.. Tell your neighbour: My Sun shall Rise Again.

2. By now, we should be preparing for the Holy Ghost Congress from 3rd to 8th December, 2018 whether the devil likes it or not, you will be around.

The theme is: GLORY AHEAD

3. All the Workers should note that we will be having a meeting after the November 2018 Holy Ghost Service.

Tonight, I just want to thank God for the kind of children He has given me.

Each time we have the opportunity to ask the Youths to take the Program, we have been mightily blessed. Tonight has been exceptional and good. Every Choir and Preachers performed well. All the Preachers came one after the other and really showed that our future is alright.

In the past, we gave discovered that Preachers from the North always set us on Fire. But tonight, if I were to do things in my own way, I will just said that we should go home. Initially, I tried to jot down but suddenly realised that he was not preaching but bringing to us directly a message from the throne of Heaven.

When he made the altar call for those of us who are really recommitting themselves to becoming addicted Soul Winners; you hear him say daddy come and pray for us. I just wave at him – my son I need prayers too. Oh yes, I go round the world winning souls but I need prayers because quite a few of my children do seems to catch the Fire.

The Fire of some people seems to be going out. There are some people who used to burn. Some how the Fire of some Evangelist seems to be dying down.

One of the Guest on Dove in one of their Programs was speaking and he said something clearly that have been agitating my mind for a while.

What was it that he said?

He said in the past our hunger was centered around “the man that God will use”; ” the man God uses”.

So we are hungry as we want to be the man God will use. We want to learn what it will take for God to use me? What is the Price I have to pay for God to say: “I want to use this boy”.

But today, things have really changed. Now people are looking for “a God that man will use”. I was watching and tears came to my eyes. Because in those days we pray that the Almighty God will make me a Vessel Unto Honour – even if it will cost my life; at least it will be a life with a Purpose. And we are willing to surrender all to Him.

When I came into Full Time Ministry; you don’t become Head of Department of a Department of Mathematics and come out to become the Pastor of a Church which is unknown.

Today I listen to Prayers that we pray: God promote me, Heal me, give me Breakthrough, give me a wife. In those days, those who are not married are afraid to go to the Pastor to say that I have found a fellow that I will marry.

Because this young man quoted q verse common to us then – considering the terror of the Lord, we persuade men.

We saw that the world is going to hell and we wanted to at least rescue some. God use me!

We heard the story of a couple, who just got married and are Missionaries who came to Africa. They saw a colony of lepers surrounded by a Wall and they got to the gate and asked the gateman: Do the people inside there has anyone who preaches the Gospel to them? And the gateman said who will go in there? Anyone who goes in doesn’t come out. Ah, they said we will like to go in there. The gateman said we only throw food to them – when we open the gates, anyone who goes in doesn’t come out. But the couple insisted that they had to go and preach to them. The husband looked at the woman: My dear what do you say? She said all the Lord says is “GO”. He didn’t said anything about coming back. Of course the gateman opened the door for them and they went in.

We heard that in those days true stories of a Missionary preaching the Gospel in a Village in Africa and then asked if there are still other Villages. They told him yes but that there are lions on the way that are hungry. And the lady Missionary says that I must go and preach the Gospel to them too. And one old man who has just given his life to Jesus Christ said that if you must go then I will go with you. Then the Missionary looked at him and said you! You cannot even defend yourself talkless of defending me. And the old man said that you don’t understand; Lions don’t kill except they are hungry. I will go ahead of you; they will kill me and while eating me you will be able to go.

We heard stories of a woman in Accra Ghana when it used to be called Gold Coast – a very poor woman. She gave her life to Jesus Christ and everything. When the Evangelist is passing through the Village but she has nothing to give. So one day, the woman dropped a gold coin for him. The Evangelist said that you have given your life to Jesus Christ and that means that you won’t steal anymore. She said of course yes I know. Where then do you get the money? Oh, I sold myself. I am now a slave now for someone. If Jesus Christ sold Himself then I should be able to give myself to Him.

In those days, we were thought only of the man ‘God will Use”. So when I gave my life to Jesus Christ and I became Full Time Pastor; I open doors for my children to follow my example. The first to follow as I could remembered is Pastor Odeyemi – he resigned his job. If you can do it then I can do it too. It was not long after then Pastor Daramola did and then quite a few others

We are ready to go anywhere and it does not matter the hardship, we just couldn’t care less. Our joy was that as long last, God is using me.

Now people don’t want to go unless they check: Is there electricity in that place? Will I have fridge? Will I have Television? Will they buy me a car?

And yet God said, my daddy said to my hearing and I told you at the beginning of the year that: “The Countdown to the End has started”.

How many of you remembered that?

Though am not a Prophet but a Pastor. But I do hear from God once in a while. The same time that I told you that God said there will be massive floods this year and I told you here just last Month from this same altar that the flood is not over yet.

How many of you remembered that of last Month if you don’t remembered that of January.

The same One who told me that is the same One who told me that “The Countdown to the End” has started.

And yet we are at ease. We couldn’t care less if my neighbour wants to go to hell; let him go.

It was because we are determined to be Vessels unto Honour in the Hands of God that is why you could find us in Libra and in other Places that you will think that you people must be crazy to go there. That is why you could have my son in Papa New Guinea. Do you know where that is? When you get to Australia, you will still travel for six and half hours by air to get there.

We could not careless as we want to go anywhere because we want to be Vessels Unto Honour in God’s Hands.

A sister came to visit me of blessed memory when I just moved to the camp. And for your information, the first bed that I slept on in this camp was made by myself. When a Mathematician makes a bed, you can know the kind of bed it is. She said is this where you live now? I said yes ma. No electricity? Who cares. Living with snakes and pythons? Who cares? As long as am a Vessel unto Honour in His Hands.

Forgive me tonight if I don’t preach a long sermon tonight. My sermon is already in the song that you sang:

Am moving forward. No one can stop me because the Wind of God is blowing for me.

Am going up, no one can stop me because the Spirit of God is residing in me.

I am free. Nobody can cage me. Why? My friend (my Jesus Christ) has the keys of David.

… You put me in Prison, He will Open the Door.

Reaching the Top, I won’t stop before I reach the top. Why? Because the One Promoting me has “Everlasting Arms”.

And like that young man told you: I told them yesterday when I spoke to the Youths that you cannot kill a dead man as he is already dead.

The Bible says that we are already dead and our live hidden in Jesus Christ. So you cannot kill me. If I die, it is because my time has come. When my time comes, I will go but when my time has not come, nobody can kill me.

Why are you afraid to step out and risk your life for Jesus Christ?

I was talking to some of my children abroad. They are living in comfort and it is not their own fault as everything there is comfort). I mean Prisoners there has Colored Television – so you can imagine what is going on. So am not surprised if your Christianity is lukewarm.

But I still know that I have some of my children; can still mention some and can give us just an example: This one is not in the News. Boko Haram went to visit one of my Pastors that they wanted to kill. He wasn’t at home but the wife was there with a set of new born twins. They say we will leave a message for your husband and in the presence of the mother; they slaughtered the twins.

I heard about it; I said to my son that let me bring you to the South as you have already paid your dues. Do you know what he said: Daddy you thought us never to turn our back to our enemies. I am not running away. You thought us daddy that when God said we should put on the whole Armour of God; there was no Armour for our back.

It simply means that you don’t turn your back to the enemies. Light don’t run away from darkness.

That is the kind of children that I want – the kind if children that I had, the kind of children I must have.

That was why when that boy says: come and pray for us, I don’t want him to see my tears and asked him to continue as I need prayers too.

The late King of Ijebu Igbo (Ogun State Nigeria) is one of my son of blessed memory. He came to me and say E.A (we are intimate and so calls me my initials) that he thinks that he is ready to go home. I said which home? He said Heaven. I said to him: you want to go home and he said what else do you want from an old man, an Oba (King) who has achieved all? Then I asked him: How many souls have you won? I told him that there are Palaces they won’t let me enter but will open for you. So you are not going anywhere. He was around for more than ten (10) years after that.

What are you going to say when you get before your Saviour? What will be your excuse?

Now if the old people are willing to postponed their Home Going – am telling you of someone who has reached certain age and seen Heaven. If you get a glimpse of Heaven, you may want to go Home. But if the old man could say I postponed my going then what will be the excuse of the Youth?

The Redeemed Christian Church of God (RCCG) is a Covenant Church. The Almighty God told my father in the Lord that when I return, I will meet this Church on Earth and that this Church will go round the world.

That is what He said. Meaning what? Once God has spoken, it is done. If you are not to be in the Army of the Lord to fulfill this Covenant; He will raise a REPLACEMENT.

He told the children of Israel that when they got to the border of the Promised Land that they should go in. They said that there are giants there. And God said ok, die there.

… But as for the land that I have promised to Abraham, if you don’t go, your children will go. And those who said that they cannot go; He made them to go in cycles for forty (40) years with none of them entering the Promised Land except the two (2) that said we can go and we can do it.

We said that we should double at least once every year. Let everyone just win a soul. That young man said that you cannot win a soul in a year; when somebody could promise God a thousand soul!

At my age, I still travel all over the world – am not a trader and business man and I won’t be one. That is not my assignment. My assignment is to win souls. And you have a greater opportunity than I have – you live among these people

I told my Senior Pastor yesterday that I just returned from Israel. What did I go to do there? They are having the celebrations of the ‘Feast of Tabernacle”. People came from all over the world. They send an Invitation Letter to me to come and preach and I accepted it. But you will think everybody coming to Israel will be a Christian. When they gave me the microphone, I spoke on what they asked me; then I gave an altar call and half of the Congregations came out to give their life to Jesus.

That’s why I went. That’s why I accepted the Invitation Letter. I was asked to preach at the wedding ceremony of the children of an Ex-President. At the end of the sermon, I gave an altar call. Someone said why should I make an altar call? You don’t want me to give an altar call and you call me to your event? Don’t give me the microphone because if you give me, you may not call me back but that opportunity I won’t lose it.

My beloveth children if you want to write down; I will give you an outline of the sermon that I wrote because you will pray tonight.

What does it means to be Indomitable?

1. Indomitable means that you cannot be stopped from moving forward.

Exodus 14: 1-28; the children of Israel got to the Red Sea; the Red Sea was saying to them that you cannot go further; the Wind of God blew and the Red Sea parted.

So nobody can stop you from going forward because the Wind of God is blowing forward for me you today.

If the Purpose of my life is to preach the Gospel of Jesus Christ and win souls; anyone who stand in my way, the Wind of God will blow him off.

2. Indomitable means nobody can keep you from Rising.

You know the story of Joseph in Genesis Chapters 37, 39, 40 and 41. Everything the devil could do to make sure Joseph will not rise; he tried it but failed.

Why? Because Pharaoh said that there is something in this man – “The Spirit of God”.

That is why the 2nd Verse of that song says: Am rising, nobody can stop me because the Spirit of God is residing in me.

3. Indomitable means that nobody can stop you from reaching the top.

And the reason is simple; because the Everlasting Arms are underneath you and lifting you up.

God Himself said that you shall be the Head and not Tail; Above Only and not Beneath.

4. Indomitable means that nobody can keep you in Prison.

They just cannot cage you. If they throw you to a Prison, He will come and lose you.

Revelations 3:7 says because He has the Keys of David.

5. Indomitable means that you cannot be killed.

Colossians 3:3 says that my life is in Christ. Anyone who wants to kill me will first kill God, open His stomach to bring out Jesus Christ. Then he will kill Jesus Christ, open His stomach  to bring me out.

If you cannot kill God then you cannot kill me. Have never met anyone who can kill God.

Am not preaching a sermon. But I want to tell those of you who has been joking with the issue of your Salvation (don’t say I didn’t warn you); the Countdown to the End has started.

Do you know what? That means that anyone of us here today could be gone tomorrow.

And you know what? Those of us who are in Christ are not bothered. As a matter of fact, we looked forward to a time when we will leave this world and go to Heaven.

If you have seen Heaven (by the Grace of God have seen my House); the only thing that will not allow you to commit suicide is that if you commit suicide you will miss it.

The only fellow who should be afraid of death is the fellow who is not born again, whose life is not hidden in Jesus Christ and sins not washed away.

If they die, they will go to the other side and am telling you that the other side is horrible.

So if you are here and you have not given your life to Jesus Christ in your own interest as you are not doing it for anyone come out so that you may escape the terror of the Lord. So come and give your life to Jesus Christ now. I will count from 1 to 10 and you better burry up as we want to pray.

Those of us already in front and those of us that are still on their way; let us ask God to have Mercy on you, save your soul and wash away your sins with His blood. Tell Him that you don’t want to go to hell.

For the rest of us, let us stretch forth our hands towards them and tell the Almighty God who saved your own soul to save their own souls too. Tell Him to have Mercy on them. Please intercede for them.

In Jesus Mighty Name we prayed!

GO PRAYS: Saviour, I want to thank you for speaking to us yourself tonight. Thank you for your Words that come forth through your child. Thank you for these ones who has come forth to the altar.

Lord remember you Promise that whosoever come to you; you won’t cast away. They have come to you please have Mercy on them, save their souls, wash away their sins and give them a brand New Beginning. From now on, anytime they call you, answer them by Fire.

In Jesus Mighty Name we have prayed.

Brethren, let us rejoice with them. While they are filling the cards, I want to encourage you further. No one can pay for your Salvation. The Salvation you just received was bought by Grace – it is free. But at least you can respond to it.

There are many people waiting for their life to be transformed and they are waiting for you.

When I got born again, I was determined to use every means to reach out to people. So I started writing tracts. One of them got to the prison in Ilorin. A prisoner wanted to use it to wrap India Hemp and smoke but decided to read first. Today he is an elder in the Church.

In my eagerness to win souls for God,. So, when I heard about Nigeria hosting Festac (gathering of people to sing and dance); I made up my mind to gather students together so that we could sing and study the Bible together. That was how we started the Convention in 1976. I got all the school addresses from WAEC; wrote to each of them. When I discovered that there was no money to buy stamps; I sold my car.

Responses started coming in. Then suddenly I was faced with the problem of how to feed them. But once God knows what you want to do, He will make a way for you.

… Don’t think of a God that you can use; think of how God can use you and how you can be Vessel unto Honour in His Hands.

Your Prayers this Evening will be as follows:

1. Preambles: David said I will live and not die. Why? Because I want to declare the Glory of God.

Lord, lengthened my life because I want to serve you. I don’t want to due young if you wish because I want to serve you.

2. Almighty God, fill me to Overflow with your Holy Spirit such that when I open my mouth to Witness, your Words in my mouth will be Fire and their hearts like feeble so that I can win their soul.

3. Father, set me on Fire for you. Baptise me with your Holy Spirit so that I can be Untouchable for the enemy as no one touches Fire.

4. Father, let your Wind blow in my favour; let your Wind blow in favour of my family; let your Wind blow in favour of your Church so that we can match forward for you and no one will be able to stop us.

… The altar is open for you to come and pray. Please pray tonight. Let the Heavens hear your Prayers – Not Silent Prayers. We are Pentecostals, we cry out a lot. So open your mouth and don’t just murmur.

… Thank you Lord. In Jesus Mighty Name we have prayed – Amen!

GO PRAYS:

In the Name that is above every other names; you will not die. You will live long. You will be healthy. You will declare the Works of God. God will fill you to Overflowing. He will Baptise you with Fire. You will be Untouchable to the enemies. The Wind of the Holy Spirit will blow for you. Every obstacles on your way, anything not allowing you to fulfill destiny; the Wind of God will blow away.

From now on, it will be easy for you to win souls. It shall be well with you. God will use you for His Glory.

In Jesus Mighty Name we have prayed – Amen!

SONG:

I have decided to follow Jesus (4ce)

No turning back (2ce).

The Cross before me, the world behind me (4ce)

No turning back (2ce)

You take the whole world and give me Jesus (4ce)

Am satisfied (2ce)
