The Sunday service started with the Prayer Line, as usual, in which people with diverse health problems were healed in Jesus' name. Prophet T.B. Joshua then arrived in the church to speak on diverse issues of great implications. He said, in the world, there would be different events but Christians should cheer up because they have overcome the world, according to the Scriptures. He said a Christian should not be ruled by his/her situation but that he/she should be determined and stay true to their purpose, despite snow or rain.



Using the examples of David and Daniel among others, he said that in the midst of hardship, campaign of calumny, name calling and condemnation, we should soldier on if we are called by the Most High God. He said our challenges can only test us but cannot destroy us; our challenges (sickness, hardship, etc) will prepare us for extraordinary service. The challenges, he said, are the tests which should not be dodged because without tests, there can be no promotion; such challenges are opportunities to honour God before men.
He advised that it is better for a Christian to keep his/her mystery because it is a means of protecting them. He said when men know and understand you, they will destroy you but when they do not know or understand you, they will call you names. He said that a man without mystery will never be controlled by situations. He also said that anyone who forgets where he/she is coming from is finished. As Christians, our lives should serve as sources of hope to others. Tests are meant to strengthen our determination for God and to prepare us for the future, which is why no matter how far we go, we should always remember where we are coming from.
TESTIMONIES AND DELIVERANCES
    MRS JOAN OKWUDE AND HUSBAND: DELIVERED FROM EVIL SPIRITS AND RECONCILED
A video was replayed in which an evil spirit in a woman, Mrs Joan Okwude, spoke during the last Sunday service. The evil spirit which called itself a 'king' said that the woman was its queen, and it caused hatred between the woman and her twin brother. Claiming to be a snake which bit her husband and made him poor and helpless, it pledged to be committed to destroying the man and force him to push the woman out of his house. The evil spirit said it entered her, having come from the sea. She was in church during the service with her husband and they confirmed that their problems were evil spirit and marital uncertainty. She used to see her husband as a wife (no respect, no affection) and was always angry, until she was delivered last Sunday. The husband, Mr Hilary Okwude also spoke and said that the wife used to slap him, tear his clothes and he had wondered where the power was coming from. He said he came in response to an invitation by Prophet T.B. Joshua and was shocked to discover a changed, good, woman. They were then reconciled to each other.
    ROLAND FOMUN MANGOH: DELIVERED FROM AN ADDICTION TO EATING FAECES AND DRINKING URINE AND SPERM.
A 23-year old Cameroonian, Roland, felt happy whenever he ate his faeces and drank his urine and sperm. An intelligent student who once was teaching his classmates, had started the addiction when he was 8 years old; that was 15 years ago. He had gone to pastors and witch doctors to no avail, though he said there was no record of mental problems in his family. Prophet T.B. Joshua had asked the congregation to stretch their hands towards him for prayer and he was delivered. He was asked to go and taste the faeces, urine and sperm he used to enjoy consuming but immediately fell to the ground before he could even try it. Prophet T.B. Joshua did not join in the prayer offered by the congregation for Roland's deliverance although he had given the instruction in righteousness for the prayer because according to the man of God, those who prayed were anointed by God to do so. He also asked people to specifically pray for unique anointing in their lives, as something divine cannot be ordinary. After his deliverance he took a hot shower, brushed and rinsed out his mouth and had a wholesome meal replacing his usual appetite for faeces, urine and sperm.
