Accept our worship in
Jesus' name.
Accept our worship in
Jesus' name.
Tonight, Your
children are here just to praise You; as we do so Lord, that kind of victory we
never dreamt possible give to us in Jesus' name.
Victory over
sickness, victory over disease, victory over barrenness, victory over poverty,
victory over lack, victory over bondage, victory over sorrow, victory over
hopelessness, give to us in Jesus' name.
As we praise You
tonight Father, have mercy on us; have mercy on our family; have mercy on Your
church; have mercy on Nigeria.
Please Lord God
Almighty, by the time we leave here in the morning, put a new song in our
mouth.
Let this month be the
month of breakthroughs.
Thank You Almighty
God.
In Jesus mighty name
we have prayed.
Amen.
Let somebody shout
hallelujah.
Shake hands with two
or three people and say this month will be very very successful for you.
And then you may
please be seated.
God bless you.
When you look at
everything God created, He created them for one thing and for one thing only:
to give Him pleasure.
Birds sing to Him.
The Bible says, even
the tree clap their hands.
Now, I will share
this one with you; don't worry my sermon won't be long, my children have taken
all the time which is the way I want it to be.
A night is coming
now, when they will just finish like this and I will come and I will just say
hey! do you have any prayer request? And you will pray your prayer request and
I will agree with you and we will be on our way. That will be a great day.
Because I too want to
come, seat down and just enjoy God instead having to preach.
So, one night I was
working, there is highway somewhere in Lagos State, and I was working by the
beach at night praying.
And suddenly I ask
this question in my mind.
You know the Ocean is
always coming up, slapping the beach, going back, and as it is proceeding,
another wave is coming to hit the beach.
And I said God, why
is the sea so restless?
You know there are
question you can ask your God when you are alone with Him.
And Daddy said to me:
the sea is clapping.
And when we ask you
to clap...
Come on, put your
hands together for the One who created you; the One who created you.
Thank You Father.
And so let us put our
hands together for all the wonderful people who had minister tonight.
Let us give God glory
for these wonderful children.
God bless you all.
Amen.
Now, as to be
expected, many of these children have been preaching as if they saw my note.
Thank God for God that He told me in advance some of the things some of them
will be preaching so that I can dodge.
So, I will not read
the whole text since some of them had already done the reading.
Acts 16 from verse 25
to the end - it had been read to you.
Paul and Silas were
in prison, at mid-night they began to sing and to praise God and suddenly there
was an earthquake and prison doors were opened; every one bonds was loose; the
Jailer came and bow down to these people who are praising God.
The Jailer got
converted with his entire house and so on and so forth.
So, I am going to
just give you very briefly an outline of a sermon; I believe God will add the
flesh; but you must be ready to pray.
No matter how brief
our time, we are here to pray.
There are seven types of victory
How many types?
I cannot hear you
You are not writing
with your mouth: how many types?
Number One: Victory
after Defeat.
In Joshua chapter 7
verse 1 to 12: Joshua decides to go to war without God. The result is a
terrible defeat.
But he was wise
enough to fall on his face before God and say, I have made a mistake; I should
have consulted You before going to battle. I should not have gone without You.
And God said alright
- you have restituted your ways, we will go together now; and God thought him
what to do.
And by the time you
get to Joshua chapter 8 from verse 1 to the end: the one who defeated them, who
defeated Israel before became completely wiped out.
I am praying for somebody here tonight that God
will change your defeat to victory.
When you go to war
without God on your side, you are heading for defeat.
But the moment you
invite God in, into your defeat, He will turn the defeat to victory.
I will quickly remind
you of a story of one of my daughters; married with four children and the
husband packed out of the house to go and live with a woman with five children.
Some of you know the
testimony.
It was at that stage
she came.
Daddy, I fought for
my husband; but this strange woman defeated me, taken over my husband.
Now! I need God's
help.
And I told her, when
we invite God in now, that husband of yours will come to beg.
She said, no no no, I
am not asking him to come and beg, I will beg him to come back - just anything
to get him back.
I said no, don't
worry; let us talk to God.
We talked to the
Almighty God.
I told her, God will
start quarrel between your husband and the strange woman.
And I believe I am
speaking to someone here already.
You better don't say
yes too loud so that people won't know you are the one.
So, we prayed.
And not long after
that there was a quarrel between her husband and the strange woman.
And the strange woman
said to the husband: don't you know that your head is not correct; because if
you head is correct, how can you leave your wife with four children, to come
and stay with a woman with five children and none of the children is yours.
The man said, I think
you are right.
So, he packed his
load; came back home; knocked at the door; and when the wife open the door, he
prostrated and said please take me back.
The wife said you are
welcome.
When you invite God
into your defeat, He will change into victory.
Stand on your feet.
You are going to cry
to the Almighty God now and say: Father, this very night, change all my
defeats to victory.
Go ahead talk to the
Almighty God.
Every defeat in my
life, this very night my Father and my God change it to victory. Have I been
defeated in my place of work, change it to victory. Have I been defeated in my
marriage, change to victory Daddy. Have I been defeated spiritually, change it to
victory. Any form of defeat in my life, change it to victory Lord, change it to
victory tonight. Any form of defeat, change it to victory. And Lord, You know
that there are areas in my life where I have been defeated, please Lord God
Almighty change my defeat to victory.
Thank You Jesus.
In Jesus mighty name
we have prayed.
So shall it be in
Jesus' name.
Please be seated.
Second type of
victory is Victory without a Defeat
This time, you go to
war with God on your side; and so, if you get victory without a defeat.
1Samuel 17 verse 34
to 51: David said, I had fought with a lion, I defeated the lion.
I had fought with a
bear, I defeated the bear.
I am going to fight
Goliath, I will defeat him also.
And he gave us the
secret and he said, the Lord that deliver me out of the hand of the lion; that
deliver me from the hand of a bear; the same Lord will deliver me from the hand
of Goliath.
When you fight with
God on your side, with God fighting with you, you will always have victory
without a defeat.
I said I will be
brief. I will just go quickly over that.
I will give you an
example, like I explain to some of you the reason I give this example is that
if you don't believe the stories in the Bible, you think those are the olding
days - let me tell you what is happening today.
While I was a
lecturer at the University of Lagos, one of my spiritual sons came to me and
said, I don't know what I going to do, my boss in my place of work says: I will
never be promoted as long as he is here because I refused to join his secret
society.
I say that is no
problem.
If he has decided to
constitute a mountain in your way, the Bible says we should tell mountain to
move.
How many of you want
mountain in your life to move tonight?
Anyway we prayed a
simple prayer and suddenly, that Boss was transferred; my son was promoted to
take his place.
They created a new
department in that place of work and brought that Boss back so that the two of
them are equal.
He said you won't be
promoted as long as I am here; so, God moved him, did the promotion and brought
him back.
I want you to stand
on your feet; lift your voice to the Almighty God and say: Father,
every mountain blocking my way, let it move tonight, let it move tonight, let
it move tonight.
If the mountain is a
human being, transfer him. If the mountain is any Law, any Regulation in my
place of work, change the regulation, change the rules. Every mountain blocking
my way Lord, move it; let it be move tonight, let it be move tonight. Every
mountain - physical; every mountain - spiritual; every mountain - marital;
every mountain - financial; every mountain blocking my way my Father and my
God, tonight, move these mountain. Fight with me Lord and get this mountain out
of the way, get the mountain out of the way. Move every mountain Lord, that
Your name might be glorify. Let every mountain move, let every mountain move.
Thank You Father.
In Jesus mighty name
we have prayed.
So shall it be in
Jesus' name.
Please be seated.
I see that some of
you are praying as if you have no mountain; that is great.
May you never have
one.
Type three of victory
is Victory without a fight.
Deuteronomy 28 verses
1 and 7. The Bible says if you would harken diligently to the voice of the Lord
your God, to observe and to do all his commandments which I command thee this
day;
He said then, the
enemies that rise up against you will be smitten before your face.
You are not the one
who will do the smiting.
He said, they will
come against in one way, and they will flee seven ways.
You see, there
is a different between God fighting with you and God fight for you.
When God is fighting
for you, you don't have to fight - He does the fighting - you just be watching.
Romans chapter 8:31
says, if God be for us who can be against us.
And my children have
referred again and again to 2Chronicles chapter 20 from verse 1 to the end -
talked about three kings coming against a very small king: himself, his wife,
and his children; the entire nation, his entire Armies, they were so small,
they were able to stand before the temple of God - that will tell you how big
they are. You we say what kind of Army is that?
They are nations in
this world today (laughing); one of the nation were the Redeemed Christian
Church of God is register, they have twenty five policemen.
How many policemen?
And they still have a
Commissioner of Police.
They have five
prisoners as at the time we go there and the prisoners are allowed to go home
at weekends.
But they are a
nation.
They have head of
state recognized by United Nation.
Don't let me divert;
if I tell you some of this things you will really laugh.
But that was how
small the Army of Jehoshaphat was and there were three mighty kings.
In a situation like
that because people said, how can a king obey God when says put the choir in
front.
He has nothing else;
as they say in Yoruba land: when the water has reached your neck, you don't
need calash to take your bath.
There are some
battles you cannot fight even if you say you want to fight.
But when God is
fighting for you, you win without a fight.
I think it was in
Turkey that I told my children this story...; by the way, we had a wonderful
time in Turkey.
We missed you; it was
a pity you could not come.
It was a fantastic
time we had.
I told them that in
one of the great nations of the world, powerful nations of the world; my
children sent to me and say Daddy, we have completed our church building, we
want you to please come an dedicate it.
I said okay; and then
we agreed on a date; and they began to advertise.
And then one very
Senior Government Official, I don't want to give his title so you don't begin
to guess, heard about it.
For one reason or the
other, he got angry.
He said, he had read
about The Redeemed Christian Church of God that we said we want a church within
five minute distance of one another; he sad this church will not stand in my
vicinity.
He said the church
will not be dedicated!
He said over his dead
body.
So, my children contacted
me and said what do we do?
Shall we postpone the
date while we think of what to do - I mean this man is very powerful; very
rich, very influential?
I said: we do
nothing.
Haa! We are thinking
of fasting and praying; some of them were suggesting we take him to court that
if the court rules against him...;
This man has so much
influence, he would silence the Judge.
So, what are we going
to do?
I said: nothing.
Do we postpone the
day of dedication?
I said no; the day
stands.
A week before the
date of dedication, he was getting ready to go and attend a meeting where they
will decide not to ever open our church.
He got up in the
morning to dress; he put his left leg in the left section of the trouser; and
for one reason or the other, he put the right leg also in the same trouser.
And while he was
struggling to free himself he fell and hit his head against something.
By the time he
arrived in the hospital bed, the right leg was still with the left leg in the
same trouser section.
Somebody say Daddy
you killed him
I said: me! no ooo! I
didn't even pray. I did nothing.
Stand on your feet;
and say: Father, fight my battles for me.
Go ahead talk to the
Almighty God.
Fight my battles for
me Almighty. Fight my battles for me.
Thank You Father.
You are the Lord of
host; You have never lost a war, fight my battles for me. Fight my battles for
me.
Thank You Father.
Thank You Almighty God.
In Jesus mighty name
we have prayed.
So shall it be in
Jesus' name.
Please be seated.
I mean, there are
battles you can fight; there battles you cannot fight.
If the Doctor tell
somebody who has cancer that there is nothing more they can do; haa! you can
really hand over the battle to God.
And every one of you facing a battle too big
for you, you will get victory tonight in Jesus name.
The forth type of
victory is when enemies leave you alone - they just leave you alone.
Like in Psalm 23
verse 5: thou prepareth a table before me in the presence of my enemies.
Let the enemies just
leave me alone - let them leave me alone.
Proverbs 16 verse 7
says: when a man's ways please the God, He makes even his enemies to be at
peace with him.
That is while
praising God is wonderful thing.
When you praise Him,
you please Him. And when you please Him, He tell the enemy, leave this
boy alone; can you not see he is praising Me.; can you not see he is praising
Me.
Psalm 92 verse 1
says: it is a good thing to give thanks unto the Lord, to sing praises unto thy
name, O most high.
If I do that good
thing which is praising You, then, He says something will happen: my eyes shall
see my desire of my enemies - I just want the enemies to leave me alone.
In 2Kings chapter 7
verse 1 to 11 (somebody referred to it among my boys): when there was a siege
against a whole city; the Almighty God decided that the best way to lift the
siege is to drive the enemies away and the enemies heard a noise.
Now, some of us don't
have big enemies, we only have small once.
Those of you who have
small once and you are managing them.
Well! May I say:
congratulations!
But I don't want any
enemy at all - small or big.
What about you?
I told you what
happen when we first came to this ground.
There were this
little little birds; tiny tiny birds and they just bombarded the camp.
They came by the thousands.
By the time they
arrived in the morning, if they focus on one tree, by the evening time, there
will be no leave left on that tree - they would have turned it to small small
net.
And they were all in
the place.
Now, you will say why
bothered about such.
Oh! If you hear their
noise!
So, I said to the
Almighty God, please help.
We have some boys
here then, they were attending the Bible College, and I was staying in my first
wooden house over there.
And one of them had
gun
Let the enemies leave
me alone, let them leave me alone. Let them leave me alone. Let them leave
alone. Let the just leave me alone so that I can face my life without any
distraction, without any disturbance, any enemy: small or great, let them leave
me alone. Let them leave me alone Father, I want to face my assignment; I want
to be able to leave my life in peace. No more irritations, no more
distractions.
Thank You Father.
In Jesus mighty name
we have prayed.
So shall it be in
Jesus' name.
Victory number five: is
when enemy becomes a friend - when former enemy becomes a friend -
that is a very good victory.
In Acts chapter 9
verse 17 to 21...
Haa! Thank You Father.
The Lord says there is someone here and you
came here tonight knowing that the enemy is hot on your heels, pursuing you
vigorously; the Lord ask me to tell you, I will open the gate for you to escape
and then I will shut the gate against those who are pursuing you.
Haa! thank You Lord.
This one is good; I
want to say amen to it.
The Lord says there is someone here tonight; He
wants to do two things for. Number one: He says he want to move you from the
valley to the hill top. And then number two: He says if you are grateful, He
will move you from hill top to the mountain top.
If you are the one, I
think you should shout a big hallelujah.
Acts chapter 9 verse
17 to 21: the Bible tells us about the conversion of Saul of Tarsus.
He was great enemy of
the church.
Then, on the road to
Damascus, He had an encounter with God. He became a Christian and then he
started preaching the gospel.
And everybody began
to say ha ha, this was an enemy before; he was the enemy of this people; he was
the ark enemy...
Well! Now, he is a
friend.
In Daniel chapter 3,
read the whole story from verse 1 to end: you will have another example of
victory.
There was this
Nebuchadnezzar who was busting to Shadrach, Meshach and Abednego - who is that
God that can deliver you from my hand, you are dead, he said.
By the time the story
was over, the same fellow who wanted to roast these boys promoted them - I like
that.
When God arises, He
can turn the former enemy to a very good friend.
In Psalm 132 verse 7
to 9; the Bible says if we go into His tabernacles and worship at His foot
stool, then He will arise for us and the saints will begin to shout for joy.
When your enemies
become your friend, it is very beautiful thing.
I had stories I could
tell you but I am mindful of time.
So, I am just going
to ask you to stand on your feet and pray this prayer anyway without my telling
you the story; because the story I was going to tell is a personal story and
then, I don't want to embarrass anyone.
Just lift your voice
to the Almighty God and say: Father, all the enemies close to me,
before the end of this month, let them become my friend.
Go ahead talk to the
Almighty God.
Enemies in my family,
enemies in my church, enemies in my place of work, all those enemies that are
very close to me; enemies that I cannot even really fight, let them become my
friend this month - this very month let them become my friend; let them become
my friends. You know them Father, some of them I don't even know, some are in
my father's house, some of them are in my mother's house, some of them are my
in-laws, some of them are my assistance, some of them are supposed to be
lifting up my hands; you them all Lord, all I just want is that all this
enemies Father, before the end of this month let them become my friends.
Thank You Father.
In Jesus mighty name
we have prayed.
So shall it be in
Jesus' name.
Let us be seated.
Let us look at number
six.
Number six
victory: is when your enemies become your servant - and l like
that very much.
In Acts 16 that I
read to you or the text we chose, if you look at verse 33 and 34 there (Acts
16:33-34), you will find that the Jailer, the one who was told to keep Paul and
Silas thoroughly bound; was the one who washed their wounds, who prepare food
for them to eat - I like that.
Rather than God
wiping out all my enemies; it would be a better idea if He would change them to
my servants.
Those who don't want
me to make progress it might be a good idea if they will be the one to come and
contribute to my progress.
Or what do you think?
Those who don't want
you to reach the top, all of a sudden they are the one bringing you the Ladder
for you to climb - I think that would be a very beautiful idea.
Those who said you
will never marry, if they are the one who come to prepare the food on the day
of your wedding
Don't you think that
would be a beautiful idea?
Psalm 110 verse 1: God
made a promise that He will make our enemies our foot stool.
Psalm 57 verse 5 to
7: He says when we exalt Him, when we exalt the Almighty, then the pits that
are dug for our feet by the enemies, they will fall into it by themselves.
Those who want to reduce
us to nothing will suddenly become the people who will become our foot stool.
I cannot gloss over
this one because I believe it is going to be true for someone here.
You will remember the
testimony of that lady that I told you about on the day of our wedding when we
went to the registry in Oshogbo; we met somebody there.
We met a lady there,
well dressed, she had her wedding gown, everything, she came for wedding; but
they could not find the husband.
The boy who promised
to marry her, meet me at that registry, was nowhere to be found.
The poor girl nearly
went mad; but somehow she survived it.
And then, she finds a
solider boy to marry and unknown to her, the boy who jilted her also joined the
army.
Then, in one of the
various coups happened in Nigeria; her husband became a military Governor; and
the boy that jilted her became the aide de 'camp of the Governor.
So that anytime this
lady wants to enter her car, it is the former boyfriend that has to open the
door.
Stand on your feet
and lift your voice to the Almighty God and say: Father, turn my
enemies to a servants, let them serve me, let them serve.
All my enemies, let
them become my servants. Let them become my servants. Let them become my
servant Lord. I need somebody to help me climb, then use the enemies Lord, let
them become my messengers, let them become my messenger O Lord; let them become
my servant; let them become my servants.
Thank You Father.
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.
Victory number seven and
this is probably the biggest one - that is when the enemies
come to beg; when the enemies come to apology - to beg you and say I am sorry.
Thank You Father.
The Lord says there is someone here tonight, He
said, those who want to put you to shame, shall be put to shame for your sake.
Thank You Father.
The Lord says there is someone here tonight, He
said you have tried several times and failed, He said after tonight, try again
and you will succeed.
Amen!
You know, one of my
boys who were preaching said "when you praise God that will cause God to
remember His promises and prophecies".
God is saying and I
am saying amen to this one.
God is saying there is someone here today, He
said, the promise I made you to make you special will soon be fulfilled.
I want to close but
Daddy is speaking.
Thank You Daddy
Again, I want to say
amen to this one - I want to say amen and amen and amen
Daddy says there is someone here tonight; He
said there is a special miracle coming your way. Now, that
is beautiful enough but He says a little more - He said, it will
be the first of the series of miracles.
Amen. Amen and Amen.
Now, in the same
text, Acts 16 that we referred to; after the earthquake and the doors is
opened, chains loosed, Jailer came - was saved, washed the wound of Paul and
Silas, fed them...
I was wondering, why
didn't Paul and Silas then go?
But they waited, I
don't know God has something bigger in store; because by the following morning,
those who sent Paul and Silas to prison sent a message to the Jailer - you can
now let those people go.
Haa!
Paul laughed. He said
I am not moving.
Tell them to come and
beg me before I will go. That is very beautiful.
And they all came and
begged him.
In the Name that is above every other name,
before the end of this month, all your enemies will come and beg you.
In 2kings chapter 1,
you can read it from verse 9 up to 14 or 15 - it is up to you. You can read the
whole chapter anyway.
A King sent fifty
soldiers and a captain to go and arrest Elijah.
They came, they saw
him seating on a mountain, they sent man of God come down, you are under
arrest.
He said, me
They said yes.
He said, me!
They said yes.
He said, roast.
And fire descended
from heaven and consumes them.
The king waited for
them to return, he did not see them; and the king respected Elijah.
You have to respect a
man before sending fifty soldiers and a captain who has no weapon.
He sent another fifty
soldiers and a captain. They came, said the same thing; Elijah roasted them
too.
The king sent another
batch - fifty soldiers and a captain; that one came and he looked at the ground
and he saw ashes in the shape of men and did a quick count and found it to be
one hundred and two.
Oh oh; this is what
happened to those who came before.
The Bible said he
fell on his feet and said man of God: please, I won't dear come against you, it
is the king who sent me, spare my life. - I like that.
Your enemies will come and beg you.
A traditional ruler
somewhere in Ogun State, I won't mention names, became born again, and I meant
thoroughly born again not pretending and so, he decreed no more idol
worshipping in my domain.
And the egungun
worshippers said, we have been worshipping egungun here even before your Father
was born not to talk of you; we will worship our egungun - and the worship
ceremony will last seven days.
Three days before the
set time came, the high priest died and they cannot worship without a high
priest; so they postpone the date and selected a new high priest.
Three days before the
postpone day, the new high priest died.
And then they
consulted the third fellow and they said you are the one next - he said no way.
He said the God of
Kabiesi will kill me.
Stand on your feet,
pray one more prayer and say: Father, as a result of praising You
tonight, let all my enemies come and bow.
Go ahead talk to the
Almighty
God.
Thank You Daddy.
All my enemies with
their idols, with their charms, with their power, with their influence, with
everything they say they have, let them come and bow to You Lord, let them come
and bow to my God, let them come and beg, let them come, let them come, let
them come, let them come very soon, let them come, let them come, let them
come. All my enemies let them come and beg; let them come and surrender, let
them come Daddy; let them come, let them come this month. Before the end of
this month let everyone of them come and come and confess and bow and surrender
to You Lord. Let them come.
Thank You Father.
Glory be to Your holy
name.
In Jesus mighty name
we have prayed.
And so shall it be in
Jesus' name.
Please be seated.
Now, my children have
given you the definitions of praise.
They have given you
the definition of victory.
That is while I
decided let me add a little to what the big boys have said and discuss
categories of victory.
But do you know that
when you say you are praising God and you lift your hands to the Almighty, what
you are actually saying is: I surrender.
I told you, I use to
be a Boxer; and one of the things I learnt in those days, gone are those days
forever; is that when two fighters are fighting and one realizes if this fight
continues I may die, he will lift up his two hands: saying I surrender.
And the moment he
lift his two hands, there is the law that the opponent must not hit him again -
not a single blow.
Once the opponent
lift up his hands and say I surrender, no matter how strong you are you must
not touch him again.
So, lifting up your
hands saying to God I surrendered; He will be the referee now in the boxing
ring and pass instruction to all forces of darkness: don't you ever dear touch
that fellow again.
So when we say come
and surrender your life to Jesus Christ that is one of the implications.
The moment you
surrender to Him, you lift up your hands...; hey! Referee, I appeal to you, I
cannot fight these battles anymore.
I am tired of
suffering; I am tired of being beating; I am tired of all these loads coming
from right, left and center; and He, the Everlasting Referee would pass
instructions to all those who had been beating you, had been fighting you, and
say: from now, no more blows.
So, if you are here
tonight and you have not yet surrendered your life to Jesus Christ that is
probably the reasons you are having these blows.
And there are some of
us who would say but I thought I have given my life to Jesus and blows are
still coming - check your surrender - is it total?
Because if your
surrender is not total, any area of your life that is not surrendered to God,
the enemy can still deliver blows.
I surrendered all.
If you want to give
your life to Jesus Christ, you better begin to come.
I can see some of you
very very far away; so, you better get up and begin to come.
If you claim that you
are born again, you know yourself that you have not really surrendered, you
better come.
I am going to count
from one to fifty because of those who are very far away; and I am counting
now...
One, two,
Don't forget, even
the trees clap their hands.
The Ocean claps.
Three, four, five,
six, seven,
As you come, just
surrender - lift your hands to Him. Surrender and begin to pray and ask Him
forgiveness. I surrender to You, just take me as I am.
Eight, nine, ten,
eleven, twelve, thirteen,
Keep coming, keep
coming, just make sure you get here before I finish praying
Fourteen,
Keep coming, keep
coming and keep praying now. Talk to the Almighty God. Ask Him to have mercy on
you; ask Him to forgive all you sins; ask Him to receive you as you are.
Promise Him: I
surrender now and I will do Your will from now on.
Go ahead talk to the
Almighty God.
And please the rest
of us, let us stretch our hands towards this people and intercede for them.
Let us pray that God
who saved our souls will save their own souls also. Pray that God will be
merciful unto them and He will give them a brand new beginning. Evening as they
are surrendering now, let the Almighty picked them up and take control of their
situation from this moment onward.
Let us pray for them
for another thirty seconds.
And if you are still
on the way, keep coming, keep coming; get here before I finish praying because
I must pray now.
Thank You Father.
Thank You Father.
In Jesus mighty name
we have prayed.
Saviour we just want
to say thank You. Thank You for Your goodness, thank You for Your mercy, thank
You Lord of host, thank You for Your word, and thank You for this people who
have come forward tonight, please receive them in Jesus' name; forgive them in
Jesus' name; save their souls in Jesus' name; wash away their sins with Your
blood in Jesus' name; please write their names in the Book of Life and let them
become one of Your children. And I pray that from now on, anytime they call on
You, You will answer them by fire. Thank You my Father and my God.
In Jesus mighty name
we have prayed.
Amen.
Praise the Lord.
Now, Counselors please
come; come and attend to them here.
I want to thank God
for those of you who have come forward. I want to promise you in the name of
Jesus that from now on, I will be praying for you.
So, I am going to
need you names, your address and your prayer request.
The Counselors are
coming, they will give you some cards which I want you to fill very quickly and
you will return to them; and then, as soon as you return it to them, you can go
back to your seat.
I will wait for you
to finish before we proceed further.
Now, brethren, while
we are waiting for our new brothers and sisters to complete their forms, I
think on a night like this without being told, you will want to praise God like
you have never done before.
If you are not too
old, I would appreciate that you stand up and just lift your hands to the
Almighty God and just praise Him.
Praise Him for His
mercy. Praise Him for His goodness. Praise Him for His support. Without Him the
enemy would have finished you before now - it is by His grace; it is by the
mercies of God that we are not consume. Let us praise Him. Let us praise Him.
Let us praise Him - on your own now. From the bottom of your heart praise Him.
He is worthy to be praised; He is worthy to be adored. Magnify His holy name.
Magnify His holy name.
*********Singing in
the Holy Spirit*************
Thank You Father.
In Jesus mighty name
we have given thanks.
I want you to join
your hands with your neighbour; we want to pray one crucial prayer before we go
to thanksgiving. I want you to pray with all your heart. Remember when you are
joining hands like this, you are applying the Law of harvest: what you sow is
what you reap; and the harvest is always bigger than the seed.
So, lift your voice
to the Almighty God and say: Father, make the victory of my neighbour
permanent.
Go ahead talk to the
Almighty God.
Let the victories of
all these Your children be permanent O Lord, let their victories be permanent;
let their victories be permanent; every one of them make their victories
permanent.
Thank You Father.
Let their victories
be permanent.
Thank You Father.
In Jesus mighty name
we have prayed.
And so shall it be in
Jesus' name.
The victory that God has given you today will
be forever. The enemy you saw last night, you will never see again.
In Jesus mighty name
we have prayed.
Amen.
Let me hear somebody
shout a big hallelujah.
In that Name that is
above every other name, all you defeats shall be change to victory. From now,
for the rest of your life you would never need to fight another battle; God
will fight your battles for you. Your enemies shall become friends. They will
leave you alone; they will come and beg you. Your former enemies will become
your servants. Your victory of tonight will be absolute.
Even as you go now,
your song will be victory victory hallelujah. And you will never never see
those previous enemies again. The Almighty God will bless your offering; He
will sanctify it, He will use it for His glory and you will have total victory
over poverty in Jesus' name.
By the time we meet
again next month, in the Name that is above every other name, your joy will be
overflowing. God will grant your requests; and you too, you will serve Him. In
the kingdom of God, known of us will be missing.
In Jesus mighty name
we have prayed.
Amen.
I don't need to tell
you what God will do next month but I can assure you, there will be no month
like July 2016 in the life of every one of us.
So make sure that you
come, you come with your friends, you come with your relatives, you come with
everybody; it is going to be the month of Prosperity and it will be prosperity
all round in Jesus' name.
Now, let me find out
who really has the Biggest Victory tonight.
Let that fellow shout the biggest
hallelujah.
