They Sought The Face Of The Lord And Got Favoured

By: Phil Adams/Vitalis Ugoh Calabar

Psalms 90:17 says “And let the beauty of the Lord our God be upon us, And establish the work of our hands for us; Yes, establish the work of our hands

This Bible verse could be likened to the phrase “from labour to favour” which is the theme for this week’s service.

It could also mean transition from hard work to divine favour: It could mean moving from a place of struggle and hard labour to a place of divine favour, where God’s blessings and grace are abundant in.

It might signify a transition from a period of difficulty and toil to a place of rest and peace, where God’s favour and guidance are evident.

It could also represent a shift from relying on one’s own efforts and works to trusting in God’s grace and favour.

In essence, “from labour to favour” suggests a movement from a place of striving and effort to a place of divine blessing, guidance, and rest.

Thank God, the Servant of God Prophet Sunday Obi is one man of God that loves worship. He loves worship more than prayers. Glory be to God.

He walks into the hall with humility every Friday service dancing and singing around the choir before settling for a thirty minutes of non stop worship to the glory of God.

During this Divine period, no one enters into the hall until after the worship. He can not afford to toy with worship period, that is Prophet Obi for you. This is how he seems the face of His Master Jesus Christ before ministration every time. Be it in Friday’s Service, Counseling or Prayer Mountain.

And the service commenced with the Intercessory prayer led by the son of the Prophet Victor Onen.It was a power packed intercession.

Onen prayed asking God to open doors for favour in our marriage, business, career and in our children. He gave Him Thanksgiving and appreciation for the life he gave us.

Genesis 29:18 says “Now Jacob loved Rachel; so he said, “I will serve you seven years for Rachel your younger daughter.”

He prayed that our relationship in marriage, in our children, business and career shall not be in vain in Jesus Name Amen, whoever that is working hard to frustrate my life today shall die, Oh Lord frustrate them and disappoint them too, destroy every awaiting battle to destroy my life Amen.

“Let the Blood of Jesus fight the battle for me and my family”, Oh Lord, today I refuse to leave a wasteful and useless life, today, favour is my new name, all my labour in life shall be appreciated in my marriage and in my relationship.”

And the time for worship to God our Heavenly Father came. As usual, the giant of Africa, Prophet Sunday Obi had signalled the best choir “ARENA Echo International choir” to get ready for the thirty minutes non stop worship.

The outing was awesome and glorious. The glory of God the Father, the Son and the Holy Spirit came down. It was indeed spiritual.

Thereafter, the Choir rendered her Special No “Ebenezer” to the glory of God. Oh! what an amazing opportunity to hear ARENA Echo back on stage gloriously.

The Prophet in the house had earlier announced the presence of the Guest Speaker, Pst. Mrs. Alice Omole. The theme is “From Labour To Favour”.

Singing in appreciation and thanksgiving to God, she says from labour to favour “is putting in your best to get result in a righteous way. You must labour in the right way to be justified for favour.”

She told the story of Naomi in the Bible – Ruth 1:7 Therefore she went out from the place where she was, and her two daughters-in-law with her; and they went on the way to return to the land of Judah.

At the end, the Lord favoured Ruth. She became a glorified mother and a blessing to her family.

Pst. (Mrs) Omole also quoted EsthEsther 3:8 saying “Then Haman said to King Ahasuerus, “There is a certain people scattered and dispersed among the people in all the provinces of your kingdom; their laws are different from all other people’s, and they do not keep the king’s laws. Therefore it is not fitting for the king to let them remain.”

“Mordecai laboured to bring Esther to limelight. He had long prepared her for a great event ahead and God who saw that she had laboured favoured her outrightly”.

“She says as you labour day and night seeking the face of the Lord, he will never frustrate you in Jesus Name Amen”.

Esther laboured and had favour. Everything turned around for her good. Glory!

“If you know how to pray to your God, He will favor you Amen, she says. Do you pray for your family? Do you pray for your spouse? You must learn to labour for favour to come your way.”

“Learn to pray for yourself. Go on your knees. There is profit in prayer. You need to pray for your Prophet always. He was raised to intercede for humanity by God.”

“Joseph refused to sleep with his master’s wife. He obeyed God. Daniel was not devoured by the lion because he had laboured before now.”

She says we must keep the following conditions for us to access favour from God. Pray fervently, fast, pray with faith, have forgiveness and always be focused in prayer.

“And, the Heavens can testify that the Lord is good. The sermon was rich and touchy. She really indeed touched lives. The message was glorifying. The grace of God was upon her. Grace divers – Alleluia!.

The giant of Africa Prophet Sunday Obi, was ready for ministration after the word. He says when people are favoured, envy sets in. So many of us have refused to labour but want favour. You must labour to reap favour. Today, he declared that “favour is your name.

Filled with the spirit of God, Prophet Obi began to function as directed. First to be favoured was the Cameraman, Pst David Ibe – Alleluia!

He casted out demons, healed many with various afflictions such as stones and cancer of the breast among others.

Pst. Patrick Omole offered the corporate prayers according to the theme of the service.

He raised prayers from Psa. 102:13/Jh 1:/Rev. 3.

Omole prayed for set time has come, open doors, grace upon grace in our lives and favour to be our portion in Jesus Name Amen.
