On Sunday, July 7th, 2024, Rev. Fred Obetoh delivered a powerful sermon titled “Experiencing The Supernatural” to a captivated congregation. Drawing from the scriptures, Rev. Obetoh emphasized the presence and importance of the supernatural in the Christian journey.
Rev. Obetoh began by posing a reflective question to the congregation: “Ask yourself this question; why are you here?” He then referenced Exodus 7:10-13, illustrating the mysterious nature of God’s kingdom through the story of Aaron’s rod swallowing the serpents of Pharaoh’s sorcerers. Despite witnessing such miracles, Pharaoh’s heart remained hardened, underscoring the vanity of life and the supreme importance of Jesus.
“Miracles are not fake from genuine men of God. This is the supernatural!” Rev. Obetoh declared, emphasizing that a pure mind is essential for experiencing the supernatural. He prayed for the congregation, asking God to overcome their enemies and prepare them for future challenges.
Rev. Obetoh warned against the small mistakes that can hinder the supernatural and encouraged the congregation to anticipate experiencing the supernatural during the five Sundays of anointing services. He asserted that God often tests believers with challenges to prepare them for greater blessings.
“These signs shall follow them that believe,” Rev. Obetoh said, quoting Mark 16:17-18, and urged the congregation to truly understand and respect the name of Jesus. He cautioned against being misled by others and stressed the importance of hearing and listening to God for a supernatural experience.
Referencing Acts 5:12-16, Rev. Obetoh spoke about the miracles performed by the apostles and identified bitterness, anger, and malice as obstacles to miracles in the church today. He also cited John 2:1-4, the marriage at Cana, where Jesus performed a miracle out of obedience to His mother, emphasizing that obedience brings miracles.
In his closing prayers, Rev. Obetoh asked for divine intervention in the lives of the congregation:
– That no one can stop God’s work in their lives.
– That they be connected to helpful individuals.
– That they not be led astray.
– For favor in areas where they have been previously denied.
– For mercy for past mistakes and wrongdoings.
– For the removal of any harmful incantations.
He concluded by invoking grace upon the congregation, encouraging them to receive it fully.
This sermon marks the beginning of a series of anointing services aimed at deepening the spiritual experience of believers and fostering a greater connection to the supernatural.
