RESURRECTION SERVICE]

Easter Sunday 2026 at Streams of Joy Abuja, four services under the cry that Jesus is risen. Pastor Jerry opened with resurrection worship ("because you live, I live"; "we dance on an empty grave") and a weekday prophetic shout: stones rolled away on Monday, El Roi sent help on Tuesday, the story changed on Wednesday, a rise on Thursday, the word came to pass on Friday, first consideration and harvest on Saturday. He sent people to the altar, the overflow screen, or their devices: dead things coming back to life, the stone rolled away, the veil torn, "I am alive in him."

Service 1 read John 20:1-18 (Mary Magdalene at the tomb). Mary came while it was still dark and ran with a false report: they have taken the Lord. Darkness produces outdated revelation; a generation that runs with it ends at the sepulchre. Stay when you cannot see him. View every report from the word, not from the devil's lie. After Jesus called her Mary, he sent her back to reverse what her mouth had already said. "Don't touch me, but go and say." Declare it before you feel it.

Service 2 read Matthew 28:1-10. Nothing was wrong with the chapter; something was wrong with people who came to see a sepulchre instead of a risen Jesus. You live between what has happened and what he said will happen. The angel rolled the stone and shone, but the angel is not Jesus. Atmosphere is not encounter. Seek the resurrected Jesus, not the crucified, religious, helpless one. "He is risen as he said." He will not meet you in the grave of depression; go to Galilee, the place of faith.

Service 3 was a warfare assignment against the grave. Texts: 1 Corinthians 15:4, Ephesians 4:9-11, Acts 2:24, Matthew 27:52 and 27:60, Revelation 1:18. The grave Jesus was put in was Joseph of Arimathea's, not his own. Cancer, delay, addiction, late marriage, miscarriage: "It is not my own." Leave the grave clothes (Lazarus still looked bound). Other saints rose with him: drag your house out. The angel did not roll the stone so Jesus could rise; Jesus had already risen. He holds the keys of hell and of death.

Service 4 read Luke 24:13-32 (the two on the Emmaus road). If resurrection power is real, why is it not showing? Those men were spectators: they reported what women and other disciples had seen, but they never went. Jesus called them fools and slow of heart. Prophecy is ahead of a slow heart. The day's title in this service: the rise of a burning heart. Constrain him: abide with us. When he broke bread their eyes opened. Honour God in sacred moments; put the phone down.

Theme and timing

• Theme: Resurrection service. Easter Sunday, first Sunday of April, first Sunday of the second quarter of 2026.
• Day's cry, spoken in the pastor's words: "Jesus is alive" / "He is risen" / "I am alive in him."
• This week on NSPPD: fullness of answers, five days on the 7 a.m. fire altar. He said seven major / strategic prayers tomorrow, including speaking to the four corners of the earth and redeeming time and seasons. Named dimensions: mountain-shifting, outpouring of El Roi, manifestation of new things, extinction of stubborn challenges, global visibility, access and Ephphatha, breaking of witchcraft and marine attacks, all-round turnaround.
• Monday (Easter Monday) is not a prayer holiday. "Heaven never goes on holiday"; the adversary does not observe Easter Monday.
• Skip breakfast Monday, 6:00 a.m. to 1:00 p.m. He kept saying that is not a fast, just skipping breakfast; in one service he also said they are fasting Monday through Friday. Come either way.
• Next Sunday, all four services: Rehoboth. "The Lord has made room for me."
• Thursday 6:00 p.m.: Word and Fire, series I am anointed for this / season of exploits.
• Monday 6:00 p.m.: discipleship and membership class at the church premises.
• Monday 11:00 a.m., 6 April: general workers meeting after NSPPD. "Not optionally compulsory"; all workers and intending workers.
• Tuesday 6:00 p.m.: maturity class, raising godly seeds (how to raise godly children); opened this week even if you have never attended.
• Saturday 18 April, 2:00 p.m., Millennium Park: Gems and Jewels (singles 39 and below), hangout / picnic, games and chills.

Offering and church project

• Offerings, tithes and partnership given standing as a wave offering. Prayer: devourer rebuked, windows of heaven opened, no room enough to contain.
• Church building project still ongoing; account details on screen.
• Devotional books and MP3s at the emporium. Partnership forms at the inquiry desk outside the auditorium.

Testimonies to send

• Pick up testimony forms from the inquiry desk, fill and submit before the next service so you can be scheduled to testify next Sunday.
• First-timers: fill the usher's form and hand it to an usher or drop it at the inquiry desk, so the church can reach you and keep you in prayer.

Social / sharing

• Prayer requests: praywithpastorjerry@streamsofjoy.org (spoken as "pray with Pastor Jerry at streamsofjoy.org").
• Stubborn challenges and terminal diseases: terminaldiseases@streamsofjoy.org.

Communion

• First service: whatever you have believed but have not felt. Because Mary declared what she had not touched, and Jesus later appeared with the evidence: receive the evidence of what you did not feel.
• Second service: the quickening power of the blood. Everything dead, rise. Something in less than 48 hours will show that what the devil tried to kill has come alive, loud enough that people will hear.
• Third service: the power of the grave is broken.
• Fourth service: from the crown of the head to the sole of the feet, whatever is not of God, flushed out.

Testimonies played / recapped

• Faith Oina (Spain) - auntie with severe womb pain; they prayed "Oh Lord, show me mercy," then put NSPPD on at 7 a.m. After days of listening it felt like an operation in the womb; two days later the doctor said she was well, she went home, returned to market, still pain-free. Separate matter: lost documents, police threw the paper, threatened court and prison or a heavy fine; Papa said what you fear will not happen and that the court case is reversed. Officers later wrote asking to cancel the case. Document later renewed for 10 years; two daughters obtained nationality.
• Hassan Jonathan (choir) - former Muslim. Tuesday 31 March, about 10:30 p.m., fought a leading to pray, then remembered Papa's word that the devil cannot ask you to do something good. Within about two minutes of speaking in tongues, part of the house collapsed on the bed he had just left; blocks hit his waist as he ran out. He asked what if he had stayed asleep.
• Nadine (Denmark / Copenhagen, Cameroon origin) - joined NSPPD for the 6 January fast last year after a friend in Oxford sent the link. An immigration officer in Nigeria asked "are you one of us?" and turned out to be an NSPPDian. A Denmark expat friend paid for the Atlanta conference two days after Papa said someone would give you the thing you are saving for; she sowed a seed in a friend Michael's name, and Michael (sacked from a job) received a better Copenhagen role with accommodation and higher pay. Right hip pain of more than 10 years (London Marathon runner) lifted while she watched the Lagos conference on her phone and claimed a word about managed pain; the pain had not returned.
• Winnie (Norway) - five years on NSPPD, first time in the house. Delivered from multiple fire outbreaks and accidents. A much older business partner's daughter had cancer; chemo was not working; she took it to the fire altar; four months later the man said doctors were seeing something they had never seen: cancer cells gone. Midnight mercy prayers: Papa said "your destiny helper is almost dead"; the next day the wife called with pictures of a man at the point of death; he was healed. Son, a maths high-flyer, suddenly hated maths and teachers; she keyed into a testimony of a 13-year-old who wanted to burn a school; academics turned.
• Florence Enomia - friend denied a US visa after paying pastors in Abuja; joined NSPPD, prayed himself, about a month later received a Canada visa. Grandma, 78: chest complaints, then declared passed on a Wednesday; family prayed "Oh Lord, show me mercy" over an hour and she was restored. Hospital: cardiomegaly (caption: cardio maggali / cardali), fluid in the lungs, three tanks of oxygen a day; a neighbour on heavier oxygen died. Mama fed her communion. Thursday Word and Fire ("the Lord is my helper") and Sunday words ("good news will come out of it" / "God has done it") claimed; on a Wednesday mercy prayer Papa said mercy has gone ahead of what you are going for today. Doctor shocked at recovery in about five days; later tests: no fluid, cardiomegaly gone.
• Laddy - immediate elder sister in labour almost a week; Laddy took her picture to the overflow screen; after Sunday to Tuesday she improved; Thursday/Friday a baby boy. Auntie (the reason Laddy is in Abuja) and two children hit by a car near Jabi after Laddy stretched a 6-to-3 fast to 6-to-6 and prayed the "O earth" prayer with her hand on the ground: nothing missing, nothing broken, not even in hospital.
• Jennifer (UK, testified after coming from Kaduna) - friend Tony in Scotland, 10 June message: stage 4 high-grade B-cell lymphoma; she vowed that if God healed him she would testify in Abuja. Family also preserved when food sat on gas 24 hours. December: cancer-free; prostate cancer found mid-process also gone. Her own UK studies: dissertation failed twice (second fail 3 April 2024); two days later her company emailed a five-year certificate of sponsorship; visa approved 12 April while she was on NSPPD; school still said return home; appeal moved her from repeat to refer/defer; third dissertation passed; master's last year.
• Lisa (Mozambique) - joined NSPPD in 2022 under family pressure to marry; God spent years healing pride, bitterness, anger, and a house of broken marriages. 2023 a year of healing; walked in righteousness. 2024 she came to Abuja for two weeks of prayer, stayed after NSPPD to clean (she likened it to Ruth in the field), joined a temple-keepers workers meeting, heard John Paul (JP) pray, exchanged numbers (he did not save hers when he heard Mozambique). 25 December 2024, her worship day after a missed "pick a date," God brought JP to remembrance; she found him. Papa's 31 December word: this year an evidence that God hears. Within a week she saved his number as God had me. She had written 30 things she wanted in a man and wanted to settle before 30; she said God had her.

1. Resurrection is a person, not a date. Easter is you and I alive in Christ. The same power that raised Jesus is in you. With or without Easter you are not ordinary.
2. Do not judge the story by Saturday. Silence, gossip, "he healed others, why not himself," friends walking away: it is a countdown. The author is not finished.
3. Mary came in the dark and ran with a lie. If you walk in darkness you feed your generation outdated revelation, and they run to an empty tomb. Let there be light. The greatest attack is not money; it is a darkened heart.
4. Stay when you cannot see him. Others ran. Mary stood. Before she saw Jesus she saw the stone rolled away. Stay.
5. Every day is a fight between the devil's lie and the word. They knew not the scripture, so they bought "they stole the body." Romans 8:28 is still true even when the lie says you will die by Thursday.
6. Go back and reverse what your mouth already said. Resurrection is power, and life and death are in the tongue. Wherever you declared cancer, fear, a failed business, go and say he is alive. Nobody else will correct it for you.
7. "Don't touch me, but go and say." Kingdom order is declare it before you feel it. Thomas insisted on touching and is remembered for little. Mary went with a word she had not felt, and that evening Jesus appeared.
8. Do not look for Jesus in what has happened. Find him in what he said he will do. Your story does not stop where people put a full stop.
9. The angel is not Jesus. Atmosphere is not encounter. A shining meeting, three hours of prayer, Christianese, 30 years born again, quoting Genesis 3: if you cannot point to Jesus, you settled for the process. Seek the risen, dunamis Jesus, not a crucified, religious, helpless one.
10. "He is risen as he said." Family settled, door open, no contention after the holiday, the same battle not fought again: as he said. He will not meet you in depression, prayerlessness or anger. Go to Galilee.
11. The grave is not your own. Jesus was buried in Joseph's tomb. Refuse cancer, delay, addiction, the family pattern. Even if you still feel the pain and the drugs are on the table, keep saying it until you walk away.
12. Leave the grave clothes. Lazarus was awake and still bound. Do not look like the place God already brought you out of.
13. When you come out, drag the house. Other saints rose after him. "Everybody, come out."
14. The stone was evidence, not the condition of rising. For Lazarus the stone had to move first. For Jesus the stone moved so people could see he was already out. Stones of "everybody in this office / family / city stays sick" scatter.
15. Do not be a spectator of other people's resurrection. The Emmaus men told Jesus about Jesus from reported speech. Hear God for yourself. Stop being a baby girl for Jesus; he is looking for soldiers. Never use God as the last bus stop.
16. Slow heart versus burning heart. Prophecy can be on Friday while the heart is still in January. Fear, depression, doubt, and old experience slow the heart. Fan the flame. Avoid fire extinguishers. Guard your heart. Do not discuss vision with a slow heart.
17. Abide with us. Do not let the walk with God stay an outward show. Honour: put the phone down in church and in prayer. When the mind wanders to Sokoto, drag it back.

Today / this season

• Shout and declare: Jesus is alive. He is risen. I am alive in him. Walk up to neighbours (he kept saying 14) and scream it.
• Run to the altar, the overflow screen, or lay a hand on your device: dead things rise, stones roll away, the veil tears, chains break.
• Tell a neighbour: let there be light; lie of the devil or truth of the word; keep saying it even if you do not feel it; I came to see the risen Jesus; the angel is not Jesus; my story did not stop where you put a full stop; fear not; which Jesus are you looking for; it is not my own; everybody come out; stop being a spectator; Lord, quicken my heart; let my heart burn.
• Reverse with your mouth every word you have uttered that is not of God.
• Stay in his presence. Do not leave because Peter left.
