The youth wing of God’s Greater Grace General Assembly Intl Incorporated, Benin, has rocked the boat of Satan through its mind blowing programme that has added more souls to the kingdom of God and depopulated the kingdom of darkness.
The programme with the theme “Greater Works”, coined from the book of John 14: 12, saw people from various church denominations in attendance to render their praises to God via various instrumentalities of praise.
The youth of the church sang their souls out to high heavens and the drama unit gave a vivid expository of how the power of God can shatter every curses and sets the captives and the tormented free.
The youth who were spotted in white and black, were later fed with the word of God by the general overseer of the church, Rev. Sunny Akenbor based on the topic chosen for the programme.
Speaking on the theme”Empowered for a divine assignment”, which has a semblance of the youth’s theme, Rev. Akenbor said for greater works to be done, they must be empowered to do that as those who engaged in such a voyage without being empowered were humiliated and made subjects of ridicule vis-a-vis, the seven sons of Sceva as it was recorded in the book of Acts 19:13-16
“Then certain of the vagabond Jews, exorcists, took upon them to call over them which had evil spirits the name of the Lord Jesus, saying, We adjure you by Jesus whom Paul preacheth.
“And there were seven sons of one Sceva, a Jew, and chief of the priests, which did so.
“And the evil spirit answered and said, Jesus I know, and Paul I know; but who are ye?
“And the man in whom the evil spirit was leaped on them, and overcame them, and prevailed against them, so that they fled out of that house naked and wounded”, Akenbor said quoting Acts 19: 13-16.
He told them that, for them to do greater works, they must harkened to the biblical injunction which says that they must tarry here until they are endowed with the power of the holy spirit so that they can’t be embarrassed because you can’t give what you don’t have.
“And, behold, I send the promise of my Father upon you: but tarry ye in the city of Jerusalem, until ye be endued with power from on high’, Luke 24:49.
He however assured them from what is written in the book of 1 John 4:4 that they should not be afraid having been filed with the power of God to do exploits, as greater is in them than those that are in the world.
