Resurrection Power and the price of divine knowledge as Acts of Restoration and Compassion Church holds impactful Sunday service

The atmosphere at Acts of Restoration and Compassion Church was electrifying and spiritually charged on Sunday as worshippers gathered for another life-transforming service in the church’s ongoing Month of Resurrection Power.

The service began on a high-octane note with an intense session of praise and worship led by the church choir, ushering the congregation into a deep atmosphere of reverence and thanksgiving. This was followed by fervent prayers led by Pastor Tony Iwuoma, as worshippers lifted their voices in passionate intercession.

The spiritual temperature of the gathering further heightened when the Lead Pastor mounted the altar for his usual worship session that drew the congregation into what many described as a heavenly realm of communion and divine encounter.

‎Anchoring his message on Philippians 3:4-10, the cleric preached extensively on Understanding the Resurrection Power, emphasising that true freedom and greatness are products of divine knowledge and revelation.

‎“Understanding makes you outstanding. Your freedom is a product of knowledge,” he declared, stressing that there are different dimensions of knowledge but that the greatest is the knowledge of Christ. According to him, ignorance remains one of the greatest destroyers of destinies, urging believers to seek truth diligently because “the more you know Jesus, the freer you become.”

The pastor drew several lessons from scripture, citing how the children of Israel suffered exile because they disobeyed God’s instruction concerning the Sabbath rest for the land. He noted that many believers desire higher dimensions in life without paying the required spiritual price.

‎‎“There are levels you cannot access until you are ready,” he stated, warning Christians against spiritual laziness and dependence on shortcuts.

‎‎Referencing the story of Daniel in Babylon, the preacher highlighted the importance of searching the Scriptures rather than seeking ungodly alternatives. “Daniel did not go to juju priests; he went to the manual of life, the Word of God,” he said, adding that every solution to human troubles is embedded in the Scriptures.

‎

He challenged believers to stop praying emotionally without revelation, stressing that God responds to His Word. “Search it out. Bring God His Word and ask Him to defend it because He watches over His Word to fulfill it,” he charged.

The message also addressed contemporary societal decay, materialism, fake lifestyles, and the growing trend of seeking miracles without seeking the Miracle Worker. He lamented that many now go to church for social relevance rather than genuine hunger for God.

‎“We are in a generation that wants miracles without knowing the Miracle Worker,” he warned, cautioning believers against idolising men, celebrities, and even church denominations above Christ.

Calling for deeper intimacy with God, the pastor urged Christians to strengthen their spiritual lives through prayer and waiting upon the Lord. “Those that know their God shall be strong,” he emphasised, warning that a “terrible wind” is coming upon the earth but declaring that believers rooted in God would overcome.

‎‎In a practical demonstration of the church’s commitment to compassion beyond preaching, it was also announced that 300 bags of rice would be distributed to the needy next Sunday as part of the church’s outreach to vulnerable members of society.

A baby boy, Chimeremeze Chimaobi Orumba, was also dedicated during the service in  a rousing mood. The child was born after over ten years of giving birth to two daughters.

The service ended with renewed spiritual awakening among worshippers, many leaving with a fresh hunger to know God more deeply and walk in the reality of His resurrection power.
