Usually, every Communion Service has its peculiar experience as the power of God directs the prophet in the house.

In today’s service, the entire hall was virtually empty because there was rain and worshippers decided to stay put at home instead of finding a way to attend service.

The things of God are taken for granted forgetting that they got their deliverances from God’s Arena Of Liberty (GOAL), aka “Enough is Enough” via the Prophet in the house, God’s own general Prophet Sunday Obi.

This unfortunate development got the Servant of God, provoked spiritually as he made declarations on those whom God’s mercy have changed their lives or businesses and have refused to attend Friday program. God, he said, will cause them starting from next Friday to begin to attend service “spiritually”.

Speaking, he recalled that it was because of God’s mercy that we are alive today and it is because of his mercy that we are delivered. Therefore, anyone who doesn’t take the things of God seriously shall face the repercussions in due time.

Prophet Obi wondered why people should abandon where they got their deliverance and head to their churches. God, he says is not mocked. Man can not cheat God, His Creator.

How can you stop to attend service because of rain? How can you not take the things of God serious? The devil has possessed such people. Their bones can never rise again. They have decided to throw the Word of God in the dust bin thinking that they are clever. They lack wisdom and understanding.

For such people, their bones can never rise. They are spiritually dead. There is no live nor blood in them.

However, like he had always said, “if I come to church and meet only one soul, I will preach the Word and be happy with my God”.

The atmosphere did not move him at all, as he began to praise His Master, the Name above every other Name – “Master Jesus Christ”!

There were praise and worship songs as the few that braved the rain danced in joyful mood – Amen!

The Intercessory prayer points were handled by Minister Rita kelvin Okang as led by the Holy Spirit.

Citing Ezekiel 37:1-4, she prayed against dry bones in our lives and that of our family members, God is here to raise every dry bone, command every dead situation to come up in Jesus Name Amen, that the spirit of God should breath life inside us, that God should revive our dreams and vision not to die, prayed against powers fighting our dream and vision and that because we work in divine restoration, let them come back alive”.

She prayed and spoke life in all situations, we shall not die, this is the season of restoration, we shall live, our families shall live, we shall see good all the time, and she led worshippers to appreciate our God for all He has done for us from the beginning of the year till now.

The testimonies were filled with a lot of appreciation to God. It was an encounter with the Master.

This was preceded with the thirty minutes worship as usual. It was rewarding indeed. It was spiritual too. The coast was clear for signs and wonders.

Oh my God, the ARENA Echo International choir rendered her special No “see how you showed me mercy”.

Irked by their performance, Prophet Sunday Obi, emphasized the importance and significance of mercy of God.

The Mercy of God is what has kept so many of us today. Today, he declared that the mercy of God shall locate us in Jesus Name Amen. Dry bones shall be revived. There shall be life again. Blood shall flow in our lives in Jesus Name Amen.

“When the trumpet shall sound, where will you be?” A life without the Word which is God, is dry bone and shall never rise again.”

Prophet Obi referenced what is happening in Texas where the Governor spoke evil against God and He allowed the flood to ravage the city. Mainwhile, over 5000 mosques are baptizing for Christ while Christians are backsliding daily.

“It is only when you believe that you can see the beauty of God. Arena cannot die, because I raise Ministers daily. I am not selfish with my Pulpit.”

Presenting the Word tagged “Dry Bones Shall Rise Again,” Min. Esther Ewa, began to praise and appreciate God for finding her worthy to preach the gospel.

She took her message from Ezekiel 37:1-14, narrating the encounter of the Prophet with God and what God told him to do – Alleluia!

The message was not only for the Israelis but also for those who feel disconnected, broken or forgotten.

God, she says, “has assured us a prophetic promise, where we see lifelessness, He sees potential, where we see death, God sees resurrection, where we see despair, He sees hope etc.

The hand of God was upon Prophet Ezekiel and He carried him by the spirit into the Valley full of bones, not just bones but very dry bones. He was referring to the Children of Israel.

She continues, “when we find ourselves in a dry situation, all we need do is to place our hope in the Lord who knows all”.

Spoken words are the Word of God. When God spoke, the dry bones came alive likewise when Ezekiel obeyed God and spoke too.

This message is for believers, the pastors, mothers, the youth and that person whose faith, joy or purpose had dried up. Today I declare you free from that valley, a place of defeat, shame or stagnation. Are you worried about your marriage, finances, dreams, spiritual life?

Assuredly, “the valley is where God begins His work of restoration. He is saying I can still revive you. I can still rebuild you. I can restore what was broken.”

“Joel 2:25-27 says
“So I will restore to you the years that the swarming locust has eaten, The crawling locust, The consuming locust, And the chewing locust, My great army which I sent among you.

You shall eat in plenty and be satisfied, And praise the name of the Lord your God, Who has dealt wondrously with you: And My people shall never be put to shame.

Then you shall know that I am in the midst of Israel: I am the Lord your God And there is no other. My people shall never be put to shame”.

As a child of God, He is removing your shame and clothing you with glory. He is there for you, no matter how dry, dead or destroyed your situation may be, God can revive it fully and restore it right now, Amen!

She declared saying “dry bones shall rise again, the wasted years shall be restored, your joy shall return fully, your shame shall be erased and your testimonies shall shake nations in Jesus Name Amen “.

Min. Ewa later called for an Altar call for people to give their lives to Jesus Christ. She urge Christians to rededicated their lives to Jesus and receive Him as Our Lord and Saviour.

Earlier, Apostle Ubong Thompson had presented a seven point prayer according to the theme of the service.

He prayed for us to receive the life of God, that should flush out any dead elements in our soul and body, that whatever God did not plant in our body be cursed, let the Blood of Jesus renew and revive me, help me to know and speak your word, and let your word restore all that have been stolen by the devil, Amen!’ Read Roms: 8:11/2 Corth 10:15/Isa;9:8/Psa 107;7.

The ministration was a successful one. God used the Prophet to raise the dead, used him to cast out demons and finally to discover a three year old drummer by name, Master Regad Moses Etan to the glory of God.

Master Etan entertained worshippers during the Communion Service with his exceptional talent. This was an incredible performance. The Prophet made declarations upon his life and gave him a “mantle”.

As many that attended the service got their dry bones revived and restored, Amen!
