In every areas of their lives, let them be Fruitful. And let them serve You till the end.

In Jesus Mighty Name we have Prayed – Amen!

Well, let the children of September shout another Hallelujah – Hallelujah!

God bless you! You may please be seated.

ANNOUNCEMENT:

1. As you know very well, next Month is our YOUTH CONVENTION.

And if anything to go by. If what we saw in the First (1st) Talk tonight is anything to go by; then, the Youth Convention will be absolutely Glorious.

And the THEME for next Month therefore, is “HIS POWER AND HIS GLORY”.

… A bird flies with the two (2) wings.

The two (2) wings of the Most High are – His POWER and His GLORY.

It ia going to be absolutely GLORIOUS!

So, if I were you, I will get ready and I will invite all the Youths and Young Adults.

All the Youths are those who are younger than I. The Elders are those who are older than I. So if you are younger than seventy seven (77) years old; you are a Youth.

So let all the Youth shout a Big Hallelujah – Hallelujah!.

… So next Month (October) is our Youth Convention.

1. Now, before I go to the Message this evening, I want to make a very Special Appeal to you (and you can pass the message unto your friends): I want to beg you not to think of retaliation against South Africa. And I will tell you why.

… You say I tell stories; it is because I have seen a bit, in my seventy seven (77) years on Earth.

In 1966, just before the Civil War, Colonel (he was Colonel then) Odumegu Ojukwu made an Announcement over the Radio.

… At that time I was a student at the University of Nigeria, Nsukka (Eastern Part of Nigeria).

And he said that he could no longer guarantee the safety of those who came from outside the Eastern Region (we were in Regions then). So he told all of us who were not Easterners to go home – Ok!

And all our brothers who were of the Eastern origin sympathised with us. Because our Studies in Nsukka was coming to an abrupt end. And the University Authorities called a Meeting. And they told us they were making arrangements to transport those of us who were not of Eastern origin back to our Regions.

But then suddenly, news came over the Radio that the students of the University of Ibadan had cornered all the brethren from the East, and that they are holding them to ransom: Saying they would not be released until everybody from Western Region has come back home.

Immediately, everything changed! All our friends from the Eastern Region we have been friends together, eating together, playing ball together, etc (who were sympathizing a moment ago) CHANGED!

And immediately they began to hold meetings as to how to keep all of us who were from other Regions in the East, until they have all their own brothers restored to them. I mean, everything CHANGED!

In my life, I can could count three (3) or four (4) occasions when I had known FEAR in the real sense of the word. I knew it that day! Because all of us then gathered together (we were not very many). And there was one man among us (from Ekiti) who was noted for expensive jokes.

When we were all trembling, we didn’t know what to do; he said: “Well, my own case is simple, my wife has just had a son, if I die now, nobody will say I never came into the world”. Ah! Suddenly, the possibility of dying came to us.

… You don’t know what it means to be in another man’s land, not knowing what could happen overnight!

Be careful; don’t retaliate against South Africa. Because of the Nigerians who are still in South Africa.

… If you understand me, say amen – Amen!

It took Divine Intervention to get us across the Niger again. Because the moment we saw what was happening; those who had money began to run away, to go and take transport from Nsukka to Asaba.

I had just one (1) of what they called in those days Senate Scholarship. It means the Senate of the University was going to pay my School fees, my allowances (because I was the best in Mathematics Department). So I had spent every money I had because I knew money was coming. And now, I was down to zero! I had no money, even if I want to run away.

Now, let me tell you one thing (and am sure many of you know it): anytime they say that a University is rioting; the people who are actually rioting are always less than ten percent (10%) of the population of the University.

… Those of you who know what am talking about, say Amen – Amen!

The rest of us, we lock ourselves in the room, reading our books. Of course those few who are rioting, if they see you, they can come and break your head with a bottle.

The average South African, is a decent person – I know!

Those who are causing the trouble are not many.

If you have a South African living near you, show them love, protect them from any harm. Because (let me tell you point blank) even if the Government were to repatriate all Nigerians from South Africa; within the next two (2) Months, they will be back.

You know Nigerians! Why did they go to South Africa (to start with)? – You repatriate them, bring them to Nigeria.

Do we have enough jobs for those who stayed?

So for the sake of your own kit and kin: Don’t retaliate against South Africans.

Let us leave this job for the Government to handle. Let them solve this problem at the Governmental level.

Pray for them that God will give them Wisdom, give them Understanding, give them the Ability to do it.

Let me put it in a light manner now – Those who agree with me say “HI”. Those who disagree say “NAY”.

… The “HI” have it!

Let’s put our hands together for the Almighty God.

Glory be to God! – OK.

“LIFTED INTO GLORY!”

PART ONE (1)

As usual, we want to spend the first few minutes talking to those who are yet to surrender their lives to Jesus Christ.

For these people, I will be reading Hebrew 2:14-25;

I Thank God for those who have spoken before me. I Thank God for the young man – I saw the energy, the jumping up and down (LAUGHTER).

In Yoruba land, if we are going to compare the jumping to the Preaching, we would probably say: “EPE POJU OHUN TO SONU” (The curse is more than what was is missing).

I was watching in my Prayer Room, and I said this man will get tired before he finished Preaching.

But what a Wonderful Message; what a Wonderful Message. Let us give the Lord a big round of applause.

If you don’t gain anything at all from what he said, please go home with this: “The MORE you Pray in the Spirit, the more GODLY you will become!”

… If you pray in the Spirit more and more; God will Change you more and more.

And then, Mama came and presented the matter in a Motherly fashion.

This time there was no jumping, there was no sweating. She just kept on digging it and pushing it to you – Right where it will sink!

Let us give the Lord a big round of applause for Mama – OK!

… After those two (2) people, it is almost difficult for a small Pastor to Preach.

But then, am already here, so we would do what God wants us to do!

Hebrew 2:14-15

14 Forasmuch then as the children are partakers of flesh and blood, he also himself likewise took part of the same; that through death he might destroy him that had the power of death, that is, the devil;

15 And deliver them who through fear of death were all their lifetime subject to bondage.

Every sinner is a Prisoner – a Prisoner of the devil: A prisoner held in no bondage, kept in a dungeon.

Every sinner, whether they want to admit it or not, is a slave in a hole. A dark horrible hole. Held captive by Satan himself.

The Bible says in 1 John 3:8; it said: “He that committeth sin is of the devil; for the devil sinneth from the beginning. For this purpose the Son of God was manifested, that he might destroy the works of the devil.”

… If you are a sinner, you belong to the devil.

And the Bible says you belong to him Lawfully. You are a slave Legally.

And so He says in Isaiah 49:24: Who is going to deliver the prey from the Mighty? Who is going to take the Lawful Captive from the owner?

So a sinner is a Captive – Captive of Satan in a dungeon; a deep dark hole.

And if somebody is in a hole and he wants to come out of the hole, he has to CRY FOR HELP:

The unfortunate thing for sinners is that even if they cry, their sins will not allow the only One who can help them, to hear!

Isaiah 59:1-2 says: it is not as if God cannot reach down and bring anybody out of the hole; “Behold, the LORD’s hand is not shortened, that it cannot save;”

… His hands are Everlasting Arms.

There is no hole so deep – His Hands is still deeper than the hole.

“Neither His ear heavy, that it cannot hear:” – God is not DEAF!

He Said: “But your iniquities have separated between you and your God, and your sins have hid His face from you, that He will not hear.”

You cry to Him, He won’t even hear!

On the other hand, a Saved Soul is someone who has heard the Truth and the Truth has set him or her free.

Because the Bible says in John 8:32: “And ye shall know the Truth, and the Truth shall make you free.”

So the difference between the sinner and the Saint is that the Saint heard the Truth and responded.

WHAT IS THE TRUTH THAT CAN MAKE YOU FREE?

TRUTH no. 1: Is that there is Salvation in Jesus and Jesus alone.

Acts 4:10-12: There is Salvation in no other – No other than in the Name of Jesus.

… That’s TRUTH No. 1

TRUTH No. 2: It is the Blood of Jesus Christ alone, that cleanses from all sin – 1 John 1:7

Not the blood of goats, or bullocks.

According to Hebrew 10:1-10; it doesn’t matter how many times you slaughtered animals (to atone for your sins) it is of no use.

TRUTH No. 3: is that there is Someone who can deliver the Lawful Captive – There is someone Mightier than the devil.

Isaiah 49:24-26; says clearly: There is Someone who can deliver you – Who can lift you up from the dungeon. There is Someone who can take the Captive away from the Mighty; who can take the prey from the terrible pit.

… That Person is the Almighty God.

TRUTH No. 4: There is Someone who can translate you from darkness into Light.

Because if you are a sinner, captured by Satan, you will be dwelling in darkness.

Colossians 1:12-15 made it clear: It is the Lord Jesus Christ that can translate us out of darkness into the Marvellous Light of God.

TRUTH No. 5: Ephesians 13-18 made it clear: That wall that was separating you from God, had been broken down by Jesus Christ.

If you allow Jesus Christ, He can give you Access to the Almighty God.

TRUTH No. 6: John 1:11-12 says: As many as believe in Jesus Christ, to them gave He Power to be called sons of God.

Jesus Christ can move you to the Family of God by Adoption.

Roman 8:15 tells us: We now cry Abba Father! Because we have been Adopted into the Family of God.

Someone was asking me sometime ago: Is it alright to Adopt a child?

I said ah, we are all Adopted children of God: He has only one Begotten Son. The rest of us are ALL Adopted!

… Through Jesus Christ, we can be Adopted into the Family of God.

And TRUTH No. 8: 2 Corinthians 5:17; the Bible says: “Therefore if any man be in Christ, he is a new creature: old things are passed away; behold, all things are become new.”

Revelation 12:10-11 says: Through the Blood of Jesus Christ, you can overcome Satan.

Just by the Blood of that Lamb of God; the one who had held you Captive, you can now hold him Captive. You can overcome Satan by the Blood of the Lamb.

And TRUTH No. 9: James 4-7 says: If you Surrender to God; you can resist the devil and he will flee from you.

PLAIN Truth! Which leads me to the final Truth;

TRUTH No. 10: if you believe on the Lord Jesus Christ, and you call on His Name – YOU SHALL BE SAVED!

So you have a Choice!

The Choice is to remain a slave to Satan (kept in his dungeon) or to surrender your life to Jesus Christ and be LIFTED out of darkness into Light; out of captivity into freedom; out of slavery into sonhood.

And nobody can force you; the choice is yours: Do you want to stay on with Satan, so that he can keep on tormenting you? Or do you want to come over to Jesus Christ and tell Satan “now you are under my feet?”

A friend of mine was talking the other day; he is a very funny friend of mine. I won’t tell you too much about him, some of you have probably heard about him not too long ago. He doesn’t think like other people think. He is different!

He was talking about kidnappers, and he said: you don’t have to kill kidnappers (when you arrest them). That what you should do is to hand them over to former VICTIMS of kidnapping.

Hand them over to them, turn your back for three (3) days. After three (3) days, come and rescue them. He said, they will never kidnap again!

… I think you know what he is talking about.

If you cross over to Jesus Christ, Satan becomes your victim. The one who used to torment you becomes someone you will torment.

And you know what?

If you give your life to Jesus Christ today, you will become a terror to the devil. And all those evil forces that have shown undue interest in you; that have kept you in barrenness all these years will now tremble when they hear you shout JESUS.

Because they will be able to say, Jesus I know, and now I know this fellow who has surrendered his/her life to Jesus Christ.

ALTAR CALL:

So if you want to give your life to Jesus Christ; am going to count from one (1) to ten (10). Before I say ten (10) come and stand before me, I will Pray for your Salvation: you will become a Member of the Family of God.

And if you are a Member of the Family of God; barrenness will no longer be your portion. And the Almighty God who has be doing Marvellous things for others, will be free to do the same thing for you.

Am counting now! Come and give your life to Him. And very soon you will be SINGING;

Lifted, I am lifted by the Blood,
Out of sin and sorrow,
Into the Glory of the Lord.

You give your life to Him, He will LIFT you out of sin, out of sorrow, out of fruitless efforts, out of barrenness, out of the darkness of the dungeon of Satan.

Now talk to the Almighty God; those of you who are already infront. And those of you who are on the way: Ask Him to have Mercy on you, ask Him to forget your sins, ask Him to save your Soul, Promise Him that from now on you will serve Him.

That you don’t want to have anything to do with the devil anymore. You want to spend the rest of your life serving the Almighty God. And that He will answer you and receive you into the Family of God.

Cry to Him those of you infront, and those of you on the way; those of you on the way you will hurry up quickly, because we will soon be Praying for Salvation.

And the rest of us, please let us stretch our hands to our New brother’s and sisters and Pray that the Almighty God will have Mercy on them. And that He will forgive all their sins, and rescue them from the yoke of bondage of sin.

Pray that today will mark a New Beginning for them, even as they are received into the Family of God. Pray for them, intercede for them. Pray that God will have Mercy on each and every one of them.

Pray for them! Pray that the One who saved your Soul, will save their Souls also.

Thank You Father. In Jesus Mighty Name we have Prayed – Amen.

PRAYER FOR SALVATION:

Saviour, I just want to Thank You very much., because You made a Promise that, whosoever will come unto You; You will in no wise cast out. These people have come now to surrender their lives to you; please receive them in Jesus’ Name.

Forgive all their sins, let Your Blood wash them clean, save their Souls today, write their names in the “Book of Life”. Please receive them into the Family of God.

And I Pray that from now on anytime they call on You, You will answer them by Fire. And I Pray that they will never go back to the chains of Satan again.

Thank You Almighty God. In Jesus Mighty Name we have Prayed – Amen!

Now those of you who have come forward, let me hear you shout Hallelujah – Hallelujah!

Am rejoicing with you because from now on am going to be Praying for you. So am going to need your name, your address and your Prayer request – the Counsellors will give you a Card to fill; fill it very quickly and return to them.

We will wait for you till you finish, before we continue – Congratulations!

God bless you!

PART TWO (2)

Thank you very much! Now let us go to:

BIBLE TEXT: GENESIS 21:1-7

1 And the LORD visited Sarah as he had said, and the LORD did unto Sarah as he had spoken.

2 For Sarah conceived, and bare Abraham a son in his old age, at the set time of which God had spoken to him.

3 And Abraham called the name of his son that was born unto him, whom Sarah bare to him, Isaac.

4 And Abraham circumcised his son Isaac being eight days old, as God had commanded him.

5 And Abraham was an hundred years old, when his son Isaac was born unto him.

6 And Sarah said, God hath made me to laugh, so that all that hear will laugh with me.

7 And she said, Who would have said unto Abraham, that Sarah should have given children suck? for I have born him a son in his old age.

Somebody here or reading will laugh from now on – Amen!

We are talking about “LIFTED INTO GLORY”.

Inside evey man, every woman, is a “Hunger to go Higher”.

Everybody wants to go Higher: the students in the University wants to graduate.

… Thank God we are anointing our Graduands from Redeemer’s University of All Nations (RUN) tonight.

But after they get their First (1st) Degree; after the celebration of the first (1st) week, they suddenly discover that if they were called Mister before, they are still Mister now. If they were Miss before, they are still Miss.

So they say, if I go for Ph.D then I can become Doctor. Then they get Ph.D – they are called Doctor.

They rejoice. Then they see a Watch Repairer who calls him: “Doctor of Watches”.

So they say, No, I better move forward and become a Professor.

And they become Professor. And then they rejoice for a while. Until they get to the filling station and find out that there is no difference between a Professor and a Taxi Driver (at the Petrol Station).

And they say Ok, what if I become a Vice Chancellor (VC)?

But everybody wants to go higher!

The single wants to be married; the married wants to have children; the mother of children would want to become grandmother.

In the Name that is above every other names: everyone of you here or reading shall be LIFTED – Amen!

As I spoke earlier on, I was speaking of sinners being in a hole.

But do you know that everyone is in one form of hole or the other?

Some are in PHYSICAL HOLE; they are not dead, but are one (1) leg alive and one (1) leg in the grave.

Some people are SOCIALLY in a hole – lonely, no friends!

Some are MARITALLY in hole – single or barren, or their marriage is hell on Earth.

Some people are MATERIALLY in a hole – no job, no money, many at times in debt.

Some are CAREER WISE in a hole – they have not had Promotion now for donkey years. Those who are their juniors have been Promoted above them.

Some are EMOTIONALLY in a hole – sad, depressed, afraid.

Some are SPIRITUALLY in a hole – backslidden and merely pretending.

Some are in more than one hole: Some are sick, and at the same time no friends, no Helpers, no Promotion, no wife/husband, no children, no job.

There are some people who are so deep in their hole now, that when you say Happy New Year, it means nothing to them.

But in the Name of the One who called me; no matter how deep your hole is, you are coming out tonight – Amen!

As I go ahead, when you need to write a Prayer Point, I will tell you, you will write it down. Because I will want you to do all the Praying together tonight.

1. Are you in a PHYSICAL HOLE? – There is someone who can pull you out.

In Mark 3:1-5 , the Bible talked about a man with a Withered Hand.

If a hand is Withered, there is nothing the owner of the hand can do about it. But there is Someone who can make the Withered hand WHOLE.

Have you an Incurable Disease?

In 2 Kings 5:1-14; there was nothing Naaman could do about Leprosy. With all his fame, with all his wealth, he was watching Helplessly as one finger after the other was drooping off.

But there is Someone who can Lift you out of the hole of an Incurable Disease:

When somebody hears the Doctor say: “there is nothing more we can do for you”, he looks for a chair to sit on, because he sees himself Sinking.

I Pray in the Name that is above every other names: if the Doctors have told you there is nothing more they can do; My Father will do something for you – Amen!

In John 12:39-44; when Jesus Christ got to the tomb of Lazarus, the sister said: “This hole is so deep, that even You, there is nothing you can do about it”.

Jesus Christ said, ‘Let us wait and see!’

He spoke a Word, and the man who had been dead four (4) days, came back to LIFE.

In Ezekiel 37:1-10; this God that I serve, can make even Dry Bones live again – He can do it!

There was a Testimony I heard when I was a young Christian; a boy had an accident, and they had to amputate his two (2) legs. And then he heard that a Man of God was Preaching somewhere that God is a Miracle Worker and that there is nothing He cannot do.

So he came to the Crusade. Somehow, God directed the attention of the Man of God to this boy.

… Ah, God will direct His attention to you today – Amen!

God spoke to the Man of God loud and clear; the Man of God HEARD. You know, occasionally when you hear what God is saying, unless you know it is God – It is difficult to announce.

The Man of God went down from the Altar, stood before the boy and said: “Young man, go and buy yourself a pair of shoes”. The boy looked at him: Are you mocking me? My two (2) legs are gone!

But the boy said, well, he came to me, out of all these crowd. And the boy went, bought a pair or shoes. Came the second (2nd) day, brought a pair of shoes, nothing happened. The third (3rd) day, nothing happened.

The final day of the Crusade, just as the Man of God said: In the Name of JESUS – Two (2) brand new legs, grew out!

… That God is still Alive TODAY – Amen.

I want you to write your PRAYER NO. 1. And that is: FATHER, RESTORE ME FULLY, TONIGHT!

Just restore me fully: if there is anything in my body that has gone, restore me fully tonight!

We have heard Testimonies here; we have heard Testimonies of people without wombs; people without Fallopian Tubes, giving birth to children.

That God has not changed; Cry to Him when the time comes: that He should restore you fully.

1. Are you in a MARTIAL HOLE?

Are you lonely, single? I have Good News for you:

Because according to Genesis 2: 18-23; God is the Original Match Maker.

Adam didn’t even know that he needed a wife – it was God’s Idea.

He said: “It is not a good thing for a man to be alone”; that he needed a wife!

… And you know what? He hasn’t CHANGED.

Malachi 3:6 says: “For I am the LORD, I Change not; therefore ye sons of Jacob are not consumed.”

How do I know He hasn’t Changed?

This is Good News for those of you who are yet to be married; because you may say, how am I going to have children if I am not even married?

Am believing God that before the end of the Year, you will sing a New Song – Amen!

In Genesis 24:1 to the end; the Bible tells us about how Abraham sent his servant to go and get a wife for Issac.

Isaac didn’t even know that his father had made the plan; but what I find so interesting about the story is that when the servant got to the well, he Prayed a Prayer:

Oh God of my Master Abraham, am going to sit by this well. Among all the maidens that will come here to fetch water: anyone that I will tell to give me a drink, that will say: I will give you water to drink, I will even give unto your camels; Let her be the one that You have chosen.

Read that Passage; before he finished Praying, the girl God had chosen, came – because God ARRANGED everything!

Whoever is going to be your Partner (sent from Heaven) in the Name that is above every other names, even before the end of this Month – that fellow will show up – Amen!

Or maybe you are married and you have been Trusting God for the Fruits of the womb and nothing has happened yet.

He wiped away the tears of Hannah – 1 Samuel 1:9-20; the Bible says, “Hannah wept sore”. But that was the last time she wept!

And I am believing God, that there is someone here or reading who has been weeping every Month; the last time you wept, that will be the last time you will ever weep – Amen!

In Genesis 18:9-14; when God said to Abraham that Sarah was going to have a son, Sarah Laughed! – It was a Laughter of Mockery.

By the time we got to Genesis 21, it was no longer a Laughter of Mockery. It was a “Laughter of Joy!”

… Because as we have been told, old age is no barrier to Him.

There are stories I can tell you; many of them you have heard, again and again. You have heard from some people here tonight, barren for ten (10) years; barren for eighteen (18) years; barren for twenty two (22) years.

I have told you before, of one of my daughters in Britain who was barren for thirty eight (38) years!

That God who answered all these people will answer you also – Amen.

And so, write down your PRAYER No. 2: And say: FATHER, PUT A NEW SONG OF JOY IN MY MOUTH THIS MONTH (be specific).

1. Are you in a MATERIAL HOLE? – Down to Nothing!

PROPHESIES:

1. Thank You Father! Daddy says: I carried Israel out of Egypt, on Eagle’s wings. I WILL CARRY YOU OUT.
2. Amen and Amen! Daddy asks me to tell someone; He said, Hannah asked for one (1) child, she ended up with six (6) children. He asks me to tell you: What I did for Hannah is what AM going to do for you!

In 1 Kings 17:8-16; the Widow of Zarephath was down to the last meal. But God was on time!

In 2 Kings 4:1-7; the other widow of the son of the Prophet was not even down to the last meal, the Creditors were closing in. They wanted to sell her children. Not just poor, but heavily in debt!

And some people are so heavily in debt, they don’t even know how they can EVER pay! There is Someone who can Lift you out of debt.

… That God is still here!

In 2 Kings 7:1-11; this God am talking about can Lift a SIEGE in less than twenty four (24) hours.

People were eating their children; when the Man of God spoke and said: by this time tomorrow, there will be Abundance!

Let me Decree in the life of someone, before you return next Month; you will be debt free!

How is it going to happen? Never you try to figure out God with your brain.

I have said is before, “Once He decides to do something, He will do it.

I will remind you the stories of one of my sons; I was at the University of Ilorin. I just moved from the University of Lagos. And they gave me a mansion; but it had so many electrical problems.

So this my son who was an Electrician came, and helped me fix everything. When he finished, I said Ok, how much am I going to pay? He said, Daddy how can I charge you? It is only one thing I want you to do for me: I don’t have money to travel back. I have nothing at all; just give me transport money, and Pray for me.

I gave him transport money, and I told him: you don’t need Prayer. I said: GOD WILL BLESS YOU.

You see, some people don’t understand, when I say God will bless you.

Many times when I am going for my walking at night, I will see some people running towards me. And I know they want help. And I will turn to them, lift my hands and say: God bless you.

They will say Amen, and still come – Pray for me!

When I say GOD BLESS YOU; that means the Almighty God will summon all the Forces in Heaven and on Earth to assist you.

… May God BLESS You!

So my son left Ilorin, took public transport, arrived somewhere there at Ebute Meta, Lagos. And as he was coming down from the bus, he saw a classmate that he had not seen for years. Hello, long time no see. What are you doing? Ah, am an Electrician; and you? Oh, am working at Dordan Barracks (The Former Military Barrack Base of Government of Nigeria before moving to Abuja).

Ah! That is very good. And the friend said to him; come and see me tomorrow.

He left me with “God Bless you” some hours ago. He arrived, met a friend he has not seen for a long time. That one said; see me at Dordan Barracks tomorrow. Two (2) weeks later when I saw my son, he was driving a brand new car.

Write down your PRAYER No. 3: FATHER, TURN THE TIDE FOR ME TONIGHT: this very moment, Turn the Tide for me. Pull me out of poverty on a permanent basis.

1. Are you in a Hole SOCIALLY?

Are you a Totals Failure? – The Almighty God can move you to a New Level today.

In Luke 5:1-11; Peter was a total failure – fished all night, caught nothing!

But within an hour, a Total Failure has been moved to a Totally New Level.

PROPHESY:

AH! Thank You Father. I want to say Amen to this one before I tell you; because Daddy says there is someone here, who will very soon say: Lord, I have ENOUGH.

… I don’t know ENOUGH of want!

… Maybe enough of children, maybe enough of children, maybe enough of health.

Somebody will soon say: Lord, I HAVE ENOUGH.

If you are that one, let me hear you shout Hallelujah – Hallelujah!

In Genesis 26:1-14; it was in the midst of a famine (serious famine) that Isaac became the ENVY of a Nation.

Years ago, when I was studying that part of the Scriptures, God pointed out something to me and said: STARS are seen only in the Night.

When everything is dark, that is when Stars begin to shine.

I Prophesy to someone today; irrespective of what the Economy of your Nation may be saying, you will SHINE – Amen!

In 2 Samuel 6:9-13; the Bible tells us a story. David was about to bring the Ark of the Covenant into Jerusalem. An accident happened on the way, somebody touched the Ark (that shouldn’t touch it) and died. And David said, Ah! I can’t take the Ark of the Covenant into my house.

So he took it to the house of Obededom; if he will die, let him die. It doesn’t matter! Obededom was nobody. But within three (3) months, Obededom became the talk of the town.

As the Lord Lives; there is somebody here or reading: before December, you will become famous.

You know it takes only one (1) Miracle; just one (1) Miracle for you to become known.

And by the Grace of God, next Month I will bring that my daughter here – let her come and tell her story herself. Am sure you read about her; who just went Witnessing, and then Miracles began to happen.

And it took Policemen to rescue her from those who want to TOUCH her!

When she woke up that morning, she didn’t know she was going to be the talk of the Town.

And that God who did that one for her, will surprise you also – Amen!

I have told you the story of one (1) of my sons (well, I have told some people). When he was very young (small Boy) he would come to Church at Ebute Meta, and give me one Naira (N1) every Sunday. And as little as he was, he would Prophesy: “Daddy, one day I will buy you a Jet”.

And I will say AMEN! Touch him on the head; God bless you my son!

… You are going to buy me a Jet with one Naira (N1)?

Then after some time, I didn’t see him for while. Where is my one Naira (N1) Boy? He has grown, and left!

And one day, after one Program in London; he came – “Do you remember me?”

The face looks familiar, but…. Oh! Am your one Naira (N1) Boy.

How are you? – He said “am not able to buy you a Jet yet, but I have a gift for you”.

I said, Good! Where is the gift?

He said, you have to come outside and see.

Ok, what kind of gift is this that cannot be carried into my office?

I went outside and I saw, a Mercedes X Class.

… He said: “Am on my way!”

There is somebody here tonight or reading; everything your heart desires to do for God, God will make it easier for you – Amen!

Write down your PRAYER No. 4: FATHER, TURN MY LIFE TO A MAJOR TESTIMONY.

But then, like I said; there are some people….

PROPHESY:

Thank You Father! Lord says there is someone here today or reading, He says from now on, on a daily basis – I will draw you closer and closer and closer to me.

… Hmmm! That must be me!

1. There are some peoole in many holes; not just one (1)? – Like the Man in John 5:2-9;

He is the man who has been sick, by the Pool of Bethesda, for thirty eight (38) years.

If a man has been sick for thirty eight (38) Years, he is in a HOLE.

Particularly because there was no doctor who could heal him, any way!

That is why he was at the Pool for thirty eight (38) Years waiting for someone to help him.

It doesn’t matter how long you have been sick, how bad the sickness. There’s someone called the Great Physician. His Name is JESUS: He can single you OUT of a crowd, like He did for that man (age He healed him).

The man was not only in the Physical Hole, he was in a Material Hole (He hasn’t worked for thirty eight (38) years).

So you know he must be begging for food.

He was lonely – he was in a Social Hole. He said, I have no help. Nobody to help me. Nobody needs to tell you that he had no wife.

In a single moment, no matter how many Holes are yours; the Almighty God can pull you out from them all – Amen.

He can Silence your Mockers. Because one of the beautiful things about the story of Sarah is in Genesis 16:1-4.

When she discovered that she wasn’t bearing children for Abraham, she asked Abraham to take the House Help.

And the Bible says as soon as that happened, the House Help took in for Abraham and she began to MOCK Sarah – See the difference between you the Mistress of the house and I; a Bond woman. Look at my belle.

… But when God made Sarah laughed; the Mockers ceased.

Everyone who has been Mocking you, will soon be celebrating with you – Amen.

Am sure you will remember the story of one (1) man; we went to Akure (Ondo State, Nigeria) for a Congress.

We finished the Congress, and everybody was going home. We were rejoicing we had a Wonderful time!

And there was this man who blocked my way. I said, sir, we have finished. He said, you are not going anywhere! You must hear my problem. Ok, what is your problem?

He was a fairly rich man – he had a Factory. But for one reason or the other, all the Engine in the Factory broke down. Everything they could do to start them failed.

So, he ran into debt! He became so heavily in debt that when his friends saw him coming, they ran. They ran, because they are not asking for what he owed them; they are running so that he won’t be able to borrow more.

And then, things got so bad, there was no food in the house, and no food for the children. At a stage, the wife could no longer take it. Because the children were always crying for food. And the wife became mentally derailed. So they had to take her to one local herbalist for treatment because the husband had no money to take her to any hospital.

… He said, “that’s my story!”

I said, in that case stretch out your hands. He stretched out his hands. I laid my hands on his hands, and I prayed!

When you get home, lay the hands on whatever is dead.

He went home, laid the hands on the machines, they began to WORK.

Ah! This thing is working. He ran to where the wife was, he laid his hands on the wife. The wife jerked as if someone was waking her up from sleep, and said “what am I doing here?”

The next time I saw him, he was driving a brand new car.

Today, he is the Traditional Head of his Town.

… From ZERO, the Almighty God moved him to the Throne!

Write down your next PRAYER Point 5 (if you can see), if not; just remember it. And it is: FATHER, JUST LIFT ME UP INTO GLORY, USING ANY METHOD THAT YOU WANT.

And now, LIFTING IS IN CATEGORIES; because HOLES are in Categories.

When you look at Genesis 30:1-2; and then verses 23-24. We have the case of Husband is YOUNG and wife is YOUNG. It’s just that the wife could not conceive. So the two (2) of them are young. Their own hole was not very deep.

By the time you get to 2 Kings 4:8-17; the husband is OLD, it is the wife who is not to old. The husband was old. So their own Hole was deeper than the case of husband is young, wife is yong.

In Genesis 18:9-14; the case of Abraham and Sarah – husband was OLD, The wife also was OLD. Their own Hole was deeper still.

And then in Luke 7:12-16; the husband was DEAD, and the only son of the family was DEAD. And that is as Deeper as they could go!

But, there is Someone with the Everlasting Arm; no matter how DEEP your Hole may be, He will bring you UP.

I don’t want to tell you many stories tonight, because I want to give you time to pray. Because you will be Praying in a moment.

So I want you to write down the next PRAYER POINT 6. And that is: FATHER, PROVE YOUR ALMIGHTINESS IN MY LIFE TONIGHT.

PROPHESY

Thank You Father!

There was a song we used to sing; and we have not been singing it recently. Some of you may know it:

SONG:

Wonder so, so
Wonder so, so
Wonder wey Jesus dey do for me/2ce

… How many of you know that Song? You need to learn it!

Because God says, by this time next Year, that is the SONG somebody will be singing.

Jeremiah 32:27; the Bible says: The Almighty God asked a question. He said: “Behold, I am the LORD, the God of all flesh: is there any thing too HARD for me?”

So in the Name that is above every other names, your own will not be too hard for God.

That is why your PRAYER POINT 7 will be: GOD PROVE YOUR ALMIGHTINESS IN MY LIFE.

… Let me CONCLUDE, so you can PRAY!

Those who came to the DIVINE ENCOUNTER on Monday, I told them the story in 2 Kings 4:1-7 (it will be a Good Idea if you get the Tape or read the full Text of the Message of DMC Page – www.discoverymediacrew.com.

But the Point I made for them there is this: if somebody falls into a Hole (Deep Hole) and he can’t get out by himself; the first thing that fellow nerds to do is CRY. Cry until somebody can hear.

Because if you are in a Hole and you keep quiet, somebody could be passing by, they won’t even know you are in the Hole.

After the fellow had cried, and somebody has heard. The fellow can come and look down, Ah! There’s somebody down there. Ok, hold on, I will come and help you.

And then he goes to get a Rope. And throws the Rope down to you. And then he will tell you what to do with the Rope: He may say tie the Rope round your waste two (2) times; do it this way, do it that way, and then hold on – So that I can pull you out.

I said after you have cried, and somebody who wants to help you has heard, you must HEARKEN diligently to what he says – listen to the Instruction that he gives. And then do EXACTLY as he says.

… You must pay attention to DETAILS.

That Widow of the Son of the Prophet; she was told in detail: Go, borrow empty vessels, borrow not a few, shut the door on you and your sons. Begin to pour out the oil. And set aside that which is full.

… She followed the details!

And I told them; maybe you heard some people clapping when they said it’s Offering Time! They learnt it on Monday.

I told them a story of when I went to a Church somewhere Abroad. As soon as I entered the Church, I knew, God has blessed these people. Everyone there, they were all looking Prosperous.

And I was wondering, are we not serving the same God?

The Service went on. And as soon as they said Offering Time! They all began to rejoice. They all began to clap.

And God spoke to me and said, you see; that is their Secret. They are not treating me as a Beggar.

… Because He said in His word, God loves a “Cheerful Giver”.

Among my people, when they say it is Offering Time! They say, oh God, they have come again.

No, No, No! These people got excited! They began to clap, they began to shout. They were rejoicing.

… God said, they are not treating me as a Beggar.

DETAILS! … And then Finally, that woman came back to Testify.

There are many of us here who have many Testimonies. And we have never shared one.

That is why God is not LIFTING US HIGHER.

Because when God gives you a Miracle, and you keep quiet about it, then there is no need for Him to give you a second one.

And yet, we can go much higher than were we are.

There is nobody among us who is already too high.

I believe deeply within me, that the Almighty God choose this particular Theme at the beginning of our New Year, because He has made up His mind to Promote some people.

Who will be the first to be Promoted? – The DMC FAMILY Members!

Let me hear you shout Hallelujah – Hallelujah!

So your Last PRAYER POINT 8 will be: FATHER, HEAR MY CRY TONIGHT!

Because if He hears your CRY, and He drops His Rope to you. By the time He is pulling you out; because His Arms are Everlasting, He will just keep Lifting You, and Lifting you; and Lifting you!

I have given the illustration before; if a man is the one lifting you, how High he can Lift you is determined by how talk he is.

How high this Tambourine can go, is determined by how tall I am. If I like, I go on my toe to lift it higher. But after some time, my toes will be paining me. And I will begin to go down.

After some time, my hands will be heavy and then the Tambourine will go down.

After some time, if am tired of standing, I will go and sit down. And Tambourine will be going down.

But if God is the One lifting you; you will be going higher, and higher and higher; until you get into Glory.

When you get into Glory, you will discovered that Glory is in Categories: There is a Category of the Glory of the Sun; there is a Category of the Glory of the Moon; there is a Category of the Glory of the Stars.

… And Stars even differ from Stars in Glory.

So it doesn’t matter how higher you are now, you can go higher still.

The Altar is open; am going to give you twenty (20) minutes. Because all your PRAYER POINTS are going to be taken together now. Come and CRY to God!

The PRAYER of tonight is not the Prayer of Ladies and Gentlemen: A man who is in a Hole must Cry loud and clear. So that the one who can help him would hear the cry.

… Thank You Jesus! Let us begin to bring our Prayer to a Close.

In Jesus Mighty Name we have Prayed – Amen!

GO DECREE:

The Almighty God will hear your Cry. He will Restore you fully. Whatever may be the Hole you are in, He will bring you out. He will lift you so high, your enemies will not be able to touch you.

From now on, you will be far above Sickness; Far above Disease; Far above Barrenness; Far above Failure; Far above Defeat.

Even the height you never dreamt you can reach, God will take you higher than that. He will hear your cry; and He will answer you by Fire.

So shall it be, in Jesus Mighty Name we have Prayed – Amen!

Let someone shout Hallelujah – Hallelujah!
