday Obi took over the stage as he led in the worship for thirty minutes appreciating God for all he has done in ARENA family.
.

He had earlier queried God why he should allow evil men to fight his church. However, he got a quick response that He has taken over the battle and that no man fights his own to go scout free. He promised restoration, he promised breaking of protocol for Arena, he promised overflow, he promised more signs and wonders.
The entire atmosphere began to change. There was joy, peace and happiness in the house.
The Prophet raised many worship songs and the congregation went agog dancing and praising God. This time, the Holy Spirit descended and filled the environment. And began to manifest.
The ARENA Echo International choir sang her special No and it was joyous.
At this point, the Servant of God, Prophet Sunday Obi, in his usual simple manner, ushered the guest speaker, Pst. Mrs. Adeline Elemi to deliver the Word.
The theme is “Are we still Brethren?

Singing… “there is joy in my heart, she recalled what happened earlier in the service citing it as a good example for a believer to do. Our Papa in the Lord had shown a good example by forgiving his son and accepting him back into the family…”.
This is a significant experience in today’s service. There is room for forgiveness in our lives. If God can forgive man how much more we who was created by Him.
“I offered you help, you stabbed me. You see my progressing, you become envious why?. You hear of my promotion, you become angry, why? Are we still Brethren?
She says “there are things that we simply can’t fight for. Gossip, fight, blackmail in the church, are we still Brethren?.
“Are we still worshipping a God of malice and pride? Or a God of hatred and unfaithfulness?.”
“We are called the children of God, Are we really exhibiting it? Does our attitude towards one another predicts Christ?”.
She says in Matthew 12:49-50And He stretched out His hand toward His disciples and said, “Here are My mother and My brothers!For whoever does the will of My Father in heaven is My brother and sister and mother.”
See also Mk 3:35/Lk8:21/Rom 8:29-30/Heb 2:11 for further study and understanding.
Our expectations as Brethren read 1 Cor 1:10/lk16:28-31/1Jhn 3:14-20)Rom12:10-18/1tim4:15.

She admonished us to always remember in the midst of all disagreement and conflicts, that God is the Father of all those in Christ. Universally, we are brothers and sisters with one another. Let the love of God be our portion in Jesus Name Amen.
Earlier, Prophet Sunday Obi had called on the Father of the Ministry, Papa Abraham to receive and prayer for the “prodigal son”. This he did according to the Holy Spirit Amen.
The corporate prayers were delivered by Pst. Mrs. Bridget Orim. It was powerful and rewarding. She prayed for mercy, peace and above all for the stability of ARENA. She prayed that no one shall die in ARENA, those fighting God’s Arena Of Liberty shall die, that God should empower the Prophet and members of his family, Amen.
God did manifest in His glory. He did what he says he will do. There were healing,deliverance, Blessings and prophetic messages to many that keyed into the theme.
First timers were duly welcomed and prayed for.
The glory of God was great and awesome during the service.
