God during the 2nd quarter tarry night on Friday June 26th, 2026, proved that He is faithful and steadfast in Nature.
What the enemy planned against God’s ARENA of Liberty (GOAL) aka “Enough is Enough” was turned for good.
Always, during such programs, the General Overseer, Ministers and workers would devote enough time to pray for the success of the program, and guess what, the Almighty God has always stood by them.
During the period under review, things have happened trying to discredit the Church of God, but God has always vindicated the leadership. The devil has always come to steal, destroy and to kill. This time in question, all its plans failed woefully. His divine mercy and grace was there to guide His people alright.
The General Overseer Prophet Sunday Enu Obi could not hide his feelings at the end of the tarry night as he was full of appreciation to God Almighty for all the prayers and the overflow recorded during the program, an indication that God is faithful and steadfast.
He used the opportunity to extend appreciation to Ministers and workers for their prayers for the success of the program as recorded against all odds. The devil was put to shame and humiliated.
There is really Divine Mercy and Grace in ARENA – Alleluia!
And so, “it is written” that the gates of hell shall not prevail against the Church of God. There was enough mercy and grace of God upon many during the tarry night.
It was a night of double blessings from God to His faithful and humble children.
The Intercessory prayer points were taken by Apostle Ubong Thompson who started by appreciating God for the appointed day being June 26, 2026 assigned for the tarry night.
He prayed according to Lam. 3.22 “Father by your Mercy, may we not be consumed”, Hebrew 4:16 “Grant me mercy and grace to help in time of need”, Psalms 102:13 “God grant me mercy and favour me according to your word” and Proverbs 20:28 “Let your mercy and trust preserve me”.
The prayers were direct and inspiring. It served as the first shot against the kingdom of hell. They become very uncomfortable thereafter. The Holy Spirit immediately took over the entire premises and began to release God’s mercies and grace therein.
The testimonies were revealing and powerful. The choir rendered her Special No “God is Amazing ” to the admiration of the congregation. It was amazing indeed. The congregation applauded the best Choir in the World – ARENA Echo International choir.
The congregation during the thirty minutes worship, cried out their hearts to God for His Divine mercy and grace upon their lives. Some shaded tears, some rolled on the floor worshiping their God for being part of this day. It was glorifying. The entire church was vibrating with the Spirit of God.
At this point, there was no opportunity for the devil to strike. The devil and its agents bowed to the Supreme power of God being manifested in Jesus Christ, the head of all Principalities and powers – Amen!
It was clear that “Every authority belongs to Our Lord and Savior”. Everything moved as planned. It was victory songs all through. No space for the evil ones. The entire narrative changed in the favour of worshipers. There were signs of Divine Mercy and Grace as they tarried all through the night. The Lord is good, all the time.
Prophet Sunday Enu Obi, very confident of his God had earlier appreciated Him over and over again in-between interludes, joyfully introduced the Youngest Minister in the Ministry, Rev Mrs Kingdom Lambe to present the Word entitled “Divine Mercy and Grace”.
She appreciated God for the opportunity given to her to Minister this day as she invited the Holy Spirit to speak through her. The lead texts are from Ephesians 3:14-19, Heb 12:2 – Alleluia!
According to her, the Grace of God in Ephesians 2:4-5 says
[4]But God, who is rich in mercy, because of His great love with which He loved us,
[5]even when we were dead in trespasses, made us alive together with Christ (by grace you have been saved),
“God doesn’t accept you because you perform at a level, you are who you are by the Grace of God, she emphasised.”
“1 John 4:19 continues “God’s love chooses us first while Rom 5:8 says “God’s love is not based on our worth because we couldn’t have earned it”. Ephesians 2:8-9 Faith takes what we are given by Grace.Roms. 8:35-39 states
“His love is transformative, life changing and not enabling”.
Also in Roms. 2:4 the goodness of God leads you to repentance and transformation of your life, not to enable you remain in sin, she noted.
In furtherance, she says “His kindness, love, tolerance is to change your life from sinful ways as recorded in Titus 2:11-12.
We may be differently gifted or graced but we are equally graced – read -Isaiah 43:1″.
Rev. Mrs. Lambe admonished us not to compete with a man who is running with Grace, because he has the grace of God empowering him. There’s a Grace that covers effort. Grace gives unmerited favour. You can be unqualified but not disqualified by Grace.”
“God’s love is sacrificial 1John 4:10/Roms 5:6-8”.
She noted that there are some results men cannot produce except by the Grace of God adding that “All we are and all we have is a product of God’s Mercy. No matter how wicked a man is, he can be transformed by the mercies of God – Matt 13:44-46.
God was ready to give His Son for mankind Heb 12:2 and God loves us unconditionally – Matt 7:11.
Finally, she declared God’s Divine Mercy and Grace upon the lives of those who love God and believe and trust in Him – Amen!.
Earlier, the Prophet on the House had directed Apostle Ubong Thompson, to present the corporate prayers before he goes into full ministration.
He prayed as thus,
“Lord may your Mercy preserve us( business, marriage, job, academic etc); Lord may I enter my season of favour. Psalms 102:13; Lord have mercy on us for we are weak and heal us, our bones are vexed. Psalms 6:2; Lord may your Mercy prevail over satanic judgements James 2:13; Jesus thou son of David, have mercy on me; Lord as I come boldly to the throne of Grace, may I obtain mercy and find Grace to help… IJN. Heb 4:16; Lord by your Grace, let every mountain become a plain. Zech 4:7”
The General Overseer Prophet Sunday Enu Obi had earlier conducted few ministration as the spirit led him during the service at intervals. Of course God glorified Himself in the lives of many via divers encounters – Alleluia!
Earlier, Prophet Obi had raised prayers in the following direction:
That God should “destroy all agents of darkness who attempted to interrupt the service, that we should dedicate ourself to God, that God should destroy all evil altars in our family compound in the village speaking against our destiny, that you will become what God says you are indeed and that all witches who have vowed that over their dead body will you make progress, die accordingly.
He went to pray that every witch or wizard irrespective of position or status be uprooted from our families, that every gathering of the wicked against you be scattered, that the ground should open and swallow up all who have ganged up against us, that you might eat the fruit of your labour, that you be delivered from whatever challenge that brought you and not go back the same way you came, that God should secure CRS with fire on all sides and the Blood of Jesus and destroy all satanic powers in the state by fire, that your bottom pot(last minute) blessings be released, that you receive pending blessings since the beginning of the month and that God should keep the spiritual lamp in your hand burning – in Jesus Name. Amen!
The Blood Sprinkling tarry night was revealing, powerful and amazing.
There were Special numbers to appreciate God for what He had done in their lives during the service.
It was a successful outing. There was an overflow. The power of God manifested in Glory. Oh! What a Mighty God we serve”. He is able and capable at all times. He is the Eternal Glory. He is Marvelous – Amen!.
First timers were duly welcomed and prayed for. People were led to Christ.
