Their covenanted vows gave them victory against temptation

By: Phil Adams/Vitalis Ugoh Calabar

“It is written”…

“I am standing on the word of God, the Word God is power. The Word is victory, strength, love, healing, wisdom and knowledge. The Word is vision, revelation, stability and in all, the light and truth”.

And “it is written” in Matt.4:4, 4:7, 4:10, Lk 4:4, 4:8/Roms 1;17, 3:10,12:19/ Gal.3:10, 3:13.

Joshua 8:31
“as Moses the servant of the Lord had commanded the children of Israel, as it is written in the Book of the Law of Moses: “an altar of whole stones over which no man has wielded an iron tool. ” And they offered on it burnt offerings to the Lord, and sacrificed peace offerings.”

“2 Kings 14:6
But the children of the murderers he did not execute, according to what is written in the Book of the Law of Moses, in which the Lord commanded, saying, “Fathers shall not be put to death for their children, nor shall children be put to death for their fathers; but a person shall be put to death for his own sin.”

It is written and so shall it be in Jesus Name Amen!

The song writer says “I am standing on the Word of God, the Word of God is power”. It is only the Word that can counter Satan and demons.

The theme of the service is “Engaging in spiritual warfare”. And the solution to spiritual warfare is the Word. Speak the word and temptation will flee. Say what God says and it shall come to pass.

The Servant of God, Prophet Sunday Enu Obi came in as usual seeing an almost empty hall, but he did not allow the scene to overwhelm him. He began to give thanks and appreciation to God. Full of thanksgiving, he began to dance round the choir stand glorifying His Master Jesus Christ.

Gradually, the people started trickling in one after the other. It is not the multitude that matters but the heart of man is most important to God. The Prophet had said he will no longer send messages to invite people to come to church. Salvation is personal. What matters to God is our hearts. Have you accepted Christ as Lord and Savior?

God showed up mightily as usual during the service. The service was great and rewarding. What the multitude could not do, the few people in church were able to shake the entire environment physically and spiritually.

It was celebration all through till the end of service.

The testimonies were glorifying while the thirty minutes worship was igniting and rewarding.

The Intercessory prayer points were anchored by Rev. Mrs. Kingdom Lambe as the Holy Spirit directed her. She gave thanks and appreciation to God for us seeing the bright new day.

She prayed against every evil power and principalities, against demons fighting us, against every forces of darkness, silenced every blood sucking spirit, by the risen of the service, I break every yoke in my life, against every negative pattern and I free myself from every foundational pattern in my father’s house and in my mother’s house.

Always in happy mood, Prophet Sunday Enu Obi continues in giving God thanksgiving and appreciation for Who He is. Saying, “I can never be discouraged at all because I know my Redeemer Liveth. If it is one person, I am here to touch him – Amen!”

Subsequently, he introduced the guest speaker and the Women leader, Pst. Mrs Rita Kelvin Okang to present the Word as led by the Holy Spirit.

Describing Spiritual Warfare as battles altars from our father’s house, pattern and circle, witchcraft altars, unseen battles, rising and falling, territorial power holding hands, and libation and sacrifice.

Others are curses against our lives, remain in the same level, strong man backed by strong power – Deut 28:7, 2 Corth 10:4, John 10:10. Today is the day the Lord has made

She took her Bible text from Eph.6:11 saying this “Put on the whole armor of God, that you may be able to stand against the wiles of the devil”.

Today, he says, “there is going to be total restoration in Jesus Name, Amen”..

She outlined how we can engage in spiritual warfare to include, to study and meditate on the Word – Eph 6:10, to have faith, and fasting and prayer – Matt. 17:21 and sing praises to God. The wall of Jericho fell down as the people began to praise God, Josh 6:1-20, Paul and Silas were freed from prison as they praised God – Acts 16:19-29.

Another way, she continues is by sowing seed 1 Kings 8:63 Solomon offered to God and became the richest man on earth, vowing as recorded in Judge 11:30-31, 34:35 and finally, salvation – Rev. 12:11 respectively.

She says rededication of our lives to Jesus Christ is very paramount and important as believers.

It was a powerful message. It was very unique. “It is written”, according to the word of God should be your weapon of warfare.

Prophet Obi introducing the guest speaker

Appreciating God for His Word, the General Overseer Prophet Sunday Enu Obi used few minutes to throw more light on the theme. He described the theme as a spirit. We are all living in sin. Sin must come as long as we live. Temptation must come. There is no small lie before God. Sin is a spiritual battle.

How to resist temptation. First we must be righteous, give your life to Jesus, you must know the Word, have faith and believe, resist temptation, run from the devil’s deception because “it is written”.

The following Bible verses can be of help James 10:7, Eph 6:10-13, Prov 10:32, Matt 11:1-17, Luke 10:17, Psalm 91 just to mention but a few.

Before the ministration, the General Overseer Prophet Sunday Obi directed Son of the Prophet, Prophet Victor Onen to present 7 point prayers emanating from the theme as directed by the Holy Spirit.

The Resident Pastor prayed against foundational strong hold to be broken and be destroyed by fire, reject every demonic decree over our lives, release the thunder of God to destroy them, destroy every evil coven, back to sender every evil plan against me, prayed against every evil conspiracy, let the power of God consume them wherever they gather and that God should give us His Word always to resist with temptation.

The General Overseer encouraged people to raise altars to counter negative ones speaking against them. Many sowed a seed accordingly.

The ministration was divine and powerful. The Servant of God was at alert through out the period.

Many had encounter with Jesus as the Word was spoken into their lives and temptation and Satan fled.

There is God in Arena!
