Almighty God please let me be one of them. Don’t let me go empty handed.
Thank You Father. In Jesus Mighty Name we have prayed – Amen.
SONG

OPENING PRAYER
Almighty God, King of kings and Lord of lords. The Unchangeable Changer, the Almighty! The Great Physician, the Great Provider; the Great Deliverer; we Worship You, we Magnify Your Holy Name. Thank You for this great day in this great Nation of Seychelles. Thank You for what You have done in the past. Thank You for what You will do tonight. Please, accept our Worship in Jesus’ Name.
Father tonight, in a very Special Way; Visit Your children. Save souls tonight; Heal tonight; Set captives free tonight; let there be Miracles tonight. Let there be Signs, let there be Wonders, let there be Joy. By the time this day is over, let every one of us have cause to Glorify Your Name. And please Lord, HEAL THIS LAND: Let sinners be save.
In Jesus Mighty Name we have prayed – AMEN!
Well, let somebody shout Hallelujah – Hallelujah!
… That’s not bad; but let me hear an Heavenly shout of hallelujah – HALLELUJAH!!!!!
Alright! That’s better.
Shake hands with one (1) or two (2) people, and tell them: The FIRE will fall for you tonight.
… And then you may please be seated. God bless you – Amen.
I want to thank the Almighty God for making it possible for me to be here tonight. It wasn’t really my plan that we have this Program. I knew I was going to be in India and Thailand. So I thought that after those two (2) Nations, I will come to Seychelles and rest for two (2) days, before going home.
I was supposed to come here and rest! But then, the people here heard about it and they take the “REST” to means something else – (Laughter).
But I believe it is because God knows that there is somebody here whose Miracle can no longer wait. If you are the one, let me hear you shout hallelujah – Hallelujah!
Now (I won’t take too much of your time). I am a Mathematician, so I don’t know how to preach for long.
And when God wants to perform a Miracle; He does it suddenly! But I will be calling on you again and again tonight (in the next 1 hour) to stand up and pray!
You see, I can assure you “GOD IS HERE!” Because He said: where two (2) or three (3) people are gathered together in My Name (God), I will be there.
And God answers prayers!
The Bible says that the reason we have not received is because we ask not.
Tonight, we want to ASK. And so when I ask you to stand up and pray: Please don’t pray like ladies and gentlemen.
I want you to pray like lions and lionesses.
After tonight, you can go back to becoming Ladies and Gentlemen. But make sure you get your Miracles tonight.
… Do I hear your Amen? – AMEN! Ok!
Now when I ask you to stand up and pray; am only talking to the young ones. Old people don’t need to stand up (they can sit down and do their own praying).
But you may say: what happens, suppose while they are sitting down they fall asleep?
That’s ok; because the Bible says: the old ones will dream dreams. And so before they can dream, they have to fall asleep first.
… So those of you who are “YOUNG” you must stand up and PRAY!
Now, my own definition of a young person is somebody who is younger than I. An old fellow is somebody who is older than I. And since I am seventy seven (77) years old: if you are younger than seventy seven (77) years you are young.
So, who are the young ones in the house tonight? Let me hear you Shout Hallelujah – Hallelujah.
… Let’s move very quickly.
Before I forget; the Choir here have been a wonderful Choir.
When you talk about “ROSES in the desert”, you are talking about this Choir – Fantastic Choir!
Let’s give the Lord another round of applause! They are very, very good – ok!
BIBLE TEXT: JOHN 5: 2-9
2 Now there is at Jerusalem by the sheep market a pool, which is called in the Hebrew tongue Bethesda, having five porches.
3 In these lay a great multitude of impotent folk, of blind, halt, withered, waiting for the moving of the water.
4 For an angel went down at a certain season into the pool, and troubled the water: whosoever then first after the troubling of the water stepped in was made whole of whatsoever disease he had.
5 And a certain man was there, which had an infirmity thirty and eight years.
6 When Jesus saw him lie, and knew that he had been now a long time in that case, he saith unto him, Wilt thou be made whole?
7 The impotent man answered him, Sir, I have no man, when the water is troubled, to put me into the pool: but while I am coming, another steppeth down before me.
8 Jesus saith unto him, Rise, take up thy bed, and walk.
9 And immediately the man was made whole, and took up his bed, and walked: and on the same day was the sabbath.
The THEME of our Gathering tonight is: “LET THE FIRE FALL”.
Now when the “FIRE FALLS” (and we are talking about the Fire of God); it means God has come down from Heaven to Earth.
… It means “GOD IS PRESENT.”
For example, in Exodus 3:1-6; the Bible tells us about what happened to Moses at the backside of the desert. He was there looking after his Father-In-Law’s flocks. All of a sudden, the Fire Fell. And he saw that there was a bush burning; but the bush was not consumed. And he turned aside to see the sight, he heard someone calling his name (from inside the Fire). The Bible says: when he said here am I, he hid his face (because he didn’t want to look at God).
… When we say “LET THE FIRE FALL”, we are actually saying: “LET GOD COME DOWN”.
So tonight, the Fire is going to Fall; It means the Almighty God will transfer His Throne to Seychelles (for the next 1 hour).
Now, when the Fire Falls (when God comes down). There are several many IMPLICATIONS. I will just mention a few.
- And the most important one (the first one) is that: WAITING IS OVER! Because like we said in the case of Moses in Exodus 4:1-10; you will hear God saying to Moses: my people have had enough. I have come down to put an end to their sufferings.
… He’s saying: THE WAITING IS OVER!
For Moses, Moses himself has been a fugitive. But that day when the Fire Fell, the Fugitive was no longer a fugitive. His waiting was over. And in the Bible Text that I read to you, in John 5:2-9 (which we will be using as our example of discussion tonight). There was a man who had been waiting for thirty eight (38) years. And the One who is God in the flesh paid Him a visit and the Waiting was over.
I want to start tonight by decreeing to somebody: The Miracles you have been waiting for, you will get them tonight – Amen!
You see, the Bible tells us in Ecclesiastes 3:1-8; it tells us that God has a Time Table for every Purpose. There is a time for this, and there is a time for that.
In Psalm 102:13; it says “Thou shalt arise, and have Mercy upon Zion: WHY? Because the time to favour her, yea, the set time, is come.”
For somebody listening to me tonight (or reading now) your time of favour has COME – Amen.
I can give you several examples; but I don’t want to take too much of your time. But if you read Luke 5:1-11. The Bible tells us about Peter who had fished all night, caught nothing. Then Jesus came into his boat, preached through his boat and then asked him to cast his nets. He did, and caught too many fishes that he needed an extra boat to carry them. And then the Lord said to him: from now on, you won’t be catching Fish, you will be catching men.
Peter was happy; he forsook all and followed the Lord: I’m going to be a great Minister of God. But one year passed, he didn’t catch a single human (fish). Second year, third year. And then finally the Lord left. But then one day; THE FIRE FELL (at Pentecost). And then Peter preached a Sermon and won three thousand (3,000) souls.
… In other words, when the Fire fell, the waiting ended.
I will tell you a STORY; and I will tell you some stories tonight. Because this is my first time in Seychelles. I know by the Grace of God I will come again. But I don’t know when. At least tonight we are together.
STORY:
One of my Pastors got married and started believing God for the Fruit of the womb: two (2) years, five (5) years, ten (10) years! And he cried to God: God, am already a Pastor, there is nowhere else I can go. When are You going to answer me? God said: I will answer you, just wait. Fifteen (15) years, twenty (20) years, twenty five (25) years!
Then on one occasion (as in a Gathering like this); suddenly God spoke through me and said: There is someone here, tell him, the WAITING is over.
Ah! He jumped for joy. That very month the wife conceived. And nine (9) Months later the baby came.
I have Good News for somebody here tonight or reading (who is ready to pray): Your own WAITING is over – Amen!
PRAYER:
Shall we please stand on our feet, and lift your voice to the Almighty God say Father (eh, I say pray like Warriors). Say Father; let the Fire Fall for me tonight and let my Miracles begin. 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’ Name – Amen. Please be seated.
- The Second thing that happens when the Fire Falls (when God comes down) – if we take it from the story of the man at the Pool of Bethesda; when Jesus asked him: Will you be made whole?
He said I have no one.
When the Fire Fall: LONELINESS WILL END.
Oh, there are many people who are lonely.
They’re lonely in Business because they don’t have good Partners. Some are lonely because by now they should have married, but they are still living with their parents. And the parents are already beginning to say: when are you going away from here and start your own family? There are people who are lonely, that even though they are married, it is two (2) strangers living together in the same house. Some people are lonely in Ministry, because they just have nobody to lift up their hands.
Tonight, when the Fire Falls; your loneliness will END – WHY? Because when the Fire Falls, it is when God comes down.
The One who is called “THE FAITHFUL FRIEND” will suddenly come to your side.
You know, the Bible says in Hebrews 13:5; it said: “Let your conversation be without covetousness; and be content with such things as ye have: for he hath said, I will never leave thee, nor forsake thee.”
The man at the Pool of Bethesda; at the beginning when he came to the Pool (seeking for healing) he probably had one (1) or two (2) friends. But when they waited for him to get his healing (after thirty eight (38) years): everybody had to go to their own business.
There are some of you who had friends before, but they have forsaken you. They have been expecting certain things, but the breakthrough didn’t come. So they moved away.
But there is somebody who will never leave you, who will never forsake you. When the Fire Falls tonight; you will suddenly begin to feel the Presence of the Almighty God Himself. He will be so close to you (as close to you as your shadow).
Because Psalms 121:5 tells us that: “The LORD is thy keeper: the LORD is thy shade upon thy right hand.”
When the Fire Falls, you will discovered that the only friend you need is standing by your side.
STORY:
I have told the story before, of some Fishes who were swimming in an ocean (little, little fishes). And there was a Mighty Shark with a baby Shark there, always eating the Fishes.
So one day these Fishes called a Prayer Meeting (so you know they must be special fishes). They said: Lord, come down, we want to talk to You. And so the Lord came down and said: Yes, what can I do for you?
… Just like God is going to ask you tonight: What can I do for you?
And the first fish said to God: All I want is that all scale on my body they will become eyes. WHY? So that if the Shark wants to get me from behind, I will see the Shark. And I can then swim away – ok!
So He turned to the second Fish, What do you want? The second one said: I want a pair of wings. WHY? So that if the Shark is coming after me, I will fly out of the Ocean (and the Shark can’t fly) – ok!
So the Lord turned to the third Fish and said, What do you want? The third Fish said: All I want is that, wherever I go, You will go with me.
As soon as they finished their Prayer Meeting the Lord left. And immediately the Fish that wanted many eyes, suddenly found eyes all over its body. The one who wanted wings suddenly developed wings. The third remained just like before.
It wasn’t long after that, that the Shark and the baby Shark were hunting. And they saw the fish with many eyes. Ah, what a beautiful Fish! Let’s go and get this one. So they began to move. And it said: I have already seen you. So he swam towards the beach. And because it had so many eyes, it saw a little Pool of water on the Beach. And jumped into that little Pool of water and began to laugh at the Sharks. But very soon, the sun rose, the little pool of water dried up and the Fish with many eyes died.
Now, when the Sharks found they couldn’t catch the small fish (the one with eyes), they turned back. And they saw the Fish with two (2) wings. Eh, let’s get this one. And that one flew out of the Ocean, and it began to laugh and say come and get me if you can. But around that time, an Eagle was flying overhead. And looked down and saw a Fish with feathers. And said: Oh God, I had always wanted to eat fish; only I cannot swim. Now You brought one to me in my domain. And so the second Fish ended in the belly of the Eagle.
And then the baby Shark said to the mother Shark: there is still one fish – it’s not even afraid and running away from us. Why don’t we get this one? The mother Shark said: are you blind? Can’t you see that wherever this Fish is going, there is the Shadow of a MAN following it about? If we get close to that one, the MAN whose Shadow you see, will kill us. And that Fish kept on enjoying itself.
PRAYER:
I want you to stand on your feet and cry to the Almighty God. And say Father; Let the FIRE FALL and keep me Company for the rest of my life. Go ahead and talk to the Almighty God.
Thank You my Father. In Jesus Mighty Name we have prayed – Amen. So shall it be in Jesus’ Name – Amen. Please be seated.
- And then the Third Thing that happens (whenever the Fire Falls) as we find in the story we are using as our example (John 5:2-9) – When Jesus said to that sick man: will you be made whole? He said, I am lonely, I have no one to help me. When the Fire of God Falls, HELPLESSNESS COMES TO AN END.
WHY? Because the One who comes down, is the One who is called “THE HELPER OF THE HELPLESS”.
Psalms 46:1 says: “God is our refuge and strength, a very Present help in trouble.”
There are many of us who are here tonight (or reading) we don’t nobody to help us. We don’t have anyone in Government. Some of us don’t have any rich Uncle or rich Aunty. But there is Somebody who can Help. There is Someone who is called “The Helper of the Helpless”.
And even if you say you have somebody (a human being) who can help you. In Psalms 60:11; the Bible says “Give us help from trouble: for vain is the help of man.”
A man may say I will help you. He may really mean it, that he wanted to help you. But he may die before he can help you.
A man may say: I want to help you, but he might not have means to.
But there is Someone who never dies. There is Someone who has all the means
That’s why David said in Psalms 121:1; David said: “I will lift up mine eyes unto the hills, from whence cometh my help. My help cometh from the LORD, which made heaven and earth.”
There is Someone who is the Helper of the Helpless. And He is here tonight to HELP somebody – Because when the Fire Falls, His Help comes to the Helpless.
STORY:
We were building a Camp in Nigeria (the story of the Camp goes way back), but let’s begin from “we were already building a Camp”. And people were coming for Convention at the Camp. We have already announced to them: our next Convention is going to be at our Camp, and you must all come. And they were coming (in their thousands). Well, not too many thousands then (about ten thousand). And the Camp was in the jungle; and we had a big problem. The big problem was “Water”. We were digging Well, and because the ground was clay: when we dig the well today, and we feel we have reached water, by tomorrow the Well would have collapsed.
God, what am I going to do? There is a week to go to the Convention, and the people were coming (and I had no money to go and buy water): Lord Help me. And all of a sudden, one man was driving past and he saw activities going on in the jungle. Caterpillars working. So he drove in, and he saw me. He said: what are you people trying to do here? I said, we want to have a Convention. Oh, what a great idea! He said: what do you need? I said, the only problem we have right now is water. As we are digging the Well, the Well is collapsing. He said: what you need is a Borehole. I said, I know that, but where is the money? He said: I will build you one. I said, we have only one (1) week to go. He said: that’s enough time. By the evening of that day, he had brought in Engineers and they started Drilling. Before the Convention, water was flowing.
PRAYER:
I want you to stand on your feet. And lift your voice to Him and say Father; You are the Helper of the Helpless, SEND HELP TO ME! Go ahead and talk to Him.
Thank You my Father. In Jesus Mighty Name we have prayed – Amen. So shall it be in Jesus’ Name – Amen. Please be seated.
- Again, the fourth thing that happens (as we can see in the story of the man at the Pool of Bethesda) is that he said: I have tried for thirty eight (38) years and I have failed for thirty eight (38) years. When the Fire Falls, FAILURE ENDS!
May I decree to somebody here today (or reading)? From tonight onwards, you will never know failure again – Amen!
WHY will Failure end when Fire Falls? Because the One who comes down (when the Fire Falls) is called THE STRENGTH OF ISRAEL.
1 Samuel 15:29; the Bible says: “And also the Strength of Israel will not lie nor repent: for he is not a man, that he should repent.”
And the Bible tells us in Isaiah 40:28-31; it tells us that this God (who comes down when the Fire Falls) is never weary, is never tired, He never sleeps, He never slumbers. Its says even if you say you are a young man; you will get tired. It says He will give strength to the weak. It says those who wait upon the Lord shall RENEW their strength. When this Helper of the Helpless comes down to help you; you will suddenly discovered that failure becomes a thing of the past.
You know, the Bible says in Philippians 4:13; it says: “I can do ALL THINGS through Christ which strengtheneth me.”
When the Fire falls, and Christ the Anointed One (the Fiery One) begins to dwell in you: all of a sudden, Failure will become something of the past.
Some of us who are here (or reading), we are not where we are because we are lazy; it’s not that we didn’t struggle. It’s because we struggled and we FAILED.
I used to be a Lecturer, I know what it is to for a student to be really, really a brilliant student: study hard, and get into the examination hall forget everything. I have been there before.
I remember years ago, when I was a student at the University, and (with all humility) I was fairly good in my subjects. I mean, if you are not good in your subject, you don’t end up getting a Ph.D.
But I got to the examination hall, and it’s one of the subjects I know very well. They asked us to answer five (5) questions out of eight (8). I read the first one, blank. The second one blank, the third one blank (by now I was sweating. Up to the eighth one. I was about to get up; to say well, since I can’t get ahead or get out of this. I was about to get up and say: I will come and do it as a resit. When An Invisible Hand pressed me down, as said “SIT DOWN”. I sat down down for about fifteen (15) minutes, I couldn’t do anything. All of a sudden, Ah! I read the first one: I know this; this is this Formula. I read the second one; this is this Theory. I did all the eight (8). And because I was still childish then, I wrote at the Top of the Answer sheet: Choose any five (5) and mark.
PRAYER:
Stand on your feet, and lift your voice to the Almighty God and say Father; let the Fire fall: Don’t let me ever fail again. Go ahead, talk to the Almighty God.
Thank You my Father. In Jesus Mighty Name we have prayed – Amen. So shall it be in Jesus’ Name – Amen. Please be seated.
… You are doing very well. The Fire is already falling for you.
PROPHECIES:
- Thank You Father. There’s a Message for two (2) people: One is a man, the other is a woman: The Lord asked me to tell the man: I will restore your Potency. As for the woman the Lord asked me to tell you: I will resurrect your womb.
… Let’s rejoice for those two (2) people. Shout hallelujah – Hallelujah!
- Oh, Thank You Father (I believe God loves those of you in Seychelles). Because the Lord asked me to tell someone here tonight that because you came: I will open the Heavens for you.
- Now the fifth thing that happens when the Fire falls (again from the story of this man in our Bible Text): he said, the reason I failed was that somebody got in before me. In other words, I didn’t just fail, I was DEFEATED in my effort.
You know that there are many of us who have failed in life because there are Forces of Darkness fighting against us – Forces we cannot see, trying to make sure that we will not succeed in life.
I have Good News for you tonight; when the Fire of God falls, you will not suffer another defeat – Amen.
WHY? Because the One who comes (when the Fire falls, is called: THE LORD OF HOST.
According to Psalmd 24:7-10; it says: “Lift up your heads, O ye gates; and be ye lift up, ye everlasting doors; and the King of Glory shall come in. Who is this King of Glory? The LORD strong and mighty, the LORD mighty in battle. Lift up your heads, O ye gates; even lift them up, ye everlasting doors; and the King of Glory shall come in. Who is this King of Glory? The LORD of hosts, he is the King of Glory”
The God we serve is not a Civilian. He is a Soldier.
Oh, the Bible says in Exodus 15:3: “The LORD is a man of war: the LORD is his name.”
He will fight for you tonight. The Bible says: Let God Arise, and His enemies will? SCATTER.
When God arises for you, all those enemies that have been causing you so many defeat, they will be scattered!
Because the Bible says in Romans 8:31: “What shall we then say to these things? If God be for us, who can be against us?”
In the same Romans 8:37; the Bible says: “Nay, in all these things we are more than conquerors through Him that loved us.”
So when God decides to fight for you, he has His peculiar way of dealing with the enemies.
So everybody who has suffered a defeat before in life, in the Mighty Name of Jesus Christ; you will not be defeated again – Amen.
I always tell a particular story. When I want to talk about defeat: Change that leads to Victory.
STORY:
Well, it’s one of my daughters who came to me and said: Daddy, am in trouble. I said what is the problem? She said: I love my husband, but there is this strange woman who decided to fight with me over my husband. She said; I did everything I know to retain my husband, but the woman defeated me. She said: my husband has moved out now. Left me with four (4) children, to go and live with a woman with five (5) children. I said, no problem. We will pray. The Lord will fight for you and give you Victory. I said your husband will come and beg. She said: Daddy, am not asking him to come and beg me; I will beg him. I just want him to come back home. I said, your husband will come and beg you, because my God will fight for you. I said God will start a quarrel between your husband and the strange woman that nobody will be able to resolve.
Few days later, the quarrel started. And the strange woman said to the husband of my daughter: Don’t you know your head is not correct. Because if your head is correct, how could you leave your four (4) children and come and live with a woman with five (5) children (and non of the children is yours)? The husband of my daughter said: that is true, something must be wrong with my head. So he parked his things, came to the house. Knocked at the door. When the wife opened the door, when he saw the wife, he fell on the floor and said take me back. The wife said: Just come in.
There’s somebody here tonight (or reading) every defeat you have suffered is going to be changed to Victory.
PRAYER:
I want you to stand on your feet and cry unto Him. Say Father; You are the Lord of Host, let the Fire fall and SCATTER all my enemies. Open your mouth and cry to the Almighty God.
Thank You my Father. In Jesus Mighty Name we have prayed – Amen. So shall it be in Jesus’ Name – Amen. Please be seated.
- That brings us to the Sixth thing that happens when the Fire falls. You see, this man by the Pool side said: when the Angel comes down and stir the Pool. I will be on my way, before I get there, somebody will jump in before me. So I will come back to where I was lying down: Going round in Circles for thirty eight (38) years. He was STAGNANT! He couldn’t go back home (because nobody knows when the Angel will come). He wasn’t moving forward, he wasn’t moving upward. He was there, just round in circles.
When the Fire Falls, STAGNATION COMES TO AN END.
There are some of us who have been working hard for years; but there is nothing to show for it. People look at us as if we are failures, simply because we have been STAGNANT!
Some of us have been due for Promotion for a long time, Promotion didn’t come. So we are just going round in circles.
But as the Lord God Almighty lives; the One who asked me be in Seychelles tonight. From today onward, your stagnation will come to an end – Amen.
WHY? Because the One who comes down (when the Fire falls) is the GREAT PROMOTER.
Psalms 75:6-7; tells us that: ‘For Promotion cometh neither from the east, nor from the west, nor from the south. But God is the judge: He putteth down one, and setteth up another.”
The Bible says in 1 Samuel 2:7-8; it tells us that: “The LORD maketh poor, and maketh rich: he bringeth low, and lifteth up. He raiseth up the poor out of the dust, and lifteth up the beggar from the dunghill, to set them among Princes, and to make them inherit the throne of Glory: for the Pillars of the earth are the LORD’s, and he hath set the world upon them.”
In 1 Samuel 16:1-13; you will remember when God sent Samuel to the house of Jesse to go and anoint a King. He got there, and Jesse presented the big boys – seven (7) of them. And God kept saying: NO, not this one. Do you know that the father of David didn’t bring him from the field? When the Man of God said: Have you any child left? He said yes, but that one is not the kind of person who will become a King.
You know, I thank God that God is not a Democrat. Because if it is by voting, David would never had become King. Because even his father would never had voted for him. But when God wants to Promote, He doesn’t care what anybody may thing.
I decree to somebody here today (or reading); after tonight, your Promotion Begins – Amen!
I can give you several examples; but let me just give you one (1). Some people don’t want me to keep repeating it, but it is the truth. I am the son of a very poor farmer. My father was so poor: poor people called him POOR. In Mathematics that is what we would have called “POOR SQUARED” – If you know anything about Mathematics at all.
You want to know how poor we were? The day my father bought an umbrella we celebrated. That’s how poor we were! For the first eighteen (18) years of life I had no pair of shoes. That’s how poor we were.
But today, things are different. Because one day the Fire Fell. And everything changed.
PRAYER:
Stand on your feet and cry to the Almighty God. And say Father; let the Fire Fall and ACCELERATE my Promotion. Go ahead, cry to the Almighty God.
Thank You my Father. In Jesus Mighty Name we have prayed – Amen. So shall it be in Jesus’ Name – Amen. Please be seated.
Am about to end now. I told you am a Mathematician, I can’t preach for too long. But I believe God has done something for somebody already.
- The final thing I want to mention when the Fire falls is that: SICKNESS COMES TO AN END.
Because at the end of the story, when the sick man has told the story: I have been sick for thirty eight (38) years; I have nobody to help me. Jesus ignored everything he just said to him: GET UP! Be healed anyway!
I come in the Name of the Lord of Host, to say that tonight: every sickness you brought into this place (or right now as you are reading) will not go back with you – Amen!
Because the One who comes (when the Fire falls) is called THE GREAT PHYSICIAN.
Exodus 15:26; it says: “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.”
… He says: I will be your Physician, I will be your Healer.
He is your Maker, according to John 1:1-3; the Bible says: “In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God. The same was in the beginning with God. All Things were made by him; and without him was not any thing made that was made.”
That means He made you. Now because He made you; if there is something wrong with you, He can repair. In Mark 3:1-5; the Bible says: Jesus came into the Temple, and there was a man there with a withered hand. You know what that one means? The hands was useful before, but the hands withered (it can no longer work). Jesus Christ said to Him, stand up! He stood up. He said, stretch forth your hand. And as he stretch forth his hands, the hands became whole like the other one. He REPAIRED that one.
But if your case is beyond repair, He can give you SPARE PART. Because He is the One who made you. In John 9:1-7; the Bible tells us about a man who was born blind – not that his eye became blind. He had no eyes at all. And people began to talk: Ah, who sinned, that this man was born blind? His parents or himself? Jesus said NO! It’s not a question of sinning; I just want to show you how I made you. He spat on the ground, made some mud; put itwhere the eyes should be. And told the man to go and wash off the mud. When he did, he came back with brand new eyes!
You heard in one of the Testimonies (that I showed you in the clip). A woman had Cancer of the Breast; went to the hospital, they cut off the breast. And one of my daughters gave her an Handkerchief that I have Anointed (and by the Grace of God, I will Anoint your handkerchiefs tonight); she dropped it on the breast. Within three (3) weeks, Doctors don’t have explanation how a brand new breast grew.
Because there is a God who made you, if there is something missing, He can provide. And He is going to do so tonight (and while you are reading) in Jesus’ Name.
I have so many Testimonies I could give you, but I will give you just one. And then we pray about it.
One of my sons has a Factory where he makes soap. So one Saturday evening when he wanted to close; because he knew he wouldn’t be coming to work on Sunday, he decided to mix the chemicals that he use in making soap (ready for Monday). Everybody else had gone home, and he decided to do that. In the process of mixing these chemicals, he accidentally fell. And a bowl of acid fell on his face. He was in great pain, there was nobody around. And he was rolling on the ground.
But then somebody was passing by and saw the door of the Factory open, and said what happened, this man must have gone home by now. So the man went inside and saw him on the floor, and saw the damage that acid has done to his face. And rushed him to the hospital. When he got to the hospital; the doctors (after doing X ray) asked him and said: Sir, are you married? He said Yes; and I have a son, he is ten (10) years. Married with A boy of 10 years old? He said Yes, doctor why are you asking? He said, because you will never see again. Because the acid has eaten your eyeballs. My son said, thank you very much for your report. Would you please help me call a Taxi? So they brought him to the Camp. I’m telling you the truth when I saw him my Faith shook. But you know Pastors, we have to put up a bold face. I said, well my son, don’t mind the doctor. There is nothing that God cannot do (and which is true anyway). So I prayed for him.
… That is more than thirty (30) years ago. Today he is still reading without glasses.
PRAYER:
I want you to stand on your feet and cry to the Almighty God. And say Father; let Your Fire fall and make me Whole. Please open your mouth and cry to Him.
Thank You my Father. In Jesus Mighty Name we have prayed – Amen. So shall it be in Jesus’ Name – Amen. Please be seated.
Let me conclude; I said when the Fire Falls, it means God has come down. I told you at the beginning that I have no doubt about it that God is here. But do you know that God can come to a City and some people will not allow Him to come in. God can come to the door of somebody’s house and the fellow may not open the door for Him.
Revelation 3:20; God was speaking to a congregation of people who should know better, and said: “Behold, I stand at the door, and knock: if any man hear my voice, and open the door, I will come in to him, and will sup with him, and he with me.”
God is here tonight (and as you are reading); and from the moment I started speaking, He has been knocking at the door of the heart of somebody, saying: Open the door of your heart, let me come in, I want to dwell with you; I want to bless you, I want to put an end to your problems; Let me come in.
But some people say, if He is the Almighty God why must He knock at the door? Why doesn’t He force the door open into my life? I say: He is not an armed robber. He is a Gentleman.
As Mighty as He is, He will still seek your permission; let me come in, let me become your Lord. Let me become your Saviour. Let me take control of your life.
Ah, leave me alone, I want to enjoy my own life. I want to live my own way. He will knock, after some time He will leave. He is knocking at the heart of somebody today. And the reason He won’t force Himself in is that He knows that a day is coming when you leave this world, and you come to HIS OWN Door (in Heaven) and you knock, He will say: when you were in the world I knocked at your door, you didn’t open to me. And so I am not opening my own now.
… I will tell you one more story and then we will close.
STORY
I was sitting down in my Office (at the University of Lagos – Nigeria) several years ago trying to write a Term Paper. I had stated the problems, I had stated the method I was going to use to solve the problem. When suddenly I heard God say: Son, I want you to write to so, so person. Tell him I love him, tell him to surrender his life to me and I will forgive everything he had done in the past. Ask him to send for you so you can explain how he can be saved.
I wrote the letter. Before I said Lord, I don’t even know the address of this man. And He said, it doesn’t matter, just write Chief so, so, so! He is such a popular man in his Town. Just write Chief so, so’s house and post the letter. I did. By the third day, the letter has already landed (because an Angel guided the letter to his house). He read the letter, and sent his driver to go and tell me: Please wait, I will come and see you myself, don’t come.
He came! I explained to him, please Sir, surrender your life to Jesus, Jesus loves you so much and died for you. He said, ok I will go and think about it. Ok Sir! For two (2) years, every two (2) weeks I was pursuing him; Sir, give your life to Jesus before it is too late. He kept on saying: I will think about it. Then one day he fell sick, he had a massive stroke. You know, the kind of stroke that takes away the voice and so on. But before he became unconscious, he said to his people, send for Pastor Adeboye.
So they sent for me. By the time I got there he was in a comma. I cried to God: Almighty God please give him just one more chance. Let him come back, let me offer him an opportunity to give his life to Jesus. Please Lord. Within minutes, he was completely whole again. There was no trace of the stroke. So I said Chief, look at what God has done for you. Will you please surrender your life to Jesus Christ now? You know what he said? He said I will think about it. I never went to him again, because he lost his opportunity. Next thing I heard, he was dead.
Brother/Sister, you have this Golden opportunity till today. Only God knows if you will ever hear another Sermon like this. Would you please surrender your life to Jesus now? Because when you surrender your life to Him, everything will become new. But before you surrender your life to Him, you need to know: He is a Holy God, He will not tolerate sin. If you say am a Christian and you are still living in sin, you are deceiving yourself.
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:
So if you are here today (or reading now) and you know you are still living in sin and you want to surrender your life to Jesus; am going to count from one (1) to ten (10). Before I say ten (10); Come and stand before me, so I can pray for your Salvation. After I have prayed for your Salvation, then we can pray one more prayer and we will be on our way. So those of you who want to give your life to Jesus Christ, come now.
So am going to count from one (1)to ten (10). If by the time I say ten (10) you are not already standing before me, then I know you are not coming. Then we will continue with the Program. I have done my own part, and I will not be guilty of anybody’s blood.
Am counting now….. You might be the only one, don’t wait for anybody.
… Thank you those of you who are clapping. Your hands will never be empty – Amen.
Oh, Thank You Jesus. Glory be to Jesus. Thank You Father – Amen!
Now those of you who have come forward, talk to Jesus now. Say: I have come to surrender my life to You Lord Jesus, please save my soul. forgive all my sins, be my Saviour, I will do Your Will, I will serve You for the rest of my life: Talk to Him!
And the rest of us let’s stretch our hands to these our new brothers and disters, and intercede for them. Pray that the One who saved our souls will save their own souls also. Pray for them.
… If you are still coming, keep keep coming. Just make sure you are here before we finished praying for Salvation.
Thank You my Father, Glory be to God. In Jesus Mighty Name we have prayed – Amen.
PRAYER FOR SALVATION
Saviour I just want to say: Thank You for Your Words. Thank You for all these Your people that have come forward to surrender their lives to You. Please remember your Promise that whosoever will come unto You, You will in no wise cast out.
Save their souls, let Your Blood wash away their sins. Write their names in the “Book of Life”. And help them to serve You for ever. 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! Amen!
Now those of you who have come forward, I want to rejoice with you. I’m Promising you as a Man of God, that from now on by the Special Grace of God, I will be praying for you. So am going to need your names, your prayers requests as well as your address. They will compile it and give me a copy which I will take back with me to my Headquarters and I will be praying for you. Very soon you will be receiving some Miracles you have not even asked for. Then you will know there is somebody somewhere praying for you.
So they will give you a card, which I want you to fill very quickly (distribute the cards to them as quickly as possible).
Thank You Father, oh Thank you Lord.
… As soon as you finish filling the cards return them to the Counselors. And then you can go back to your seats.
Thank You Lord. Ok.
Now am going to give you five (5) minutes to ask God for something Special. Whatever is Special that you want God to do for you. Five (5) minutes, go ahead talk to the Almighty God.
… Let us begin to bring our prayers to a close.
Thank You Jesus; Thank You my Father. In Jesus Mighty Name we have prayed – Amen.
… Now I want you to stand on your feet and lift your hands high.
CLOSING PRAYER
My Father and my God I want to bless Your Holy Name. Ancient of Days, the Great Consuming Fire, I bless Your Name. You said in Your Words that if two (2) of us shall agree concerning ANYTHING we ask on Earth, that it will done for us by our Father in Heaven. Am agreeing with ALL these Your children: everything they have asked for, Lord give unto them.
No matter how difficult their requests may be; before the sun rises tomorrow let it become a Testimony. No matter how many things they have asked for; by the time the sun rises tomorrow, let everyone here (or reading) begin to sing a New Song.
Father, if there is anything they should have asked for that they forgot; because this is a Special Night, give it unto them all the same. Let their joy overflow. Bless them beyond measure. Don’t let them ever forget this Night. Thank You my Father!
Now if you have an Handkerchief that you want me to Anoint for you, you just lift it up. And when I wave my hands, the Power of the Holy Spirit will soak these pieces of clothes with Anointing. So that wherever you use it Miracles will begin to happen.
… Thank You Father! Are you ready?
PRAYING ON THE HANDKERCHIEFS:
Father in the Mighty Name of Jesus, ALL these pieces of clothes that have been lifted to You now, I hereby Decree: that the Anointing of the Holy Spirit will enter each one of them. So mightily that wherever each one is used, Yokes will be destroyed; Miracles will happen; the sick will be healed, the dead will be raised. And Your Name will be Glorified. And we will return all the Praise to You.
In Jesus Mighty Name we have prayed – AMEN!
… Well, lay it on your own head first, before you lay it in any one else. And just pray for yourself for just one (1) more minute.
Now with that Mantle on you, pray that in the Mighty Name of Jesus Christ, every yokes in your life be destroyed, that you are FREE! And you will begin to enjoy the Presence of the Almighty God like never before.
Thank You my Father, blessed be Your Holy Name. In Jesus. Mighty Name we have prayed – Amen.
Now let me hear a really BIG Hallelujah – HALLELUJAH!
Thank you so much for staying all through to read.
