They Laid Down Their Burden, Followed Our Lord Jesus And Got Victory

By: Phil Adams/Vitalis Ugoh Calabar

“Luke 19:40-41 says “But He answered and said to them, “I tell you that if these should keep silent, the stones would immediately cry out.” Jesus Weeps over Jerusalem,
Now as He drew near, He saw the city and wept over it”.

This was the scenario that almost played out penultimate Friday 3rd May, 2024 during the weekly service in God’s Arena Of Liberty (GOAL) aka “Enough is Enough”.

Because, the rain came down in the early hours of the morning, people tend to give excuses and refused to attend the service. What an error before God.

However, like the theme of the service says “My set time has come” and God honored His word upon the lives of the few that braved the rain to honour God. And they got their Divine healing, deliverance, blessings and prophetic messages.

“The Prophet in the house had repeatedly said he would not mind having only two people in the church rather than stay behind. I need to touch lives. God sent me to come and stand in for Him to deliver humanity”- Amen.

Said he “I will not disobey my Master Jesus Christ. I am here to keep to His instructions.”

Prophet Sunday Obi, the lover of worship as usual led the way as the choir and congregation joined in thanksgiving and appreciation to God Almighty.

It was another thirty minutes non stop worshipping.The atmosphere became charged and spiritual. The giant of Africa Prophet Sunday Obi who had complained of weakness automatically regained his strength – Alleluia!

And, he went on and on and on praising His Master who owns time and season – Alleluia!.

The Son of Prophet, Victor Onen, had earlier presented the Intercessory prayer points to the glory of God.

He gave thanks and appreciated for keeping us from January to May 2024 without any major loss in ARENA as a family.

He declared that “somebody is going to experience supernatural change in his/her today as the theme of the service states Amen, saying Oh Lord my God, may I not miss my appointed time in my life today, may I not be absent when you are about to bless your people and may I work according to your set timetable.

Oh Lord my God, deliver me from deceitful gods, any tongue that has been deceiving me, deliver me from such powers, every snare of my enemies, today I cause them to be broken in Jesus Name Amen, and he prayed that God should answer all our prayers today according to His will in our individual intentions Amen!

There were testimonies and thereafter, the much awaited time for worship came. As usual, the down to heart Servant of God, the giant of Africa, Prophet Sunday Obi took the lead as directed by the Holy Spirit. It went superficial and highly connected in spirit. Glory!

Before the worship, Prophet Obi had admonished the congregation to ponder over their lives if it conform with the teachings of our Lord Jesus Christ.

He also reminded them to value every prophecy in their lives because it shall come to pass in God’s own appointed time Amen!

According to him, “are you the type that come and collect blessings and go? God is watching and recording your behavior towards His church and on the last day He will ask question, why did you forsake my commandments? He will open the Book of record for everyone to see.

There was choir ministration to the glory of God. It was marvelous.

Prophet Obi, a General Overseer with an exceptional grace and humility, ushered in the Pst. Vitalis Ugoh to deliver the Word tagged “My Set Time Has Come”.

He described “My Set Time Is Now as Supernatural hand of God. It is that time things begins to turn around for good for you. It is spiritual, and Divine.

He took his lead text from Psa 102:11-13/Eccl 3:1 saying that the summary of his message is that “you must learn to give thanks and appreciation to God always”.

According to him, “the Wisdom and knowledge of God is why we are here and alive this day. Therefore, he deserves our appreciation at any given time.

Describing the word of God as the spiritual food for the soul, he noted that “You can’t see the Father, the Son and the Holy Spirit, but they are going to last for eternity. You can’t see your own soul, but it’s going to last for eternity.”

Pst Ugoh admonished believers to always connect with God? What is your relationship with God. Is it cordial or vertical or horizontal. It must be vertical.

“Sin and unforgiveness has no space in the heart of God. Righteousness and forgiveness occupies very large space – Alleluia!”.

“Are you sons of God by your character, in the church? What is your role? Have you touched the life in your neighborhood?”

1 Thessalonians 5:18 says, In everything give thanks; for this is the will of God in Christ Jesus for you.

Psalms 102:13 says,”You will arise and have mercy on Zion; For the time to favor her, Yes, the set time, has come.”

God’s set time for you has come. God created time and season for us but are not controlled by it. His timing is different from ours. We have different types of timing:

“Chronos is the human time – we have minutes, days, months, years, etc. while God’s timing is called Kairos. That’s why Jesus told His mother that His time has not come (John 2:1-10”

God has promised that He will arise for me and you in Jesus name. The Bible in Psalm 68:1 says “Let God arise and His enemies be scattered”.

He rose up for Israel in Exodus 3:7-He rose up For David in the contest against Goliath and Goliath lost his head. May Jehovah rise up for you and you shall trample and celebrate over your enemies.

Remember when Lazarus died, Jesus didn’t just rush there not even when Lazarus was sick. God is never late or too early. He is always on time. God’s time to favour Zion has come. He said His time to favour you has come. It is time to accelerate your dreams faster than you think.

Joseph an ex-convict rose from prison to palace. God’s favour is life – Psalm 30:5.

How to provoke Divine favour?
1.You must be born again. (2 Cor 5:22, Psalm 5:12). Surrender your life to Christ.
2.Kingdom commitments. (Matthew 6:33)
3.Sow seed of favour and you will reap favour higher as highly favour harvest (Luke 6 vs38) – (Hebrew 12: 4).

By favour provoking prayers (James 5:16).
By praise and worship – Act 16:25 -26.)

Galatians 4:4-5 says “But when the fullness of the time had come, God sent forth His Son, born of a woman, born under the law,
to redeem those who were under the law, that we might receive the adoption as sons.

He said “There is nothing greater than you. We bring our problem to you. There is nothing that matters before you. May the Lord speak into your life. Into my marriage, career, business and children. When He speaks, afflictions disappears.

John 15:1–17 says “I am the true vine; and my Father is the husbandman. Every branch in me, that beareth not fruit, he will take away: and every one that beareth fruit, he will purge it, that it may bring forth more fruit. Now you are clean by reason of the word, which I have spoken to you.

Jesus is the vine, the true source of life for us believers. We are the branches connected to Him.

The following Bible verses are for further study 2Cor 6:2/Ecc 3: 1/Prob 16:9/Roms 13:11/Est 4:14/Mk 13:32-33/1Cor:7:29-310a/Eph 5:14
and Lk 19:44.

“God’s Word advises us to use
our time wisely because He knows that there are many things in life that can distract us from what truly matters. Do not waste your time so that you look back with regret – you do not know what tomorrow holds.

Benefits when set time comes include

It produces supernatural increase and promotion.(Gen. 39:21).2. It produces restoration of everything that the enemy has stolen from (Ex. 3:21).3. It produces honor in the midst of your adversaries. (Ex 11:3).
It produces increased assets,
(Deut. 33:23).5. It produces great victories in the midst of great impossibilities. (Josh. 11:20).
It produces recognition ,(1 Sam. 16:22).

You can access God’s set time via Reverence to God’s ways ,READ and UNDERSTAND His Word., ASK for the wisdom of God and learn to TRUST Him completely.

“Make your time with God official and not just a thought. Make it concrete. Give time with God the same respect as an important meeting. Don’t view God time as something that might happen if you have time, view it as a vital appointment for which you can’t be late.

Study with a friend or group to further increase your knowledge of God’s Word.Amen.

Ministration took place as the Servant of God touched many that came with different kinds of afflictions. They were healed, blessed and delivered.

Seven corporate prayers were presented by Pst. Stanley Williams.

He began by appreciating God and giving Him Thanksgiving for making us see the new month.

Prayers were offered according to the following Bible verses, John 32:38/Roms 6:6/G.32:24/Roms8:11 respectively.

Tarry Night! Tarry Night!!
