Well, look for two (2) or three (3) people you have not see this Year yet, and say: “Happy New Year” to them.

Amen! And then you may please be seated.

LUKE 5:1-7;

1 And it came to pass, that, as the people pressed upon him to hear the word of God, he stood by the lake of Gennesaret,

2 And saw two ships standing by the lake: but the fishermen were gone out of them, and were washing their nets.

3 And he entered into one of the ships, which was Simon’s, and prayed him that he would thrust out a little from the land. And he sat down, and taught the people out of the ship.

4 Now when he had left speaking, he said unto Simon, Launch out into the deep, and let down your nets for a draught.

5 And Simon answering said unto him, Master, we have toiled all the night, and have taken nothing: nevertheless at thy word I will let down the net.

6 And when they had this done, they inclosed a great multitude of fishes: and their net brake.

7 And they beckoned unto their partners, which were in the other ship, that they should come and help them. And they came, and filled both the ships, so that they began to sink.

This morning, I want you to lift your voice to God LOUD and CLEAR and say FATHER; let Your Light Shine on my FINANCES.

… Say it again – FATHER; let Your Light Shine on my FINANCES!

This is the story you know very, very well: Peter fished ALL NIGHT, caught nothing! Jesus came in – Preached, and asked him to LAUNCH into the DEEP.

… He did and he caught so much fish – he needed someone to help him carry them!

I have made that Prophecy before, am going to make it again today; that there is somebody here, one day when you are taking your money to the Bank you will need HELP – Amen!

I know it is difficult to believe; but I made that Prophecy before to one fellow several years ago – who was a very Poor Tailor. Who came to me and said – Daddy, I have no money, but I’m a good Tailor. You buy the cloth, and I will make your dress.

I said, okay my son! One day when you take your money to the Bank, the Bank Manager will call you and say: What kind of job are you doing?

He couldn’t believe it! But a day came, Nigeria was traveling for the Olympics and one way or the other, they chose him to sew the dress for everybody going.

When they paid him, and he took the money to the Bank; the Bank Manager called him and said: What kind of job do you say you are doing?

I decree today, on this first Monday of a New Decade, one day, when you take your money to the Bank, the Bank Manager will call you and say: What kind of job are you doing?

If you receive that, let me hear you shout Hallelujah – Hallelujah!

You are going to be Praying quite a few PRAYERS this morning:

1. The first Prayer is based on the fact that when Jesus came to that water, there were two (2) Boats – and He chose the one that belonged to Peter.

… So that is going to be the Foundation for your First Prayer:

“GOD CHOOSE ME FOR ABUNDANT BREAKTHROUGH” – because there were two (2) Boats, and he chose one (1)!

And Matthew 22:14 says: “Many are called but few are chosen”.

Psalms 115:3 says: “Our God is in the Heavens, and He does as He? PLEASES!”

He is the One who decides who to choose.

When you cry to Him this morning that He would choose you, May He grant your request, in Jesus’ Name – Amen!

2. Your Prayer No. 2 (and I hope you are noting them down) – because I’m going to give you time to PRAY this morning. This day is very crucial!

It is that the one He chose became a VESSEL unto HONOUR;

He chose Peter’s boat – He used Peter’s Boat to Preach. No. 1 – That is. Enough! The Boat became a Vessel unto Honour.

But the Owner of the Boat himself is somebody we are all talking about today: He was an Ordinary Fisherman; everywhere you go in the world today, you hear of Peter’s Cathedral, Peter’s Basilica, Peter this, Peter that!

… Because Jesus CHOSE him, he became a Vessel unto Honour!

When you read Numbers 13:25-30; you would notice that when the spies that Moses sent out came back to report; the Bible tells us that ten (10) brought Bad report, two (2) brought Good reports;

… The two (2) were Caleb and Joshua!

If you read that section, it was Caleb who said to the people; let’s go up at once and we can take the land.

Joshua didn’t say a word that night.

Why? – Because Joshua was the one that Moses would send to go and fight! So he knew what was involved in fighting.

It was only in the second day, in Numbers 14:1-8 that Joshua now joined Caleb to say, Oh, let us go, we can take the land – Two (2) of them!

God preserved the two (2) of them (Caleb and Joshua), they got to the Promised Land.

But God CHOSE Joshua to become the Leader of the Nation Joshua 1:1-3.

Why Joshua?

Caleb Was The first one to say, Let’s go! Joshua kept quiet the first time – he didn’t join the ten (10), but he didn’t say a word the first night. He spoke only on the second night.

… But God decides who is going to be chosen!

Before you will even begin to Pray at all; Lift your voice to God and say FATHER; Chose me and Turn me to a Vessel unto Honour!

3. No. 3 Prayer Point: When finally Jesus finished the Preaching and said to Peter, “Launch into the Deep”, Peter said something:

“Only at Thy WORD will I do what You are asking me to do!”

Your Prayer No. 3 is going to be: LORD, let Your WORD be my GUIDE.

Why? – Because Psalms 119:23 says;

“Princes also did sit and speak against me: but thy servant did meditate in thy statutes.”

Jesus Christ says Pay your Tithes: If Your word oh God is going to be my Guide, I will Pay my Tithes.

In Proverbs 3:9-10, Your Word says am to Honour You with my First Fruit. If You say so, I will do so.

Because according to 1Samuel 2:30; if I Honour You, You will honour me in return.

… Let Your Word be my GUIDE!

4. But the Prayer No. 4 – the Biggest of them all, is that Jesus first of all said to Peter: “Launch into the Deep!”

What exactly does that mean – FINANCIALLY SPEAKING?

The Word of God says, he who sows sparingly will reap sparingly; he who sows Bountifully will reap Bountifully!

… BOUNTIFULLY is talking about the Deep!

Oh! There are a lot of Rich people in the world; few are Wealthy; fewer are Prosperous; very, very few are FLOURISHING.

Launch me into the deep; I don’t want to be ordinary or among those who are just Rich. I don’t want to be among those who are just Wealthy. I don’t want to be among those who are just Prosperous.

… I want to FLOURISH!

I will tell you a story, and I will release you to Pray.

It is a story you have heard before.

What happened?

How did God Launch me into the Deep? Because He has done it for me!

… And He is going to do it for you, in Jesus’ Name – Amen!

I told you that years ago, I went to America to attend Kenneth Hagin’s Camp Meeting (my first time), and they wanted to Raise Money for their Bible College

And a man got up and asked that his wife should join him. The wife joined him (they whispered). And then he asked for permission to speak, and they gave him the Microphone.

And he said to all of us – about seventeen thousand (17,000) People, he said: Brothers and Sisters, I beg you, give generously today.

He said, because everything all of you will give (the total of what everybody will give) that is what I WILL GIVE.

… We all thought, Ah! This man is in trouble now.

Those who didn’t want to give before, because we want to get him into trouble, we Gave!

When we finished giving, he said they should add everything – he wanted everything counted before we go.

They counted, everything came to three and half Million Dollar ($3,500,000.00).

We said,: ‘You are finished!’

They gave him the Microphone, he said: Brethren, is that all you can Do?

So I said, this man knows something that I don’t know. As soon as we finished the Service I went to him:

“Sir, what is your SECRET? Tell me, I want to know your secret; I want to be able to stand up one day among thousands of People, and say “EVERYTHING you give, that is what I will give!”

Oh! He said ‘SIMPLE’: He started a business with Five Hundred Dollars ($500) five (5) years ago. And he told God: “This is Your Business, not mine. I will keep 10%, You keep 90%. If You like Prosper the Business.

He said, my friend, five (5) years ago, I started with Five Hundred ($500) Dollar. Now, I have Turnover of Fifty (50) Million Dollars.

… He said: I know what am doing!

I am not saying I’m paying ninety percent (90%) yet – I will get there one day!

But from that day onward, I never paid ten percent (10%) anymore – because I want to Launch into the Deep!

I want to be where it will be possible for me to say: During the Convention; when everybody is gathered. I want to be able to stand up and say: All of you, today every Offering you give, let me have the TOTAL – so I can give the same.

… Launch me into the DEEP! – That will be your Prayer No. 4.

Prayer No. 1 – Choose me for Abundant Breakthrough;

Prayer No. 2 – Turn me to a Vessel unto Honour;

Prayer No. 3 – Let Your Word be my Guide;

Prayer No. 4 – Launch me into the Deep!

But how can you be asking Him to do great things for you when you have not accepted the ORIGINAL INVITATION?

The Original Invitation is: “Come unto me all ye that labour and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest”.

That is the Original Invitation: “Surrender your life to Me, and I will take over your burden”. That is the Original Invitation.

Before you can ask Him to do bigger things; first of all accept the Original Invitation.

ALTAR CALL

So if you are here, and you want to give your life to Jesus Christ, you must RUN! Because the rest of us, we want to Pray – this is not a day for joking!

So if you want to come, you come very, very quickly.

I’m going to count only one (1) to five (5); if you are not already standing before me by the time I say five (5) – the rest of us would continue. Then the choice is yours.

… Am counting now!

Okay! Those of you who have come forward and those of you who might still be on the way, talk to Jesus Christ. Tell Him – I have come to accept Your Invitation; save my soul, and am Yours forever. Forgive my sins, and I will serve You for the rest of my life.

… Go ahead, talk to the Almighty God!

And the rest of us, let us stretch our hands towards these People and intercede for them. And Pray that the One who saved our souls would save their own souls also!

Let us talk to the Almighty God for them; that God will forgive them, that His Blood will wash away their sins. That He would give them a Brand New Beginning. That He would accept them into the Family of God. Please intercede for them!

Anyone else who wants to come? Hurry up, because I want to Pray for Salvation now.

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

PRAYER FOR SALVATION

Saviour, I want to Bless Your Holy Name for Your Word. I want to Thank You for these People that have come forward to surrender their lives to You.

Please, receive them in Jesus’ Name; have Mercy on them, in Jesus’ Name!

Let Your Blood wash away their sins; save their souls, write their names in the “Book of Life”; receive them into the Family of God, Oh Lord!

And from now on anytime they call on You, please answer them by FIRE!

In Jesus’ Mighty Name we have Prayed – Amen!

Now I want to rejoice with those of you who have come forward; because from now on (by the Grace of God) I will be Praying for you.

So I will need your name, address and Prayer request.

If you turn to your left, you will see a man there with a Placard; follow him, he will take you to where some Pastors are waiting. They will collect the information that I need, and then they will bring you back very quickly.

God Bless you! You can begin to go now!

Let us begin to give the Lord a very big round of applause. Remember, it is Jesus you are clapping for!

Thank You Father (2ce). Amen!

Now, remember that whatever happens this Year will determine what will happen in the next ten (10) Years.

Whatever happens this Monday will determine what will happen in all the other Mondays – for the next ten (10) years.

So Pray this Prayer as if your very life depends on it.

Stand on your feet and shout a very BIG HALLELUJAH to God – HALLELUJAH!
