“When the trumpet shall sound, would be there”? This is a rehorical question so to say, but many of us may find it funny. Another song says “on the last day only true believers shall be raptured”.
Serving God is a personal race which must be relational and intentional too.
There is no “waste” in any time you put while serving God, be it under the rain or under the sun. For sure, there is a reward for each an every one that serves God geniuely. This is a promise from God. You shall not labour in vain – Alleluia!
But hear this, in Calabar a lot of believers stay away from going to service because it is drizzling or it is raining?
This is just exactly what happened in last Friday’s service which the Prophet had announced weeks earlier of the theme “Pharaoh let my people go”. As usual, as at 10.00 am, only a handful believers including Ministers of God could brave the early morning shower to come to service.
Prophet Sunday Obi had said “the day the Lord shall come, this will be the same. Only few people will be met and carry home. My job is to touch humanity. Whether you like you, if you don’t, stay away and the pharaoh in your life will continue to reside inside you as a tenant.
Obi had assured repeatedly that nothing shall stop him from coming to service, not even sickness. And he had over the years kept to his promise. We are all living witnesses. He is a man of his words and a Prophet of our time. Praise Master Jesus.
However, God says rejoice in every situation. And those that came saw the Egyptians and the pharaohs no more as they heard the word of God.
“Pharaoh, let my people go” is a the biblical account of the Exodus, found in the book of Exodus (Exodus 5:1, 7:16, 8:1, 8:20, 9:1, 9:13, 10:3-4).
Recalled that “the Israelites were enslaved in Egypt for centuries. God instructed Moses to demand that Pharaoh release the Israelites from bondage”.
God’s people were suffering under Pharaoh’s rule, and Moses’ request sought their liberation. Moses spoke on God’s behalf, asserting divine authority over Pharaoh’s earthly power.
We saw God’s redemption of His people, demonstrating His love and commitment to them.
The Intercessory prayer points were raised by Apostle Ubong Thompson as powerful as ever.
He began by appreciating God for keeping us alive till this day, prayed according to Exodus 4:21 says “And the Lord said to Moses, “When you go back to Egypt, see that you do all those wonders before Pharaoh which I have put in your hand. But I will harden his heart, so that he will not let the people go”.
He prayed against any pharaoh in my business, career, marriage and family to break in Jesus Name Amen, let any to man or woman blocking our progress go down in Jesus Name Amen, prayed against any strong or mighty man in our family be destroyed, contend with those contending with us, prayed and loose anyone in bondage in our families and to destroy every generational curses and finally cancelled every enchantment in our lives”.
Read the following Bible verses for further understanding: Exodus 4:21/Isa 49:24-26/Psa 24:70/Isa 61:1/1 John 3:8.
The testimonies came and were inspiring too.
Prophet Sunday Obi who loves worship is always allocating thirty minutes time for worship before the guest speaker will present the Word. And the time came and it was awesome and glorious.
God’s presence manifested in glory. There were testimonies, healing and divine mercy all through at the end of the worship.
The guest speaker was as no other person than a seasoned Minister of God, Vessel of God, Pst. Mrs. Rita kelvin Okang.
The spirit filled Minister of God, who spoke on “Pharaoh let my people go” took her text from Exodus 5:1-2 says, God ask Pharaoh to let his people go”.
She says”until you say that I am tired of something, it will not leave you”.
Today, she says, that Pharaoh in your family, marriage, career, business shall let you be in Jesus Name Amen.
Satan like pharaoh doesn’t want you to go. Salvation is a journey. Work out yours with fear and trembling. You must forsake Egypt and go into Israel.
Pst. Okang says Abraham at a point in life forsake his comfort zone to follow God’s will. There are benefits when you decide to follow God’s instructions and when you decide to serve God,
“Israelis because of hardship did not want to go. Don’t allow circumstances to make you throw out what God has told you. Always listen to God’s instructions. Don’t abandon your faith for the enemy to attack you.”
Hardship comes before freedom. It may come but know that God has your interest at heart. Your God is more relentless than your enemy. Stand firm in your heart above all and that Pharaoh will flee and die in Jesus Name Amen.
She declared “if you are not tired of your stagnation, it will not leave you. The enemy within is the reason. Today that Pharaoh must go by faith. He will disappoint their devices. He must let us go by force by fire. Enough is Enough. That Pharaoh must go.”
Your painful seed will let the pharaoh in your life go. Value your seed. It speaks for you. Sin is a reproach. You can hide for man but you can not hide from Jesus.
Also, praise can make a great difference to drive away that Pharaoh in your life.
Ministering, Prophet Sunday Obi declared “Arena as the Red Sea that will swallow pharaoh in our lives today. The enemy will see you and flee. You must know who you are. Whoever that is in captivity, that Pharaoh will let you go today in Jesus Name Amen”.
The ministration became very easy and the Prophet was on top of all the issues that came. The mercy and grace of God was with him. He became stronger than ever. Glory be to God.
Evang Nengi Iwa Ebeten offered corporate prayers based on the theme of the service to the glory of God.
She gave thanks to God. Prayed against every pharaoh in our lives, children, marriage and career.,
As usual, there were testimonies healing and deliverance. Single ladies were prayed for via dancing into their destiny. It was full of joy as many looking for husbands keyed into the exercise dancing round the Prophet.
There was joy, celebration amongst them as the congregation joined happily.
First timers were duly welcomed and prayed for.
Marriage Seminar will be on the 19th of October, 2024.
