Omuanwa Community in Ikwerre local government area of Rivers State witnessed a remarkable and intriguing moment on Sunday March 5th 2017 as the General Overseer of Christ the Life Bible International Church, Prophet E.S. Okenna celebrated his 40th birthday.
Our correspondent reports that as thousands of friends, well-wishers, family and church members stormed the community to celebrate with the clergy, representatives from the ‘marine world’ were also in attendance.
The crowd that graced the event to celebrate the clergy during the service wore a surprising look when the celebrant, Prophet E.S. Okenna made a shocking revelation that not all seated in the congregation came to celebrate with him, adding that some came with “evil gifts” to present to him as birthday present.
Okenna’s revelation was confirmed during warfare prayer session when a lady with a well wrapped gift started manifesting in the midst of the crowd.
Arrested by the Spirit of God, the lady confessed to be an “agent of darkness from the Marine kingdom sent on assignment with a “birthday gift” prepared by her “Queen Mother” to destroy Prophet Okenna and his ministry.
She further disclosed that the clergy has been a terror to their kingdom, delivering and liberating souls they have held captive for years through his prayers and that they have been fully mobilized to stop him.
Earlier in his testimony, Okenna expressed excitement that his forty years is not a waste stressing that, “What gives me so much joy is that I stepped into my forty years with Christ, not just as a Christian but as a born again and proud servant of the most high God. I feel like going to heaven to thank God eyeball to eyeball”, he said.
In his birthday message titled; “Rejoicing in Christ”, the Ubima born clergy said “for one to find joy and rejoice in Christ, he must serve God with patience and humility and work with God’s own calendar”.
He therefore advised Christians to serve God with patience, humble, obedience and always be attentive to hear from Him.
Regretting that people today especially Christians no longer wait for God’s directive, Okenna said he is being celebrated today as a servant of God as a result of his patience and humility in God and obedience to his word.
While felicitating with the clergy on his birthday, Chairman, Caretaker Committee of Ahoada East local government area of Rivers state, Hon. Justice Eke and Engr. Chris O Jumbo in their separate speeches described him as “a God-sent to our generation”.
They advised him to remain humble, focused and committed in God for more grace, and not be carried away by the miracles God has been using him to perform.
