SONG:
You are the Mighty God
The great I Am
Hallelujah, Hallelujah. (Repeat)
OPENING PRAYERS:
Ancient of Days we Worship you. The Unchangeable Changer we bow before you. The Lion of the Tribe of Judah may your Name forever be Glorified. The I AM that I AM, the Alpha and Omega. The One who is, the One who was, the One who is to come, the Almighty. May your Name be forever be Glorified.
Father tonight, in this great Nation of Sierra Leone; show yourself Mighty. Do the impossible, reverse the irreversible, save souls tonight, heal tonight, set the captives free tonight. Let there be Miracles tonight, let there be Signs and Wonders. And Lord, before the night is over; Let your children sing a New Song.
Thank you Almighty God. In Jesus Mighty Name we have prayed – Amen!
… Now Let somebody shout Hallelujah.
Now i want you to shake hands with two (2) or three (3) people here tonight and Prophesy to them and say; The Fire will Fall for you Tonight!
… And then you may be seated. God bless you!
I want to thank the Almighty God for all the mighty Men of God who have partnered with us to make this Night possible. The Almighty God will continue to bless your Ministries and move you from Glory to Glory.
I had a very warm welcome from our President this morning. And I can assure you; It will be well with this Nation, in Jesus’ Name.
Now, this is not an ordinary Crusade. This is a HOLY GHOST RALLY. And the Bible says, where the Spirit of God is, there is liberty. So tonight, you must expect that the Holy Spirit will move freely among us; and all manner of things (To the Glory of God) will happen.
I’m convinced beyond all doubt that this night, you will never forget. So it is possible that while the Message is on, I will call on you from time to time to pray. And I can assure you of one thing; Every prayer prayed here tonight, before the sun rises tomorrow all will become a Testimony. You say, how do you know? Because God is going to answer us by Fire.
Now, if I ask you to stand up and pray, am only talking to the young ones. The elders can sit down and pray. If you are young, when I say “stand up and pray”, then stand up and pray. Now, my definition of someone who is young is someone who is younger than I. And since am only 76, if you are younger than 76, you are young. If you are older than 76, you are old. Now, you may ask “what if the elders sit down and fall asleep?” That is no problem. The Bible says, the old men will dream dreams. And you have to fall asleep to be able to dream. Amen!
How many young people are here then? Let me hear you shout hallelujah – Hallelujah!
It is also possible that while the Message is on, the Lord could speak concerning a particular situation. So when you hear me say ” there is someone here…”. That is speaking to someone, that someone could end up been a hundred people. So, don’t think am making a mistake. That is the way God does His things.
For example, there is someone here tonight (or reading); You will never weep again! Where is that someone? If you are that someone, let me hear you shout hallelujah – Hallelujah.
My Sermon will be short tonight because all those who have preached before me tonight have done all the job. And am very grateful to them for making my job easy.
The Brother who brought the First Talk did an EXCELLENT JOB. And I think we should give the Lord a BIG round of applause for that wonderful Message. And then, all those who have prayed have done quite a lot of job that I planned to do.
… So my Session is going to be brief.
BIBLE TEXT: EXODUS 3: 1-8
1. Now Moses kept the flock of Jethro his father in law; the Priest of Midian and he led the flock to the backside of the desert and came to the Mountain of God, even to Horeb.
2. And the angel of the LORD appeared unto him in a flame of fire out of the midst of a bush: and he looked and behold the bush burned with fire and the bush was not consumed.
3. And Moses said, I will now turn aside and see this great sight why the bush is not burnt.
4. And when the LORD saw that he turned aside to see, God called unto him out of the midst of the bush and said, Moses, Moses. And he said, Here am I.
5. And He said, draw not high hither: put off thy shoes from off thy feet for the place wherein thou standest is Holy Ground.
6. Moreover He said, I am the God of thy father, the God of Abraham, the God of Isaac and the God of Jacob. And Moses hid his face; for he was afraid to look upon God.
7. And the LORD said, I have surely seen the afflictions of my people which are in Egypt and have heard their cry by reason of their taskmasters; for I know their sorrows;
8. And I am come down to deliver them out of the hands of the Egyptians and to bring them up out of that land unto a good land and a large land, into a land flowing with milk and honey; unto the place of the Canaanites and the Hittites and the Jebusites.
Tonight, we just want to talk briefly about; WHAT HAPPENS WHEN THE FIRE OF GOD FALLS!
1. The first thing that happens when the Fire of God falls is that; GOD REMEMBERS A NATION.
My first visit to Sierra Leone was in 1976. I came then as a Mathematician to Forla-Bay College for Academic visit; something to do with Mathematics. Then I was back again in 2011 – that was Seven (7) years ago. But then something happened a couple of months ago. God spoke to me and said; You are going back to Sierra Leone – God has remembered this Nation.
In Genesis 15:13-14; the Almighty God told Abraham that his children will be foreigners for certain number of years. But then, that later on He, the Almighty God will bring them out; and bring them out with A LOT OF BLESSINGS. Years past, the Prophesy seemed to be a lie. But then, in God’s own Time (because God is always working on time)
… And I believe the time for Sierra Leone has come!
The Almighty God was ever ready to fulfil His Promise. And somehow the devil discovered that something was about to happen. So we read in Exodus 1:8-22; that the children of Isreal had multiplied greatly in Egypt. And suddenly the devil realised that the Time of Deliverance of these people might be near. He moved the king and said to the king; you better do something about these people. Otherwise, they will get out of hand. And the devil realised that there was someone; that there was a child of destiny about to be born. And so he moved the king and said, begin to kill all the children that are born by the Hebrew women. The devil tried, but he was looking for a particular person; he was looking for Moses. It was Moses he wanted to kill but he failed – You know the rest of the story.
Moses grew and then he tried to deliver the child of Israel using his own ability, he failed. And for years, forty (40) years to be exact; he was at the back side of the desert.
But then, in the text that we read, suddenly the Fire began to burn. And when the fire began to burn, God spoke to Moses and said: Now, I have remembered my Nation.
It wasn’t long after that; by the time you get to Exodus 12:35-36 – when the children of Israel were leaving Egypt, they left with silver, they left with gold. Every blessing that the enemy had kept from them for more than 400 years: They got it back in a single night.
WHEN GOD REMEMBERS A NATION:
A. The Nation begins to Prosper Supernaturally.
Not only that, in Exodus 12:30-31 the Bible says that even the enemy began to beg Moses “Please bless me also”
B. When God remembers a Nation, the Nation becomes a Blessing.
I am believing God that from tonight onward; Sierra Leone will become a Blessing to the world.
And so your first prayer tonight (I know you have prayed again and again); but I want you to stand on your feet. And please join me as we lift our voices to the Almighty God and say Father; your Plan for Sierra Leone, begin to fulfill them from tonight.
Let’s call on the Almighty God; You have your Plan for Sierra Leone, as your Fire Falls begin to fulfill.
.. Pray for your Nation also, say Father; Let my Nation (NIGERIA) become a blessing to the world from tonight.
Thank you Father. In Jesus Mighty Name we have prayed – Amen. So shall it be in Jesus Name. God bless you! Please be seated.
2. Now, a Nation is made up of Cities, Towns and Villages. When the Fire Falls and God remembers a Nation; He remembers the Cities, the Towns and the Villages.
For example, in Joshua 6:26; a great Man of God then, by the name Joshua pronounced a curse on Jericho. And that curse began to affect everything that happened in Jericho.
But then one day came, and the Fire Fell, as the Almighty God sent His Horses of Fire and His Chariots of Fire: to move Elijah away and pronounce a blessing on Elisha.
So when we got to 2 Kings 2:19-22; the Men of Jericho came to Elisha, they said “Sir, when you look at our City, everything looks beautiful, but we have problems; there are serious problems in our City: The water is not good, the Land is barren and there is death around the land.” And the Man of God pronounced a Blessing on the City of Jericho; and the Curse ended.
Now look at another example; there is a City called Samaria. By the time you read 2 Kings 6:24-30, there was so much famine in that Town because there was a SIEGE in that land; so much so that women began to eat their children.
But then, the Man of God; upon whom the Fire had Fallen in 2 Kings 7:1-6, made a pronouncement and he said “Within twenty four (24) hours, the SIEGE will be over”.
May I prophecy over your Towns and Cities tonight. I say beginning from now; Every Siege upon your Towns, Cities and Villages shall be lifted.
But then, it didn’t stop there. When you now to trace the story into the New Testament, you will read in Acts 8:5-8, that when the Fire Fell on the Day of Pentecost; It was not long before a Young Man came yo the same Samaria and preached the Gospel to them. And the Bible says “There was Great Joy” in that City.
…There were other Cities around; but it was in the same Samaria that God sent His Servant.
I want you to stand on your feet. You are going to mention the name of your Town or City or Village and say Father; Remember my City today and change our sorrow to Joy. Open your mouth and cry to the Almighty God: Let every Siege in my City, Town and Village be lifted. Let their be Joy today.
Thank you my Father. In Jesus Mighty Name we have prayed – Amen. So shall it be in Jesus Name. Please be seated.
3. Now, a City is made up of Families. So when God remembers a City; it means He could remember a particular Family.
For example in the case of Noah, in Genesis 8:1-18; the whole world had already been wiped out. But there remained a Family; and that family had been held up in the Ark for days. But suddenly, God remembered the family. And the Family began to be blessed again.
And like our Mummy who prayed for the Family told us; there was a day God remembered a Family – the Family of Cornelius. In Acts 10:1-48; several things happened in a single day, when God remembered the Family of Cornelius;
1. God remembered all his offerings. Everything he had ever done for God was remembered in a single day.
There are many of you here (or reading) who have been serving God Faithfully for years and there are even some people who have been asking “If your God is Faithful; how come we have not seen the result of your efforts?”
Well, before the end of this Month, all those who have been laughing at your Family will be Praising your God.
2. In a single day, every member of the Family of Cornelius was saved.
3. In a angle day, every member of Cornelius Family was baptized in the Holy Spirit;
Because when the Fire falls, God can remembers a Family.
… And if God is remembering only two (2) Families here tonight (or reading); your Family will be one (1) of them.
In Genesis 19:29; God remembered Abraham. And because He remembered Abraham, he delivered Lot out of destruction. God can remember a Family, and bring about Deliverance for every member of that Family.
For example, we had a Program like this, there was a young man of thirty nine (39) years old. He was the oldest male member of his Family; because nobody on this family ever reached the age of Forty (40). They died before they were Forty (40) years.
And the Word of God came that there was someone with a curse on his family that would not allow any man reach the age of Forty (40). And God said that He was destroying the curse that day. That man is now over sixty five (65) years old.
I want you to stand on your feet and cry to God and say Father; Remember my Family today. If there is any curse on My Family, destroy it today. Open your mouth and cry to the Almighty God.
Thank you Father. In Jesus Mighty Name we have prayed – Amen. So shall it be in Jesus Mighty Name. Please be seated.
4. Now, we are going close to where we are heading; Every Family is made up of Individuals. So when God remembers a Family; it could mean that He wants to remember a particular Person.
It is possible that the Almighty God brought me all the way from Nigeria to Sierra Leone because of one (1) Fellow. As a matter of fact I have a feeling that there is someone here (or reading); whose Miracles can no longer wait again.
I can prove it to you; I have had a very busy periods these past Months. I have just finished a great Holy Ghost Service in Abuja (Nigeria). My plan was that I will rest on Sunday. But then the Almighty God said NO; You are going to Sierra Leone on Sunday, because on Monday is when the Fire is going to fall.
I believe that the Almighty God had looked down from Heaven and has remembered somebody whose Miracle(s) must happen tonight.
… If you are that one, let me hear you shout hallelujah – Hallelujah.
Now, How do I know HE WILL REMEMBER YOU?
PROPHECY: Oh! Praise the Lord. The Lord says there is someone here tonight (or reading). He said because you came tonight “I will Terminate Barrenness in your Family”.
1. He knew you before you were born; according to Jeremiah 1: 4-5; the Almighty God said: Before I formed you, I knew you. In other words, before your father met your mother; God knew you. And He said even when you are yet in your mother’s womb ” I was already working on you”.
… So I know He will remember you tonight,
because He knew you before you were born.
2. Another reason why I know He will remember you (no matter the crowd) is that; He is the One who named you. In Isaiah 43:1, He said “I call you by your Name”.
So when your parents were saying that “This is what you name will be”; they are merely repeating what God had already called you. So He knew you before you were born; He named you..
3. Another reason why I know He will remember you is in Isaiah 49:16; You are on the Palm of the Most High God.
… Why am I so sure that He will remember you?
4. In Isaiah 49:15 God said; even though your Mummy may forget you, He said “I won’t forget you”.
… How am I so sure He will remember you?
5. Psalm 27:10 says, even if your Mother and your father FORSAKE you, He said “I WON’T”.
Am sure by now you known He won’t forget you.
6. And then in Psalm 121:5 He said; I am your SHADE on your right hand; in other words, as long as you cannot be separated from your shadow: You cannot be separated from the One who created you.
7. Now finally; in Hebrews 13:5 He made a promise; He said ” I will never leave you, I will never forsake you”. Even if it may look as if God had forsaken you; He has not forgotten. He has been waiting for a particular time.
… And that TIME has come!
So, I want you to stand on your feet now and cry unto Him and say Father; This is my Time, remember me tonight. Go ahead an and talk to The Almighty God.
Thank you Father; in Jesus Mighty Name we have prayed – Amen. So shall it be in Jesus Mighty Name. You may please be seated.
Now, What Happens when God REMEMBERS AN INDIVIDUAL?
1. The first thing is that if that Individual was sick; That will be the IMMEDIATE TIME that he will be HEALED.
And i give you an example; In John 5:2-9, the Bible tells us that there was a Pool called “The Pool of Bethesda”. And there were lots of sick people around that Pool. They were there because the Pool had a particular characteristics; in that once a year and an Angel will come down into the Pool, stir it up and the first fellow to jump in after the Angel had gone, will be healed – it doesn’t matter the nature of the sickness.
And so a lot of people went and gathered there; particularly those people that the doctor said “There is nothing we can do for you”; waiting for the STIRRING of the Pool.
Now the Bible said; there was a man who had been there for thirty eight (38) years. Thirty eight (38) years is a long time to be sick. But then finally, the Lord remembered him and God Himself paid him a visit.
And to tell that it was only one (1) fellow that God remembered; Jesus went to that particular man, healed him and left the place.
Now, Jesus had enough Power to heal everyone there; but that day, it was only one (1) fellow that was remembered.
… God will remember you tonight!
2. And then you find another Example in John 9:1-7. It was the story of a man who was born blind. He was forty (40) years old and he has been blind for forty (40) years.
But on a particular day Jesus and His Disciples were passing by; it wasn’t the first time they were passing by, that they saw this man. But all of a sudden, discussions began on him. The disciples asked Jesus; Lord, who was at fault that this man was born blind, himself or his parents?
And if you listen to the answer of Jesus, you will see that He said “No, it is not a matter of sin; it is all that the Almighty God might be Glorified in him”.
In other words, this man came into the world for one purpose; “That God might get Glory”. But for forty (40) years he had been carrying darkness around. Then the day came when God remembered him and that day his darkness became Light.
In the Name of the One who called me; God will remember someone here tonight (or reading now).
3. I give you one (1) ore Example; In Acts 3:1-8, it tells us about a man who was born Lame. He had been lame from his mother’s womb. He came into the world Lame; handicapped.
You see many atimes the doctors will tell you that your problem is “Genetically”. They say; It has been there before you came.
I have Good News for you here (or reading) today; God will surprise the doctors.
And this man was not even hidden. He was sitting at the Beautiful Gate of the Temple. Only God knows how many Priests had passed by; and yet he remained Lame.
But his day came; Just like your day is coming tonight. And God remembered him. And the one who was born lame became somebody who was Jumping, Leaping and Praising God at the same time.
As God lives, by the time you will be going home tonight; You will be Leaping, you will be Praising God.
Because God remembered an individual years ago.
PROPHECY: Oh, Thank you Father. The Lord asked me to tell somebody here (or reading). he asked me to tell you; Don’t lose hope, your breakthrough is nearer than you think.
Yes ago, I was visiting a fellow brother. He asked me to come and preach in his Church, for a weekend. And in a particular Sunday he asked me to go and rest in his office. While he was attending to people; and put somebody at the door to make sure I wasn’t disturbed.
Very soon I began to hear an argument between someone and the man at the door. It was a woman saying; I want to see the Man of God. And the man at the door said “You can’t see him”. Ok, why do you want to see him? “That’s none of your business”.
I was hearing the argument. Finally, the woman came in. I said: Yes Ma, how can I help you? And she said: I have been coming to Church for a long time. I have never heard anybody talk about God the way you talked about Him; and so my Faith is high. That is why I want to talk to you. And secondly, I know that you will be gone by tomorrow.
So I said “What is the problem”? She was dressed like a Muslim sister, only the eyes showing. And then she removed the covering on her face and I saw that she was a Leper. There was leprosy all over her face. So I shook back.
“Sister, you didn’t go to the hospital”? She said: I have two (2) sons. If I go to the hospital, they will take me to The Leper Colony. “Who will take care of my children?”
“And then why didn’t you tell the brethren to pray for you?” She said: I told you, “The reason am telling you is because you will not be here by tomorrow”. Supposed the brethren pray for me and I don’t get healed. Then the next Sunday they see me coming they will say “The Leper is coming”. She said, but you won’t be here next Sunday. And in any case, My FAITH has risen.
I prayed for her (I didn’t touch her). The following year I was visiting the Church; as I was coming out of the car I saw a very beautiful Lady smiling brightly; coming towards me. She said “You don’t remember me?” I said No Ma. She said “I was the Leper”; But your GOD healed me.
I want you to stand on your feet and lift your voice to the Almighty God and say Father; Visit me tonight and every sickness in my system; Wipe it away. Open your mouth and talk to the Almighty God.
Thank you Father, Blessed be your Holy Name. In Jesus Mighty Name we have prayed – Amen. So shall it be in Jesus Mighty Name. Please be seated.
Incidentally, any time we have a Program like this, occasionally God will ask me: How many people do you want me to heal here tonight?
He asked me the same question and I have told Him “Not less than one thousand (1,000). So don’t wait till I finish. Get ready to collect your own healing. Even as the Program goes on; very soon you will discover the sickness is gone, in Jesus Mighty Name.
What Happened God Remembers an Individual?
2. He Opens their wombs: In Genesis 30:22, the Bible says God remembered Rachael and opened her womb.
Also, if you consider the story of Abraham in Genesis 12:1-4; the Almighty God told Abraham am going to bless you. You will be a blessing; through your seed the whole Nations of the world shall be blessed. But nothing happened!
In Genesis 15:1-5, God called Abraham out at night. Abraham! Yes, Lord. Come out. He came out. Can you look up? I want to see if you can count the Stars. He said, Lord I can’t. God said; Well, So shall your seed be.
Ok, by the time we got to Genesis 17:9-19; because Abraham kept on waiting; twenty five (25) years had passed. And God still said “Abraham, you are going to be the Father of many Nations”. He laughed!
He said: God, let us forget this joke. When you told me that; twenty five (25) years ago, I believed you. Now that am a hundred (100) years old and my wife is ninety (90) years old; What kind of joke is that?
But then, one day; God remembered Abraham. In Genesis 18:1-14, He remembered Abraham and paid him a visit.
I believe God had remembered a Woman here tonight (or reading); And He is about to pay you a visit.
It wasn’t long after that visit, that Isaac was born; and there was Laughter where there used to be sorrow.
Now, just at the beginning of this month. The first Friday of this Month, we had a Holy Ghost Service in Lagos (Nigeria). And there was a Testimony that brought tears to my eye; It was the Testimony of a woman, she got married as a young Lady and then like every married woman, she was expecting that very soon babies will come.
First year nothing, then she was twenty nine (29) years into the marriage. And she was now over fifty (50) years old. And then God remembered her and gave her a set of Triplets at a go!
Now, that God is here tonight; I want you to stand on your feet and cry unto Him and say Father; Remember all the barrens in our Churches, in our Families, in Our Cities, Towns and Villages: And Open their wombs tonight. Please pray for them.
Thank Father, thank you Almighty God. In Jesus Mighty Name we have prayed – Amen. So shall it be in Jesus Mighty Name. Please be seated.
3. When God remembers an Individual; He puts an End to ALL their sufferings. He sees to that – that individual will never fail again.
PROPHECY: Thank you Father. The Lord asked me to tell someone here today (or reading) ; He said Very soon, you will be able to Walk with your head Lifted High.
For example in Luke 5:2-5; the Bible tells us the story of Peter. Peter was a hard working fisherman. He fished all night, but caught nothing. The following morning, he couldn’t even go home.
Why? Because the Mother-in-Law was at home and he has nothing to take home. Because they will ask: What have you brought? And he will say NOTHING!
Now, there are many of us here (or reading) who has been labouring very hard. We are not lazy, we are hardworking; but there is nothing to show for it. We have seen people who don’t work as hard as we do, who have built houses; yet some of us are still struggling to pay our house rents.
… But God will remember you tonight!
God remembered Peter and in a very single moment; the man who was a total failure became an Instant Success. That is going to be your Testimony!
In 2 Kings 4:1-7, we find the case of another woman; A widow. Her husband was dead, and left her with a heavy load of debts and two (2) sons to look after. She was completely bankrupt! When the Creditors came and said “If you don’t pay us by tomorrow, we will sell off your children”. When she came to Elisha, you can see from her speech “Man of God, you know my husband is dead; you know my husband feared the Lord”.
In other words, she was saying: My Family served God and yet am dying under a burden of debts – “When will God remember me?”
… That day God remembered her and the Tides turned!
There is someone here who has been serving God diligently and yet you are suffering in serious poverty. In a way nobody can explain; your poverty will come to an end very soon.
I can tell you several stories; because each time we talk about the Almighty God: something is about turning failure to success. There are very important people who begin to think “How can that be?”.
Some of you here (or reading); Some people will look at you and say; You? You cannot amount to anything. They are leaving God out of the Equation.
When we are talking about God, the ways God works; He works in MYSTERIOUS WAYS.
I will give you just one example. Some of you have probably heard the Testimony before. It was 31st December of a particular year. We were having the Cross Over Service. And then all of a sudden the Lord spoke to me and said: Someone in the crowd was having problem paying his house rent. And the Lord said: By New Year you will be a Land Lord.
Only one fellow had enough Faith to say Amen because ordinarily speaking he had a problem paying his house rent in Lagos (Nigeria). How can you become a Landlord in the New Year?
Humanly speaking, it was impossible. But with God “All things are POSSIBLE”..
I prophesy to someone here tonight (or reading); You will not die a Tenant. Oh, let me go a step further and say to somebody here today (or reading); All your Problems will end with this Year!
… If you believe that, shout Hallelujah – Hallelujah!
So only one fellow had enough Faith to say Amen when the Prophesy came. And he was a Messenger having difficulty paying his house rent.
New Year came, he went to greet his Chairman. And he greeted the way we do in my tribe – he prostrated. And the Chairman looked at him and said: Have I given you a Christmas present? He said No Sir. Have I given you New Year Present? No Sir. The Chairman said, the Lagos State Government were selling houses. I bid for it but I don’t need it. Here are the keys!
The Messenger got to the address, expecting to see a small flat but met a big house. He opened the doors, went round the House. The following day at work, he went to greet the Chairman. Only this time he did not prostrate; he rolled to the left, he rolled to the right.
And the Chairman said, Messenger: Are there furniture in the House? No Sir. The Chairman said I change my furniture every Christmas. The ones of last year, I don’t have where to keep the. He called one of his drivers to help send the furniture to the Messenger’s apartment.
By December 31st he was having problem paying his house rent. By the first week of the New Year; he was living in his own house, sitting on the Chairman’s Furniture.
Stand on your feet. Cry to the Almighty God and say Father; Remember me tonight: Put an end to all my Sufferings. Come on, talk to the Almighty God.
Thank you Father, Glory be to your Holy Name. In Jesus Mighty Name we have prayed – Amen. So shall it be in Jesus Mighty Name. Please be seated.
And now, Finally;
4. When God remembers an Individual, He RESTORES HIS DESTINY.
PROPHECY: Oh thank you Father. The Lord asked me to tell someone here tonight (or reading); I will Soften the Ground for you.
From the Text that we read at the beginning; Moses knew he was a child of Destiny. He knew it! That’s why when he saw an Egyptian ill-treating an Israelite: he fought. He knew it! Something inside of him told him “You are born to be a Deliverer of your people”.
There are some of you here; you know it. You can’t express it, but there is something inside of you that says ” You are born to be Great!”
In the Name that is above every names; You will be Great!
But then, Moses killed this fellow, and as a result he fled. And for forty (40) years he was st the backside of the desert; COMPLETELY FORGOTTEN. It looked as if his destiny was already truncated.
But then, the Fire burned and all of a sudden; his Destiny was restored. He woke up one morning, thinking that he is already forgotten: he has been forty (40) years in the desert. As a matter of fact, when he heard Him calling him; he was wondering “Who remembered my Name”? But before the day was over, he was on his way back to Egypt to fulfill his Destiny.
There are several other Examples I can give you.
The day that He visited Peter and he caught those mighty fishes, Jesus told him: From now on, you won’t be catching fishes; You will be catching Men. But then something happened, Peter denied Jesus. And he thought that; “Catching Men?”
So one day in John 21; he woke up and said to the others “am going back to my Fishing”. I had thought that I would be a great Fisher of Men. But things have changed! Again he went, fished all night and caught nothing.
Jesus came again and said Peter, do you still Love Me? I love you; but you know what I have done. And then the Day of Pentecost came; and Fire Fell! And Peter preached just one Sermon and won three thousand (3,000) Souls. “Ah! My Destiny has been Restored.”
… I tell just one (1) more story and then I will round up my Preaching.
I was a very young boy in 1951. My village is very small. Until only recent; it was not even in the Map of Nigeria – That will tell you how small it was. And am talking of 1951. That’s a long time ago! In those days, only two (2) Lorries came to our Town everyday. I had never seen a car then.
There was a small Anglican Church in my Village – very tiny one! And then one day, the Anglican Bishop decided to visit my Village. And so those of us who were in Primary School Pupils lined the routes to welcome him. The Native Hunters did not go to Farm – They were firing gun salutes to welcome the Bishop. He came to Town in a Brand New Car.
I have never seen a Car before. That was the first day I saw something moving; not making the kind of noise the Lorries were making. And it was BEAUTIFUL! And the Bishop was dressed in the garment of an Anglican Bishop. Oh, very glorious!
At that time only Five (5) people in my Village had shoes: the Traditional Ruler, the Headmaster and three (3) others. And when I say shoes, it is not what you will call a shoes.
When the Bishop was about to come out of his car, I looked at his feet and I saw shoes; Black and Shinny. My mouth was opened wide. I have never seen anything so glorious. When he was about to leave; they loaded his boot with all manners of GIFTS – from the Village.
When I got home that day, I told my mother: “I said Mummy, when I grow up, I want to be a Bishop”. But years past, I grew up, I left the Church. I became a very, very radically boy. I don’t want to tell you my Testimony tonight. Next time I will tell you.
I forgot everything about the Church. Along the line, I met the Lord Jesus Christ. Somewhere along the line; The Fire fell for me! And then came 1981, and I became the General Overseer of The Redeemed Christian Church of God. And I decided to visit. At that time, we already had a small RCCG Parish in my Village. So I was doing familiarization tour and I decided to visit my Village. And my people wanted to welcome me in a Special Way. So the Primary School Pupils there lined the routes. The hunters were firing their guns. I drove in a New Car. And as I was about coming down from the car; I looked at my feet and the shoes – they were Black and Shinny.
… And I remembered Thirty (30) years before.
… When the Fire burns for you; God Restores your Destiny.
Stand up on your feet and cry to the Almighty God and say Father; Let the Fire fall for me tonight, and Restore my Destiny. Oh, Cry unto the Almighty God.
Thank you Father, Glory be to your Holy Name. In Jesus Mighty Name we have prayed – Amen. So shall it be in Jesus Mighty Name. Please be seated!
Now, my Destiny was restored because something happened in my life. Somewhere along the line; like I said, somebody preached to me about surrendering my life to Jesus. I listened to him. Somehow, God touched my heart and I gave my life to Jesus. That was when the Tides turned. That was when everything changed.
You see, the Bible says that if any man be in Christ, he is a New Creature; Old things are passed away and behold all things have become new.
The Fire can fall for you tonight, but first and foremost you must surrender your life to Jesus Christ. When the Fire fell on the Day of Pentecost and the people asked Peter; what shall we do? He said to them, repent and be baptized, everyone of you and you will receive the Gifts of the Holy Spirit.
The Fire of God is not going to fall on someone who still living in sin. You know why? Because the same Fire that can be of benefits to a child of God, is the same Fire that can destroy a sinner. Because one of the Names of our God is that He is a Consuming Fire.
So if you have not given your life to Jesus Christ; before we begin to pray our Closing Prayer, I want you to surrender your life to Him. Because whether you believe it or not, Fire is already falling tonight. And I want the Fire to be beneficial to you.
So if you have not surrendered your life to Jesus Christ; We are not talking about going to Church now, we are talking about TOTAL SURRENDER to Jesus Christ. We are talking about saying bye bye to a life of sin. If you say you are a Christian and you are still living in sin; somebody is deceiving somebody. Because the Word of God is clear: He that committed sin is of the devil. But he that is born of God does not sin because the seeds of God is Him.
So am begging you tonight, if you know that up to this moment you are still living in sin; come and surrender your life to Jesus Christ. The Lord is ready to wash away all your sins. And He will give you the Power to live a life of holiness.
So, am going to count from one to Twelve (12), because of this, if you who are high up in the gallery. Before I say Twelve (12), if you want to give your life to Jesus Christ, please come and stand before me: Let me pray for your Salvation so that God can give you a brand New Beginning.
So am going to begin to count now; the choice is yours. You can say No, I don’t want to come, nobody will force you – It is between you and your God. But if you really want to give your life to Jesus; you want Him to wash away your sins, so that His Fire can fall for you and be beneficial to you: then begin to come now as I begin to count.
… Let the Counsellors move a little closer to the Altar.
I thank God for those of you who are clapping; and your hands will never be empty. God bless you!
Now those of you already in front, cry to Jesus. And those of you who are on the way pray as you come and ask Him to have mercy on you. Tell Him you will serve Him from now on. Ask Him to be your Lord. Ask Him to be your Saviour. Promise Him you won’t live for the devil anymore; that you will do His Will. That He should just save your soul.
And the rest of us, please let us stretch our hands towards these our brothers and sisters and pray for them. Let us intercede for them. That the One who saved our souls will save their own souls also.
Those of you who at still coming, keep coming, don’t wait. I can see you. Just come and cry to the Almighty God.
Oh brethren pray for them for one more minute. Let us intercede to them. Stretch your hands toward them and pray that the One who saved our souls will save their souls also. That God will give them Genuine Salvation. Pray for them, Brethren.
…And if there is anyone who still wants to come; Come quickly!
Thank you Father; in Jesus Mighty Name we have prayed – Amen!
GO PRAYS: Saviour I just want to say thank you. Thank you for your Words. Thank you for these people that have come up to surrender their lives to you. Please receive them, in Jesus’ Name.
Forgive all their sins. Let your Blood wash them clean. Save their souls; write their names in the Book of Life. Receive them into the Family of God. And from now on, anytime they call on you, please answer them by Fire. And I pray that they will never backslide. I pray that in your Kingdom; they will never be missing.
… In Jesus Mighty Name we have prayed – Amen!
And now, those of you infront let me hear you shout hallelujah – Hallelujah!
Am rejoicing with you because from now on, by the Grace of God; I will be praying for you. And very soon, you will be receiving Miracles; including Miracles you do not even ask for. Then you will know that there must be somebody somewhere praying for you. And that somebody is me – I promise you. And so am going to need your Names, addresses and prayer requests. You are the VIPs of tonight, so we will wait for you. Glory be to God!
… If we don’t have enough Counsellors, can the choir join them in distributing the Cards?
And as soon as they give you the cards, fill them quickly and return to the Counsellors.
…Two (2) little things to do and then we will be on our way.
First of all let me asked, is there anyone here who had been blessed? Let me hear you short PRAISE THE LORD!
THANKSGIVING:
Jesus Christ healed ten (10) Lepers but only one came back to say Thank You; and it pained the Lord. So am going to ask you to say Thank you to Jesus tonight.
Go ahead, just talk to the Almighty God. You know what you want Him to do for you before Christmas. Please don’t ask for something small; He is the Almighty God. He is the All Sufficient God. He is More than Sufficient.
…Thank you Father, Glory be to your Holy Name. In Jesus Mighty Name we have prayed – Amen.
Please lift up your hands to God. I’m going to ask Him to anoint your hands. And anoint everything you are wearing.
CLOSING PRAYER:
King of kings I want to thank you for this Wonderful Night. I want to thank you for the Salvation of souls. Thank you for the Testimonies we heard. I want to thank you for the Prophecies concerning our future. I want to thank you because I know our future will be Glorious. Father please accept our thanks in Jesus Name.
Daddy, you promised me that tonight you are going to heal more than a thousand souls. I believe it is already done. Please accept our thanks in Jesus Name.
Now am committing these your children into your Hands; even as they are lifting their hands up to you today, Anoint their hands; anything they touch from now on, let it prosper. In your own Miraculous way, everything they have asked for today, even before the end of this Month; turn to Testimonies. Please Lord, even as the sun is rising tomorrow; let these your children already begin to sing a New Song.
Father, bless them. Anoint them. Pour fresh oil on them. And even as they are saying Thank You, give them something forever to thank you for in all areas of their lives Father, let it be well with them.
And I hereby decree that; My God will bless you. He will defend you. He will protect you. He will fight your battles for you. Wherever you go, His Presence will go with you. You will find favour with God; you will find favour with men. Anywhere you turn there will be Open Doors. You will never know sorrow again. In your family there will be no premature deaths. It shall be well with you, and you will serve the Lord forever.
And in the Mighty Name of Jesus Sierra Leone shall be saved. So shall it be. And in the Kingdom of God, you will not be missing. And very, very soon, poverty will soon become a stranger to you. In Jesus Mighty Name we have prayed – Amen!
… And let me hear you shout a Big hallelujah.
Thank you so much for reading. May the Fire of God that has fallen on you continue to refine you and bring the best out of you.
… See you next in Togo!
