BIBLE TEXT: PSALMS 18: 1-3
Thank You Jesus.
1. Can you lift our hands to the Most High God and bless His Holy Name. Let’s give Him Glory, worship the King of kings, the Lord of Lords, the Ancient of Days. Bless His Holy Name.
Praise Him, give Him Glory, give Him Honour, give Him Adoration, worship Him.
Oh Yes, let Him hear your voice: Tell Him how much you love Him. Magnify His Holy Name. Praise the King of Kings, Praise the King of Glory Himself. Praise the Lord Strong and Mighty.
Thank You Father. In Jesus Mighty Name we worship – Amen.
2. Now, I want you to cry to Him and said loud and clear and said: Father, Lord of Host; arise for me today.
Go ahead, talk to the Almighty God: Arise for me and let all my enemies be scattered today.
Oh Lord of Host, arise for me today and let your enemies be scattered completely.
Thank You my Father. In Jesus Mighty Name we have Prayed – Amen.
3. Now, I want you to join hands together because the Words of God says that one (1) of you will chase a thousand (1,000) but two (2) will put ten thousand (10,000) to flight.
I want you to cry to Him one (1) more time and say: Lord of Host, arise for my neighbour, scatter all his enemies.
Open your mouth and cry to Him: Arise for all these your children and let all our enemies be scattered.
Thank You Father. In Jesus Mighty Name we have Prayed – Amen.
SONG:
The God of Abraham, Isaac and Jacob
Jehovah, the man of War
Your Mercy endureth forever and ever
Oh, Praise His Holy Name (Amen)
… Repeat!
OPENING PRAYER:
King of Glory, the Lord Strong and Mighty – The Lord Mighty in Battle. The Almighty God who has never lost a war; we bless Your Name.
We thank You for what You have done in this Campus in the Past and we thank You for what You are about to do this Evening – Please accept our thanks in Jesus Name.
On behalf of everyone of Your children here today and all those who might be listening to us all over the world or reading; Please arise, fight our battles for us, scatter all our enemies. Let Your Light shines and displaces every force of darkness in this Campus.
My Lord and Saviour; am Praying that everyone here today will receive a touch from You.
It is written that He sent His Words and it Healed them and deliver them from all their destructions. Even as Your Words will be going forth today; Please Heal the sick, set the Captives free and Lord God Almighty save Souls tonight and just put the devil to shame and let Your Name be Glorified.
Father, I Pray that everyone who has come to this Ground today will go home singing “A Song of Victory”.
Father, once again we commit Obafemi Awolowo University into Your Hands; take absolute control of this University: Prosper this University, move this University from Glory to Glory. And bless our Vice Chancellor, bless all the Principal Officers, bless the Academics Staff, bless the Non Academics Staffs and bless all the Students.
In Jesus Mighty Name we have Prayed – Amen.
… Now, let someone shout Hallelujah – Hallelujah.
Shake hands with one (1) or two (2) People and say: Good Evening, God Bless You!
And then, you may please be seated.
When it became evident that I will not be able to come to this Campus in January, 2019; I thought that we might be missing the whole Year.
But thank God the Almighty God spoke and said November, 2019 is still part of the Year.
So, I thank God that am able to be here today. And I thank God that you are able to be here today.
Am trusting the Almighty God that by the time we are all living; we will be singing the “Song of Victory” – Amen.
I have been asked to speak on: “MY STRONG DELIVERER”.
… Three words is there.
The first (1st) one is “MY”. And that means that whatever God is going to do here tonight is going to be done on an individual basis.
He didn’t say: “Our Strong Deliverer”.
Which means that even though we are quite a crowd; it is possible that the Almighty God will attend to only one Person.
… And then if you are that Person that He will attend to; let me hear you shout Hallelujah – Hallelujah!
And then the second (2nd) word is: “STRONG”.
But Strong is an Adjective. So, before you can understand what an Adjective is doing; you need to know what the Noun is.
So, we jump “Strong” and go to “DELIVERER”.
The moment we talk of Deliverer, we are talking that someone who has been captured and he is unable to set himself free. And so there is need for someone to set him free.
And then when we talk of “Strong”; we automatically imply that there could be someone who is weak.
And it may be because of the weakness that he is captured or it may be because of the weakness that he is unable to set himself free.
We will try in the next thirty (30) minutes or so, to look at this Topic.
As we go along, if we are led by the Holy Spirit; we will call upon you to stand up and Pray.
If I were you, I will Pray very well tonight because am believing God that every bondage will be destroyed tonight in Jesus Name – Amen.
BIBLE TEXT: PSALMS 18: 1-3
- I will love thee, O LORD, my Strength.
- The LORD is my Rock, and my Fortress, and my Deliverer; my God, my Strength, in whom I will trust; my Buckler, and the horn of my Salvation, and my High Tower.
- I will call upon the LORD, who is worthy to be Praised: so shall I be saved from mine enemies.
In the Name that is above every other names; all your enemies will be put to shame today – Amen.
There is a Deliverer. His Name is the Lord of Host (Psalms 24:10).
Psalms 24:10 says: Who is the King of Glory?
And it says the Lord of Host is the King of Glory.
Now, the Lord of Host means the Controller, the Commander-In-Chief of all the Host – The Host in Heaven, the Host on Earth, the Host underneath the Earth.
He is the Controller of all the Angels. He is the Controller of all Hosts on the Ground. He is the Controller of all demons.
… He is the Lord of Host!
When we talk about Strength; the Bible calls Him in the same Psalms 24: 7-8. It says: He is the Lord Strong and Mighty in Battle.
Which tells us straightaway that He is not a Civilian; He is a Soldier and He knows how to fight.
How Strong is this Deliverer?
Psalms 91:1 tells us that: He that dweleth in the Secret Place of the Most High shall abide under the shadow of the Almighty.
… He is not just Mighty; He is the Almighty!
In other words; His Might is completely Unlimited.
How Strong is He?
Isaiah 43: 13 says that there is no one strong enough to deliver from His own Hands.
So, if He is the One who has captured someone; there is nobody anywhere that is Strong enough to deliver from His Hands.
And then He said that if He wants to do something or work; nobody can hinder Him.
But then in Isaiah 49: 24-26; He says that He can deliver from anyone.
No one can deliver from Him but He can deliver from anyone.
He even went further to say that if the one holding you captive resist your being Set Free; He said that He will feed that Captor with his own flesh and caused him to drink his own blood.
And I believed that is a Word for someone here today straightaway: That every Force that has been holding you captive – Trying to hinder your Progress, trying to hinder your Joy, Standing on the way of your success; if they won’t let you go they will pay with their own Life – Amen.
Now in Luke 11: 21-22; the Bible says that when a Strong Man armed keeps watch over his house; then all his goods are saved. But when a Stronger Man than him shall come upon him and overpower him and take away all the weapons which he trust in; then they can loot him completely.
Then the Deliverer that we are talking about is the Stronger One. He is the One who is Stronger than the Strongest.
And I can assured you tonight in that Name that is above all names; that Strength of His will be used for your Deliverance today – Amen.
Now when we talk about Deliverance; Captivity can come in various forms:
1. There could be Physical Captives.
For example in Luke 13: 11-17; the Bible tells us of a woman who was bent double and has been like that for eighteen (18) Years.
No matter how hard she tried;; she could not straightened up because the doctors could not help her because what was wrong with her is not just Physical, there was a force bending her double – The Bible called it “The Spirit of Infirmity”.
There are many sicknesses and diseases that you found that the best of doctors could not handle.
Like I told my Brethren at the Teaching Hospital this morning; Demons do not appear on Xray. It doesn’t matter how sophisticated your Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) Machine may be; it won’t record the Presence of a demon.
When you cannot locate the Point of the source of the Problem, finding the solution becomes a Problem.
So, when you hear that there is a sickness that we don’t know the cure or they say that there is a sickness we cannot cure but only manage; then you know immediately that this is not a Medical Problem, it is a Spiritual Problem.
Am Praying today that if there is anyone here being troubled by any Spirit of Infirmity; you will be set free today in Jesus Name – Amen.
Now this Deliverer is so Strong that just one touch from Him will set you Free from any Spirit of Infirmity.
In Matthew 8: 1-3; we find the case of a leper.
And Leprosy in those days was incurable – just like AIDS and some other terrible diseases the doctors will tell you we can manage this but you have to take this drug for the rest of your Life.
And if there is anyone under this kind of situation; I said that the devil is a liar – Amen. Because the Almighty God will set you free tonight – Amen.
Just one (1) Touch from the Deliverer and the Lepers became cleansed.
In Mark 5: 25-34; there was the case of a woman who has the Issue of Blood. The Bible says for twelve (12) Years; she went to the best of the Physicians that are available – Going from one (1) Physician to the other. But instead of getting better, she grew worst because her Problem was not Physical.
But as soon as she managed to touch the hem of the Garment of the Great Deliverer, Miracle happened.
And when you read Marks 10: 46-52; you read about Bartimaeus
Bartimaeus didn’t have eyes Problem; he has no eyes. He was born blind.
There was nothing any human doctors can do for him. You can correct sight that is not properly behaving but what are you going to do when you are dealing with someone who was born without eyes?
But there is someone who created everybody – Who created you from the very beginning.
So, if you miss something when you are coming into the world; He can give you as a Spare Part.
So, if there is anything in your body today that the doctors has said that this one is already beyond repair; before you leave here today, you will sing a Song of Victory – Amen.
I will give you just one (1) example before I call on you to Pray the first (1st) Prayer.
There was this woman; a very wealthy woman and she just discovered that whatever she ate she will vomit. She went to this best doctors; they tried everything they could – she just could not hold down any food.
Finally, someone suggested to her to come to the Headquarters of The Redeemed Christian Church of God because they believed that God will Perform a Miracle for her when she has went all over and spent all sort of money.
And she came and we have not even done any Major thing at all – All I said was: Let somebody shout Hallelujah.
And as she opened her mouth to shout Hallelujah; a worm came out of her mouth.
And from that moment onwards she was whole.
.. So, maybe we should start by asking you to shout Hallelujah – Hallelujah!
And then since you are already standing; why not talk to Him and say: Father, every Plant you have not Planted in me; uproot it right now.
Open your mouth, let Him hear you: You are the Great Deliverer, every Plant you have not Planted in me, whatever I ate in my dream that has become a Problem, whatever enemies has introduced into my Systems, every Plant you did not Plant in me; Almighty God uproot it right now. Everything in my blood that you did not put there, everything in my bone, in my flesh that does not originate from you; Almighty God uproot it right now. Whatever names the Medical Doctors has called it whether Asthma, Hypertension etc; everything that is not of God in my System please uproot it right now.
Thank You Father. In Jesus Mighty Name we have Prayed – Amen.
And so shall it be in Jesus Name – Amen.
Please be seated.
2. And then there could be those who are Mentally Captive
We are not talking about those who are “MAD”; we are talking about those whose Mental Capacities have been tampered with.
Ephesians 4:18 says: The Understanding of some People could be darkened by forces of darkness.
Isaiah 6: 9-10 says: Some People are here without Understanding.
And among us Students, that should be easy to understand: The Lecturer will be doing his best teaching. Somehow, you just could not understand.
2 Corinthians 4: 3-4; the Bible says the mind of the People could blinded by the devil.
You know what that means? – When someone try to explain something to you and suddenly you understand. You will say: “I see”.
… We are not talking about Physical Eyes now but the Eyes of Understanding.
I have been in the Academics world for quite a while before the Lord called me into Ministry. And I know the Pains of students who worked hard, who studied hard and yet they get to the Examination Hall and failed.
I know situations when a very Good Student can get to the Examination Hall and just blank out – I have seen it happened to me before.
In our own days, I don’t know of now; degrees are in categories:
I. We have what they call “General Degrees”.
Here you will take three (3) Subjects because at that time, Graduates are very few – So, they need someone who will be a Graduate, come to Grammar School and go and teach different Subjects.
II. If you are a better Person, more Intelligent; then you do what they call: ” DOUBLE HONOURS” — You can do Physics and Chemistry or Chemistry and Biology or Physics and Mathematics.
… Just two (2) Subjects.
III. If you are exceptionally brilliant in those days; you do what we call “Special Honours”.
In other words, you take only one Subject and focus on it.
Nobody dabbles into Mathematics unless you know yourself. I am not saying this because I studied Mathematics: By the Grace of God I knew that I know Mathematics. It is as if its a Grace – something that you know that you know.
There is this particular subject that I know probably am the best in that particular aspect of Mathematics. I got into the Examination Hall; they will give you eight (8) questions and asked you to answer any five (5) of the questions.
I read the first question, I couldn’t understand it. I read the second, no idea. I read the third, no idea. By now I was beginning to sweat. I read the forth question, I couldn’t see head or tail. I read the fifth, sixth, seventh and eighth.
And when I saw that I could not understand anything; I just said well I will leave. Afterall they will refer me down.
I didn’t know God then but I knew it was the Almighty – He will come to your Aid today – Amen.
So, I sat down. For fifteen (15) minutes; I saw all my colleagues writing furiously but I couldn’t write anything.
But after fifteen (15) minutes; I read the first question again – Haha, this is this Theory. I read the second – Haha, this is this formula. I read the third – Ha!
I answered all the eight (8) questions and like any child will do; I write on top: Mark any five (5).
.. But for one moment, I was blank.
I know that it was the Great Deliverer that came and removed the veil from my brain.
I want you to stand on your feet and say: Father, anything manipulating my brain destroy it right now – Anything tampering with my understanding, Almighty God destroy right now.
Thank You Father. In Jesus Mighty Name we have Prayed – Amen.
And so shall it be in Jesus Name – Amen.
Please be seated.
3. And then there could be those who are Materially Captive.
In the Book of Haggai 1:6; the Bible tells us that it is possible to earn wages into the bags of holes.
In other words, you make money but the money keep on disappearing.
In Haggai 1:9; the Bible says that it is possible to bring in your money and it will blow off.
There are People who can tell you when they sit down at the end of the Year and they calculate their income; they will look round and say what have I spent the money on?
And I know what this one really means because before I met the Lord Jesus Christ when I was a Lecturer at the University of Lagos. Because I came from the Village I was afraid to drive in Lagos because the drivers there need Deliverance. So, I had a driver.
At the beginning of the Month I will pay the driver, by the middle of the Month I will be borrowing from my driver to buy petrol because one way or the other the money just disappeared before the middle of the Month.
Thank God the Lord saved my soul and an end came to all that.
There are forces that can make sure that what you are earning is not producing the results it supposed to produce.
But it is going to change as from today because according to Revelation 3:7 the Bible talks about Jesus Christ – The One who has the Key of David: When He opens, no man can shut; when He shuts no man can open.
PROPHESY: The Lord said that there is someone here the doctors say that you have Migraine. But He asked me to tell you that it is not Migraine but certain hands twisting your brains.
He said that the hands are already cut off now – Amen.
… Today, He will shut the door against those who are taking away your money – Amen. And He will open the doors of Blessings for you – Amen.
In 2 Kings 4: 1-7; there was someone – a widow of one of the sons of the Prophet who was heavily in debt. And the Creditors said that they want to sell her sons to recover her debts.
But she cried to the One who can deliver from Financial Captivity.
And within a day; the entire money she owed was paid off and she has enough money to live on for the rest of her life.
One of my sons who is one of my Partners wanted to lift up my hands but has nothing. He came to the Partners’ Meeting and I Prayed a simple Prayer that in the Mighty Name of Jesus before I see you next time, every debts that you are owing will be paid off. And he said Amen.
But in his Testimony, he said I just said Amen but don’t know God will do it.
Some days later; the Chief Executive Officer (CEO) of the bank called him and said sir, how are you going to pay your debts?
And my son said sir, even if am paying you One Million Naira (N1,000,000) a day; for the number of days have spent in the world (and he was over fifty (50)Years); I can’t finish paying and you know it and I know it.
And the Chief Executive Officer (CEO) looked at him and said: DEBT CANCELLED.
Now, when God wants to deliver you from Poverty, from Financial Captivity; He can use various Methods.
But for Him in my life, I won’t be standing here because my parents were so Poor that Poor People call them Poor.
… In Mathematics, that is Poverty Squared.
I gained Admission to Ilesha Grammar School in Osun State – Nigeria. We were to pay deposits of two Pounds (£2) – they couldn’t find the two Pounds (£2). One way or the other, God Provided.
I got into the Grammar School; after the first Year almost everything in the house was gone. By the time that I managed to finished the second Year, my mother went to see the Principal – Now he has done two (2) Years, could you just give him a Testimonial so that he can go and teach?
And the Principal for one reason or the other said let him do one more Year. Because in those days, they have what they call the Modern School – If he does one more Year, we will give him not just a Testimonial but a Certificate.
Ok, my mother came home, told my father and they sold everything in their Cocoa Plantation and in the house – Then I finished the third Year.
My mother went back to the Principal – Now, he has done three (3) Years. Ha, the Principal said if he can do only one more Year; we will give him G4 (Government Certificate 4). This means that you have done four (4) Years in Secondary School.
My mother was angry, she left the Place. She got home, nothing to sell again. But then God brought somebody (A native of my Village from London) and everybody went to meet him.
So, while everybody surrounding him was rejoicing, he just turned in my direction: Hello little boy and we began to talk. And so he said your English is very good. And I said that am a Student of the Grammar School.
What Class are you now?
Well, am supposed to go to Form 4 but there is no money – He arranged for the fourth Year.
After the 4th Year, now my mother went back to the Principal and said now he has done four (4) Years. The Principal said: What kind of woman are you? Out of five (5) Years, we have already done four (4) Years.
My mother started weeping and I wept that day like I have never done before.
… But one way or the other; I finished School Cert because God was determined to bring my family out of the Pit of Poverty.
I want you to stand on your feet and cry to the Almighty God and said: Father, you are no Respecter of Person; if you can do it for one, you can do it for me – Take my family out of the Pit of Poverty
Open your mouth and cry to the Almighty God: You are the Great Deliverer; there are several things I will love to do for you Oh Lord – It is just that I don’t have the means, Help me bring my family out of the Pit of Poverty. Let Poverty ends in my family. Deliver us from the bondage of Poverty.
Thank You Father. In Jesus Mighty Name we have Prayed – Amen.
And so shall it be in Jesus Name – Amen.
Please be seated.
4. And then the big one now – That is the Spiritual Captivity.
When we talk about demons operating in the lives of human beings; oh they are in various categories:
I. There is one called Oppression.
And when someone is Oppressed; it is as if the Person is carrying a heavy load that he can’t put down.
PROPHESY:
Thank You Father.
1. The Lord said that there is someone here who has a Miracle and then lost it because he wasn’t Grateful. The Almighty God said that since that time you have been crying to Him for Mercy.
He asked me to tell you today that He will restore you – Amen.
2. Daddy says that there is someone here; each time you are about to have a breakthrough you will have a dream in which you will see a particular woman and the breakthrough will slip.
He asked me to tell you that you won’t see that woman again – Amen.
The Bible says in Acts 10:38: How God anointed Jesus Christ of Nazareth with the Holy Ghost and Power who went about doing Good and delivering all that were Oppressed of the devil for God was with him.
Oppression means carrying a burden that is too big for you and you just can’t put it down.
But Oppression actually means that the enemies are coming from outside to attack you. It is not as if the demons are already in you; the demon iis from outside attacking.
And almost invariably, the Agent of the devil doing the attack is someone close – someone who can reach through to you.
I give just one example, you probably heard the Testimony before:
We are having a Program like this and suddenly God spoke and said that there is a lady here that your mother is the one preventing you from being married. That if she does not let you go, she will be buried in seven (7) days. And I just delivered the message the way I got it.
The following day, one young Lady about thirty (30) years old plus came with the mother rushed into my office: Are you the one who said that am going to die?
I said how? I have never seen you before?
She said you are the one teaching these young People some funny things.
I said I didn’t understand.
She said my daughter came home and said you said if I don’t allow her to marry I will die.
I said Ha, so I looked at the girl: Did I mention your name?
That one said No but I know am the one you are talking to.
How do you know?
So, I said mama don’t mind her. I didn’t talk to her, I didn’t mention your name. I said all that God said was that there is someone.
She said is that all? – I said that is all.
She said ok. Then she asked the daughter to go out. So, she turned to me and said: Pastor is it true that the one you are talking about will die?
I said it is not you but what God said will come to Past if the mother will not allow her to marry.
She said it is not that I don’t want her to marry. It is she taking care of me. What will I do if she is married?
I said mama all you need to do is tell us and we will talk to her husband to take care of you mama.
She said: Will you do that?
I said I will. She said she can then go and marry.
Six (6) Months later, the girl was married.
If there is an Force from outside standing in the way of your Progress, your Joy; in the Mighty Name of Jesus Christ, if they don’t let you go they won’t see the New Year – Amen.
But there are several other cases of demonic activities.
II. There is what we call Depression.
Many atimes when they are talking of Depression; they will say the Person is Sad and so on. But it is not just ordinary sadness.
When someone is depressed; under depression he just become weak. He won’t be able to pull himself together to do anything.
III. Then we have what we call Suppression.
IV. And then there is something that is called Regression.
V. But the worst of all is what is called Possession.
That is when the enemies has taken over completely and is now dwelling inside the Victim.
Just one example will do.
In Marks 5: 2-20; the Bible talked about that mad man of Gadara – You heard me talk of him all the time.
He was possessed according to Bible Scholars by six thousand (6,000) demons – They just took absolute possession of the Person.
And the Goal of course is to destroy him and to do so gently.
But I have Good News for anybody who might be under whether it is Oppression, Depression, Suppression, Regression or Possession; every demons bow to the Name of Jesus because it is written in Philippians 2: 9-11 – At the Name of Jesus, every knees must bow; whether of things in Heaven, things on Earth or things underneath the Earth.
I feel like telling you several stories but I will tell you just one that happened on this your Campus.
A friend of mine (as a matter of fact my in-law); belongs to several Cults and then got Born Again and decided no more – I want now to serve Jesus Christ. I have tasted darkness, tasted Light but now know Light is better.
So, he returned all their books because he was the Secretary to many of them. And one of the Cult he belonged to is even in the town – not the small, small ones in the Campus (The real Big Ones).
So, they called him: What do you think that you are doing? Were you not told when you joined that you can’t leave?
He said No: I have seen the Light.
They said they gave him seven (7) days to change his mind and come back.
He said am not coming back as I have decided to follow Jesus Christ.
Fine, we will still wait for seven (7) days.
Seven (7) passed, he went to the library to study, came back at night and entered into his room. In his room, they have three (3) beds – one on the left, right and across. His own bed was across the room facing the door.
And then he knelt down to Pray – The kind of Prayer you Prayed when tired: Lord thank You for what you did today. See you tomorrow.
And he climbed on the bed and almost promptly fell asleep.
And then the Lord woke him up – Son, Pray. Three (3) times God awoke him.
… Am talking of what happened on this Campus.
As he knelt down to Pray, he saw something coming through the door – Huge, dark from top to bottom. There was no time to Pray. But because he was Praying before, there was time to shout a Name.
… Let me hear you shout Jesus – Jesus!
And if you are the one sleeping and you see that thing coming. Even if you don’t want to shout; you will shout.
… Shout Jesus once again – JESUS!
And as he shouted the Name of Jesus, the thing stopped. That gave him courage and then he began to say: In the Name of Jesus I rebuke you.
And as he said that, the thing begin to went back until finally it went out of the door.
When he told me the story; I asked him: Are you sure you didn’t have a dream?
He said that I would have thought that it is a dream but when I shouted Jesus; the boy who was sleeping on the bed on the left rolled over in his sleep and his leg was hanging over the bed. He said that when that thing was going back, the hand of the thing touched the leg. By the following morning the leg was like a log of wood. And the boy was out of the Campus for a whole Year.
That thing was coming just to touch his head but there is a a Name that is above every other names.
I want you to stand on your feet, lift up your voice loud and clear and call that name and call Jesus: Every evil force in my life I rebuke now.
Go ahead, rebuke every evil force operating on any area of your life. Every evil forces trying to attack me, my family; I rebuke in the Mighty Name of Jesus.
Thank You Father. n Jesus Mighty Name we have Prayed – Amen.
And so shall it be in Jesus Name – Amen.
Please be seated.
Let me conclude. I can tell you stories upon stories about the Power in the Name of Jesus Christ. How again and again and again He delivers the Captives.
However, that Name has more Power in the mouth of someone who belongs to Jesus.
In Acts 19: 11-17; the Bible tells us that God performed Special Miracles by the hands of Paul. So much that the handkerchiefs from Paul can drive out demons.
Then some seven (7) sons of Sceva who are not Christians, not Born Again. They have nothing to do with Jesus. They have heard Paul using the Name and so they say we know the tricks now. And suddenly, they saw a mad man full of demons and went to him and say in the Name of Jesus that Paul Preaches; we command you demons get out!
And the devil answered and said: Jesus I know – If He asks me to move, I will move. Paul, I know – he is connected to Jesus. Jesus is backing him up – If he commands me to move I will move. But who are you?
I will tell you a story and then we will close. Some of you have heard it before.
I was invited by one Traditional Ruler in Ogun State – Nigeria. He wanted to celebrate some beautiful things that God has done for him – Children returning from United Kingdom, qualified for this, Miracles for this, Miracles for that.
So, he wanted to do a big Thanksgiving Service and so invited me to come and Preach – he happened to be my son in the Lord.
And so we got there. I have prepared my Sermon on the Topic: That Men should Praise the Lord.
But as we are getting ready for the Service; his Chiefs came to celebrate with him but they are coming dressed in their various Secret Societies Regalia.
The Ushers saw them coming and said: Sir, do you see those who are coming?
I said Yes.
Are we going to allow them in the Church?
I said Ha, of course put them in the front row.
I was much younger then – am talking of 1982. So, I didn’t have much wisdom.
As soon as I saw them representing Satan and I representing the Lord of Host; I changed my Sermon to the Battle on Mount Carmel on the contest between Elijah and the Prophet of Baal – And I Preached a hot Sermon. When I finished, I challenged all of them: I said those if you who are serving Satan I came here with my wife and my son in my car. This is the Number of my car. I want you to use all your powers to make one of my tyres go flat. I said that if you can do that; I will join you to worship your gods. If you can’t do that, you must surrender to my God.
And then I made the Altar Call and the first Person to come forward was the Leader of all the Chiefs and he was the Head of all the Secret Societies. When the other Chiefs saw their Leader going forward, they follow.
… So we had a beautiful time.
When we finished the Service, the Kabiyesi (Royal Highness) said to me. He said “EA” (that is what he calls me); let us visit my High Chief. Let us find out if he understands what you said. Maybe he thought you were asking People to come forward for Healing.
So, we went to him; Kabiyesi (Royal Highness) said Chief So, So, So. He said Kabiyesi (Royal Highness).
Why do you come forward? Do you know what they asked you to do was to surrender your life to Jesus Christ? Why do you do that?
He said Ha. If you see a small boy like this challenging all of us; who does not know that there is somebody behind him? He said it is the One behind him that I surrendered to.
And he was an old man – approaching ninety (90) Years old.
The beauty of the story is that thirty (30) days later; he died. All his life he has served the devil. Just before it is too late, he gave his life to Jesus Christ.
Instead if being a Chief in Hell, he is now a Chief in Heaven.
ALTAR CALL
I don’t know who am talking to here tonight; you might be a Chief among the Cults, you might be a Chief in the Kingdom of the devil but the Almighty God has a Plan for your life and He wants to set you Free tonight.
So, if you are here and you have not yet given your life to Jesus Christ, am going to count from one (1) to ten (10). Before I say ten (10); I want you to come and stand before me here so that my Strong Redeemer can become your Deliverer also. Am counting now …
Don’t wait for anyone. You might be the only one the Almighty God want to set free – The choice is yours.
If you like, you can stay on with the devil. You will discovered that when he has finished using you, he will abandoned you at a critical moment. But if you come to my Great Redeemer, He will Protect you from evil. His Light will shine into your Life and you will have a Brand New Beginning. Come now if He is Calling you.
This is your Day of Freedom from Forces of Darkness; your Day of Freedom from every form of Captivity – Come!
Thank you those of you who are clapping; your hands will never be empty and it will never withered – Clap for Jesus as they Come.
This is your Day, don’t miss this opportunity. The Lord wants to set you Free, want to save your Soul and He wants to make you More than Conqueror.
This is the Day – The Almighty God Himself wants to deliver you. He is the Great Deliverer – Keep Coming.
This is the last count – If you want to come make sure that you get here before I finished Praying because we want to Pray now.
Keep coming – God Bless You!
Now, those of you who are already infront and those of you on the way; cry to Jesus Christ by telling Him please save my Soul. Be my Lord, be my Savour and I will serve you from now. I don’t want to serve the devil anymore, I want to do your Will from this moment onwards.
Let us talk to Him, cry unto Him He will save your Souls. The Bible says those who called upon the Lord shall be saved.
Now, the rest of us let us stretch our hands towards our new brothers and sisters and intercede for them. Pray that the One who saved your Souls will save their own Souls also. Let us intercede for them.
And if anyone still wants to come, you are not late yet, you can come. Just make sure that you get here before I finished Praying. Hurry up if you are on the way.
The Lord is waiting for you. It doesn’t matter how high you are in the Secret Society – Just come to the Lord Jesus Christ, He will take care of you. He is Stronger than the Strongest. When Light shines, darkness cannot overcome it – Come don’t let the devil hold you in Captivity any longer. Let the Day be your Day of Deliverance.
God Bless You – You are welcome. Keep coming. Don’t miss this opportunity because tomorrow might be too late. Don’t let the devil hold you down. Tell him am going to my Maker – The devil is not your Maker. He has no control over your Destiny unless you allow him. Come to the One who decided what your Future will be like – Come and surrender to Him.
Tell the devil to leave you alone and you are going to Jesus Christ. Tear yourself free from the grip of Satan. The Lord is waiting or you. Come and cry to Him – Lord have Mercy on me, save my Soul today.
Thank You Father. 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 to You.
Please remember Your Promise that whosoever will come to 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. Receive them into the Family of God, write their names n the Book of Life. And Father, let Your Light shine into their Life.
From now on, anytime they call on You answer them by Fire. And don’t let them backslide. Let them serve You for the rest of their lives.
In Jesus Mighty Name we have Prayed – Amen!
Those of you infront, let me hear you shout Hallelujah – Hallelujah!
I rejoice with you because from now on by the Special Grace of God; I will be Praying for you.
So, am going to need your name, your address and your Prayer request. The Counsellors will give you a Card which I want you to fill very quickly and then return to them.
We will wait few minutes for you to finish before we Pray the Closing Prayer.
Congratulations – God Bless You!
In the meantime, I want you to stand on your feet. You have already Prayed that the Lord of Host will arose for you. And I believed that He has already arisen for you.
But it is not just that I want you to be Free; I want you to become a Terror for the devil.
So, I want you to lift up your hands to the Almighty God – You are going to Pray that He will anoint your hands that from now on when you lay hands on the sick, they will recover. And He will anoint your mouth that from now when you command demons to flee they will flee.
CLOSING PRAYER
My Father and my God; I want to bless Your Holy Name. I want to thank You for what you have already done tonight because I know that Deliverance is something Spiritual – We might not see any Sign yet Physically but I know that before tomorrow morning; there will be People here who will be singing. Father accept our thanks in Jesus Name.
Now, I commit all these Your children into Your Hands…
PROPHESIES.
- Oh thank You Father. The Lord asked me to tell someone here. He said that you will never suffer another embarrassment – Amen.
- Daddy also said that there is someone here; He said that you are extremely anxious about tomorrow. He asked me to tel you that your tomorrow will be alright – Amen.
… Father, please anoint all these hands. When they lay these hands on the sick, let the sick recover. And every mouth that is saying Amen now, Father anoint them such that whenever they command demons to move, let the demons move.
The Freedom that you have given to Your children today; let it be Permanent.
And Lord God Almighty; very soon let there be several Testimonies coming as a result of these your children Healing the sick, casting out demons and Performing Miracles in Your Name.
Do so much for them that very soon when the devil sees them coming; the devil himself will run.
Thank You my Father and my God. In Jesus Might Name we have Prayed – Amen.
… If you received that, let me hear you shout Hallelujah – Hallelujah!!!
Thank you so much for staying all through to read.
