1. Now, I want you to lift your voice loud and clear and say: Father; if Your Fire is Falling on two (2) people here tonight, please, let me be one (1) of them.

… Go ahead, talk to the Almighty God.

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

SONG

What a Mighty God we serve (Hallelujah)
What a Mighty God we serve;
Heaven and Earth Adore Him (even)
Angels Bow before Him,
What a Mighty God we serve!

OPENING PRAYER

Ancient of days we Worship You. The Almighty, the King of Glory, the Lord of Host, the One who never lost a war, the Unchangeable Changer, the Holy One of Israel. Glory be to Your Holy Name! Please accept our worship in Jesus’ Name.

We Thank You for what You did the last time we were here. We Thank You in advance for what You will do tonight. Please, accept our worship in Jesus’ Name!

Tonight Father, in the lives of ALL Your children here, and those who are watching (or reading) all over the world: please, do something.

Let there be FRESH FIRE! Answer all Prayers; give every one of us a New Song!

And please Lord, heal this land – let there be Revival again!

And by the time we leave here, Lord God Almighty: let everybody go home with at least one (1) Major Testimony.

Thank You Father! for in Jesus Mighty Name we have Prayed – Amen!

Let someone shout Hallelujah – Hallelujah!

Shake hands with two (2) or three (3) people, say good evening, God bless you.

And then, you may please be seated; God bless you – Amen!

Let someone shout Hallelujah – Hallelujah!

Now, how many of you are attending the Festival of Life (or the Holy Ghost Service) Program for the first time? Let me see your hands? Oh, so many of them!

Alright! Since you are coming for the first time, you will get a first time kind of Miracle in Jesus’ Name – Amen.

In other that we might be on the same wavelength, then I need to explain one (1) or two (2) things very quickly:

1. Whenever God wants to talk to a congregation (no matter how large) He addresses Himself to individuals.

For example, in Revelation 3:20; He says: “Behold, I stand at the door, and knock: If ANY MAN hear my voice, and open the door, I will come in to him, and will sup with him, and he with me.”

He was talking to a Congregation, but He still says “ANY MAN”.

He says in John 3:16; for example; He says: For God so loved the world, that He gave His Only begotten Son, that WHOSOEVER – individuals!

So as we go on tonight, if all of a sudden you hear: “There is someone here…” And at the end of the day that someone happens to be maybe a hundred (100) people or more; don’t think we made a mistake – that is the way God speaks!

For example, there is someone here tonight (or reading); who will NEVER weep again – Amen!

Where is that someone? – The DMC FAMILY MEMBERS!

… Alright! Let that someone shout Hallelujah – Hallelujah!

2. Secondly, the Holy Ghost flows like a River!

Some of you might not fully understand ‘Fetching water from the River’. But those of us who came from villages will understand.

If the river is flowing and it’s your turn to deep in your bucket and bring out your water; if you hesitate – the river is not going to wait for you.

So if tonight, for example: when God wants to address your particular case. You are thinking of the rice you left behind at home or you doze away! And then you hear somebody by your side saying – Amen! And you wake up and say, “what did he say?”

… By then, it will be too late! So tell your neighbour: REMAIN ALERT. OK!

3. Then the third (3rd) thing I need you to know, is that; in some Nations of the world (and I believe in the United Kingdom also) they have some Restaurants where you can come in, “Eat ALL you can”. Everybody will pay the same amount

You come in, and they spread all manner of food: Rice, chicken, salads. And they say – “EAT all you can, before you go out”. And everybody will pay the same price.

Now, when I go to such Restaurants, I see some people, they will take one little spoon of salad, one little spoon of rice and just one little chicken!

Now. I always wonder, “What are these people doing here?” Because When I go to such s Restaurant, by the time I leave, the owner would know SOMEBODY had visited!

… And it looks as if am not the only one in that category – Alright!

The reason am telling you that is that tonight, God has Prepared a Table before you today. On the Table: there is Salvation, there is Healing, there is Deliverance, there is Joy, there is Breakthrough!

Now, how much of it do you want? – ALL. Alright!

4. Finally, when you go through the Scriptures, you will discovered that nearly everyone who got a Miracle from Jesus Christ got it by “FAITH”.

Jesus would ask you: Do you believe I can do it?

If you say Yes! Then He will either say: Be it unto you according to your FAITH. Or your FAITH has made you Whole.

… I want to assure you that God is here tonight.

Now, you say, how do I know? He said “where two (2) or three (3) are gathered together in my Name, I will be there!” Now, we are more than two (2) or three (3) – So He is here!

Second reason I know is that when He was calling me into Full Time Ministry, He made me a Promise. He said wherever I go, He would come with me:

So I brought Him with me. So right now, the Headquarters of God is in Manchester!

Now, the question is: When do you want your Miracle? – NOW!

… Next Year? – NOW! Alright, let somebody shout hallelujah – Hallelujah!

OK, we are ready! I believe we are now moving together at the same wavelength.

I want to Thank the Almighty God for my Brothers who have spoken before me. I give God the Glory, for your lives. And God will continue to Prosper your Ministries.

Thank you very much!

Thank God that one of the Preachers have already done a great job – preparing the ground for the little I have to add.

1 KINGS 18:30-39;

And by the way, as you are opening your Bible; I will be calling on you from time to time – to stand up to Pray.

And when I ask you to Pray, I don’t want you to Pray like British people (like highly sophisticated people). I want you to Pray like Warriors; I want you to Pray like lions and lionesses; I want you to Pray the way we Pray in Africa.

… At least from this Night! Tomorrow you can become as polite as possible again!

Tonight we want the FIRE TO FALL; and we can’t do that very gently. That is why when I ask you to Pray, YOU WILL PRAY.

… Do I hear an Amen to that? – AMEN!

Now when I ask you to stand up to Pray; am only talking to the young ones. The Elders can sit down and Pray – Why?

If the Elders sit down to Pray, if they fall asleep, that’s no problem! Because the Bible says, “The old ones shall dream dreams!”

Before they can dream, they must sleep first.

….But the young ones must stand up to Pray.

And who are the young ones? – Anyone who is younger than I is young. If you are older than I, you are old. Now, I am seventy seven (77) years old!

So those of you who are Young, shout Hallelujah – Hallelujah!

Alright! So 1 KINGS 18:30-39;

30 And Elijah said unto all the people, Come near unto me. And all the people came near unto him. And he repaired the altar of the LORD that was broken down.

31 And Elijah took twelve stones, according to the number of the tribes of the sons of Jacob, unto whom the word of the LORD came, saying, Israel shall be thy name:

32 And with the stones he built an altar in the name of the LORD: and he made a trench about the altar, as great as would contain two measures of seed.

33 And he put the wood in order, and cut the bullock in pieces, and laid him on the wood, and said, Fill four barrels with water, and pour it on the burnt sacrifice, and on the wood.

34 And he said, Do it the second time. And they did it the second time. And he said, Do it the third time. And they did it the third time.

35 And the water ran round about the altar; and he filled the trench also with water.

36 And it came to pass at the time of the offering of the evening sacrifice, that Elijah the prophet came near, and said, LORD God of Abraham, Isaac, and of Israel, let it be known this day that thou art God in Israel, and that I am thy servant, and that I have done all these things at thy word.

37 Hear me, O LORD, hear me, that this people may know that thou art the LORD God, and that thou hast turned their heart back again.

38 Then the fire of the LORD fell, and consumed the burnt sacrifice, and the wood, and the stones, and the dust, and licked up the water that was in the trench.

39 And when all the people saw it, they fell on their faces: and they said, The LORD, he is the God; the LORD, he is the God.

Ok! The Introduction to this story had been adequately handled, by the first Preacher. So I will just go straight on (because we have limited time) to look at:

“WHAT HAPPENS WHEN FIRE FALLS?”

… Particularly, when it has just fallen FRESH.

1. The First Thing (from this story that we can see) that happened on Mount Camel; that I believe the Almighty God is going to repeat here today, is that; “PRAYERS ARE ANSWERED INSTANTLY”.

… Before Elijah finished Praying, the FIRE FELL.

You see, some Miracles can take place after a while. For example: in Genesis 12:1-3; God Promised Abraham, ‘Ooh! am going to bless you; am going to make you a blessing; am going to make you Fruitful – through you, the whole Earth would be BLESSED”.

Years past, nothing happened! Then came Genesis 17:1-17; and God began to speak to Abraham again: “Oh, am going to make you the father of many Nations; your wife is going to be the mother of multitudes,” Et cetera!

But by then Abraham had been waiting for this Miracle to happen; for twenty five (25) years.

So at that stage, he laughed! The Bible said he laughed so mightily, he fell on his face.

He was saying to God: can we just forget this joke! But then, after twenty five (25) years and more – in Genesis 18:9-14; finally, the Miracle came!

So, some Miracles can wait! Some of us have been waiting for Miracles now; some for years! But there are some Miracles that cannot wait at all. There are some Prayers God must answer INSTANTLY, or it will be to late!

For example, consider 1 Samuel 17:45-51; when David came face to face with Goliath: and he was boasting – am coming against you in the Name of the Lord of Host, et cetera!

Supposed that first Rock, missed the Target? Supposed when he let go that little Rock, instead of hitting Goliath straight on the head (leading to his death) supposed he missed?

I can assure you, Goliath would not allow him to get a second Rock.

… Some Miracles CANNOT WAIT!

I give you another example: take Daniel 3:19-30; when they bound Shadrach, Meshach and Abednego; and they threw them into the fiery furnace. Supposed the Fourth MAN was not there INSTANTLY?

Do you think they could wait for their Miracle till tomorrow? They would have died that day! So they needed urgent Miracle.

Take another example: Daniel 6:16-28; when they threw Daniel into the den of lions (and those lions were hungry – as we were to discover the following day). Supposed the Angel of the Lord was not there INSTANTLY – To shut the mouth of the lions?

… The story would have been entirely different!

There are some people here, who can sit down and tell the Almighty God: ‘I know you can do all things; so if You give me my Miracle in two (2) year’s time, it will be OK!

But there are some of us, who have been believing God for Miracles and we can’t wait any longer! And we want our Miracles NOW!

… If you are one of us, let me hear you shout Hallelujah – Hallelujah!

I will tell you a story, before you Pray: I was travelling from a Town in Nigeria called Ibadan – Oyo State, Nigeria; to another one called Ilorin – Kwara State, Nigeria. And any of you who probably had travelled along that road before, you would know that there is a particular bridge (it’s a very narrow bridge): it can only take one (1) vehicle at a time.

So the procedure is: if you get to the bridge first; any other vehicle from the other side would park – till you have passed. And I was driving on that road! My driver was driving. We were already in the middle of the bridge when a big Truck was coming from the other side: it was supposed to stop!

Whether he didn’t see us, or the break failed (I never found out) but he just kept coming. And that narrow bridge was over a very deep river. He was coming straight at us; and we have an option to die: by head on collusion, or to swag into the river and drown! There was no time to Pray. There was only enough time to shout a Name!

… May I hear you shout JESUS!

I shouted, my driver shouted – JESUS! And we met in the middle of the bridge; and passed! The Truck didn’t stop.

When we got to the other side of the bridge; my driver parked! Because he was shaking like a banana leaf. Fortunately, he didn’t look back – because I was shaking by something else (laughter)! By the time he looked back; I had composed myself a bit.

… And he said: Daddy, WHAT HAPPENED?

I Said: “God ENLARGED the bridge!”

I want you to stand on your feet: Lift your voice to the Almighty God and say Father; Tonight answer my Prayer INSTANTLY! Open your mouth and call on Him!

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

So shall it be in Jesus’ Name – Amen.

… You may please be seated!

2. The Second thing that happened when that Fire Fell FRESH – was that the Bible said: the OFFERING WAS CONSUMED.

That means the offering offered was: ACCEPTED. And if the offering offered, was ACCEPTED – it means, Harvest can begin immediately!

Oh! There are some Harvests you can wait for. There are examples in Genesis 26:12-14; the Bible said, Isaac sowed it the land and he received in that year.

… It took a year before the hundred fold came!

There are Harvests that can wait a while. Like in 2 Kings 4:8-17; the Bible tells us about the great woman of Shunem who was feeding Elisha. She even went ahead and built an apartment for him.

She has been doing this Months after Months; until one day the Almighty God spoke to Elisha and said: “you have been eating this woman’s food, sleeping on her bed: you have not even asked if she has a problem.”

Till the Man of God finally said: OK, what ia your problem?

But she said, ‘I have none!’

Then the Man of God discovered that: OK, she is barren (the husband was old). And so he said, OK I give you something Money cannot buy.

But there are Harvests that cannot wait: Offering that must be received by Fire, so that the Harvest can come that very day.

For example; 1 Kings 17:8-16; the Bible tells us about the Widow of Zarephath. She had only one meal left! And the Man of God said: just prepare me a meal first – and she did!

She sowed that day, and that very day, she began to Harvest! Because if the Harvest didn’t come that day: she and her son, would have died.

I have come to Prophesy to someone here today (or reading now) that beginning from this moment onward: your Harvest will begin to come!

Now, when we talk of Harvest; Harvest at times is not usually money. The Harvest is at times, something money cannot buy. And I give you an illustration;

I was going to have a Program, in a Town in Nigeria, called Port Harcourt – Rivers State. And as I was preparing God spoke to me and said: there is a particular brother in that Town; and He wanted me to go and stay in his house.

I said, Yes Lord! Before I begin to say: Lord, You know I don’t normally stay in People’s houses (so that I can be neutral). And in any case, the fellow You asked me to go and stay in his house is not even a member of my Church.

But God said: “That is where I want you to stay”. I said, fine!

I told him what God said, and he shouted for Joy.

I got to his house, and I met the little children. And there was one little boy among them – I began to call him ‘my friend!’

Then one day, I was going (because the Program was over a period of days. There was one day, I was going for the Crusade, and I saw the children coming from school: and I said, eh, where is my friend?

And the father looked up at me with tears in his eyes; your friend is dying.

What do you mean by ‘my friend is dying?’

Well, he went to school, and somebody gave him poison to eat, and now he is in hospital.

And where is he?

They told me the hospital; and the hospital happened to be on the way to the Crusade ground any way!

And suddenly God spoke to me and said: “that is why I asked you to go and stay in the house!”

When I got to the hospital, the boy was stack naked in the room where he was:

The Air Conditioner was going full blast. And he was sweating profusely! I stood by the head of the bed, the Doctor and the father were standing at the foot of the bed. So the Father could not see the signal from the Doctor to me.

The Doctor signaled that “there is no hope”.

But since God had told me: “that is why I asked you to go there”. I knew, where the world says there is no hope, there will be hope.

I Prayed a little Prayer; I went for the Crusade. Just as I was returning home from the Crusade, the boy came home – already Discharged!

Somebody needs a Harvest; a Harvest that money cannot buy.

Stand on your feet, and cry to the Almighty God, and say: Father; let Your Fire Fall: and let my Harvest Begin!

Open your mouth and cry to the Almighty God: let the Fire fall, and let my Harvest begin: a kind of Harvest that money cannot buy!

Thank You Father; Thank You Lord! In Jesus’ Mighty Name, we have Prayed – Amen!

So shall it be in Jesus’ Name – Amen.

… Please be seated.

3. The next thing that happened when the Fire Fell that day, was that: all of a sudden, the Wood was Consumed by Fire!

Now, what is the implication of this?

Inside every wood, there is Fire!

That is why it is called “FIREWOOD”.

But the Fire that is inside the wood would not come out: until Fire comes on the Wood. Meaning what?

Some Potentials had been lying dormant for a long time. There are some people here, who have dreamt of doing MIGHTY THINGS for God – am sure of that!

There are people who knew (without been told; that they were not created to be small. There is something within them, that tells them: “Am somebody special!” How come I am not becoming what I want to become?

That Greatness that has been lying dormant in you, is going to be released today – Amen!

I give you an example today (from the Scriptures) in Like 5:1-11;

PROPHECY:

Thank You Father! The Lord asked me to tell somebody here tonight (or who is reading now). He said; your account will soon cease to be in the RED – Amen!

In Luke 5:1-11; you know the story! Peter fished all night, and caught nothing. Jesus came into his boat, he threw the net and caught so much fish, that the boats were sinking. And he beckoned to another to help!

After that, the Lord spoke to him, and said: from now on, you will be ‘catching men’ – you will be ‘Fishing for men!’

For three (3) years plus; Peter did not win a single soul.

Then on the day of Pentecost; the FIRE fell, landed on the head of Peter. And that which had being inside him, came alive! He Preached a single sermon – and won three thousand (3,000) souls (one day!) – That is in Acts 2:1-41.

Then, he was going to Pray and he saw a lame man in Acts chapter 3 (you can read the story). He was a Fisherman: whoever thought of a Fisherman performing Miracles?

… The Potential had been there, until the Fire came!

When the Fire came and that lame man was saying: I need money. He looked at him and said: I am a Fisherman, I have no money. But I have something now; what I have I give unto you – in the Name of Jesus Christ of Nazareth, RISE UP AND WALK!

I believe I can Prophesy to someone here today who has been dreaming of a time when you will lay hands on the sick and they will be Healed. You will cause the lame to walk, the blind to see! And you have been dreaming about it:

… From tonight onwards; your dream shall be fulfilled – Amen!

But the point is: he Preached another Sermon (after Healing that man) and according to Acts 4:4; he won five thousand (5,000) souls! Then he went on and on and on:

And then he Performed another Mighty Miracle – killing husband and wife who were trying to deceive the Church. And the Bible said, after that, Multitudes began to be added to the Church.

Peter, an ordinary Fisherman; when the FIRE FELL, the Potentials in him, came to the surface.

I became a Pastor in 1975; I didn’t want to become a Pastor. Because I was a Mathematician, I knew what I wanted to be! But when I gave my life to Jesus, and things began to move in the way it was moving:

I said alright! If am going to be a Christian, then I don’t want to be an ordinary one – I want to be one that will be Mightily used of God.

… I have read of Miracles; I have heard of Testimonies; but I want God to use me!

And I come in the Name that is above every other names: the people that God will use Mightily for the revival in this land, are listening to me right now (or are reading this message) – Amen!

And so an opportunity came in 1979. I went to Tulsa, to attend Kenneth Hagin Camp Meeting. And I saw, the Power of God being demonstrated naked, before my eyes – I saw the lame walking, I saw the sick been Healed.

… Something told me, “my day has come!”

So I said, I must see this Man of God. They said it is impossible! I said, I will see him. I cried to God, He made a way! He gave me an appointment.

Now, there were some of us who left from Nigeria with me; as soon as they heard that I have made an appointment with this Man of God, they all jumped on the Bandwagon!

We got to his office; they told us, he will give all of maximum fifteen (15) minutes – I thought: that would be enough! So, he looked at us and said:

“What to you want?” Before I could speak, those who followed me had started speaking. This one said, I want permission to be distributing your Books in Africa. The other one said: I want permission to be distributing your Tapes. Another one said I want permission to be distributing your Magazines.

Finally he turned to me (when there was nobody left); Young Man, what do you want? I said: “Whatever is in you, that makes you, YOU – that is what I want!”

. . He was shocked! He said, are you sure? I repeated myself.

So he called the Secretary, the Secretary came! He told the Secretary: This one wants Books, give him Books! This one wants Tapes, give him Tapes; This one wants Magazines, give him Magazines.

… And they all moved out of the office.

Then he turned to me and said: Young man, kneel down. And I knelt down! I saw him coming with his two (2) hands towards my head.

… That was all I remembered!

When I woke up; I was on the floor. He was kneeling beside me – his two (2) hands on my head; Praying furiously. By the time he finished: I knew I got what I wanted. I knew I got what I wanted!

Stand on your feet, and cry to the Almighty God, and say Father; let Your Fire Fall: that Potential in me, ACTIVATE it tonight!

Open your mouth and cry to the Almighty God:

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

So shall it be in Jesus’ Name – Amen.

Please be seated!

4. And then they said, the Fire CONSUMED the ‘ROCK!’

The ‘Rock’ stands for HARDSHIP.

In Africa, when they want to say somebody comes from a very POOR background, they would say: “he rose from the Rock!”

… ROCK simply signifies “HARDSHIP”.

There are some HARDSHIP that could be endured. But there is a limit you get to, when the hardship must end!

And I believe as the Fire of God falls tonight; some people would never suffer again!

When you read Exodus 3:1-10; the Bible talks about the Almighty God coming down in Fire and speaking to Moses, concerning the children of Israel.

… God was saying: they have suffered enough.

But you know what? They have been suffering for more than four hundred (400) years, before that Fire fell.

There are other examples, you would find in the Scriptures. For example, in 2 Kings 7:1-11; the Bible talks about a Siege that had been on a City. And the Siege has been on for so long: that women were already eating their own children.

… That is not a good kind of hardship!

But then, the Almighty God intervened; and in less than twenty four (24) hours the Tide Turned!

May I Pray for somebody here today,. (or reading now), that before the end of this week; your Tide will turn – Amen!

And then, there is that example in 2 Kings 4:1-7;

PROPHECIES:

Thank You Lord! Eh, This is a good one!

Once upon a time, we were having a Program like this. And the crowd was a little more than this. And all manners of Miracles were happening around the Altar. And there was a man at the back – somewhere in the congregation (a very short man).

When he tried to see what was going on in the front, one tall fellow will block his view. If he turns this way, another tall fellow will block his view. So he said in his heart to God; “Oh God, how I wish I were taller!”

The moment he finished speaking, God spoke to me and said: there is somebody in the crowd who said: ‘I wish I were taller!’

And the Lord said, I should tell the fellow, that he should look down, if he sees his trousers looking shorter, there is nothing wrong with the trousers – it was that God has granted his request, and he has grown taller!

When it was Testimony Time, he came forward with his wife to Testify.

And the wife said; I know where my husband was, when we left home. This is where he is now!

1. Why am I telling you that story? The Lord asked me to tell someone here, He said: you might be feeling some cracking in your body; it is because I AM doing “Structural Adjustment”.

… Whoever that is, I would love to hear your Testimony: am curious!

2. Thank You Father! The Lord said there is someone here tonight, He says, every door that has been shut against you; My Fire will consume tonight!

2 Kings 4:1-7; tells us the story of another widow – she was the widow of a Man of God. And she was heavily in debt.

And everyday she has been going around; and when people say to her: How are you Sister? She will say: oh, Glory be to God, all is well.

But one day, the creditors came and they said: ‘if you don’t pay within twenty four (24) hours, we will sell your two (2) sons! That day, she could no longer endure the hardship! She cried out to God.

And you know what? Before the end of the day; not only was her debt paid, she had enough to live on, for the rest of her life!

I decree to somebody, very, very soon: you will have more than enough – Amen!

I have told the story before; of a relation of mine. Things were good for him before, but then everything turned to the negative. He became so poor, that he had to be borrowing the dress of the wife (to readjust, for him to wear).

Things got so bad that he planned to commit suicide: that death is better than shame!

But being a funny character, so he decided that he will attend his funeral – He said he would go to Church, he would dance so much that People will notice him. And then go home and commit suicide.

… So that everybody would say: Ah! We saw him in Church!

But as he was sitting down, he heard a Word from the Preacher: who was Preaching about Shadrach, Meshach and Abednego. And the Man of God said, when Shadrach, Meshach,
and Abednego said “The God whom we serve, He is able to deliver us: they did not know how God would do it – They just trusted God!

He heard that Word; and he said: I too, I refuse to die; I don’t know how God will to it; but I refuse to die.

That day, he Prayed like he had never Prayed before, and God heard him!

… God is going to hear somebody here tonight – Amen!

The day he was sharing his Testimony, he had just bought fourteen (14) cars for those who are working for him.

Fourteen (14) cars in a day from a man who was about to commit suicide because he had nothing; to a man who could buy Fourteen (14) cars in a day!

Why? – Because when Fire Falls, HARDSHIP ends!

I want you to stand on your feet, and cry to the Almighty God, and say Father; let Your Fire Fall and put an end to my sufferings!

Open your mouth and cry unto the Lord: Let the Fire Fall, I am tired of sufferings Lord. let the Fire Fall and put an end to all my sufferings!

Am tired of suffering Lord, am tired of managing to survived. Let Your Fire Fall Lord, and put an end to all my sufferings!

Open your mouth and cry unto the Lord. Let the Fire Fall. I am tired of suffering Lord and put an end to all my sufferings.

Am tired of managing to survive. Let your Fire fall and put an end to all the hardship in my life.

Let the Fire fall fresh on me. Put an end to all my sufferings: Physically, Materially, Maritally.

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

… So shall it be in Jesus Name – Amen.

Please be seated.

5. The next thing that happened when the Fire fall is that the Bible says that the dust – the very dust around the ground there; was consumed by Fire.

Now, the dust signifies Physical Problems.

Because the Bible says in Genesis 3:19; it said: You are dust and to dust you will return – It describes man as dust.

So, there are problems that are Physical. This is where your Healings comes now.

Some of these problems can be endured if they are minor – a little bit of fever, some minor aches and pains.

But when the doctors say that there is nothing more than we can do; you know that you need a Miracle immediately.

I mean for example in Mark 5: 25-34; the Bible tells us of a woman with the issue of Blood. She has been enduring this problem for long. She has been referred by one Doctor to another until she has spent everything that she had.

And the Bible said that instead of getting better, she grew worst.

When she has nothing left, she came to the Lord Jesus Christ and touched the helm of His Garment and there was a spark of Fire because Jesus Christ said that Virtues has gone out of Him.

That day, her problem came to an end.

I have a deep feelings within me that every sick person who are here tonight or reading now will not go out with their sickness – Amen.

Particularly, those that the Doctors have said maybe we can manage your case but it cannot be cured – There will not be Management anymore – Amen.

In the Name that is above every other names; you will be Healed tonight or as you are reading – Amen.

A woman was sick at an hospital called LUTH (Lagos State Teaching Hospital in Ikeja, Lagos State Nigeria). I can’t remember the exact nature of the sickness.

The husband came to visit her one evening and the doctors called the husband aside and they said that there is no way this woman will last till tomorrow morning.

So, the husband went in, pretended to be a very loving husband – Oh my darling et cetera, et cetera. And then left.

Unknown to the woman, the husband is already getting ready for another fellow.

So, the husband phoned his girlfriend and asked her to come – Let us enjoy, this woman will pass on before tomorrow morning.

But after the husband left and the door was shut; someone came through the door – The One whose Name is “The Door”; dressed like a doctor came to her and said daughter Rise Up. I am the Lord that Healeth thee.

And instantly she was made whole. So she got up and dressed.

When the Nurses saw her, they thought it was her Ghost because they had been told that she will die that night.

And she said: Am discharging myself.

Anyway, she came home and because the husband thought she was gone, he was having fun with the concubine. He didn’t even bothered to lock the door and she walked in and the husband saw her.

… When Doctors fails, there is a God who will not fail.

I want you to stand on your feet now. Even if you are not the one in need of a Healing, if you have a relative at home who is in need of Healings; cry to God and said: Father, send down your Fire and consume every sickness and every disease.

Open your mouth and cry to the Lord. Send down your Fire and consume every sickness, every disease, every aches in my body, in the bodies of those precious to me.

Let there be Fresh Fire from above tonight Oh Lord. We need your Healing Power, let your Fire fall.

Thank You Father, Thank You Lord; in Jesus Mighty Name we have Prayed – Amen.

And so shall it be in Jesus Name – Amen.

Please be seated.

As I continued, I want you to begin to check your bodies, begin to check those things you could not do before. In the Mighty Name of Jesus, you can do them now – Amen.

6. And the next thing that happened when the Fire falls which is the one that I liked most is that the Fire consume the Water.

Water is supposed to put off Fire but the Fire that we are talking about is the one that uses water as fuel – It is a Divine Fire.

Which is why am believing God tonight that there is somebody here or reading who will never know sorrow again – Amen.

There is a time for enduring sorrows. But as a child of God, you shouldn’t even endure sorrow for twenty four (24) hours.

Why? – Because Psalms 30:5 says: Weeping may endure for a Night, Joy comes in the morning.

In the Name of the One who sent me; everyone of you here or reading; by tomorrow morning you will be singing a “Song of Joy” – Amen.

For every Person, there is a possibility of sorrow ending once and for all.

In 1 Samuel 1: 9-21; the Bible tells us the story of Hannah. For years, she has been coming to Shiloh, Praying to God for a child and nothing happened.

But on one occasion, the Fire fell on her. The Almighty God singled her out of the crowd and the Man of God decreed that she will have a son.

Am believing God for someone here today or reading now – who has been trusting God for Breakthrough whether in the Physical or in the Marital or in the Financial; your Breakthrough will come tonight – Amen.

You don’t want to endure sorrow for a day longer because sorrow is a killer.

In Proverbs 17:22; the Bible says that the Merry Heart doeth good like a Medicine but a broken Spirit drieth the bone.

I am not a Medical Doctor but the Doctors have something to tell us about bones that are dry.

There is something inside your bone that is supposed to be producing Blood. If that something dries up; you are on your way to the grave.

And that is what sorrow does – It kills you from inside.

And that is why we will cry to God together tonight that Fire will fall so that nobody here will ever know sorrow again – Amen.

I have always told the story of something that happened. We are having a Program like this and it was time to Pray. And I said everybody should be Praying and I was Praying too because I need God to Help me.

And what I was taught when I am Praying was that am to close my eyes – Probably to concentrate.

So, I was Praying with my eyes closed. And all of a sudden I heard God saying to me: Son, open your eyes.

I almost told Him: Lord, am Praying. But I know who was speaking and I opened my eyes.

Then He pointed a woman in the Congregation and said: Go and tell her that she should weep no more because she was soaked in tears.

I got to her, I tapped her by the shoulder and told her God said: Weep No More!

And all of a sudden, her eyes brightened because she knew at long last, God has heard her.

… God will hear somebody here tonight – Amen!

I delivered the message and came back to the Pulpit to continue with the Program.

About a year or so later, I saw a lady standing before me. She said sir, you don’t remember me?

I said am sorry ma; how many People will I remember?

She said that I was the lady who was weeping. She said that she has been barren for several years. And now the relatives of the husband has spoken to her: If you don’t give our son a child within a year we will drive you out of this house. She said that was why I was crying.

And now when I looked at her; it was now my own turn to cry for Joy because on one hand she was carrying a baby and on the other hand she was carrying a baby.

… The Almighty God had wiped away her tears.

I want you to stand on your feet and please cry to God with all your heart and said: Father, for the rest of my life don’t let me know sorrow – Please Pray.

As your Fire fall tonight; don’t let me know sorrow ever again.

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

So shall it be in Jesus Name – Amen.

Pleased be seated.

And you have done very well. I will soon be rounding up.

7. When the Fire fell, the next thing was that the People fell on their faces and they started shouting: “THE LORD IS GOD”

Meaning what?

God’s Purpose for that land was fulfilled – Revival came back to the land.

When Fresh Fire falls, Revival will come to the land.

Whether the devil likes it or not; United Kingdom will know Revival again – Amen. Because Fire will fall tonight – Amen.

But that is not even the main Point now – It is because the Purpose of God for the life of Elijah was fulfilled.

Because the name Elijah actually means: THE LORD IS GOD.

You break his name into two (2): “ELI” and “JAH” – “The Lord is God”.

That is why Elijah was born to bring the People to a level that they will shout: “The Lord is God”.

So, what is the implications for you?

It means that God has a Purpose for your life.

… And in the Mighty Name of Jesus Christ because you came here tonight or reading right now; that Purpose will be fulfilled – Amen.

In Jeremiah 1: 4-5; the Bible says that before God formed you at all; He knew you. While you are still in your mother’s womb, He had already set you apart from Himself.

God never created anybody without a Purpose. You were not born as an accident. You came into this world for a Purpose.

The sad thing however is that many People believed that they came into this world without a Purpose. They lived and died without fulfilling their Purpose.

But your own will be different because the Purpose God has for your life is a Good One according to Jeremiah 29:11.

He said that: I know the thoughts that I think towards you – thoughts of Good, not of evil to have an Expected End.

… What He called the “Expected End” is the Purpose for which He created you.

Many atimes we have our own ambition.

We think: Oh, if I can become a Millionaire, I would have made it. Or we think of one thing or the other.

Whereas, God has a Purpose for our life. And that Purpose begins to find fulfilment the moment the Fire of God falls.

I have my own Plans – Oh, as a very young man, I can say it now that it does not matter anymore: A brilliant young Mathematician.

I thought that am going to become the youngest Vice Chancellor Africa had ever known – That was what I wanted to be.

But the Purpose of God for my life was different. He allowed me to study Mathematics for twenty seven (27) Years and then He blocked my ways and said: I want you to be a Preacher.

As a Vice Chancellor, I would have been a Blessing to a University. As a Preacher, by the Grace of God am a Blessing to the world.

… God has a Purpose for your life and that Purpose will be fulfilled when the Fire falls – Amen.

But before I asked you to Pray the Final Prayers; you have Prayed six (6) times already and you are about to Pray the seventh (7th) Time.

You have really done very well – I mean for a sophisticated audience.

You have tried. Let me hear you shout Hallelujah – Hallelujah!

ALTAR CALL

The Fire of God never falls on an empty Altar. You can go through the Scriptures and see – Every time that the Fire of God fell, it never fell on an empty Altar.

You want the Fire of God to fall on you; then you will have to lay yourself on that Altar as a Sacrifice.

The Bible says in Romans 12:1. It says that: I beseech you therefore Brethren that your Present your Body as a Living Sacrifice.

The Sacrifice is something that is already Placed on the Altar and you are not going to take it back because as a Living Sacrifice, He is asking that you leave the rest of your life for Him.

When you lay yourself, your Marriage, your Future, your Plans – everything on the Altar in Total Submission to God, then and only then will the Fire Fall.

For those of us who has already given our lives to Jesus Christ, we need an additional submission – Submission to the extent that whatever God says, we will do and we will never argue with His Words. His Words will be our Command.

You cannot claim to be surrendered to God and continued to live in sin – that is not possible. He is a Holy God.

There will be those who will tell you that once you give your life to Jesus Christ, you can then live as you like – That’s not possible, that’s not true.

The Bible tells us that you cannot continued in sin and then expects Grace to abound. It said: God forbid.

That is a very strong word.

So, for those of us who are already Christians – Congratulations.

But you need to check your life and put an end to every rubbish because you are dealing with a Holy God.

.

Those of us who say that we are already Christians must begin to live a life that will show those who are in darkness that we are truly the Light of the world.

So, you need to think afresh because the Fire of God will fall tonight. Because you will be hearing Testimonies upon Testimonies upon Testimonies of what God had done tonight for years to come – Amen.

I don’t want you to now say that but I was here too – I heard the Prophecies; how come they didn’t come to past in my life? – Check yourself.

You cannot claim to be a child of God and continue to live in sin.

So, I am about now to make an Altar Call – First, to those of you who has never surrendered your life to Jesus Christ.

He is willing to release His Fire upon you to consume your sickness, your sorrow and your problems. But first, you have to surrendered your life to Him. You have to say that: Jesus Christ, am surrendering my life to you. I want to become my Lord and my Saviour. I will serve you for the rest of my life.

… You have to do that first.

And am also calling on those who are Born Again before but you backslide.

Those things that you said you will never do again, you have started doing one more time.

Please, come back to Jesus Christ and let Him restore you.

The Power that is in the Blood is still available till today. The Blood can wash away all your sins and give you a brand New Beginning.

Because the Bible says that if any man be in Christ, He is a New Creature. Old things are passed away, behold all things has become new.

For those of us who has never surrendered your life to Jesus Christ; the man that is talking to you now if you know my history; you won’t even believed that I can be somebody who God will use.

Have always said it that I was so bad that if I were Jesus Christ, I will not even save this boy.

But He has a Purpose for my life and He has a Purpose for your life too.

And all you need to do is to surrender your life to Him, let His Blood wash away your sins and He will give you a brand New Beginning.

So, am going to count from one (1) to ten (10). If you want to surrender your life to Jesus Christ; you want Him to forgive your sins and give you a brand New Beginning, before I say ten (10); then you come and stand before me so that I can Pray for your Salvation.

If you are a backslider and you have gone back into sin but you want to return to Sweet Fellowship with Jesus Christ; before I say ten (10) come and stand too before me and I will Pray with you too with those coming for the first time.

So, if you want to give your life to Jesus Christ or you want to return to the One who save your soul, come now as I begin to count.

Don’t wait for anybody. You might be the only one God has come for tonight. Don’t wait for your friends; they may not need Salvation. But if you need Salvation or Restoration, come now!

Keep clapping those of you who are clapping. Please keep coming. This is your Day – don’t miss this opportunity.

The Lord wants to save your soul and He is giving you an opportunity that may never be repeated again.

Come now. Keep clapping as your hands will never be empty or withered.

This is your Day of Salvation. Hurry up as we are running out of time. It is the Lord calling you. He wants to save your soul or restore your Fellowship with Him.

Glory be to God. He will give you a New Beginning.

Thank You Father. Am about to Pray now.

Now those of you who has come forward; let us talk to the Almighty God: Just tell Him please have Mercy on me, save my soul, forgive all my sins and I will serve you from now on.

… Just have Mercy and let your Blood wash away all my sins.

Go ahead and talk to the Lord in your own language.

And the rest of us, let us stretch our hands towards our new brothers and sisters and intercede for them.

Pray that the One who save your soul will save their own souls also.

Pray that God will wash them clean from all their sins.

And those of us still on the way you have to hurry up now because am about to Pray.

Thank You Jesus. Thank You Lord.

Oh, blessed be the Name of the Lord. Thank You Lord.

In Jesus Mighty Name we have Prayed – Amen!

PRAYER FOR SALVATION

Saviour, I just want to say Thank You: Thank You for your Words and Thank You for these People who has come forward to surrender their lives to you.

Please Father, remember your Promise that whosoever will come unto You you will no wise cast out. They have come to You now; please receive them, save their souls, let Your Blood wash away their sins, give them a brand New Beginning, write their names in the Book of Life, receive them into the Family of God.

And from now on, any time they call on you answer them by Fire.

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

Now those of you infront let me hear you shout Hallelujah – Hallelujah!

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 Requests.

And I Promised you that I will be Praying for you.

So, if you turn to your left; you will see somebody there with a Placard. Kindly follow him. He will take you to where some Pastors are waiting. They will collect the information that I needed and then bring you back very quickly.

Let us give the Lord a very big round of applause as they go.

Now while we wait for our brothers and sisters to join us; I will ask you to Pray three (3) Prayers very quickly:

1. Prayer of Thanksgiving – Thank God that He has allowed you to be Present here tonight.
2. You will cry to Him that if there is anything in my life that will not allow your Fire to fall on me tonight; please remove it from me.
3. You will ask for the Fire of God to fall specifically on you as a Person and as an Individual.

… Let’s stand on our feet and talk to the Almighty God for few minutes while we wait for our brothers and sisters to come.

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

CLOSING PRAYERS

The Almighty God will grant your request.

Every obstructions to your Breakthrough He will destroy tonight.

And His Fire will fall specifically for you.

So shall it be.

In Jesus Mighty Name we have Prayed – Amen!

…. Let somebody shout Hallelujah – Hallelujah!!!
