It was a moment of celebration and joyful atmosphere as worshippers went all through praise to mark the close down of God’s Arena Of Liberty (GOAL) aka “Enough is Enough” for Xmas and new year break.
The Outreach has shut down from December 13th, 2024 till January 10th, 2025.
All that started well ended in praise as the church recorded an overflow. It was a journey of January to December 2024. A journey with testimonies, difficulty situation, hardship and above all, healing, deliverance and blessings.
Many saw the end of December 2023, but could not see the beginning of January 1, 2024. But here we are, alive, healthy and strong and doesn’t know how to praise God.
However, the Prophet of God, Prophet Sunday Obi, a lover of praise and worship had to ginger worshippers to key into praise as the service proceeded.
Above all, the service was true to its theme “Praise to end well” – Alleluia!
The opening prayers were worship all through, then came the Intercessory prayer session too. It was praise and worship as anchored by Pst. Mrs. Rita Kelvin Okang. She sang songs and converted them into prayers. The congregation joined in cheerful celebration and danced their sorrows away and got their healing.
She sang and the congregation turned it into prayers and God heard them.
Psalms 34:1-3″We bless the Lord at all times; His praise shall continually be in my mouth.My soul shall make its boast in the Lord; The humble shall hear of it and be glad.Oh, magnify the Lord with me, And let us exalt His name together”.
The Prophet had hinted that it was going to be a Communion Service via praise all through, reminding worshippers to ready to dance out their captivity.
“Praise to end well” encourages believers to maintain a spirit of praise and worship, even in challenging circumstances, in order to experience a positive outcome or conclusion.
He recalled all the healings, deaths brought back to life, open doors, and connections in 2024 and shall end in praise. We have come to say thank you Lord.
As usual, the thirty minutes worship was like never before. The anointing of God was everywhere during this session. It was amazing and rewarding.
His Presence was manifest. Jesus the extraordinary Father, the incredible God was everywhere watching those with clean hearts to bless them.
The Arena Echo International choir presented her special no “Yeah id the Name”. It was glorious.
The Prophet of our time, Prophet Sunday Obi, “a man with a large heart, prepared as ever before, always with smiles, revealed that “we are going to eat the bottom pot of blessings today. This was a declaration and it came to pass”.
The atmosphere was spiritual and powerful. Prophet Sunday Obi, a man blessed with a different grace, was letting out the cat out of the bags, beat by beat according to the instructions from His Master Jesus.
This time was for the “Word” and characteristics of him, he ushered into the pulpit, the Son of Prophet, Prophet Victor Onen to present the Word.
The theme of the service was “Praise to end well” with emphasis on Acts 16:35-40/2 Chro.20:17 to send his message.
Describing “praise as the bread of the living and the stability of our miracles”, saying when you praise him in our circumstances, he will give you the unsearchable hidden treasures of heaven that will make you become an unparalleled example of greatness.”
“When you praise Him, he will anoint your head with oil of joy to your cup running over. It is a sign when men say you are finished, you will say your life is just beginning. You will not disappoint your destiny”.
He referenced Josh.5:13-14/1Sam.17:45-/2 Chro. 20:21-25/Acts 16:35-40 during his message.
“Goliath was brought down by a man who loves to praise God, David”.Psalm 100:4-5 – “Enter His gates with thanksgiving, and His courts with praise.” 1 Thessalonians 5:18 – “Give thanks in all circumstances.” Philippians 4:6-7 – “With thanksgiving, let your requests be made known to God.”
Praise as a Choice: Praise is a deliberate decision, regardless of circumstances. Faith and Trust: Praise demonstrates faith and trust in God’s sovereignty and goodness. Positive Outcome: Praise can lead to a positive conclusion or outcome, even in challenging situations.
There are benefits when we PraiseGod. Praise reinforces trust in God’s character and promises.Praise redirects attention from problems to God’s power and goodness. Praise can bring joy, peace, and contentment, even in difficult circumstances.
For further study read,Psalm 50:23Isaiah 61:3 and Hebrews 13:15.
The Prophet had earlier raised powerful corporate prayers against the evil world during Xmas and the new year.
He had prayed against the evil world during accident during December as most families shall be traveling, against our families crying this season, reverse every accident to senders, against every altar in my family speaking, as we clap our hands, may they begin to break in Jesus Name Amen, he declared journey mercies upon everyone in Jesus Name Amen and he wished all happy new year in 2025.
He prayed against those tied on a rope to loose, against blood banks of the evil ones and cause them to be contaminated and covered our children with the blood of Jesus as well as every summons against each and every one be sent back to those behind such summons in Jesus Name Amen.
There were many activities lined up for the special edition of the service. There was cutting of cake for Master Promise Bassey Obi, the grandson of the Prophet, blessings of Annual Prayer Requests and blessings for annual thanksgiving – Alleluia!.
The Prophet had sorted few people to conduct deliverance during the service. The ministration was observed according to God’s instructions.
Many got their healing, deliverance, blessings and prophetic messages during the service. It was a prophetic service.
The atmosphere was spiritual, as ever before. God filled the whole place with different kinds of gifts for His people. Thank God, the Prophet released them at due time and the people received them in thanksgiving.
The Outreach will be celebrating her Seventh year of existence on January, 2025. You are cordially invited.
The Communion Service and last meeting in December 2024 was unique in His sight. Glory!
Yes, if you ask me, I will proudly say, it ended in celebration. The Lord was on course as it were. Every thing went well as planned.
The angels testified. They were everywhere taking note of all the proceedings from the beginning to the end. That’s God for you. He has never changed and will never change.
Can somebody shout Alleluia! Alleluiaaaa!
