“All I see is grace” was the song that came out of the Prophet, God’s own general, Prophet Sunday Obi as he steps out of his corner to dance in appreciation to God’s mercies upon the lives of members that fellowship in ARENA”.
The enemies had during the week come to try the power of God, but God revealed and exposed them and put them to shame as worshippers came in their numbers to worship during Friday’s Service.
God’s Arena Of Liberty GOAL aka “Enough is Enough” gate was not shut but was widely opened to receive guests to the glory of God.
No.11 Otu Ansa, opposite Margaret Ekpo international airport housing God’s Arena Of Liberty is where God resides and as such is a dangerous zone for the demons. They came last year, tried everything possible with the collaboration of eleven Ministers of God to close down Arena but there was Divine encounter.
This time around, they came in form of dogs, cat and evil beings to carry out their evil enchantments, but yet, there was a divine encounter.
And because there was a Divine encounter, God gave us victory – Alleluia!
It is the by His grace. It can only be God. This is the more reason that the Prophet was celebrating God’s victory upon ARENA Ministry. They evil agents will always try but certainly must surely fail. Glory!
Prophet Sunday Obi had earlier raised prayer points against those fighting Arena and their agents. He however handed with their evil plans to God, asking Him to bring them down and their entire generation in Jesus Name Amen.
Earlier, the service had started with an Intercessory prayers delivered by Apostle Ubong Thompson succinctly.
Leading the prayers via Isa.10:27, he called on God to break every chain that has held us bound, there is power in the Name of Jesus, prayed against chains in our marriage, career, children, business and our entire endeavors, today, in this service, I cut every rope or chain tied on my waist or neck, today, because of Divine encounter, my name shall be changed to favour and from forsaken to favour.
He sighted the following Bible verses to illustrate his prayer points: Isa 10:27/Obd 1:17/Isa 62:4/Ge 28:1-16 respectively.
It was a powerful Intercessory prayer session. God heard our prayers as there was Divine Encounter.
Prophet Sunday Obi, the General Overseer, who attaches great importance to worship period, gave way for the choir, Arena Echo International choir to conduct the thirty minutes worship session. Oh my God, what a period! God manifested Himself in glory.
There was Divine Encounter at No.11 Otu Ansa where Jesus was passing and the multitudes came following Him – Alleluia!
The Servant of God could not wait but to release the Divine blessings to worshippers that came early. It was a wonderful experience as there were many gifts of various strata for people to carry home..
He has declared Arena as a dangerous zone for the kingdom of darkness. Who can battle with the Lord.
The choir had rendered her Special No “Marvellous God” to the admiration of the worshippers.
There were heartbreaking testimonies by worshippers.
With joy and happiness, Prophet Sunday Obi, who had nurtured well over fifty Ministers in ARENA, graciously ushered a great woman of God, Pst. Mrs. Bridget Orim into the pulpit to deliver her message entitled “Divine Encounter” to the glory of God.
She began with the song, “He touched me and made me whole” as the choir and the congregation sang in appreciation to God.
Divine encounter is a personal and intimate experience with God. It can be life changing, transformative and deeply impactful, often leading to a renew sense of purpose, faith and devotion.
According to her, there are characteristics of Divine encounter, personal and intimate, tangible and real, spiritual and emotional.
She cited some Bible examples of Divine encounter such as Moses, – Exd 3:1-14, Paul conversion (Acts 9:1-31) Daniel (Dan 6:10-28) Samuel (1 Sam 3:1-19) etc.
Today, somebody must go home with Divine encounter. You must believe and trust in God as the only source of divine encounter.
“When God makes a promise, He keeps them as well as His Covenant too”.
She says Divine encounter means that we must connect with God always and when we do so, our lives shall never be the same, Amen.
When you have divine encounter, it changes our character, draws us near to God, and there is absolute peace, she says.
She dropped hints on how to experience a Divine encounter. You must approach God with humility and willing to listen and obey him, pray and ask God to reveal Himself to you and spend time in God’s presence regularly.
Pst. Mrs. Orim prayed that we may experience a Divine encounter with God which will transform our lives, deepen our faith and fill us with joy and purpose in Jesus Christ Name Amen.
