OPENING PRAYER
Almighty God, we bless Your Holy Name. Thank You for the Salvation of our souls. Thank You for Your children that You are Setting Apart for Yourself today. Thank You Lord God Almighty because we know, Your Anointing on them will never run dry. Please, accept our Worship in Jesus’ Name.
Father, now that the Anointing is still fresh, we pray that every yoke will be destroyed; and everyone will leave here thoroughly blessed, in Jesus’ Name.
And we are Thanking You in advanced for what You will do here tomorrow. Glory be to Your Holy Name.
In Jesus Mighty Name we have Prayed – Amen!
Let someone shout Hallelujah – Hallelujah!
Shake hands with one (1) or two (2) people, say: Good Evening, God bless you.
And then you may please be seated.
I want to say: Congratulations to the people who have been Ordained. I rejoice with you!
I can never forget the day I was Ordained, in 1975. The Oil was so precious to me that for three (3) days I didn’t take my bath. Of course I didn’t know then that ‘no amount of water can wash away the Anointing’.
So don’t follow my example! It is only sin that can wash the Anointing away; and not water and soap.
Congratulations!
And I want to congratulate those who are yet to be Ordained in advance: because your day will come soon – Amen!
… I thought your Amen will be loud – AMEN!
BIBLE TEXT: ISAIAH 61:1-3
1 The Spirit of the Lord GOD is upon me; because the LORD hath anointed me to preach good tidings unto the meek; he hath sent me to bind up the brokenhearted, to proclaim liberty to the captives, and the opening of the prison to them that are bound;
2 To proclaim the acceptable year of the LORD, and the day of vengeance of our God; to comfort all that mourn;
3 To appoint unto them that mourn in Zion, to give unto them beauty for ashes, the oil of joy for mourning, the garment of praise for the spirit of heaviness; that they might be called trees of righteousness, the planting of the LORD, that he might be glorified.
The Spirit of God is also equivalent to the Fire of God.
Revelation 4:5 describes the Spirit of God as the Fire of God.
In Matthew 3:11; it is written that Jesus Christ will Baptise us with Holy Ghost and with Fire.
So when we are talking about Fire, we are talking about the Spirit of God; we are are talking about the Fire of God!
So when we say “LET THE FIRE FALL”; We are actually saying – Let the Holy Spirit come down!
So when He says “The Spirit of God is upon me”, He is actually saying: the FIRE of is upon me!
So those who have been Ordained today because (as you read that passage forward) it says: The Spirit of God is upon me because He has ANOINTED me – When the Fire comes, it comes in form of ANOINTING.
And so the ANOINTING came upon those who have been Anointed for a PURPOSE – GOD NEVER DOES ANYTHING WITHOUT A PURPOSE!
And the Purpose for which these Brethren have been Anointed; and those who have been Anointed before them – the PURPOSE has been listed: they are Seven (7) of them.
Basically. And I will go over them very briefly. This Sermon is not going to last for a long time.
The greatest Sermon that was ever preached, was the Sermon on the Mount: It lasted for fifteen (15) Minutes!
… So for a Sermon to be effective, it doesn’t have to last forever.
So these Brethren have been ANOINTED:
- TO PREACH THE GOSPEL.
Acts 1:8 says: “But ye shall receive Power, after that the Holy Ghost is come upon you: and ye will be WITNESSES unto Me…”
The Gospel is Good News! And they are to go now, like never before and tell the Good News.
What is the Good News? – Jesus Saves!
What is the Good News? – Jesus Heals!
What is the Good News? – With Jesus all things are Possible!
What is Good News? – If you ask anything in the Name of Jesus: it shall be done!
… That is GOOD NEWS!
Someone was complaining (one of these funny people) he said one thing he doesn’t like about me is that each time I Prophesy; I always Prophesy Good Things.
He says eh! You Prophesy somebody will never die; you Prophesy somebody will never weep again (Laughter).
I said, ah! You want me to Prophesy that somebody is going to die tomorrow?
… No! Am sent to Proclaim the Good News!
So I want to Prophesy to someone now, that: “It will be Well with you!”
So these people are sent to spread out the Good News – to tell the people the Good News!
You can’t fight someone who brings you Good News.
So when you say: ‘Some people don’t want to hear the Gospel’ – that’s not true. Maybe you are not telling it the way it should be told.
Because if you come to me and you say; you will go to hell”:
That’s not Good News!
You are supposed to tell me – God has made a Way out of hell.
… That is Good News!
That if I will give my life, Heaven is waiting for me; and there is hell to loose.
- They are to HEAL.
In Acts 9:32-35; Peter said to Aeneas: “Aeneas, Christ has made thee Whole.”
You say Ah! But Sir, am not the Healer?
Who said you are the Healer?
Jesus is the Healer!
Suppose I lay hands on the sick and they don’t recover?
Who told you they won’t recover?
What if you lay hands on them and they recover?
Why don’t you think along that line?
I said so, too when I was young: “If I lay hands on the sick and they don’t recover; what am I going to do?
The Lord made it clear to me: “Who told you, you are the Healer?
You lay hands on them, and I will lay My Hands on your hands: and My Power will flow through your hands and would do the Healing.
What if I lay hands on them and they die?
He said well, why not? Dying is the Greatest Healing – dead people never fall sick again.
What about the embarrassment on me, if I lay hands on them and they don’t recover?
He said: When you lay hands on them and they recover; do you share the Glory?
So if you lay hands on them and they don’t recover; why should you share the embarrassment?
Why don’t you just leave these things to me?
… You do your part, and let me do My part!
So Brethren, will you be laying hands on the sick?
Do you believe they will recover?
… Your ‘Yes’ is very low!
Because it will be to you, according to your Faith.
So if you approach sickness with so much timidity – that the sickness itself will know; you don’t want it to leave!
And when you just lay hands and say: “You are well in the Mighty Name of Jesus!”
Leave the rest to GOD – He is the Great Physician!
- They are to SET CAPTIVES FREE:
In Mark 16:17-18; He said “These Signs shall follow them that believe…”
The first thing He said that they will do is that: “They will cast out demons”.
“And these signs shall follow them that believe; In my name shall they cast out devils;”
There is what we call the Law of Priority: “What is Most Important in a man’s heart, comes out of his mouth first”
God said the first thing you would DO; even long before you lay hands on the sick is that: “You will cast out demons”.
… He said so, IF YOU BELIEVE.
But how do I know that the demons will go?
How do you know they won’t GO?
Demons will go, depending on the way you ask them – they LISTEN to your voice!
From your voice they can dictate whether really they can go or. Not:
“… In th-eee Naa-ame of Je-su-s, you demons I, I, I, co-co-mand you to g-oo” (Laughter!)
(That must be a demon just going)
I thought this kind of problems are only found in Nigeria (Laughs!) I have just been reminded that there are demons everywhere!
I have said it before: ‘If someone is in the toilet, and the door is knocked (and you knock at the door). You can guess who is inside by the way he answers:
If it is the Cleaner (in the house) and you knock at the door, and he doesn’t know whether it is the Landlord that is knocking; the voice will tremble – because she will be wondering maybe they have been looking for her and they didn’t know where she is. “Ye -eees!”
If it is the Landlord that is inside, and you knock at the door; his voice will say “WHO’s disturbing me?”
.. Do you understand what am saying?
In the same manner, the devil can tel, from your Voice – Is it the Landlord speaking, or a Messenger?
Is it somebody who KNOWS who he is in CHRIST that is commanding me to leave?
I don’t approach demons and BEG them to LEAVE: I decree “IN THE MIGHTY NAME OF JESUS, COME OUT!”
…And the way I say it, will tell them, they have no choice!
Let me hear you say: “From now on, demons will OBEY ME.”
Yes! I saw the way you SAID IT – some said it with Force, some said it as if ‘the demon mustn’t hear me speaking’.
… Say it again! “From now on, demons will OBEY ME.”
So shall it be: You are to set CAPTIVES FREE.
- And then, they are TO COMFORT THOSE WHO ARE MOURNING.
John 14:16; calls the Holy Spirit ‘THE COMFORTER ‘.
If the Holy Spirit is in you; His Purpose is to Comfort those MOURN.
To Comfort is different from, to Sympathize:
Many at times when you sympathize, you make the burden BIGGER – “Eh, sorry oooh! Look at your problem. How can this happen to you now? And you are not the only fellow in Church!”
Some people will even say: “you see, I said so!”
You should look at the fellow and say: Listen my Brother, Listen my Sister, it is written: “Say ye to the Righteous, it shall be Well with him”.
It doesn’t matter what is happening to you now; “Your tomorrow will be Alright!”
… That is Comforting!
It doesn’t matter what is happening my Brother, my Sister; God is still on the Throne!
… And all things work together for Good to them that Love God;
That is comforting! Not “eh, sorry ooh! NO. That is Sympathy!
He asked you to COMFORT. You comfort them with the Word of the Almighty God.
- You are to GIVE THEM BEAUTY FOR ASHES.
In Matthew 8:1-3; a leper came to Jesus Christ and said, I know you can make me clean (if You are Willing).
He said: I am WILLING.
He touched him and made Healed him.
A leper is someone in ASHES. Someone with HIV or AIDS is in ASHES.
You want to give Beauty for ASHES?
Stand by them, cry to God with them – until the Problems are GONE.
You give them Beauty for ASHES when you get the Mountains MOVED.
And He is asking you as Pastors, you are to stand by your Congregations – You know, as Ministers of God; until their Problems are over!
That is why you have to remain “FULLY PRAYED UP” all the time.
Every Ministers of God must be like a battery that has been CHARGED.
So that if you are going on the Way and you see somebody whose Battery is down; they can JUMP START!
You know what we call “Jump Starting?”
They put a wire to connect your battery to their battery, and then start their car – It goes on!
You MUST BE PRAYED UP: You don’t have to wait until there is trouble before you PRAY.
Keep Praying – keep your Battery Fully Charged.
… So you can always give people BEAUTY FOR ASHES.
- And then He said, you are to give to people OIL OF JOY FOR MOURNING.
In Acts 9:36-41; they invited Peter to the house of Dorcas. And all the widows, all the people there were weeping, saying: ‘Look at the one who has been taking care of us is DEAD.’
The Bible says, he put all of them out! He went in; Prayed a simple Prayer. And presented the woman to them ALIVE:
All of a sudden, mourning changed to REJOICING.
Ministers of God, you NEED THIS ANOINTING for whatever is causing sorrow in the lives of the Congregation.
It is not an easy thing to do; that’s why you need the Anointing.
That is why you need the Constant Companionship of the MOST HIGH GOD.
- And then He said, GARMENT OF PRAISE FOR THE SPIRIT OF HEAVINESS.
In Acts 3:1-8; there was this Lame Man by the Beautiful Gate. And he was looking for money. And Peter said: “Silver and Gold have I none; but what I have, I give unto you!’
There are several people who said, what he wanted to give was ‘the Name of Jesus’. No, No, NO. He said “IN THE NAME OF JESUS”; what I have!
What was it that he had? – ANOINTING.
The Holy Spirit had just come upon him. He said “I have something now”.
It is not the Peter of yesterday that you are seeing today – Things have CHANGED.
Of course you know the story; the man didn’t move until Peter GRABBED him by the hand and Anointing flowed.
Whether you like it or not; those of you who have been Ordained today, ‘it is not the Fellow who came in that is going out’ – Amen!
If your friends treat you the way they were treating you before; they will suddenly realize they are touching Fire!
It says clearly: “Touch not my Anointed, do my Prophets no harm”.
… You are different now!
- And that Anointing is to HELP THOSE WHO ARE IN HEAVINESS – to now begin to bubble in PRAISE.
When that man got up, the Bible says, he was Leaping, he was Jumping, he was Praising God.
… Heaviness has changed to Praise!
So He has Anointed you, not for joking.
He has Anointed you, not for relaxing.
Ordination is a call to WAR, it is a call to Battle!
You don’t believe me – ask David. He had no Problems until he was Anointed.
Then Lions came, then a Bear came, Goliath came! But the Anointing is there; to deal with whatever may come.
… And the One Who has Anointed you will stand by you – Amen!
Now, let me begin to CLOSE: The Fire of God is not an Ordinary Fire.
According to Hebrew 12: 29;God is a CONSUMING Fire – Fire that CONSUMES.
Ordinary Fire consumes, anyway! I mean; I pray that there will never be fire incident here!
But if there is fire incident, suddenly you will realise that it begins to consume things.
But the Fire of God is the Fire that can even LICK UP water.
So when that Anointing comes on your head, you better make use of it appropriately. Or it becomes a Problem.
In Jeremiah 20:9; Jeremiah said: “I won’t talk about Him; am not going to Preach the Gospel”.
He said, suddenly I began to feel “Fire in my bones”.
Oh! So you think they just poured Ordinary Oil on your head? If you don’t use it; it will become a Problem.
You use it, ah! It will begin to flow, it will Multiply.
It is just like a River – if you Dam a River (you don’t allow it to flow anymore); very soon, it will begin to STINK. As long as it is flowing freely; it will remain FRESH.
And if you trace a River from the Source (downhill); you will discovered that as it goes farther away from its source. It becomes wider, deeper, bigger.
But if you don’t use it; there will be problem – He gives you the Fire, so that it can be USED.
Amos said, in Amos 3:8; He said: “The lion has roared, who will not fear? God has spoken, who will not Prophesy?”
He says: “GO, and make USE of the ANOINTING”.
And for those of you who might be here, who are friends of those who are being Ordained; you know your Day can come soon.
It all begins with Salvation, you know?
When you give your life to Jesus Christ. When you qualify, then one of these days the FIRE WILL FALL and you too who used to be an Ordinary Person will become somebody Mighty.
I was a Mathematician; as I always say – God must have a big sense of humour to pick a Mathematician and turn him to a Pastor. Because Mathematics and Christianity are supposed to run in Parallel Line.
Because, Christianity says: “if you Believe it, I will prove it”. Mathematics says: ‘if you Prove it, I will believe it’.
… They are supposed to be Opposite!
But my Father jumped the line, and grabbed a Mathematician; saved him, and Anointed him. And the world is yet to recover that Incident!
He can do the same thing for you; even if you are a sinner now. If you will just surrender your life to Him, He will wash you clean with His Blood. And very, very soon He will Anoint you too.
It might even be before the end of this week; because tomorrow (Friday, 13th of September, 2019) we are going to talk about: “LET THE FIRE FALL”.
ALTAR CALL:
So if you are here or reading now, and you have not yet given your life to Jesus Christ, you can begin the journey to Power, to Anointing, to doing Miracles, Signs and Wonders. You can begin the journey NOW.
So in case there is anyone – you might be the only one fellow, that you have not yet surrendered your life to Jesus. And you want to do so: come and stand before me and I will Pray for your Salvation, and your journey to Greatness will begin!
So if anybody like that is here, come now! Am going to count from one (1) to four (4); if by the time I say four (4) you are not already standing before me. I will assume that we are all saved. And then I will say the Closing Prayer; and we will continue the Program.
So if you want to surrender your life to Jesus, come NOW. Am counting…
God bless you (repeatedly)! Any other person, you better come now; let this day be your day of Salvation – Ok, Thank You!
Now, those of you who have come forward, just talk to God in your own Language. Tell Him: I have come to surrender my life to you; have Mercy on me. Save my soul and I will serve you for the rest of my life.
And the rest of us, let us stretch our hands to these our Brothers and Sisters, and intercede for them; and pray that the One Who saved our souls, will save their own souls also.
Let us intercede for them: Let us pray that God will forgive all their sins and bring them into the Family of God. That God will give them a brand New Beginning today – that they may begin the journey into Greatness, today.
Thank You Father!
And if anybody still wants to come; you are not late yet. So you can still come, before I finish my Prayer – because am about to Pray for Salvation.
Thank You Father! In Jesus Mighty Name we have Prayed – Amen.
PRAYER FOR SALVATION:
Almighty God I want to say THANK YOU: Thank You from the bottom of my heart for Your Words. And Thank You for these Your children that have come to surrender their lives unto you.
Please, receive them, forgive them, save their souls. Let Your Blood wash away their sins. Receive them into the Family of God. And give them a brand New Beginning.
And Father am praying that from now on; anytime they call on You; You will answer them by FIRE.
And I Pray that You will Anoint them also; so that very soon, they will become Mighty Ministers of God.
In Jesus Mighty Name we have Prayed – Amen!
Praise the Lord! Now, I want to rejoice with those of you who have come forward. I am going to shake your hands.
Congratulations!
I want to Promise you; from now on I will be Praying for you. And so I would need your names, your address, your prayer requests. The Counsellors would attend to you very quickly (they won’t take long). And then they will bring you back.
Let us give the Lord a big round of applause (2ce)!
Now, this is Very Special Day; whenever someone is Ordained, Heaven Pays attention.
So on this occasion, am going to ask you, to call on God and ask for a VERY SPECIAL ORDINATION PRESENT – a Special Miracle from the Almighty God.
The kind of Miracles He gives on very Special Occasions like this!
So, go ahead and ask Him, and Say Oh Lord, give me a very Special Ordination Present; a Miracle to remember this Day by. So that whenever I remember this occasion – I have something Specific from God; something to show, for that Particular Day!
