The UK Battle Axe Retreat proved to be a defining moment of spiritual awakening, challenging believers to embrace a deeper walk with God and a renewed urgency for effective ministry.
A Legacy of Passion for Ministry
The retreat opened with a powerful testimony of sustained zeal and dedication. The speaker reflected on a pivotal encounter in 2011 that ignited a long-lasting admiration for steadfast ministry rooted in intimacy with God. Even after years of service, the flame of passion remains bright—reminding us that spiritual fervor doesn’t have to fade with time.
Hunger over Entertainment
One of the most striking calls was to abandon casual Christianity for a desperate pursuit of God. In a world where church services often resemble entertainment, the retreat reminded believers that spiritual hunger—expressed through prayer, fasting, and pursuit of the supernatural—is what God honors. There was a deep call to return to the raw power of healing, deliverance, and spiritual warfare.
Equipped for Battle: Understanding the Enemy
The retreat emphasized the reality of spiritual hierarchies and the need for intentional preparation. Jesus Himself taught that some demonic forces require deeper levels of spiritual discipline. Believers were reminded that prayer and fasting are not optional but essential for overcoming entrenched spiritual opposition.
The Believer’s Mandate
Unlike angels, who have never experienced redemption, it is believers who are entrusted with preaching, deliverance, and spiritual authority. The message underscored the urgency for every Christian to rise to this calling and not grow complacent in the face of spiritual need.
Ministry in a Complicated World
Today’s world is not the same as it was in decades past. With digital distractions, moral shifts, and spiritual complexity on the rise, the retreat drew attention to the increasing burden on evangelists and ministers. What was once a field of thousands has become a field of millions. And today’s sinners are not only greater in number—they are more spiritually elusive, requiring ministers to be sharper, wiser, and more prayerful.
Integrity, Purpose, and Generational Leadership
As societal norms continue to drift, the retreat highlighted the importance of holding onto divine standards. Using examples from Scripture, the speaker encouraged believers to remain distinct, uphold integrity, and step into their divine purpose. There was also a strong call for a new generation of leaders to rise—leaders willing to lead with boldness, purity, and spiritual depth.
Spiritual Alertness and Personal Responsibility
Another powerful moment came from the contrast between Jesus’ agony in prayer and His disciples’ slumber. The message here was clear: every believer is personally responsible for staying spiritually awake. God is calling His people into deeper engagement, not passivity.
Intimacy with Christ: The Mary Model
Mary’s relentless pursuit of Jesus—despite setbacks, fear, and abandonment—stood out as a model of unwavering faith. While others returned to comfort and slumber, she pressed on. The retreat encouraged believers to develop that same deep yearning and determination to seek Christ no matter the cost.
Declare, See, and Possess
Participants were urged to speak life-giving declarations over their destinies. Spiritual sight was presented as a form of warfare—being able to see and understand what God is doing is crucial for victory. As the veil is lifted, believers are called to step boldly into clarity, insight, and divine direction.
Conclusion: Now Is the Time
The UK Battle Axe Retreat was more than an event; it was a divine confrontation. A reminder that the church must rise—not in entertainment, not in convenience—but in desperate pursuit of God, in spiritual responsibility, and in unwavering commitment to the mandate of heaven. It is a wake-up call to pray, fast, see, and speak with power. The time is now.

What stood out was the raw honesty about spiritual warfare. A sobering reminder that victory demands sacrifice and sharpness in the Spirit.
In Spiritual war, there are always strategies! There are methodologies. Once one doesn’t take cognizance of such, victory is not certain!
As Christians we are called to wake up to the call to evangelism… And this can’t be done by our own power… We need God to open our eyes to see the way He sees, we have to wait upon God in fasting and prayers….
Your routine defines your reality, lack of spiritual routine lead to spiritual weakness during critical moment, believe should embrace regular moment God
Pursuing Intimacy, Power, and Purpose in a Changing World by Evang. Isaac Omolehin resonate the urgency for every Christian to rise to this calling and not grow complacent in the face of digital distractions, moral shifts, and spiritual complexity.
To have a steadfast ministry, one must be rooted in intimacy with God. No matter the years of service, the spiritual fervor does not fade off, because it is rooted in deep intimacy with God.
In a generation where the world seems to have come into the church and vice versa, the only spiritual hunger that catches God’s attention is deep prayer, fasting and the pursuit of supernatural.
Believers are encouraged to be disciplined spiritually and prepare to overcome the opposing powers as admonished by the scriptures.
Many keeps drifting away and losing their grip in God, but as end time armies, we must hold on to the ancient landmark, not changing/lowering the divine standard for anyone. We must hold on to our integrity and remain purposeful.
No matter what comes our way, we must keep our faith unwavering, yearn, determine and be disciplined to pursue Christ at all cost.
May God help us to finish our race with purpose of heart.
Thanks.
There was a refreshing return to the basics: fasting, prayer and integrity. Not as forgotten disciplines, but as frontline tools for today’s complicated world.
The basic necessity in life is a perfect relationship with God. One need to be focus and mindful with the things of God
