14 DAYS PRAYER & FASTING | DAY 14 | IT HAS ENDED IN PRAISE - CONGRATULATIONS | SUNDAY 12TH JULY 2026

This is the Sunday of Day 14 - the last day of the 14-day media fast - and the stream carries all of the Abuja Sunday services back to back. The theme is one sentence, repeated all day and screamed into fourteen neighbours' ears: "It has ended in praise." The opening prayer is a closing-out prayer over the fast - "Any power of hell that says after this 14 days I will remain where I am, you are a liar" - with a running call to testify like it has already happened.

The first-service message is built on Acts 16:25-30, 35-36. Pastor Jerry's premise is that a believer is "a praise being, not a request being," and that "the language of praise is the language of access." Paul and Silas were not singing because the situation had changed; they sang in the stocks, in the dirt, and loudly enough that the prisoners heard them. His line: "How can I give him a prison praise and he will not give me a prison break?" Attached to it is a warning about transition seasons - "transition seasons are creation seasons"; the caterpillar that fails mid-change is neither caterpillar nor butterfly, so praise, don't complain, in the in-between. He also draws from Acts 15: when God separates a Barnabas and sends a Silas, stop chasing the Barnabas.

Pastor Eno preached the second service from 2 Kings 4:1-7, the widow's oil, on three charges: what you danced about, you will not cry over; I will not cry again (Nahum 1:9 - "affliction shall not rise up a second time"); and shut the door. Her point about the vessels: borrowing "not a few" was a work of faith that owed no one an explanation, and the sons were in the room not because they were her sons but because they had walked the faith with her.

The later service reads Zechariah 4:1-10 - "the dynamics of praise." The angel wakes a man who is already awake and asks what do you see?; one lampstand carries seven lights, so a single 14-day encounter opens seven doors; the mountain is not yours to melt - you shout "Grace, grace"; and the hands that laid the foundation shall also finish it. He prayed a finisher's anointing over every dream, favour and helper that began in a life and never finished. The final service continued last week's series, Living in Joy, from Romans 12:12, James 1:2-3 and Philippians 4:4-8, on "count it all joy" as heaven's arithmetic: "count" is a mathematical term, and God offers an alternative formula - don't count offence, count growth. "Rejoice is a verb."

Between the services came a long run of testimonies - kidney cancer removed and cleared, a father revived from collapse, a fully funded scholarship out of 29,000 applicants, an eight-year wait for a child ended, and a Ghanaian businessman who arrived broke in 2024 and returned with a national contract. The day closed pointing to the 5:30 p.m. grand finale of the fast, with communion, and to the 40 Days of Power, Miracles and Manifestation starting Monday.

Theme and timing

• Theme: "It has ended in praise - Congratulations." Day 14, the final day of the 14-day media fast.
• Grand finale this evening at 5:30 p.m. - the close of the fast. Announced in every service.
• Next Sunday: midyear thanksgiving, theme "Thank You Lord - The Battle Is Over," in all four services: 7:00, 8:30, 10:15 and 11:45 a.m.

40 Days of Power, Miracles and Manifestation (40DPMM)

• Begins Monday 13 July, on the altar of fire. No fasting this time - instead a daily scripture and unique daily prayer points, exactly as during the fast.
• Scriptures and prayer points will be dropped on the NSPPD prayer WhatsApp platform and all ministry social media; the first drop comes this evening after the prayer.
• Week one:
  • Monday - God of Wonders, God of Perfection
  • Tuesday - The Lord Blocked It, It Did Not Happen Again
  • Wednesday - Oh Lord, Show Me Mercy
  • Thursday - And the Lord Turned It (Evidence Festival)
  • Friday - Divine Family Turnaround
  • Saturday - Higher Ground, Greater Result
  • Sunday - Thanksgiving: The Battle Is Over
• The declared "operations": the evidence is in your hands; no more obstacles; divine alignment; the sound of a new season; a breakout of favour; helpers have arrived; the Lord has done it his way; my season is not empty.
• The 40 days were not planned - they landed exactly on the run-up to the man of God's birthday, so birthday testimonies will be replayed through the period.

Testimonies to send

• New NSPPD testimony/WhatsApp lines (announced from today because of the surge on the existing line). As spoken: 0803 886 6988 and 0803 992 2474 - the captions repeat the digit strings 838866988 and 839922474, once prefixed +234 and once read with a leading 0803, so the last grouping is reconstructed. Both are on WhatsApp.
• The existing testimony line remains active, including on Telegram.
• Testimony forms can be picked up at the inquiry desk, filled and submitted, to be scheduled to testify in a later service.

Church programmes announced

• Thursday midweek service resumes with a new worship series: "Dominion in All Spheres - And They Bowed," 6:00 p.m. every Thursday. ("Thursday is going to blow your mind - something is coming really strong from the Hebrew voice.")
• Discipleship class resumes Monday, church premises, 6:00 p.m.
• Maturity class resumes Tuesday, church premises, 6:00 p.m.
• Real Men (men's fellowship) review and planning meeting, Saturday 18 July, church premises, theme "Iron Sharpens Iron," 9:00 a.m.
• Gems and Jewels (singles 39 and below) career development programme, 25 July, overflow premises, 10:00 a.m. - scan the QR code on the screen to register, or go to the inquiry desk.
• Church building project ongoing; account details on the screen.
• Devotional books, MP3s of the man of God's messages and other ministry materials available at the emporium / inquiry desk.

Offering

• Offerings, tithes and partnership raised as a wave offering in every service. Today's framing: "Today is the last day, so what we're offering is thanksgiving." - "I do not want you to give what you are very used to giving."

Communion

• Come to the 5:30 p.m. grand finale with your communion - repeated in every service. "Whatever you're using as your communion, come with it, because it's about to be the climax of all that the Lord is doing."
• Several testifiers credited daily communion taken along with the altar's prayers with their healing.

New members and first-timers

• First-timers welcomed, asked to fill the usher's form and hand it back before leaving. Those saying "this is going to be my church" were prayed for: "Whatsoever runs in the prophetic DNA of our ministry, let the same run in your own life."
• Many travelled in from outside Nigeria specifically to close the fast in Abuja.

Testimonies played / recapped

• Fully funded scholarship. A first-time applicant who came to Abuja in July 2025 for her interview, was not called out from the altar, wept, and was told in her spirit to pick up a broom lying on the altar floor and "sweep whatever you don't want to see in your life." She prayed nightly from July to September. 29,000 applied, 5,000 were interviewed, 180 were selected - five from Enugu State, two from her local government, and she is one of them. Fully funded: choice of three countries and fifty institutions, plus flights, feeding and accommodation. She could not name the awarding body because of an NDA.
• Grade 2 kidney cancer, cleared. A Lagos member with what she called "demonic diarrhoea" from 2022; two endoscopies and colonoscopies came back clear; she became lactose- and gluten-intolerant and lost weight. In 2025 a CT scan found a mass on her kidney; a US consultant said "you don't have six months to live," a UK-based surgeon (an Indian doctor who had schooled at the University of Sokoto) did a 3D reconstruction and found a tumour the size of a tennis ball merged into the kidney. He removed it, and the pathology came back grade 2 kidney cancer - no chemotherapy, no radiotherapy needed. She shouted "hallelujah" in his office and the non-Christian surgeon shouted with her. A follow-up CT scan and bloods in March 2026 were clear. Her charge: "Whatever papa says to you on this altar, just do it."
• Father revived after collapse. On Friday (the "Dry Bones Will Live Again" service) her father slumped at home. She told her mother not to cry, to put the mantle on his head and pray. He was unconscious, BP over 200, blood-sugar unreadable, and the hospital wanted to move him off oxygen overnight; the family prayed through the night, "not under my watch." By morning he was awake and asking for water - and he was sitting in the service.
• Houston, brought back from a coma. A 74-year-old member of Streams of Joy Houston watched NSPPD until about 2:30 a.m. on 7 October 2025 and went to bed; six and a half hours later she woke in an ambulance. Her daughter in Lagos had raised an alarm when she wouldn't answer; 911 found her unresponsive. Four days in emergency, diagnosed with a UTI - "can a UTI put a 74-year-old into unconsciousness? No. It was an evil arrow." October and November brought numbness down her left side, vertigo and tinnitus. On 28 February 2026, at a programme in Anambra State, a visiting pastor from Port Harcourt who is not an NSPPD member told her she must give a special thanksgiving - not on that altar, but on the altar where her deliverance came. He said he saw her in a coma being carried at speed, and an angel blocking the vessel, saying "Pastor Jerry's tears are too much, and God cannot allow these tears to go in vain." She gave one full month of her retirement benefit, sent to nsppd.org, and brought the receipt.
• Promotion after 10 years, backdated pay. A member who had testified in October about getting a job after 14 months was called on 7 December 2025 for an interview from an application she had made two years earlier. During the January 21-day fast, Pastor Jerry told the congregation to name the thing and fix a date; she said "before 30 January." She was called on the 29th - "Where have you been? Come and collect your letter." Documentation in February; she formally resumed on 1 June - but was paid from February.
• Daughter delivered from demonic attack. A mother whose 13-year-old daughter (twin to a child with autism) was attacked in August and again in February; the girl lost her memory, couldn't recall her brothers' names, hit her head and threatened to jump. In an encounter, a man with a distinctive haircut came into a dark room, removed a chain from her neck and said he would come back - the mother showed her a photo and the girl identified Pastor Jerry. The girl's picture was later given to the man of God to lay hands on. In a second encounter, a man in white with the Streams of Joy logo on his chest drew a black thing out of her body, told it "I warned you, you cannot occupy this body," and told the girl "congratulations, enter your body." She is now 100% - chores, academics, memory all restored.
• A child after eight years. Married in 2016, first child in 2017, then eight years with nothing. A pregnancy in October 2024 was ectopic and evacuated on 1 December. She sent her request to the birthday prayer link in 2025 and promised to come from online to testify in person. She conceived in September, had spotting at five months that stopped on the way to hospital, and stood testifying with the baby - "I call him an Arroi baby."
• Off steroids, walking in heels. After a CS delivery she developed sepsis and a wound that would not heal, platelets of over 700,000-800,000 against a normal 150,000-450,000, and was bedridden and unable to walk for five to six months; tests kept coming back negative but symptoms pointed to rheumatoid arthritis, and she was placed on steroids she could not stand up without. After Pastor Jerry prayed "open wounds be sealed up," the wound closed before her Thursday hospital appointment and the doctor discharged her. In February 2026 she stopped the drugs, replacing them with the word of healing and daily communion - she testified standing, walking, in heels, with normal test results.
• Vivian - double promotion. Ten years in one position since 2016. Hearing a testimony about paying tithe on the salary you are believing for, she began paying the tithe of the promotion she had not yet received, and kept it up through 2024 and 2025 with nothing to show. She wrote qualifying exams in Canada, America and Nigeria, received her certification on 17 May, and was handed a promotion letter for double what she had prayed for - and her husband received the same promotion, his international. She sewed a white outfit specifically to roll on the floor of the church in thanksgiving.
• Chinedu (protocol worker) - nine years compressed. His father died in 2017 and uncles disputed the family property; sales kept collapsing, and one concluded sale was forcibly reversed by the bank a week later. After the 2025 21-day new year fast, "things happened so fast my head swam" - his seriously ill mother recovered rapidly, he got a new job in an oil and gas firm, a new house, and a marital settlement.
• Tony (introduced in 2015) - three testimonies. His daughter, diagnosed with hormonal imbalance and told she could not give birth, is now mother to a boy and a girl and lives in the UK with her husband. A personal property he had struggled to develop for over forty years was settled. And an STD contracted in his second year as a student, which no course of treatment or injections resolved - a daily pin-prick pain - stopped completely in less than 90 days after he began taking the communion following prayer in 2021 and applying it. He apologised publicly for years of taking the church for granted.
• Marriage, adenomyosis and a thriving child. From a family in Akwa Ibom where the women largely did not marry - seven aunts, roughly two married - she recognised the pattern at 30 and connected to NSPPD in August 2020. Her suitor met her parents in January 2023, then went silent; a dream revealed a curse laid in anger by a relative years before. She married on 5 August 2023. Diagnosed with adenomyosis and told the only treatment was removal of the womb, she took the report to the altar and tore it during one of Pastor Jerry's prayers. On a night when Pastor Eno said "fix a date," she fixed two months after her wedding - and conceived in October. Her daughter then failed to thrive: about 5 kg at one year, hair gone bald, very small. The child turned two on 20 June and has met every milestone - chubby, full hair, noisy.
• Ghana - from suicidal and broke to a national contract. He came to Streams of Joy on 5 May 2024 ("Ephphatha") on his last money, having attempted suicide three times. He took the teaching on speaking to gates, downloaded a world map, laid on it in his hotel room and spoke to gates. An opponent who had vowed to bring him down asked to settle out of court; a company someone had taken from him diabolically for two years was restored. In January 2025 a friend of ten years, given a sector to run by the president, brought him in; a German partner came into the deal. His passport sat at the Egyptian embassy from September to November - released, fee waived, the week after he served at the NSPPD Ghana prayer conference. In Cairo he was given the franchise, and after a competitive process his company was chosen: Ghana's national licence plates / RFID plates, five projects, the least two of them ongoing, over €100 million. "You keep praying. This is not the end."

---

1. You are a praise being, not a request being. "For his pleasure we were created." If your life is more petition and supplication than praise, you have not understood why you were made. And praise is not rhythm - you can sing lyrics full of praise while your mind never connects to God.
2. The language of praise is the language of access. It is what heaven understands, and it is the church triumphant's permanent assignment.
3. Prison praise comes before prison break. Paul and Silas praised in the stocks, in the dirt and the smell, before anything changed - and loudly, so the prisoners heard them. "How can I give him a prison praise and he will not give me a prison break?" Some are praying for a prison break but are not serious about the prison praise. Note also that the other prisoners heard the praise and did not join it - and when Paul and Silas were released, the others were kept back.
4. There are praises you give God for the seasons of silence - for the period you thought he wasn't moving, because that is where you gained the capacity you would need when the answers start arriving faster than you can keep up.
5. Transition seasons are creation seasons. A caterpillar that gets it wrong mid-change becomes neither caterpillar nor butterfly - it just hangs there, unrecognisable, and even its own generation rejects it. In transition, don't let the devil fill you with bitterness or doubt (that is what he did to John the Baptist in prison). Praise all the way.
6. Praise is a weapon and a magnifying glass. If your praise only moves your dance step and not the picture of God in your heart, you are praising wrongly. Through the binoculars of praise you see again what he did four, six, eight years ago, and faith surges.
7. Don't chase a Barnabas God has separated. After prayer, if some people are no longer talking to you and there is no quarrel, don't go and energise it - God may have sent you a Silas who will pray beside you instead of asking why you are singing. But be careful not to leave your Paul: Barnabas was heard of because of Paul.
8. We don't declare the end because of an event - we declare it because he is the end. "If you want to know how my end will look, look at the beginning and the end." Stop explaining how you will end; let them go and ask the End.
9. Praise is a seed and a sacrifice before it is a harvest. The kind of praise you want to see at the end, sow at the beginning. "My praise comes from relationship, not from situationship."
10. From Zechariah 4 - the dynamics of praise: wake up even though you are awake (there is an encounter that shows you the level you should have passed ten years ago); what do you see? - praise comes from what he shows, not from what is physical; one lampstand but seven lights - a single 14-day encounter is not for one area of your life; not by might, not by power, but by my Spirit - "if you can handle it, it's your case; if you cannot handle it, it is God's case"; the mountain is not yours to melt - God was dealing with Zerubbabel's mountain before Zerubbabel considered it a challenge, so shout "Grace, grace," not "mountain, mountain"; and the hands that laid the foundation shall finish it - you are not a beginner, you are a finisher.
11. Count it all joy - heaven's mathematics. "Count" is a mathematical term; God prescribes a method. You know what the sum should be, but for someone's sake you count it differently. So a disappointment is not counted as rejection, a slight not counted as disrespect. "I'm not counting offence, I'm counting growth. We're not counting those who walked away - we're counting how God taught us to trust him."
12. Joy is rooted in the spirit and manifests in the soul - it is a measure of stature, not a mood. Prayerlessness is a sign you do not want to live in joy. And rejoice is a verb: if the joy is inside you, do something with it. Pleasure and joy are not the same - he doesn't give pleasure to produce joy; the joy is already there, which is why when the pleasure goes, the joy remains.
13. Pastor Eno's charge: what you danced about, you will not cry over; affliction shall not rise up a second time; the widow went to God, not to her friends - "we don't cry here, we know where to go"; faith is a work, not talk, and it owes no one an explanation ("if you explain it, they will water it down"); and shut the door - to the voices in your own head first, then to bitterness, anger, unforgiveness and anyone who cannot walk your faith with you. The sons were in the room because they practised faith with their mother, not because they were her sons.
