Shake hand with
two or three people, and tell them, God will send help to you tonight.
And then, you may
please be seated.
Alright!

is going to be well with you tonight, say amen loud and clear.
And those of you
in the old arena, even though I cannot see you, God can see and He will grant
your request also in Jesus' name.
And those of you
in all the viewing centers, across the nation and across the world,you request
will be granted tonight in Jesus' name.
Isaiah chapter 41
from verse 10 to 13 (Isaiah 41 verse 10 to 13) - it is one of the passages in
the Bible written specially for me; because God is talking to me when He says,
Vs10: 'fear thou
not, for I Am with thee. Be not dismayed, for I Am thy God. I will strengthen
thee; yea I will help thee; yea I will uphold thee with the right hand of My
righteousness.
Vs11: Behold,
all they that were incensed against thee shall be ashamed and confounded: they
shall be as nothing; and they that strive with the shall perish.
Vs12: Thou
shalt seek them, and shalt not find then, even them that contented with thee:
they that war against thee shall be as nothing, and as a thing of nought.
Vs13: For I
the Lord thy God will hold thy right hand, saying unto thee, fear not; I will
help thee.
Helpers of Destiny
What is Destiny?
I think I told you
in May that destiny simply means, 'a plan of God for your life' - the purpose
for which He created you.
God never create
anyone without a purpose.
Jeremiah chapter 1
verses 4 and 5, God said, before I formed thee, I knew thee; While you are in
your mother's womb, I have already set you apart for Myself.
God is a Master
planner. He is an Architect. Before He builds at all, He draws the plan.
So, before He
created you, He had a plan.
In Romans chapter
9 verse 17, He said, Pharaoh, the reason I created you is to demonstrate my
power in you. the reason I raise you up to become a great king is that when I
drown you, then, people will know that I Am the King of kings.
In Luke chapter 1
verse 13 to 17: before John the Baptist was conceive at all, God said, he shall
be great.
Before he was
conceived, God said, my plan for this boy is that he shall be great.
Believe it or not,
there is someone here today, your destiny is to be great.
You are not in the
world by accident - no no - God has a purpose and that purpose is called your
Destiny.
Now, different
thing can happen to a man's destiny.
When the architect
draws a plan for a house, and they begin to build the house; there can be
alterations according to the will of the owner of the house.
Now, Psalm 33
verse 11 says, the counsel of the Lord shall stand.
However, the Bible
teaches that God is sovereign.
Psalm 115 verse 3
said, our God is in the heavens, He does has He pleases.
There is a proverb
that says: the man who made the pencil also made the eraser.
God is in the
heaven, He does has He pleases.
So, there is the
sovereignty of God; and then, there is the free-will of man - man can decide
what he want and what he does not want.
The combination of
these two can affect the destiny of a man.
In Ezekiel 33
verse 13 to 16, God said, if I say to the righteous, thou shall live, and then
the righteous begin to sin, God says, he will die.
Righteousness or
no righteousness, if you continue to sin after I say you will live, he will
die.
And God said, if I
say to the wicked, you are going to die and the wicked repent, and seizes to
sin, and restitute his ways, God said, he will live.
The sovereignty of
God; the free-will of man, can affect destiny.
As a matter of
fact, several things could happen to the destiny of man.
Destiny can be
aborted.
A woman can become
pregnant and the pregnancy can fall.
In Genesis chapter
4 verse 1 to 8; there was a young man called Abel who started very well to do
the will of God; his brother killed him.
So, we never
discover what exactly Abel could have become.
His destiny was
aborted.
In 1Samuel chapter
15 from verse 22 to 28, Saul the first king in Israel; his family was to be a
royal family forever; he disobeyed God and his destiny was aborted.
In Acts chapter 1
verse 15 to 20, the Bible spoke concerning Judas Iscariot, he said, his
bishoprick let somebody else take.
I pray for every
one of you here today, your destiny shall not be aborted.
Number two) Destiny
can be destroyed - Just destroyed.
A good example is
found in 1Samuel 31 verse 6.
When king Saul
died, all his sons died with him the same day including Jonathan.
Jonathan had
already reach an agreement with David; he said, the way things are going, I
don't think my father will remain king; but David you are going to be the king
and I will be your assistance.
But because of the
sin of his father; the destiny of Jonathan was destroyed.
Whatever is in
your family line that can destroy your destiny, I rebuked it today in Jesus'
name.
Destiny can be
truncated. Okay! Cut
short
In 1Samuel chapter
2 verse 30, God said to Eli; He said, I said indeed that you and your father's
house shall be priest forever. He said I said it.
I announced it to
you because that is My plan for you and your entire family forever.
But God said, now
I say, be far from me.
God said, the plan
I had for your family, I am tearing it.
In fact, if you read
that passage further down, God said, instead of his children becoming priest,
they will be coming to priest to beg for bread.
Whatever is going
to cause the destiny of your family to be truncated, I cancel it today in
Jesus' name.
Destiny can be
redeemed.
To be redeemed
means, you lost it and you got it back.
Somebody helped
you to buy it back.
Mark chapter 5
verse 1 to 20 tells us a story that you all know too well.
A mad man of
Gadarene who became an evangelist for Satan; because he was so mad, everyone
knew about is madness.
But when he came
in contact with Jesus Christ; the original plan of God that this man will be an
evangelist for Him was redeemed.
Occasionally you
find someone - a young man or a young woman - who everybody thought he was
going to become great suddenly began to mix with wrong friends; and going
forward, he begins to go backward.
When such people
come in contact with Jesus Christ, the Redeemer, He will redeem the destiny.
If your destiny
has been stolen, in the mighty name of Jesus Christ, it shall be redeemed
tonight.
Destiny can be
restored.
A very good
example is found in Daniel chapter 4 - you can read the whole chapter.
It is a story you
know; it about a king called Nebuchadnezzar - he offended God and the king
became an animal for seven years.
After seven years,
this God who is full of mercy restored him completely.
All the seven
years that he was mad, eaten grass like an animal, God preserved his throne -
nobody took his throne. Nobody said well, since there is no king let me become
king.
God kept the
destiny; after seven years, God restored the destiny.
I have good news
for someone, the goal that God has for you, you will begin to approach it from
today.
Destiny can be
reversed.
It can be reversed
positively.
There is a story
of a young man called Levi.
In Genesis 49 from
verse 1 to 7 when his father wanted to die, he placed a curse on him - he said,
he will become scattered.
But somehow, in
Numbers chapter 3 from verse 5 to 13, the one that the father said, he will be
scattered, the Almighty God said no, I want him near me.
The Almighty God
reserve the right to do whatever He pleases.
A destiny that has
been cursed, God said, I cancel the curse; I draw this boy near.
If there is a
curse that has been disturbing your destiny, from whatever source, in the Name
that is above every other name, I cancel that curse tonight.
And then, destiny
can be helped (which is where we are actually going tonight).
It is just that I
want the sermon to be in two part.
I want the sermon
to be in two part - the introduction and then, the real business.
Destiny can be
helped; and just one classical example will do.
In 2Kings chapter
5 from verse 1 to 14; we have the story of a man called Naaman; he was destined
to die a leper.
Oh! He succeeded
in everything but his destiny is that his joy will never be full because every
time he remembers his leprosy, every joy he may have will vanish.
I pray tonight,
whatever is not allowing your joy to be full, before the sun rises tomorrow, it
will be gone.
Now, God send
helpers of destiny to Naaman and there were many of them.
God sent a maid;
and it was not an ordinary maid; this was a slave girl captured in battle.
Actually that girl was an enemy.
So, when
God want to help your destiny, He can use your enemy.
And then, it was
this girl who spoke to the wife of Naaman; the wife heard and told her husband.
So, when
God want to help your destiny, He can use a relative.
And Naaman went to
the king and... (the king, according to verse 1, he is a friend of Naaman) and
the king took action.
So, when
God want to help your destiny, He can use a friend.
The matter got to
the attention of Elisha.
When God want to
help your destiny, He can use a man of God.
The man of God
sent his servant to Naaman, go and wash.
The man got angry,
but his servant came to him - haha! My master, be careful;
When God want to
help your destiny, He can use servants.
The servant of
Elisha and servant of Naaman, they all contributed to his destiny.
And of course,
behind of all of this was God Himself.
But do you know
that in the entire story of Naaman...; (this is very crucial because that is
going to determine the end of section one), ...the one who helped the
destiny of Naaman most, was Naaman himself.
Go and wash.
I am not going to
wash.
The servant says,
hey, please master, do what they say.
And he said, I
will do it.
God is ready to
help your destiny (I am going to explain that later on)
He can use your
enemy
He can use your
relatives
He can use your
friends
He can use a man
of God (and that is why I am here tonight)
He can use
servants
He Himself is
ready
But the question
is: WILL YOU HELP YOUR OWN DESTINY?
There is a saying
that 'heaven help those who help themselves'.
If Naaman had
refused to come down and wash, the efforts of the maid would have been nothing.
The effort of his
wife - zero.
The effort of the
king - nothing.
The effort of
Elisha - zero.
The effort of the
servant - nothing.
Will you help your
own destiny tonight?
That is the big
question.
I will tell you a
story and then I will make my altar call for tonight.
And those of you who
are viewing from various viewing centers all over the world, I want you to know
this is a moment of destiny.
I have told the
story before.
A king in one of
our towns wanted to celebrate several things and he invited me to come and
preach at the thanksgiving service.
And then, he
invited all his high chiefs to come.
Now, these high
chiefs belong to several occults and the second in command to him was the
leader of all the cults.
As we are about to
begin the service, the high chiefs were coming; the usher saw them how they are
dressed in the regalia of devil and they ran to me and said Sir, are will going
to allow this people into the church?
I said, of course.
Put them on the
front roll; where it will be easy for Jesus to reach them.
And I change my
sermon
I was going to
talk on 'O that man should praise the Lord'
I changed the
sermon to 'the Confrontation on Mount Carmel'
And I challenge
them.
I told them, I
came here with my wife and my son.
My car number is
so so so
If you think you
are powerful, use all your powers, to make one of my tires go flat.
If you do that, I
will worship your god.
If you cannot do
that, you must worship my God.
And then I gave
the alter call.
And the leader of
all the high chiefs, the chairman of all the cults, was the first one to come
forward.
And when he was
coming forward, all the chiefs followed him and he gave his life to Jesus.
Now, after the
service, the king said we should do a follow-up.
So, we went to
this high chief and the king asked him: do you understand what you have done?
Why did you come
forward?
He said, you see
this small boy, challenging all of us, who does not know there is somebody
behind him.
It is the one
behind him I surrendered to.
We prayed again.
He was an old man
- he must be close to ninety - 30days later he died.
He had served the
devil all the days of his life.
He was destined
for help but he helped himself; he surrendered his life to Jesus 30days before
he died - his destiny change.
He is one of the
people I am looking forward to seeing when I get to heaven.
Will you help your
destiny?
If you are still
living in sin and you are yet to surrender your life to Jesus, you better come
now.
Tomorrow mighty be
too late.
Only God knows how
many of us will still be alive by this time tomorrow.
You can help your
own destiny by surrendering your life to Jesus Christ.
And if you claim
that you are born again, and you are still living in sin, stop deceiving
yourself, come to Jesus now; let Him reshape your destiny.
I am going to
count from one to twelve.
By the time I say
twelve, if you are not already standing before me, I will know you are not
coming and we will go to section B.
I am counting now.
One, two,
three...,
The Bible says, if
any man be in Christ he is a new creature; everything about him becomes new
including the destiny; including the destiny that has been tarnished.
He said, old
things have passed away, behold all things have become new.
The choice is
yours now.
Four...
Thank you those of
you who are clapping for Jesus. He will glorify your destiny.
Five, six,
seven...,
And those of you
at the various viewing centers, approach the altar now if you want to surrender
your life to Jesus.
Because what is
happening here can be done for you over there too.
Eight, nine, ten,
eleven...
Now, those of you
who are already in front, cry to Jesus Christ and ask Him to be merciful - Lord
have mercy; have mercy on me. Save my soul. Forgive all my sins. Give me a new
beginning including a new beginning of my destiny. Call on him. And those of
you on the way, hurry up, hurry up, hurry up; I know some of you are coming
from far.
Let us stretch our
hands towards these people and pray for them.
You are the One
who saved our souls, save their own souls also. Pray for them brethren.
Intercede for them. Intercede for them that God will have mercy on them and
forgive all their sins. Let us pray for them in another one minute. Those of
you who are still on the way, hurry up now. Make sure you get here before I
finished praying. Thank You Father.
Counselors please
begin to come.
In Jesus mighty
name we have prayed.
My Father and my
God I want to bless Your holy name; I want to thank You for Your word and I
want to thank You for these people who have come, please remember Your promise
that whosoever will come unto You, You will in no wise cast out. They have come
to You now, please receive them in Jesus' name; forgive them in Jesus' name;
let Your blood wash away their sins in Jesus' name. Please as You have save
their soul tonight, write their names in the Book of Life; give them a new
beginning; don't let them go back to sin. And from now on Father, whenever they
call on You, please answer them by fire.
In Jesus mighty
name we have prayed.
Amen.
I will be praying
for you.
So, I am going to
need your names, your address and your prayer request.
And I promise you,
I will be praying for you.
So, the counselors
will give you a card, which you should fill before we go to section B because
you are very special people.
Congratulations.
Congratulations.
We will have some
worship while the Counselors are attending to these people.
Now, we want to go
to section B - this is a section where you are going to pray.
And if I were you,
I will pray tonight like I have never prayed before.
I said God can
help your destiny.
Let me put it this
way, God will help your destiny; and He can use different people to do so.
I am going to
mention them one by one and then call on you to stand and pray.
Relatives - God
can use your relatives to help your destiny.
Let us start with
Moses
In Exodus chapter
2 verse 1 to 3; by the time Moses was born, death was already waiting for him;
there was already an order from the king that every male Hebrew child must be
killed.
The mother saw
this baby and said, I refuse to kill this one - the mother helped his destiny.
And then, when the
boy became too big to be hidden, in Exodus chapter 2 verse 4 to 9, and the
mother put him in a basket and put him on riverine; his sister washed over him
until where God will continue the help.
The mother
started; the sister continued.
And then one more
example before we pray prayer number one.
In Genesis 27 from
verse 26 to 33, the father of Jacob began to pour blessing upon blessing upon
blessing on this young man.
The blessing was
so much that there is no way that boy would not have become great.
Your mother can
help; your sister can help; your father can help; relatives can be use.
I have told you
before, I am where I am today by the grace of God and the blessing of my
mother.
When I was very
little, any time I did something that please her, she had only one prayer: you
this boy, you will call one person, two hundred will answer.
I did not
understand what she met, but today, I can see what she was talking about.
The father of
Jacob poured blessing on him.
Now there might be
some of us, the father had not blessed us, the mother had not blessed us but
there is a Father of fathers and He is here today.
I want you to
stand on your feet and lift your voice to him and say: Father, you are
the Father of all father, command a blessing on me today.
Go ahead, open
your mouth and cry to him.
You are the Father
of all fathers, command a blessing upon me today; command; command a blessing;
command a blessing upon me today. You are the Father of all fathers, may be my
father forgot to bless me or my mother forgot to bless me, but You are the
Father of all fathers, please command a blessing upon me today. Command a
blessing upon me today. Almighty God, command a blessing upon me today. If You
bless me, I will be blessed. If You bless my destiny, my destiny will be
blessed. Command, command a blessing. Command a blessing upon me today.
Almighty God, command a blessing. You are the Father of all fathers, command a
blessing upon me today. Command a blessing upon me today. Command a blessing
upon me today. Command a blessing upon my destiny. If You bless me, I will be
blessed. If You bless me, I will reach my goal. If You bless me, nothing will
be able to stand in my way. If You bless me, where I can't dream possible, I
will get there. Command a blessing upon me today. Almighty God, command a
blessing upon me today. Command a blessing upon me today. Please Lord, command
a blessing. Command a blessing upon me today. Thank You Father.
In Jesus mighty
name we have prayed.
And so shall it be
in Jesus' name.
Let us be seated.
Number two) When
God want to help your destiny, He can use friends.
A very classical
example is Jonathan versus David.
You can read
1Samuel chapter 20, you can read the whole chapter - it is very beautiful story
of friendship.
The king wanted to
kill David, the prince, decided to help - Jonathan said, no, I am not going let
my father kill you; you are going to be king; I will help your destiny and he
did.
Proverb chapter 18
verse 24, tells us that there is a friend that can stick closer than a brother.
In other words, even when relatives cannot help you, there are friends that can
stick closer than a brother.
In fact, Proverbs
chapter 27 verse 10, says, don't forsake the friends of your father;
Don't forsake your
friends because a friend, a neighbour that is near is better than a brother
that is far away.
There is an
English proverb, it says: make new friends and keep the old - one is silver;
and the other is gold.
Keep on making
friends, you never can tell which one God will use to help your destiny.
I was once a sport
master in a grammar school.
So, we went to
have a competition in another town with another school.
And then, myself
and the sport master of the other team began to boost.
My team will just
trash your team.
He said, no no,
our team will reduce your team to nothing; you will need several baskets to
carry away the goals.
And during our
boosting we became friends; after all, birds of the same feather, flocks
together.
And then years
passed, I left the grammar school, I came to University of Lagos to do my
master degree.
I applied for
Federal scholarship; I did not even get a reply.
And then one day
as I was walking in the University and I saw this game master: Haa! How are you
my friend?
What are you doing
here?
I am doing post
graduate studies.
What about you?
He said, I am now
working with the Federal Ministry of Education.
Oh! I said, you
people!
I applied for
scholarship, you did not even call me for interview.
He said, you
applied!
I said, I did.
He said, okay, you
will hear from us.
Following week, I
got a letter.
No interview but
my scholarship had been granted and back dated to the date I apply.
That was the money
I use to build my first house.
Stand on your
feet; lift your voice to the Almighty God and say: Father, please put
my friends at the position where they will be able to help.
Common pray for
your friends.
Almighty God, put
my friends in position where they will be able to help me, Lord, Lord, do it
today. Put my friends in strategic position where they will be able to help me.
Please Lord, put my friends in strategic positions where they will be able to
help me. Help my friends so that they will be able to help; place them where
they will be able to help me. Promote my friends Lord so that they will be able
to help my destiny. Please Lord, place my friends where they will be able
to help me. Please Lord; please Lord; please Lord, please my friends where they
will be able to help my destiny. Please Lord, if You will position my friends,
strategic places, they will be able to help my destiny. Please Lord, help my
friends so that they will be able to help. Help my friends Lord so that they
will be able to help me. Help my friends Lord. Help my friends. If You promote
them they will be able to help my destiny. Please help my friends so they will
be able to help me.
In Jesus mighty
name we have prayed.
And so shall it be
in Jesus' name.
Please be seated.
Number
three) God can use servants.
Ordinary servant
can help your destiny.
In the case of
Naaman that I mentioned earlier on, it was an ordinary maid that started him on
the journey to recovery.
Gehazi was a
servant; and Naaman had his own servant too who helped.
And when you get
to Genesis chapter 41 verse 1 to 44 - it was a servant of Pharaoh that God used
to pick up Joseph from prison and turn him to a Prime Minister - a servant.
God can use
someone you are looking down upon has nobody to bless your destiny.
As a matter of
fact, in Genesis chapter 50 verse 19 to 20, the Bible tells us that the destiny
of Joseph was to preserved the whole world.
There might be
somebody here tonight for example, who is going to influence the whole world
for good and he might just be ordinary servant that God will send to set you on
your way to destiny.
A driver witness
to the wife of his master.
She gave her life
to Jesus.
She went and
witness to her own sister.
She gave her life
to Jesus and receive a miracle of healing.
And together they
decided to start a church - a branch of our church in their town.
The elder sister
gave her house.
When that house
became too small, she gave another.
When that one
became small, she gave land.
When that one was
not enough, she gave more.
Today, through the
effort of that driver, there are thousands of churches and people close to
hundreds of thousands, on their way to heaven.
Now, that elder
sister, had only one child; and she was wondering: only one child; but now, she
has thousands of children because a driver decided to be use of God so that he
can become a helper of destiny.
Be careful how you
threat your housemaid;
Be careful how you
threat your house-help;
Be careful how you
threat your interpreter...
He may help your
destiny.
Let somebody shout
hallelujah.
One day, I was
cracking a joke with my driver.
I said, your duty
is to drive me wherever I am going.
As soon as we
land, you keep on enjoying yourself and me I will keep on fasting and praying
and preaching.
He said, Daddy,
that is not true.
When you are
preaching, I am praying for you.
Stand on your feet
and cry to the Almighty God and say: Father, from sources I don't
expect, send help to me.
Go ahead,
talk to the Almighty God.
From sources I
don't expect, send help to me; send help to me; send help to me. From sources I
don't expect, send help to me Lord; send help to me. Send help to me. From
sources I don't expect at all; from angles I am not looking at, send help to me
Lord, send help to me. Send to me those who will help my destiny. Send help to
me. Send help to me. From sources I don't expect, send help to me. Send help to
me. Send help to me. From sources I don't expect at all, send help to me. Send
those who will help my destiny. Send those who will help my destiny. From sources
I don't expect: if I am looking for help from the right, send help from the
left. If I am expecting help from the front, send help from behind. Send help
to me from contact I don't expect. Send help to me Lord. Send help to me Lord.
Thank You Father. Send help to me. From unexpected sources, Almighty God send
help to me. From sources I don't expect, send help to me Lord. Send help to me.
Thank You Father.
In Jesus mighty
name we have prayed.
So shall it be in
Jesus' name.
Please be seated.
Thank You Father.
Number four) Enemies
- God can use your enemy to bless your destiny.
Thank You Lord.
The Lord said,
there is a student here today, up till now you are considered just average,
Lord ask me to tell you that from tonight you will begin to shine.
Thank You Father.
The Lord said
there is someone here for years you have been fighting this private war, Lord
ask me to tell you, before the year ends you will win.
Okay! Now! Enemy
we said
Don't pray that
all your enemies will die; some of them are necessary to push you towards your
destiny.
When you read
1Samuel chapter 1 verse 1 to 6 - the reason Hannah kept on praying that I must
have a child is because the second woman in the house will not allow her to
rest - she kept on vexing her, vexing her.
The Bible says,
the husband will give double portion to Hannah.
The husband said
to her, I am not more than many children to you?
But instead of her
relaxing, the adversary did not allow her.
The enemy that
will push you towards your destiny is a good enemy.
I have told you
the story before.
I applied for
Commonwealth scholarship and I was invited for interview.
And, like you all
know, the questions in Mathematics: it is either you know or you don't.
If I say what is
two plus two?
You all know the
answer.
You will say four.
If I say what is
the square root of two?
(sorry, I know
that is difficult to interpret)
You will say: you
mean, two has root; whether square or what?
All the question
they asked me were simple questions.
I was wondering,
do they know that I am a Honour student.
But the Chairman
of the panel; all the time they were asking me questions, he was fast asleep.
I won't tell you
part of the country.
After all the
other were satisfied, they woke him up: do you have a question for this young
man?
He said, yeah
Where is Entebbe?
Haa!
I said, Sir, I am
not here for Geography.
And everybody
laughed.
But they laughed
at the Chairman.
So, you know the
result of the interview.
When I left the
place, I was sad - what is this enemy doing here God?
But as I was
coming out, I met an old lecturer, who was my lecturer at the University of
Nigeria, Nsukka.
Enoch, what are
you doing here?
I came for
scholarship interview.
He said, why?
I want to go
abroad to study.
He said, you don't
have to go anywhere; I know you; come and study under me here.
That was how I
became a student at the University of Lagos.
That's how I got
born again.
That's how I
became a Pastor.
That is why I am
standing before your today.
He took an enemy
to push me towards my destiny.
Stand on your feet
and lift your voice to the Almighty God and say: Father, every enemy I
have, let them push me towards my destiny.
Open your mouth
and cry to him.
Every enemy I
have, use them Lord, let them push me towards my destiny. Every enemy, whether
the one I know or the one I don't know, let them push me towards my destiny;
let them push me towards my destiny. Every enemy, whether from my farther side
or my mother's house or in my husband's house, in my wife's house, in my place
of work, let them all push me towards my destiny; let them push me towards my
destiny. All my enemies Lord, without a single exception, let them push me
towards my destiny; let them push me towards my destiny. All my enemies Lord
God Almighty, without a single exception use them Lord to push me towards my
destiny; use them to push me towards my destiny. Thank You Father. Thank You
Jesus.
In Jesus mighty
name we have prayed.
So shall it be in
Jesus' name.
Please be seated.
Number five) God
can use a Servant of God to help your destiny.
In 1Samuel chapter
16 from verse 1 to 13 - God wanted to appoint a king and He sent Samuel to the
house of Jesse.
The father of
David didn't help him; his brother did not help him; but the servant of God
said, we will not seat until you bring this boy.
I decree tonight,
all those who will help, they won't be able to rest until they have helped you.
It was Samuel that
set David on course for his destiny.
In 1Kings chapter
17 verse 8 to 16 - the widow of Zarephath and her son, they would have perished
if Elijah did not arrive on time.
In the Name that
is above every other name, the help you have been waiting for, will arrive on
time.
In 2Kings chapter
4 from verse 8 to 17, the shunammite woman would have die childless if Elisha
have not stayed in her house.
God use a man of
God to make the joy of that woman complete.
In 2Kings chapter
2 verse 9 to 15, it was Elijah that God use to help the destiny of Elisha.
Elisha said, I
want a double portion of your spirit - double portion of what you have, give to
me.
You know what the
man of God said
Thank You Father
God had answered
the prayer of someone here tonight.
He asked me to tell
you, your victory is coming, but not from the direction you expect.
Thank You Father.
Just let it come
that is all.
In 2Kings chapter
2 verse 9 to 15 - it was Elijah God use to help the destiny of Elisha.
I have told you
the story.
1979, myself and
some people we went to Tulsa in Oklahoma.
We attend a camp
meeting; and there I saw miracles happening raw.
At the end of the
Programme, I said, I must see the man in charge.
They said, it is
not possible.
I said I must see
him.
Well, one way
other, God open the door.
As soon as other
people heard that I was going to see this man of God, they jumped on the back
wagon.
We got to his
office, and he said, yes what can I do for you?
One fellow
answered and said Sir, I want to be distributing your books in Nigeria.
Another one said,
I want to be distributing your tapes.
Another one said,
I want to be distributing your magazine and so on and so forth.
Finally, he turned
to me, me who bucked the appointment.
He said, young
man, what can I do for you?
I said, Sir,
everything that is in you, that made you, you, that is what I want.
He looked at me
and said haa!
Young man that is
what...
I said, that is
what I want.
So, he called his
secretary
This one want
books, give him books.
This one says he
wants tapes, give him tapes.
This one want
magazines, give him magazine
And so, they all
left.
And he said to me,
young man, knee down.
And I felt on my
knees.
I saw him coming
towards me with his two hands - that is all I remembered.
When I woke up, I
was on the floor; he was kneeing down beside me with his two hands on my head
praying seriously in the Spirit and I knew I got what I wanted.
I want you stand
on your feet; lift your voice to the Almighty God and say: Father, even
if it is a fraction of anointing upon my Father-in-the-Lord, give it to me
tonight.
Give it to me
Lord, even if it is just a fraction; if it is a fraction of the anointing upon
my Father-in-the-Lord, let it flow unto me; let it flow unto me. Help my
destiny O Lord, help my destiny, help my destiny. Help my destiny Lord. Thank
You Father. Help my destiny Lord. If it is fraction of anointing that You have
deposited in my Father-in-the-Lord, give to me Lord; let it flow unto me, let
flow unto me; let it flow unto me Lord; let it flow unto me. Thank You my
Father. Thank You Father.
In Jesus mighty
name we have prayed.
Receive it right
now in Jesus' name.
Begin to heal the
sick from now on in Jesus' name.
Begin to raise the
dead from now on in Jesus' name.
Become a vessel
unto honour in God's hand from now on Jesus' name.
May God use you to
perform miracles for Him in Jesus' name.
So shall it be.
In Jesus mighty
name we have prayed.
You can be seated.
And God
Himself can help your destiny.
Because Psalm 46
verse 1...
Thank You Daddy.
Lord ask me to
tell someone, relax, I will put out the fire of the enemy.
Thank You Lord
Daddy said, there
is someone here, at least someone listening to me now, He says a prominent
source of shame in your life will disappear before the sun rises.
Alright
Psalm 46 verse 1
says God is the ever present Help in time of trouble.
And that beautiful
song that the choir rendered - Psalm 121 verses 1 and 2 - it says, I will lift
up eyes unto the hills from whence cometh my help, my help cometh from the
Lord.
If relatives don't
help me;
If friends don't
help me;
If servant don't
help me;
If the man of God
for one reason or the other refuses to help me;
If only God can
help; that settles the matter.
In 1Kings chapter
19 from verse 4 to 8 - when situation became so bad for Elijah, that he wanted
to die, the Helper of the helpless came and said no, you cannot die; you are
going to fulfil your purpose.
I decree to
someone here today; you will not die until you fulfil your destiny.
You know, there is
a very interesting story in 2Samuel chapter 6 verse 1 to 12.
David was bringing
Ark of covenant to the city and the horse stumbled and it appears as if the Ark
is about to fall and Uzzah tries to steady the Ark and God killed him for
insulting Him.
And David said, I
don't know that the Ark of the covenant is this dangerous; he said, I am not
taking it to my home.
There is a man
here called Obededom, take it to his house - if he can die, let him die.
He did not know
that he was being guided by God to prosper Obededom.
Three months is
the time the Ark stayed in the house of the Obededom.
He prospered so
mightily that the whole nation heard about it.
Then, they went
and told David; the fellow you thought he was going to die has prospered.
All those who are
expecting your death, my God will surprise them.
Which brings us to
the text I read at the beginning - Isaiah 41 verse 10 to 13 - God said, I will
help you. I Am the One who will help you.
When God helps
you, what else are you looking for?
When God want to
help He does it in a special way; nobody can take glory for it at all.
If a friend helps
you, he can say tomorrow but I am the one who helped you.
If a relative
helps you, he can say, eh en so you have become big man now, you have forgotten
us.
But when my help
comes from God, there will be nobody to share the glory.
Again I will tell
you a story.
I have told you
this story before but I will tell you again.
When I was getting
ready for my P.hD; I have started trying to solve a problem for eighteen
months; I ended up with a hundred and eighty-six simultaneous equations.
Those of you who
know a little bit of Mathematics, solving just two is a problem, not to talk of
a hundred and eighty-six.
So, I did not even
know where to go any more.
One night, I
looked at all the equations and just push everything aside; I decided to do a
little Bible study before I sleep.
And I was reading
the crossing of the Red sea; and suddenly, God spoke to me...
I pray for someone
here today; God will speak to you.
...and He said
son, God and bring your equations...; I did not know God was interested in
Mathematics; I brought my equations.
And He began to
point to me, put this one on the right, put this one on the left; put this one
on the right, put this one on the left.
By the time I
finished, separating them like He said, haa! suddenly I saw that all those ones
on the left they all had something in common; all those on the right they had
something in common.
So, He said solve
the one on the left separately; solve the one on the right separately; and
combine the two.
He said, that is
what happened at the Red Sea.
The Sea parted
into two; My children pass through and the sea came together again.
Five hours, the
problem I have been trying to solve for eighteen months -
Five hours! my
thesis was ready.
When I presented
the Thesis, and they took it to external examiner, he went through and told my
Professor, the late Professor Dike Obi, he said go and give this boy his
degree.
And my Professor
say no, that is not the way it is done, there must be an oral exam.
He will seat down;
we will ask him question.
The man said, the
external examiner said, I have no question to ask this boy - go and give him
his degree.
My boss said no
way.
The man said, who
is the specialist in this field?
Is it you or
myself?
My Professor had
to say, it is you.
I said, I have no question
for this boy, go and give him his degree.
And when God
decide to help you, who can query Him.
Stand on your feet
and lift your voice to the Almighty God and say: Father, Helper of the
helpless, help my destiny.
Go ahead,
talk to the Almighty God.
Help me Yourself.
Help me Yourself. Help my destiny. You are the Helper of the helpless, help my
destiny, help my destiny. Help my destiny. Helper of the helpless, help my
destiny. Help my destiny Lord. Help my destiny. Help my destiny. Help my
destiny Father. Help my destiny. You are the Helper of the helpless, help my
destiny Lord. Help me Yourself. Help me directly, directly; through You, Daddy
help me. You are the Helper of the helpless, I have no help but You. I lift my
eyes up to You today, from where will my help come Lord - let my help come from
You.; let my help come from You; let my help come from You. Let my help come
directly from You. Let my help come directly from You. Help me Lord. Help me
Almighty God, You are the Helper of the helpless, help me Lord, help me. Help
me Lord. Help me Lord. Help me Lord. Thank You Jesus. Thank You Father. Helper
of the helpless, help me directly. Help me directly, I have no one else to run
to, help me, help me. Almighty God, help me destiny. Help me directly. Help me
directly. Help me directly. Help me directly. Thank You Father.
In Jesus mighty
name we have prayed.
So shall it be in
Jesus' name.
Please be seated.
I am about to
close now.
Last but not the
least is that you must help yourself.
In Genesis 39
verse 7 to 9, the destiny of Joseph would have come to an abort end if he had
surrendered to the temptation of the wife of Potiphar.
In 2Kings chapter
4 verse 1 to 7, when the widow of one of the son of the prophets was destitute
and she ran to the man of God for help; and the man of God said, do this, do
this, do that.
If she had not
been absolutely obedient, her destiny would have come to an end - the two sons
would have become slave.
She helped her own
destiny by being totally obedient.
In Isaiah chapter
1 verse 19...
Thank You Father.
The Lord says,
there is someone here tonight, He said, those who are plotting your destruction
shall fall at sleep and not wake up.
Oh God have mercy.
Amen
I want to say amen
to this new one.
The Lord said there
is someone here tonight, He said before the end of the year, you are going to
weep for joy.
In Isaiah chapter
1 verse 19, God said, if you are willing and obedient, you will eat the good of
the land.
If you are willing
and obedient, your destiny will be fulfilled.
In Malachi chapter
3 verse 8 to 11, the Lord says the choice is yours - curse or blessings
Blessing that
there will not be enough room to contain;
Or a curse that
will cause devourer to come.
He said, the
choice is yours.
He said, give and
you shall be given.
The choice is
yours.
He is not going to
false you.
In Deuteronomy
chapter 30 verse 19, the Almighty God, the One who is Sovereign and can do
whatever He wants, said, I call heaven and earth to hear witness, asking you to
choose between blessing or cursing - He said the choice is yours.
There is no doubt
about it that your destiny is great - He said so in Jeremiah 29 verse 11 - He
said, I know the thought that I think towards you: thought of good not of evil,
to have an expected end.
Your destiny is a
good one but will you must obey Him completely?
That is going to
lead you to the last prayer now.
And this one, you
will pray it if you like, if you like don't pray it; but I am going to pray.
I am going to
say Father, I will obey You all the way, just fulfill my destiny.
I will obey You
all the way. I will obey You all the way Father - that is my own choice. I have
chosen to obey You all the way. I have chosen to obey You all the way. Please
Lord God Almighty fulfil my destiny. I will obey You all the way if nobody else
is obeying You, I will obey You. If nobody is praising You, I will praise You.
if nobody is witnessing for You, I will witness for You. If nobody else is
giving, I will give. If no one else is paying their tithe, I will pay my own. I
have made up my mind Lord, I am Yours all the way, I will do Your will, fulfill
my destiny Lord. Please fulfill my destiny and I will serve You all the days of
my life - that is my own choice Lord; that is my choice. I will help my own
destiny, by obeying You all the way. I will obey You completely. I will do Your
will. I will do Your will. Thank You my Father. Glory be to Your holy name.
In Jesus mighty
name we have prayed.
Finally, if there
is any particular area where you need God's help...
Thank You Daddy.
Daddy said, He has
healed three thousand here tonight.
Please let
somebody shout a big hallelujah.
If there is
anything special you want God to do for you, particularly this month, go ahead
ask Him now. Ask Him.
I am giving you
two minutes to cry to him.
Anything special
you want God to do for you, particularly this month of November...
Thank You Jesus.
Let us begin to
bring our prayer to a close.
In Jesus mighty
name we have prayed.
The Helper of
destinies, the God who created you, the God who established your destiny, will
send help to you today. Every plan of the enemy to frustrate your destiny shall
be frustrated. All the prayers you have prayed here tonight God will answer by
fire. You will testify. Very very soon you will be weeping for joy.
So shall it be.
In Jesus mighty
name we have prayed.
Amen.
Let somebody shout
hallelujah.
