BIBLE TEXT: 2 KINGS 4:1-7
… Our THEME for this Month, as you know is: “LIFTED INTO GLORY”.
1 Now there cried a certain woman of the wives of the sons of the prophets unto Elisha, saying, Thy servant my husband is dead; and thou knowest that thy servant did fear the LORD: and the creditor is come to take unto him my two sons to be bondmen.
2 And Elisha said unto her, What shall I do for thee? tell me, what hast thou in the house? And she said, Thine handmaid hath not any thing in the house, save a pot of oil.
3 Then he said, Go, borrow thee vessels abroad of all thy neighbours, even empty vessels; borrow not a few.
4 And when thou art come in, thou shalt shut the door upon thee and upon thy sons, and shalt pour out into all those vessels, and thou shalt set aside that which is full.
5 So she went from him, and shut the door upon her and upon her sons, who brought the vessels to her; and she poured out.
6 And it came to pass, when the vessels were full, that she said unto her son, Bring me yet a vessel. And he said unto her, There is not a vessel more. And the oil stayed.
7 Then she came and told the man of God. And he said, Go, sell the oil, and pay thy debt, and live thou and thy children of the rest.
Let me start by DECREEING to somebody here today (or reading) that: You will NEVER Borrow Again – Amen!
When a man falls into a hole (into a pit) and he can’t get out on his own – and yet he wants to come out of the pit. The fellow has to do certain things:
- He must “Cry OUT” for Help – Because people around him might not know that he has fallen into a pit.
- When somebody has had his cry and has come to help, he must Listen CAREFULLY to the one who has come to HELP.
Because the one who has come to help may say: Alright, am about to throw down a rope to you now. Take the rope, tie it round your waste (maybe two (2) times or three (3) times). And then hold on to the rest of the rope, so that I can PULL you out!
… He must Listen CAREFULLY, to the one who has come to Help.
- He must do EXACTLY as the one who has come to help – Do whatever he tells him or her to do.
I decree to somebody here or reading: The God I serve will PULL you out of every Financial Hole today – Amen!
WHY? – Because you are going to CRY unto Him and He is going to HEAR you!
In Psalms 50:14-15; the Bible says: You come to God with Thanksgiving (which you have already done this morning) and you are going to do again; you pay your Vows – make sure you are not owing God.
If you are owing Him, assure Him this morning that very, very soon you will pay your Vows.
Then He said: “You call on Me in the Day of trouble, and I will answer you and deliver you”.
In the Name that is above every other names, as you cry to God this morning for help; He WILL HEAR YOU – Amen!
This widow CRIED for help. She CRIED to the Representative of the Most High God; and God HEARD her!
- You must listen CAREFULLY to the One who can PULL you out of whatever hole you might be in.
In Deuteronomy 28:1-2; the Bible says: “if you will HEARKEN DILIGENTLY…”
You listen carefully, you listen intently to the Voice of the Lord your God; to observe and to do what He COMMANDS you.
… Then He says Blessings will follow you and pursue you and overtake you. That is what He said!
Hearken DILIGENTLY – Observe, pay attention. And then do what He ASKS you to DO!
This widow came to the Man of God; she CRIED. The Man of God said: Alright! I have heard you. Now these are the things you are to do:
Go home, borrow empty vessels from your neighbours; make sure you don’t borrow a few!
After you have done that, shut the door on you and your children. And then begin to pour out the oil – She left, she did EXACTLY as she was told!
The result was: she had enough oil to sell to pay her debt and to live comfortably for the rest of her life.
I DECREE one more time; in the Name that is above every other names, everyone of you here today or reading, will NEVER borrow again – Amen!
Isaiah 1:19 says: “If ye be Willing and Obedient, ye shall eat the Good of the Land:”
Don’t let anybody deceive you, when they say “There is no money in Nigeria” – There is money here. It may be in the wrong hands!
And in the Name that is above every other names, WEALTH will change hands – Amen!
When they tell you there is no money; that is a lie! People are hiding Billions of Naira in various places. Some of them can’t even take the money to Banks because the Banks will say: “Where are you bringing this one from?”
… And yet there are those of us who want to use the money for the work of God.
In the Mighty Name of Jesus Christ, this Month, Wealth will begin to change hands – Amen!
- But we must hearken Diligently to the Voice of God. We must observe and do EXACTLY what He says!
For example, in Luke 6:38; we all know that He said: “GIVE, and you shall be what? – GIVEN!”
Some of us don’t give. But some of us say: But I GIVE – and I have not been given – Pay attention!
He said in 2 Corinthians 9:7; it says: “God loves a Cheerful what? – GIVER.
… GIVE CHEERFULLY; don’t just give – Give Cheerfully!
I once attended a Church (outside Nigeria). Well, the first time i went to that Church, I liked everything – Rugs everywhere.
Everybody shining as they came to Church. Thank God I got a new suit which I bought on sales otherwise I would have been the only one looking out of place.
Everybody was looking Fine! And I said: Lord have Mercy! God must have Prospered this people.
And then I observed something – the Pastor got up and said: It is “Offering Time!”.
And everybody began to rejoice. They began to clap, they began to shout.
And the Spirit of God said to me: “That is their SECRET” – They are CHEERFUL GIVERS!
Here, when we say it is Offering Time; some of us will say: Oh God, they have come again!
God is not a beggar.
Who is going to Prosper when you give? Is it God who said, Gold is mine, silver is mine.
I have told you again and again; when Elijah came to the Widow of Zarephath and said: “Give me food to eat”. It was not Elijah who is in Need; it was the Widow!
Oh, you say: “But the water dried up”.
That is true!
But if you read story further (2 Kings chapter 19); the Bible tells us that when Elijah was sleeping, an Angel came, brought him bread, brought him water.
If the water dried up – Angel can keep on bringing bread –
God is not in Need of Naira.
… God is not in need of Naira (Dollars); they don’t spend Naira (Dollars) in Heaven.
Silver belongs to Him, Gold belongs to Him. He used the mouth of a fish as a Bank.
Let me hear somebody shout Hallelujah to God – Hallelujah!
See an opportunity to Give, as an opportunity to be Blessed!
… That’s number one (1)!
- He says SOW. Galatians 6:7; says: “Sow, and you will reap”.
Oh! Some of us say: I have been sowing!
Read the rest of the story in 2 Corinthians 9:6; it says: “Sow bountifully, so that you can REAP bountifully.
… Pay attention to Details, Details; DETAILS!
- Then Malachi 3:10; asked you to TITHE.
Oh! There are some people who say: No, No, No! Don’t listen to them, that is Old Testament.
Jesus said in Matthew 23:23; when He was rebuking some people for paying Tithe, and remaining wicked – He said Tithe ALL.
Oh! Some of us will say, “Am Tithing”.
Read it very well: “Bring ALL the Tithes into my house”.
When God says “ALL” He means “ALL!”
Maybe the reason(s) why you don’t see the result is because you Tithe “Some”; and not ALL.
“The Square of the Hypotenuse is equal the sum of the other two (2) Sides of the Triangle.
But The Triangle must be Right Angled – Ninety (90) degrees”.
… If the Angel is 90.00001 degree, the Law breaks down!
So when God says: Bring ALL the into my House; it must be ALL – not minus one (1) Naira – Pay attention!
- In 1 Samuel 2:30; God said; (not the Pastor). He said: Those who Honour Me, I WILL HONOUR.
It came from the mouth of God; He said if you Honour Me, I will Honour you.
And I have explained to you what we call “HONOUR”.
Honour is something you give to somebody who doesn’t need anything else!
When you hear that a University is giving an Honorary Doctorate Degree to somebody; they don’t give it to everybody – they give it to somebody who is well fed, who has a house, he has cars. He has everything! – He doesn’t need your money.
… But we want to give him something money can’t buy – so we Honour him or her.
The Almighty God says: You Honour me, I WILL Honour you!
How Do I HONOUR GOD?
Proverbs 3:9-10 says: “Honour the Lord with your Substance, and the First fruit of your Increase”.
… It is there! It is not written by the Pastor!
This woman HEARKENED to the Man of God; she Observed what the Man of God said. She Heed what the Man of God said. And then she came back – she did something extra.
- TO TESTIFY: She came back to the Man of God and said – Ah! Oh Man of God, my house is now FULL of vessels Overflowing with Oil.
… She came Back!
Many of us, after God has Prospered us; after God has given us Mighty Breakthroughs, we never come back to say: THANK YOU!
And you know the problem with that?
God will simply say: That is fine – you wanted one (1) Miracle, you got one (1) Miracle.
… That is Fine! If that is all you want.
The African Elders have a saying: “The visitor who is scooping the stew, is simply saying: I don’t want to eat much! Because once the stew is finished, the Visitor can’t ask for more”.
If you don’t come back to say: THANK YOU! God is not going to fight. He is simply going to say – that is all you are going to get!
But I am convinced beyond all doubts, that God is speaking to someone here today or reading – who will have a Major Breakthrough before the end of this Month.
… And you will return to TESTIFY!
If you are that fellow, let me hear you shout Hallelujah – Hallelujah!
In Luke 17:12-19; the Bible says Jesus Christ HEALED ten (10) lepers. Only one (1) came back to say “THANK YOU”.
And when Jesus was speaking, you can feel the PAIN in his voice: “Were there not ten (10) Cleansed? Where are the other nine (9)?”
And He turned to the one (1) who came back to Testify and said: “I lift you from Healing to WHOLENESS”.
In the Name that is above every other names: By the end of this Month, somebody here or reading will TESTIFY – Amen!
Someone will say: In a way that is difficult to believed. I know that from now on, you will TESTIFY – Amen!
There was a young man who came to me, he said: Some years ago, I am the one who came to you to Pray for a Major Breakthrough.
I said, oh! I see.
He said: Your Prayers worked like wild fire – I got the Major Breakthrough.
I said, Congratulations Sir.
He said, I have come to you now because I need another Major Breakthrough – I want you to Pray that Prayer that works like wild fire.
I said, I see! You came a couple of years ago?
He said, Yes!
I prayed? – He said yes!
God answered? – He said yes!
And I have not seen you since then?
You now want me to Pray another Prayer?
Do you think I am a Prayer Merchant?
In the Name that is above every other names, there is somebody here today or reading: Major Breakthrough should become a COMMON thing in your life!
Because you will do certain things: You are going to CRY to God this morning; you are going to Pay Attention to everything He asks you to do (so you can get out of your hole); you will do what He asks you to DO; and you will TESTIFY!
But then, we all know; the Bible says in Isaiah 59:1-2; “The hands of the Lord is not shortened that He cannot save; neither His ear heavy that He cannot hear; but your SIN can separate between you and your God – that He won’t hear”.
If you are in the hole, and you are crying and there is nobody hearing – you know the Result!
So if you are living in SIN and you say you want to CRY to God; to PULL you out of the hole, and take you into GLORY. Then, you are wasting your time!
But if you come to Him this morning or as you are reading now and ask Him to save your soul. He will save your soul, and His Blood will wash away your sin!
ALTAR CALL
So if you want to give your life to Jesus Christ, am going to count from one (1) to seven (7). Before I say seven (7) come and stand before me here. I will Pray to God to forgive all your sins, to save your soul. I will Pray that His Blood will wash away your sins.
So that when we begin to CRY to God, He will hear your cry also.
So if you want to give your life to Jesus Christ, Come now, as am counting…
Ok! Those of you who are infront and those of you who are already on the way, CRY to God; ask Him to have Mercy on you. Ask Him to save your Soul, Promise Him that from now on, you will be serving Him – you will be doing His Will.
And the rest of us, please let us stretch our hands toward these people and intercede for them: That the One Who saved our Souls, will save their own Souls also.
Please Pray for them Brethren, Pray that God will have Mercy on them. That He will forgive all their sins. That He will wipe away all their sins with His Blood this morning. That He will receive them into the Family of God.
… So that their Prayers, too can begin to be answered.
Let’s intercede for them!
Anyone still coming? You have to hurry up because we are about to Pray for Salvation Now.
Thank You Father!
… Anyone else wanting to come, must hurry up Now!
In Jesus Mighty Name we have Prayed – Amen.
PRAYER FOR SALVATION:
Saviour, we Bless Your Name! We Thank You for Your Words and we Thank You for these people that have come forward to surrender their lives to you. Please Lord, receive them in Jesus’ Name!
You Promised that whosoever will come unto You; You will in no wise cast out. They have come now, Father please save their Souls; forgive all their sins.
Anything that can stand between them and answers to Prayers; Father please put it under Your Blood.
Receive them into the Family of God; give them a brand New Beginning. And from now on, anytime they CRY unto You please answer them by Fire! And please Lord, don’t let them backslide.
In Jesus Mighty Name we have Prayed – Amen!
Now, I want to rejoice with those of you who have come forward today because am Promising you as a Man of God that from now on, I will be Praying for you. And you will soon be receiving Miracles you have not even asked for.
And so am going to need your names; your address and your Prayer requests. I promise you, I will be Praying for you.
And so if you would turn to your Right, you will see a man there with a Placard. He will take you to where some Pastors are waiting. They would take the information that I need and then bring you back quickly.
God bless you! You can begin to go now. I Promise you I will be Praying for you.
Let us give the Lord a very big round of applause, even as they go!
… If you are clapping, you should clap very well -AMEN!
THANKSGIVING OFFERING
Before you Pray this morning, I want you to demonstrate that you have heard what I said. And I will know whether you heard me or you didn’t.
… It is OFFERING TIME! (Jubilation all over the Auditorium).
Alright! Ok. Am happy that you heard me.
Now take your offerings, and we are going to PRAY.
Take your offerings and lift it up to the Almighty God.
When Bartimeus heard that Jesus was passing by, he CRIED until Jesus heard him. He made up his mind that he must have an ENCOUNTER with Jesus Christ (Violently).
When finally he heard that Jesus has heard him; and He has sent for Him – He CRIED THE MORE!
So am going to give you four (4) minutes now to CRY to God.
As you lift your offerings before God and say Father..
… I say you should Pray Violently!
- Say FATHER, by this Offering I make a Covenant with You – I will NEVER be Poor again and I will Serve you with all my heart.
Go ahead CRY to the Almighty God: By this Offering my Father and my God; I am making a Covenant with You – I will NEVER be Poor again and I will serve you. I WILL SERVE YOU: that is my own part of the Covenant, I will serve You Lord!
I will serve You with all my heart, with all my strength, with whatever Resources You provide – I will Serve You.
Thank You Father! In Jesus Mighty Name we have Prayed – Amen!
- Then you are going to Pray another Prayer. And make it as Violent as possible.
And say: FATHER, everything I need to serve You, Provide Abundantly! Open your mouth and Cry to Him:
Everything I need to serve You Lord, Provide Abundantly! Beginning from today, Everything I need to serve You Lord, Provide Abundantly!
Thank You Father! In Jesus Mighty Name we have Prayed – Amen!
Right now, you will just dance Cheerfully – show God that you have already learnt your lessons. And drop your offerings in the nearest basket. Before we close with the Final Prayer.
… Over to you Band
… Oh, Praise the Lord!
Now before I pray, there are some people who wrote asking for Prayers. And we said if you would come to the Divine Encounter we will Pray with you.
So if you are one of such, if you would come forward to the Altar, I will join my Faith with yours and CRY to God concerning your request.
The rest of us wherever we are, let us just go ahead and ask God for something SPECIAL for the Month of September:
Tell Him EXACTLY what you want Him to do for you for the Month of September.
And I hope you heard the Announcement that this is September; the Holy Ghost Service for the Month of September is for those “Trusting God for the Fruit of the Womb”.
… So there will be no Shiloh Hour today!
Anybody who came for Shiloh Hour can step forward now and join those who are coming for Prayers.
So go ahead, ask God for whatever you want Him to do for you in this Month of September.
And let us begin to bring our Prayers to a close.
Thank You Father! In Jesus Mighty Name we have Prayed – Amen.
FINAL BLESSING:
So Father we want to say THANK YOU! Thank You because we know You always hear our Prayers and You have the ability to answer ALL our Prayers.
These Your children have come today, believing that if we Pray together; You are going to answer. Please, answer their Prayers today!
Everything they have asked, my Lord and my Saviour; before the end of today, let it become a Testimony.
Everything we have asked You to do for us in the Month of September; Lord God Almighty even before the end of this Week – DO THEM for us!

As Your children are going home, Lord let Your presence go with them! Even before the end of today, Father let there be Miracles in their lives.
