Let us give Him glory, let us give Him honour.
He is the Faithful God; when He speaks, it is
done. When He makes a promise, He will stand by it.
Praise Him.
Give Him glory, give Him honour; magnify His
holy name.
Magnify His holy name.
He is worthy; He is worthy to be glorified. He
is worthy to be magnified.
There is no one like Him - praise Him...Worship Him.
Give Him all glory, give Him all honour.
Praise Him.
Praise Him for making you a winner.
Give Him glory, give Him honour.
He is our Commander-in-Chief.
He is the One who enables us to win.
Praise His holy name - praise His holy name.
The reason we are more than conquerors is
because He loved us.
Praise Him.
And if He is for us who can be against us?
Praise Him.
Give Him glory, give him honour, give Him
adoration.
He is worthy to be praised. He is worthy to be
praised.
Thank You Father.
In Jesus mighty name we worshipped.
Now, let us lift our voices to Him and
say: Father, Lord of host, all the defeats in my life, turn them to
victories today.
Go ahead talk to the Almighty God. Lord of
host, all the defeats in my life, please turn them to victories today. This
very night, turn my defeat to victory. Turn my defeats to victory. Thank You
Father. Thank You Lord.
In Jesus mighty name we have prayed.
The God of Abraham, Isaac and Jacob
Jehovah, the Man of War
His mercy endureth forever and ever
O praise His holy name
(Amen)
The God of Abraham, Isaac and Jacob
Jehovah, the Man of War
His mercy endureth forever and ever
O praise His holy name
(Amen)
The God of Abraham, Isaac and Jacob
Jehovah, the Man of War
His mercy endureth forever and ever
O praise His holy name
(Amen)
The Lion of the Tribe of Judah, the Lord, the
Lord strong and mighty, the Lord mighty in battle, the Lord of host, the
General of generals, the Admirer of all admirers, the Commander-in-Chief of all
the host in heaven, Commander-in-Chief of all the host on earth,
Commander-in-Chief of all the host underneath the earth, the One who never lost
a war..., we worship You; we bless Your holy name - accept our worship in Jesus
name.
Thank You for thirty years of faithfulness.
Thank You for thirty years of victories. Thank You for thirty years of
salvation. Thank You for thirty years of healings. Thank You for thirty years
of miracles. Thank You for thirty years of fruitfulness. Thank You for thirty
years of joy. Thank You for all blessings - please accept our worship in Jesus
name.
Thirty years ago, when I wasn't expecting at
all, You asked me a question: Son, what do you want for birthday?
I said, I wanted a miracle for every member of
my congregation.
You told me to call them together, that You
will give it to them.
We are here today, together one more time, my
request once again - that all those who are here, and those who are connected
to this service throughout the whole world, give everyone a miracle.
When the enemy rose up against Moses, he asked
the ground to open its mouth and swallow them. All the enemies of these Your
children, right now, let the ground open its mouth and swallow them.
When Pharaoh and his army came pursing Your
children to take them back into bondage, You drown them and You have not
change. Anyone trying to take Your children back into bondage, drown the fellow
tonight.
When several Armies gathered together to fight
against Joshua; because they said, he was making too much progress; Father, You
bombed them. Every agent of the devil, trying to hinder the progress of Your
children, Father, bomb them all.
Any one standing in the way of joy of Your
children, if they are on the ground, let the ground swallow them. If they are
in the waters, drown them all. And those of them who fly in the air to attend
meetings, bomb them all.
My request Lord is that everyone of this Your
children will become permanently overcomers in Jesus' name.
All over the world today, Father send help to
Your children.
Let all be well with us.
And the victory You started giving Nigeria,
make it complete.
And like Your daughter had prayed, all over
the world because of tonight meeting, let their peace.
In Jesus mighty name we have prayed.
Amen!
Let somebody shout hallelujah.
Shake hand with three or four people and say:
God bless you Winner.
And then, you may please be seated.
You are all welcome and may God keep on
blessing you in Jesus' name.
I want to thank my son for that wonderful
message that he brought before us. He had done half of my job for me; so, I
will be able to finish quickly now.
One of my sons speaking yesterday said, you
cannot be a winner unless you had fought a fight.
You don't talk of winning unless there had
been competition.
And one of them reminded us that life is
warfare. So, we are at war - we must win - that means we must fight.
And so tonight, we are here to fight and to
win.
Is there any winner in the house?
Are you ready to fight?
Because tonight I am going to call on you
again and again to pray; and whenever I says, stand on your feet and let us
pray; anyone who is older than I is free to seat down; because if you are older
than I, then you are old. But if you are younger than I, then you are a youth.
I am Seventy Four - so all the youth in the
house let me here you shout hallelujah.
Okay.
Now, my text will be taking from 1Samuel 17
from verse 45 to 52;
And while you are opening your Bible, let me
say thank you from the bottom of my heart - for all your prayers; for all your
gifts; and my prayer is that next year, you will be able to do more.
And I want to say thank you very much to my
wife. I am always amazed how she could have endured me all these years. I mean
can you imagine tolerating somebody like me for some forty-nine years -
definitely she is a Winner.
I was no easy meat before I got born again.
After I became born-again again, I became tough meat of the other type -
somehow she manage to cope - thank you my dear, God bless you - keep on
winning.
And of course I want thank God for all my
children: Biological and spiritual. Thank You for giving me so much joy. I pray
that God will allow me to stay with you little longer.
1Samuel 17: 45 - 52
45 Then said David to the Philistine, thou comest to me with a
sword, and with a spear, and with a shield: but I come to thee in the name of
the Lord of hosts, the God of the armies of Israel, whom thou hast defiled.
46 This day will the Lord deliver thee into mine hand; and I will
smite thee, and take thine head from thee; and I will give the carcases of the
host of the Philistines this day unto the fowls of the air, and to the wild
beasts of the earth; that all the earth may know that there is a God in
Nigeria.
47 And all this assembly shall know that the LORD saveth not with
sword and spear: for the battle is the LORD's, and he will give you into our
hands.
48 And it came to pass, when the Philistine arose, and came, and
drew nigh to meet David, that David hastened, and ran towards the army to meet
the Philistine.
49 and David put his hand in his bag, and took thence a stone, and
slang it, and smote the Philistine in his forehead, that the stone sunk into
his forehead; that the stone sunk into his forehead; and he fell upon hi face
to the earth.
50 So David prevailed over the Philistine with a sling and with a
stone, and smote the Philistine, and slew him; but there was no sword in the
hand of David.
51 therefore David ran and stood upon the Philistine, and too his
sword, and drew it out of the sheath thereof, and slew him, and cut off his
head therewith. And when the Philistines saw their champion was dead, they
fled.
52 And the men of Israel and of Judah arose and shouted, and
pursued the Philistines, until thou come to the valley, and to the gates of
Ekron. And the wounded of the Philistines fell doen by the way to Shaaraim,
even unto Gath, and unto Ekron.
How do we know Winners?
They have certain characteristics, and I
just want to mention seven of them in addition to all that we have already
heard.
- The winning side is the Singing and Dancing side.
In 1Samuel 18 verse 6, when the children of
Israel were returning from the defeat of the Philistines, they sang and they
danced.
In Exodus 15 verse 1 to 21, when the children
of Israel look back, and they saw the enemies of more than four hundred years
drowned, they sang, they danced.
In Psalm 59 verse 16, David said, I will sing
of thy power, I will sing of thy mercy, because you have been my defense and
refuge in the day of my trouble.
I want to start by saying to somebody, on your
way home tonight, you will be singing. Even in your vehicles, you will be
dancing.
I don't need to say too much about singing
because I am sure you all sing.
But I will say a little bit about dancing,
because some of you don't dance. Maybe because of your position in society; but
if you know the meaning of dancing, I am sure from now on, you will be dancing.
When you have a dog, and I have quite a few of
them; when I travel and I return, the way my dog show their joy is by dancing.
They danced round me. A dog says I know you are my owner, I am so glad to see
you.
When you dance, you are saying to the Almighty
God, I am proclaiming to anyone let them say what they like about me, I am
showing to the world - God you are my owner.
In 2Samuel chapter 6 verse 14 to 22, the Bible
says David dance before the Ark of Covenant and he dance just like any other
ordinary man, in such a manner that the wife had to complain.
How can you be dancing like this; don't you
know you are the king!
What was it he said?
I am dancing before my God. I am dancing
before the One who promoted me. I am dancing before the One who took the
kingdom from your father and handed it over to me. I am dancing to the One who
made me who I am.
It is interesting that he told the wife: You
have not seen anything yet; I am just going to keep on dancing.
When we talk about winners, David, definitely
will qualify to be one of them.
He was a singer; he was dancer.
So, when he wrote Psalm 23; if you study it
very well, he is simply saying because I acknowledge God has my Owner, I can
even enjoy in the presence of my enemies - My victory is such that even if the
enemies are not dead, they are paralyzed
Dancers will always be Victors.
Now, I will remind you of just one testimony
of a lady who was rejected in the hospital. They told her to go home and die;
and we are having a crusade at Ebute-Metta, and as I was starting the preaching
that day, I told the people that God said I should pray for no one today but
that everybody who needed healing should dance.
I was preaching, then, they brought her.
Somebody told her, miracles are happening down
there - go.
The children brought her in a car, she
couldn't get out of the car herself, and they came to Papa DGO please our
mother is dying please pray for her.
Papa said, the word has gone out, no praying
for anybody tonight.
If your mother wants to be heal, let her
dance.
Haa! She cannot even stand.
Well! I have told you what God said.
So they brought her out - supported her on the
right; supported her on the left.
They told her what was said - Dance.
And she was moving just a little to the right,
a little to the left.
Suddenly the power of God hit her.
She pushed the fellow on the right away; push
away the fellow on the left and kept on dancing.
Stand on your feet.
Lift your voice to the Almighty God, loud and
clear, and say: Father, tonight put a new song in my mouth and give me
something to dance about.
Go ahead talk to the Almighty God. Put a new
song in my mouth. Give me something to dance about. Tonight! Put a new song in
my mouth. Do something in my life that I will dance about for the rest of my
life. Put a new song in my mouth and from now on LORD let me just keep on
dancing for You. Give me something to dance about all the days of my life. I am
a winner, so I must be singing and dancing - something to dance about for the
rest of my life.
Amen.
And so shall it be in Jesus' name.
Please be seated.
Number two: how do we know Winners?
- The winning side is always shouting and clapping.
Psalm 47 verse 1 says, clap your hands all ye
people; shout unto God with voice of triumph.
Amen.
He then went to say in verse 3: the reason why
you should be shouting and clapping - he says, He will subdue the people under
you and nations under your feet.
It took just one shout to bring down the wall
of Jericho.
Thank you.
You know, one of my children who preached
yesterday said if you want to be a winner you need to have understanding.
The Bishop who preached this evening, said,
you want to be a winner - you must have understanding.
You see, if you read Revelation 19 chapter verse
6: it talks about what is going on in heaven. He said I heard the voice of a
great multitude, as the voice of many waters; as the voice of mighty
thundering, saying, Alleluia: for the Lord God Omnipotent reigneth.
Hold on - I will release you in a moment.
Thank you.
Remember I have said it before that if you
don't like noise, don't go to heaven because heaven is full of noise; and the
people, the people who are in heaven, people who are in heaven, who are making
this noise - they are Winners, and they were saying that the reason they were
shouting is because the Omnipotent reign.
Omnipotent means the One who has all powers.
The One that was described in the Bible has
the Lord mighty in battle; those people who were shouting because of the One
who gave them victory...
And I can tell you several stories of those
who got victory simply by shouting.
Some of you will remember of a woman who just
found out whatever she ate, she vomited.
The Doctor did everything, they took all
x-rays, everything; and there was nothing they find wrong with her but she kept
on vomiting.
And then she came to one of our programs, all
we said was that everybody should just shout a big hallelujah.
As she tries to shout, a worm came out of her
mouth.
That worm did not appear on her x-ray;
everything they could do, they have done, they didn't detect anything. But the
thing jumped out.
And I am decreeing to somebody here tonight,
as my children will say, if your own hallelujah is louder than that of your
neighbour...
Thank you. Amen. Amen.
...Anything that is not of God that has been
hibernating in your body is gone now in Jesus' name.
Now, what is the meaning of clapping?
Number one: it means you are full of joy.
Isaiah 55 verse 12; it says, you shall go
forth with joy; you shall be led forth with peace; now peace means the war is
over.
And then, it says, mountains and hills shall
sing; they break forth into singing, and the trees shall clap their hands.
When they are rejoicing with you, even the
trees will be clapping their hands.
But, I just want to explain to you two things
about clapping; because some of your think it is small thing.
Bibles scholars, I mean those who really
really know the Bible; I am always afraid of them; but occasionally they
something that I like.
And one of them was explaining what God meant
"clap your hands o ye people, shout unto God with the voice of
triumph".
He said what God meant when they study the
thing very deeply is that God is saying: put your enemies between your two
hands and jamb the hand together.
Now you understand.
Now, you can see that some people, it is the
way they jamb their hands that tell their enemy that they are not serious -
that they don't want victory.
Amen.
Alright!
So, next time you hear clap your hands, you
know what it means?
But there is second meaning to clapping, and I
think I have told some of you long ago.
One day, the fingers, and they just look at
the bird singing and they said we too we like to sing; but no matter how they
wave in the air, no sound came.
Then by accident, two of them discover that if
they co-operate, they can produce a sound.
And they discovered that if I co-operate with
one finger other than myself, I get some sound.
So, the two hands held a meeting; let us
co-operate. Let one finger co-operate with my hand; so one hand began to tap
the hand and there was a little sound.
And two fingers joined, and there is a bigger
sound.
Three fingers joined, and there is a better
sound.
Four fingers joined, and there is a better
sound.
Then, all fingers joined...
So, the meaning of clapping is that you are
saying to God I will corporate with You.
You cannot corporate with God and loose - it
is not possible.
So, I want you to stand on your feet, and I
want you to pray a prayer; this prayer is going to be based on the shouting
aspect of the shouting and clapping.
You will lift your voice to Him and
say: Father, I will corporate with you, let my enemies hear a noise
tonight.
Go ahead talk to the Almighty God. I will
corporate with you O Lord, and I will be shouting unto you, let my enemies hear
a noise tonight. Let them hear a noise from heaven - as I clap; as I shout. Let
my enemies hear a noise from heaven. Let them hear a noise. Thank You Jesus
In Jesus mighty name we have prayed.
And so shall it be in Jesus' name.
Please be seated.
I know you want to continue but we are still
going along.
- Winners are always bold and aggressive.
In 1Samuel 17 verse 48, the Bible says David
ran towards the army to meet the Philistine.
I mean this young man was bold and he was
aggressive.
You see, James chapter 4 verse 7, says, you
are to resist the devil - you are the one to attack the devil; attack him,
before he can attack you.
In Mathew 16 verse 18, the Almighty God
promised that the gate of hell will not prevail against the church.
And as you have already learnt, gates don't
move; the gates stay where they are, it is your duty to resist them, to attack
them; and when you do, the Bible say they will not be able to stand your
assort.
The Bible asks you to cast out demons not to
beg them.
You are the one to take the offensive to the
enemy; not the enemy to you.
Many a times when I got a letter from children
of God, 'Daddy, the devil in not allowing me to rest'; the whole thing should
be the other way round, the devil should be complaining that you are not
allowing to rest.
Be bold, be bold, be bold - You are a
conqueror - God is behind you - you cannot fail; you cannot loose.
The devil will only threaten; he has not got
any powers left.
I have told the story before; when we got to
this camp 1983, I woke up one night (we are very few on the ground), and as I
was working around in the moon night, I looked up and I saw fire on one of the
trees in front of my office then; I mean big fire on top of the tree.
So, I said, ha ha, one of these boys must have
set fire to a tree; I went on my way.
But the following morning, I looked at the top
of the tree, the leaves were green; there were no sign of fire at all.
Haa! haa! I know what I saw. I saw fire on top
of this tree.
So, I spoke to our head carpenter then, Pastor
Goke.
I said I saw something strange last night: I
saw fire on top of this tree.
Haa! he said Daddy, we are afraid to tell you;
we have been hearing noise going on inside the tree - noise.
I said, and you didn't even tell me!
So, I called the young ones; Go and get your
cutlass - this tree goes down today.
We have just started cutting the tree, when
suddenly as if from nowhere, all the villagers gathered.
Don't touch that tree; it is a tree you must
never touch.
So we said, eh en, what will happen if we cut
it?
Haa! if you cut the tree, it will stand up
again; and when it stands, all of you who took part in the cutting, as tree is
standing, you will be falling down dead.
The boys looked at me, I said cut the thing
down: Is my Lord that won at the cross not the devil.
We cut down the tree, he never got up, and all
those who cut down the tree that time, they are now elders in the church.
Rise on your feet.
Lift your voice to the Almighty God and say:
Father, in the mighty name of Jesus, every evil tree in my family, send down
fire from heaven and consume them all.
Go ahead open your mouth. You know there are
some trees in your villages, in your family compound, harboring evil forces -
is your duty to pull them down. Every evil tree, wherever you they may be in my
home, in my place of work, in my husband's house, in my wife's house, every
evil tree, Father, send down fire from heaven and consume tonight, consume
tonight.
Thank You Father.
In Jesus mighty name we have prayed.
So shall it be in Jesus' name.
You may please be seated.
You may not know of the tree on the camp, but
I was visiting Lokoja sometimes ago; and right in the center of the town, the
road bent round a tree.
So, I was asking my son then, why?
This tree is in the middle of the road in the
town!
Oh! That is a tree that must never be touch.
I said why?
They said that...en! just don't touch it.
I said good - this tree goes.
So I talk to my Father about it.
I finish my program, we came back home; and a
huge storm broke out; By the following morning, the tree was on its side.
Every evil tree in your life will not see
tomorrow morning.
Number four...
Thank You Father.
The Lord said there is some here tonight; He
said I have never failed before, I will not let your case tarnish my record.
Thank You Father.
The Lord said there is someone here tonight,
He said right now the poor call you poor; He said very soon, the rich will call
you rich.
Okay thank You Daddy.
The Lord said there is someone here tonight,
He said next time they ask you, when are you going to send out your own
invitation, tell them very soon.
Number four.
- Winners are always persistent till the end
You know the popular saying: Quitters don't
win, Winners don't quit.
True winners, they never stop at
almost-successful.
David had already killed Goliath with the
stone but he wasn't satisfied.
Not only must Goliath die, he must never
resurrect - that was while he cut off his head.
And I am believing God for you brother, and
sister, the problems God will solve in your life tonight will never raise his
head again.
Winners don't want just-to-be healed; they
want to be whole.
They don't just want their debt paid; they
want a situation they will never owe again.
Like in 2King chapter 4 verse 1 to 7. That
widow not only paid off her debt, she had more than enough for the rest of her
life.
I want to, on the basis of that,
decree; every one of you tonight, when they talk about debt, you will say
I don't know what it so called.
Winners don't want just to be fruitful; they
want to be very fruitful.
Hannah didn't just get a child; after she gave
that one to God, she got extra five.
I have already spoken to my God; you know how
much I love children, I have already told the Almighty God, before I am eighty
year old, when children are having their own convention, they auditorium we are
moving from will not contain the children alone.
So, those of you who are trusting God for the
fruit of the womb; decide how many of them will be your own, and it is done in
Jesus' name.
Winners are tenacious; they are persistence.
They don't want half a victory; they want
total victory.
They don't take no for an answer; they just
keep on pressing forward until the victory comes.
I have told you the story of that woman, I
will tell you again, so you can pray with understanding.
I finish convention, I was extremely tired, I
got home, gather the people together, I said well, I am tired, I am going to
sleep, I don't want to be disturbed; so, let us pray - and I pray the kind of
prayer you pray when you are tired.
"Father thank You for everything. See you
tomorrow".
And as I was lying down to rest, my wife came
to knock at the door.
"Woman I told you I want to rest!"
There is a woman from the North with her
children. Is daddy in?
Yes, is in; but he is not seeing anybody
today.
Haa! She said who is talking about today.
He is in right?
Yes. She said ehen, I would seat down at this
door; sooner or later, it doesn't matter how many days, he will come out.
And they gave her food and she sat down and
was eating - that was when my wife came and said, I know you are tired, you
better add this tire to your tiredness.
So I had to get up.
And she said one thing, she said this head, is
always refusing good thing; I just want you to touch it, then you can go back
to your sleep.
Winners - they are like that.
God I won't let you go unless You bless me; it
doesn't matter how long it is going to take: I will keep on praying; I will
keep on pressing forward, I will keep on praising You; I will keep on shouting;
I will keep on doing everything until You will answer me.
You remember the story of Jacob and that Angel
that wrestled with him in Genesis 32 from verse 24 to 28 - the Almighty God
said to him, let Me go.
He said, how can I let You go, I have not got
what I wanted yet and he kept on pressing forward until he got his
breakthrough.
There is somebody here tonight who is about to
get breakthrough.
And so you are going to stand on your feet and
you are going to pray a prayer; please pray it with all your heart; and
say: Father, don't stop fighting for me until none of my enemies remain.
Go ahead talk to the Almighty God. Don't stop
fighting for me until there is not a single one of my enemies left. Keep on
fighting O Lord. Every sickness must go. Every disease must go. Every ache,
every pain must disappear. Every financial headache must end. Don't stop
fighting for me O Lord, until there is none of my problems left. Keep fighting
for me O Lord. Give me victory all the way; victory all the way; total and
complete.
Thank You Father.
In Jesus mighty name we have prayed.
So shall it be in Jesus' name.
Please be seated.
Number five.
- Winners are always submissive and obedient.
If you listen to the language of David in the
text we read, he said, I come in the Name of the Lord of host; it is the Lord
who will deliver you into my hand.
Everyone will know that the Lord does not save
by spear and sword.
He just kept on saying the Lord, the Lord, the
Lord.
And what is the meaning of 'the Lord'?
Apart from being the owner, that is why we are
talking of landlord - the owner of the house; the Lord is the one who must be
obeyed. The one who must be obeyed!
One of the greatest winners of all times was
Elijah.
He never lost a battle: enemies toiled with
him, he will rather kill them or burn them alive.
But he was what you will call "A-yes
man".
The Lord said do this, he will say, yes Lord.
Go there - yes Lord.
Hid - yes Lord.
Show yourself - yes Lord.
He was a-yes man.
The day you get to that stage that whatever
God says that is what I will do; your defeat will end that day.
Because Deuteronomy chapter 28 verse 1 and 7
says, if you will harken diligently to the voice of the Lord your God, to
observe and to do all that He commands you...
And He said in verse 7, He will cause the
enemies that rise up against you to be smitten before your face. He says, if
they come against you in one way and flee before thee seven ways.
The moment you learn to say: yes Lord; to
become absolutely obedient as the Bishop told us earlier on; you will overcome
sickness.
Exodus 15 verse 26, the obedient (100%), he
said I will become your physician.
Be totally obedient to Him, He will turn your
reproach to triumph; shame to victory.
John chapter 2 verse 1 to 11, in the wedding
in Canaan of Galilee...
Thank You Father.
I think this one is for me, so I want to say
amen to it before I tell you.
God is saying to someone here, He said I Am
the One who kept you safety till now and I have not retired, don't be afraid of
the future.
Thank You Father.
We will pick it up from where I left... but He
asked me to remind you of a story I told you some time ago.
I was praying in the camp and I have one of
this modern touch-light with me - the touch-light that the one they call
rechargeable that you can charge and then take it with you.
It was a very dark night, and so I went into
the bush to be away from..., I want some quietness and there are so many people
praying on the camp.
When I have gone far into the bush, suddenly
the touch-light went completely out.
The battery that was charged loses all it
power and it was a very dark night.
How do I get back to the camp - I was in the
bush!
Then I remember what my teacher thought us
when I was in primary school that if you find yourself in darkness suddenly,
close your eye tight for about two minutes, when you open your eye again dark
won't be so dark anymore.
Well! Okay! So, I closed my eye for about two
minutes. When I open my eyes, suddenly there was a big moon in the sky - almost
like afternoon.
So, I walk easily back to the camp.
When I got to the camp, I looked up to see the
moon, it was no longer there.
And I heard God said to me, I brought that one
out specially for.
Now, I have told you the story because God ask
me to tell someone here tonight: He said in your darkest hour I will send you
light.
Haa! thank You Lord.
He asked me to tell someone based on the same
story that from tonight onward, darkness will never hinder your progress again.
So, we are talking about John chapter 2 verse
1 to 11. When they ran out of win..., what got them victory that change the
shame of the Bridegroom to celebration was what the mother said: whatever He
says to you, do it.
When you are submissive to God and you are
absolutely obedient to Him, your victory is certain.
I will tell you a story; it will mean
something to some people.
It's a testimony of a man of God. He became
General Overseer as a young man and some of the elders in the church decided
that they will bring him down.
So, anytime they were at the council meeting,
they will be opposing and lying against him.
One day came; God said I will give you victory
today.
But you must not say a single word until I
tell you so.
So, this young man sat in the meeting, and one
elder after another, lying against him and they know they were lying.
And you know how difficult it is to keep quiet
when people are lying against you.
But this young man had had God say 'just keep
your mouth shut'.
These people had been talking for more than
one hour - on lie after another - then God spoke to His boy, tell them
"every idle word that a man shall speak,
he will give an account of it on the day of judgment".
So, he said, brethren, I am speaking to you
out of love, I am sure you know it is written that every word that we speak on
earth we would give an account in the day of judgment.
From that day onward, nobody ever lied against
him.
His victory became just permanent.
And I am believing God for someone tonight
that this very evening God is about to silence you enemies permanently.
But you are going to pray a prayer.
You will lift your voice to the Almighty God
(you don't mind standing again); we are at the battle front this evening and we
are going to win.
You lift your voice to Him and
say: Father, I will obey You, silence all my enemies.
Go ahead talk to the Almighty God. I will obey
You, silence all my enemies on a permanent basis. Silence them, silence them.
Just shut their mouth on a permanent basis. Shut their mouth. As for me, I will
obey You; I will do whatever You ask me to do, in Your own side of the
bargains, silence the enemies permanently, permanently. Thank You Father.
In Jesus mighty name we have prayed.
So shall it be in Jesus' name.
Please be seated.
Number six had been well treated by the Bishop
who spoke before me.
- Every winner is always grateful and they always pay their tithe.
From this we just found this in the life of
another great winner, Abraham.
Genesis 14 verse 17 to 20: he was victorious,
coming from winning a great battle - The first He did was he paid his tithe.
Long before as to any law to tithing, Abraham
paid his tithe out of the gratitude to the God who gave him victory.
You see, how tithing comes into being a winner
is that those who don't pay their tithe live under a curse; and somebody who is
cursed cannot win.
In Numbers 22 verse 1 to 8: a king sent for a
prophet, come and curse Israel for me. There are so many for me: if you curse
them, I will be able to overcome them.
But nobody can curse some that God has not
cursed.
In Numbers 23 verse 5 to 8: the prophet said,
how can I curse someone that God has not curse?
If you are robbing God of His tithe, according
to Malachi chapter 3 verse 8 to 11, then you are living under the curse of God
Himself.
And when God curses a man, it doesn't matter
how hard he tries, He will just keep on failing.
I have told the story of man before, every
time he is about to succeed, the thing will slip out of his hands.
He woke up to realize that something is
seriously wrong, because his friend in Abuja phoned him: Haa! thank God at last
you have won this contract. We have written your letter, come and collect.
He jumped into the plain, before he landed in
Abuja, the Managing Director called his friend: 'that letter that we signed, I
hope you have not yet delivered it, because we are not giving it to him
anymore'.
Between Lagos and Abuja! The victory slipped
out of his and again.
And when he came and said Daddy look at what
has happen.
The Spirit of God said, ask him; because he
was asking me there must be a curse in my life, cancel it.
...ask him, 'do you pay your tithe?
Well...ehemm... I give whenever it is
convenient.
How many winners are in the house?
How many of you want to remain winners forever?
You cannot afford to annoy God.
You cannot win when God is against you.
I have told you before when the Bible says: If
God be for us who can be against us? Romans 8:31.
Any time I ask you the question; somebody will
jump up and say nobody.
Open your Bible; read it.
Open the place: Romans 8:31
In my own Bible, when he says if God be for
us, who can be against?
The end of that verse is question mark.
He did not write nobody there.
Why?
Because if God is for you, there is only one
fellow who can be against you: and that is YOURSELF.
That is why they left the question hanging -
if God is for you, the devil cannot be against you; demons cannot be against
you; witch doctors cannot be against you, but you can be against yourself.
That is while you are going to pray your next
prayer and you are going to pray it even harder than before.
You will stand on your feet and lift your
voice loud and clear and say: Father, from tonight let me ceased to be my
own enemy.
Open your mouth and pray. Let me cease to be
my own enemy; let me cease to be my own enemy because I know if you are on my
side, I will win, but if I am my own enemy what am I going to do. Don't let me
continue to be my own enemy. Don't let me continue to be my own enemy; please
Lord, don't let me continue to be my own enemy. Thank You Lord.
In Jesus mighty name we have prayed.
And so shall it be in Jesus' name.
And I decree that every curse upon your life
shall be destroyed.
Please be seated.
We are almost there now.
Number
seven.
- Winners are always pure and holy.
Because in warfare you need an ally: it is an
acceptable means of fighting a war; but when the battle is too fears for you,
you get an ally.
Moment you get the victory - that is all that
matters; and there is no better ally than the Lord of host.
One of my boys told us again yesterday, two
people cannot walk together expect they be agreed.
Our God is a holy God.
You want Him to be your ally, you must be
holy.
In Numbers 23, you can read it from verse 18
to 24.
When the king ask Balaam to come and curse
Israel, he said I cannot curse them because God said I have looked, there is no
iniquity in them; even the curse became a blessing.
Whereas, in Joshua chapter 7 from verse 1 to
12: when sin came into the camp of Israel; the God who had promise them that
nobody will be able to withstand them, backed out.
I can assure you of one thing, if I don't know
anything else about God, I know this one - nothing is impossible with God.
There is no enemy so big that my God cannot
finish.
He has Armies that you will not even think he
is an army.
He fought a king with ordinary worms.
Worms ate him alive.
So, who is that enemy that can withstand you
when God is really on your side?
He is a miracle working God - I have seen too
much of Him to doubt Him.
I mean, just look around you, you will see His
handwriting: Miracle Working God.
So, why then am I fighting a losing battle?
Examine yourself.
Find out where sin is in your life and get rid
of it.
I have told the story before.
A woman came, somewhere from Osun to
our program when we are still in the first auditorium
Because somebody told her, you go there, the
G.O lay hands on you, you will become fruitful.
She came; in those days we are much much
smaller; so, I could lay hands on everybody.
I lay hands on her; she fell under the
anointing, she was on the ground for almost one hour.
And then, she came back the following year
very angry.
They told me if I come, you will lay hands on
me that I might even fall.
You lay hands on me and I even fell, and I am
still here no child.
I was going to apologies when God said, ask
her, - the question God ask me to ask her was a difficult one because this was
quiet an important woman.
Almost trembling I said, please forgive me ma,
but God said I should ask you, 'apart from your husband, how many other boy
friends have you?'
She said six.
Haa! and you want a child from my God.
How are we even going to know the father?
Husband plus six!
My God is a holy God.
I am believing God from all my heart that
every one of you here tonight you will have a testimony. But that is if
you get out of sin.
My God is a holy God. He gives miracles not
magic.
It is the devil who can give you magic and say
it doesn't matter, you can continue to sin.
He can give you magic, knowing that he will be
waiting for you in hell.
But my God will give you blessings without any
sorrow added.
So, if you are will to say bye-bye to sin,
this will be one night you will never forget for the rest of your life.
So, before we pray the few prayers that we
have left to pray.
If there is any one here today who is not yet
born again, come forward, come forward, let us pray for your salvation; let the
blood of Jesus watch away your sins and let Him give you a new beginning.
It is only sin that can block your miracles
tonight.
God is here with all His power to turn you to
a winner.
So, I am going to count from one to twelve
because I see some of you are very far away; before I say twelve, if you want
to give your life to Jesus come and stand before me. I will pray for your
salvation and then we will be able to go on from there.
One, two, now if you are coming from far off,
you need to begin to come fast; three;
The Bible says, the hand of the Lord is not
shorten that He cannot save neither His ear heavy that He cannot hear, but your
sins and your iniquity can separate between you and your God so that He won't
hear.
So, if you want Him to hear you, to turn you
into a winner, you must come to Him so that His blood can wash away your sins.
...four, five, six, seven, eight, nine,...
Like I see some of you very far away, just
keep coming; don't stop, keep coming, keep coming.
...ten, eleven
Just keep coming, I can see some of you still
far away, just make sure you get here before I finish praying.
Those of you who are already in front, talk to
the Almighty God. Ask Him to please have mercy on you and save your souls.
Ask Him to please forgive all your sins and
wash you clean with His blood.
Tell Him you are surrendering to Him today and
You want Him to become Your Lord and Saviour.
Tell Him You will serve Him for the rest of
your life.
The rest of you who are coming on the way,
keep talking to God. Ask Him to save your soul. Ask Him to forgive all your
sins and promise Him you will serve Him.
And the rest of us, let us stretch our hands
towards this people and pray for them - just for about two minutes, let us
intercede for them - that the Almighty God who saved your soul will save their
souls also.
Pray for them brethren; intercede for them;
that the Saviour who saved your soul will save their own souls also.
Pray for them.
And those of you on the way just keep on
coming, don't stop.
I am about to pray but make sure you keep
coming; the prayer will affect you too.
Thank You Father
In Jesus mighty name we have prayed.
Ancient of days we bless Your holy name. We
thank You for Your word. We thank You for this people who have come forward,
please receive them in Jesus' name. Let Your blood wash away their sins. Save
their souls O Lord. Write their names in the book of life. And from now on,
anytime they call on You, answer them by fire. Please Lord, don't let them
backslide; let them serve You till the very end.
In Jesus mighty name we have prayed.
Amen.
Now I want to rejoice with those of who have
come forward tonight. I want to promise you that from now on I will be praying
for you.
So, I am going to need your names, your
address, and your prayer requests.
So, they will give you a card where you are;
you will fill it very quickly and then give it back to the Counselors and then
you can go back to you seats.
I promise you I will be praying of you.
I will wait for you few minutes to finish
filling your forms before we proceed further.
The rest of us while we wait for our brothers
and sisters, you can begin to thank God for what He has already done and there
is still something else He will do before go.
So, keep on worshipping Him.
Now, we are going to, in the main time write
down your prayer points which we will pray for few minutes, then I will do what
God ask me to do tonight; we would then thank God and be on our way.
You want to write down your prayer
points:
- 1. Praise Him that you belong to the winning side.
- And the rest means serious warfare with yourself
- 2. You will say: Father, in the name of Jesus, I decree, every sickness, every disease in my family as a whole, leave tonight.
- You want to attack the enemy now, go ahead and attack.
- 3. You will say: Father, in the name of Jesus, I decree, every agent of the devil in my home, get out tonight.
- 4. Every force standing in my way, be destroy tonight.
- 5. Face the devil himself squarely and say: Father, in the name of Jesus, I command Satan to take his dirty hands off me, of my family, of my finances, and of the church of God.
The rest of us, I give you ten minutes to pray
these five prayers. Please pray them with all your heart.
It will be a good idea if you pray them
standing.
Only ten minutes now. So, go ahead and pray
with all your heart because your destiny depends on this.
Thank You.
In Jesus mighty name we have prayed.
I want you to join hands with your neighbour
now.
We are going to pray in agreement.
Those of you who came forward for prayers; I
rejoiced with those of you who are carried forward who are walking now.
Just go back to your seats and the rest of
you, you go back to your seat also, the anointing will continue his work even
as you go.
Hold your neighbours hand and cry to the
Almighty God.
Father, please arise and fight for this Your
child.
Go ahead talk to the Almighty God. Father,
arise, fight for this Your child; fight for this Your child. Almighty God
arise, Lord of host arise, fight for this Your child. Almighty God arise,
please arise and fight for this Your child; fight for this Your child. Almighty
God please arise and fight for this Your child; fight for this Your child.
Fight for this Your child O Lord. Fight for this Your child. Fight for this
Your child. Thank You Father. O Yes! Fight for Your child.
In Jesus mighty name we have prayed.
Please still hold the hand of your neighbour;
and say: Father, let this Your child become a perpetual winner, never to
lose any battle again.
Go ahead talk to the Almighty God. This Your
child make him a perpetual winner, don't let him ever lose another battle;
never lose a battle again. Thank You Father. Don't let Your son ever lose a
battle. O! blessed be Your holy name. Thank You my Father.
In Jesus mighty name we have prayed.
And so shall it be in Jesus' name.
We have two more prayers to pray, but, I will
explain to you before you pray them.
I think it was 1981/2, I was visiting a town
in Ondo State and one of my son said Daddy, I have a big
factory but there is one doctor- a herbalist, who has built a shrine opposite
my factory.
I don't want to mention the name of the fellow
because of what followed.
Let just call him doctor KK - that is not the
name.
He said because of the evil that goes on in
his shrine: children being use for rituals and so on, nobody wants to come near
that place - they cannot come to my factory.
I said why don't you report him to the Police
he said, haa! he is highly connected.
So, we went.
And I stood on the balcony of the factory and
raise my hand towards the shrine and I prayed a simple prayer.
Some days later, a thunder boat came from heaven...,
because the shrine was under an Iroko tree; split the Iroko tree into piece,
destroy the entire shrine
...and my son who was disappointed because all
I did was raise my hand, he said, now I know the meaning.
I am going to raise my hands tonight because
Daddy ask me to do so and then you will pray a prayer; that is number one.
Number two, which am sure some of you have
heard before.
My home town is only 8km from Ife but
the road joining my town to Ife was not built.
So, to go to Ife you had to
go to Ilesha 20km and then go from Ilesha to Ife another
30-something km; so, it was an Israelite journey.
So, I went to visit home when I became General
Overseer and they told me this is the only request we have - 'we want the road
to link use direct to Ife'
I asked what direction they want the road to
take and I raise my hand.
Six month later, the Federal government
decided to build a road.
And the journey of 50km became 8km.
I believe God is about to open direct road to
success for someone here.
So, you are going to stand on your feet and
your first prayer has I raise my hand is that the fire of God would descend
tonight and everything that has been blocking your destiny must be destroyed.
Now before you pray; because many at times
when we do things like this, you may thing we are joking.
I heard a testimony just a few days ago of
someone who had had a very serious case with Government of America; and they
have almost bankrupted him.
So, he told his friend and that friend said, I
have a comb here that Daddy G.O bless. I can give it to you; you will comb your
hair - comb away what you don't want.
Few days later, not only do they dismiss the
case, they ask the Government to pay him half a million dollars.
Don't joke with whatever we do here.
I am going to raise my hands now - pray with
all your heart that: the Almighty God, my God, will send down fire and
everything that have been blocking your destiny, be consumed tonight.
And you keep praying until I stop you.
Okay! You can go ahead.
In Jesus mighty name we have prayed.
I am going to lift my hands again; and your
prayer this time around would be: Father, build me an express way to success.
Thank You Father...In Jesus mighty name we have prayed.
Beginning from now, your Israelites journey
ends. From this moment onward, you will have direct access to success. You will
have direct access to victory. And anyone or anything blocking your destiny
will be gone before the sun rises. You will testify.
So shall it be.
In Jesus mighty name we have prayed.
Alright! If you receive your own let me hear
you shout hallelujah.
