Praise His Holy Name. Let us give Him Glory. Let us give Him Honour. Let us Worship the Ancient of Days; The I Am That I Am; The Great Provider.

Let us bless His Holy Name. Let us give Him Glory. Let us Worship Him. Let us Adore Him. He is Worthy to be Praised. Glory be to Your Holy Name. Thank You Lord.

In Jesus Name we have Prayed – Amen!

SONG:

You are Worthy to be Praised; (2ce)
My Redeemer;
You are Worthy to be Praised. (Repeated)

OPENING PRAYER:

The All Sufficient God; Jehovah El-Shaddai Himself, we Worship You this morning. Please, accept our Worship in Jesus’ Name.

The One Who brought water out of the rock; the One Who made the Heavens and the Earth out of nothing; the Great PROVIDER, we bow before You this morning. Accept our Worship in Jesus’ Name.

Your children are here this morning, Lord to have an ENCOUNTER with You. Please, my Father and my God, before this Month is over, let Poverty become a Stranger to us.

We have been coming Month by Month Oh Lord, but this particular Month, like You have never done before, in all our lives Lord, Glorify Your Holy Name.

In Jesus’ Name we have Prayed – Amen!

Let somebody shout Hallelujah – Hallelujah!

Shake hands with two (2) or three (3) people and say: “God will Prosper you this Month.”

… You may please be seated.

BIBLE TEXT: PSALMS 67:5-7

1. Let the people Praise thee, O God; let all the people Praise thee.
2. Then shall the Earth yield her increase; and God, even our own God, shall bless us.
3. God shall bless us; and all the ends of the Earth shall fear Him.

There is a link between PRAISE and PROSPERITY! (2ce)

Because this Passage says when people PRAISE GOD:

1. The Earth becomes FERTILE – it begins to yield her increase.

All of a sudden, when people begin to Praise God, farmers will discover that without any human fertilizer, the Earth will begin to yield her increase.

In other words, when you begin to Praise God, famine becomes eliminated.

So, this morning as we would be Praising God, anything called famine in your life will come to an end – Amen!

1. He says when people Praise God, then God would BLESS THEM.

… If God would say you are blessed, then you are blessed!

When God blesses somebody, nobody can curse the fellow.

When God blesses you, you will soon become an envy to others – because they won’t understand how you are doing your own.

Because God blessed Isaac in the day of famine, while everybody was groaning, he was PROSPERING.

That is why the Philistines envied him: “How is he doing his own?”

I decree in the Name that is above every other names, very soon, people will ask you: “What is your secret?” – Amen!

1. And then, he went further to say: Not only will God bless you, he said, all the end of the Earth will fear Him because of your blessing’.

When God blesses you, people will start envying you. After sometime, they will become afraid of you because they just can’t understand.

God can bless GREATLY and God can bless EXCEEDINGLY. And God can bless FEARFULLY.

In the Name that is above every other names, everyone of you listening to me now (or reading) God will BLESS YOU – Amen! – He will bless you Greatly; He will bless you Exceedingly; He will bless you Fearfully – Amen!

There is a kind of blessing that FRIGHTENS!

When we say it is time for Testimony and some people can’t think of what to Thank God for; we will know that they are BLESSED!

… It is only that their blessing is just BLESSING!

But when the Blessing gets to a certain stage, you can’t keep your mouth shut (It becomes impossible).

I have told you the story before of an elder (he has gone to be with God now) who didn’t finish Primary school and then, he became a Pastor: his highest hope in life was that he will have a new bicycle. That was his highest hope.

And then, all of a sudden, God Provided him with a Mercedes Benz Car. The day they brought the car to him and my driver told him Sir, God sent our Daddy G.O; he said we should go and give you this car: “This is the key. This fellow will be your driver”.

He began to run away.

My driver had to beg him, Please Sir, come and collect the key. He was FRIGHTENED!

The kind of blessing that will FRIGHTEN you, you will get it this Month – Amen!

But there is a link between PRAISE and PROSPERITY.

Consider David, for example, David started up a very poor man.

In 1 Samuel 25, (you can read it from verse 2-22).

When he was running about in the bush (hungry most of the time); he heard that a man was harvesting, he was sharing his sheep – NABAL by name.

So he sent to him: “Please, send me some food”.

That man said: “I don’t know who you are so am not going to give you my food”.

The Bible said: David sent to all his men, let us go and wipe him out.

… An hungry man is an ANGRY man!

You begged for food, the man said: ‘Am not giving you food’. You said: ‘You are going to kill him’ – You know what it means – hunger.

That is where David started from. But that is not where he ended!

In 1 Chronicles 28:11-18, after God told him ‘You are not going to be the one who will build my House’. He said; No problem, You said my son will build the house, fine. Not only will I Provide everything that boy needs to build the House, I will make sure that every ornament in the House of God is FINE GOLD!

A man who, out of hunger, wanted to kill a man because the man won’t give him food, became somebody who so Prospered that single handedly, could build the House of God; furnish everything in the House of God with Fine Gold.

I don’t know at what level you are right now, but as my Lord lives, one day, you will come to me and say: Daddy, how much will the Congress cost? – AMEN!

You will come and say, Daddy, I know there are three (3) Major Programmes in a year, could you please allow me to carry all the three (3) for one year? – Amen!

… God has done it before; He will do it for you – Amen!

WHAT IS THE SECRET OF DAVID? – “PRAISE!”

Psalms 34:11, he said – “I will bless the Lord at all times; His PRAISE shall continually be in my mouth.”

Psalms 108:1 said: ‘My heart is fixed within me, I will bless the Lord’.

He said MY HEART IS FIXED – it is concrete. I have made up my mind, I will bless the Lord.

And the Lord said: in that case, I too will BLESS you.

… PRAISE!

Consider Solomon, himself, who knew how to be Grateful.

2 Chronicles is a passage you know very well, chapter 1 verse 6-12.

It takes an “Extraordinarily Grateful Heart” to offer a thousand burnt offerings in one day – one thousand (1,000) cows!

He said, Just keep on offering it to the Lord, I just want to tell Him, I appreciate Him.

When the Almighty God took him from there and began to Prosper him, the next time he made an offering in 2 Chronicles 7:5; it wasn’t one thousand (1,000) cows now, it was twenty two thousand (22,000) cows plus one hundred and twenty (120) sheep – Just one man!

You are there when a Word of Prophesy came last Friday Night – Many of them came but when a particular one comes and I know this is mine, it becomes difficult for me to forget it.

When God said there was someone, that very soon, your singing will be LOUDER than those of others! – I knew He was talking about me.

Because when God blesses you, your singing has to be LOUDER than that of anyone else.

So David wrote in Psalms 103:1-5, he said: “Bless the Lord Oh my soul and all that is within me bless His Holy Name”.

Then, he began to list all the things that God has done for him and he added. He said: He satisfied your mouth with Good Things.

Brethren, if only we will move from complaining to Praising God, we will.

So when everybody is saying the Country is hard, God expects you to say: My God is More Than Sufficient; He is Jehovah El-Shaddai – He shall supply all my Needs.

When they say, Oh, things are getting more and more difficult, you will see NO!; as far as am concerned: “My Father prepares a table before me in the Presence of my enemies; He anointed my head with oil, my cup RUNS OVER”.

He expects you to say: “Surely, Goodness and Mercy shall follow me all the days of my live and I will dwell in the House of the Lord forever”.

He wants you to say things that will make Him look down from Heaven and say that is My boy; that is My girl. Whatever he/she needs, give him/her double.

There is someone here today, I think I heard a Prophesy last Friday that said: Very soon, Pleasant things will begin to happen to you – Amen!

So this morning, before we ask anything, we want to PRAISE HIM!

But before we do so, remember we said it also last Friday Night that God does not even want the Praises of Sinners – He said the sacrifice of the wicked is an abomination unto Him.

So if you are not Born Again, don’t join us when we are Praising Him!

ALTAR CALL:

If you are not Born Again and you want to Praise God; what you should do is that you just come forward and surrender your life to Him and He will then wash away your sins and then you too will be qualified to Praise God.

So this morning, those of us who want the kind of blessings that will FRIGHTEN our enemies, we are going to spend some five (5) to ten (10) minutes to just PRAISING GOD!

Just forget everybody else and Praise Him more than your neighbour – your Miracle will be MORE than that of your neighbour.

So I want you to stand on your feet and just begin to Praise Him: there is a link between GRATITUDE and PROSPERITY.

… If you want to give your life to Jesus, you come forward.

The rest of us, let us just go ahead and PRAISE the Almighty God: Praise the King of kings; Praise the Lord of lords; Praise the King of Glory. Magnify His Holy Name. Worship Him from the bottom of your heart.

Oh, let the world say that things are difficult, say NO! My God is More Than Sufficient. He is Jehovah El-Shaddai, He will supply all my needs. He is the One Who Anointed my Head with oil and my cup RUNS OVER!

He is the One Who can bring water out of the rock. He is the One Who can produce something out of nothing.

Oh, my Father never runs out of blessings. He is the One Who can bless, Who can bless greatly; who can bless exceedingly; who can bless fearfully – That is My God.

He is Wonderful. He is Mighty. He is the Lord of Host. He has never lost a war – That is My God.

When He speaks, it is done. Whatever He asks to come will come. Whatever He asks to go will go.

There is no one like my God. He is the Ancient of Days. He is the I Am that I Am. He is the One Who never grows old. His bank in Heaven never closes.

Oh, PRAISE MY GOD!

There is no one like my God. There is no one as Holy as He is. He is the Rock of Ages.

He is the Holy One of Israel. All Power belongs to Him. Absolutely, all Power belongs to Him.

I know my God. He took the last meal of a widow and turn it to something New – Something that will never end.

I know my God. He took just a bottle of oil and kept on multiplying it until the widow never had to borrow again – That is My God.

He is a kind God. He is a Loving God. He is a Faithful God.

Oh, that is my God: Begin to bless His Holy Name.

And those of you who have come forward, ask Him to save your soul. Ask Him to forgive all your sins. Tell Him, you will serve Him. Tell Him to forgive your sins today. Cry unto Him for your Salvation.

Thank You Father. Glory be to Your Holy Name. In Jesus Mighty Name we have Worshipped – Amen.

PRAYER FOR SALVATION:

Father, we want to commit all these Your children that have come forward for Salvation into Your Hands. Please, save their souls this morning. Let Your Blood wash away their sins. Write their names in the “Book of Life”. From now on, answer them by Fire. And please, Lord, don’t let them backslide.

In Jesus Mighty Name we have Prayed – Amen!

Praise the Lord – Hallelujah!

Those of you who have come forward, congratulations.

We want to Promise you that from now on by God’s Grace, I will be Praying for you.

So, am going to need your names, your address and your prayer requests.

So if you turn to your left, you will see a man there waving a placard, follow him. He will take you to where some Pastors are waiting – They will collect the information that I need and they will bring you back very quickly.

God bless you – You can begin to go.

God bless you! God bless you!!

…. If you are clapping for Jesus, do it very well.

Thank You Father – Amen.

THANKSGIVING OFFERING:

One of the ways of showing our Gratitude, of course, is by Giving to God. And that is why He says He loves a Cheerful Giver.

But if you do it Cheerfully, you do it in Gratitude; He will look down and say: Alright! Because you have done this, I will do More for you.

So, I want you to take your offering this morning; unlike you have never done before – Dance, Rejoice. Go before God with GRATITUDE.

He can’t Praise Himself so He want you to do the Praising.

… PRAISE Him and He will bless you Fearfully.

So, let us take our offering now.

As the band begin to play, let us dance to the nearest basket and give our offering to the Almighty God. You can then continue to dance.

Over to the band!

Those who have any Special Request and you want us to Pray with you, you can go ahead within the next one (1) minute.

You want to come forward to ask Him, you are free to. You have just one (1) minute to ask Him for that special Thing that you want Him to do for you.

And I will join my Faith with yours and the Almighty God will do it for you because you have already Praised Him.

Go ahead and talk to Him: That my Major Miracle that will frighten me; frighten my neighbours, Father do for me today.

Thank You Father!

In Jesus Mighty Name we have Prayed – Amen.

CLOSING PRAYER:

For I join my Faith with the faith of all these Your children and I hereby decree that You bless them Mightily, Bless them Exceedingly, Bless them Fearfully:

With Divine Health, bless them Mightily. With Financial Breakthroughs, bless them Fearfully. With Spiritual Breakthroughs, Father bless them Fearfully.

Bless their families. All those who love them, bless them also.

Bless their Offerings. Sanctify it Lord. Use it for Your Glory. Very soon, let people begin to ask: “What is the Secret of your children?”

In Jesus Mighty Name we have Prayed – Amen!

If you have received your Blessing, shout a big Hallelujah – HALLELUJAH!
