The Power of One - Apostle Felix Okoh
On Day 4 of Rhema Feast 2026, Apostle Felix Okoh delivered a message that went beyond the pulpit and into the heart of the Church: there is power in one. He challenged believers to confront one of the greatest threats to the fulfilment of the Church's mandate, not the opposition outside, but the division within.
Looking at the Tower of Babel in Genesis 11, Apostle Felix reminded us of something sobering: even God acknowledged what people could accomplish when they were united and moved with one voice. If unity could give a people such strength in building something outside God's will, how much more could the Church accomplish if we truly became one in purpose, one in love and one in pursuit of God?
How good and pleasant it is when God's people live together in unity.
Psalm 133:1
Unity is not merely about sitting in the same congregation or worshipping under the same roof. It is about the condition of our hearts. And where there is gossip, rivalry, jealousy and strife, we may unknowingly be creating an atmosphere where the blessing cannot flourish.
Apostle Felix called the Church to examine the battles we sometimes fight among ourselves. The enemy does not always need to attack from outside when believers are willing to wound one another from within. Every whispered criticism, every unnecessary comparison, every rivalry and every act of division can become a tool that weakens the very body we have been called to build.
Achan, and the cost of a hidden thing
Joshua 7
The story of Achan in Joshua 7 brought the warning even closer. One person's hidden disobedience affected an entire nation. It is a sobering reminder that our private choices can have corporate consequences. What we tolerate in secret can become a burden to the people we are supposed to be building with.
But the message was not merely a rebuke - it was a call back to love. Apostle Felix challenged the Church to stop competing and start connecting. To stop becoming agents of darkness through gossip, criticism and tearing one another down, especially online, and instead become people who celebrate, support, pray for and strengthen one another. The Kingdom does not advance when we are fighting for whose name should be known; it advances when we are willing for His name to be known.
Perhaps the question coming out of this sermon is not, “Who is dividing the Church?” but, “Am I contributing to the unity of the body?”
Because rebuilding the Church will require more than powerful sermons, great gatherings and gifted men and women. It will require hearts surrendered enough to lay down pride, competition, offence and selfish ambition.
As the sermon closed with a prayer for Kenya and the body of Christ beyond, the cry was clear: let the spirit of disunity be broken. Let the Church become one. Because when we become one, we become stronger. When we choose love over rivalry, healing over offence, and collaboration over competition, something greater than ourselves begins to emerge.
There is power in one. And perhaps the transformation God wants to begin in the Church today must first begin with you.
