Beloved, today is a
special day in the
sense that Christians
all over the world are
demonstrating their appreciation
for what our
Lord Jesus Christ did for
humanity. He came and
died a sacrificial death for
our sin, was buried and on
the third day
resurrected in order to
rescue us from the impending
doom occasioned
by the sin of Adam and Eve.
He laid down His life for
the love He has for mankind
and was not coerced
into it for He has power to
give it up and take it back.
Jn 10: 17-18 says,
“Therefore doth my Father
love me, because I lay
down my life, that I might
take it again. No man taketh
it from me, but I lay it
down of myself. I have
power to lay it down, and I
have power to take it
again. This commandment
have I received of my
Father.”
The power of resurrection
which we are appreciating
today opens door for
our salvation, deliverance
and all the gifts of life. We
want to let people realize
that the essence of His coming
to die and resurrect is
nothing but that we might
be abundantly blessed. And
these blessings are not limited
to Christians alone but
to as many as will accept
Him as Lord and personal
Saviour.
As we celebrate the power
of His resurrection today,
the challenges of humanity
including physical, spiritual,
political and economic
challenges that are distorting
the progress of man
shall by this divine program
become eradicated. That is
more reason I am urging all
to use the occasion of this
Easter and come to Jesus so
that their problem shall be
no more.
Beloved, the resurrection
of Christ brings that optimism
that no matter how
difficult or how challenging
our situation may be, as
long as there is resurrection,
there will be a restoration
and since Jesus has
defeated death, then all
things are possible. This
also suggests that as bad
as the prevailing situation
in our country might
appear, there is the expectation
that things will get
better if we can boldly
come on His throne of
grace to obtain
mercy. We should understand
that His victory
over death is our victory
over sin and Satan, over
sicknesses and diseases,
barrenness and poverty,
and restoration of all we
loss in Adam. If you believe
it, I am assuring you
that your entire problem
shall be over in Jesus
name
God who is full of compassion
has decided to
end the suffering of man
through the death and
resurrection of His only
begotten son so that the
problem of man shall be
completely over.
God who is full of compassion has
decided to end the suffering of man
through the death and resurrection of
His only begotten son
That is why the Scripture
says, “For God so
loved the world, that he
gave his only begotten
Son, that whosoever believeth
in him should not
perish, but have everlasting
life” (John 3:16). God
made a way for man to be
free from Satan and by
extension, suffering, afflictions,
satanic bondage
and every consequence of
sin through Jesus Christ.
If you are outside the
kingdom of God, a backslider,
afflicted and or
oppressed by the kingdom
of darkness, Christ
has come for you and you
must be free, saved and recovered.
No matter what
your problem may be
God will deliver and save
you and everything you
have lost from the beginning
shall be restored to
you in Jesus name.
Remember, it is never
the will of God that any
soul should perish or remain
under satanic slavery
or suffering, affliction
nor bondage of any
sort, but all shall come to
repentance and become
free because God has determine
that your problem
will be over this Easter.
However, it is only the
acceptance of our Lord
Jesus Christ in your life
and family that will mark

the end of your bondage,
sufferings and sorrows.
John 8:36 says, “If the Son
therefore shall make you
free, ye shall be free indeed.”
Jesus in your life will certainly
and completely make
you free and never to remain
in sin, sorrow, affliction,
poverty or crisis anymore.
TESTIMONY
10 YEARS YOKE OF
SMOKING BROKEN
My name is Sister Ngozi
Ndukamma. I want to testify
how God broke ten
years yoke of smoking in my
life and granted me salvation.
Prior to receiving my
salvation I was into beerparlour
business for more
than five years without an
inkling that I was in sin.
While I was into this business,
I was also smoking
and in a day could smoke
about three packets of cigarette.
But on a fateful day
a woman living on same
street where I was doing
that business invited me to
their church. When I asked
the church she was attending.
She replied “The
Lord’s Chosen”. As at that
time, I was attending a
church with its headquarters
at Sango-Otta. The sister
said that God specifically
sent her to invite me to
The Lord’s Chosen program.
I bluntly told her I
did not want to go to The
Lord’s Chosen. But everyday
she would come to that
beer-parlour to preach to
me. On a particular visit,
she made a statement that
she would not cease inviting
me until I honoured
the invitation to The Lord’s
Chosen.
When I asked why she
was determined to see me
in Chosen, her response
was that it was God who
sent her. After hearing her
that day, I suddenly became
anxious to attend
Lord’s Chosen program.
But I was in a dilemma
because as at that time, I
did not have a single gown
and the Chosen Church
frowns at women wearing
trousers, So I pondered on
what to do the woman said
if I came to The Lord’s
Chosen, I would see what
God would do for me. I
asked her if I could wear
trousers and come since I
had no gown, she said no.
Then I took decision to attend
the Church program
and also let her know of
my conclusion.
She directed me to where
I would go and join the
church bus, but as I did not
wake up on time, the
church bus left. However,
that afforded me the opportunity
to go to my sister
to borrow a gown from
her and wear. Before my
sister gave her gown, she
asked why I wanted to
wear gown, because she
had been telling me to
wear gown to no avail. I
told her that a Chosen sister
invited me to her
church. My sister raised
her hands and began to
praise God on my behalf
because from my youth to
adult age, I had been putting
on trousers; I had never
worn skirt or gown for a
very long time.
After putting on the trouser
and getting to the busstop,
I saw a bus with the
inscription “The Lord’s
Chosen”. I boarded the bus
and it took us to the
Church.
Not quite long we arrived
and took our seats, I
heard the General Pastor
said “You that woman that
is into smoking, I break
that yoke in the name of
Jesus” and immediately I
felt something left me, and
my body started shaking.
The General Pastor continued
and said, ‘those
women wearing trousers
should know they are into
sin, same thing with those
committing fornication.
As many as are hearing my
voice, whether new or old
member, I want you to understand
that there may be
something you are doing
and may not know you are
being controlled by demonic
spirit, and because
you do not know there is a
spirit behind it that is why
you find it difficult to renounce.
Today, that yoke
will be broken in Jesus
name” Behold as the General
Pastor prayed for us
that day, it was like a big
load was lifted off me.
Even in the village, they
know I was into smoking,
whenever I wanted to
smoke I would hide and
smoke, yet when I came out
from my hiding place, they
would know that I had
gone to smoke. But Pastor
prayed that first day the
yoke is broken. Moreover
God of Chosen has
changed my business, I am
very happy to be a Chosen.
