In a powerful and insightful message titled “Engaging the Spirit of Supplication for the Release of the Spirit of the Glory”, Pastor Matthew James Ele-Ojo expounded on the critical role of supplication in the Christian journey.
Drawing from Zechariah 12:10 and 1 Peter 4:14, the message highlighted the transformative power of heartfelt prayers and their ability to unlock divine interventions.
Pastor Ele-Ojo emphasized that supplication is vital for discerning God’s mind and will.
According to him, understanding the thoughts of God enables believers to align with His purpose, bringing clarity and direction to their lives.
Furthermore, he stressed that consistent supplication renews strength and vigor, empowering individuals to face life’s challenges with resilience and faith.
The preacher also revealed that the act of supplication exposes wicked schemes and evil orchestration, allowing God’s children to triumph over adversaries.
He cited biblical examples of how prayer brought about divine intervention, protection, and deliverance, showcasing its power in frustrating the plans of the enemy and granting believers supernatural access to the spiritual realm.
In his sermon, Pastor Ele-Ojo delved into the spiritual dynamics of supplication, explaining how it breaks evil foundations, dismantles demonic altars, and destroys ungodly covenants.
He further noted that through intense prayer, believers can access realms of abundance and surplus, fulfilling God’s promise of provision and prosperity.
The message also addressed the release of a new identity through supplication, symbolized by the granting of a new name, as seen in the lives of biblical figures like Jacob.
This process, Pastor Ele-Ojo explained, brings transformation and aligns believers with their divine destiny.
Additionally, supplication was described as the key to unlocking long-awaited inheritances and blessings, emphasizing the importance of fervent and persistent prayers.
Exploring why believers need the spirit of supplication, the pastor highlighted its role in helping individuals humbly seek God’s face and remain in His presence.
He underscored the importance of prayer and fasting, reverence for God, and a humble heart as prerequisites for accessing this spirit.
The sermon also touched on the reasons for the baptism of the spirit of supplication, which Pastor Ele-Ojo said enables believers to cleave to God and follow Him wholeheartedly.
He described supplication as a force that strengthens faith, multiplies grace, and guarantees victory over life’s challenges.
In his characteristic style, Pastor Ele-Ojo shared several profound quotes during the sermon, including: “Those that supplicate don’t suffocate” and “Grace is the price of glory.”
He also noted that the altar of supplication is a place where divine grace is multiplied and evil foundations are defeated, urging the congregation to keep their prayer altars burning.
The message concluded with a stirring reminder that true dominion in the natural world is only possible through access to the supernatural realm.
Pastor Ele-Ojo urged all present to engage in consistent supplication, emphasizing that it is the key to experiencing God’s glory, grace, and abundance in every area of life.
