Who is like unto Thee oh Lord, among the gods? The Bible says: You can wound, and You can heal. You can kill and you make alive.

Thank You for life (2ce), Thank You for answers to prayers. Thank You for the Special Holy Ghost Service. Thank You for what You did on Thursday. Thank You for what did on Friday. Father we thank You for what You did on Saturday. Please accept our Thanks in Jesus Name.

As usual my Father, I like to register my weakness before Your children; that there is nothing any Man of God can do without the God of man. You are the God of man. Father please use me this morning, and bless all your children, in the Name of Jesus.

At the end of this Ministration, take all the Glory my Father. For in Jesus Name we have prayed – Amen!

God bless you, please be seated.

Glory be to God Almighty!

I thank the Almighty.  Father, and also our father in the Lord, the General Overseer of the Redeemed Christian Church of God, for giving me the opportunity to stand before you people this morning.

All my fathers and mothers in the Lord; you are appreciated and you are celebrated, in Jesus Name – Amen!

Am led to speak on; “BYE BYE TO MARAH”.

We want to embark on a journey this morning and that journey will lead us to our Breakthrough, in the Name of Jesus – Amen.

BYE BYE or GOODBYE or FAREWELL is a conventional expression used at parting.

It gives me much pleasure to inform you that: “Your present or your current location is not going to be your final destination”. This March (2019); you will change Position in the Name of Jesus – Amen. You will March forward in the Name of Jesus – Amen.

Bye bye to Marah simply means “Bye bye to Bitterness. It also means bye bye to disappointments.

Bye bye to Marah also means bye bye to Grumbling, Complaining and Murmuring.

Brethren, God can take someone out of Marah (out of bitterness). He can also take bitterness out of someone.

Which one do you desire this morning? My Prayer is: that God will take you out of Marah – Amen!

Please let God hear your Amen. I say God will take you out of Marah – Amen!

And because you have said Amen, He will take Marah out of your life, in Jesus Name – Amen.

… I want to focus on;

BIBLE TEXT: EXODUS 15:22-27

22. So Moses brought Israel from the Red sea, and they went out into the wilderness of Shur; and they went three days in the wilderness, and found no water. 

23. And when they came to Marah, they could not drink of the waters of Marah, for they were bitter: therefore the name of it was called Marah. 

24. And the people murmured against Moses, saying, What shall we drink? 

25. And he cried unto the LORD; and the LORD shewed him a tree, which when he had cast into the waters, the waters were made sweet: there he made for them a statute and an ordinance, and there he proved them, 

26. And said, If thou wilt diligently hearken to the voice of the LORD thy God, and wilt do that which is right in his sight, and wilt give ear to his commandments, and keep all his statutes, I will put none of these diseases upon thee, which I have brought upon the Egyptians: for I am the LORD that healeth thee. 

27. And they came to Elim, where were twelve wells of water, and threescore and ten palm trees: and they encamped there by the waters.

Brethren, “you cannot enjoy the future without disturbing the present.”

According to the Passage; the children of Israel, they  had the Red Sea experienced. In other words, they passed through the Red Sea. They had the Wilderness experience. The Bible says they went three (3) days in the wilderness, but they couldn’t find water to drink – what a pity! It was a Wilderness of dryness, a wilderness of lack.

They had Marah experience: In other words, they passed through Marah: they found water in Marah but they couldn’t drink the water, because it was bitter.

What they expected wasn’t what they saw. They needed drinkable water, but they saw bitter water.

What a disappointment!

That was the reason I said; “Marah is a place of bitterness”. Marah was a place of of disappointment. But the People of God CRIED OUT.

“… You must take action, before you can see God in action”.

They cried out, they cried out, because “A closed mouth is a closed Destiny”. They cried to Moses their Leader. That is why you need “A Leader as a Ladder; you need a Mentor and not a Menthelatum .

… Moses in turn cried to God for help. I notice that those who cry out to God will never cry unto man!

He cried unto God and God intervened; and the waters were made sweet.

The Good News is, people of God: they saw bitter water, but they didn’t drink bitter water – they drank SWEET water. This year, you will drink sweet water, in the Name of Jesus – Amen.

God took them out of Marah. They marched forward to a place called “ELIM”. When they got to Elim, God provided twelve (12) Wells of Water and seventy (70) Palm trees. So the people of God had MORE THAN ENOUGH to eat and to drink.

What the children of Israel couldn’t get in the Red Sea; what they couldn’t acquire in the Wilderness; what they couldn’t obtain in Marah: God PROVIDED for them when they got to Elim.

So to the children of Israel, Elim was a place of BREAKTHROUGH.

… You will get there!

Elim was a place of More than Enough – You will reach there!

Elim was a place of God’s Provision.

Elim was a place of Joy.

This month; this month of March (2019), you will March to your Breakthrough in the Name of Jesus – Amen!

… Brethren, “difficult roads often lead to beautiful Destinations”.

I made about SIX (6) MAJOR DISCOVERIES from Exodus 15:22-27 (our Bible Text);

1. Discovery No. 1: “There must be a PASSING THROUGH before a Breakthrough”.

I use to tell people; “I had a background, but God did not allow my background to put my back on the ground” –

You must pass through before you experience a breakthrough!

The children of Israel passed through the Red Sea; I don’t know whether you are in the Red Sea.

They passed through the Wilderness of Lack, the wilderness of dryness – some people are there already! They passed through Marah – Marah of bitterness: Marah of disappointment, before they experienced a breakthrough in Elim.

Are you passing through any hardship? Are you in the Red Sea of Life – A Place of obstacle? Are you in the Wilderness – A Place of lack and dryness? Are you in Marah – A place of bitterness?

Brethren Relax! Don’t give up, keep Marching forward. You will soon reach your destination. A major breakthrough awaits you. And very soon, we shall celebrate with you in Jesus’ Name – Amen.

Am sure you have read Psalms 66:12, it says: “Thou hast caused men to ride over our heads; we went through fire and through water: but thou broughtest us out into a wealthy place.”

Another Translation says; “… You have brought us out to a place of Abundance”.

Another Translation says; “… You have brought us out into a Broad or moist place of Abundance and Enlargement”.

So there must be a passing through before a breakthrough!

If you are ‘Passing Through’ now; I rejoice with you. Because very soon you will celebrate a Major Breakthrough in the Name of Jesus – Amen.

2. Discovery No. 2: It says: “It is possible to DEPART from Marah; and its equally possible for MARAH to depart from one’s life or home”.

God took bitterness out of Marah because He wanted His people to drink sweet water. He also took His children out of Marah.

Which one do you want? For God to take bitterness out of your life or to take you out of bitterness?

Let me pray for you Brethren: “That God will take you out of Marah, which year? 2019! He will also take Marah out of your life, which month? MARCH! In the Name of Jesus Christ – Amen.

3. Discovery No. 3: It is that; “God can bring out SOMETHING out of NOTHING”.

… I mean something Good out of Nothing.

For instance, He brought out sweet water from the bitter water. And don’t forget sir/ma, His ways are not our ways. He brought out sweet water from bitter water.

I read John 2:1-10; Jesus brought out wine from ordinary water. He can bring out something Good out of Nothing! Just keep serving Him, keep doing His will, keep obeying Him: “One day (3ce), you will become an object of ENVY – Amen!”

… Let God hear that Amen – AMEN! Because it is better to be envied than to be pitied.

4. Discovery No. 4: “There must be a CASTING before a CATCHING”

God told Moses to CAST a tree into the bitter water. Moses did it, and the water became sweet – “Casting before catching!”

I always look forward to the Time of Offering, because that is my own way of Casting. And whenever you cast, you will surely catch. It is a principle, and it is a General Principle; whether you are Born Again or not: that Principle stands!

If as an idol worshipper, you know how to cast; you will catch. If you are a child of God and you don’t know how to cast, forget about catching.

… There must be a casting before a catching.

In 2 Kings 2:19-22; Elisha cast salt into Jericho water. My Bible tells me that the waters were healed UNTO THIS DAY. Casting before catching!

In John 21:6; Peter and his colleagues, they cast their nets on the right side of the ship, according to Divine Instructions. After they did that, they enclosed multitude of fishes – Casting before catching!

When Peter encountered the Tax Authority, Jesus (not a Magician, but a Miracle Worker) told him, “go to the river, cast your hook”. Peter cast his hook before he caught the First Fish – Casting before catching!

You will have the opportunity this morning, after the Sermon, to cast (your offering). And after the casting, expect God for a catching.

Now, please don’t forget that what you cast will determine what you will catch.

In other words, “It is your DEPOSIT that determines your Withdrawal”.

5. Discovery No. 5: “You need a Leader as a LADDER”.

If you are not reigning today, you are expected to be in ‘Training’.

You need a Leader as a Ladder – who can, Brethren; determine what you will get.

In other words, “Your Connection can determine your Collection (2ce)”.

The people of God cried to Moses, their Leader. That is why I want to congratulate those of you who have written letters to Daddy G.O for Prayers.

They cried to Moses their godfather. You may not have a godfather, but you have God the Father. And when you cry unto Him this morning, your prayers will not go into the ‘Voicemail’ – Amen.

They cried unto Moses, because Moses was a VOICE and not an Echo! You need a Leader as a Ladder; you need a Cover!

6. Final Discovery from that short Passage is that: “God can use the AVAILABLE to provoke the Desirable”: He can use what you have to produce what you want.

One would have expected God to provide an alternative water for His people to drink. NO! He never did that; it was the same bitter water (that was available) that He converted to sweet and drinkable water.

A woman went to a Man of God because she was owing, and the creditors threatened to take away her two (2) sons. And the Man of God asked her “what do you have?” She said she had nothing except a little oil.

“If you have a little oil, that’s enough!”

… That was the available; it was what she had that God used to give her what she needed.

I have Good News for somebody here today (or reading); “God can, and He will use your Present ugly situation to take you to your Breakthrough” in the Name of Jesus – Amen.

I like to conclude with this statement: “Everything you GO through, GROWS you (2ce)!”

What you are passing through today will soon become a story. (Oh, only the Brothers are saying Amen) – AMEN!

What you are passing through today will soon become a past tense – Amen!

Just like when you will be able to say; “once upon a time!” You won’t continue this way. Ah! The challenges are there I know that; but they are not meant to pull you down. NO! They are meant to take you to the Next Level.

… And you will get there in Jesus’ Name – Amen!

We are going to pray; I told God while preparing for this Programme that today: “Everybody’s Prayer must be answered”. That those who are laughing at you now, by the Grace of God; they will come and celebrate with you. It doesn’t matter your Present location, you with make it to a Place of Breakthrough in the Name of Jesus – Amen.

Are you ready to pray please? Shall we rise!

PRAYER POINTS:

1. We are going to start by Thanking God. I want you to Thank God for what He has done for you. I want you to Thank God for what He has done through you. And give Him the Glory.

SONG:

For all You have done for me (hallelujah)

I am grateful oh Lord. (I am grateful Lord)

I am grateful Oh Lord

am grateful Oh Lord

For all You have done for me (hallelujah)

I am grateful oh Lord.

2. Say Father; please take me out of bitterness and take bitterness out of my life and family in Jesus’ Name.

3. I want you to say Father; please I need help, I need a Major Breakthrough. Please command my Helpers wherever they are, command them to locate me in the Name of Jesus.

4. Stretch your hands to the Altar and say Father; Bless me and turn me to a blessing in the Name of Jesus Christ.

5. Now say Father; before this day expires, Lord let me jam favour, let favour jam me, let me collide with favour in the Name of Jesus.

Thank You Father Lord, in Jesus Mighty Name we have prayed – Amen.

My Bible tells me about a man who had an infirmity for thirty eight (38) years. He had many bitter stories to tell. Even the day he encountered Jesus and Jesus asked him a simple Objective WAEC Question: “Do you want to be made whole?”

Instead of saying ‘YES’; because he was used to stories, he began to tell stories. But before Jesus left that day, the man had a better story to tell.

… That is the Final Prayer Point;

6. Say Father; I am tired of Bitter stories, give me New Stories. Open a New Chapter of Healing, Success, Abundance for me. Let people see your Handwriting in every Department of my life, in Jesus Name.

Thank You Father Lord, in Jesus Mighty Name we have prayed – Amen.

Brethren, now I need your AMEN (if possible, you can take one step up front) – Amen!

DECREES:

I Prophesy; God will answer your prayers (2ce). God will open  New Chapters for you in the Name of Jesus Christ. God will solve your Problems. God will add Value to your life. God will Promote you. God will grant you Favour. God will enlarge your Coast, in the Name of Jesus Christ – Amen.

God will terminate suffering in your life. He will terminate sorrow in your life in the Name of Jesus. And throughout Two Thousand and NICE THINGS; Nobody will pay you condolence visit in the Name of Jesus Christ – Amen.

Any Arrow shot at you, it shall go back to sender seven (7) times, in the Name of Jesus. Your Businesses that are down, shall be lifted in the Name of Jesus. You shall be recommended to those that will Favour you. Your Helpers will locate you. The Lord will add Value to your life. He will work for you this Year. God will walk with you this Year. God will work in you this Year. God will work through you this Year. God will work against all your enemies this Year, in the Name of Jesus Christ – Amen.

Thank You Father Lord, in Jesus Mighty Name we have prayed – Amen.

Please be seated; the Lord bless you in the Name of Jesus – Amen.

Do you need Help, like me? Let me see your hands up if you need help? Ah, Everybody!

ALTAR CALL:

Jesus speaking in Matthew 11:28, He said: “Come unto me, all ye that labour and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest.”

He says COME! If you want God to help you, come and surrender your life to Him fast. And if you feel like rededicating your life, you are welcome. So wherever you are and you want God to help you, wave your hands again. You want Him to help you, surrender to Him. You surrender to Him, you are qualified. But if you don’t want to give your life to Him, it is a pity!

So if you want to  surrender your life to Him or you want to rededicate your life to Him; wave your hands to Him.

God bless you, I can see you. Just rise to your feet. Please carry your bags and Bibles and come to the Altar side here. We want to pray for you. God bless you!

Those of you that are clapping; I want you to know, you are not clapping for the Man of God, but you are clapping for the God of Man. And it is a way of casting. It will ‘Provoke a Catching’; in Jesus’ Name – Amen.

… Come quickly and surrender your life to Jesus.

SONG:

Tani nwo tun gbe ga ooh

Bi ko se Baba loke

Tani nwo tun fi gbogbo ope mi fun?

Olorun, to da awon oke igbani

Eyin ni mo fi ope mi fun!

Those of us who have come to surrender to Jesus; begin to talk to the Lord and say Father, I have come to you this morning, please have Mercy on me Jesus, forgive me Lord. There is no ‘Medicated soap’ that can wash away sins. Only the Blood of Jesus Christ. I want you to say Father; wash me with the Blood of Jesus Christ. I have come to you this morning, my Father please settle me. Open a New Chapter for me, in the Name of Jesus. Please go to the foundation of my family and alter my records.

If there is any embargo in your family; because you have taken this decision this morning. The embargo shall be lifted in the Name of Jesus. The Lord will write your names in the Book of Life. Every desires of your heart (that is good); the Lord will grant unto you. So shall it be! Let’s begin to bring our prayers to a close.

In Jesus Name we have prayed – Amen.

PRAYER FOR SALVATION: Father we want to Thank You for all these your children who have come to surrender to you. Father You are the God of Mercy; the Bible says your are Rich in Mercy.

In Jesus Name we have prayed – Amen!

Thank you for clapping for Jesus (2ce)

Hallelujah!!

SONG:

Most Blessed, Most Glorious

The Ancient of Days

Almighty Victorious

THANKSGIVING:

It is time for CASTING. One of the Discoveries says: “There must be a casting before a catching”.

Moses cast a tree into the bitter water and that bitter was became sweet.

Brethren as you will cast your offerings this morning; your bitter story will become sweet story in the Name of the Lord Jesus Christ – Amen.

So let’s get ready to give. There are baskets all around, give God a dancing offering. Drop your offering. The Lord will accept our Thanksgiving and Offering in the Name of Jesus – Amen.

… Shall we lift up our offering?

Father, we want to thank you very much for the privilege we have this morning to give. Father please accept our offering, use this offering to further Your work.

Father as they are casting this morning; Father let  this casting provoke a catching in Jesus’ Name.

Thank You Father Lord, in Jesus Name we have prayed – Amen!

… Choir!

Don’t worry, we can’t escape it; dancing is going to take place: not only in this place, even outside the Camp. Joy will follow. Because there will be pleasant surprises.

PRAYER FOR OFFERING:

Father we want to say another THANK YOU, for the privilege we have this morning to cast. My Lord I pray that because Your children have given to You this morning; let money meet money in their hands. They have planted the seeds, let their seeds germinate and bear fruits.

Before the end of this year my Lord, even before the end of March (2019); let our lives begin to advertise You (Advertise Discovery Media Crew). Let our lives Preach the Gospel.

Thank You Father Lord. For in Jesus Name we have prayed – Amen.

God bless you!

If you wrote to Daddy G.O concerning your needs, or you need urgent Divine Attention. Wherever you are, can you please March forward? And receive your Breakthrough.

Or if you desire anything from the Lord. He says: “For without me, ye can do nothing”. So Christ is all you need in other to meet all your needs.

Daddy G.O has mandated me to pray for you. So I have the backing of God the Father (The God of Man). And I have the backing of the Man of God to pray for you.

You are going to do me a Favour (I told you we have not started dancing, and we would do it); throughout Two Thousand and NICE THINGS, we will dance in Jesus’ Name – Amen.

I don’t know what you wrote in that Letter, and I don’t know what you want God to do for you. Can you please help me tell God what you desire? He says; “if ye shall ask ANYTHING in my Name, I WILL DO IT”.

He says; “ASK, and ye shall receive”. We serve a Good God; a Faithful God; a Compassionate God; a Merciful God; the God that is Full of Compassion.

… Tell it to Him!

He says; “I AM the Lord, the God of all flesh, is there anything too hard for me?”

This God can create a Way where there is no way. This God can bring out something Good out of nothing. This God can fight your battles for you. This God can bless you and turn you to a blessing.

Talk to Him, those who cry to God will never cry to man. What do you desire? There is no Impossibility with God.

Thank You Father Lord, in Jesus Mighty Name we have prayed – Amen.

PRAYER FOR THOSE WHO WROTE TO DADDY G.O:

Father Almighty God, all these Your children have not come to man, they have not come to “A Man of God” but they have come to the “God of Man”.

… And You are the GOD of Man.

My Lord I pray; that none of their requests will go into the Voicemail, in the Name of Jesus – Amen. Because we have loaded the cloud today with requests; Your Rain of Breakthroughs will fall, in the Name of Jesus – Amen.

For those of you who have challenges over your health, I pray that the Lord will take you to His Own Theatre and He will operate Divinely on you, in the Name of Jesus – Amen.
