Blaze of Fire Ministries a.k.a. Fountain of Life Chapel, Sapele, Delta State recently  celebrated her annual harvest/thanksgiving service, in a colourful manner.

The guest preacher at the occasion was the Minister of Niger Delta, Elder Godsday Peter Orubebe who is by his calling, a man of God.

Elder Orubebe held the congregation of about 5,000 people, spellbound with his oratory power, indepth knowledge of the Holy Bible, songs, dance and above all a keen display of humility.

The theme of the service for this year was “Come, let’s praise the Lord” which the guest speaker paraphrased to “The wonders of praise.”

In his words; “wonder comes like an enigma. “Praise,” according to him, is not an emotional thing, rather it is a divine activity. Praising God is glorifying Him which must be a prologue to dancing while praising God.”

He gave the example of David in the Holy Bible and advised all Christians to dance while praising God, adding that by so doing Christians use their bodies to praise and please their creator.

He gave the analogy of the breeze and wave in the sea which bring the seafoods resting at the bottom of the sea to the seashore to the Creator who as a result of praises opens all ways to such seekers.

“When you praise God, all ways will be open to you,” he said. In his view, thanksgiving should be a daily affair.

Earlier, Pastor (Barr.) Tsewo Edema had before the arrival of the guest preacher and his entourage taken the congregation through a session of dancing and adoration.

At the end, the chief host, Rev (Mrs) Blessing Edafiadjeke allowed for the ceremony to close without the church’s usual group dancing except the Itsekiri group and the youth group which were extraordin-ary.

However, in order for the usual order to be achieved for the combin-ed attendance of all the ministry’s branches from the headquarters, Oghara, Jesse and Warri members Dr.  Blessing Edafiadjeke, one of the hosts promised the next Sunday for continuation and for the sharing of the Cake of Wealth to the members.

True to the promise all members came back last Sunday gorgeously dressed for dancing to the glory of God, usual annual group (ethnic) display and the sharing of the cake.
