If you are born in May shout
another halleluiah!
Every one of us will go out as we
leave here; to go and win souls for the Almighty God and you will see what God
will do for you in return in Jesus name.
Let's open our Bibles to Psalm
102 v 13 Thou shall arise and have mercy on Zion (you can put your name there)
for the time to favor her yea, the said time is come.
If you receive that let me hear
you say amen loud and clear.
Tonight we want to talk about
OPERATING UNDER DIVINE FAVOR.
The pastor who spoke before have
done an extremely beautiful job. And I just want to add a little bit to what he
had already said, from this text we discovered that when a man's time of favor
comes God will do two basic things; number one he will arise, number two; he
will show mercy. Only those two basic things, thou will arise and show mercy
for the time to favor her yea, the said time has come. When the time for favor
comes, God does two basic things.
Number one he arises, now Psalm
68 v 1-3 says let God arise and his enemies will scatter. Now when we will say
the enemies of God will scatter the question that comes to your mind
immediately is; who are the enemies of God?
When you look at Act 9 v 1-5 you
discovered that the enemies of God are the enemies of his children. There was a
man called Saul of Tarsus he was persecuting Christians, he was throwing them
to prison, he was killing them, he was doing all manners of evil against them
and then one day he got permission from the leaders to go to Damascus, that if
he should find any Christian there at all he will take them bound to Jerusalem
so that they can be dealt with.
On the way the Lord met him and
knocked him down from the Horse. Do you know those who are persecuting you are
about to be knocked down. Then God spoke to him and Saul, Saul, why persecuted
thou me? And then Saul said how can I be persecuting you, I don't even know who
you are.
Then God said it is me you are
persecuting, when you are persecuting my children. You see those who are
tormenting children of God they don't know that they are in serious danger
because they are actually fighting against God and when God arises his enemies
will scatter.
So if I were you I will
congratulate the man beside you and say your enemies are about to be scattered.
When you go through the
Scriptures you will see several examples of what happen when God arose, for
example if you read Exodus 3 v 7-8 it is when God arose for Israel that there
deliverance from Egypt came, he said to Moses he said I have seen the
afflictions of my children, I have seen what the Egyptians are doing unto them.
You see many at times, we think
God does not see, but God is not blind, everything that is happening here on
earth he is observing and when it is time in his infinite wisdom to arise, he
will arise.
And I have a feeling that the
time for him to arise is now. The time for him to arise is now, he is about to
arise for me, he is about to arise for me, he is about to arise for his church,
he is about to arise for Nigeria, he is about to arise for the world. If you
believe that let me hear you say amen.
When you read Judges 15 v 1 -15
it tells you the story of Samson dealing with the Philistines and then the
Philistines decide they were going to revenge and the children of Israel
decided; let's sacrifice Samson.
His relatives came to him they
bound him and they handed him over to the Philistines.
I once preached a sermon on when
God is silent. When they got Samson on the mountain top and they were bounding
him, God didn't say anything, when they were binding him; God kept quiet.
When they handed him over to the
enemy; God didn't say a word, until the enemies began to rejoice, thinking that
now we got him, then God will arose. God will arise for somebody here today.
And when God arose suddenly all
the ropes bounding Samson, the bible say it was burnt as if it touched fire and
somehow he landed where there was a jaw bone of an ass already waiting. Do you
know the weapon that God will use to deal with your enemies is within your
reach right now?
And before we knew what was
happening; one thousand of the enemies lay dead and the others fled. When you
read 1 Samuel 17 v 1 -51 for forty days Goliath was terrorizing Israel; he was
getting up in the morning terrorizing them, in the evening terrorizing them and
God kept quiet.
But one day, God arose. And when
God arose in the morning, by the night time the head of Goliath was already
gone. Tonight in the name that is above every other names, the Goliath in your
life is about to lose his head.
When you read Daniel 3 v 13 - 30
you will see the story there of Shadrach, Meshach and Abednego when the king
said they must bow down and worship his idol and they refused, God kept quiet.
When the king was boasting; I am
going to deal with them, I am going to throw them into the fiery furnace, I am
going to make the fire to burn seven times than normal, God kept quiet. When
they were binding the three of them, God kept quiet.
When they were carrying them
towards the fire, God kept quiet. But just before they landed in the fire, God
arose!
Do you know that whatever problem
followed you here tonight, will not follow you back home? Because the time for
God to arise for you has come, if you believe that let me hear your halleluiah!
When you read Daniel 6 v 18- 28
you will see it there, that when the enemies of Daniel were holding their
meetings plotting how they will destroy him, they said something, they said we
know him; there is no way you can corrupt him, the only way you can get him, is
to ask him not to pray, he will pray to his God.
You know the enemies had been
saying that concerning many of you; they said the only thing you can get him
not to do is not to go to the Holy Ghost night, he will go there to pray, so
let's wait till he goes, well God is watching and he is listening.
When they said let's get him into
the den of Lions, God didn't say a word. When they threw him into the den of
lion and they rolled the stone across the mouth so that he won't be able to
escape and God arose and suddenly Lions became like lambs.
Do you know all those things that
have been frightening you very soon now, they will be toys in your hands?
Let me give you just one more
example because the bible is full of what happens when God arose.
In Act 16 v 25- 34 the Bible
tells us about what happened to Silas, you know before that they had already
cast out a demon out of a girl, the people got angry they beat them, they threw
them to prison and they told the jailer keep them save because by tomorrow
morning we are going to kill them.
And then the Bible says at
mid-night, Paul and Silas began to pray and they began to praise God. They were
doing what we are doing tonight and suddenly God arose and when God arose, the
earth began to shake and very soon there was an earth quake. And the prison
doors were flung open, every man's bound were loosed.
And the man, that they say should
keep these people save so that they can kill them tomorrow; is the now the one
who began to wash their wounds, who began to give them food.
I have good news for somebody
here tonight, because your time of favor has come; your enemies will become
your servants.
So number one, when the time of
favor comes, God will arise.
Number two, he will show mercy.
I can go through the scriptures
from the beginning to the end, to show you all those who received mercy from
the Lord what were the outcome.
But the bible says something in
Lamentation 3 v 22 - 23 he says it is of the mercies of the Lord that we are
not consumed, thank God it is renewed every morning. But for the mercy of God
how many of us will be alive today?
If God has not been merciful unto
us; many of us were born into a family where the father probably had six or
seven wives.
And out of the six or seven wives
maybe five of them are witches and maybe your mummy alone is the only who
didn't know anything at all and yet the Almighty God preserved your life.
How many people are in that
category? Let me hear you shout halleluiah!
It is of the mercy of the Lord
that we are not consumed and because of that mercy that is why you are going to
get your breakthrough tonight. Because when you read Mark 1 v 40 -45 the Bible
tells us the story of a leper who came to Jesus Christ and said I know you can
make me clean if you are willing.
In order words I know you have
the power, but I am not even sure I qualify for a miracle, the Bible says Jesus
Christ did something very great, he touched the leper.
And the Bible says you must not
touch a leper, because if you touched a leper you yourself will become unclean.
But the one, who made the law, broke the law. Why?
Because they said he was moved by
compassion. Mercy moved Him. Tonight every law that is against you shall be
broken because God will show you mercy in Jesus name.
In Romans 9 v 15 - 16 the Bible
says God said I will be merciful on whom I will be merciful (and am sure I am
the one He is talking to now)...
I will have compassion on whom I
will have compassion. It is therefore not of him that runeth, nor of him that
willeth but of God that showeth mercy.
Nobody succeeds in this world
except God had mercy on him and he will have mercy on you tonight in Jesus
name.
I am going to take just one case
study to show you things that will happen when a man is operating under divine
favor.
And the example I am going
to use is Joseph, there are several
things I can tell you about Joseph.
In fact I wrote a whole book on
him, on the faithfulness of God (if you want you can go to CRM bookshop and you
get the book) it is a whole book, but tonight am not going to go over a whole
book, I am going to mention seven things that will happen to somebody who is
operating under divine favor.
Number one: You cannot kill a man
operating under divine favor, nobody can kill him. Genesis 37 v 19- 20 the bible says when the brothers
of Joseph saw him coming, what was it they said? behold the dreamer comes, let
us kill him.
They said let us kill him, I mean
ten big men decided that the time has come for a young boy to be killed but
they forgot something, they forgot that this man was operating under divine
favor.
I want to assure every one of you
here tonight, you will not die before your date. How do I know? Because
Deuteronomy 32 v 39 the Almighty God said I am God and there is no one else, he
said I am the only one who can kill, and I am the only one who can make alive.
And he said there is no man who
can deliver out of my hand, in other words no one can kill. Nobody can kill
anybody God does not kill and I can assure you; God is not going to kill you at
all.
So when God arises when there are
enemies who have made up their minds that they want to kill you and then God
arises what will happen? Deuteronomy 28 v 27 And God will cause the enemies
that rise against you to be smitten before your face.
Do you know what that one means?
you are standing still, enemies arose against you and while you are watching
you just see the enemies collapsing. You don't have to do anything all! God
will cause the enemies that rise up against you to be smitten before your face,
he said when they come against you in one way they will flee seven ways.
When God arises for you nobody
can kill you, the Bible say in Isaiah 54 v 17 he says no weapon fashioned
against you shall prosper. If God arises for you, every weapon of the enemies
will be neutralized.
The Lord said there is someone
here tonight, he said all you have left is faith in God, he asked me to tell
you that will be enough.
Daddy said there is someone here
tonight, he said the doctors are confused about your case he asked me to tell
you I will heal you all the same.
Isaiah 41 v 10 - 13 God says I
will help you, he said I will hold you by the right hand and I will help you.
He said those who are incensed against you, will be as nothing, he said you
will look for them, you won't even find them.
When God arises for you, those
who says they want to kill you, they will scatter and that is going to happen
tonight in Jesus name:
Number two, when a man is
operating under divine favor, not only can you not kill him, you cannot kill
his dreams. There are several people who just like Joseph had some very big
dreams. Big dreams! In Genesis 37 v 5
-11 Joseph had a dream.
Then he told his brothers, even
an idiot could interpret the dream; this little boy said the dream I had is
that all you my brothers you are going to bow down before me.
And the brother said, "You!
We will see". Then he had another dream, again he dreamt, and this time he
said not even just the brother; my father and my mother they too they are going
to be bowing down, so they said "alright we will see".
When they saw him coming they say
we will kill him and when he dies his dreams will die with him.
Many of us when we are young we
have wonderful dreams, some of us by now as we are getting old, we begin to
wonder what is going to happen to those dreams. I have good assurance for you,
if you are operating under divine favor; those dream as big as they were they
will come to past.
Because In Genesis 50 v 15 - 21
those brothers, the same brothers, who wanted to kill Joseph and kill his
dreams, came, fell down before him and they say we will be your servant.
Am assuring someone here tonight,
all those who have ganged up against you who say they must destroy your dreams;
very soon they will come and bow down before you, why? Because when a man is
operating under divine favor, God arises for him.
The Lord said there is someone
here again tonight, who is asking the question again and again, when will the
battle be over? The Lord asked me to tell you very soon.
Psalm 33 v 10-11 the Bible says
that the Lord bring the counsel of the hidden to nothing, he makes the devices
of the people of none effect but the counsel of the Lord shall stand forever.
So it doesn't matter what they
planned against you, it doesn't matter their evil imagination, as long as God is
on your side the original plan of God for your life shall be fulfilled in Jesus
name.
I have told you this story
before, but I will say it because of those who are listening all over the world
who had never heard it.
In 1951 in my little village but
it's no longer little glory be to God.
It was a small village, in those days only two Lorries come to town per
day, one is Austin the other is Bedford and you can tell by the sound they
make.
At that time I can tell you the
total number of people with pairs of shoe in the whole village; they were very
few, I know the headmaster had one, the king had one, the catholic priest had
one and some other people so you don't get the number.
And so the Anglican bishop from
Ibadan came to visit our village and we in the primary school we lined up to
receive him, the village hunters didn't go to the farm, they were firing their
deign guns to give the Bishop gun salute. And he drove in a very new black car.
Remember, only two Lorries come
to the village, here comes a car. He was wearing the robe of a bishop,
beautiful robe and when he was coming out of his car, I looked at his shoes, oh
God! It was shining beautiful, I have never seen anything like that before, my
mouth was wide open, and then when it was time for him to go, every farmer were
giving him gifts; chicken, yams, eggs.
When I got home that day, I told
my mother, I said mama; I am going to be a bishop.
That was 1951, then I grew up,
went to school and dropped out of church for years, I didn't even go to church
at all talk less of Bishop.
But as God will have it somewhere
along the line, He met me, He saved my soul, one way or the other He promoted
me and I became General Overseer.
Then in 1981 I was visiting my
village as General Overseer, and they arranged for the school children to line
up the route, the hunters were firing their guns, I drove in a brand new car
and as I was about to come down from the car I looked at my shoes.
Let somebody shout halleluiah!
Thirty years after I had the
dream it came to past, your dream too, everyone of them shall come to past in
Jesus name.
Number three, when you are
operating under divine favor, at home you will shine. According to Genesis 37v3
among all the children of his father, Joseph was special, what made him
special?
They said he was the son of the
old age, but that is the excuse. He was special because God made him special.
Tell your neighbor, you may not know it but I am special to God.
So his father made him a coat of
many colors, Isaiah 60 v 1-2 he said arise and shine, why? For your light is
come and the glory of the Lord has risen upon you, it is not anything
particular, that made Joseph special, it is the glory of God upon his life.
In 1 Samuel 16 v 11 - 13 when God
wanted to pick a king in the house of Jesse, he picked David, David shone among
his brethren.
The Lord says I should tell a
particular girl, he said because I reserve till the last, he said your
celebration will be superior to those who have gone before you.
The Lord said there is someone
here tonight; he said very soon you will know the meaning of all things work
together for good to them that love God.
The Lord says there is someone
here tonight; he said you have been relegated to the back seat, he said I will
bring you to the front row.
In 1 Samuel 16 v 15-18 you will
discover that when an evil spirit began to trouble king Saul, and his servant
told him, 'sir you need a musician to
play so that this evil forces will leave you alone' and he said 'okay, get me
someone'.
They said 'we know one man who
was an extremely good musician and he was a valiant man of valor' they were
talking about David. Even at home he was
already shinning.
And in the name that is above
every other name, from now on you too will begin to shine at home.
Number four, when you are
operating under divine favor even in strange land, he will shine. When Joseph
got to Egypt in Genesis 39 v 1 -6 the Bible says almost immediately he arrived
in Potiphar house he began to shine, Potiphar just took a look at him and saw
the way things were going and said I
hand over everything to you.
How do you hand over everything
to a prisoner? a prisoner that you have just bought , a prisoner that you don't
know anything about. But because God was arising for him abroad he was
shinning.
The Bible says in Psalm 121 v 8
God says I will keep your coming and your going out. In other words, it doesn't
matter where you go, you will still shine there.
In Daniel 1 v 8-20 the Bible
tells us when Shedrack, Meshach, Abednego and Daniel got to the foreign land
where they were taken to slavery, the Almighty God showed them favor and by the
time they finished their training they were ten times more better than other
wise men. Abroad they shine!
In Genesis 24 v 1 - 14 Isaac was
in a foreign land and there was farming in the Land and because he obeyed God,
God made him to shine at the time that there was famine in the land; he
prospered so much he became the envy of the entire nation.
I have good news for someone here
tonight, very soon the whole nation will know about you.
I have told this story before,
several years ago, when I was still a lecturer at the university of Lagos,
there was this conference of applied mathematician in Canada and I happened to
be one of the two people sent from Nigeria to go and represent us, and I felt very
big because Nigeria is sending two people and they included me.
When we got there for the opening
night, the man who was to make the opening remark (I think at that time I had
published about 12 papers, it is your publication that they use in promoting
you) but when they introduce the man who was going to do the opening talk they
said he has published a hundred and fifty papers, I said what am I doing here?
Then he began to talk on what he
called the mathematic of the rain. And I know two days later they were going to
call me to stand before all these people to present my paper, what am I going
to say in the presence of somebody who is talking about the mathematics of the
rain?
I tell you a secret , I prayed hard; " Almighty God when it's my
time to present my paper don't let this man come", But when the time came
he was seating in the front row. Probably he came because I was so young, I am
talking of 1976 or so, and I was afraid, because when somebody has finished
preparing papers, others begin to ask him questions.
So it is not the presentation I
am afraid of, it is how am going to answer their questions.
Then I presented my paper and
everybody got up and they began to clap including that man!
I am prophesying to someone here
today, anywhere you go, you will prosper.
Number five, when you are
operating under divine favor, whatever he does prospers Genesis 39 v 2 the
Bible says in Potiphar house Joseph was a prosperous man, then Genesis 39 v 21
- 23, even when Joseph landed in prison, again, God was with him and whatever
he did prospered.
When a man is operating under
divine favor, anything he touches will begin to succeed, he will begin to
prosper.
Thank you father, the Lord said
there is someone here tonight; he said that which was introduced into you while
you were sleeping had been removed tonight.
Daddy says there is someone here
tonight; he said the cause of your delay has been dealt with right now.
Jeremiah 17 v 7 -8, the Bible
tells us that when a man put his trust in the Lord he will be like a tree
planted by the river side he said whatsoever he does shall prosper.
Do you know that you can sell
pure water and become a billionaire? If God is with you, anything you touch
will prosper.
You can sell fire wood and become
a billionaire, whatever he does shall prosper. In the name that is above every
other name, your prosperity begins now.
Number six, when a man is
operating under divine favor, his promotion is certain, there may be a delay
like in Genesis 40 v 1 - 23 the Bible tells us that after Joseph interpreted
the dreams to some people and he told the one that was going to be in the court
of Pharaoh he said when you get back to your position please remember me, but
the bible says the man just forgot him, for two years he forgot the one who had
done him good, but that is because the time wasn't right yet, when the time
came, the one who has forgotten remembered.
There are many of us who are here
tonight, we have done good to several people, but in our times of trial they
have forgotten us.
They don't even want to see us,
they don't want to help us at all, but I have good news for you; things are
about to change.
All those who should help you,
who have forgotten about you, tonight they will have a dream, God will send
them a dream so that by the time they wake up they will be looking for you.
When a man is operating under
divine favor, his promotion may be delayed but it will surely come to pass.
In Genesis 41 v 38-40, the Bible
says finally they brought Joseph out of the prison, and Pharaoh said we can't
find another man as wise as this, the spirit of God is in him, therefore let
put him in charge.
The Lord said there as you begin
to pay your tithe fully he was so move you from not enough to more than enough.
Those who say that we will soon
see his end shall wait in vain.
Thank you Lord, the Lord said
there is someone here tonight, anytime it is your time they will say no more,
he asked me to tell you; I will change all that now.
The Lord said there is someone
here tonight; he said for the rest of the year, one success will follow another
in quick succession for you.
Isaiah 75 v 6-7 tells us that
promotion does not come from the east or from the west or from the south he
said God is the judge, He raises one and pulls down another.
God the great promoter will bring
your promotion speedily in Jesus name.
Like I told you before in 1
Samuel 2 v 7-8 when the Almighty God decides to promote you, he keeps on
promoting, he can take you to any height, and he can take you to place you
never dreamt possible. He just keeps on promoting, after all his arm is an
everlasting hands.
If human being promotes you they
can bring you down, if news paper promotes you one day they will turn against
you the same people who are writing good thing about you today, with great joy
they will write evil things about you. Because they know it is evil news that
will sell their papers.
It is not they are wicked, it is
just their job. But when God promotes, you he keeps promoting you forever.
And I have good news for somebody
here; your promotion is beginning right now.
Am sure you will remember the
story of one lecturer in one university, the Head of department said because he
refused to join a secret society he said this fellow will never be promoted as
long as he is the head of department.
This young man who gave his life
to Jesus Christ mentioned the case and we cried to the Almighty God.
After all the Almighty God said
if you have faith and you doubt not, you will say to this mountain, mountain be
thou removed and be thou cast into the sea and it shall be so. If the Head of
department decided to make himself a mountain, we tell mountain to move.
Every mountain blocking your way
tonight shall move in Jesus name.
And suddenly there was a coup a
new government came and the new government for one reason or other decides to
remove all professors who were head of department at that time.
And the Head of department came.
And the head of department said 'I want to see the files of all those who are
under me and they couldn't find the file of this man.
The master has seen to it that
the file was well hidden. They kept searching and finally they found the file
and found out that there had been no recommendation for that man for more ten
years.
No single recommendation, because
they file was hidden and the new boos said there is only one way to compensate
him and he gave him double promotion. Everything that had been denied you shall
be returned seven folds in Jesus name.
Finally number seven: When a man
is operating under divine favor, he will surely reach the top. There is no way
you can keep down somebody who is operating under divine favor.
In Genesis 41 v 44 the bible said
Pharaoh said to Joseph, I am Pharaoh and I am saying to you Joseph in the land
of Egypt nobody will lift his hand or foot without your permission.
He said they must all obey me and
I am saying I am taking the back seat, you rule, nobody will do anything
without your permission.
Deuteronomy 28 v 13 when you are
operating under divine favor, you will be head and not tail, you won't stop
until you reach the top and God is talking to someone here tonight.
In 1 Samuel 22 v 1 -2 even when
David found himself in the cave of Adullam and al lot of vagabonds, people in
distress people in need, people who had problems, gathered themselves together
to him, he was still their captain, even in the cave he was captain.
Then later on in 2Samuel 2 v 4 in
spite of everything that the enemies had done
he was anointed again to be king of Judah, then in 2 Samuel 5 v 1 -3
finally everybody came and said listen you are to be king of Israel.
I say it one more time, that goal
where God is taking you, you will reach there in Jesus name.
The Lord says by the time the sun
rises tomorrow, it will bring you a new break through.
Daddy says there is someone here
tonight; he said I will give you a taste of exceeding great joy.
Daddy says there is someone here
tonight, he said when next you share your testimony people will say surely God
is great.
By the time you get to Mark 10 v
46 -52 you hear Bartimeus saying something about Jesus, he says Jesus thou son
of David.
Now the bible tells us that Jesus
is the king of kings and yet the bible records for us that David is the father
of king of kings, now that is absolute top.
He started asking among his
brethren, he became captain over vagabonds in the cave of Adullam, then he
became king over Judah, then he became king over Israel and then he kept on
rising until he became father of the King of kings.
I have good news for somebody
here today, in the name that is above every other names, I will see you at the
top, because that is where I am going.
I am going to the top, anybody
going to the top with me? I will see you there in Jesus name.
This is the reason why anybody
who has any common sense at all will not want to offend God.
Because he is the only one who
can give you divine favor, He is the only one who can make sure that nobody can
kill you, He is the only one who can make sure nobody can kill your dreams, He
is the only one who can make sure you shine at home, He is the only one who can
make sure you shine abroad, He is the only one who can make sure that even if
your promotion is delayed, it will still come to past.
He is the only one who can make
sure you will finally reach the top.
That is why in Genesis 39 v 7 -9
when a woman the wife of Potiphar, tried to entice Joseph into committing sin,
Joseph said no way.
The woman said nobody will know,
I am the mistress of this house, my husband is away, whatever I say is final
and when I ask everybody to clear out of the house, they will clear. So we will
do this thing secretly nobody will know.
Joseph said I am not talking of
your husband; I am talking of God, how can I do this thing and sin against God?
Your husband has done great thing
for me, he has left everything in my hand, but he is only an instrument in the
hand of God, I cannot dare offend God.
Many at times some people they
think when they look right and they don't see any one, they look left and they
don't see anyone and the door is locked. They think everything is okay; I can
do whatever I like now. God is watching!
I am sure you heard the testimony
of a member of the choir, not in our church but in another church. The pastor
has agreed with her to go to a hotel and do all kind of things.
And they got to the hotel, they
were about to enter the room, again the pastor looked round right and he looked
left nobody knows us here, but as they were about to enter the room, the girl
said to the pastor, we have looked right, we have looked left, she said but we
didn't look up. She said God is watching. That was how she escaped.
Do you know God is watching you?
And it is good news that is why the enemy cannot reach you without him knowing.
If He is watching you, that is why he can keep your going in and your coming
out.
If he is watching you that is why
he can monitor what you are doing so that he can make it to prosper. If he is
watching you that is why he can make you to find favor anywhere you go.
But because he is watching, that
is why you cannot afford to offend him,
no matter well you locked the door, you can't lock God out, he himself is the
door, when he wants to come in he doesn't need a key.
That is why people have asked me
again and again, why do you keep on hammering on holiness? I said 'I have seen
a little in my few years in this world, I am seventy years old now.
I have seen people rise and fall,
I have seen people promoted by God crashing to the ground. Becoming nothing,
why? Because they offend God,
I can assure you of one thing,
when I became born again and I was running up and down, winning soul, Doing one
program after the other, some people says take it easy that is how they always
start, very soon he will go down.
I told them then others may go
down, this one is not going to go down. And I am telling you brethren you have
not seen anything yet, I am going to go on higher and higher. Why because I
have learnt the secret; as long as there is no quarrel between me and God the
rest is easy.
Everybody can be against me if
God is for me, I am more than conqueror, that is why I am appealing seriously
to those of you who are here tonight. Because this is a very special night
indeed, if you are still leaving in sin, it is time to repent, if you have not
given your life to Jesus Christ before, come and do so tonight.
If you say you are a Christian
and you are still living in sin; you are a backslider, come and give your life
back to Jesus Christ. Holiness is the master key, you live holy, the rest is settled.
This is a very special night; a
night of favor and the Almighty God will have divine favor on you if you
repent.
Call on the Almighty God, ask him
to be merciful unto you, ask him to forgive you your sins, ask him to save your
soul and the rest of us lets stretch our hands to all these people and
intercede for them, that God the savior will have mercy on each and every one
of them, that God will forgive them and he will watch them clean in his blood.
Ask God to be merciful unto you,
ask God to forgive you your sins ask God to put your name in the book of life
so that you too can begin to enjoy divine favor ... in Jesus mighty name we
have prayed.
My father and my God I want to
thank you for all these people who have come forward tonight, thank you for
your word, I thank you because you promise that whosoever will come unto you,
you will in no wise cast out. These people have come to you now, please receive
them in Jesus name.
Your blood that cleanses from all
sins let that blood wash away their sins in Jesus name. Today as you save their
souls write their name in the book of life in Jesus name. Beginning from now
anytime they call on you, please answer them in Jesus name.
And let them begin to enjoy
divine favor in Jesus name. Every backslider that has come back to you tonight,
please restore full in Jesus name, and don't let them ever go back to the world
in Jesus name. Thank you Almighty God, in Jesus mighty name we have prayed.

you who are in front here, I want to promise you one thing, by the special
grace of God I will be praying for you, so I am going to need your name, your
address and your prayer request. I promise you I will be praying for you.
The rest of us while we wait for
our brother to be attended to, why don't you thank God for the mercy of God
that have kept you till this moment, if you know how many times the enemies
have tried to kill you, if you know how many meetings that the enemies have
held at night concerning you and God destroyed their plans, you will be
grateful to God.
So go ahead, begin to praise God,
begin to magnify his holy name, for being merciful to you, for his
faithfulness, for his support, for loving me, for standing by me, for helping me,
for supporting me... in Jesus mighty name we have prayed.
