BIBLE TEXT: LUKE 5:1-7
While you are opening your Scripture, I want you to know that this your Parish is situated on a very Special Holy Ground – This is where we started from. And as at the time we came here, the whole surrounding was a jungle. But now by the Grace of God, from nothing, God has created something
… And I believe God for your life that from now on there will be Dramatic change for the better in Jesus name – Amen!
LUKE 5:1-7
1 And it came to pass, that, as the people pressed upon him to hear the word of God, he stood by the lake of Gennesaret,
2 And saw two ships standing by the lake: but the fishermen were gone out of them, and were washing their nets.
3 And he entered into one of the ships, which was Simon’s, and prayed him that he would thrust out a little from the land. And he sat down, and taught the people out of the ship.
4 Now when he had left speaking, he said unto Simon, Launch out into the deep, and let down your nets for a draught.
5 And Simon answering said unto him, Master, we have toiled all the night, and have taken nothing: nevertheless at thy word I will let down the net.
6 And when they had this done, they inclosed a great multitude of fishes: and their net brake.
7 And they beckoned unto their partners, which were in the other ship, that they should come and help them. And they came, and filled both the ships, so that they began to sink.
I just want to talk to you in the next few minutes on: “WHAT HAPPENS WHEN GOD PAYS YOU A VISIT”.
… Because I believe God is paying somebody a visit today – Amen!
There are many Churches on this Camp Ground but you are the ones that God choose for today. That means that there must be somebody here whose Miracle(s) cannot wait till tomorrow.
… If you are the one let me hear you shout Hallelujah – Hallelujah!
There are many lessons we could learn from this story we read, but I will just mention three (3) very quickly. Because I actually came here to pray for you: the Sermon is something EXTRA!
- The moment God steps into the boat of your life; “HE DRIVES AWAY SICKNESS.”
Not just that, from the day that Jesus stepped into the boat of Peter, Peter was never sick again because if he were sick, they would have recorded it for us. But He brought healing not only to Peter but to his family.
Because if you read Matthew 8:14-17:
14 And when Jesus was come into Peter’s house, he saw his wife’s mother laid, and sick of a fever.
15 And he touched her hand, and the fever left her: and she arose, and ministered unto them.
16 When the even was come, they brought unto him many that were possessed with devils: and he cast out the spirits with his word, and healed all that were sick:
17 That it might be fulfilled which was spoken by Esaias the prophet, saying, Himself took our infirmities, and bare our sicknesses.
The Bible tells us that when Jesus followed Peter to his house and the mother in-law was sick of fever; the Lord touched her and she was made whole.
In other words, if Jesus steps into the boat of your life, you are not just going to be free from sickness; every members of your family will be free also.
I am believing God for someone here today, that because of this particular “Divine Visitation” both you and every members of your family, will never know sickness again – Amen!
- The second thing that will happen when God pays you a visit as you can learn from the life of Peter, is that it will not be long before you have “SOMETHING THAT MONEY CANNOT BUY.”
Yes, when Jesus came into the boat, Peter must have been glad when he, all of a sudden saw fishes upon fishes, upon fishes coming into the boat. But if you read the story up to verse 11, the Bible says; he FORSOOK ALL and followed Jesus.
… He never even sold the fish he caught that day, so you will wonder how come?
Jesus comes into your boat, suddenly you have a Major Breakthrough, and now you even left the Breakthrough aside. It was because there is something much more precious than money, as you would discover in Act 3:1-8;
1 Now Peter and John went up together into the temple at the hour of prayer, being the ninth hour.
2 And a certain man lame from his mother’s womb was carried, whom they laid daily at the gate of the temple which is called Beautiful, to ask alms of them that entered into the temple;
3 Who seeing Peter and John about to go into the temple asked an alms.
4 And Peter, fastening his eyes upon him with John, said, Look on us.
5 And he gave heed unto them, expecting to receive something of them.
6 Then Peter said, Silver and gold have I none; but such as I have give I thee: In the name of Jesus Christ of Nazareth rise up and walk.
7 And he took him by the right hand, and lifted him up: and immediately his feet and ankle bones received strength.
8 And he leaping up stood, and walked, and entered with them into the temple, walking, and leaping, and praising God.
When Peter and John were going to the Temple to worship, they saw a man who was lame from birth and he was there begging, and he asked Peter and John for money, Peter said to him: “Silver and Gold have I none, but what I have, I give unto you – In the Name of Jesus Christ of Nazareth, Rise Up and Begin to walk!
He said: I don’t have money, but I have something MONEY CANNOT BUY: I have Anointing that can destroy yokes, I have the ability to make the lame walk, I have the ability to perform Miracles, Signs and Wonders in the Name of Jesus.
… And the lame man got up. And after he grabbed him by the hand: he began to leap and to jump up, and to praise God.
My prayer for you today and for everyone of you is that from today onward, the ability to perform Miracles, the Almighty God will give unto you – Amen!
But Peter went on from there to Act 5:14-16;
14 And believers were the more added to the Lord, multitudes both of men and women.
15 Insomuch that they brought forth the sick into the streets, and laid them on beds and couches, that at the least the shadow of Peter passing by might overshadow some of them.
16 There came also a multitude out of the cities round about unto Jerusalem, bringing sick folks, and them which were vexed with unclean spirits: and they were healed every one.
The bible said that while God was performing Special Miracles by the hands of the other Apostles – through Peter, the SHADOW ALONE was healing the sick.
I once asked my children when they were still young (two young boys) I said: suppose somebody placed on one side of the table Ten million dollars ($10M) and he put on the other side, the ability to heal the sick, ability to make the blind see, ability to make the lame work, ability to raise the dead.
I said which one will you choose (they were very young)?
Without hesitation, both of them said: “THE ABILITY TO RAISE THE DEAD.”
I pray for everyone of you today; that thing that money cannot buy; that Anointing, that Power that God only can give, you will receive yours today in Jesus Name – Amen!
- And the third thing (and with this one I am closing) that happened to Peter because of that Divine Visitation is that in the time of trouble, in the time of his greatest trouble; Jesus Christ told him: “DON’T WORRY, YOU WILL OVERCOME BECAUSE I HAVE PRAYED FOR YOU.”
Luke 22:31-32,
- And the Lord said, Simon, Simon, behold, Satan hath desired to have you, that he may sift you as wheat:
- But I have prayed for thee, that thy faith fail not: and when thou art converted, strengthen thy brethren.
Jesus Christ said: Simon, Simon; Satan wants to have you.
In other words, Satan has focused his attention on Peter, that this one, I must have this one. But Jesus Christ said: “DON’T WORRY, I HAVE PRAYED FOR YOU!”
Oh, I wish above all things for those of you who are here this morning (or reading); the Almighty Jesus will pray for you – Amen!
You see, when you pray Jesus Christ said: if you ask anything in my Name, I will do it.
But you find several other conditions attached to your prayers being answered:
One is to seek the Lord when He will be found, call on Him when He is near. The hands of the Lord is not shortened that He cannot save, neither are His ears heavy that He cannot hear. But your sin can separate you from your God.
So when you go to pray and in the mind of almost everybody there is an element of doubt: Is God hearing me? Is He going to answer me?
But when Jesus prays for you; there is no doubt at all that your prayers will be answered.
The General Overseer may pray, and the answer may not come immediately, but when Jesus prays for you, the answer will Come instantly.
Therefore, today in the Name that is above every other names; Jesus will pray for someone – Amen!
So He pays you a visit: He drives away Sickness from you and your family. When He pays you a visit, He gives you something Money cannot buy. When He pays you a visit then you are qualified for Divine Prayer.
In conclusion; you need to know before you go to pray now and say God, if you are visiting two (2) people here today, let me be one of them.
Before you pray that prayer, you need to understand that when Jesus comes into the boat of your life, He takes over. He begins to command, He begins to operate as the Owner of the boat. He came into the boat of Peter and said: “move away from the shore.”
Read the story very well; He didn’t begin to say: ‘I want to borrow your boat, how much am I going to pay?” He just came in and as soon as He came in, He began to command the owner of the boat – move into the deep and cast your net to the right. Do this, do that.
The moment you allowed Jesus to come into your boat, He takes over.
And so, if you are not willing to surrender completely to Him then you don’t ask Him to come into your boat. Because once He comes in, He will become the Lord.
He came into my life and He changed everything – I had my own Plans, I had my own Ambitions, I had my own Programmes but He changed everything!
It is because He changed everything, that is why you are even here today. Because if He didn’t change everything, how can anybody in his own common sense (as my friend will say) will come and live in the jungle?
It is not the Camp that you see now that was then. This place used to be the Headquarters of highway robbers.
… You left Lagos (in Nigeria), you say you want to come and live in the headquarters of Satan?
This place where you are now, I have told you the story of trees here; that inside the tree you hear people pounding yam. Inside the trees you will hear people holding Cult Meetings, on this camp Ground.
Somewhere a little to my right hand there, there was a tree there. When I went out at night, fire was burning on top of the tree. So I thought maybe it is our people who are preparing, they forgot to put off the fire. When I woke up in the morning, I saw that there was nothing on the tree, green leaves (but I saw the fire with my own eyes). But when I woke up and I called those who were here with me, I saw something strange here!
One of the carpenters said; we were afraid to tell you, we have been seeing it all along. And so I said, we must cut down this tree. As we started cutting the tree, some people came from the village and they said, if you cut down this tree, it will get up by tomorrow and everyone of you that did the cutting will be dead. I told them, I said fine, let’s find out if it will come up. I told my children to go and cut the tree down, in the Mighty Name of Jesus.
We cut it down and of course it never came up!
But this is where we were. We came here because when He comes into your life, He takes over. You obey all commands: Wherever He asks you to go you go, whatever He asks you to do you do. When He asks you to sit down, you sit down. When He asks you to stand up, you stand up.
… So you must understand that Peter said: AT THY WORD!
… If you are inviting Him to your life from now on, everything you do will be AT HIS WORDS.
ALTAR CALL:
And so before we pray, if there is anyone here who has not surrendered his or her life to Jesus, or you thought you did, but you didn’t know what it meant, and now am telling you what it means. You invite Him to your life, it means you are saying bye bye to sin.
If you want to give your life to Jesus Christ, I am going to count from one (1) to four (4), before I say four (4) come and stand before me. If I said four (4) and nobody comes, then I know that we must all be Born Again, and then we will go ahead to pray.
So if you want to give your life to Jesus Christ, come now. Am counting.
Ok! Thank you very much.
Now those of you who have come forward talk to the Lord now and say I have come to surrender my life to You today, no more joking. Am going to do Your Will from now on. Please save my soul, be my Saviour, be my Lord.
The rest of us, please let’s stretch forth our hands to our new brothers and sisters and intercede for them. Pray that the One who saved your soul, will save their souls also. Pray for them that their Salvation will be Genuine. Pray for them for one (1) minute and then we will pray.
Thank you Father, in Jesus Mighty Name we have Prayed – Amen.
PRAYER FOR SALVATION:
Saviour I want to say Thank You for Your Words. I want to say Thank You for this people who have come forward to surrender their lives to You. Father please remember Your Promise that whosoever would come unto You, You will in no wise cast out. They have come unto You now, Father please receive them in Jesus name, save their souls, let Your Blood wash away their sins, write their names in the “Book of Life”. And from now on, anytime they call on You, answer them by Fire.
In Jesus Mighty Name we have Prayed – Amen.
Now we want to rejoice with those of you who have come forward today. I want to Promise you from now on, I will be praying for you. So am going to need your names, your address and your prayer requests, and I Promise you I will be praying for you.
But I want you to stay where you are for now because I want you to join the rest of us in Prayer.
The rest of you, are you ready to Pray?
Do you believe that God will answer you today?
Then let me hear you shout Hallelujah – Hallelujah!
CLOSING PRAYER:
I want you to lift your voices now to the Almighty God loud and clear and say: Father, if You are visiting two (2) people here today, please let me be one (1) of them.
Go ahead and talk to the Almighty God.
Talk to the Almighty God: if You are visiting two (2) people here today, please let me be one (1) of them; let me be one (1) of them!
Thank you so much for staying all through to read.
