… Well, let someone shout Hallelujah – Hallelujah.
Well, I was thinking that when we have Youth Convention, the Hallelujah will be louder than the Ordinary Time. You tried but I cannot fully understand.
You see, at times when you are used to something; when something is happening again and again and again; there is tendency to begin to become familiar. We have been hearing Testimonies here tonight of the dead being raised, of the womb that was cut off being restored – I don’t understand.
I mean we saw that “Tiny girl” that God used to open blind eyes, made the lame to walk, made the dumb to speak.
We saw that and yet …
Well let me now hear you shout Hallelujah – Hallelujah!
God bless you; you may please be seated except those born in the Month of October.
If you are born in the Month of October, let me hear you shout Hallelujah – Hallelujah!
PRAYERS FOR OCTOBER BIRTHDAY CELEBRANTS
Father, to You am commuting all Your children born in the Month of October into Your Hands.
October, the tenth (10th) Month of the Year is the Month of “Double Grace”.
And so for all these Your children am asking for Double Promotion, Double Anointing, Double Grace, Double Favour, Double Testimonies and a Closer Walk with God.
Let it be well with them and let their New,Year be Superior to the previous ones.
In Jesus Mighty Name we have Prayed – Amen.
Well let me hear another shout of Hallelujah from them all – Hallelujah!
Please be seated.
ANNOUNCEMENT FROM THE OCTOBER 2019 HOLY GHOST SERVICE
- Next Month (November, 2019) by the Special Grace of God; we will be dealing with the last Part of “Swimming in Glory” and the Theme will be: “A TASTE OF WATER”
You see, the Bible says that if a tree is dead and dried up and hope lost for the tree. If it can just taste water again; suddenly it comes back alive.
I want you to tell the fellow next to you: Don’t write me off yet. Oh, this Year has not yet ended.
… So next Month (November, 2019), we will be talking about: “A TASTE OF WATER”
- The Congress (Holy Ghost Congress) of course is coming from 9th to 14th of December.
And the Theme is: “THE GREAT TURN AROUND”
And the Congress this Year (2019) will be so extraordinary that my Daddy has told me to tell you: You missed this one, you probably has missed all.
So, I sought His Face. He asked me to declare the whole Month of November 2019 as a “Month of Fasting”
Clapping in the Audience.
Am happy that you are happy because you know what that one mean – At the end of it all; the Almighty God will do something the whole world has never seen before.
… So, the Month of November, 2019: 1st to 30th of the Month is Daily Fasting.
And those of you who wants to do their own as Night and Day; if you do it for ten (10) Days none stop that will be ok – ten (10) Days and ten (10) Night rolled together.
But get ready for “The Great Turn Around”.
… Let me hear somebody shout Hallelujah – Hallelujah!
Now, since this is a Youth Convention; I feel that I should use the opportunity to introduce you to a friend of mine.
This friend of mine is a Mathematician. And because most of you are in the University and Secondary Schools but some of you like to run away from Mathematics.
But this friend of mine is a Mathematician as well as a Christian too and so quote Bible.
And he thinks that every situation in Life can be reduced into Mathematics Formula.
So, when he was talking to me not too long ago and he said some very interesting things – he is a very funny man. If you know him, you might think that he is a Genius but you might not be too sure.
He was saying something like this: He said that when you put your money in the bank, the bank is supposed to pay you Interest – Is that correct?
He said if you put your money in the bank and the bank does not give you Interest; the bank is a “Thief”.
He said that if you now put your money in the bank and the bank does not give you Interest but charges you; He said that the bank is a “Thief Squared” – Do you agree?
He said, if you now go back to the bank and said haha, what is the Problem; I brought in my money, you didn’t give me Interest instead you took part of my money therefore I want to take all my money away. And again, the bank take part of your money.
Ah, he said the bank is now a “Thief Cubed”.
… That is the kind of person that I am talking about so that you can know that he is very funny.
But he was talking to me about something very serious. And he said: “Jesus Christ was a Mathematician” and that He is very, very Good in Calculus.
How many of you know a little bit of Mathematics?
Alright, I know many of you will do because we are talking to Youths and Young Adults.
So, I said is that so?
He said, oh He (Jesus Christ) is very good in Calculus. He said that He gave one of the biggest formula in INTEGRAL CALCULUS”
And I was wondering where that is in the Bible.
He said that it is in Matthew 10:40.
That is where Jesus Christ said: He who receives you, receives Me and he who receives Me receives Him that sent Me.
He said that he who receives you receives me is “Single Integration”.
He who receives Me receives Him that sent Me then becomes a “Double Integration”.
… I said I see!
Now, when he begins to talk like that; it is not long before you begin to hear him talk about “Corollary”.
Those of you who are students you know what Corollary is? – Something that follows from what I have just said.
He said that if he who receives you receives Me and he who receives Me receives Him that sent Me. Then Corollary is that: He that rejects you reject Me and he that rejects Me, rejects Him that sent Me.
… Do you agree? I think that is a Simple Logic.
And then he went on to Corollary 2: He says that he who attacks you, attacks Me and he who attacks Me, attacks Him that sent Me.
Do you agree with that?
So he went on to Corollary 3: And he said that since Jesus Christ was talking about the One who sent Him (God The Father) and the Bible says in Hebrews 12:29 that God is a ‘Consuming Fire’. He said that Jesus Christ is saying therefore: He who messes with you, messes with Me and he who messes with Me messes with ‘The Consuming Fire’.
Ah, I said I see!
Then he quoted again in Hebrews 10:31 that: ‘It is a FEARFUL thing to fall into the Hands of the Living God’.
He said that the reason why it is a ‘Fearful Thing’ to fall into the Hands of God is because God is a ‘Consuming Fire’. And that the Fire of God burns quietly.
He said that anytime you hear Fire burning somewhere – if you hear any noise at all; it is not the Fire that is burning, it is the things that the Fire is burning that will be making the noise.
He said that the reason why it is a “Fearful Thing” to fall into the Hands of the Living God is that God fights quietly.
That many at times when God is fighting somebody; the Person will not even know until it is too late.
And he said that one thing about Fire is that it burns irreversibly. And that there is no Science that can change ashes back to wood.
That when God fights, whatever He destroys can NEVER be Restored.
… Tell your neighbour: Don’t mess with me.
This is my friend and I will tell you many other things he says in the Future if I have the opportunity.
This my friend loves some Big English. Anybody who agrees with him he will say that Person is Concentric. Anybody who disagrees with him, he will say that the fellow is Eccentric.
So, next time that I see him; if he ask me what kind of People do you talk to? I will want to know.
… Now those of you who agree with him; those of you who are Concentric – I want you to say Hi.
Those of you who disagrees with him, who are Eccentric – I want you to say Nay.
… Ah the Hi have it!
Let somebody shout Hallelujah – Hallelujah!
Happy Convention. Glory be to God forevermore – Amen!!!
APPRECIATIONS TO ZONAL YOUTH PRESENTATION
Let me thank the Almighty God for my children who has Ministered tonight – they were very Good.
The first fellow started us on a Great Bible Study Journey. He loaded us with Bible Passages upon Bible Passages.
Am beginning to think that anytime we come to the time the Youths will be making their Presentations; it is like we are coming for a “Bible College”. Within a short period of time, he just keep on loading us. Glory be to God. Let us give the Lord a big round of applause for him.
Then I have to jump the second Person.
And then go to the third one. The third fellow also carried on and just adding more and more to our “Store of Knowledge” – Beautiful Presentation. Let us give the Lord a round of applause.
And then the forth fellow came and oh what a beauty. Showing us lines upon lines, precepts upon precepts for the Power and Glory of God. I am amazed and am very Pleased.
And then came this little girl (2nd Fellow). Oh, Glory be to God. When I saw her going to the Pulpit, I was wondering that you mean in the whole Zone they could only find a girl? Only to discover that Great Miracles come in little Packages.
… Oh mine, that was amazing. After she finished Preaching, we could easily have gone home. We were blessed. At least I was seriously blessed.
Let’s give the Lord a big round of applause for all these my wonderful children. God bless you all.
And all the Choirs did excellently well. So Glory be to God – Hallelujah!
BIBLE TEXT: MATTHEW 6: 9-13
9. After this manner therefore pray ye: Our Father which Art in Heaven, Hallowed be thy Name.
10. Thy Kingdom come, Thy Will be done in Earth; as it is in Heaven.
11. Give us this Day our daily bread.
12. And forgive us our debts, as we forgive our debtors.
13. And lead us not into Temptation, but deliver us from evil: For thine is the Kingdom and the Power and the Glory, for ever, Amen
But as usual, let us use some few minutes to talk to those who are yet to give their lives to Jesus Christ.
In 1 Timothy 1:17; it is written: Now unto the King Eternal, Immortal, Invisible, the Only Wise God; the Honour and Glory for ever and ever, Amen.
Without any doubt, God is Powerful. Even His enemies will agree.
I mean Psalms 91:1 tells us that: He that dwelleth in the Secret Place of the Most High shall abide under the Shadow of the Almighty.
How God is Almighty, we don’t need to argue that.
He Himself said that I am the God of all Flesh, is anything too hard for me?
But He is not only Powerful, He is also the All Wise.
Daniel 2:20 says that Wisdom and Might are His – That is, He is the Owner of Wisdom.
The same Daniel 2:21 says that: He gives Wisdom to the Wise.
So, if anybody thinks that He is Wise, he got the Wisdom from God.
Now the interesting thing that I want to point out to those of us who are yet to know Him intimately is that the Wisdom of God controls His Power – He is the Almighty and He is also the All Wise
His Wisdom controls His Power. So at times, when you are expecting Him to behave in a certain manner with all the Power at His Disposal and He does it in a different manner because His Wisdom controls His Power.
For example in Daniel 3: 13-30; when they are binding Shadrach, Meshach and Abednego; they are bound to throw them into the Fiery Furnace. God could have thundered from Heaven and destroy the King and all His men. Instead, He kept watching until they were thrown into the flames.
Why? – His Wisdom was at work because He knows that at the end He will get greater Glory.
When you look at Acts 5: 17-25 and you compare it with Acts 12:1-11; you will discovered that He has the Power to release anybody from any Prison anytime.
But on one occasion, he allowed James to be killed before He now moved in to rescue Peter – His Wisdom controls His Power.
And His Glory (Glory of God) is embedded in His Wisdom.
The Passage that I read to you says: Unto the God who is Eternal, who is Immortal, who is Invisible, the Only Wise God, be Honour and Glory, for ever and ever.
His Wisdom controls His Power, His Glory is in His Wisdom.
And so like I told some of you who are on ground yesterday – those of you who has not been here since the Convention began; I will encourage you to get all the Tapes because this Year’s Convention has been tremendous.
Wisdom is what brings Glory, just as foolishness is what brings shame – Proverbs 3:35.
So, if you are Wise; so sooner or later, you will inherit Glory.
Proverbs 3:35 says: The Wise shall inherit Glory but Shame shall be the Promotion of Fools.
The question then is: Who is a Fool?
1. Psalms 14:1 says: The Fool has said in his heart there is no God.
That is one definition of a Fool.
But the Bible has other definitions for Fools.
2. Proverbs 14:9 says: A Fool makes mock at sin.
He thinks that sin is a joking matter. So, if you think that sin is a joking matter then you are a Fool.
And you could be highly educated and still be a Fool. Because I remember those days before I became Born Again. As a Lecturer, we seems to celebrate sin. When we return from the weekend, we begin to share stories about how many girls we conquered, about how we got drunk over the weekend etc.
We thought sin was fun. You could have a Ph.D and still be a Fool.
- The Bible says in Proverbs 10:23 that a Fool thinks that it is a Sport to do mischief.
That continuing in sin to a Fool is like a Sport.
The question that I want you to ask yourself my sons and daughters is: Am I am a Fool? Am I toying with sin? Am I treating sin as a Sport?
If you are a Fool, you can leave the Company of Fools tonight.
You heard the Testimony of someone here tonight – I thought everybody will be standing up and shouting. Somebody used to be in the Occults. Who used to be in one Cult or the other. He said that he used to do killings – he enjoyed doing it until he met with the Lord Jesus Christ.
Are you a Fool? Are you in one of the Cults? Do you think that it is fun?
You can get out tonight – Leave the companies of Fools and join the Society of the Wise.
It is only the Wise who will come to Jesus Christ and He will use His Divine Power to wipe away all your sins.
The Bible says that there is enough Power in His Blood to wash away all sins.
In 1 John 1:7; the Bible says that the Blood of Jesus Christ cleanses from all sins.
There is enough Power in Jesus Christ to make everything New for you.
In 2 Corinthian 5:17; the Bible makes it clear: If any man be in Christ, he is a New Creature; Old things has passed away behold all things has become New.
So, am appealing to you tonight; if you have not yet surrendered your life to Jesus Christ, leave the Societies of Fools; come and join the Companies of the Wise ones.
Those of us who has given our lives to Jesus Christ; we look back and we regret our foolish days. You too can begin anew tonight.
ALTAR CALL
I am going to count from one (1) to ten (10); If you want to surrender your life to Jesus Christ before I say ten (10) come and stand before me. We will Pray for the Salvation of your soul, the Almighty God will forgive all your sins and everything will become New for you.
… So am counting now!
Now, those of you in the Old Arena and those of you far away; you better begin to run to the front because I will count fast because we are running out of time.
Oh, the choice is yours. You can stay in the Society of Fools and inherit shame or you can join the Society of the Wise and inherit Glory.
Now, Jesus Christ is not begging you to clap for Him. So if you want to do it, do it as if you want to really want to do it.
Just like one of my boys told you: When Christ is in you; it is then you have the Hope of Glory. When you allow Him to come to you, when you become His Sanctuary, then you can begin to experience His Power and Glory.
Ok, those if you who are on the way, don’t wait – Keep coming and those of you who are already in front talk to the Almighty God: Ask Him to have Mercy on you, ask Him to save your souls, ask Him to forgive all your sins. Promised Him that from now on, you will be serving Him and you will be obeying His Instructions.
And the rest of us, let us stretch our hands towards these People and intercede for them.
Pray that the One who save our souls will save their own souls too also. Pray that the Blood of Jesus Christ wash away their sins. Let us Pray for them and intercede for them.
And those of you on the Way keep coming; you are not late yet. Have not yet said ten (10). So keep coming. Ask God to have Mercy on you and to save your soul.
Let intercede for them Brethren and Pray for them that the Almighty God, the One who save your soul will save theirs also.
Thank You Father, Thank You Jesus.
If you are still coming; you have to hurry up now because am about to Pray for Salvation.
In Jesus Mighty Name we have Prayed – Amen.
PRAYER FOR SALVATION
Saviour, we just want to say Thank You: Thank You for Your Words and Thank You for these People who has responded to the Altar Call. Please Lord, save their souls in Jesus Name. Let Your Blood wash away their sins, write their names in the Book of Life and from this moment Lord, anytime they call on You, please answer them by Fire. And don’t let them ever backslide. In Jesus Mighty Name we have Prayer – Amen.
Now those of you in front and those of you who are still on the Way, the Prayer is also for you too – so keep coming.
Those of you who are in front; I rejoice with you because from now on, by the Grace of God I will be Praying for you.
So, am going to need your names, your address and your Prayer Request. The Counsellors will give you some cards which I want you to fill very quickly and return to them.
I Promise you that I will be Praying for you.
… CONGRATULATIONS!
We will wait for you to finish before we continue.
PART TWO (2):
Thank you Counsellors; God bless you! Thank you Musicians!
We are talking about “HIS POWER AND GLORY”.
The Bible has several ways of describing God.
If you read Psalms 91; after He said in verse 1 “He that dwelleth in the Secret Place of the Most High shall abide under the Shadow of the Almighty.”
He went on in the 4th verse, He said “He shall cover thee with His feathers, and under His wings shalt thou trust:”
What does that mean?
Does that mean that God is like a bird? I mean, if you study the Bible very well; if you go on and on, you will know.
He said He carried the children of Israel on Eagle’s Wings.
The Bible says when the Holy Spirit descended, He came like a Dove.
And every bird flies with two (2) wings – the left wing and the right wing.
That is what we are talking about – The Two (2) Wings of God: “HIS POWER AND GLORY”.
Now, Jesus said something in John 11:40 “Jesus saith unto her, Said I not unto thee, that, if thou wouldest believe, thou shouldest see the GLORY OF GOD?”
You want to see the GLORY OF GOD? – Believe! You want to experience the POWER OF GOD? – Believe!
Because when we are talking about the POWER of God, you know, my children have given you so many definitions: Ability, Capability (they used some very big words).
The Bible says in Mark 9:23 “Jesus said unto him, If thou canst believe, all things are Possible to him that believeth.”
That means: you want to demonstrate the POWER of God? – Believe! You want to see the GLORY of God? – Believe!
That means the Central Requirement to enjoy the Power of God and the Glory of God is FAITH.
Let me remind you, that God is not a talkative. Psalms 62:11 says: “God hath spoken once; twice have I heard this; that Power belongeth unto God.”
God doesn’t waste Words; He doesn’t have to repeat Himself for anything to happen. Like one of my children said:
“If God says what is Red should be White; it will become White!”
After all He said, “Let there be Light and there was Light!’
When He repeats Himself, it means what He is about to say is very important. Like in John 3:3 Jesus answered and said unto him, Verily, Verily, I say unto thee,
… What He said after that one, has been shaking the world ever since.
“Except a man be born again, he cannot see the Kingdom of God.”
When He repeats Himself, it means the matter is serious.
If He should repeat Himself three (3) times, then you know the issue is at a critical point. Like in Joshua 1:1-8; three (3) times He said to Joshua “Be strong and of a good courage”.
When He said it the third (3rd) time, there was a bit anger in His voice: “Have I not commanded you?”
But four (4) Times? Like I have told some of you before; four (4) times God Himself, saying “The Just shall live by FAITH” – Habakkuk 2:4; Romans 1:17; Galatians 3:21 and Hebrews 10:38.
“The Just shall live by FAITH”. He kept on hammering “FAITH”.
So, for you to enjoy HIS POWER AND GLORY, you must have “FAITH”.
Hebrews 11:6 says: ‘For without FAITH it is impossible to Please God”.
So am going to approach the Topic from that angle that: “THERE ARE TWO (2) KINDS OF FAITH”.
- There is one which I will love to call “THE POWER FAITH”;
- And the second (2nd) I will love to call “THE GLORY FAITH”.
My Prayer is that, before you leave here tonight, you will be flying with BOTH WINGS!
2.POWER FAITH: That is the Faith that is Dynamic, Aggressive, Miracles working, Mountain Moving.
That is the Power Faith! (And I will show you in a moment). That is the kind of Faith that moves mountain!
2. And then there is the GLORY FAITH: The Glory Faith is the one that is Restful, Submissive.
It is the kind of Faith that will say like Shadrach Meshach and Abednego said in Daniel 3:16-18 “Our God whom we serve is able to deliver us; and if He does not, we are still with Him – We won’t bow!
Now, POWER FAITH, according to 1 Corinthians 12:8-11; the Bible says there are Nine (9) Gifts – Nine (9) Principal Gifts of the Holy Spirit.
And these Nine (9) Gifts can be put in three (3) Categories: There is what we call the VOCAL GIFTS (Tongues, Interpretation of Tongues and Prophecy).
… They are called the VOCAL Gifts because they have to do with speaking!
Then we have what we call the REVELATION GIFTS – the Gifts that come as a result of Revelations from Heaven.
These are: Word of Wisdom, Word of Knowledge and Discerning of Spirits.
… Now, I don’t have time to take them one by one.
But when we talk about Word of Wisdom, we are talking about you having a difficult situation, and God gives you just the right word to say.
You remember the time when they asked Jesus Christ whether they should pay Tax or not? And He said ‘bring me the Coin – whose description is this?’ They said ‘Caesar!’ He said, “give unto Caesar what belongs to Caesar; and to God what belongs to God”.
… That is a Word of Wisdom – it puts the enemies to shame!
The Word of Knowledge is when you hear ‘there’s someone here..’ And God releases a Word. And you are sitting down there, and you know, there is no way the Man of God can possibly know what you are passing through.
That, that information can only come from Heaven! It is called Word of Knowledge.
And then, there is what is called Discerning of Spirits. And that is the ability to know then difference between Spirits; ability to know the difference between Angels and Demons.
… They are called ‘Revelation Gifts’.
And then the last Group is called “The POWER GIFTS.
In the Power Gifts are:
No. 1 FAITH; No. 2 Healing and No. 3. The Working of Miracles.
So there is FAITH that is the GIFT of the Holy Spirit – A POWER Gift!
POWER GIFT (if you call it that) is Acting for: it can be violent, it cannot be stopped.
For example in Mark 2:1-12; four (4) boys brought a man to Jesus Christ. When they got to where He was, there was no room by the door; there was no room by the window.
But their Faith says: “Nothing is stopping us; we must get our Miracles! So they climbed the roof and broke it open.
… They were violent; but they went home with their Miracle.
That kind of Faith that will get a breakthrough, no matter the obstruction; receive it today, in Jesus’ Name – Amen!
That is the kind of Faith that, that Lady had – who had the Issue of Blood in Mark 5:25-34.
If you read the story very well, when she came to Jesus, there was a crowd. She had to pressed her way through the crowd. She said “No crowd is stopping me: I MUST GET MY MIRACLES”.
… And she got it!
In the Name that is above every other names; before you leave here today, you too will get your own Miracle – Amen!
It reminds me the Story of a Lady (I have told you before); I was in the US – we were having a Program: a Holy Ghost Service like this.
And they brought a Trailer – you know, one of this long Buses, where you can go in and sit down: they had chairs there.
That is what they put near the Venue so I can sit down there and Pray. And they surround the place with some hefty Bodyguards: so that nobody will disturb me.
It was time for me to to and minister; and there was a woman somewhere (not too far away). She wasn’t looking in my direction – so nobody expected any trouble from her.
As I came out of the Bus and was going towards the Altar: since nobody seemed to be interested in me, the Bodyguards were not paying attention.
As soon as I moved away from the Bus, she ran violently; before anybody could see her – she had already entered the Bus and sat on the seat where I was sitting. Then the Bodyguards went in to pull her out.
… She said “you are too late; I have already received what I wanted!”
She was barren – she just wanted to seat on that chair – She did! And that Month she became pregnant.
Everything that you need to get from God; that Power Faith that will make it available to you today – Receive in right now, in Jesus’ Name – Amen.
Now, there is GLORY FAITH:
That is the Faith that will say…; let me show you where you can find it in the Bible – Galatians 5:22-23.
It is another kind of Faith; it is the Faith that is in the same Category as: Love, Joy, Peace ….
PROPHESY:
Thank You Father! Oh, Thank You Father!
The Lord says I should tell someone here (He says the fellow will understand). He asks me to tell you “No weeping this Month”.
In Galatians 5:22-23; there is a kind of Faith that is in the same Club as: Love, Joy, Peace, Long suffering, Gentleness, Goodness.
… There is nothing aggressive about it at all.
It is the kind of Faith that will say: It does not matter what is happening, my God is on the Throne! It is the kind of Faith that will say like Job – ‘I know my Redeemer liveth’.
It is the kind of Faith that will say like Shadrach, Meshach and Abednego ‘Oh, the God I serve is able to deliver me’ – It doesn’t matter what is happening, He’s able!
It is the kind of Faith that will say like in Psalms 31:15; “My times are in Your hands oh Lord”.
It is the kind of Faith that will say like the Lord Jesus Christ Himself in Matthew 26:37-42: “Thy Will be Done!”
Oh! It is easy to operate in the POWER Faith; It takes Maturity yo operate in the GLORY Faith.
It is the kind of Faith that we read about in Acts 16:16-26; when they threw Paul and Silas into Prison – and they knew that by the following morning they might want to bring them forward and kill them.
They still were singing in the Prison. That is the kind of Faith! We call it the GLORY FAITH.
It is the kind of Faith that can sleep in a storm.
In Mark 4:35-41; there was a storm, and Jesus was sleeping.
I have told you the Story before about what happened the first time I traveled on a Cruise, and there was a storm. And everything was terribly violent.
The whole sky was dark, the ocean was throwing the Ship up like a toy. The Captain called everybody together and said:
Don’t worry, there are twelve (12) Categories of Storm. Category 1 being the smallest; category 12 the highest. Don’t worry, we are only in Category 10.
And I was saying to myself, Oh God, what am I doing here? The biggest river in my village, I can jump over it. What am I doing on an ocean?
So they told everybody – Go to your rooms, stay there. Don’t worry!
LORD! What do I do? He said to me; son, when I was here on Earth and there was a storm, what was I doing? I said; they said You were sleeping. He said to: SLEEP!
Oh Lord God Almighty; am saying to somebody here today; it doesn’t matter how BIG the storm: Relax! Your tomorrow will be alright – Amen.
Each time I tell the Story, people say: You mean you slept? Oh! As soon as He said ‘Sleep!” I jumped on my bed; within a minute I was far gone!
When I woke up, we were already at the Port – everything was quiet!
How could you sleep in such a situation? What am I going to do; jump out of the Boat? I don’t even know how to swim – want to jump in an ocean.
That is the kind of Faith that says: My life is in the Hands of the Almighty God that is not going to fail.
How many of you believe that God will never fail you? Let me hear you shout a big Hallelujah – Hallelujah!
I Thank God for one of my children who spoke and said: “Listen, are you looking for GLORY? There will be battles to fight first!
We don’t even know that you have Faith until there will be storm.
Jesus Christ said there were two (2) people; one wise, one foolish. One built his house on the Rock, and the other built on sand.
The two (2) houses were looking Fine, until the storm came: it takes a storm to find our “what is your foundation?”
Is your foundation on the Rock or is it on sand?
If your foundation is on the Rock; after the storm is is gone and over, you will be standing Tall.
PROPHESIES:
- Ah! Thank You Father! I like this: Daddy says, tell My Children, “The Rock that Killed Goliath is still available!”
- This second one is for the Youths and Young Adults – I am sure this is for you specially:
Daddy says in every Generation there is a Genius. But He asks me to tell you: “In your Generation there will be seven (7). And He say there is someone here tonight or reading, who will become one of the seven (7).
… Like one of my children would say: You will be the one if your Amen swallows the Amen of the others (Laughs!)
In Romans 8:28, the Bible says: “And we know that all things work together for good to them that love God, to them who are the called according to his Purpose.”
That is the kind of FAITH that we are talking about!
That’s the kind of Faith that has done tremendous things in my life, in the life of my wife ad my family – GLORY FAITH!
I have told you the Story before: Before we became Born Again we had three (3) children. And all of then by Caesarian Operations – So we stopped!
Then we became Born Again, and one day we were studying the Bible. And we came to Luke 1:37: “For with God NOTHING shall be Impossible”.
I told my wife we are going to have another Baby. But this time it will be God and God alone, who will handle the matter.
Ooh! We got counsel from Physicians, from Friends, “Don’t try it: if your wife is going to deliver, because she has been operated upon three (3) times, something will rupture both herself and the Baby will die. Et cetera.
I said, that is not written in the Bible. What is written in the Bible is: “For with God NOTHING shall be Impossible!’
Well, you know the rest of the Story. And my wife was determined, “it’s either God will do it, or I will go and meet Him in Glory”.
God did it! And they told me – “it can only happen if the Baby is extremely small”. The Baby came and was very Big.
The Doctors said, well, you know: “Nothing is proved Scientifically unless it is repeated” – So, God repeated it. And this time He gave a Baby that is Bigger than the first one.
There is Faith that RESTS on God. And that Faith says: “It doesn’t matter what anybody may say – my tomorrow will be alright!”
If you believe that God will take care of you, no matter what your tomorrow will be; let me hear you shout Hallelujah – Hallelujah!
Now, you need both; you need the POWER Faith, and you need the GLORY Faith.
PROPHESY:
Thank You Father! Oh, Thank You tonight.
Daddy says there is somebody here tonight; He said in A family known for shame and failure: “You will wear a Garment of PRAISE.
You need BOTH! You need the POWER Faith, you need the GLORY Faith.
Peter had both! It was the POWER Faith that he used in Acts 3:1-11: “Then Peter said, Silver and Gold have I none; but such as I have give I thee: In the Name of Jesus Christ of Nazareth rise up and walk.”
… The man wasn’t going to get up; he GRABBED him by the hand.
It is as if he was saying: ‘You must be Healed by FORCE”.l – And the man was HEALED.
It was the POWER Faith he used in Acts 9:36-42; when they told him that somebody had been dead for a longtime; he just went in there, drove all the people who were weeping; knelt down, Prayed a short Prayer. And Dorcas came back to life.
In the Name of the One Who Sent me; before the end of this Year, there will be more Testimonies of you raising the dead!
But it was the GLORY Faith that he used in Acts 12:5-11; he knew that the King who put him in Prison had killed before. He knew that tomorrow he was going to be brought out to kill. But he SLEPT!
How could anybody sleep when he knows that tomorrow he is going to be killed?
He had GLORY FAITH! The Faith that is at Peace, whatever is happening!
Ah! It is a beautiful thing to have both! – You have the ability to move mountains, by saying so. And yet live at Peace, whatever may be happening.
It makes the Christian Life enjoyable – You need both of them!
I have told you the Story before; when I was going Abroad in the British Airways. We havee taken off – and once you are in the Plane, what else can you do? – Jump out?
The Captain came and say – by the time we arrive Heathrow, there is a storm. But he said we should not worry ‘he will manage to land’.
I was travelling Economy (I was younger than I am, now) and the food they give you in Economy is always very small – that is why they call it economy.
As soon as he made the Statement, the man sitting next to me Froze! He was frightened stiff! So he couldn’t eat: I mean they have just served us food.
I finished my food. And he was looking at me as I was eating. When I finished, I looked at him and said ‘you are not eating!’
… He thought I didn’t hear what the Captain said.
He said, NO! The he said, you heard want the Captain said? I said, Yes! I heard him. I asked him again, you are not eating? – He said No! Can I eat it?
And he passed his tray to me and I gave him my own. I finished the food and went to sleep!
… That is GLORY FAITH, that I know am going to land well.
I decree in the Name that is above every other names, you will end well – Amen.
PROPHESY:
Oh, Thank You my Father: this one is for me. So I want to say Amen! Because the Lord says there is someone here tonight or reading, He said: The older you grow, the better your life will become – Amen!
Let me finish my Story; just in case of those of you who have never heard it before.
We got to Heathrow, just before we landed, and the Captain came up again and said, “am sorry Ladies and Gentlemen, the Weather Boy deceived us. The storm they said is going to be in London is going to be in Scotland”.
I looked at the man beside me, he looked at me. And the two (2) of us began to laugh! It’s too late now: he can’t get his food back! But he is laughing out of relieved: ‘Thank God we are going to land safely’. And I was Thanking God that I ate double ration.
And then of course, God spoke to me and said, son, the Weather Boys were not wrong; but because of you, I diverted the storm.
In the Name that is above every other names, every storm coming your way will be diverted.
Now, you can have both! You can have the POWER Faith and you can have the GLORY Faith:
All you need to tap into the Power of God is Faith; all you need to tap into the Glory of God is Faith!
You can have both.
Why? – 1 Corinthians 12:28-31 was talking about all manner of Gifts, etc. Finally, he said “Covet earnestly the best Gift”.
All you need to do is to ask God: I want both!
I want the Power and I want the Glory. I want to be able to spend the rest of my life never worrying again.
I Thank God that He had gave me both!
Let me tell you the Truth; it is Power Faith that builds an Auditorium like this ( 3 by 3 Kilometers). It is not an ordinary Faith that will turn a Jungle to a Place like this.
As for Glory Faith: ask my Doctors, they will tell you anytime they check my Blood Pressure, they will just want to do it for fun. They wonder ‘how can it be normal?’
Why will it not be normal? There is a ‘Peace of God that passes all understanding’.
Tell your neighbour; Stop worrying, your tomorrow will be alright!
And Jesus Christ said; all you need to do is ASK! “If you ask ANYTHING in My Name; I WILL DO IT”.
‘I want to enjoy Your Power’ – He will do it!
‘I want to begin to Manifest Your Power (like that small Girl); I want to go for Evangelism and turn the whole City upside down’ – He will do it!
‘I don’t want to have high blood pressure throughout my life’ – He will do it! ‘I want to be able to sleep in the midst of a storm’ – He will do it!
I want the POWER Faith – it’s a Gift! I want the GLORY Faith – it is available!
… You don’t get it; only because you don’t ASK!
PROPHESY:
Thank You Father! Am just about to end; but the Lord asked me to tell someone; that long before the end of this Year: You will be Singing ” GLORY AHEAD!”
In John 15:16; He said – Ye have not chosen Me, but I have chosen you, and ordained you, that ye should go and bring forth Fruit, and that your Fruit should remain:
… that ANYTHING ye shall ask of the Father in My Name, He may give it you.”
Do your part, and leave the rest to God. And I can assure you from tonight onward; your life will never be the same again!
Now, am going to ask you (I know we have spent quite a lot if time). Am going to ask you to Pray tonight for about twenty (20) Minutes. Am going to tell you what to Pray about: I want you to Pray with all your heart!
Usually, I have always said there is a Night (or Day) in the life of a man or a woman, when everything will change. I believe that for someone, this is the Night!
If you can’t Pray, it will be your fault. But God is here, ready to ANSWER PRAYERS.
If you believe that, say Amen!
Now Write down the PRAYER POINTS:
1. I want you to Thank the Almighty God that He is very GENEROUS; He is not Stingy with His Blessing! When you ask from Him He gives liberally.
. I want you to Thank the Almighty God that He is very GENEROUS; He is not Stingy with His Blessing! When you ask from Him He gives liberally.
So THANK HIM for His Generosity!
2. Tell Him and say Father, You said “Faith comes by hearing”: I have heard Your Words, let my Faith begin to multiply.
3. Believing that as soon as you Pray No. 2 (above) God is going to answer immediately: you will say Father, in the Mighty Name of Jesus, I COMMAND, before next week, let ALL the Mountains in my life disappear.
4. You will cry to Him and say Father, the Ability to Demonstrate Your Power: in Healing the sick, Casting out demons, Raising the dead, Winning Souls. The Ability to Demonstrate Your Power, DEPOSIT in me today!
5. You will say Father, I have learnt that GLORY is the opposite of Shame. Everything that causes shame, REMOVE from my life.
6. You will say Father, the kind of FAITH that rests completely in You: Unmovable, Unshakeable. The kind of Faith that rests completely in You, Deposit in me today!
… Let me enjoy the PEACE of God that passes all understanding, from now on!
7. And then Finally, your own Special request. If you have something Special that you want God to do for you; particularly in the Month of October – you put that as No. 7.
The ALTAR is open, you can come and talk to God. And don’t do it like Ladies and Gentlemen; do it like Warriors: Beseech the Throne of God now and cry out to Him!
… He said “ASK till your joy is full”. Go ahead and begin to talk to God.
Start by Thanking Him because He is a very Generous God. Whatever you ask of Him, He will do: go ahead now and talk to the Almighty God.
Thank You Father! In Jesus Mighty Name we have Prayed – Amen.
GO DECREED:
FATHER, on behalf of everyone of us, I say THANK YOU. Oh! Thank You for Your Words;Thank You for Your Gifts; Thank You for Your Faith; Thank You that we can even gather together like this. Please, accept our Thanks in Jesus’ Name
In Your Name, in that Name that is above every other names, I hereby DECREE concerning ALL these Your children: that Faith that moves Mountain, release unto them!
Daddy, You said in Your Word that: ” I will decree a thing, and it will be established unto me;” You said in Your Words “That You will not let my word drop to the ground”.
I decree concerning these Your children: No more Shame!
Before the end of next week, every Mountain in the lives of these Your children will be gone! And the POWER to move Mountains for others, Release unto them!
Let Your GLORY fill all their lives; Put an end to Sorrow in their lives. Let there be no more Weeping! Even as You have said, very soon let them sing GLORY AHEAD!
Father, grant their Requests; Let their JOY overflow! And like never before, let them SERVE YOU!
Thank You for ANSWERED PRAYERS; For in Jesus Mighty Name we have Prayed – Amen!
If you received your own, let me hear you shout Hallelujah – Hallelujah!
God Bless you!
… You may go back to your seats!
Oh! Thank You Father! Have you been blessed? Let me hear another shout of Hallelujah – Hallelujah!
THANKSGIVING:
Then very quickly, as a Sign to the Almighty God that you believe that your PRAYERS have been answered, we will say THANK YOU to Him.
With Joy in our hearts, with Dancing, with Rejoicing, we will Glorify His Holy Name. And put the devil to perpetual shame!
This Month, you will find Double Favour with God; your enemies will become Friends; any obstacle they put on your way will become a Stepping Stone to GLORY.
The Bible says that Satan attacked Job, and took all he had. But the Bible says God BLESSED the latter end of Job, than the beginning.
One Preacher said; if the devil had known what He would do in return, he would have left Job alone!
I hereby DECREE: your latter end will be Greater than your former!
So quickly, let us take our Thanksgiving Offering; raise it to the Almighty God and Pray one PRAYER we Prayed on two (2) days ago – those of you who were not here, I want you to join us.
You will stand on your feet; you will lift your offerings before God and say: FATHER, there is nothing Glorious in Poverty. DESTROY Poverty permanently in my life;
Go ahead, talk to the Almighty God: Everything I need to serve You, Father provide Abundantly! I just want to serve you better.
Thank You Father! In Jesus Mighty Name we have Prayed – Amen!
So with Joy in our hearts; Dancing to the nearest Basket, drop our offering. And feel free to celebrate: shake hands with your friends. Rejoice with them because tomorrow is now going to be Alright!
Over to you BAND!

The Almighty will Bless your Offerings. He will use it for His Glory; He will accept your Thanksgiving. And from now on, you will have something to Thank God about!
