This is going to be a
wonderful night.
It is going to be a night
somebody here will never forget. Whenever I go out of the camp to hold a Holy
Ghost service, there is something I always tell those who are coming for the
first time, one of which I am about to repeat here tonight and that is when you
go through the scriptures, you will discover that almost all those who got a
miracle from Jesus got it by faith.
Jesus would ask them
"do you belief I can do this?" If they say "yes we
believe", then He will turn to them and say "be it unto you according
to your faith". Or He will say your faith had made thee whole.
Tonight without any doubt
God is here.
How do i know?
He says where two or three
are gather in My name I will be there, here we are more than two or three so I
know He is here.
Second reason i know He is
here is because when He called me to full time ministry He said "Son where
you go I will go with you.
So He is here right now.
So God is here, by the grace of God I am here, I am ready. By His grace He has
prepared me for tonight.
Now the question is are
you ready? When do you want your miracle? When we come back in January? When do
you want your miracles? Be it unto you according to your faith.
All I am going to do in
the next few minutes is to encourage your faith to grow, as soon as I have done
that the rest is between you and God and I am sure you will never forget
tonight.
Isaiah 7 v 14 Therefore
the Lord Himself shall give you a sign, behold a virgin shall conceived and
bear a son and shall call his name Emmanuel.
Tonight we want to talk
briefly on Signs and Wonders.
Now what is a Sign?
A sign is an evidence -
that what you claim to be is true. Pharaoh said in Exodus 5 v 1 -2 he said I
don't who is the Lord, I am not going to let Israel go. Then God said alright I
will give you a sign; I will kill all the first born in the land of Egypt in
one night and then maybe you will still say I don't know you.
Exodus 12 v 29- 32 after
God
has shown Pharaoh a sign
he is the one who begged Israel to please go.
And I am prophesying to
someone straight away all the Pharaohs who says you will not go, God will show
them a sign.
Nebuchadnezzar said in
Daniel 3 v 14-15 he said to Shadrach , Meshach and Abednego, if you don't bow
and worship my idol, i will throw you into the fiery furnace and who is that
God that will deliver you out of my hand.
So God showed him a sign,
in Daniel 3 v 24-29 the same Nebuchadnezzar said there is no God like the God
of Meshach, Shadrach and Abednego.
As the Lord lives before
the end of this month, all those who have been saying where is your God? They
will come and bow and say there is no God like your God.
Now what is a
Wonder?
A friend of mine once said
a wonder is that which causes you to wonder. In other words, a wonder is a
miracle so big that your mouth will fall open involuntarily.
In Act 3 v 1 - 10 when a
man who has been lame for forty years suddenly began to leap, to walk and to
praise God, everybody in the church began to look at him with amazement.
I am decreeing right now
to everyone of you here tonight and those of you who are listening all over the
world, God will turn you to a wonder.
So as we see in this
passage, he said the Lord himself will give you a sign and the sign He will
give is that a virgin will conceive and bear a son.
And when you say a virgin
will conceive the first thing that will come to anybody's mind is impossible!
So God says I will give you a sign by making the impossible possible.
In the name that is above
every other name, in the life of everyone here tonight and all of you who are
hearing my voice, every impossibility will become possible tonight.
Now the life of any man
can be broken into three compartments:
Physical,
Social and
Spiritual.
Tonight I want to
encourage you to increase your faith in the various compartment of a man's life
so that you can grab the God of wonders and go with your own wonder
tonight.
When God said to Abraham
in Genesis 18 v 9 -14 that a ninety year old woman would bear a son, Sarah
laughed because inside her she was saying impossible.
But there is a God who
doesn't want to hear the word impossible, as a matter of fact the moment he
hears the word impossible he rises on his throne and said let me show you a
sign.
Whenever somebody tells
you that your case is impossible, begin to rejoice because there is a God in
heaven with whom nothing shall be impossible.
If He can make a virgin to
conceive then what is the problem about a woman who is married? After all she
has a man. And I am talking about a God who can produce children out of stones.
According to Mathew 3 v 9
He can produce children from stones, so if you are here tonight and the doctors
have told you like they told the lady who testified earlier on; that one of
your tube is not working and there is even something in your body that will not
allow you to conceive and you saw her carrying a set of twins, then that should
tell you there is still a God on His throne who can make the impossible
possible.
Some of you who are here,
you are here when a sister was sharing her testimony, the doctors have told her
she can never carry a baby till nine months, they said the womb was too small
so latest five month the baby must come down, she wrote we prayed and God told
me she would have her child.
And I wrote back to her
and that month she became pregnant, this time she carried this thing to
maturity and when the time came to deliver she gave birth to four at a
time; two boys and two girls from a womb that they say cannot carry one, the
Almighty God put four there.
There is somebody here
today that which they say is impossible will become possible tonight in Jesus
name.
So when God says I will
make a virgin conceive He is saying anyone who is barren here tonight can also
have their own wonders before they go. Now a virgin conceiving is totally
unscientific, it is beyond science and medicine and so a virgin conceiving
should tell somebody that doctors have called incurable is very easy with the
One who can make the virgin conceive, because this is a God that is not
controlled by science and medicine.
Thank you father, the Lord
says there is someone here tonight, he said every word coming towards you
tonight is not a prophecies but a decree.
John 9 v 32-33 the
Bible tells us of a man who was born blind and Jesus opened his eye and people
began to argue whether it happened or didn't happened. The man said since the
world began, it has never been said, it has never been heard that somebody
opened the eye of someone born blind.
There is someone who can
open the eye of the blind, there is someone who can make the virgin conceived,
that someone is here tonight. So I want to ask you a question; have you a
physical problem? Do you believe that the God of wonders can solve that
problem? If you believe, be it unto you according to your faith.
The second aspect of a
man's life is the social aspect, that is when you begin to talk about career,
promotion, getting married and things like that.
But they all come down
basically to one underline factor. And that has to do with material wellbeing.
Why do I want to rise to
the top in my position of work? Because if I get to the top the salary will be
different. They asked a young man not too long ago, why are you not getting
married? he said "there is no money in my pocket".
Making the virgin conceive
actually means producing something out of nothing. There is a God who can
produce water out of the rock according to Exodus 17 v 1-6 He brought
water out of the rock.
There is God who can take
the last and turn it to the first. You know the story of the widow of Zarephath
in 1king... There is a God who can take the little you have and keep on
multiplying it. He has done it before in 2king 4 v 1 -7 He told the widow to
keep on pouring the little oil that she had and it will keep on flowing until
there is no more room to contain it.
This God who can multiply
the little and turn it to much, this God who can produce something out of nothing,
He is here tonight and He is now asking you, do you have a financial problem?
Do you believe that this God of wonders can solve that problem? Do you believe?
If you believe, be it unto you according to your faith.
I have told you the story
of my father in the Lord when he was alive, when things were very hard and he
went to God in prayer and God told him the pot of stew that your wife has just
prepared; tell her to keep ditching from it every day, not looking into the
pot. Just keep on ditching it.
For days mama will ditch;
today it is beef, tomorrow it is chicken, the following day it will be goat
meat. She kept on ditching until one day curiosity overcame her and she
looked into the pot and the pot became empty.
Now i know you don't
believe that, you don't think it can happen, be it unto you according to your
faith.
But I have also told you
the story of what happened to me, they didn't tell me it happened to me. I went
to preach in Onitsha and was returning, I got to Asaba there was no fuel, I
said no problem.
I will get fuel when I get
to Benin. I got to Benin no fuel, I said no problem. I will get fuel in Ore, I
got to Ore no fuel, by now my tank was reading reserve.
Almighty God what do I do?
It was Sunday evening and I must go to my lectures on Monday morning in Lagos.
And the Lord spoke to me
and said son, take your eye off the gauge and drive on. And i drove all the way
on reserve for ore till i parked in my house in Surulere. There is a God who
can bring something out of nothing.
Is there anybody
here tonight who is in need of a major financial breakthrough, and you
believe that the God of wonders can do it for you, be it unto you according to
your faith.
Thank you Father, the Lord
said there is someone here tonight, He said you have been hearing of something
called a new song, He said you will sing your own very soon.
Daddy says I should tell
somebody tonight, He said don't be afraid, you are not going to die you are
going to complete the assignment I have given you.
The Lord says there is
someone here tonight, He said it is my grace that brought you to where you are,
my grace will take you to where I want you to be.
The Lord said there is
someone here tonight, He said you need just one more miracle for your joy to be
full, He said you will get it tonight.
The Lord said there is
someone here tonight, He said the night has been much longer than you expected,
He said wait till you see what I have for you in the morning.
The Lord asked me to tell
someone here tonight, He asked me to make your dream much bigger than they are
now, He said because I will fulfill all of them.
Now the third aspect of a
man's life is the spiritual aspect.
Almost everything we do in
this world is controlled by spirit, the spiritual controls the physical. Before
trouble came to Job, there was something that happened in the spiritual.
There was a meeting
between God and the devil where they discussed him. It was their discussion
that brought all kind of problems to Job, some of us are where we are today
because of some certain spiritual forces.
A blessing is a spiritual
force, when your parents bless you, spiritually they are sending assistance to
you. I have always told you, that I am where I am today by the grace of God and
by the prayer of my mother.
Anytime I did something
that pleased her when I was very small, she would say to me, you this boy you
will call one person, two hundred will answer. I didn't understand what that
meant. How can I call one fellow and two hundred will answer? But today if I
say pastor come; and I didn't mention the name of the pastor, how many people
do you think will come running?
Well I am your father in
the Lord maybe I should use this opportunity to make pronouncement.
I say to you who are my
true children, from now on you will call one person two hundred will answer.
Just as a blessing is a
spiritual force, a curse is also a spiritual curse. I don't want to go into all
the details about that, but one thing is clear, the God who can make the virgin
conceived has a spiritual ability that can deal with all spirit.
In Mark 5 v 1-20 we see
the story of the mad man of Gadarean, the devil knew that this man had a
glorious destiny , that the plan of God for that fellow is to be an evangelist.
He sent six thousand demons to bind him up. But one day the Almighty God who
can do all things came, overcome all the demons and restored the destiny of
this man.
Do you belief that
whatever may be your spiritual problem, the God of wonders can solve them, do
you believe? Be it unto you according to your faith.
If we ask you, can the
shadow of a fisher man heal? You will say impossible, but ask Peter. Can the
handkerchief of a lawyer cast out demons? You will say how come? Ask Paul.
Can the handkerchief of a
mathematician produce signs and wonder, you will say how come? But you
have heard testimonies. You will hear testimonies; you will share your own
testimonies too.
Thank you Father, the Lord
said there is someone here tonight, He said you have wept for months, he asked
me to tell you that you will laugh for years.
The Lord said there is
someone here today, He said in your family in the year that is coming, there
will be more than one thanksgiving service.
The Lord said there is
someone here this night, He said you have enjoyed miracles up till now, He said
get ready for wonders.
The Lord asked me to tell
those of you who are here tonight, He said He is going to release unique
miracles to seventy of you.
When He said seventy, so I
feel that I can try and negotiate. Do you know what a unique miracle is, it is
a miracle that had never happened before and will never happen again. Seventy
of you,
how many of you
think you will be one of them? Be it unto you according to your faith.
Please listening
carefully, God is talking to one particular person, please listen carefully.
The Lord said "your
cry has always been God, make me your divine treasure". He ask me to tell
you, He is offering you a deal tonight, please listening carefully, this is
very important. He said within the next six month he will double your
fortune and you yourself knows that this can a only happen by God. Now
here is the deal and listen carefully he said fifty percent of the increase you
must return it to Him. He said this will be the test to find out whether you
are a really ready for great things.
Whoever that fellow
is, we will see within the next six month.
Now Luke 1 v 34- 37 Mary
was born, she is now a virgin young woman and God was about to fulfilled the prophecy
that He gave through Isaiah and so the Angel came and told her" woman you
are now going to have a boy and...
Thank you Father, the Lord
ask me to tell someone in particular, He said you will understand that the tied
is already turning.
So the Angel told Mary,
you are that virgin the prophet is talking about you are going to have a baby
boy, He is going to be the Son of the Most High and so on and so forth.
Then Mary said how can
this be? I don't know a man and the angel said the Holy Ghost. It is the Holy
Ghost that is going to perform the wonder in your life.
You see there are certain
things when God said He is going to do something, it is so big that your mind
cannot even contain it. How will it happen? Not by power, not by might but by
Spirit said the Lord of host.
Through the power of
the Holy Spirit, everything your heart desires you will receive it tonight in
Jesus name.
Thank God of the testimony
of that young man, I was seating down there, the choir was rehearsing, they
were about to finish and I saw a little action towards my right.
I saw a woman
pushing a man in a wheel chair, she wanted to come to where I was seating, the
guard said no way. Suddenly the Lord spoke to me, "ask him to be
brought", so I said bring him, I called the one standing by me, go and
bring that man and they brought him.
I didn't pray, I
just did what God asked me to do. I laid my hand on him and I said the desire
of your hands is granted you. Whatever that desire is and I left. And he got up
immediately! You heard his testimony.
May I raise my hand
towards you and say to all you who are here, whatever may be the desire o your
heart receive it right now in Jesus name.
Who qualify for signs and
wonders?, Mary was a virgin not a harlot. She was pure, she was holy.
Matthew 7 v 6 says you
don't cast pearls before swine. People like Daniel, Shadrach, Meshach and
Abednego who got signs and wonder kept themselves pure.
People have asked me why
do you keep hammering on holiness? Holiness is the master key.
That is the master key to
signs and wonder.
That is why I want to
encourage you tonight, because you are going to pray in a moment and whatever
prayer you pray here tonight, God is going to answer it. Be it unto you
according to your faith.
Before we pray, get out of
your sins! Give your life to Jesus Christ, let His blood wash you clean, let
His blood wipe away your sins and then you can cry to him and he will hear.
David said if I regard
iniquity in my heart, the Lord will not hear me, the Bible says the Hand of the
Lord is not shorten that He cannot save, neither is His Ear is heavy that He
cannot hear, but He said sin can block the way between you and your God, that
even when you are crying, He won't hear, if He doesn't hear, how can he
answer?
That is why i want
to call those of you who have not given your life to Jesus Christ to come
forward now, that is why we have arranged in the inside the auditorium several
mini altars, they are about thirty six of them scattered all over.
Each one has a flag on top
of it, so when I say come to the Altar, just go to the nearest of the altars to
you and there the ministers of God will attend to you.
When I am praying for
those who come to the front, the prayer will reach you there, so I am going to
count from one to ten I am telling you in the mighty name of Jesus Christ,
things are going to change from tonight.
So if you want to give
your live to Jesus, come now, as you come begin to pray, begin to talk to Jesus
Christ, ask Him to save your soul, ask Him to forgive you your sins, promise
Him that from now on you will live for Him.
He will become your Lord
and Savior. Begin to talk to Him, ask Him to be merciful unto you, ask Him to
cleanse you in His blood, tell Him from now on you will serve Him.... in Jesus
mighty name we have prayed.
Savior I want to thank you
1 want to thank you for your word and I want to thank you for all these your
children who are standing before the various altars.
You promised Lord that
whosoever will come unto You, You will in no wise cast out. These Your children
have come now, please receive them in Jesus name. Forgive all their sins in
Jesus name, let Your blood wipe away all their sins in Jesus name, save their
souls and write their names in the book of life in Jesus name.
Tonight Father, give
them their own signs and wonders and anytime they call upon you, Father answer
them by fire and let them serve you till the end, in Jesus mighty name we have
prayed. Amen.
All of you in the various
altars, I want you to listen to me carefully, I want to thank God for what He
has done in your life I want to promise you that from now on I will be praying
for you, so I am going to need your name, your address and your prayer request
and I promise you I will be praying for you.
So the counselors will
give you cards where you are now, please fill them before you go back to your
seat.
