OPENING PRAYER

Almighty God, the One who has beginning and has no ending. The Owner of all Nations; we worship You. Thank You for what You are about to begin to do in Thailand. Thank You because the time for Revival has come! Accept our Thanks in Jesus’ Name.

Tonight in the lives of all Your children who are gathered here. And in the life of this Nation in particular: Father do something New. Let there be Salvation tonight; let there be Healings tonight; let there be Miracles tonight; let there be Signs and Wonders tonight. Let everyone of us leave here singing a New Song. And Father: HEAL THIS LAND.

Thank You Almighty God. In Jesus Mighty Name we have prayed – AMEN!

Let somebody shout Hallelujah – Hallelujah!

The one who shouts the loudest Hallelujah, gets the Biggest Miracle – HALLELUJAH!!!!

Please shake hands with one (1) or two (2) people, and say: God bless you. God will bless you tonight.

Thank you very much.  Then you may please be seated.

Last year I was in Malaysia, and some of your Leaders came for the Program there. And ask: when will you come to Thailand? I laughed because I know my Programs have been booked two (2) years ahead. I said: oh, when God says “Come”, I will come! And here I am.

Because there is somebody here tonight, whose miracle can no longer wait, and am assuring you in the Name of the Almighty God: the Miracle you have been waiting for will come tonight.

In the next one (1) hour, I will be calling on you from time to time to stand up and pray. When I ask you to stand up and pray; am only talking to the young ones. The old ones can sit down and pray. Now you may say: what if the old ones fall asleep? That’s ok, the Bible says the old ones shall dream dreams. They have to fall asleep before they can dream.

Now when I say “Young Ones” am talking of those who are younger than I. If you are younger than I, you are Young! If you are older than I, you are Old! And since I am seventy seven (77) years old: if you are less than seventy seven (77) years old; then you are young.

… How many young people are here? Shout Hallelujah – Hallelujah.

BIBLE TEXT:  1 KINGS 18:30-39

30 And Elijah said unto all the people, Come near unto me. And all the people came near unto him. And he repaired the altar of the LORD that was broken down. 

31 And Elijah took twelve stones, according to the number of the tribes of the sons of Jacob, unto whom the word of the LORD came, saying, Israel shall be thy name: 

32 And with the stones he built an altar in the name of the LORD: and he made a trench about the altar, as great as would contain two measures of seed. 

33 And he put the wood in order, and cut the bullock in pieces, and laid him on the wood, and said, Fill four barrels with water, and pour it on the burnt sacrifice, and on the wood. 

34 And he said, Do it the second time. And they did it the second time. And he said, Do it the third time. And they did it the third time. 

35 And the water ran round about the altar; and he filled the trench also with water. 

36 And it came to pass at the time of the offering of the evening sacrifice, that Elijah the prophet came near, and said, LORD God of Abraham, Isaac, and of Israel, let it be known this day that thou art God in Israel, and that I am thy servant, and that I have done all these things at thy word. 

37 Hear me, O LORD, hear me, that this people may know that thou art the LORD God, and that thou hast turned their heart back again. 

38 Then the fire of the LORD fell, and consumed the burnt sacrifice, and the wood, and the stones, and the dust, and licked up the water that was in the trench. 

39 And when all the people saw it, they fell on their faces: and they said, The LORD, he is the God; the LORD, he is the God.

… Am sure you know the story.

For a long time, there was no Revival in Israel. Everybody was worshipping one Idol or the other. Finally, a day came and a Man of God gathered the people together, and said: let us find out who is the Real God. He said let the Idol Worshippers call on their own god. And I will call on my own God. He said: the God that ANSWERS BY FIRE, that is the “GOD”.

To cut a long story short, it was finally the turn of Elijah to call on his God. He called on God, and the FIRE FELL.

When the Fire fell, certain things happened; that will happen in your life tonight; That will happen in your Nation tonight.

The Fire did not just burn the offerings; it burnt the wood, it burnt the stones. It burnt even the earth (the soil); and it leaked up the water. And suddenly, everybody fell on their faces, and they began to say: The LORD, He is God.

I am believing the Almighty God, the God of Elijah, who is also my God, that from tonight; all over Thailand, everybody will be shouting: JESUS IS LORD!

1. Whenever the Fire of God falls, the first thing that happens is that: PRAYERS ARE ANSWERED INSTANTLY.

The prayer of Elijah was a very shorty prayers. It didn’t last one (1) hour. His prayers (if you read it there) lasted only few minutes. And the Fire Fell; in answer to his prayer.

You see, some Miracles can take place later on; in some cases, the people will wait and wait, for the Miracle to happen. But there are some Miracles, you can’t wait for them: they must happen immediately or it will be too late.

For example, in 1 Samuel 17:45-61; when David was about to meet Goliath, as he was running to meet Goliath; with one stone in his sling. If that one stone failed, David will not have had another opportunity. He would have died that day. So when he let go that stone, in the Name of Jesus, he got INSTANT ANSWER.

In Daniel 3:19-30; when they threw Shadrach, Meshach and Abednego into the fiery furnace; if the Fourth (4th) Man did not get there IMMEDIATELY, the three (3) boys would have died.

… Some Miracles cannot wait till tomorrow. They must happen immediately.

In Daniel 6:16-28; when they threw Daniel into the den of the Lions; if the Angel of God did not get there immediately, Daniel will be a dead man.

There are some Miracles that cannot wait till tomorrow.

There is somebody here right now, your Miracles must come tonight. If you are the one let me hear you say Amen – AMEN!

… Am going to tell you a story before you pray your first Prayer.

STORY:

I was travelling in Nigeria, and on the road there was a very narrow bridge. The bridge can only take one (1) vehicle at a time. So, if another vehicle is coming and they see another vehicle already on the bridge; they will stop until the one on the bridge has passed. And the bridge was over a very deep river.

One day, I was travelling on that bridge. I was already on the bridge. And a big lorry was coming on the other side. He was supposed to stop. But maybe he didn’t see us, or maybe his break failed; he couldn’t stop – he came on the bridge. And we were facing head-on collision. There was time for just one word; my driver and I shouted JESUS!

We met in the middle (of the narrow bridge); somehow, we passed. The bridge is not big enough to take two of us. But God performed a Miracle – He ENLARGED the bridge. I passed, and the lorry passed.

That God is here tonight, He wants to answer your prayer immediately.

PRAYERS:

Please stand on your feet and cry to Him. And say: Father, every prayer I pray tonight, answer by Fire. Go ahead and talk to the Almighty God.

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

So shall it be in Jesus’ Name – Amen. Please be seated.

2. The second thing that happened when the Fire fell was that: “THE OFFERING ON THE ALTAR WAS CONSUMED IMMEDIATELY.”

When your offering is accepted by Fire. Then the harvest begins immediately.

There are some of you who have been giving offerings over the years, but you are yet to see the results.

In the Mighty Name of Jesus Christ, your harvest will begin tonight – Amen.

Some harvest could come after one (1) year; but some harvest must come almost immediately or it will be too late.

Let me give you one (1) or two (2) examples quickly;

In 2 Kings 4:8-17; the Bible tells us of a rich woman who was taking care of Elisha. She was feeding Elisha. She even built an apartment for Elisha. And it took some time before Elisha said, what can I do for this woman? And when he discovered the woman was barren, he said: oh, you will have a son.

But when you read 1 Kings 17:8-16; you have the story of the widow of Zarephath. She had only one (1) meal left. And she gave it to the man of God. Immediately, her food began to multiply. His harvest came immediately.

There is somebody here today (or reading); when the Fire of God falls, your harvest will begin – Amen.

… Let me tell you a story before you pray your second prayer.

STORY:

Several years ago, a man came to me and gave me a Mercedes Benz Car. Oh, I was happy. I prayed for him and he left. That night (not the following day; that night God spoke to me and said we are going to visit that man. I want us to go and say: THANK YOU! 

And so, I phoned the man; I told him we (God and I ) were coming. We got to his house, I told him God sent me to say THANK YOU. I prayed and I left.

The following day, he got to his place of work, they terminated his appointment (they sacked him). And he came to me and said: I thought you said God asked you to say THANK YOU. I told him, my son, go on holidays; enjoy yourself for two (2) weeks. Because what is coming is BIG!

He went on holidays, when he came back he got a phone call from a big company. They said: where have you been? We have been looking for you. We learnt that they sacked you in your place of work, we need you. We will pay you double of what they were paying you before. He came to me: Ah, your God has answered. I said no, that is not what is coming. That is too small.

He said: What do I tell this people? I said tell them: I will pray about the offer. He went, he told them. Before he got home, he got another phone call. Another company said, we need you. We will pay you five (5) times what they were paying you.

PRAYER:

Stand on your feet, cry to God and say Father; please accept all my Offerings by Fire. Go ahead cry to the Almighty God.

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

Let me give you one example quickly, because of time. In 2 Kings 4:1-7;

PROPHECY

Oh. Thank You Father. The Lord wants me to tell somebody here tonight (or reading); He says He is going to heal you from the top of your head to the sole of your feet.

If you are the one, let me hear you shout Hallelujah – Hallelujah!

In 2 Kings 4:1-7; the Bible tells us of a widow who was heavily in debt. And she had two (2) sons. And then one day, the creditors came to her. And they told her: If you don’t pay our money by tomorrow, we will sell your two (2) sons. Before that day, if anybody saw the widow, and they say: How are you Sister? Praise God, the Lord is my Shepherd, all is well.

But when the creditors said: by tomorrow, if you don’t pay, your sons are gone! Everyone who saw that Sister that day, Sister how are you? She said: All is not well, God must help me today. So she ran to the Man of God. And that day, all her problems were over.

There is somebody here today (or reading); in the Mighty Name of Jesus Christ all your problems will be over today – Amen.

PRAYER:

I want you to stand on your feet and cry to the Almighty God and say Father; Solve all my problems today. All my problems: my marital, financial problems, let them end today. Let your Fire fall and solve all my problems today.

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

So shall it be in Jesus’ Name – Amen! Let’s be seated.

3. Now, the next thing that happened is that the Fire “ATE UP THE DUST”.

Now what does that means?

In Genesis 3:19 God told Adam, He said: you are from the dust.

So when the Fire ate the dust, that is saying: every physical problems will come to an end. Every sickness, every disease, every ache and pain.

And you know what? Medically if somebody is sick, he doesn’t even know yet. When the doctors say somebody has cancer, many at times, it has been in the body for sometime.

But when the Fire falls; whether you know you are sick or not, that which is already in your body that should not be there, will be consumed by the Fire.

Many at times you go to the doctors, and  they say we don’t even know what is wrong with you. Or they say we know but we don’t even have medicine for it. When the Fire of God falls, it’s not interested in medicine. It is a Miracle that will just  come.

Let me give you one example from the Bible; Mark 5:25-34; the Bible talks about a woman who had an issue of blood. She was bleeding and  she went to several doctors. And then they tried all they could, but they couldn’t help her. It was only when she came in contact with Jesus; and the spark of her faith with a little bit of Fire from the body of Jesus Christ went into her and she was healed.

There is somebody here tonight (or reading); the Fire of God is going to come upon you. And every sickness is going to disappear.

… Let me tell you one more story.

STORY:

A  woman was sick in Lagos (Nigeria), and she was in the hospital. There was nothing the doctors could do. So when the husband came to the hospital on the evening, they called the husband aside, they said: your wife will be gone before tomorrow morning; there’s nothing we can do.

So the husband went to the wife, pretended to be a good husband; kissed the wife, and then left. As soon as he came out of the hospital, he called his girlfriend (he called his lover); Come over, let’s enjoy ourselves, that stupid woman is about to die.

That night, with the doors shut, Somebody walked through the door in the dress of a doctor (without opening the door, He just walked in) and took the woman by the hand and said: “I AM the Lord that healeth thee”. 

… And immediately, the woman was healed.

She got up, and when the nurses saw her coming they thought it was her ghost (they thought she had died, that it was her ghost). And the woman went home and met the husband with the girlfriend – the one who was expecting her to die, got a big surprise!

PRAYER:

I want you to stand on your feet, and cry to the Almighty God and say Father; let Your Fire fall on me. Every sickness, every disease in my body, let Your Fire Burn today.

Thank You Father, Glory be to God! In Jesus Mighty Name we have prayed – Amen.

So shall it be in Jesus’ Name – Amen!

Let’s be seated!

4. Again, one other thing happened; The Fire “LEAKED UP THE WATER”.

It’s a very special kind of Fire. Because if there is a Fire Outbreak, and you want to put it out: You pour water on it. But this Fire, it drinks water – Very Special Fire.

Then what does it mean?

It means when  the Fire of God falls, Your WEEPING IS OVER!

It means everything that is causing you sorrow will be WIPED OUT by that Fire.

The Bible says….

PROPHECY

The Lord wants me to tell somebody here (or reading); He said before tomorrow morning your tears of sorrow will change to tears of Joy.

Oh, Thank You Father.

Psalms 30:5 says: “Weeping may endure for a night, but JOY comes in the morning”.

In the Name that is above every other names; by the time the sun rises tomorrow, your day of Joy would have come – Amen!

I can give you several examples from the Bible. Just one (1) will do.

Luke 7:11-16; it tells us the story of a widow who had only one (1) son. And the one son died. And she was on the way to the burial ground when Jesus came on the scene. The woman had several reasons to be sad; she had lost her husband and now she had lost her son. And she knew that very soon, after burying that boy she would return home alone!

And she can guess that all those people who said they are sympathizing with her must be asking: Is she the only one in Town? How come she has so many problems? She knew she hadn’t anybody to sympathize with her. Then Jesus came on the scene, instead of going to the burial ground, she  went home rejoicing with her son.

You see, the best that anybody can do (even if they are your friends) when you are in sorrow, they can sympathize, they can try to comfort. But when the Fire falls, that thing causing the sorrow, He removes it.

I tell you one (1) more story; because I don’t know when next I will be in Thailand.

STORY:

One day we were having a Program like this; and it was time to pray. And I said everybody should be praying, and I was praying too (because I need help from God). And when I was little, my parents taught me that when it is time to pray, I must close my eyes. So I was praying (with me eyes closed) when all of a sudden God said to me, son open your eyes.

“Lord, am praying”. He said: Open your eyes!

I opened my eyes, and he pointed to a woman in the crowd who was weeping seriously. Her dress was soaked with tears. Go said: Go and tell her “STOP WEEPING”. So I walked to her (she was far gone in prayer) so I tapped her by shoulder and said: God asked me to tell you “STOP WEEPING”.

Immediately, because she knew God had heard her; she knew that her answer will soon come. Suddenly, her face brightened up.

I didn’t know what was happening. But about a year later, she came to see me and she said: Do you recognize me? I said No ma. She said: I was the woman who was weeping. She had been married for several years, she had no child. And the parents of the husband had told her: If you don’t give a child to our son, we will drive you out of the family. That’s what she was crying about.

But as she stood before me that day; on her right hand was a baby, on her left hand was another baby.

PRAYER:

I want you to stand on your feet and cry to the Almighty God and say Father; Everything that is causing me sorrow. Remove it permanently today!

Thank You Father. In Jesus Mighty Name we have prayed – Amen.

And so shall it be in Jesus’ Name – Amen. Please let’s be seated. Am about to close NOW!

5. There is one (1) final thing that happened when the Fire fell: “People fell on their faces and said: JEHOVAH IS THE LORD.

When the Fire falls, people surrendered. People forsake their old ways – They surrendered to the LIVING GOD.

I was a very bad boy. I was so bad that I have said: if I were Jesus, I won’t save this boy. When I saw people preaching, I laughed at them. But one day, THE FIRE FELL. And I surrendered my life to Jesus, and everything changed. Everything in my life changed. I used to struggle with malaria fever every two (2) weeks. Jesus saved my soul and Malaria disappeared!

I come from the poorest family. My father was so poor that Poor People called my father POOR. Today, things are different. I can go anywhere in the world that I want to go; because God has provided. Everything changed, when I surrendered my life to Jesus.

You see, the Bible says in 2 Corinthians  5:17: “Therefore if any man be in Christ, he is a new creature: old things are passed away; behold, all things are become new.”

ALTAR CALL:

Am begging you tonight, if you have not yet surrendered your life to Jesus; do so tonight. Am talking about genuine surrender to Jesus Christ. Am not talking about just coming to Church. I mean saying bye bye to a life of sin. Am saying, asking Jesus to take over your life. Asking Him to be your Lord. Telling Him whatever He says, that’s what you will do.

If you surrender your life to Jesus Christ, there is no limit as to where He can take you. I am the son of a farmer; poor – very poor farmer in a very little village. Today, in my country (Nigeria) Governors and Presidents: they want to see me.

WHY? Not because I have Ph.D in Mathematics, but because Jesus saved my soul.

If you want to become what God wants you to be, give your life to Jesus.

So if there is anyone here (or reading now) and you want to surrender your life to Jesus; am going to count from one (1) to five (5). Come and stand before me, let me pray for your Salvation. Come!!!

Am counting now…..

Thank You Father! Please just lift your hands to the Almighty God and say Lord Jesus please save my soul. Give me genuine Salvation today. I surrender my life completely to you. Save my soul today. Please Lord save my soul today. I will serve You for the rest of my life. Be my Lord, be my Saviour. I will serve You for the rest of my life.

Thank You my Father. In Jesus Mighty Name we have prayed – Amen.

PRAYER FOR SALVATION

Almighty Jesus I want to Thank You for Your Words. And I want to Thank You for all these Your people that have come forward to surrender their lives to You. Please receive them in Jesus’ Name.

Save their souls, let Your Blood wash away their sins, in Jesus’ Name. Write their names in the “Book of Life” in Jesus’ Name. And help them to serve You for ever in Jesus’ Name. And please Lord, from now on any time they call on You: please answer them by Fire in Jesus’ Name.

Thank You my Father and my God; in Jesus Mighty Name we have prayed – Amen!

Praise the Lord!

Now those of you who have come forward, I want to make you a Solemn Promise (a Man of God Promise); that from now on by the Special Grace of God, I will be praying for you. And so I will like to have your names, your prayers requests as well as your address. So that I will take a copy of it to my Headquarters and I Promise you I will be praying for you. Amen!

Now, the Ushers will give you a card, which I ask you to please fill. And then return to the Counselors. Please make sure you collect the cards and fill the details. Then I promise you I will be praying for you.

When you have taken a copy, you can go back to your seat and fill it there. But make sure you collect a copy before you go. Collect a copy, fill it  (before you go home) and submit it.

Now, am sure you have a SPECIAL (Personal) REQUEST of yours. Something that is very, very important to you that you want God to do for you. Even as you are lifting up your Offerings to Him, today;

You will say: Father I Thank You for what You have already done, but please do this EXTRA thing for me. Go ahead, talk to God for two (2) minutes: Thank You for what You have already done, but please do this  SPECIAL something for me. (And tell Him that SPECIAL THING you want Him to do).

In Jesus Mighty Name we have prayed – Amen.

… Still lifting your hands to God. I want to pray for you now.

CLOSING PRAYER

My Father and my God I want to Thank You. Thank You for bringing me to Thailand. Thank You for what You have already done tonight. Please accept our Thanks in Jesus’ Name.

Every SPECIAL THING that these Your children have asked for: Give to them tonight, in Jesus’ Name.
