DIVINE SETTLEMENT SERVICE

DIVINE SETTLEMENT SERVICE || SUNDAY SERVICE || 30TH MARCH 2025

After you have suffered a while, the God of all grace has settled you: refuse the pigs' table and the serpent's conversation, stay in your place as king and prophet, and shout "settled by fire", because what He has settled no one can unsettle.

Summary

The last Sunday of March 2025, and the last Sunday of the first quarter, was the "Divine Settlement Service", held on the weekend of NSPPD's fifth anniversary. The day's anchor verse was 1 Peter 5:10: "after you have suffered a while, the God of all grace ... make you perfect, establish, strengthen, settle you." Each service opened with worship, a prophetic "speak into your week" declaration (Monday to Saturday) and long fire prayers. The cry of the day was "Settled by fire", which in later services became "Completely settled" and "Divinely settled". Pastor Jerry also pointed to a miracle he called "before April": things settled within the 48 hours before the month turned.

Pastor Jerry preached a different short message in each of the four services. First service (2 Kings 8:1-6): the Shunammite woman had two restorations, her son's life and then her land and fruit. "There are things that will never be restored until you are restored": God restores your soul, faith and prayer fire before He restores things. The king and Elisha stayed through the seven-year famine; stand in authority as king and prophet and do not leave. Her field kept bearing fruit while she was away, the king could reproduce fruit that had long rotted, and when people speak of God's works the evidence walks in. Second service (Luke 15:11-32): the prodigal son. Nobody gave him the pigs' food, and that refusal saved his destiny. Beware of "drainers" and count the givers and takers in your life. The father gave robe, ring and shoes (identity, authority, movement) before food. Expect an "elder brother" voice at your celebration, and do not be too young to keep what you are given or too old to believe.

Third service (Revelation 12:1-6 with Genesis 3:1-7): the same serpent met two women. Eve talked with it; the woman in Revelation did not answer the dragon. What you allow in subtlety comes back as aggression. Stay focused on what is coming out of you, not on the tree. In Genesis a man stood there and did nothing; in Revelation there was no man, so God carried the child up Himself and took the glory: "the absence of men is not the absence of God." Fourth service (Judges 16:22-31): seven destiny prayers from Samson's end. May my life never entertain my enemies. May I not lose vision, because strength goes first and vision follows. May help never come late. May visitation not be "only this once". I will not end the way they ended. May I not do my greatest work without being celebrated. May I never forget my purpose.

Words of knowledge ran through every service: a six-year-old who stopped talking at five, two sisters with the same spirit-husband pattern, a marriage broken before the wife could join her husband, a deadline due to expire within hours, eye cancer, three and a half years of bleeding, a spinal fluid leak, bone cancer, and children with autism, slow development or Down syndrome. Testimonies came from the UK, Dubai, Los Angeles, Houston and Abuja. Two brothers' prostate cancer turned out benign and no surgery was needed. A breast cancer diagnosis was reversed. Lung, thyroid and heart findings in Los Angeles cleared. A replacement Certificate of Sponsorship led to a UK visa. A woman married in 2025 as declared at the crossover. A $178,000 payment to fraudsters was reversed, and a kidnapped colleague was released.

The fourth service closed with a thanksgiving by the Director General of the NCAA, a 44-year pilot confirmed in office. Assets were dedicated, and 61 children from 59 families were dedicated by name. Each family received Pastor Jerry's book Supernatural Parenting. Every service ended with Psalm 91:1-2 and the charge to tell 14 people "completely settled" or "divinely settled".

Testimonies to send

  • Pick up testimony forms at the inquiry desk and submit them before the next service so you can be scheduled to testify.

First timers and new members

  • Each service welcomed first timers to Streams of Joy Abuja and those making it their church. They were asked to fill in the usher's form and hand it in, and were prayed over: "whatever runs in the prophetic DNA of our ministry, let the same run in your life." In the fourth service, worshippers who had travelled from abroad were also prayed for.

Offering

  • In each service, offerings, tithes and partnership were raised as a wave offering while worshippers named a heart desire "as March becomes April".

Thanksgiving, asset and child dedication (fourth service)

  • Thanksgiving: the Director General of the NCAA flew for 44 years with no incident or crash and retired from flying two years ago. He was stuck for the last ten years of his flying until a cousin brought him to Streams of Joy. He was appointed director, then acting Director General for over a year. Pastor Jerry told him "as far as I am on this altar, it is done", and he was confirmed. The congregation prayed over him and his family.
  • Asset dedication: houses, shops, cars and businesses were dedicated: "this is the least you will ever be."
  • Child dedication: 61 children of 59 families were dedicated by name. The fathers carried the babies. The prayer covered foundations (ancestral patterns, bloodline diseases), seven mantles (overtaker, speed, generational champion, ability, fear of the Lord, higher grace, open doors), and protection from autism, Down syndrome, organ failure and premature death. Parents vowed to raise the children in the fear of the Lord. Each family received Supernatural Parenting.

Testimonies played / recapped

  • Chika Franko (UK, flew in for the anniversary): wanted global visibility from 2019. A US offer failed after professional exams in the Philippines and Brazil. A Canada offer stalled for two years and the employer died. A UK offer came in May 2024, but medicals twice showed "an issue". He kept the midyear fast with anointing oil, and after the 25 July declaration ("what they saw before they will not see again") the result came clear. His visa was refused over the English test and his CoS declared invalid. He sowed a seed, then held to the 27 August words about immigration mistakes being overturned. His consultant secured a replacement CoS, which he was told is never issued twice. The visa came three days later and he left for the UK on 29 September. He passed his UK professional exam in January and is now a mental health practitioner.
  • Sister, Abuja: her mother joined NSPPD for one week of Furnace of Answers and stayed. Her younger sister prayed over a lifeless child at a school, and the child came back to life. She is a fashion designer and has had international orders since the midyear fast. In the first three months of 2025 she has saved twice what she saved in all of 2024.
  • Sister from Dubai: has a 20-year-old son and was believing for a husband, but suitors kept proposing and withdrawing. She printed a picture of her wedding gown as instructed. At the crossover service Pastor Jerry said she would marry in 2025. An old friend reconnected, she had her court wedding on 6 February and her traditional marriage on the 13th, "a man of God".
  • Kaima (Abuja): her son needed 5.5 on his exam and scored 7.0. Driving home from church, she felt prompted to lower her window slightly. A Hilux ran the light and hit her, the car spun and all the doors jammed. She was pulled out through that gap. CT, chest X-ray and MRI showed nothing broken.
  • K. Amber (youth corper, Abuja): promised a job for almost two years. On Friday Pastor Jerry said those promising and failing would call. A prominent person called that day, and she was appointed within an hour without the usual process.
  • Sister, family history of stroke (six deaths in her family): found a breast lump, and the biopsy was read as invasive carcinoma. She joined NSPPD after people in the oncology unit, and a doctor, told her about it. At a communion service Sunday she received words on stroke in the family, a mother's cancer, her husband's memory loss and a planned breast surgery. Repeat tests came back negative, and she did not have the surgery.
  • Nurse practitioner from Los Angeles: joined in 2021 after asking God to close her second home's escrow on exactly 26 February, which happened. In January a CT scan after flu showed a lung nodule growing from 4 mm to 9 by 27 mm, thyroid nodules, pericardial effusion and a brain finding. She claimed the word "pleural effusion reversed" as her own. The pulmonologist found only a scar, the heart was perfect despite 30 years of hypertension, and the thyroid was unchanged from a benign biopsy ten years ago.
  • Consultant gynaecologist from the US (healed of metastatic breast cancer on this altar three years ago): fraudsters intercepted her sister's oil-supply emails and diverted $178,000. During the week of "the Lord reversed it", JP Morgan Chase could not reconcile the account name and number, held the money and reversed it. Separately, two uncles (PSA 26.4 rising to 35, and 18.6) were booked for prostatectomy and orchiectomy. On 4 March, during Furnace of Answers, Pastor Jerry said "two brothers with prostate cancer, reversed". She insisted on biopsies, both were benign, and a year later neither has a catheter or needed surgery.
  • Martha Abra (Abuja, her birthday): survived a pattern of accidents (her sister's car written off; her own car run off a cliff by a police bus; her mother's fractured legs), and no hospital bill was paid from the family's pocket. A word ended days of sleeplessness. She got a US visa after two earlier refusals, despite forgetting her old passports.
  • Colleague kidnapped 16 March: she emailed the fifth-anniversary address. On the Wednesday mercy prayers Pastor Jerry said kidnapped loved ones would be released. The captors stopped calling him out, and he came home without a scar.
  • Dr. Fumi (psychiatric nurse practitioner, Houston): a patient's medication change was followed by kidney and liver failure, dialysis and a tracheostomy, and the state was to be notified. She fasted 45 days and held Jeremiah 49:38. The patient stood up, came off dialysis and the trach, and went home. Her name was never reported and her licence was saved.

Words of knowledge / healing declarations

  • A six-year-old who talked until five, then stopped: reversed.
  • "Many proposals but no marriage"; attracting the wrong people in business, career and relationship; scattered finances: broken.

  • A wrong decision between Monday and Tuesday averted; a fire outbreak cancelled.
  • Two sisters with the same spirit-husband pattern; a young wife whose marriage broke before she could join her husband in his city.
  • A blood sacrifice made over a generation; a seed eaten before it germinates; a familiar spirit acting as you and blocking people from seeing the real you; a circle drawn on an altar to keep you going round.
  • Marriage within the next seven weeks; a door restoring seven years in the wilderness.
  • Families with an early start whose fortunes fall in their late 30s and 40s (recapped from 27 August).
  • Children with autism, slow development and Down syndrome.
  • Fourth service: cancer of the eye; three and a half years of bleeding; a spinal fluid leak; bone cancer.

Important message

  1. Divine settlement is already finished in Christ. After you have suffered a while, the God of all grace settles you, and no libation, ordinance or spoken word can unsettle what He has settled.
  2. God restores you before He restores things. The devil did not only steal things; he stole your faith, devotion and prayer fire. If things come back while you stay empty, you become emptier.
  3. Stay in your place as king and prophet. The king and Elisha stayed through the famine and it did not touch them. Your field keeps bearing fruit in a famine, and the King can reproduce what has rotted and gone.
  4. Speak of what God has done, not what He has not done. The atmosphere you create is what you attract; while Gehazi told of Elisha's works, the evidence walked in.
  5. Refuse the pigs' food. Being refused it can be mercy, because eating it makes you what you eat and blocks your father's recognition.
  6. Your associations show your readiness for settlement. Look for drainers, and count the givers and the takers in your life.
  7. Identity comes before provision. The Father gives robe, ring and shoes (identity, authority, movement) before food, so that you do not mismanage what He is about to release.
  8. Expect an elder brother's voice on the day of your celebration. You do not answer him; the Father does.
  9. Do not be too young to keep what you are given, or too old and familiar to believe God still opens blind eyes. Keep your mind renewed and your consecration fresh.
  10. Do not hold a conversation with the serpent. What you tolerate in subtlety returns as aggression, so stop calling a creeping problem "normal".
  11. Focus on what God is bringing out of you, not on the distraction or the report.
  12. When men are absent, God takes the glory. The absence of men is not the absence of God.
  13. Strength goes before vision. When you lose spiritual strength, you are close to losing your vision.
  14. God shows mercy before you ask: Samson's hair was already growing. A mistake does not mean you must end like others who had the same challenge.
  15. God honours the purpose inside you. When you remember your purpose, some relationships and habits must die.

What he asks of us

Today / this season

  • Pray daily the seven destiny prayers from Samson: my life will not entertain my enemies; I will not lose my vision; my help will not come late; my visitation will not be only once; I will not end the way they ended; I will not labour without being celebrated; I will not forget my purpose.
  • Pray "Father, restore me" and "My father, reveal my identity to me; help me understand the authority of the ring."
  • Get up from the pigs' table: drop the cutlery, leave what drains you, and ask a new connection "who sent you?"
  • Stop every conversation with negativity; reject whatever you have accepted in subtlety ("uprooted by fire").
  • Speak God's works and testimonies over your situation, and stand in authority declaring His word.
  • Bring your offerings, tithes and partnership as a wave offering and name your heart desire before God.
  • Pray over the week with the day's declarations, and shout "settled by fire".
  • Tell 14 people "completely settled" or "divinely settled" on your way out.
  • First timers and new members: fill in the usher's form and hand it in.
