OPENING PRAYER

Father in Heaven we Thank You for the great things that You have done to IGNITE us for this now! And to empower the Now Generation. We appreciate You for all the Great Men of God, Men in Politics, Men in the Finance World. We want to say Thank You Father. Lord accept our Thanks in the Name of Jesus!

As we wrap up this particular IGNITE, we ask oh God that You, who can do ALL things; in the lives of all the people who are watching (or reading) across the Globe, that which God Himself can do: You will do, in the Name of Jesus Christ!

I pray that the little things that I need to say, King of Glory, just to wrap it up Lord: Holy Ghost You will breathe upon it in the Name of Jesus!

And we pray Lord, everyone that will make a decision to follow Jesus Christ, and to follow their future, to follow their destiny to the Now, You will empower and encourage them, in the Name of Jesus!

Holy Ghost, it’s Your business; take it over, and get the Glory. Thank You Eternal Father; in Jesus Mighty Name we Pray – Amen!

… And let someone say, Amen – Amen!

Please take your seat!

I want to bless the Name of the Lord for all the Great Men and Great People of God that have spoken. When all of them had said what they need to say, I just thought: I don’t need to say nothing again, but I want to read (just to wrap it up) because: To “Own the Future”, there are certain tools you require to IGNITE that future.

So am going to say two (2) or three (3) things on that. But let me read from the Bible certain Scriptures, I will just read them.

Now, in Ecclesiastes 12:13; it says: “Let us hear the conclusion of the whole matter: Fear God, and keep His commandments: for this is the whole duty of man.”

Now, this man that wrote here, was the same man that wrote Ecclesiastes 9:1, which says: “I returned, and saw under the sun, that the race is not to the swift, nor the battle to the strong, neither yet bread to the wise, nor yet riches to men of understanding, nor yet favour to men of skill; but time and chance happeneth to them all.”

And I like what Paul said, because Solomon and Paul happen to be people of Wisdom. And I need to read that, because after that, I wikl just do what I need to do!

Now, in Romans 9:16, it says: “So then it is not of him that willeth, nor of him that runneth, but of God that sheweth Mercy.”

This same Paul in 1 Corinthians 3:5-8; this man said: “I have planted, Apollos watered; but God gave the increase.”

HOW DO WE OWN THE FUTURE?

They have talked about: you can own the future, you can do this. But how do you (as individual)? How do you own it?

Many of the Men who have spoken have alluded to some of it; but let me RE-ECHO it, in other to do some conclusion

1. You need to get CONNECTED to your Maker.

Nobody beats his father, nobody determined to be on the earth. God made a Plan to bring you here. And so this same God said in the Book of Jeremiah 29:11; He said: “For I know the thoughts that I think towards you, saith the LORD, thoughts of Peace, and not of evil, to give you an expected end.”

How do I own the future?

Get CONNECTED to the Maker of your life.

You came into the world as a Solution, you cannot be part of the Problem. You came as an ANSWER, don’t be the Question!

Now, you came here, loaded with pregnancy, that you need to deliver to improve the world you live in. If you leave the world the way you met it (I heard Fela Durotoye taught it) you have failed Divinity!

It’s not just Singing, it’s not just Praying, it’s not just Fasting; there are things you need to actualize. I don’t know whether it is grammatically correct, but if it is not correct: it is common sense Physically, Spiritually CORRECT!

Now, there are some things you need to actualize; get yourself connected to your Maker.

The Bible said, Jesus was talking to His Disciples. You will enjoy it if you read from John 15:1-5; but in verse 5, Jesus Himself said: “I am the vine, ye are the branches: He that abideth in me, and I in him, the same bringeth forth much fruit: for without me ye can do nothing.”

There is an engine that help you to fulfill Purpose. There is an engine that help you to be able to do Creative things. There is an engine that make you be like your Maker.

People have heard me saying: “God is not the only Creator, God is the FIRST CREATOR; you are also a Creator”

… Whatsoever you don’t see around, you can create it.

But except you link with Him; you are not just like any person, you are like GOD!

He made you as Himself: and what God can do, you have thee Capacity to do it! You are capable of doing what God is able to do.

If He called the Light into existence, why will you be living in darkness? If He called those things that be not as if they were; why will you go without getting all your needs met?

So, the first thing you need to IGNITE and to own the future is to get yourself CONNECTED TO GOD!

… Tap three (3) neighbours and say: GET CONNECTED!

And that’s why many people may have been here since morning, they have been listening (reading now), and they are yet to get connected to Him.

In another few minutes, I will call you to make a decision. That was what I made, that made the difference (few years ago). And God is still doing it.

1. You need to BELIEVE the BLUEPRINTS of HIM who made you.

There is something that you are configured to do in life; you are not configured to do everything. There are certain things you are configured to do, and only you can do it.

I’m not a Forensic; but those people who studied Science of Fingerprints said: “Your Fingerprint is uniquely different”.

So it means there is a Unique Contribution that you have for this Generation. There is a Unique Solution that you carry for the Problem!

Oh, everybody talk about the Problem. But you should talk about Solution. You need to BELIEVE those Blueprints that He has for your life. And God has got a wide Plan for you; when you search the pages of Scripture.

I like what that young Man (B. Daniel) said: “When you search the pages of the Scriptures; you don’t need to go anywhere to look for what you are looking for”. It’s THERE!

You are dodging, because everything you search in the Scriptures is that you might enjoy it.

Mordecai was a Gateman, he became the Prime Minister.

How could that happen?

Because he BELIEVED the Promise of God.

This man called Joseph, he BELIEVED the Blueprint of God. One day they moved him from prison, he became a Prime Minister.

David, the son of a Concubine was moved one day. Prophet Samuel said, in that 1 Samuel 16:1-12; He said: We are not going to sit down until this man comes in.

… And the people didn’t sit down, until he was promoted.

I pray for someone hearing my voice in all the Centre – Ibadan, Lagos, Port Harcourt, Warri, Abuja and wherever they are reading; May the Good God, the Power of God, the Holy Spirit right away, IGNITE your destiny for fulfilment in the Name of Jesus Christ! Every blueprint of God for your life will come to fulfilment in the Name of Jesus – Amen!

… Seat down, I have two (2) minutes to go.

Even Joseph said to his brothers, check out for me (I don’t want to misquote); “But as for you, ye thought evil against me; but God meant it unto good, to bring to pass, as it is this day, to save much people alive.”

Even when your enemies do things to your life, they are actually Promoting you unknowingly.

I use to pray a Prayer everyday: Oh God, let my enemies promote me unknowingly.

What happened to Obededom?

Obededom was a gateman. They were looking for somebody to kill and so they said, there is a gateman over there; put the Ark of Covenant in his house and let him die.

But in three (3) months, the King became envious.

Everyone belittling you, who thought you cannot amount to anything; this year alone (2019), they will come and bow to you – Amen!

… You must BELIEVE the Blueprints of God!

And lastly, and that’s where I will end, because we need to wrap it up now.

1. You must CALL ON GOD that OWNS your future (2ce).

“And he spake a parable unto them to this end, that men ought always to pray, and not to faint;”

Matthew 7:7-8, He said ASK and you will receive. And in John 14:13-14; He said, anything you ask in my Name. He now reemphasized it in verse 14; He said, “If ye shall ask any thing in my name, I will do it.”

Many of us, we cheat ourselves. Many of us, we think we can handle the issues of our life with our knowledge. Thank God for Political knowledge, Economic knowledge. Thank God for Theology. But there are Powers that make those things work. In fact, there is a core Power that makes it work.

Power of asking God.

Everyone that asked Him, God has never denied them. Anyone! Even in a critical situation.

They told a man in the Bible, his name is called Jabez. In 1 Chronicles 4:9-10; the boy in verse 10 asked the Lord. And God said, you are right!

Now, the man called Jacob was a defrauder, he we running. But in Genesis 32:24-28; he wrestled with God (2ce).

ALTAR CALL

I want to beseech everybody in all the Centres (or reading); because we have come to the core of the matter. That even now (those who have been listening/reading since morning).

You are yet to give your life to Jesus Christ, or you have given your life before but you messed it up (and there is tenable reason) good reason to mess it up: somebody disappointed you, you felt God disappointed you. It’s a time for us to wrap it up.

… What they asked me to come and do basically is to Pray. But I cannot Pray without chipping in the Words of God.

So wherever you are in that Centres (or reading) as we bow our head to pray: in Ibadan, in Lagos, in Warri, in Port Harcourt. ABUJA! wherever you are, I want you to lift your hands up; give your life or you want to rededicate your life. I want to say a Word of Prayer over you. And after that, am going to do a thing that God asked me to do.

Thank you, I could see hands in Port Harcourt here (please all our Leaders in various Centre). Please encourage the people there who are raising up their hands. I’m about to Pray for them in a short while. And after that, I need to do something that God wants us to do.

I can assure you; one of our Speakers has Prophesied that this 2019 IGNITE is Ushering some people into their: wide, unending and un-attacked Destiny. And am believing God, even me who has come as a Participant, I don’t want to remain on the same level.

So wherever you are, and you fall into that category, raise that hands up! And please people at the Centre: Abuja, Ibadan, Warri, Lagos and here in Port Harcourt. Now raise up your hands, I will stretch forth my hands and say a Word over you, and do the next thing to do.

PRAYER FOR SALVATION:

Oh Lord, I like to Thank You for these hands that are lifted. They are lifted to Jesus. These are the Now Leaders; these are the Now Solutions; these are the Now Answers.

Every hands lifted, I pray by the Power of the Blood that, that hands you lifted up shall be washed; that your life shall be washed by the Blood; in the Name of Jesus.

Every little fox and all little foxes that is destroying your Vine shall be totally removed, in the Name of Jesus Christ!

All the hands lifted up, I pray that the Holy Ghost will energize your life for Victory! The Holy Ghost will IGNITE your life for Fulfilment of destiny and Purpose. The Holy Ghost IGNITE your life to be Victorious. The Holy Ghost will IGNITE your life for Wisdom. The Holy Ghost will IGNITE your life for Superlative Invention. The Holy Ghost will IGNITE your life for you to March into Victory in the midst of opposition, in the Name of Jesus!

I ask that from this day, may the Lord opens a Good a New Chapter for your life, in the Name of Jesus! And I ask oh God, that the 2019 IGNITE you Promised the Leadership when we were praying, that it will Usher some people into a New Dimension of Good Destiny. Let it happen in the Name of Jesus!

Thank You Lord! And everyone saying Amen (in all the Centres or reading) iniquity will not be found in your tents. Together, God will take us, and make us, and help us, and carry us and allow us into His Kingdom at the end of the day; in the Name of Jesus Christ.

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

Now, hold the hands of your neighbour (in every centre), am about to do what God asked me to do.

… Now those who have raised up their hands in all the Centres (please take a paper) because you are Specially Blessed, your names will be submitted to our Daddy, Pastor E.A. Adeboye. And he has assured that he will be praying Specially for you people.

… So get their names, address and prayer request.

Now, I want you to Prophesy for one (1) minute and I will pray for one (1) minute before I drop the microphone.

Pray one (1) minute: This person am holding, IGNITE his/her Destiny, IGNITE his/her Blessing, IGNITE his/her Success, IGNITE his/her Stardom, IGNITE (oh God) every Good Things around him/her, in the Name of Jesus.

In Jesus MIGHTY Name we Pray – Amen!
