You got Times and Seasons in Your Hands
You called for Light out of darkness

But You have chosen to call me Your Own

You are God ….
You are God from beginning to the End
There is No Place for argument
You are God all by Yourself

You are the Light, You are the Word, You are the Way Maker; please speak Your Words expressly.

Thank You because all Glory remains Yours.
In Jesus Mighty Name we have Prayed – Amen
Can somebody shout a louder Hallelujah – Hallelujah.
Common, do it with Passion.
Let There Be Light!
We want to celebrate this particular Day – It is a Special Day for me to be standing on this “Sacred Altar” before my dad and mum – Daddy GO and Mummy Folu Adeboye.
And all our Leaders here and everyone Present here to Minister the Word.
I will never take it for granted.
Let there be Light; I have two (2) Main Text – Psalms 36:9 and Acts 9: 1-16.
The Bible says:
BIBLE TEXT 1: PSALMS 36:9
For with thee is the fountain of life: in thy light shall we see light.
In this Bible Text 1; the Bible tells us that there are two (2) Lights here – In thy Light shall we see Light.
BIBLE TEXT 2: ACTS 9: 1-16;
1 And Saul, yet breathing out threatenings and slaughter against the disciples of the Lord, went unto the high priest,
2 And desired of him letters to Damascus to the synagogues, that if he found any of this way, whether they were men or women, he might bring them bound unto Jerusalem.
3 And as he journeyed, he came near Damascus: and suddenly there shined round about him a light from heaven:
4 And he fell to the earth, and heard a voice saying unto him, Saul, Saul, why persecutest thou me?
5 And he said, Who art thou, Lord? And the Lord said, I am Jesus whom thou persecutest: it is hard for thee to kick against the pricks.
6 And he trembling and astonished said, Lord, what wilt thou have me to do? And the Lord said unto him, Arise, and go into the city, and it shall be told thee what thou must do.
7 And the men which journeyed with him stood speechless, hearing a voice, but seeing no man.
8 And Saul arose from the earth; and when his eyes were opened, he saw no man: but they led him by the hand, and brought him into Damascus.
9 And he was three days without sight, and neither did eat nor drink.
10 And there was a certain disciple at Damascus, named Ananias; and to him said the Lord in a vision, Ananias. And he said, Behold, I am here, Lord.
11 And the Lord said unto him, Arise, and go into the street which is called Straight, and enquire in the house of Judas for one called Saul, of Tarsus: for, behold, he prayeth,
12 And hath seen in a vision a man named Ananias coming in, and putting his hand on him, that he might receive his sight.
13 Then Ananias answered, Lord, I have heard by many of this man, how much evil he hath done to thy saints at Jerusalem:
14 And here he hath authority from the chief priests to bind all that call on thy name.
15 But the Lord said unto him, Go thy way: for he is a chosen vessel unto me, to bear my name before the Gentiles, and kings, and the children of Israel:
16 For I will shew him how great things he must suffer for my name’s sake.
… Let there be Light!
We have learnt during the course of this Special Holy Ghost Service what Light is.
But for the sake of repetition because Faith cometh by hearing – Hearing the Word of God.
John Gospel Chapter 1: 1-9. It tells you exactly what Light is?
The Bible says Light is the Word and Light also is Life and that Light is Jesus Christ and that Life is Jesus Christ and that the Word is Jesus Christ.
… So, Light is Jesus Christ! – That is the summary, No Controversy.
Now, in the Passage that I have read; the Bible says in Psalms 36:9 that in their Light I see Light.
It is only in Jesus that we can see Right. It is only in Jesus that we can see Light; that we can see Direction – The Right Way to go; the Right Thing to do; the Right Way to do it.
Now, in Acts of Apostle Chapter 9 where we read from Verse 1 through to Verse 19; the Bible talks about a man that was born Great but a lot of things surrounded him and made him to be less than what God ordained him originally to be.
But in his own eyes and in the eyes of men around him; he thought that he was at the Peak of Life.
And that is why you see that there is no level you attained now by man’s definitions; you are not there yet – You are not where you ought to be.
And I believed God, by the reason of this Service that you are Present; whatever is it that have been holding you down from where God wants you to get to, that thing will lose his grips in the Name of Jesus – Amen.
In the Passage we read in Acts 9; there are four (4) things quickly that I want to tall to you about:
- It is revealing in that Passage that: God is the Ultimate!
Psalms 24:1; it says: The Earth is of the Lord and the Fullness thereof.
That is everything that dwell there.
So, God owns everything including the Unbelievers that are out there.
God owns all of us and He has Power over all of us.
Because according to Lamentations 3: 37; the Bible says: Who is He that saith and comes to Pass when the Lord has not spoken?
Saul of Tarsus determined in his heart as he has been doing before – Persecuting the Church itself.
He said: Ok, let me get license to go and kill again.
And he was on that Mission to get the Licence to kill and the “Sun of Righteousness” according to Malachi 4:2 ambushed him and said: I OWN YOU!
I am the Owner, I Made you for a Purpose but you are going in a wrong route. I will redirect you.
That is why when he came out, He told him: I’m going to put you on a Street called STRAIGHT so that your Life will be Straightened.
The Street that He led Saul of Tarsus to was called Straight so that the Life of Saul will be Straightened.
And I Pray for somebody here that you have been going on a wrong route – Because you are Present in this Service, God will straightened up your Life – Amen.
Every form of crookedness will be lined up with the Plans and Purpose of God in the Name of Jesus – Amen.
… God is the Ultimate!
- God is also the Owner of All Things.
Like I have said earlier but that is another addition – He is the Ultimate Owner of All things.
Not just human beings but He is the Owner of Nations, Owner of Cities, Owner of Homes – He is the Owner of All Things (Living and Non Living).
And so He can use anything to arrest or release His people from any form of bondage or difficulties.
That is why He use one Creation that is the Sun.
He created the Sun for a Purpose and that Sun came and shone on Saul of Tarsus.
So, if He can use the Nature. If He has to use what He has created to arrest a Man; He is ready to do that because He owns All things.
2. Another thing you need to know about the Passage is that Evil cannot last.
It does not matter how far evil is travelling; one say the truth will overtake it.
In my own native town adage where I am from originally. It is said that: Lies may be running for a thousand Year, in one day Truth will overtake.
So, I don’t care how long that lie has been running in your Life because you are in this Service today; Truth will overtake that lie in your Life – Amen.
Every lie of the devil concerning you; the Lord will put an end to it today in the Name of Jesus – Amen.
3. Another one is that There is always a New Beginning- God always create opportunity for New Beginning.
On that day; Saul of Tarsus experienced a New Beginning because the Light came from Heaven.
I Pray for somebody that has been wandering about in Life. Because you are in this Service today, the Lord will cause His Light to come upon you and there will be a New Beginning for you – Amen.
So, when Light comes; what will happen?
We are going to look at the story of Saul to consider what will happen when there is Light that shine forth because we are talking about: Let there be Light.
So, when the Light came upon Saul of Tarsus:
- The first (1st) thing that happened in that Passage was that Saul was Convicted.
Light has the Power to Convict the sinners.
So, he was convicted because he said: What do you want me to do? After all the conversation.
Now, he was convicted of what he has been doing wrong because he called Jesus Lord.
2. The Second (2nd) thing that happened was that he was converted.
Now, many people are convicted but not converted.
We have a lot of convicted people who are convicted of their sin. They knew that they are sinners but they are not yet converted.
They have not yet taken the steps to get converted, be Change, be Transformed.
So, that is why they have been in Church for Years and things have not changed.
But Saul of Tarsus got converted from Judaism to Christianity.
He was so passionate of the Religion of his fathers such that he was doing it with Passion – But in the way, in the wrong direction.
So that day, he got converted because he submitted to the Maker of All things – What do you want me to do?
And by that Encounter, he was commissioned. He was commissioned for an assignment that he has been raised before he was formed in the womb.
I Pray over somebody in this Service: In any area that you have been held bound or back from fulfilling God’s Purpose in your Life; this Day, God will move you to that Purpose in the Name of Jesus – Amen.
The Power that is holding you will let you go – Amen.
3. Another thing that happened to Saul of Tarsus is that he moved from being a Persecutor of the Mission that he was raised for to become the Propagator of it.
He was Persecuting the Church – Killing the Saints but by the Singular Encounter, he became the Propagator of that Vision.
I Pray for you in the Name that is above every other names; maybe you are yet to know what God has called you and you are fighting against the course God has raised you up for – Maybe in your home, or marriage, or in the land that you belong to.
That you don’t know that you are positioned in this country to be a Blessing but your attitude and way of doing things have been working against the Progress of the Nation one way or the other.
I Pray for you and I Pray for myself – From being a Persecutor, we will become a Propagator – Amen.
4. He changed from being a Persecutor (he was Persecuting the Church) to become a Protector of the Church.
5. He moved from being a Pharisees to become a Patriot.
He became a Patriot of the Vision of the Grace of God, the reason why God raised him, the Nation of Israel that God has birth as its own first (1st) born – To be an example to other Nations.
6. He moved from being Religious to having a Relationship with God.
Many people are Religious but they don’t have Relationship.
But I Pray for you and I Pray for myself that in any area that probably we are still Religious in one way or the other; Jehovah God will deliver us in the Name of Jesus – Amen.
Now, by the Encounter also; he moved from a Stranger to become a Son.
A Stranger is somebody who is outside who does not have part in the Inheritance of the Father of the house. But a son has part in the Inheritance – He has rights over the Inheritance.
From being a Stranger, he became a son.
I Pray for you in the Name of Jesus: Is there any area you need God; you are coming to the Church.
But you are still a Stranger because you have not Totally surrendered your Life to God.
I Pray for you by this reason of your Encounter with Him today; God will move you to the level of becoming a son.
In the Book of John 1: 12; it says that as many that received Him, He make them to become a sons.
7. He moved from being a Son to being a Student.
Because if you are a son and not a student; you don’t have the privilege to sit under the one who is called the Great Teacher to teach you and live by the details of the Word.
You can still be in the house and still be deprived of the blessings.
Son moved to a student.
Jesus at the age of twelve (12) Years old was in the Temple hearing and asking questions.
Many of us that are sons; we are not yet students because there are some things we say I cannot swallow this until you move to that level. There are some things we cannot enjoy, there are some things Light cannot deliver to you.
… Mark 3: 10-14 will elaborate more on that.
8. He moved from being a Student to Servant.
Servant has no rights of his own. Servants is totally committed to his Master. And until we get to that level; the Light will not be beneficial to us as much – Amos 3:7; Mark 3: 10-14.
9. The last is the Peak and it is Secret Service Agent.
This is the Inner Caucus that even Jesus among His Disciples – Peter, James and John they go with Him to “Secret Places” to reveal “Secret Things.”
Amos 3:7 said that I will reveal secrets to my Servant Prophet.
Psalms 42:8 says: Deep calleth unto Deep.
Another thing that will begin to happen when Light comes is that your sins will be forgiven – This is very important according to Isaiah 40:2.
Your sins will be forgiven when Light comes upon you because the sins of Saul were forgiven him.
God changed his name from Saul to Paul the Apostle.
The next thing that will happen is that you will be remembered.
Because when Light comes upon you, your Day of Remembrance has come.
I speak over somebody in this Service – Because you are here and the Light of God is Present here; this is the Day of your Remembrance for Good. God will remember you for Good.
Rachel was remembered according to Genesis 30:22 and Noah was remembered according to Genesis 8:1.
The next thing that will happened when the Light of God comes upon you is that: You will be favoured.
You cannot be under the Light of God and you will not enjoy the Favour of God – Psalms 103:12.
The next thing that will happen to you when the Light of God breaks up over your Life is that war will cease.
Every for of war, the Lord will give you Victory.
And God has spoken that this Year is a Year of Series of Joy and Series of Victories.
I Pray for you and I Pray for myself; any battle -known and unknown, in the secret or in the open; Jehovah God will cause His Light to come upon us and we will overcome in the Name of Jesus – Amen.
Saul was fighting a “Battle of SELF” – Self Made.
He was a Pharisees, he has PhD in Law Study under a renowned Professor. He thought that he has arrived.
He was fighting the “Battle of Self” – This is who I am. I am this, I am that.
There are still many people that are fighting that battle.
I Pray for you and I Pray for myself; in any area that we are fighting battles let the Lord give us Victory in the Mighty Name of Jesus – Amen.
Then Your Word will come when Your Light comes – Psalms 103:19.
And as I round up; I Pray for you that in this Season; every form of hindrances and obstacles that has been hindering the Light of God to come upon me will be eradicated – Amen.
As you rise on your feet; the summary of everything is that: When Light comes upon a man, there is a New Beginning.
For you to enjoy New Beginning; Light must come.
And who is that Light?
… JESUS CHRIST as we have said!
Therefore, I want to announce: If you have not at anytime given your Light to Jesus; this is the right time.
If you have done it in the Past and you backslide; please come back as He is waiting for you.
Anyone that wants to do that can please come forward quickly so that our father in the Lord can Pray for you.
Come; Today is the Day. Because when you don’t come under the Light; darkness will invade your Life and terrorise it.
Come please. Let is clap for Jesus as they come.
CLOSING PRAYERS
I Pray that the Lord will breathe upon these Words and will do us Good in the Name of Jesus – Amen!
