IT ENDED IN PRAISE - THANKSGIVING SERVICE

Sunday 25 January 2026 at Streams of Joy Abuja is day 21, the last day of the January fast, framed as a thanksgiving service under one cry: it ended in praise. The past twenty days were about the people; this day is about him. Worship opens with hosanna, "you alone are worthy," "even before I cry he was moving behind the scenes," and the house song "There's a miracle with your name on it." The altar prayer is last-day thirst: on the last day of the feast Jesus said if anyone is thirsty, let him come and drink; Moses came down with tablets of testimony written by the finger of God. The shout of the day is "It ended in praise" and "I am in my testimony." El Roi, the God who sees, is named throughout. The house is packed; people stand in overflow and under the sun. The 21-day prayer closes again at 5:30 p.m.

Service 1 reads Acts 16:16-30, Paul and Silas in the inner prison. God's heartbeat this year is not only to give thanks but to live thanks. Thanksgiving tied to an event is one thing; living thanks is who you are in Christ. Thanksgiving stoppers include darkness of mind, the prison mood of other people, and the mouth. The devil cannot stop you; he uses you to stop you, because life and death are in the power of the tongue. Paul and Silas praised while the door was still locked. All the doors opened, but they still had to walk from door to door. God is not a magician. Do not curse the third door while he is still moving you through.

Service 2 reads Luke 17:11-19, the ten lepers. Jesus asked, "Where are the nine?" Thanksgiving is an act of faith: the one who returned had no priest's certificate yet. David is the psalmist God still called a man after his own heart. Seven signs of becoming thankless run through the hour: entitlement, anxiety over joy, thanking him for what he does more than for who he is, no revelation behind the thanks, comparison, leaving him out of the evidence, and treating testimony as a private matter. Thanksgivers are never the majority.

Service 3 returns to Acts 16. God inhabits the praises of his people (Psalm 22:3). The prison was too small for that presence, so the foundation shook. Oriental prison chains were cast into the foundation; praise breaks the foundation that still holds you after 21 days of prayer.

Service 4 reads Romans 1:20-22. The invisible things of God are clearly seen in the things that are made. When they knew God they glorified him not as God, neither were thankful. From testimonies, Rahab, the woman with the alabaster, the thief on the cross, Ruth, and the Syrophoenician woman, you already know who he is. The fall of Lucifer is treated as an arrogation of the thanks due to God. The close is Psalm 91 and the same cry: it has ended in praise. See you at 5:30 p.m.

Theme and timing

• Theme of the four Sunday services: It ended in praise / Thanksgiving. Last day (day 21) of the January fast.
• Streams of Joy Abuja, four services on one stream. House maxed out; overflow standing, including under the sun. Pastor apologised and asked them to bear with the house. He said they will not still be in that squeeze by March.
• 2026 call and response: nothing goes wrong around me; enemies scatter before they gather; even before I ask, he answers; no detail escapes his watchful eyes; the God who sees (El Roi); my case is different.
• Timed words: in less than 24 hours after the fast, surprise; before January becomes February / before Saturday the world will see; by the testimony coming tomorrow morning; you will not count 21 days after this fast before a mighty shift; before the beginning of March, evidence that sounds like a lie; someone will sing "you made a way" before January is over.
• Weekday shouts (wording varies by service): Monday, the Lord has done great things / manifestations, answers, stoppers of answers, instant miracles, divine earthquake; Tuesday, order of Daniel, answers to days of waiting, princes of Persia, or evidence of congratulations in your hands; Wednesday, spirit of a liar and Jezebel, or no more failure at the edge of breakthrough; Thursday, divinely positioned, not Ephraim, or El Roi turns what the enemy meant for evil; Friday, order of Saul, what you are looking for is already found, or a short work in righteousness that begins with laughter and ends in praise; Saturday, already blessed, cannot be cursed, cannot be reversed, or El Roi multiplies and glorifies you.
• They return today at 5:30 p.m. to close the 21-day prayer. Evening: two minutes to pray every dream and vision into reality.

Offering

• Wave offering of tithe, offering and partnership in every service, thanksgiving seed before the God who sees.
• Devourer rebuked; windows of heaven opened.

Conferences / midweek

• This week on the altar: five days of rain of answers, "And the Lord said yes." Come with two lists: testimonies written as if they have already happened, and roadblocks to those testimonies.
• 28 days of wonder in February. Each day on the altar has a unique prayer direction and 10 declarations, dropped on Pastor Jerry's prayer WhatsApp channel. Scan the QR code, or search "Pastor Jerry" in WhatsApp.
• Thursday Word and Fire, 6:00 p.m.: "Wisdom for a glorious year" (fourth service: a prophetic diagnostic of the mind). Midweek service returns after the fast.
• Discipleship and membership class: tomorrow (Monday), church premises, 6:00 p.m.
• NSPPD Nigeria prayer conference: Friday 6 February, Tafawa Balewa Square, Lagos. Doors open; everybody come.
• Thanksgiving and dedication of babies (later services add businesses, properties and assets): Sunday 15 February 2026.
• Church building project still open; account details on screen.
• Devotional books, MP3s and ministry materials at the emporium; partnership forms at the inquiry desk.

Testimonies to send

• Pick up testimony forms at the inquiry desk, fill and submit so you can be scheduled to testify next Sunday.

First-timers / visitors

• First-timers at Streams of Joy Abuja (auditorium and overflow): fill the usher form and hand it to an usher before leaving, so the church can reach you and keep you in prayer.
• Those making the house their church are prayed over: prophetic DNA of the ministry, new season, nothing missing and nothing broken.
• Fourth service: visitors from outside Nigeria stood and were prayed over; carry your evidence.

Social / sharing

• Pastor Jerry's prayer WhatsApp channel (QR on screen) for daily declarations, especially the 10-a-day for 28 days of wonder.
• One testifier begged the house to keep sharing the prayer link; her life is a product of a link she first rejected.

Testimonies played / recapped

• Sandrine Habimana (captions: Sandrin Habimana), from Congo, living in Dubai. Joined NSPPD in 2024. Applied about 30 jobs a day from January (about 3,600 applications) until LinkedIn blocked her. May 2025 word: "Take your seat to the higher ground." After the media fast, interview with an international company; offer seven times her previous salary.
• Tony Luke, Spain. Arrived that morning. Communion rubbed on a noisy, painful jaw that doctors wanted to fix for 600-plus euros (he counted it as over a million naira); the sound and pain left. January 2023 fast, then February 6-to-1 prayers: neck and spinal pain, "muzzle of the neck" getting weaker; a word of knowledge reversed it on the second day; instant healing. Came in person because "don't keep your testimony."
• K. (Jbe Kiwi in the welcome; from Belgium, earlier years in Spain). Left Nigeria in 2008; documents delayed 17 years across countries. Joined NSPPD 2021. September 2025 her lawyer said the process was finished; documents in November. Would not testify by video.
• Princess. Rededicated October 2023; dreamed Pastor Jerry and El Roi. Wrote dated requests for 2024: name on the law-school list (now a lawyer); meet her husband 5 March 2024, the exact date she wrote; married 15 July 2025. Husband in the UK. Relocation visa: 20 November 2025, 11th-hour word on immigration protocols; approval 21 November, delivered 11:00 a.m. Travelling the next day.
• Sister Chinugo. Husband owed an eight-digit consultancy fee for about 8-10 years; the partner was spoiling his name. Last Sunday of November 2025 she climbed the Abuja altar after last service. The following Thursday the man paid in full. Sister-in-law also restored.
• First-time visitor, Nasarawa axis. After the January "O" prayer, Lexus brake failed, car went under a trailer. No life lost, no broken bone, only scratches.
• Greg. Seven-year growth in the mouth; fear of cancer after surgery. Did not believe testimonies. After a word about "someone who doesn't believe, like Thomas," it disappeared within two weeks. His boss (described as behind "Made in Nigeria") asked if he had been operated on.
• Rejoice Briggs. Family saved from a 2024 fire disaster. Open wound from November 2021; biopsy "granulating tissue"; about 10 million naira spent; lost her job. Joined July 2022. September 2025 mercy prayer; woke 28 September with the wound closed. Had been cleaning it with communion when she could no longer buy disinfectant.
• A mother on behalf of her 10-year-old son. In the first week of the 21-day fast (week of early answers) he wrote "God I want the embassy to release my passport." The passport was actually with the father after a 10-year public custody battle. Two days later the father offered every document. The boy asked if she had forgiven; bitterness broke. "God gave me 10 years in one day." Charge: give unanswered requests to your children to pray.
• Julius (immigration, Europe). Six-plus years of edge-of-breakthrough delay (Ukraine PR blocked, Sweden work permit, U.S. authorisation cancelled three days before a flight). Joined via a WhatsApp prayer group. Ankle shattered in Sweden; doctors said one year without walking; communion; walking in a month. Hospital bill expected at 20,000-30,000; one bill about 400 euros was cancelled, another about 40 euros. 6 July 2025 seven long-standing immigration challenges were prayed; 17 July the residence document photo arrived.
• Amarachi. Former NYSC "copper" at a firm, now full staff three weeks after POP. Mother slipped in the bathroom on 1 January 2026, hit her head, thought she had died; scan later normal. Family burial pattern of the last two to three years (three deaths in two months in 2024) did not take her; 2025 had no loss.
• A young woman (unnamed). Spirit-husband dreams from childhood; isolated, hated her father. Pastor appeared in a dream and warned the spirit. From 2025 she sleeps in peace. 3.5 cm ovarian (and kidney) findings while on NYSC; healed while lying down at the Lagos conference; later scan clean bill of health.
• Recap from Friday on the altar: a medical doctor dreamed a sister was healed, stopped chemo, retested, no cancer.

Words of knowledge / healing declarations

• Angels taking coverings off people so others can see them rightly and stop obstructing blessing.
• Flashes of people's testimonies during the first-service thanks song; in less than 24 hours, surprise.
• Delay, demonic quietness and unusual silence in careers: run to the altar or lay hands on the screen.
• "I break out" of limitation and confinement; best days just begun; a major sign today that what you seek can be found.
• 2026 of favour, prayer, settlement, sound, access, multiplication, capacity, early joy, promotion, horizon, creativity, sound mind, open heaven, angelic assistance, divine direction, kairos, more grace.
• Command the spirit of sickness, barrenness and delay: "Let them go." I am that I am.
• Before March, evidence that sounds like a lie, the finger and hand of God.
• By thanksgiving, every foundation that said you will not be what God ordained, broken.
• Fourth-service close: pray forgotten dreams and visions into reality this evening.

1. Day 21 is about him. The cry is not that you prayed; it is that it ended in praise.
2. Do not only give thanks. Live thanks. Event-based thanksgiving waits for the outside; living thanks is who you are in Christ, a living sacrifice.
3. After 21 days the danger is your mouth. The devil cannot stop you; he needs you to say "what kind of nonsense is this" so he can use your tongue.
4. You can be light and still sit in darkness if the word is not enlightening your mind. Stay in the word through the 28 days of wonder; each day will have its own assignment.
5. Paul and Silas praised in the dark. The other prisoners only heard. Your praise can loose people who never prayed with you.
6. All the doors were open, but they still walked door to door. God is not a magician. Do not rage at an intermediate door while he is fixing minds, systems and hidden pieces.
7. Thanksgiving is faith. The returning leper had no priest's stamp yet. The size of your thanks is the size of your faith in what you prayed these 21 days.
8. Thanklessness looks like entitlement, anxiety, thanking the gift more than the Giver, no revelation, comparison, hiding God when the evidence comes, and staying private after he has been public with your pain.
9. Praise is a dwelling. When God inhabits praise in a place too small for him, foundations shake and chains that were cast into the building come out.
10. From the things that are made you already know who he is. Glorify him as God. Lucifer's story is treated as stolen thanksgiving; God is still jealous for his glory.
