The Man Who Saw God Face To Face
Raphael Okechukwu Nweze
Introduction
At times, you hear people, even ministers of God, arguing whether saraka (festive meal) is relevant or not. Some would ask you to show where such was recorded in the Bible. Unknown to the majority of the public, the Bible is incomplete and is les than ten percent (10%) of the original Bible, called sacred texts, which were given to humanity. Hereunder are Bible portions where saraka was performed without people knowing it.
As the man who saw God face to face, I say to the world that God does not play with saraka, and He wants it to performed from to time by whoever that can provide it.
Advantages Of Saraka
The benefits derived from saraka include:
- Quick answers to prayers.
- Success and prosperity.
- Deliverance and victory.
- Protection by the Angels of God.

Jesus Fed The Five Thousand
13 When Jesus heard it, He departed from there by boat to a deserted place by Himself. But when the multitudes heard it, they followed Him on foot from the cities. 14 And when Jesus went out He saw a great multitude; and He was moved with compassion for them, and healed their sick. 15 When it was evening, His disciples came to Him, saying, "This is a deserted place, and the hour is already late. Send the multitudes away, that they may go into the villages and buy themselves food."
16 But Jesus said to them, "They do not need to go away. You give them something to eat."
17 And they said to Him, "We have here only five loaves and two fish."
18 He said, "Bring them here to Me." 19 Then He commanded the multitudes to sit down on the grass. And He took the five loaves and the two fish, and looking up to heaven, He blessed and broke and gave the loaves to the disciples; and the disciples gave to the multitudes. 20 So they all ate and were filled, and they took up twelve baskets full of the fragments that remained. 21 Now those who had eaten were about five thousand men, besides women and children.

34 Jesus said to them, "How many loaves do you have?"
And they said, "Seven, and a few little fish."
35 So He commanded the multitude to sit down on the ground. 36 And He took the seven loaves and the fish and gave thanks, broke them and gave them to His disciples; and the disciples gave to the multitude. 37 So they all ate and were filled, and they took up seven large baskets full of the fragments that were left. 38 Now those who ate were four thousand men, besides women and children. 39 And He sent away the multitude, got into the boat, and came to the region of Magdala.

King Of Israel Fed Syrian Soldiers
19 Now Elisha said to them, "This is not the way, nor is this the city. Follow me, and I will bring you to the man whom you seek." But he led them to Samaria.
20 So it was, when they had come to Samaria, that Elisha said, "LORD, open the eyes of these men, that they may see." And the LORD opened their eyes, and they saw; and there they were, inside Samaria!
21 Now when the king of Israel saw them, he said to Elisha , "My father, shall I kill them? Shall I kill them?"
22 But he answered, "You shall not kill them. Would you kill those whom you have taken captive with your sword and your bow? Set food and water before them, that they may eat and drink and go to their master." 23 Then he prepared a great feast for them; and after they ate and drank, he sent them away and they went to their master. So the bands of Syrian raiders came no more into the land of Israel.
