Lack of commitment and consistency has greatly affected the christian life of many believers and might cause them to lose the reward and blessings from the Lord.
They don’t take the things of God serious any longer. They are not committed nor consistent. They often give excuses when it comes to the things of God.
Regrettably, they have allowed Satan to use them. They have become “prisoners of fear”. They are under the siege of the Satan and may not find solution if they don’t repent.
The Holy Bible says, “no one knows when the Lord shall come”, hence we are admonished to be awake at all times”.
Each time the Lord prepares wants to release His blessings to His people, the devil will always find a way to block them. He came to kill, destroy and to steal.
The theme of Friday’s Service is “Praise to break yokes” and the devil knew the importance of praise and blind folded many from coming to service. But guess what, he was put to shame – Alleluia!
The good news was that He manifested Himself in glory during the service and healed those that keyed into the theme.
The Prophet had revealed that it is praises all through and whatever yoke or burden that came with us, today as we praise His Holy Name, they shall be broken in Jesus Name Amen.
Said he, “today, there shall be no corporate prayers but rather the choir will sing for all to dance and healing shall take place and there shall be testimonies – Amen!
He is a faithful God. His mercies endureth forever. He cannot lie. He keeps to His promises.
And this was what happened to us during Friday’s Service. It was impactful and rewarding. The Lord is Good, all the time.
The Intercessory prayer points were duly anchored by the Son of Prophet, Victor Onen.
He gave thanks to God for making us see the end of January, saying that we have every reason to appreciate Him.
He prayed against every yoke hindering us from getting our reward and blessings, break every yoke in our marriage, career, children and business, prayed that they get out of us in Jesus Name Amen, break every yoke in my father’s house and from my mother’s house, and prayed against satanic yokes.
“Today, as we i clap our hands, every yoke of depression, stagnation, frustration be broken in Jesus Name Amen, and he finally appreciated God for His unwaivering love upon our lives.
However, the Prophet in the House, Prophet Sunday Obi, had ordered a thirty minutes worship to glorify God as well as usher in His Presence.
This all important session was conclusively spiritual and powerful. God Himself came down in glory.
The Arena Echo International choir rendered her Special No entitled “I no dey walk alone”. It was great. It has been long, the grace of God departed the choir. The Prophet could not pretend but appreciated them for that wonderful experience. It was indeed a Special No.
The significance of the service was that praise took the entire period, as the Prophet had declared healing, blessings and prophetic messages before they congregation.
Earlier, God’s own general, had introduced the guest speaker, a seasoned Minister of God, Pastor Vitalis Ugoh, to deliver the Word entitled “Praise to break yokes”.
He prayed for forgiveness so that the Word will have a place in our hearts, saying “You can only make a difference by being different”.
“This is what God desires: to look at your life and smile, saying, “That’s my child fulfilling their destiny.” Like Noah, live with integrity. Let your difference make a difference.”
He referenced Psa 100:1-5 to butress his teaching.
According to him, “Praise is the expression of admiration, appreciation, and gratitude towards God, acknowledging His greatness, goodness, and majesty.”
“It is all about recognizing and honoring God’s character, works, and blessings, and can be expressed through various forms, such as worship songs and hymns, Prayers of thanksgiving and Testimonies.
Heartfelt Praise could be found in being sincere, humble and gratitude praising God with genuine emotions and intentions.
Ugoh referenced Psalm 100,Luke 1:46-55 and Revelation 4:8-11 for further study.
According to him, there are benefits derivable when we praise. They are Strengthens faith, brings joy and deflects negative thoughts.
He described Yokes of life” as burdens, weights, or obstacles that hinder our progress, freedom, and fulfillment.
Types of yokes include, Emotional Yokes, mental Yokes and spiritual yokes.
“You can break yokes by seeking the face of God, self-Reflection, Seek Support and take Action”
Isa 58:6 says,”Is not this the kind of fasting I have chosen: to loose the chains of injustice and untie the cords of the yoke, to set the oppressed free and break every yoke?
“Yoke refers to any form of bondage, oppression, or burden that weighs heavily on an individual or community. Praise that breaks yokes is a form of worship that has the power to: shatter strongholds,Free from oppression and Loose chains of injustice.
Praise manifest God’s Presence.Ig attract God’s attention, prompting Him to intervene in our lives, it create an atmosphere conducive to miracles, healing, and supernatural breakthroughs.
God did for Paul and Silas in prison_ (Acts 16:25-26), He gave Jehoshaphat’s victory_ (2 Chronicles 20:1-30) and delivered David in (Psalm 40:1-3):
“We can access the break through via prayer, obedience, draw near to God, study the word and above all learn to praise God sincerely and humility”.
He finally made an altar call for people to give their lives to Jesus Christ.
Praises dominated the entire service session and there were testimonies, healing and blessings.
The Prophet ended the service by signing his signature on every member of the congregation before releasing the final blessings.
There were excitement amongst the few that came for the service. Many were called but few were chosen.
There was end of months thanksgiving too.
First timers were duly welcomed and prayed for.
