Somebody say: Thank You Jesus!

“SINGS SHALL FOLLOW”.

… Signs shall follow you – Amen!

The Topic given to me is taken from St Mark Gospel Chapter 16; and because I’m speaking mainly to Students of the Bible, and Pastors. I assume that you know the content.

Something had happened, Jesus had risen from the dead. Three and halve (3½) years before now. After His baptism in water and His fasting. He was confronted by the devil: an OFFER was given to Him.

And the OFFER given to Him is this: I know what You have come for – it is to take the World (the kingdoms of the world).

He said, look at it all, according to Luke 4:5-6. He said but don’t let us struggle over this – if You just BOW to me and give me worship, ALL these Kingdoms and their Glory, and their Authorities shall be Yours!

And Jesus said: GET THEE BEHIND ME SATAN; ABOMINATION! Only GOD is to be Worshipped.

You want worship? You will never get it – not from ME!

And Satan said to himself: Well, am going.

The world has been delivered to me, and am not going to give it to YOU (if you don’t bow).

… And he LEFT!

Jesus proceeded and began to establish the Kingdom of God – preaching “REPENT! For the Kingdom of God is at hand”.

And He began to establish the Kingdom – Calling people to Repentance and to Faith in God, Healing the Sick, doing Miracles and Casting out devils!

And the MULTITUDES kept coming together.

… Coming together, Coming together. Thank You Holy Spirit.

And Jesus did so much – that the Kingdom of Darkness was provoked. And finally, they decided to kill Jesus.

Jesus warned His Disciples severally, that He would be killed and encouraged them that, that will not be the end. That He will only spend three (3) says and three (3) nights away. And He will be BACK!

But the Disciples did not understand.

So true to His words: He was arrested, and put to death. His Body was Graciously released by Pilate to Joseph of Arimathaea and He was buried.

But after three (3) days and three (3) nights in the belly of the Earth; the unexpected happened; the unimaginable happened – Jesus Christ ROSE from the dead!

And it was this Triumphant Resurrection that led to this Statement.

The Disciples were divided: Some believed and some did not believe, until He came to them.

He gave them “Incontrovertible Proof” that He is the same person that was crucified, that has RISEN from the dead.

And after He told them, He said: now that you have every assurance that I AM the same Person; it’s time to take over the world!

So He told them in Mark 16:15-16:

15 And he said unto them, Go ye into all the world, and preach the gospel to every creature.

16 He that believeth and is baptized shall be saved; but he that believeth not shall be damned.

Believe in What?

Those who believed that Jesus Christ is the Son of God; those who believed that Jesus Christ took away their sins and that it was because of sins that He DIED!

Those who believed that Triumph over sin, over death and over hell and He ROSE from the dead:

… These Signs shall follow them!

So if you are a Believer, can you stand on your feet. If you do believed that Jesus Christ is the Son of the “Living God” and that He took your sins away and died on the Cross and He rose again from the dead – So do you believe?

Say after me: “I do believed that Jesus Christ is the Son of the “Living God”. He took over my sins and paid the price for my sins. He died because of me on the cross and was BURIED. He Triumphed over sin, over death, over Satan and over hell and rose from the dead.

Since I am a Believer – according to what God has said and according to what Jesus said then: “THESE signs shall Follow me” –

In the Name of Jesus, I will cast out devils. In the Name of Jesus, I will continually Speak in Tongues. In the Name of Jesus, I will take up serpents and if I drink any deadly thing, it shall not hurt me. I shall lay my hands on the sick and the sick shall recover.

Thank You Father; I am a Believer. And these SIGNS are following me – Amen, Amen and AMEN!”

You may be seated!

Look behind you – What can you see? What can you see?

Tell yourself: the Signs are following me!

That suggests, that you are also going!

The SIGNS are to follow those who are OBEYING the Instruction – “Go Ye into all the world” – don’t just sit down!

The Signs are not guaranteed to follow those who SIT.

When you look at Matthew Gospel, the same period Jesus said to the Disciples – “All Authority in Heaven and on Earth has been given to ME” (that’s why He said “GO”).

He said therefore, because I have received all Authority both in Heaven and on Earth – “GO” therefore!

How is it that this Man that was offered the Authorities over kingdom of the EARTH three and half (3½) years ago (on the condition of worshiping Satan now turns around after His Resurrection and said:

“All Authority in Heaven, on Earth…”

That means something happened!

He must have taken over the Authority of the Kingdoms of the Earth from the devil. And that is why Jesus could boldly say: Not only the Authority of the Rarth but the Authority in Heaven.

I have Good News for you: We can enter wherever we want to enter. We can take over! But we must “GO IN THAT NAME!”

If you further go down in the reading in Mark 16:19-20:

1. So then after the Lord had spoken unto them, he was received up into Heaven, and sat on the right hand of God (where He’s still sitting now).
2. And they went forth, and preached every where,

… I am re-establishing it: that for you to see Signs and Wonders, you must “GO FORTH”!

… the Lord working with them, and confirming the Word with SIGNS Following.

So the Lord will go with you, the Lord will work with you, the Lord will confirm what He has said with Signs and Wonders following you.

Let me hear three (3) Powerful Amen – Amen, Amen, AMEN!

AND WHAT TO PREACH?

In Luke 24:47: “And that repentance and remission of sins should be preached in His Name among all nations, beginning at Jerusalem.”

… Repentance from sin and Forgiveness from sin.

Any Religion that cannot provide Forgiveness for you cannot take you to Heaven. Any Religion that cannot save you from sin cannot take you to Heaven!

AND HOW DO YOU KNOW A RELIGION THAT CANNOT SAVE YOU FROM SIN?

1. It CANNOT break the Power of sinful habits.
2. It has no Assurance of Salvation. It tells you that when you die, then God will weigh your Good Works and check it against your Bad Works. And then maybe you will make it.

Listen, the wages of sin is DEATH!

1. Any Religion that has no Solution to Death and Sin; cannot save you.

ONLY JESUS HAS SOLUTION – WHY?

1. Jesus is the Only Man that lived for as long as thirty three (33) years (on Earth) and did not commit a single sin.
2. Jesus is the Only Man that ever opened His mouth to forgive the sins of people.
3. Jesus is the Only Man qualified to give His Life as Sacrifice – offering His Blood for the removal of our sins.
4. Jesus’ Blood is the only POWER that stops the devil.
5. Jesus is the Only Power that has ever come on Earth and harassed the devil and cast out devil.

All other Religions; they offer sacrifice to devil.

Jesus is the Only Man that cast them out. And also gave Authority to cast them out!

1. Jesus is the Only Name that causes demons to tremble.
2. Jesus is the Only Man that treats death as sleep and wake people from dead, as if He is waking them up from sleep.
3. Jesus is the Only Man that said He would die, how He will die and how long He would be dead. And said it categorically – that He will “Rise Again”!
4. Jesus is the Only One that ever opened the grave, and brought out the dead and displayed them in Jerusalem.

If you don’t preach Jesus; there is no Hope for the world!

All other gods, they are liars. All other gods they are impostors. All other Religion have no answer to sin, to death and to devil.

But Jesus said: in my Name: “YOU WILL CAST OUT DEVILS!”

Somebody Shout Jesus – JESUS!

We must not fail. The world has no Hope without Jesus Christ.

And Jesus said we should “GO and preach Repentance and preach forgiveness of sin!”

Meaning, you will no longer be condemned – because your sins are forgiven.

Brethren, for us to effectively discharge this duty, He said: I will be with you all the WAY. I will not leave you to go alone!

Then the concluding part of that verse 20 said: “…and the Lord went WITH them.”

That brings us to the Acts of Apostles – He went with them.

They got filled in the Holy Ghost in Chapter 2 (like you have gotten filled).

Peter Preached his first Sermon and in Acts 2:37; he made the Harvest. He ordered them to repent and three thousand (3,000) people repented.

Chapter 3 – the Lord still going with them at the Gate called Beautiful: The Lame was RAISED.

That man had been sitting at the Gate called Beautiful. He had been sitting at that Gate before Jesus Christ was born. Jesus Christ passed through that Gate but did not attend to him.

But on this day (after Jesus Christ had gone to heaven); He followed Peter to the Gate and He attended to the man.

Peter said: Silver and Gold, I do not have (in Acts 3:1-8), and he said: but what I have I give you – In the Name of Jesus Christ of Nazareth; “RISE UP AND WALK!”

And Peter turned like this: “Jesus I know You are here”. He held the man and the man stood up! Then they looked at him and said, in what POWER have you done this?

He said: let it be known – that I, Peter did not do this. I Peter did not do this! But that Jesus Christ whom you Crucified, whom you rejected – He has made this man well!

Everywhere you go – the Lord will “GO WITH YOU!” He will confirm His Words with SIGNS FOLLOWING!

“The Lord working with them and confirming His Word with Signs following…”

The Leaders became furious and decided to arrest Peter and John and queried them – to know the Secret of their POWER. And they said: JESUS CHRIST!

They threatened them but they went back and Prayed!

When they threaten you; go back and PRAY!

And Jesus Christ gave them “More POWER”.

Then by the Chapter 5 of Acts of Apostle; The MULTITUDES began to troupe out from outside Jerusalem. And the Leaders became embarrassed! And they arrested them again. They said: didn’t we tell you not to Preach in this Name again? And they flogged them!

And Peter said: We have one Assurance – We will continue to preach in THAT NAME!

… And there were “MORE MIRACLES” until the Priests themselves began to turn to Jesus Christ.

We will take over the WORLD! Satan has lost control of the world. We will take OVER – Iron sharpens iron!

So for you to MANIFEST these Signs – WHAT DO YOU NEED?

1. You need to believe that what Jesus Christ said is True – as He had SAID IT!

In 1977 when I shared this Scriptures and told all the New Converts that they were going to receive the Holy Spirit and Heal the sick. One of my Superior Pastors looked at me – “he said: Joseph, you are taking this Doctrine too far”.

So he refused to mind me.

When the Power of God was released and the people were Anointed; I ordered them to start Healing the sick; and there was INSTANT Results.

He said: Joseph is very LUCKY today! If nothing had happened, I would have lambasted him for his false Doctrine.

It is those who believe ONLY, that will see what Jesus Christ Says.

So stop sitting on the edge!

Do you believe Jesus Christ as He says concerning you? – These SIGNS are following you?

… Then Go and Preach!

So for you to Manifest these Signs:

1. Believe what Jesus Christ has Said.
2. Say what Jesus Christ Said out of your own conviction.

What you believe now Say it and start telling yourself – “These Signs are following ME!’

1. “Act Out” what you are Saying.
2. Refuse to DOUBT – to think otherwise.
3. REAFFIRM always that you have these Signs following you.
4. Jesus Christ will make them to happen.

… You have the ROLE – Nos.1 to 5 is your business; but No. 6 is Jesus’ Christ Business.

He has not failed me in over forty (40) years. Every time we call His Name – He shows up!

… Jesus Christ will “SHOW UP” for you.

HOW CAN YOU KEEP THIS POWER – after God has released it to you?

1. STAY Holy, Stay under the Blood!

Don’t be like Samson – he was going in and out!

Every time Samson went to the Territory of Philistines; he ate unclean, touched unclean, tasted unclean, lived unclean.

It is dangerous to carry this POWER and be eating unclean – Ah! You will be destroyed!

Anyone who loves unclean and also wants to keep this Power; will destroy himself. If you want to keep this Power stay under the Blood.

Any Hebrew that went out (on the Passover Night) under the covering of The Blood got Hit!

If you have confessed your sins, and you have been cleansed by the Blood Jesus; then STAY under the Blood. Don’t go out to pick the sin again – STAY HOLY!

If you take this Instruction to heart, then I will do what the Spirit has laid on me.

What I’m going to do is nothing New. But just to release the Fire of God. That, that which God has deposited in you will begin to Manifest.

Now, if you don’t believe me at all, don’t bother!

But if you believe that you want to carry something Extra, and you are really ready to go and Preach the Gospel -Assistant Pastors (you want to Preach the Gospel with Special Anointing) – COME OUT!

You want to Preach the Gospel with Fresh Anointing, I say COME OUT!

And if you don’t believe, DON’T COME!

Alright, stay there! That’s ok – Just stay there.

POWER is coming to you Now, Now; Now!!!

… But it is Power to Preach (with Signs following).

Now Power is coming on you.

NOW listen to me – Do you make a Covenant with God that you will stay Holy?

Hello! Are you hearing me?

Listen to me (don’t pray) – Listen to me:

… You are to receive and not to pray – I didn’t call you to come and pray.

1. Do you Promise God that you will Oreach the Gospel?

Say: Lord I Promise you before this Congregation and at this Altar – “I will Preach the Gospel”.

1. Do you Oromise God that you will stay away from sin?

Say Father; I Oromise You (by Your Special Grace) I will stay away from sin and live on the covering of Your Blood 24/7; all the days of my life in the Name of Jesus Christ.

1. Do you believe that what Jesus Christ said concerning you is True?

The Bible says: “… Believe the Lord your God you will be established; believe His Prophet you will Prosper”;

1. Do you believed me that this Power will fall on you NOW?

What Power is it?

You have to be Specific: Power to Heal the Sick? NO!

Which Power? Power to Preach the Gospel? – So that sinners will repent?

Which Power? Power to Cast out devils?

… OK mention the Power you want before I PRAY!

In Jesus’ Name we PRAY – Amen.

Have you made your demand? Have you asked God? Then you need to make a Conclusion.

Jairus said: Come and lay Your hands on my daughter; she will not die – she will live.

“… Come and Lay Your hands” is a DEMAND. “She will Live” is a CONCLUSION!

Did you hear me? The woman with the issue of Blood said: if I just TOUCH the helm of His garment – I will be whole.

“..Touching Him” is a DEMAND; “… I will be whole” is a CONCLUSION.

Now I want you to make a CONCLUSION – that place where you are standing NOW, the Power of God will fall on you!

So make your Conclusion: say Father, Your Power is falling on me right here! My heart is open – I am receiving Your Power RIGHT HERE!

… In Jesus Name RECEIVE!

Now, you have finished your prayer: lift up your hands, see yourself receiving. The Fire is going to FALL.

PRAYER BY REV OLAIYA:

My Father, my FATHER; As You sent me, and what You said to me – they have made their Covenant to stay Holy. They have made their Covenant to stay under the covering of the Blood. They have made their Covenant to Preach!

FIRE FALL!!!! – Power to heal the sick, to cast out devils, to set Captives Free, to Preach the Gospel with boldness, to bring sinners to the Kingdom.

… RECEIVE THE FIRE (the Fire falling). RECEIVE THE FIRE!!!!!

From NOW: Signs will follow you – Signs and wonders will follow you.

SINGS will follow you!

And you will give all the Glory to God.

In Jesus’ Name!
