ANNOUNCEMENT:

By the Special Grace of God, another Congress is around the corner. From December the 3rd to the 8th 2018.

By the Grace of God, we will have our Holy Ghost Congress.

*The Theme is: GLORY AHEAD!*

We will start off in the Old Auditorium; the first three (3) days will be at the Old Auditorium. And then the last three days will be here (3 by 3 Kilometers, New Arena in Shimawa).

There will be no Divine Encounter or Shiloh Hour in December. Because that is the week of the Congress – the Congress will take care of everything.

This year’s Congress, by the Special Grace of the Most High God shall be the best you have ever seen, thus far.

And so I will encourage you; Set that week aside. It is going to be very Glorious.

Invite your friends, your relatives, your Partners, your co-workers and invite your enemies too. So that they can get born again and cease to trouble you.

Tonight we want to talk on: *MY SUN WILL RISE AGAIN.*

… I think you should say it with your own month: *MY SUN WILL RISE AGAIN!*

That is under the broad heading of: *Stronger Than Your Enemies – Part 10.*

But before we proceed to the real Topic for today; as usual, we will like to spend the first few minutes speaking to those who are yet to give their lives to Jesus Christ.

PART ONE:

And so, for the first part of tonight’s Message, we will want to go to Genesis 49:1-7.

1 And Jacob called unto his sons, and said, Gather yourselves together, that I may tell you that which shall befall you in the last days.

2 Gather yourselves together, and hear, ye sons of Jacob; and hearken unto Israel your father.

3 Reuben, thou art my firstborn, my might, and the beginning of my strength, the excellency of dignity, and the excellency of power:

4 Unstable as water, thou shalt not excel; because thou wentest up to thy father’s bed; then defiledst thou it: he went up to my couch.

5 Simeon and Levi are brethren; instruments of cruelty are in their habitations.

6 O my soul, come not thou into their secret; unto their assembly, mine honour, be not thou united: for in their anger they slew a man, and in their selfwill they digged down a wall.

7 Cursed be their anger, for it was fierce; and their wrath, for it was cruel: I will divide them in Jacob, and scatter them in Israel.

It is a dangerous thing to think, that when you do something evil; that because judgement didn’t come immediately, that it is forgotten.

Sin is a killer – it kills.

It doesn’t matter how big you are into it. It doesn’t matter how important you are; pay attention to my words: You do evil in secrets, nothing that will not come to the open and go unpunished. That is the Word of God.

Jacob was about to die. He was on his death bed. And he gathered together all his children. He said: am going now, but before I go, let me tell you what will happen to you in the future.

And he started with his eldest son, Reuben; he described him in glowing terms: How he is strong, handsome, et cetera.

Then he turned to him and said, you may be the first born, you may have the attributes of a great man. He said: But you will become nothing.

Why? Because in Genesis 35:22, because Reuben went in to have sex with His father’s other wife. And they reported the matter to his father, he heard about it and said nothing.

He just kept quiet, and so Reuben thought: I have gotten away with this one. But the father waited until when he was about to die; when there will be no room for maneuvering.

He said ok, you thought I didn’t know what you did? I knew. I was waiting. And now the time for judgement has come.

And then he turned to Simeon and Levi. He remembered what these two (2) boys also did in Genesis 34:1-30.

What happened was, Israel was in the land of some strangers, and one of the sons of the land saw one of the daughters of Israel, and enticed her and raped her.

That girl happened to be the sister of Simeon and Levi.

They were furious, you raped our sister? And then the boy who did this one told his own father.

He said: father, I love this girl, I know I made a mistake; I shouldn’t have forced myself on her. But am ready to marry her.

So the father came with the boy who committed the offence. And said to Jacob: Please, anything you want, just tell me, we will pay any dowry. My son wants to marry your daughter; we have come to restitute.

Jacob said: well, it is not in our custom to marry strangers. But if you are willing to be circumcised like us, then we can begin to talk. After all, we are strangers in your land.

And the other people said; we will do anything you say. And they were circumcised, every one of them.

And all the men got circumcised. And on the third day, when the circumcision had taken a hold on the men , and they were in great pain: Simeon and Levi took to their swords and invaded the home of these people and killed them all. Everyone of them, and then took their sister away.

When Jacob heard, he said: I gave my words to these people, now everybody in the surrounding will hear.

He said: This boys, you have troubled me today. But he kept quiet, until he was about to die.

He now turned to them and said: Levi, Simeon; wicked you boys. He said: You will be scattered in Israel.

If your father curses you on his dead bed, it means that: The Sun has set on you; because as soon as Jacob finished cursing these boys, he died.

… So there was no room for them to maneuver.

However, something happened, something very, very STRANGE. In Numbers 3:5-13; God spoke to Moses years later, and said to him;

“Bring Levi near me” – the boy that the father said will be scattered, God said: Bring Levi near. He said they are going to be my Priests. I have chosen them to be my First Born.

But How? The father cursed him and died.

The Almighty God said: I cancel the curse, and He said instead of the curse, I replace it with a blessing; the greatest blessings of all.

In fact, God went further to say, the only thing that Levi will be doing; will be WORSHIPPING ME. They won’t do any manual labour and He will supply all their needs.

If there is anyone here tonight (or reading); under any form of curse: in the Name that is above every other names, before the Sun rises tomorrow the curse(s) will be gone.

You say: but what happened? What led to this dramatic change? Because it is the same God who said; if your father curses you, you are cursed. So how come, what happened? Well, something happened in Exodus 33, before we got to Numbers.

Moses went to collect the Ten (10) Commandments and as he was late in coming – he was away for forty (40) days and forty (40) nights. And the children of Israel said to Aaron: Moses has been gone these time, he hasn’t come back, by now he is dead.

“Make us a god that we will be worshipping”. In any case, “Who is this God that we cannot see?” We want a god that we can see.

So Aaron made them a Calf of Gold, and then got them to begin to dance to it. They danced before this idol; and then Moses returned and saw what was going on.

What is this? And Moses was aware that these people, they can be very tough; particularly now that many of them were drunk. And he wanted to punish them for what they have done against God. So the Bible says in Exodus 32:25-26, Moses stood at the gate and announced: “WHO IS ON THE LORD’S SIDE?”

And all the sons of Levi, like one man; CROSSED OVER to the side of Moses. They said: WE ARE ON THE LORD’S SIDE.

God looked down from heaven; these people who were supposed to be wanderers. These people who were supposed to be scattered. These people that their father had cursed? They say they are on my side?

God said: ok, if you are on my side, then am on your side too. You will be my First Born. The curse of your father, I cancel. You will be the one who will be serving me.

… I am sure you all know the conclusion of the story.

The Lord is asking tonight (while reading); this extraordinary night: when destinies are going to be changed. When the Sun will rise again.

God is calling: WHO IS ON THE LORD’S SIDE?

If you are here (or reading now), and you have not yet surrendered to Jesus Christ. Answer that question.

If you are on the Lord’s side, run over to Him to save your soul. Let His Blood wipe away your sins. Let every curse upon you be destroyed tonight.

So, if you are here, or you are watching (or reading) in the overflow in the Old Arena or at all the various Viewing Centres across the Globe. And you have not yet surrendered your life to Jesus and want to do so.

Hear what God is saying: WHO IS ON THE LORD’S SIDE?

Come and surrender your life to Him. Am going to count from one (1) to ten (10). If by the time i count ten (10); and you are not already standing before the Altar, I know you don’t want to come.

We will continue with the rest of the Service. But if you want to come the Lord is calling now:

WHO IS ON THE LORD’S SIDE?

If your answer is yes, Lord, I am on your side. I want to say bye bye to a life of sin. I want to say bye bye to forces of darkness. I want to say bye bye to everything that is contrary to your Will. Then come and surrender your life to Jesus now.

…I am counting…

ALTAR CALL

The choice is a simple one; Jesus Christ said: those who are not for me are against me.

It is either you are on the Lord’s side or against the Lord. The choice is yours.

There is no middle ground. It is either you are for Him or against Him. He says: Who is on my side? He is calling: who wants to surrender his or her life to me? Who wants to be saved? Who wants his or her sins forgiven? Who wants to say bye bye to the devil and welcome to Jesus?

COME NOW!

… I can see some of you who are coming from afar. I will wait a little, but you have to hurry up.

It is your day of decision; you want to be saved, you want your sins to be forgiven, you want the Blood of Jesus to wipe your sins?

COME! There is nothing hidden that will not cone to open.

When Simeon and Levi killed those people, they shed innocent blood and blood has a voice; blood always cries out.

If you shed innocent blood, that blood will cry out, sooner or later.

Come, let the Blood of Jesus wash away your sins and give you a brand New Beginning.

Those of you who have already come; Cry out to Him now. Let the Lord save your soul, let His Blood wash away your sins. Cry out to Him. Promise Him that from now on you will serve Him in Spirit and in Truth. Ask Him to have Mercy on you. Promise Him that from today onward, He will be your Lord.

Those of us who are already saved, pray that the One who saved our own souls will save their souls also. Pray for them Brethren, intercede for them; that the Lord Almighty who can cancel curses, who can redeem from the curses of the Law; will save the souls of these people, wipe away their sins and give them a brand New Beginning.

And those of you who are still on the way, make sure you keep coming before I start praying. Because I will be praying for the Salvation of your soul in a moment.

Even as you are coming; cry unto the Lord, ask Him to be Merciful unto you. Ask Him to please forgive your sins and give you a brand New Beginning.

Promise Him that by the grace of God you will not go back into the world of sin. That you will serve Him, in Spirit and in Truth, from now henceforth.

… Hurry up, I can see you. Come, the Lord is calling you. He wants to save your soul.

Thank you Father. In Jesus Mighty Name we have prayed.

GO PRAYS: Saviour, I want to bless your Name for your Words. I want to thank you very, very much for these people who have come to surrender their lives to you.

Please remember your Promise; that whosoever will come unto you, you will in no wise cast out.

They have come to you now by faith. Please receive them in Jesus Name.

Forgive their sins, let your Blood wash away their sins. Father, save their souls, write their names in the Book of Life.

And from now on Lord, anytime they call on you, please answer them by Fire and let them remain yours forever. In Jesus Mighty Name we have prayed. Amen!

Now, those of you who have come forward, let me hear you shout hallelujah.

I want to rejoice with you, because from now on, by the Grace of God I will be praying for you. And so, the Counsellors will give you some cards which you are going to fill quickly ( your name, your address and your prayer request). And I promise you; I will be praying for you.

PART TWO (2)

SONG:

Who is on the Lord side, I want to know
I am on the Lord’s side.
Who is on the Lord side, I want to know
I am on the Lord’s side.
I am on the Lord’s side
And the Lord is on my side.
As long as I live, as long as I live
I am on the Lord’s side.

The Lord will be on your side forever in Jesus Name. Amen

Now, Psalm 30:1-5

1 I will extol thee, O LORD; for thou hast lifted me up, and hast not made my foes to rejoice over me.

2 O LORD my God, I cried unto thee, and thou hast healed me.

3 O LORD, thou hast brought up my soul from the grave: thou hast kept me alive, that I should not go down to the pit.

4 Sing unto the LORD, O ye saints of his, and give thanks at the remembrance of his holiness.

5 For his anger endureth but a moment; in his favour is life: weeping may endure for a night, but joy cometh in the morning.

MY SUN SHALL RISE AGAIN

Say it loud and clear; My SUN SHALL RISE AGAIN.

God controls the Sunrise and He controls the Sun Set.

Every day begins with an evening. As far as God is concerned, every day begin with an evening.

Genesis 1:5, and the evening and the morning, were the first day.

Psalm 55:17; David said: in the evening, in the morning, in the noon, will I pray.

The day begin in the evening. In Genesis 1:1-3, after God made the Heavens and the Earth, everything became dark. Darkness covered the whole place. It was night time. And then God commanded the first sunrise: Let there be Light, and there was light!

According to Job 9:1-7, particularly verse 7, we discovered that if God commanded the Sun not to rise, it won’t. So the sun rises at His command.

In the Name that is above every other names, He will command the Sun to rise for someone here (reading) tonight – Amen.

And according to Joshua 10:12-14, if He commands the Sun not to set, it will not.

That is why I will like to decree tonight; for all of you who are genuine children of God; when your Sun rises this time, it will never set again – Amen!

God controls sunrise and sun set. As a matter of fact, in Isaiah 38:5-8; we find that when God commands the Sun to retrace its steps, it obeyed. The Sun had gone down a certain number of degrees. God said: ok, Sun go back, go back!

Several years ago, I think it was at the University of Ibadan. I was preaching; suddenly I heard God say: there is someone here, God has reduced you years by ten (10) years. And an elderly woman, a Professor, caught it and said: Amen.

It wasn’t long after that people began to say to her; Prof you are looking younger. She said: you were not there, you didn’t hear; God took ten (10) years away from my age.

May I prophesy to someone here (reading) tonight, in the Name that is above every other names; you will begin to grow younger – Amen

The Bible says in Psalm 113:3 : “From the rising of the sun unto the going down of the same the Lord’s Name is to be praised.”

He controls the rising and the setting of the Sun.

Psalm 74:16 : “The day is thine, the night also is thine: thou hast prepared the light and the sun.”

Now, the One who controls the day and the night automatically then controls the Season.

Because when we are talking about the rainy season, and we say: oh we are enjoying the rainy season. The day is passing. The Sun is setting, the Sun is rising. And before you know it, Dry season will come. And while you are in the dry season, the sun is rising and setting. Before you know it, rainy season is back.

Daniel 2:20-21; the Bible says He changes Times and Seasons.

Am believing God that the Season is about to change for the better for someone.

You remember the story about one man who was well over fifty (50) years and had never married because he just couldn’t talk to a woman and say: marry me. Highly educated and comfortable too; but he just couldn’t say to a woman: Will you marry me?

Then there was a Program like this; he gave his life to Jesus. Six (6) months later he got married. First time the wife got pregnant he got a set of twins. Two years later, another set of twins;

… Because his Season has CHANGED!

PRAYERS: Stand on your feet; lift up your voices to the Almighty God and say: Father, beginning from now, LET MY SEASON OF JOY BEGIN.

Open your mouth and cry to the Almighty God. He controls Times and Seasons.

Almighty God, beginning from now, let my Season of Joy starts; let my Season of Rejoicing; let it start. Let my Season of rejoicing start this very moment.

He changes times, He changes seasons. He controls Sunrise, He controls Sun Set.

Almighty God from this very moment let my Season of rejoicing begin.

Thank you Father. Let my own Season of rejoicing begin right now. You change times and Seasons, let my own Season of rejoicing begin right now.

Thank you Father. Amen; and so shall it be in Jesus Mighty Name.

… Please be seated.

No matter how long the night may be, it must end. Night must yield to day. It has been like that from the foundation of the world.

It must yield to day; the evening, the morning were the first day. Then it came again; the evening and the morning were the second day. The evening and the morning were the third day.

… So, the night must end.

And as the Lord lives, the One who controls Sunrise and Sun Set: for someone here (reading) today, YOUR NIGHT IS OVER – Amen.

In Mark 5:25-34; the Bible tells us about the woman with the issue of blood.

For twelve (12) years she was abiding in suffering; she kept the problem to her self. Everywhere she went, she was pitied – for Twelve (12) years!

But one (1) day, her night ended. She came in contact with the One who said I am the Light of the world; and her night changed to day.

In Luke 13:10-13; there was a woman who was bent double by sickness – spirit of infirmity. For eighteen (18) years. Eighteen (18) years she had to walk about bent double; no matter how she tried, she couldn’t lift herself. The devil bound her like that.

She was a spectacle of shame for eighteen (18) years. Then one day, she met the Lord Jesus Christ, and her night ended.

In John 5:2-14; the Bible tells us of another man by the Pool of Bethesda. (you know all these people). For thirty eight (38) years, he was sick. Thirty eight (38) long years of night. All the friends has forsaken him. By the time Jesus arrived on the scene, he said: I have no man.

If you are sick for thirty eight (38) years, your friends are likely to say: Forget that case.

But a day came, the night ended.

I wonder what they said when they suddenly saw him in Church singing, dancing, rejoicing;

… They have not seen him for thirty eight (38) years.

In Acts 3:1-11, there was that poor man born Lame; begging for forty (40) years at the Beautiful Gate of the Temple.

It was a long night; of watching other people dance, and he could not dance. Watching other people rejoicing and he couldn’t rejoice. But the night ended.

In Mark 10:46-52; Bartimeaus didn’t even know what is the difference between day and night. His own life has been one continuous night; from the day he was born.

And then he heard that Jesus was passing by; and all of a sudden, his long night gave way to Light.

It doesn’t matter how long your night has been, I come in the Name of the One who made the Heavens and the Earth: YOUR SUN will RISE Again.

How many stories can I choose from.

I remember when I was a Lecturer in Ilorin and there was this very young brilliant Lawyer. It started like fever, but very soon, he discovered he couldn’t move his hand properly. Then he couldn’t move his legs properly.

And before we knew what was happening, he was paralyzed neck down.

Cases were there; but he couldn’t sit down on his own. So how can you go to Court to handle a Case if you can’t get up?

It was a long night. But then one day, the Almighty God stepped in. Suddenly just as the Light came, the night disappeared.

PRAYERS: Stand on your feet. Lift up your voice to the Most High God and say: Father, my own night must end tonight.

Open your mouth and cry to the Almighty God.

In the Mighty Name of Jesus Christ; everything called night in my life; must end tonight. My night must end tonight in the Mighty Name of Jesus Christ.

My night of suffering must end tonight. My night of shame, must end tonight. My night of failures must end tonight. My night of sickness must end tonight. My night of loneliness must end tonight. My night of barrenness must end tonight. My night of fruitless efforts must end tonight. My night of disgrace must end tonight.

My Sun must Rise again. Thank you Father. In Jesus Mighty Name we have prayed.

… Now, please be seated.

A night time experience is a terrible thing. As long as the Sun rises, it will end. It is the end that matters.

Ecclesiastics 7:8 says: “Better is the end of a thing than the beginning thereof: and the patient in spirit is better than the proud in spirit.”

I sat down there and I heard all manner of Testimonies tonight. And there was one particular Testimony that brought tears to my eyes; barrenness for twenty nine (29) years; Oh Lord have mercy!

Maybe because we have to hurry these people up; say your Testimony a five (5) minutes and let others give theirs.

Can you imagine how many months that woman had wept? They say: Happy New Year. Amen, this will be my year; and then the year gone, no pregnancy. First year, second year, third year, tenth year, twentieth year, twenty ninth year.

Then all of a sudden, THE NIGHT ENDED!

And in one goal, the Almighty God brought forth three (3) children.

Help me shout HALLELUJAH to my God. Hallelujah!

Mockers cannot mock her anymore. Those who have been saying: where is your God, cannot say so anymore. Those who thought she was going to die barren cannot say so anymore.

In the Name of the One who called me; YOUR MOCKERS SHALL BE PERMANENTLY SILENCED – Amen!

… It is the end that matters.

In Job 1:1-21, Job lost everything. His day became night; the richest man in the entire country was reduced to somebody who said: Naked I came; because the devil took everything away. He said: I came naked, and I know I would be going naked.

Night came! And by the time you get to Job 42:12-26; the Bible says: God blessed the latter end of Job more than the beginning.

In the Name of the One who controls Seasons; YOUR END SHALL BE MORE GLORIOUS THAN THE BEGINNING – Amen!

In Mark 3:1-5; the Bible tells us of a man whose hands had withered.

The hand used to be strong, but little by little, the hand became useless. It didn’t say the hand was paralyzed; that would have been something sudden; It withered; which means it got bad, and got worse, and got worse until it couldn’t get any worse.

And then God stepped in; the withered hand was restored as whole.

Every hand that has been withered by the enemy; in the Name that is above every other names, even before tomorrow morning your hands will be Restored – Amen!

I still remember on one occasion, there was a call made for an offering. There was a man who got up and started crying.

Why was he crying?

He said: once upon a time, if they made that kind of call, I will go to the Pastor and say; please don’t make any further announcement; this is the money you needed. He said: Now, I can’t even give anything.

… The hand had withered!

Every withered hand; in the Name of Jesus Christ, shall be restored fully – Amen!

When the Sun rises again, The story will change.

I have told you the story of my Uncle before. Very, very successful man; doing great.

Then suddenly, the tides turned; he lost everything. He became so poor that he had to be taking the wrapper of his wife to make Buba (top wear for men) and Trousers.

Things got that bad; then he made up his mind, he said: death is better than shame.

He said: I know what to do. I will go to Church, I will sing, I will dance and everybody will notice me. Then I will return home and die.

He said: I will attend my own funeral; that is what he said.

But he came to Church and the Preacher was preaching; he chose to talk about Shedrack, Meshach and Abednego. That when Shedrack, Meshach and Abednego said: the God whom we serve He will deliver us; they didn’t know how God will do it.

… But God did it.

So, he said: that is true oh. I don’t know how I can get out of my present situation; But I refuse to die.

The day he was telling the story, he had just bought fourteen (14) in a day for those who are working for him.

PRAYERS: Stand up on your feet, lift up your voice to the Almighty God and say: Father, Remember me tonight..
Please remember me tonight. Remember Lord, let me have an encounter with you. This very night Lord, send your Words to me. Lord God Almighty let my night turn to day. Let my Sun Rise.

Ancient of Days remember me tonight. Almighty God speak to me. Let me hear just a word that will change my night to day.

It is the end that matters; Lord, let my end be Glorious. Let my end be wonderful. Let my Sun Rise again. Please Daddy, remember me.

Thank you Father; in Jesus Mighty Name we have prayed.

So shall it be in Jesus Mighty Name.

Please be seated.

The One who is passing through night experience is like someone under a Siege; and when the Sun rises, it will be over.

In 2 Kings 7:1-21, the Bible tells us that it took less than one day for the siege over the City of Samaria to be lifted. Things had gone so bad. The whole City was going through a night experience. So bad that women began to eat their children.

… Night cannot be Darker than that.

Then the Man of God spoke. He said: in less than 24 hours, the Siege will be over – Amen

And I am standing on this exalted Altar of the Most High God; and I decree tonight; for someone who is under a Siege, by the time the Sun rises tomorrow the Siege will be over – Amen

They were under siege; physically, they were under siege. Enemies all round surrounding the City. You dare not come out.

Materially, they were under siege because they could not go out to work, so they had no money.

Spiritually, they were under siege. I mean, it is not natural for a woman to say: I will eat my child.

But then, God moved and in less than 24 hours everything changed.

In 1 Kings 17:8-16, the widow of Zarephath had been under a siege for a long time. She watched as day by day the food in the house became smaller and smaller until there was just one meal left. The Siege on her was so heavy; she decided that the best thing to do is to commit suicide: My son, let us have a farewell Party.

But then help was nearer than she thought.

As the Lord lives, the help you have been expecting will cone tonight – Amen!

Help came, at the darkest moment. She said to the Man of God: only one meal to prepare; how big is the meal? Two (2) tiny sticks are enough to prepare the meal.

But the tides turned, and God came and changed the Season for her – she never had to beg for food again afterwards.

PROPHESY: Oh, Thank you Father. The Lord asked me to tell someone that: There is no need for you to be depressed, because Victory is at hand – Amen

In 2 Kings 4:1-7, the enemy had almost concluded their plan; he said to that widow: if you don’t pay us by tomorrow, we will sell your two (2) sons to recover our money. That very day, the Ever Present Help in the Time of trouble stepped in and the plan of the enemies failed.

Before the enemy would close his trap on you, You will ESCAPE – Amen!

I have told you the story before, of a young man, he was a Medical Student at University of Ibadan. He was not there when the problem started.

His father fought another man in their village and the man said to his father: By the time I finished with you, nobody will even remember you ever came to the world.

And his father didn’t know the kind of person he was fighting. You have heard the story before – am only telling it for the sake of those who have not heard. If you want to know the details, ask those who have heard it before.

Within a week his father died. And the children went to bury their father. The first born had just returned from Germany with a new car. They buried their father, and on their way going back, the car had an accident. The boy who bought the new car died in the accident. They went home to tell their mother that her first born was dead; she collapsed and died. The children came to bury their mother. On their way going back another accident and the next child died.

And it went on until it remained just this boy.

Oh Lord, in the Name that is above every other name; every siege on your family shall end tonight. Amen

And the man who pronounced the curse on the family saw this boy; oh there is still one boy in the family, ok before I kill this one, I will torture him a little.

So the boy returned from home, got to campus and went mad. He took all his books and clothes and burnt them.

They took him to ARO (a Psychiatric Hospital in Nigeria), treated him with drugs; when he was a bit more stable, they discharged him.

But because he had burnt his books and clothes, he went home to get money from his father’s family so he came to the village.

The man saw him; they took him back to ARO again and back to school until somebody saw him and said: this is not a case for the hospital.

And they brought him to this camp. And he met the Lord Jesus Christ. Today he is a Medical Doctor and today he is an Evangelist for God.

PRAYERS: Stand on your feet, lift up your voice to the Most High God and say: Father, before the Sun rises tomorrow Lift the Siege over my family.

Open your mouth and pray, oh Lord let the Sun Rise so that the Siege can be over. Please Lord, let the Siege of my family be over. Let the Siege of my business be over. Let the Siege of my Ministry be over. Let the Siege over my Nation be over.

Lord help, please lift the siege over. Papa lift the siege over my children, lift the siege over your Church. Lift the Siege over my marriage. Lift the Siege over my health.

Send help to me Lord, urgently lift the siege over my finances. Thank you Father. In Jesus Mighty Name we have prayed.

And so it shall be in Jesus Mighty Name.

Please be seated.

A Night time experience can be as a result of Lost of Opportunities.

Many at times they will say: Opportunity once lost can never be regained.

PROPHESY: Oh Thank you Father:

1. The Lord said there is someone here; the Lord said I should tell you: Your night has been long and stormy. He said your Day shall be Longer and more Glorious.

2. I want to say Amen to this one first. Because the Lord says there is someone here today, you will not carry sorrow into the New Year – Amen.

In 2 Kings 6:1-7; the Bible tells us of the Sons of the Prophet who went to cut trees. The axe head fell into the river.

“And we don’t even know how to swim” they said.

But the Almighty God intervened. The Man of God cut down a piece of wood. Threw it into the river. The piece of wood carried the ANOINTING into the bottom of the river; located the Iron, transferred the Anointing there. And the Iron that was supposed to stay down jumped up and began to swim.

Don’t joke with the Anointing. It can reverse the irreversible.

Every Opportunity that you have lost; in the Name of the One who is above all, you will RECOVER them in Jesus Name.

In Ezekiel 37:1-10, the Bible said there was a valley full of dry bones.

Talk of lost opportunities; those dry bones as far as any human being is concerned, can never match again.

It was an Army that was slaughtered and they were left unburied. And they got rotten, became bones. And they were very dry. But the Lord spoke through His Servant; the bones came back to bone, flesh covered. As the wind blew, dry bones became an Army again.

In Romans 4:16-22; the Bible tells us that the womb of Sarah was already dead. She had not menstruated for more than forty (40) years. Opportunity of ever having a child was gone. But that was because we left God out of the equation.

The moment God moved in; the equation changed. The one they thought can never have a child became THE MOTHER OF ISAAC.

In 2 Kings 2:19-22; the Bible tells us of what happened when Elijah had just gone to Heaven and Elisha crossed over to Jericho.

Jericho had lost a great opportunity because Elijah passed through them. They could have called on him for help. They didn’t. They didn’t quite recognize the Anointing that was on Elijah. But when they saw him go to Heaven by a whirlwind, they said: the one who could have helped us has gone.

But they saw his Mantle falling on the ground.

I thank God for all the Testimonies; oh thank God for anointing. Whether the devil likes it or not, the Anointing that God has already deposited in you will not run dry – Amen!

So when they saw Elisha crossing over, they said: thank God for another opportunity.

By the end of this year, every opportunity you have lost, shall be REGAINED!

I have told you this story before. When I came to Lagos for a Commonwealth Scholarship because I wanted to go for further studies Abroad.

Those of you who know mathematics very; you know that when they ask you a question in Mathematics, it is either you know the answer or you don’t know. There is no guessing work in Mathematics. That is why some people fear it – you can’t maneuver.

And they asked me all the questions they wanted to ask. And I was wondering, Do they know that I have Honours Degree in Mathematics?

I mean the questions they were asking me were NCE questions. So I thought I have already won the scholarship.

But all the time they were asking questions, there was a man there who was dosing (I won’t tell you what part of the country he came from). And when the others had finished with me, they woke him up – Do you have any question for him? He said: oh yes. He said: Where is Etebe?

The question was so strange to me, I said: sorry sir, a’m not here for Geography. And everybody laughed.

He was the Chairman, so I didn’t know. So they laughed at the Chairman. Of course, I knew then that I have lost the Scholarship.

But as I was coming out of the place, I met my Professor who taught me when I was at University of Nigeria, Nsukka. He said; Enoch what are you here for? I said I am here for a scholarship, I need to travel Abroad for my Masters. He said; you don’t need to go anywhere. I am here at the University of Lagos in Lagos; come here and do your stuff.

I thought I lost an opportunity, I didn’t know I have gained one. Because if I had gone Abroad, I would not have been Born Again when I did. And I won’t be standing here before you preaching today.

PRAYERS: I want you to stand on your feet and lift up your voice to the Almighty God and say: Father, for every opportunity I have lost, give me a better one.

Come on open your mouth and cry to the Almighty God. For every opportunity I have lost, give me a better one. Give me a more valuable one. Give me a better one.

I might have lost some opportunities; give me far, far more Glorious ones. You are able to do it Lord as you control Times and Seasons.

Give me a better opportunity. More Glorious, more beautiful and more everlasting. Thank you Father. In Jesus Mighty Name we have prayed.

So shall it be in Jesus Mighty Name.

Please be seated.

So I want you with boldness to say to your enemies; Don’t Laugh too soon; because my Sun will RISE Again!

… Enemy, don’t laugh too soon.

In Genesis 16:1-5; the Bible says; when Sarah saw that she was barren, she said to her husband; take my maid, whatever she produce is mine. Go into her, let us have a child by her.

So her husband went into her. When she noticed that she was pregnant, she began to ridicule her Mistress: “Mama, you have been here all these years, just eating Papa’s food; nothing to show for it: Look at me, just one encounter”.

But then in Genesis 21:1-6, Sarah said; God has made me laugh.

I decree tonight, every one of you here (or reading); YOU WILL LAUGH LAST.

In Judges 15:14-15, when they brought Samson bind before the Philistines. The Philistines began to rejoice; we got him, he is finished.

But even when they were still laughing, thinking they have gotten him. God moved – the one they thought was going to die was the one who killed a thousand of them and the rest of them fled.

As long as Christ is in me, nobody can write me off. Colossians 1:27 says: “To whom God would make known what is the riches of the Glory of this mystery among the Gentiles; which is Christ in you, the Hope of Glory:”

There is a staying: Enemies don’t rejoice over me, if I fall, I will rise again.

Is that true of you? Yes.

Isaiah 3:10 says: “Say ye to the righteous, that it shall be well with him: for they shall eat the fruit of their doings.”

PROPHESY:

Thank you Father; Thank you Lord. Let me say Amen to this first. Because the Lord says that there is someone here, He says very soon; you will be hearing CONGRATULATIONS.

My tomorrow will be alright. What about your own? – My Tomorrow will be alright.

Psalm 25:2 says: “O my God, I trust in thee: let me not be ashamed, let not mine enemies triumph over me.”

How many of you trust the Lord? Wave your hands and shout hallelujah – Hallelujah!

Each time I consider the story of Joseph, my Faith is stronger. He dreamt he was going to be great. His brothers sold him because he was going to be great. They first of all threw him into a pit – let us kill him and see what will happen to his dream.

The pit was dry. They sold him to slavery; he got there and prospered. They threw him to prison, he got to the prison and prospered. He interpreted a dream for someone whom he told; when you get to the Palace remember me. The fellow got there and forgot him.

It was a long night for Joseph. But there is a particular section of the story that am not sure any of you paid attention to: the Wife of Portiphar: When she got Joseph thrown into the prison by lying against him. She thought: Stupid Boy, I told him to compromise his faith, he refused. Now he is going to pay for it.

Do you know that when Joseph got to the throne, they said: every knee must bow before him.

… I wasn’t there ooh; it is just my imagination.

But I think that the first place Joseph rode to in that chariot must have been Portiphar’s house.

I don’t know, I have a rough idea, he would probably have said; call out Portiphar’s wife let her come and see the Joseph she threw into prison. And she came, and she had to fall on her face because THE SUN HAD RISEN FOR JOSEPH.

In 1963, in Ondo; I was a Teacher at Ondo Boys High School and Dr. Nnamdi Azikiwe was the Governor General of Nigeria. And he was visiting. He was going as Governor General, so he came to Ondo. Of course, the whole City came out to meet him. And we, Teachers, Students, everybody; we lined on the road. And he was riding on a Sports car. And as he was riding on the car; as soon as he was driving past where we – those of us from Ondo Boys High School were lining up, suddenly he stopped. He asked them to stop the car.

Why? He came down from the car, he stood before a man; one of the Teachers of Ondo Boys High School.

You know what happened? That Teacher was responsible for the rustication of Nnamdi Azikiwe; when he was his pupil; before Azikiwe hid himself in a Ship that took him to America to go and study.

The boy that was rusticated is now the Governor General. He stood before his Teacher and said: Hello

PRAYERS: Stand on your feet, cry to the Almighty God and say: Father, let me Laugh Last. Almighty God, in your miraculous way, let me Laugh Last.

Thank you Father. In Jesus Mighty Name we have prayed.

And so it shall be in Jesus Mighty Name.

Please be seated.

Oh, that day I saw an old man weep. It is not a good thing to see an old man weep.

So when the Governor General came down and stood. I don’t know how he was able to locate him out of the crowd; but he did.

And all he said was: HELLO – “You thought you have destroyed my dream, but am here”.

Let me bring this to a conclusion, because we still have another Programme later.

All am trying to say to somebody here today is that: YOUR JOY IS AT HAND.

Why? Because in the Text I read to you, Psalm 30:5; it said, even His anger endureth but for a moment.

Even if it is God that is angry with me, He can forgive. His anger won’t last forever. He said His anger is for a moment.

And then He went on to say; weeping may endure for a moment.

WHAT IS COMING IN THE MORNING?

… JOY IS COMING IN THE MORNING!

PROPHESY: Thank You Father, the Lord asked me to tell Someone; He said: STOP BEING AFRAID OF THE LION; because I have already remove its teeth. Amen

According to Ecclesiastes 2:26: “For God giveth to a man that is good in his sight wisdom, and knowledge, and joy: but to the sinner he giveth travail, to gather and to heap up, that he may give to him that is good before God. This also is vanity and vexation of spirit.”

And then in John 16:24 Jesus Christ said: you want Joy? All you need to do is ask for it till YOUR JOY IS FULL.

So your last prayer tonight is going to be prayed at THE ALTAR.

PRAYERS: You will cry out and say: Lord, Let my Sun Rise; we are many here, Lord, let my Sun Rise Again.

I am tired of failure, I am tired if sorrow. Let my Sun Rise Again.

Go ahead and talk to the Almighty God. I am going to give you fifteen (15) minutes.

Talk to Him; Father, Let My Sun Rise Again.

GO PRAYS: In the Name that is above all names; the wonderful Name of Jesus Christ: Your Season of Rejoicing will begin now.

No matter how long your night has been, your night will end tonight. Your end will be far more Glorious than your beginning.

Every siege against you shall be lifted.

In the Name of the Almighty God, you will laugh last.

By the time the Sun is rising tomorrow, your own Sun will be risen and you will never forget tonight. It will be the beginning of your Joy, Success and Progress. You will laugh last.

For the rest of your life, you will serve God with Gladness.

So shall it be. In Jesus Mighty Name we have prayed – Amen!

… Let somebody shout Hallelujah – Hallelujah!
