Grace Nation PHDS: “Groaning in the Spirit Breaks Perpetual Bondage”
— Dr Chris Okafor

…No demonic force can withstand spiritual groaning

…The spiritual realm overrides the physical

Praying in the Spirit—particularly through groaning and speaking in tongues—has the capacity to break longstanding bondage and provoke immediate divine intervention.

This was the central message delivered by the Generational Prophet and Senior Pastor of Grace Nation Global, Dr Chris Okafor, during the Midweek Prophetic Healing, Deliverance and Solutions (PHDS) service at the church’s international headquarters in Ojodu Berger, Lagos.

Speaking during prophetic declarations, Dr Okafor emphasized that when believers engage in deep, Spirit-led prayer, especially in unknown tongues, they activate a higher dimension of divine response.

According to him, such prayers attract immediate attention from God and can alter difficult situations.

He noted that strategic and intense prayer against forces of bondage can shift negative circumstances. “When you engage the Spirit at that level, God steps in and rewrites the narrative in your favour,” he stated.

Addressing the sub-theme of spiritual slavery and bondage, the cleric explained that groaning in the Spirit disrupts negative spiritual influences. He added that speaking in tongues creates confusion within what he described as opposing spiritual forces, leading to a breakdown of their operations.

Prophetic Moments and Outreach

The service reportedly took on a heightened prophetic dimension, with sessions focused on deliverance and restoration.

According to the church, individuals experienced breakthroughs as prayers were offered over various personal challenges.
In a notable outreach gesture, the ministry distributed over 70 wedding gowns to single women, while also making prophetic declarations concerning families seeking children, with 27 “miracle baby” blessings pronounced during the service.


Prayer for the Nation

The PHDS gathering concluded with prayers for Nigeria, as Dr Okafor called for divine guidance for national leaders ahead of the country’s upcoming political activities.

The service combined teaching, prophetic engagement, and humanitarian gestures, reflecting the ministry’s emphasis on spiritual intervention and social support.

Discipleship: “Walk with the Wise and You Will Become Wise”
— Dr Chris Okafor

…Evil communication corrupts good character
…The Holy Spirit is the seal of redemption

True Christian living, beyond winning souls, requires nurturing and sustaining new converts in the faith. This was the central message delivered by the Generational Prophet and Senior Pastor of Grace Nation Global, Dr Chris Okafor, during a teaching on “Understanding the Act of Discipleship.”
According to him, soul winning without proper establishment and follow-up defeats its purpose. “The goal is not just conversion but fruitfulness and continuity in Christ,” he emphasized, noting that believers must also understand the conditions that make prayers effective.

The Necessity of Discipleship

Dr Okafor outlined why discipleship is essential in the Christian journey:
New converts require guidance to withstand temptations that could pull them back into their former ways.
They must gradually disconnect from relationships and habits that previously weakened their faith.
Support systems should be in place to help them navigate personal and spiritual challenges.
Consistent follow-up, rooted in love and care, helps prevent discouragement and negative perceptions.
Proper integration into the body of Christ strengthens their sense of belonging and commitment.

Understanding Discipleship

He described discipleship as a deliberate process of helping believers grow in Christ and align with godly principles rather than worldly influences. It involves:
Guiding converts until Christ is fully formed in them.
Transmitting biblical values that strengthen their faith and daily conduct.

Practical Approach to Discipleship

The cleric highlighted key methods for effective discipleship:
Fervent prayer for the spiritual stability of new believers.
Demonstrating genuine love and consistent care.
Regular follow-up visits and visible engagement.
Encouraging early infilling of the Holy Spirit.
Teaching habits that sustain spiritual growth.

Habits That Strengthen Faith

To remain grounded, believers were encouraged to cultivate:
Daily study of the Word of God
Consistent prayer and fellowship with God
Active participation in church gatherings
Bold expression of their faith
A conscious rejection of unrighteousness
Deep-rooted commitment to the house of God

A Foundation for Growth

In conclusion, Dr Chris Okafor stressed that discipleship thrives when believers are rooted in sound spiritual guidance. “When you walk with the wise, you become wise,” he said, adding that strong spiritual formation protects individuals from negative influences and preserves godly character.

The Grace Nation Global Sunday Communion Service, observed by members worldwide, featured testimonies, healing sessions, deliverance, and a special child dedication, rounding off the service on a note of faith and celebration.

NBM OF AFRICA WORLDWIDE SAYS NO TO XENOPHOBIA: AFRO IMMIGRANTS DESERVE JUSTICE AND DUE PROCESS




In recent times, disturbing images and reports have continued to surface, showing the harsh realities faced by African immigrants in different parts of the world. 




These incidents are not just isolated acts of hostility, they reflect a growing pattern of xenophobia that threatens the unity, dignity, and shared identity of the African people.

The of Africa (NBM) Worldwide unequivocally condemns all forms of xenophobia, discrimination, and violence directed at African immigrants. No African should be treated as a stranger on African soil or dehumanized in foreign lands simply for seeking better opportunities, safety, or livelihood.

Migration is a fundamental human reality. Across history, Africans have moved across borders in search of survival and progress. This movement must never be met with hatred, unlawful detention, violence, or systemic injustice. Afro immigrants, regardless of their location, deserve fairness, respect, and most importantly, due process under the law.

We call on the government of South Africa, Nigeria and  you indeed the African Union to as a matter of urgency put up a strong diplomatic instruments aimed to address and forestall the recurring scourge of Xenophobia, we equally call on all relevant institutions across Africa and the globe

whose primary objectives is directed at upholding the dignity of man to rise up to the challenge to ensure that the rights of all immigrants are protected. Where there are legal issues, they must be addressed through lawful and humane procedures—not mob action, profiling, or abuse of power.

NBM of Africa Worldwide stands firmly for African unity, justice, and human dignity. We reject narratives that divide us and promote hostility among our people. An attack on one African, anywhere in the world, is an attack on all Africans.




This is a call to conscience. A call to leadership. A call to all Africans at home and in the diaspora to rise above division and stand for justice Say No Xenophobia.

Justice for Afro Immigrants.

Due Process for All.







Barr. Hope Aliu, LL.M, FCIMC, FIMC, ACIS

President, NBM of Africa Worldwide.

Opinion: Doris Ogala should refrain from mentioning Dr. Chris Okafor's name given his marital status.
...He is not accountable for your predicament; kindly address your case file.

Meta Facebook should take immediate action to sanitize its platform of individuals like Doris who are spreading malicious content, and Doris should be careful when referencing Lagos-based well-known Pastor Dr. Chris Okafor in connection to her faded career

Doris Ogala should be aware that the Generational Prophet is now in a fulfilling marriage with his spouse, and her recent troubles are exclusively attributed to the ancestral curse that has been a persistent issue since her previous union, which her current husband had not yet discovered.

When a grown up woman lack wisdom and good parental upbringing what should be expected from such woman is exactly what Doris Ogala portraying as human beings that fabricated lies against a true man of God and go scout-free so, no one is expected to sympathized with the faded-away actress known as Doris Ogala and she must dearly pay for her evil manipulation as nemesis hunting her back.

It's prudent for Doris Ogala, or those close to her, to be aware of the potential risks associated with her claims regarding Dr. Chris Okafor, a married man. Without proper justification, such actions could lead to severe repercussions. The challenges she faces might be linked to her actions, and a genuine change might mitigate her situation.

Consider how the spouse of the person you're criticizing online might feel when you address them so informally. Don't you think she's capable of facing you? While she may not respond to provocations, it's advisable not to provoke further

I am taking this opportunity to advise Doris Ogala to reconsider her actions and prioritize her career by refraining from mentioning the name of a man who does not reciprocate her interest. It would also be prudent for Doris Ogala to reflect on her age and compare it with the age of the person she is so ardently pursuing and to respect the sanctity of his home, which would invite divine blessings and a peaceful life of her own if she dedicates her life to Christ, potentially reversing any adverse fate that may be looming over her.

Sincerely dedicating your life to Christ and amending your behavior can lead to divine mercy and a stable living arrangement; in my considered opinion, reforming one's ways can yield compassion.

Court Summons Doris Ogala Over False Allegations Against Dr. Chris Okafor

Contrary to the narrative actress Doris Ogala has sought to project on social media, the General Overseer of Greater Liberation City, Dr. Chris Okafor, is not behind her recent invitation or attempted arrest by law enforcement authorities.

Rather, sources indicate that the actress is being sought in connection with a pending criminal suit instituted against her by the Federal Government of Nigeria before the Federal High Court, Lagos Judicial Division, over allegations linked to her social media publications concerning the cleric.
The case, filed as Charge No. FHC/L/2/220C/2026 – Federal Republic of Nigeria v. Doris Ogala, is said to be before Honourable Justice Aluko.

According to sources familiar with the matter, officers of the Nigerian Police Force, Zone 2 Headquarters, Onikan, Lagos, attempted to reach Ogala because she was scheduled for arraignment on Tuesday, April 14, 2026, and remains on administrative bail.
“The officers only sought to serve the defendant with the charge and ensure her appearance before the court,” a source disclosed.

Court documents reveal that the Federal Government has filed a four-count charge against Ogala bordering on alleged cyberstalking, dissemination of false information, harassment, and attempted extortion under the Cybercrimes (Prohibition, Prevention, etc.) Amendment Act, 2024.
The charges include allegations that she:
Published nude and intimate photographs of Dr. Chris Okafor without consent;
Made and disseminated allegations accusing the pastor of rape, ritual practices, and involvement in a death;
Published videos and electronic messages allegedly intended to harass, bully, and intimidate him;
Allegedly threatened continued publication of damaging materials unless compensated or provided with a house.

A source close to the matter insisted that Dr. Chris Okafor is not orchestrating the legal action and has no direct involvement in the prosecution beyond being the nominal complainant.
“Sadly, rather than addressing the issues before the court, Doris continues to drag Pastor Chris Okafor into the matter publicly,” the source said.

“The simple position is that whoever makes allegations must be prepared to substantiate them in court. That is all the court requires. Pastor Chris Okafor has moved on and is not pursuing any personal vendetta. She is the one who must answer to the law.”

The development underscores what insiders describe as a legal process driven by the state and not by personal influence, despite attempts to portray the matter otherwise online.

Monday Okpebholo Rebuilds POWA Market, Disburses ₦200 Million to Fire Victims

The intervention comes just days after the governor pledged swift action following the devastating fire incident that disrupted livelihoods in the community.

“A few days ago, I made a promise to the traders affected by the POWA Market fire in Ekpoma. Today, I have fulfilled that promise,” Okpebholo said. “We have rebuilt the market, and I personally presented the cheques to each of the affected traders as we disbursed ₦200 million in support, with every shop owner receiving ₦8 million to help them restart their businesses.”

He acknowledged the hardship caused by the disaster, emphasizing that the initiative was not only about economic recovery but also restoring dignity and hope among victims.

“I understand the pain and disruption this incident caused, and this intervention is about restoring not just livelihoods, but hope and dignity,” he added.

The governor framed the effort as part of his administration’s broader commitment to responsive governance and people-centered policies. “This is what governance means to me, standing with our people and taking real action when it matters most,” he said, assuring residents that further support initiatives would follow.

Okpebholo concluded on a note of optimism about the state’s future, declaring, “We will continue to do more to support our people and put smiles on the faces of Edo families. A New Edo has risen.”

PRESS STATEMENT ON U.S. EMBASSY SECURITY ADVISORY AND RISING INSECURITY IN NIGERIA
BY THE OF AFRICA WORLDWIDE



The of Africa Worldwide expresses grave concern over the recent decision by the United States Government to authorize the departure of non-emergency personnel and their families from its Embassy in Abuja due to the deteriorating security situation in Nigeria.

This development raises serious questions about the global perception of Nigeria’s safety and stability, particularly in relation to diplomacy, investment, and economic engagement. It underscores a growing loss of confidence that must be urgently addressed.

Reports indicating that several states across the country have been designated as high-risk due to terrorism, kidnapping, violent crime, and civil unrest reflect a troubling reality that Nigerians confront daily. The scale and persistence of these threats can no longer be downplayed or treated with routine assurances.

While we sincerely recognise and appreciate the effort of the Federal government so far in the quest to tackle the menace of insecurity, the of Africa Worldwide however, calls on the President Bola Ahmed Tinubu, as Commander-in-Chief of the Armed Forces, to double the effort to take direct and visible leadership in addressing this situation. At a time of heightened concern, Nigerians and the international community require clear communication, decisive action, and measurable progress in restoring security and public confidence.

We therefore urge the Federal Government to immediately take the following into consideration:

I. Intensify intelligence gathering and coordinated security operations across identified high-risk areas.

II. Strengthen the capacity of security agencies through improved funding, training, and modern equipment.
III. Address underlying drivers of insecurity, including unemployment, poverty, and systemic corruption.
IV. Enforce accountability at all levels of governance, including state and local authorities, for security outcomes within their jurisdictions.
V. Provide a direct national address outlining a clear strategy to confront insecurity and restore confidence.

Nigeria remains a critical actor in Africa and a longstanding partner in global affairs. However, sustained insecurity poses a direct threat to national development, investor confidence, and the well-being of citizens.

The time for decisive leadership is now. Nigerians must be assured, through action, not rhetoric, that their safety is a priority. The international community is watching, and the response to this moment will define the nation’s trajectory in the months ahead.

Barr. Hope Aliu, LL. M, FICMC, FIMC, ACIS.

Grace Nation Worldwide: A Living Reality – Dr. Chris Okafor

......“Miracles, Healing, and Deliverance Overflow at Grace Nation Services”

The Grace Nation midweek Prophetic Healing, Deliverance, and Solutions (PHDS) Service on 2nd April 2026 at the international headquarters in Ojodu Berger, Lagos, was a spectacular display of God’s power, marked by miracles, healing, and deliverance.
The God of Grace Nation continues to demonstrate His authority, breaking strongholds, healing the sick, restoring lost glory, and providing solutions to every problem presented at His altar.

Testimonies of God’s Power
One woman, previously diagnosed with a terminal condition and slated for a ₦4.5 million surgery due to inability to excrete, was prayed for by the Generational Prophet, Christopher Okafor, just a week after visiting the church. Declaring healing within 24 hours, she returned to testify to God’s miraculous intervention.

Another pregnant woman, whose baby was bridged and at risk, was located and prayed for. She returned to service with confirmation that her child is now well-positioned for delivery. Similarly, a woman booked for a C-section due to an overdue and poorly positioned pregnancy testified during the service that her baby is now properly positioned, ready for birth.

These testimonies underscore the truth: what God cannot do does not exist. Grace Nation has entered a new level of spiritual authority, and with faith, believers are witnessing the impossible become reality.

God Works by Principle, Not Gossip

In his sermon, Dr. Okafor emphasized that God does not operate on superstition, gossip, or social media pressures. His work is grounded in His Word, and it is through adherence to His principles that Grace Nation continues to flourish.

The Generational Prophet stressed that to enjoy divine blessings and fruitfulness, believers must remain connected to God’s Word, faithfully serve Him, and ignore distractions or side-talks. Focused commitment to God’s service guarantees alignment with His miraculous power.

Join the Movement
Grace Nation Worldwide is open for all who desire a life transformed by divine intervention. Weekly services include:
Sunday Service: 7:00 AM
Grace Nation Island Service (Ogombo): Wednesday, 5:00 PM
Midweek PHDS Service: Thursday, 7:00 AM

Attending these services under the ministry of the Generational Prophet ensures encounters with God’s supernatural power, life-changing miracles, and lasting breakthroughs.
Grace Nation Worldwide is not just a church—it is a reality where faith meets the supernatural.

Dr. Chris Okafor invokes divine retribution upon individuals blackmailing the Grace Nation church
... Affirming God's omnipotence to unveil malicious schemes.

To be frank, the ability of Doris Ogala and her associates to withstand the arduous challenges set by Senior Pastor Dr. Chris Okafor of Grace Nation Global at the culmination of the Harvest of Babies 2026 conference, the church's flagship event, continues to elude me.

It's advisable not to offend a powerful spiritual leader like Prophet Chris Okafor to avoid potential consequences, as seen in the situation with Doris Ogala, who was rebuked by the prophet; can she rectify the situation through confession?

Insiders close to the man of God claim that despite relentless online bullying and blackmailing, the Generational Prophet remains resolute, stating that God's power has been evident throughout the commission's existence. The reason for this wonderful statement is found in the scriptures, "Upon this rock I shall build my Church, and the gates of hell shall not prevail." The more falsehoods are spread about the church and its leader, the more God elevates the church and propels him to greater heights, he asserted. He emphasized that blessings and fruitfulness are antidotes to curses, noting that God continues to bestow blessings upon the church, including miracles and the gift of children, which is one reason for the grand finale of the annual family liberation program, The Harvest of Babies.

However, the man of God issued a curse on each person speaking ill of the church, blackmailing, and uttering all sorts of falsehoods against the church, declaring that if they refused to repent within a few days, the earth would swallow them and their family members, stating that they would be of no use to themselves, their families, or society at large.

The spiritual leader cautions his followers to beware of such individuals including Doris Ogala who may taint their faith, and urges them to treat these persons as emissaries of the devil, avoiding them altogether.

Recall that the 2026 harvest of babies concluded with a remarkable birth of a miracle baby boy to a woman on the third day of the conference, accompanied by the dedication of several other miracle babies, all to the glory of God.

Christopher Sunday David writes from
Austria

Grace Nation: Harvest of Babies 2026 Records Miracle Birth and Dedication of Twins as Conference Concludes

“Guard your fruitfulness—identify and avoid distractions.”

The 2026 edition of Harvest of Babies, the flagship family liberation conference of Grace Nation Global, concluded with remarkable testimonies, including the reported safe delivery of a baby boy during the programme and the dedication of multiple “miracle babies.”

Miracle Delivery and Baby Dedications
One of the standout testimonies involved a woman whose pregnancy had gone beyond term and was reportedly scheduled for surgery. According to accounts shared during the conference, she was prayed for after being identified during one of the sessions. She later delivered a healthy baby boy without complications during the course of the event.
The conference also witnessed the dedication of several children described as long-awaited blessings, including twins after 15 years, a baby boy after 9 years, and a baby girl after 7 years. The dedications formed a major highlight of the closing moments of the programme, reinforcing the conference’s focus on fruitfulness and restoration.

Teaching on Fruitfulness
Continuing his teaching series on “Fruitfulness,” the Generational Prophet of God and Senior Pastor of Grace Nation Worldwide, Dr Chris Okafor, emphasized the importance of addressing the root causes of life’s challenges.
“If the cause of a battle is not confronted, the cycle may continue,” he said, adding that spiritual discipline—particularly prayer—remains a key tool in overcoming limitations such as barrenness, whether physical, financial, or generational.
He described prayer as a necessary channel for divine intervention, stressing that understanding one’s spiritual foundation is essential to overcoming recurring challenges.

Guarding Your Fruitfulness
Dr. Okafor also warned about distractions that may hinder progress, urging believers to remain focused on principles that sustain growth and fulfillment.
“Every kingdom operates by principles,” he noted. “If you allow distractions around you to take your focus away from those principles, you may delay your manifestation.”
He encouraged participants to be intentional about their environment, relationships, and spiritual discipline in order to maintain their breakthroughs.

What Hinders Fruitfulness?
The cleric identified curses and ignorance as major obstacles to fruitfulness. According to him, some challenges may stem from longstanding family patterns, but these can be broken through spiritual understanding and alignment.
He reiterated that blessings—particularly those pronounced through spiritual authority—have the capacity to reverse negative cycles and establish fruitfulness.
“Ignorance allows problems to persist,” he said. “But when you gain understanding and follow divine instruction, transformation begins.”

Looking Ahead
Although the 2026 Harvest of Babies conference has ended, organizers say the testimonies and experiences from the event will have a lasting impact. Many participants expressed faith that by this time next year, they will return with their own testimonies of fruitfulness.
The conference closed on a note of expectation, with attendees looking forward to future editions and continued manifestations of what they described as divine intervention.

Harvest of Babies 2026 Day 3: The Cure for Curses Is Blessing and Fruitfulness — Dr. Chris Okafor

.....“When you serve God diligently,
He rewards you with fruitfulness.”

The ongoing Harvest of Babies 2026 conference of Grace Nation Worldwide continued with powerful teachings and testimonies as the Generational Prophet of God and Senior Pastor, Christopher Okafor, emphasized the place of service, prayer, and covenant in unlocking fruitfulness.

Fruitfulness as a Reward of Service

Continuing his teaching on the theme “Fruitfulness,” Dr. Okafor stated that fruitfulness is a divine reward for those who walk closely with God. According to him, serving God diligently positions believers to experience results across all areas of life.
“Fruitfulness is of God,” he said. “When you serve Him wholeheartedly, one of the benefits you receive is fruitfulness in every dimension—whether in the fruit of the womb, career success, good health, or overall breakthrough.”
He further stressed that genuine service—especially soul winning and commitment to God’s work—provokes divine rewards.

What Provokes Fruitfulness?

The cleric outlined key principles that activate fruitfulness in a believer’s life:

Service

Serving God in truth and sincerity releases divine backing. According to him, service activates God’s promise that none shall be barren, establishing fruitfulness as a spiritual command rather than a mere desire.


Prayer

Prayer, he explained, is the channel through which believers invite God into their circumstances. Strategic and consistent prayer activates divine intervention and aligns individuals with God’s promises.

Covenant

Dr. Okafor emphasized that God operates by covenant, not sentiment. A strong covenant relationship with God creates a pathway for blessings and sustained fruitfulness.
“When you understand and align with God’s covenant,” he noted, “you create a roadmap for divine manifestation in your life.”
Breaking Curses Through Blessings
In his concluding remarks, the Generational Prophet declared that negative patterns and curses do not disappear automatically—they must be confronted and replaced.
“Nothing changes on its own,” he said. “The cure for curses is blessing and fruitfulness. When you serve God diligently, He transforms your life and establishes you in fruitfulness.”

Conference Highlights
Day Three of the conference witnessed intense prophetic sessions marked by testimonies of miracles, healing, deliverance, restoration, and solutions to various challenges presented before God.

Grand Finale Announcement
The grand finale of Harvest of Babies 2026 is scheduled for Sunday, March 29, 2026, at 7:00 a.m. at the international headquarters of Grace Nation Worldwide in Ojodu Berger, Lagos.
Participants are encouraged to attend with their families and loved ones as the conference concludes with what organizers describe as a powerful outpouring of divine intervention.

Harvest of Babies 2026:
It Is God’s Will for All to Be Fruitful — Dr. Chris Okafor

“God is not moved by sentiment, but by principle.”

The much-anticipated family liberation conference of Grace Nation Global, Harvest of Babies 2026, has commenced on a strong note, with reports of over 700 miracle babies declared during the ongoing programme.
The four-day event began on Wednesday, March 24, 2026, drawing millions of participants from across the world through Liberation TV and other Grace Nation online platforms.

Fruitfulness as a Divine Mandate

Speaking on Day Two of the conference, the Generational Prophet of God and Senior Pastor of Grace Nation Worldwide, Christopher Okafor, described fruitfulness as a foundational command from God.
Preaching on the theme “Fruitfulness,” he emphasized that the first mandate given to humanity was to be fruitful, stressing that this principle extends beyond childbearing to every area of life.
“It is the will of God for everyone to be fruitful,” he said, “not only in the area of the womb but in all aspects of life.”
He further described barrenness—whether physical, spiritual, or economic—as contrary to God’s intention for His people.
“Wherever barrenness is broken,” he noted, “it is by divine intervention. God confirms His Word, not human opinion.”

The Principle Behind Fruitfulness

Dr. Okafor explained that fruitfulness is governed by principles, not emotions.
“God is not moved by sentiment,” he stated. “He responds to principles.”
According to him, one of the key principles is service and commitment to God. He emphasized that unanswered prayers may sometimes be linked to a lack of genuine service or alignment with divine expectations.
“To be fruitful, you must understand the principle of service,” he said. “When you serve God sincerely and make Him your covenant focus, fruitfulness becomes evident in your life.”
He added that true devotion involves serving God wholeheartedly, both in spirit and in action, noting that such commitment attracts divine provision and establishes lasting results.

Testimonies and Manifestations

The conference has reportedly witnessed significant moments of healing, deliverance, and restoration. One notable testimony involved a woman who had reportedly been unable to relieve herself for over five weeks and was scheduled for a major medical procedure. Following prayers, she experienced immediate relief, an outcome participants described as a remarkable intervention.
Several other testimonies of breakthroughs and restoration were also recorded during the session.

Continuing the Conference

The Harvest of Babies 2026 conference continues at the international headquarters of Grace Nation Worldwide in Ojodu Berger, Lagos, with daily sessions attracting both physical and virtual attendees.
Organizers say the programme is focused on prayers for fruitfulness, deliverance from negative patterns, marital breakthroughs, financial stability, and the fruit of the womb.
Participants are encouraged to join the ongoing sessions, with the belief that divine intervention can bring transformation in every area of life.

Wisdom: The Principal Catalyst for
Breaking Evil Patterns — Dr. Chris Okafor

.....“Demonic patterns persist until someone
rises to confront and change them.”


.....Grace Nation Global also used the occasion to celebrate mothers with special prayers and thanksgiving.

Understanding how to break negative cycles requires more than desire—it demands insight, discipline, and the right spiritual principles. This formed the foundation of the teaching delivered by the Generational Prophet of God and Senior Pastor of Grace Nation Worldwide, Christopher Okafor, during the Divine Intervention and Breakthrough Service held at the church’s international headquarters in Ojodu Berger, Lagos, Nigeria.

Understanding Ungodly Patterns

Preaching in the ongoing series “Patterns,” with the subtitle “Ungodly Patterns,” Dr. Okafor explained that recurring negative experiences within families are often sustained by underlying spiritual forces and long-standing practices.
According to him, covenant practices, consistent spiritual discipline, and kingdom commitment are among the channels through which individuals can break free from such patterns.
“Demonic patterns do not end on their own,” he said. “They remain until someone rises with understanding and takes responsibility to change the narrative.”
The Role of Prayer and Spiritual Discipline
The cleric emphasized that strategic and intentional prayer is central to rewriting one’s life story. He described prayer as giving God the legal ground to intervene in human affairs.
However, he cautioned that prayer without corresponding action may delay results.

“When you pray without enforcement, results may be slow,” he noted. “But when prayer is backed by commitment, sacrifice, and alignment with God’s principles, answers come swiftly, and long-standing patterns are broken.”
Breaking Curses and Negative Cycles

Dr. Okafor further described curses as spiritual forces that keep individuals trapped in repeated cycles. He stressed that breaking such patterns requires spiritual awareness, obedience to divine instruction, and alignment with godly authority.

He also highlighted the importance of honouring both biological and spiritual guidance, noting that such alignment can play a role in overcoming entrenched limitations.

“When you follow divine instruction and remain committed,” he said, “you position yourself for freedom, and what once held your family bound begins to lose its grip.”

Service Highlights
The Divine Intervention and Breakthrough Service featured moments of deliverance, healing, miracles, restoration, and testimonies from attendees who reported positive changes in their lives.

Celebration of Mothers

The service also included a special segment dedicated to celebrating mothers across Grace Nation Global.
In his remarks, Dr. Okafor described women as pillars of society and emphasized the need to honour and appreciate their sacrifices.

He prayed for all women in the ministry, declaring that they would live to enjoy the fruits of their labour and witness the fulfillment of their destinies.


“None will die before their glory manifests,” he declared. “Every woman who has laboured will reap in joy.”
He further pronounced blessings on expectant mothers, expressing faith that by the same time next year, many would return with testimonies of fulfilled desires.

Dishonouring Fathers Pollutes Your Source and Limits Destiny — Dr. Chris Okafor

“A father’s blessing is tied to your breakthrough and can change life’s patterns.”

Dishonouring one’s father—whether biological or spiritual—can disrupt the source of a person’s blessings and hinder progress in life. According to the Generational Prophet of God and Senior Pastor of Grace Nation Global, Christopher Okafor, honouring one’s father is a spiritual principle that preserves destiny and unlocks divine favour.

Dr. Okafor made this statement during the Sunday Divine Intervention and Breakthrough Service held on March 15, 2026, at the international headquarters of Grace Nation Worldwide in Ojodu Berger, Lagos, Nigeria.

The Power of a Father’s Blessing

In his teaching, the cleric described a father as a spiritual source.
According to him, when individuals respect and honour their source, they create a pathway for blessings, stability, and the fulfillment of their inheritance in life.

“One of the most dangerous practices for a believer is dishonouring a father,” he said.

“When the source is honoured, life flows well and destiny is preserved.”

He warned that when a father releases a negative declaration, it can become difficult for a person to experience lasting success, regardless of their level of hard work or skill.

“You may be hardworking,” he noted, “but if the source is polluted, progress can become difficult.”
Patterns Passed Through Families
Continuing his sermon in the series “Patterns – Part 2,” Dr. Okafor explained that many individuals struggle with recurring challenges within their families.

He suggested that hostility, blackmail, or disrespect toward authority figures may sometimes reflect deeper unresolved patterns within family lineages.

According to him, such patterns can affect a person’s progress until they are consciously addressed.

Breaking Negative Patterns

The preacher emphasized that the blessing of a father can interrupt negative family cycles.

Regardless of the patterns affecting a family, he said, a sincere blessing from a father figure has the spiritual authority to shift circumstances and open new paths for success.

He further advised believers to live responsibly, follow divine instructions, and remain prayerful.
“When you honour your fathers and walk in obedience,” he said, “God releases guidance and answers prayers speedily.”

Service Announcement

Meanwhile, Grace Nation Worldwide has announced that its annual flagship family liberation conference, “Harvest of Babies 2026,” will hold in the last week of March at the church’s international headquarters in Ojodu Berger, Lagos.

According to church officials, the conference is designed for couples and individuals trusting God for the fruit of the womb. The event is expected to attract participants from different parts of the world seeking spiritual support and prayer for miracle children.

Dr. Okafor encouraged expectant parents and families believing for children to participate in the prophetic gathering, expressing faith that God will bring transformation and testimonies to many lives.

Oyo Teachers Hold Solemn Assembly, Pray for Peace, Security


Teachers in Oyo State have been urged to be steadfast in prayers for the State Wing Executive Council of the Nigeria Union of Teachers (NUT) and Oyo State.

The Chairman, NUT, Oyo State wing, Comrade Raji Oladimeji made the call on Thursday during a Solemn Assembly held at the Union’s headquarters in Ibadan.

The Nigeria Union of Teachers (NUT) holds an annual Solemn Assembly in Ibadan to commit the union’s activities, teachers' welfare, and Oyo State into God's hands through prayers led by Christian and Muslim clerics.

Comrade Oladimeji said the programme was designed to draw the leadership of the Union and the entire members closer to God, stressing that nothing was impossible with God.

Comrade Oladimeji said: “We pray to God to lead us, and to teach us what we need to know and what we need to do. We are here today to surrender our petitions to the Lord God. We believe He will hear us and our demands will come to pass”.

The NUT Chairman revealed that a lot was being done to improve the welfare of Oyo teachers, expressing confidence that Governor Seyi Makinde's administration in improving on the welfare of teachers in the state.

He applauded relevant government agencies, such as Oyo State Universal Basic Education Board, OYOSUBEB, Oyo State Post-Primary Teaching Service Commission, TESCOM, and the Ministry of Education for prioritising the welfare of teachers.

Oladimeji equally appreciated the National President, NUT, Com. Audu Titus Amba for his relentless advocacy for improved teacher welfare, and his efforts in ensuring better working conditions across the country.

He therefore charged the teachers to be role models to their pupils and students.

Oladimeji also emphasized the need for teachers to seek the face of God in their lives to be able to discharge their duties aright.

In their separate sermons, Pastor (Mrs) Margaret 'Dayo Akinrinde, from the Redeemed Christian Church of God, RCCG Oyo Province 2, Ibadan and Comrade Alh. Haroon Lawal, a retired Permanent Secretary likened teachers to a Shephard who dedicated much of His time to caring for His flock, further describing the teachers as the “shepherds of our generation”.

Consequently, the Union also donated welfare materials to teachers in the 33 local government areas of the State.

The items which include customized clothing materials and other items were distributed to NUT leaders for onward distribution to the teachers.

While distributing the items, the Chairman, Com. Raji Oladimeji informed members that the materials were given to appreciate the efforts that teachers have been putting into the education of students.

The event, which was attended by relevant authorities, and teachers from across the state, featured Quran and Bible readings, prayer session for the leadership of the NUT at all levels, for teachers across the country, for Union staff and for the entire workforce of Nigeria, amongst other prayer points.

..... “You must never become a testing ground for the enemy.”

No matter the level of one’s commitment in life, spiritual power ultimately determines how far a person can go, especially in times of prosperity. According to the Generational Prophet of God and Senior Pastor of Grace Nation Global, Christopher Okafor, the moment a believer gives up in the face of opposition is the moment the enemy claims victory.

Dr. Okafor made this statement during the midweek Prophecy, Healing, Deliverance and Solutions Service (PHDS) held at the international headquarters of Grace Nation Worldwide in Ojodu Berger, Lagos, Nigeria.
Understanding “The Patterns and the Enemies”


Speaking in a teaching series titled “The Patterns and the Enemies,” the cleric explained that adversaries rarely focus on the weakest point. Instead, they often target the “arrowhead”—the person carrying influence or purpose—because once the head is attacked, the rest of the structure becomes vulnerable.

However, he emphasized that believers must refuse to allow themselves to become testing grounds for the enemy’s schemes.

“When you allow the devil to manipulate you,” he said, “it limits your inheritance and destiny. But when you resist, you weaken the enemy and win the battle.”

The Spirit of Jericho

Dr. Okafor also warned about what he described as the “spirit of Jericho,” which he said causes individuals to fight or oppose others without clear reason.

According to him, this spirit can provoke unnecessary conflicts, accusations, or hostility.

“When you see people attacking others without cause, it often reflects all deeper spiritual influence at work,” he said.
Despite such opposition, the preacher encouraged believers not to be discouraged. Instead, they should remain grounded in the covenant principles of God.

“You don’t always need to ask why people fight or blackmail you,” he explained. “Sometimes the battles come because of what you carry—your calling, your grace, or your destiny.”

Confronting Spiritual Opposition


According to Dr. Okafor, the most effective way to confront negative spiritual influences is through fervent and strategic prayer. Prayer, he said, activates divine intervention and dismantles destructive patterns.
“When you deploy prayer as a strategy,” he stated, “every spirit of opposition will bow, and every negative pattern standing in your family will be broken.”

The Power of a Prayerful Life
In conclusion,

the Generational Prophet emphasized that a Life rooted in prayer is difficult for the enemy to overcome.


“There is very little the enemy can do against a prayerful person,” he said. “Prayer moves God, and when God moves, every evil pattern in a person’s life is destroyed.”

Service Highlights


The midweek non-denominational prophetic gathering concluded with prophetic declarations, testimonies of healing, deliverance, restoration, and solutions to various challenges presented during the service, as many attendees sought spiritual guidance and intervention.

The devoted and modest wife emphasized that Prophet Israel Oladele's existence has been marked not only by significant achievements in the Christian community but also by a profound commitment to elevating the downtrodden, nurturing aspirations, and providing unwavering support to many destinies that now shine brightly.

Facebook Controversy: Grace Nation Members
Call for Restraint Over Claims by Doris Ogala

Members of Grace Nation worldwide have expressed concern over what they describe as repeated online remarks made by Nollywood actress Doris Ogala regarding the Generational Prophet and Senior Pastor of Grace Nation Global, Dr Christian Okafor.


In a statement released by individuals identifying themselves as sons and daughters of the cleric, the group said they have chosen to remain calm and respect legal processes despite what they consider persistent attempts to drag their spiritual leader into public controversy.


According to the statement, members believe the ongoing public commentary is unnecessary and unfair to Dr.Okafor, who recently entered a new phase of his personal life after many years of being single.
“We believe everyone deserves the right to live their life in peace,” the group said, adding that the The Man of God should be allowed to enjoy his marital life without unnecessary public attacks or allegations.

The group also noted that any issues surrounding the matter should be addressed through appropriate legal channels rather than social media debates.


“We urge the public to exercise caution and avoid spreading unverified claims or narratives that could damage reputations,” the statement continued.
Grace Nation members further appealed to Nigerians to disregard what they described as misleading stories circulating online and instead allow the judicial process to determine the truth.

“We remain committed to peace, respect for the law, and the protection of the integrity of our spiritual father,” the statement concluded.


They ask?

"To all your claims Doris Ogala how many people can come out and say he or her knows you in Grace Nation, No Body, the only time few people claims they saw you was when you organized a Kangaroo Fund Soliciting for member of Nollywood with challenges and at the end of the Day, the money that was released as support for those one with challenges we know what happened ? So what is your problem Doris Ogala Aka Miss Evidence."

Patterns: God Has Given Us a Platform to Confront Battles, Blackmail, and Negative Cycles — Dr. Chris Okafor

“Our battles are often determined by prayer even before they begin.”

Understanding the nature of the battles confronting one’s life and preparing for them through prayer is already a significant step toward victory.


According to the Generational Prophet of God and Senior Pastor of Grace Nation Global, Christopher Okafor, many battles are won in the spiritual realm long before they manifest physically.


Dr. Okafor made this assertion during the midweek Prophetic, Healing, Deliverance, and Solutions Service (PHDS) held at the international headquarters of Grace Nation Worldwide in Ojodu Berger, Lagos.
Understanding Life Patterns


Teaching on the theme “Patterns,” the cleric explained that patterns represent recurring traits or experiences that families or individuals are known for.

These patterns may be positive or negative and often shape the direction of people’s lives.
He noted that the first part of the teaching focused primarily on negative patterns, particularly those affecting families across generations.
“In many families,” he said, “there are identifiable patterns. In some, it may be premature death where members die at a particular age. In others, it may manifest as constant conflict, blackmail, lies, or destructive gossip. Over time, such patterns become normalized within the family structure.”

Breaking Negative Cycles
Despite the deep roots such patterns may develop, Dr. Okafor emphasized that they are not permanent.


According to the Generational Prophet, God has provided spiritual platforms through which individuals can break free from destructive cycles.

He stressed that anyone willing to follow divine instructions and remain committed to prayer can overcome even deeply entrenched negative patterns.
“No matter how deeply a negative pattern has affected a family,” he said, “God can bring deliverance to anyone who sincerely seeks Him and follows His instructions.”
Steps Toward Deliverance
Dr. Okafor outlined several principles for overcoming destructive patterns:

- Genuine Spiritual Commitment
-
Breaking negative cycles begins with genuine spiritual transformation. Being truly committed to faith and maintaining a consistent prayer life opens the door to divine intervention.

- Guarding Against Spiritual Opposition

He cautioned that speaking against genuine servants of God or opposing spiritual guidance can hinder deliverance, noting that resistance to spiritual help may prolong negative patterns.

- Commitment to God’s Kingdom

According to the Generational Prophet, God delivers individuals not only for personal freedom but also to serve His purpose. A consistent commitment to God’s work, he said, sustains lasting transformation.

- *Dedicated Service*

Serving God wholeheartedly with the gifts and resources He provides helps maintain deliverance and prevents a return to destructive patterns.

*Service Highlights*


The midweek Prophetic, Healing, Deliverance, and Solutions Service witnessed testimonies, healings, and moments of spiritual restoration. Many participants reported breakthroughs as prayers were offered for deliverance, the breaking of barriers, and the restoration of lost opportunities.


According to church officials, the service concluded with prayers for individuals seeking solutions to personal and family challenges.

The Act of God’s Mercy:
A Shortcut from Judgment — Dr. Chris Okafor

..... “God blesses whom He is pleased with, regardless of lies or blackmail.”

When God decides to lift a person, He does not require elections, endorsements, or human recommendations to validate His authority. He acts according to His sovereign will and divine pleasure.

This formed the foundation of the message delivered by the Generational Prophet of God and Senior Pastor of Grace Nation Global, Christian Okafor, during the Grace Nation Partnership Sunday Service held at the international headquarters of Grace Nation Worldwide in Ojodu Berger, Lagos, Nigeria.


The Act of Mercy
Preaching on the topic “The Act of Mercy,” Dr. Okafor described God’s mercy as the believer’s shortcut from judgment. According to him, when God extends mercy, He transforms weaknesses into strengths and elevates individuals beyond human expectations.
“What people fail to see in you, God sees,” he declared. “And when He chooses to bless you, no amount of falsehood can reverse it.”

The Apostle of Altars cautioned against judging others based on social media narratives or online accusations. While people may judge by public opinion, God judges according to His covenant and personal dealings with an individual. As a result, someone criticized publicly may still be divinely endorsed and blessed by God.

“When God wants to promote you,” he said, “He does not consult anyone. He responds to what speaks positively about you before Him.”

*How to Access Mercy*

Dr. Okafor outlined key steps to accessing divine mercy:
Total Repentance
Genuine repentance and a sincere relationship with Jesus Christ position a believer for mercy and restoration. Accepting Christ as Lord and Savior, he emphasized, opens the door to total recovery.

*Prayer*

Consistent prayer attracts divine favor. When God’s mercy rests upon a person, lies and blackmail lose their power. Regardless of public criticism, God’s verdict stands firm.
“When God declares, ‘This is My beloved child in whom I am pleased,’ no human submission can overturn it,” he stated.

*Service Highlights*

The Partnership Sunday Service concluded with a special prayer session for Grace Nation partners worldwide, followed by a fatherly blessing from Dr. Okafor.


The ministry also announced its annual flagship family liberation conference, “The 2026 Harvest of Babies,” scheduled to hold later in March 2026.

Further details will be communicated in subsequent bulletins.

Just in-Dr Chris Okafor Withdraws Earlier Apology

The Generational Prophet and Senior Pastor of Grace Nation Worldwide, Dr Chris Okafor, has withdrawn the public apology he recently issued in response to allegations made against him by a faded actress and certain social media influencers.

The allegations claimed, among other things, that he had promised marriage to an aggrieved woman. Dr Okafor has consistently described the claims as untrue.


Explaining his initial decision to apologise, the cleric said the move was made in an effort to calm tensions and shield his mentors and spiritual fathers, whom he said were being unfairly attacked on social media without verified facts. He also noted that conflicting advice from some associates influenced his earlier stance.

However, after reviewing the interpretation and implications of the apology, Dr Okafor stated that he concluded it was inappropriate to apologise for actions he insists he did not commit.

“If there was any apology, I withdraw it,” he said. “The allegations against me are false and amount to blackmail. It is wrong for me to apologise for what I did not do.”

He further expressed confidence that the truth has begun to emerge, adding that he would refrain from making further comments as the matter is now before the court.


“The court will determine who is lying and who is blackmailing,” he said.
April 16, 2026, has been fixed by the High Court of Nigeria for a final declaration on the matter.
