The General Overseer of Solemn Faith International Church, Pastor Matthew Ele-Ojo James, has emphasized that attraction is a spiritual force that naturally draws attention, stressing that favour remains one of God’s greatest instruments for transforming lives.
He made this declaration during the church’s Sunday service held at Road 21, Plot 14, Federal Housing Estate, Woji, Port Harcourt.
Preaching on the topic “The Wonder of Favour (Part 2),” Pastor Ele-Ojo James anchored his message on scriptures from Esther 7:1–10 and Psalm 102:13, explaining that favour is not merely a blessing but a divine advantage that changes destinies.
According to him, favour brings divine attraction, opens doors that human effort cannot, and positions individuals for uncommon breakthroughs.
He noted that through favour, God causes His people to overcome lack and empty-handedness, granting access to abundance and the fullness of His blessings.
He explained that favour removes the burdens of poverty, shame, reproach, and disgrace, replacing them with honour and restoration.
Pastor Ele-Ojo James further stated that the preservation of lives and property is often sustained on the platform of divine favour, citing biblical examples where favour shielded individuals and nations from destruction.
The cleric also highlighted that favour attracts genuine helpers who are divinely assigned, stressing that the quality of helpers surrounding a person often determines the speed and sustainability of their progress in life. He warned that while lack of favour exposes people to unnecessary battles, favour attracts breakthroughs and divine interventions.
Speaking on how believers can access and sustain favour, Pastor Ele-Ojo James stressed the importance of clean and holy living, noting that uncleanliness deprives individuals of fruitful favour.
He emphasized divine mercy as a major gateway to favour and urged members to place value on favour and its channels.
According to him, developing a burden for God and delighting in obedient submission to divine instructions positions believers for continuous favour.
During the service, Pastor Ele-Ojo James delivered several striking declarations, noting that beauty without favour is empty and unproductive, and that God’s blessings put a permanent end to satanic curses.
He affirmed that favour is the cure for reproach and poverty and reminded the congregation that the preservation of Mordecai and the Hebrew people was sustained by divine favour.
He added that it is better to be surrounded by genuine helpers with little substance than fake helpers with great resources.
The service featured uplifting ministrations by the Solemn Voice Choir and powerful testimonies from members who shared accounts of divine intervention and breakthroughs.
The atmosphere was charged with worship, gratitude, and renewed faith as congregants reflected on the transformative power of favour in their daily lives.
