Sunday Service
24 May 2026
Topic: Know the God of Your Father
Speaker: Elder Bofetogile
Anchor Scripture
1 Chronicles 28:9
The service began under a strong atmosphere of prayer and authority as Elder Bofetogile released declarations and decrees, taking charge over spiritual realms and shifting the atmosphere through the power of God. The church was ushered into a deep dimension of worship, prayer, and revelation.
Preaching from 1 Chronicles 28:9, Elder Bofetogile spoke on the instruction David gave to Solomon, saying, “Know the God of your father.” Among many sons, Solomon was singled out because destiny had located him. David understood that success, wisdom, strength, and preservation would not come from the throne alone, but from knowing God personally.
Elder Bofetogile emphasized that this was not just a message for Solomon, but also for the church today. As ZAOGA believers, we must know the God of Baba Ezekiel Guti. Not through stories alone, but through prayer, holiness, obedience, and encounters with Him.
The man of God taught that there are two ways of knowing God. One is through divine encounters and personal experiences with Him. The second is through the Scriptures, which is the living Word of God.
He spoke deeply about the encounter Baba Ezekiel Guti had with God in the bush, where God told him, “Fear not, sin not.” From that encounter, Baba Guti became a man consumed by the Word, prayer, fasting, and holiness. He carried grace because he carried God. He became a vessel of miracles, wisdom, deliverance, and uncommon exploits because he knew God intimately.
Elder Bofetogile challenged the church to immerse themselves in the Word of God completely. He encouraged believers to eat the Word, speak the Word, meditate on the Word, and live according to the Word. He taught that a believer who is empty of the Word becomes weak spiritually, but a believer full of the Word becomes full of power and discernment.
From Daniel 11:32b, he declared with authority that “the people who know their God shall be strong and shall do exploits.” He also read Ephesians 6:10, reminding the church to be strong in the Lord and in the power of His might.
The teachings of Baba Guti on maturity were also highlighted. Elder Bofetogile explained that maturity keeps a believer stable in difficult times. Mature Christians do not easily give up, compromise, or backslide. They remain loyal to God, committed to prayer, faithful in giving, and rooted in holiness.
The church was warned against living powerless and defeated Christian lives. Elder Bofetogile charged believers to become Christians in every environment. At church, at home, at work, and in society, our lives must reflect Christ fully.
Ministering from John 14:12, he reminded the church that Jesus said we shall do the works He did and even greater works because He lives through us. Hebrews 11:33 was also used to show how men who knew God conquered kingdoms, obtained promises, and walked in extraordinary power through faith.
As the service progressed, Elder Bofetogile prayed fervently for the youth and imparted them with a fresh fire to walk in the beauty of holiness and in the power of God. He charged the young people to become radical in their faith, fearless in prayer, uncompromising in holiness, and fully sold out to God in this generation.
The atmosphere was filled with conviction, power, and deep hunger for God as the church received a strong reminder that when a person truly knows God, their life carries evidence. Knowing God produces strength, holiness, maturity, boldness, power, and exploits that cannot be ignored.
