Manipulation: Ignorance Is a License to Bondage — Dr. Chris Okafor

Manipulation: Ignorance Is a License to Bondage — Dr. Chris Okafor

 

“Nothing honours until a spirit interferes.”

 

Manipulation, broadly defined, is the act of influencing or controlling a person or situation through subtle or overt tactics for personal advantage. In many cases, such influence is perfected through spiritual interference, because the spiritual realm ultimately governs the physical.

 

 

This profound subject formed the focus of the midweek non-denominational Prophetic Healing, Deliverance and Solutions (PHDS) Service ministered by the Generational Prophet of God and Senior Pastor of Grace Nation Worldwide, Dr. Chris Okafor, at the international headquarters of the ministry in Ojodu Berger, Lagos, Nigeria.

 

Manipulation: Ignorance Is a License to Bondage — Dr. Chris Okafor

 

Speaking on the topic “Manipulation”, with the subtitle “The Spiritual Aspect,” Dr. Okafor explained that manipulation exists in two dimensions: demonic manipulation and divine manipulation.

 

Demonic Manipulation

 

According to the Generational Prophet, demonic manipulation represents the negative expression of spiritual control, where individuals are influenced by the spirit of darkness to act contrary to their true intentions and divine purpose.

He noted that under demonic manipulation, people often say or do things their inner conscience did not authorize, acting solely under satanic influence. This, he explained, accounts for the increasing hostility, false accusations, and defamatory statements directed at genuine servants of God in contemporary times.

 

“Many people speak evil against true men of God, maligning those sent by God to help them. Often, it is not entirely their fault—it is the work of demonic manipulation,” he stated.

Dr. Okafor, however, offered reassurance, emphasizing that a prayerful life and proper spiritual alignment provide immunity against such attacks. He stressed that when a believer is connected to a spiritual father and guided correctly, no level of manipulation can stop destiny or destroy God-ordained blessings.

 

He warned that unchecked manipulation can damage destiny and limit access to divine blessings.

Divine Manipulation

The Prophet further taught that just as there is demonic manipulation aimed at destruction, there is also divine manipulation—the intervention of God to protect, guide, and align His people with His eternal purpose.

 

“If there is a demon manipulating destinies wrongly, there is also a God in heaven who divinely interferes to preserve glory,” he declared.

Dr. Okafor explained that believers who understand the principles of serving God in truth and in spirit operate under divine manipulation, where God orchestrates events in their favour. Under such covering, no demonic manipulation can prevail.

 

He added that consistent prayer, commitment to kingdom service, partnership with God’s work, and active soul-winning neutralize every form of demonic interference.

 

Solutions to Manipulation

 

According to Dr. Okafor, the ultimate safeguard against manipulation is a disciplined prayer life and total commitment to the things of God. Such spiritual alignment ensures that no demonic influence can infiltrate a believer’s path.

 

The PHDS midweek service witnessed a mighty move of the Holy Spirit, marked by deliverance, healings, miracles, restoration, and divine solutions to numerous cases presented before Elohim, the God of Grace Nation.

Prophet Israel Oladele’s Genesis Global 2025 Harvest of New Dimension seeks to empower 5,000 widows and widowers in Lagos

…Hallel Night of Praise comes with high expectations.

 

The Genesis Global Harvest of New Dimension has arrived. There remains something exceptional and distinctive about the life of this esteemed man of God, Genesis, whose generosity and concern for welfare have set him apart and made him stand out among his peers.

Some may suggest that this is no longer news, as they might perceive it as an annual routine; however, it’s breaking news at our disposal because this year’s harvest of new Dimension is already causing some individuals to think in suspense due to the massive preparation becoming mind-blowing and creating a climax atmosphere.

It is undeniable that Prophet Israel Oladele Ogundipe, fondly referred to as Genesis, hosts an annual Adults Harvest that has become a prominent event, characterized by numerous funfairs and jamborees from the Friday Hallel Night of Praise to the Sunday Harvest of New Dimension Thanksgiving.

Evidently, no harvest has ever been planned in this manner in the history of the CCC Lagos chapter, as Prophet Israel Oladele Ogundipe has redefined and transformed the doctrine of harvest of CCC through his divine wisdom with his Genesis Global family.

As of the time of filing this report, Prophet Genesis’ media aide, Oluwaseun Fabiyi, has confirmed that all hotels within the Dalemo, Alakuko, Abule Egba to Sango Otta axis have been fully booked due to the arrival of dignitaries from the United States of America, the United Kingdom, France, Israel, Abuja, Port Harcourt, Ondo, Ekiti, Kano, and Kaduna, who have come to celebrate with the prophet of God, resulting in potential difficulties for Lagosians seeking hotel accommodations.

A glimpse from the 2024 Hallel Night of Praise, which suddenly became the talk of the town when Prophet Genesis rode a decorated horse from backstage to the edifice altar, changing the atmosphere and shocking many attendees with this experience reminiscent of Lord Jesus Christ’s ride on a donkey, demonstrating Prophet Genesis’ divine wisdom in incorporating innovative elements into Genesis Global programs.

The 2025 Hallel Night of Praise, slated for Friday, 19 December 2025, at Genesis Global City, Dalemo Alakuko, off Duro Ishola Street, Lagos, is highly anticipated by many.Hallel Night of Praise is a specially designed evening of worship, created to complement the adult harvest, providing an opportunity for thanksgiving and heartfelt praise to God Almighty, who values and responds to fervent and sincere prayers – a fundamental principle that has fostered prayer answers, church growth, and expansion within the Genesis Global community.

Get ready for a night of unbridled praise and worship as Hallel Night of Praise brings together a stellar lineup of gospel artists, featuring the host, Genesis Global Choir, Elijah Daniels, Oyinkansola, Tobi Akuraku, CCioma, Erniola Olusoga, Minister Olalekan, Dare Oxygen, Titilayo Euba, and other anointed ministers of God, all set to create a night of open heavens and intense praise, kicking off at 8pm and going through until dawn.

Prior to this event and as part of this special 2025 harvest of a new dimension, Saturday, the 20th has been designated for Genesis Global Foundation empowerment, where thousands of widows, widowers, elderly men, and women will be empowered by the prophet of God through the Genesis Global Foundation.

The grand finale, taking place on Sunday, 21 December 2025, will be a special Sunday of new dimension harvest of thanksgiving, beginning at 9am promptly with various spiritual activities and prophetic declarations.

A statement from Prophet Israel Genesis’ media aide, Oluwaseun Fabiyi, confirmed that the harvest committee has made comprehensive arrangements to cater to the needs of all international dignitaries and attendees, with the welfare of individuals being paramount, alongside provisions for maximum security within Genesis Global City and its surroundings. In addition, this power pack program will feature an awards and recognition segment, where the elderly and widows, and widowers will receive cash grants and food items, and others will receive food items to celebrate Christmas and the New Year.

‎The statement cited Prophet Genesis, who articulated that the motivation behind this initiative is to empower a multitude of vulnerable individuals without the means to participate in the celebration of Jesus Christ’s birth, while also ensuring their basic needs are met.

According to Prophet Israel Oladele Ogundipe, also known as Genesis, in a statement to his media aide, Oluwaseun Fabiyi, the Genesis Global Church Annual Harvest is a time for people to express gratitude to God for a fruitful year at Genesis Global City, and also a time for people to experience God’s power, as testified by previous celebrations.

He further encourages individuals to experience the transformative power of God, as past events have demonstrated that it is an opportunity not only to celebrate but also to witness breakthroughs, divine encounters, and new opportunities. Save the date for the Hallel Night of Praise, from Friday, 19th to Sunday, 21st December 2025.

Why I took a break from music— Denny Zee ‎

Why I took a break from music— Denny Zee

‎Upwardly mobile afrobeats sensation, Denny Zee has explained the reason behind his short break from the music scene. For almost two years, the Epe, Lagos born singer, songwriter and producer had been off the scene, but he’s currently back with a new cut titled ‘Werk’.

‎Denny Zee described ‘Werk’ as a piece of art that will surpass the records of his previous hits -‘Joh’, ‘Bana,’ and ‘Tender’.

‎Formerly signed to Nuul Gang, a Sweden-based record label owned by an international DJ, Denny Zee’s career took on a global outlook through collaborations and international releases that expanded his artistic reach.

‎”I took the short break to strategize, and now I’m stepping into a new era of rebranding, redefining my identity and sound. My upcoming projects — including new singles and a highly anticipated EP — promises a richer, bolder expression of my message: joy, hustle, struggle, resilience, and the unapologetic pursuit of dreams, wrapped in the allure of a confident, charismatic artist who isn’t afraid to show both his strength and sensuality,” Denny Zee said.

‎He added that “I’m presently standing at the intersection of soul and sound — a singer, songwriter, and producer shaping the next wave of Afro music with authenticity, creativity, and unshakable drive. Open to collaboration and new sonic adventures. I’m not just chasing success, I’m building a legacy, one record at a time.”

‎Raised in the heart of Lagos, Denny Zee’s journey began as a young dreamer determined to channel the storm inside him. With the support of his musically inclined brothers, he found direction and discipline, transforming raw passion into a craft. What started in local studios has since grown into an artistic identity that bridges continents and generations.

‎Denny Zee’s sound is an intoxicating blend of Afrobeat, Afrofusion, Afroswing, and Reggaeton, laced with R&B and Soul. It’s music that grooves and moves, but also speaks — balancing rhythm with reflection. His influences — Fela Kuti, Shabba Ranks, Sean Paul, Wande Coal, Burna Boy, and Wizkid — helped shape his sound, but his individuality gives it a modern heartbeat uniquely his.

‎As both a songwriter and producer, Denny Zee’s artistry goes beyond his own discography. He has written and produced numerous songs, collaborating with major artists including Rude Boy of the legendary P-Square duo and the Afrobeat duo Bracket, among others. His creative fingerprint runs deep across the industry — blending storytelling, melody, and emotion with precision and authenticity.
