GENERAL ANNOUNCEMENT
- By the Grace of God if the Lord tarries; the RCCG November 2021 Holy Ghost Service will take Place on 5th of November, 2021.
The Theme for the November 2021 Holy Ghost Service will be: “GOD BLESS YOU – PART 10 (THE APPOINTED TIME).
- We want to bless the Name of the Lord for the Young Adults and Youth Convention 2021.
This Year’s Young Adults and Youth Convention 2021 is the Best we have had so far.
You know the Program started on Monday (27th of September 2021) till the end of the week (Friday, 1st October, 2021) and I am telling you that I have been “Tremendously Blessed”.
The Hand of the Lord was upon the Speakers like never before – Many of them spoke even beyond what they Planned to say because God answered my Prayers.
I said that I want a very Special Young Adults and Youth Convention and He gave me one.
I think you should help me shout Hallelujah to God – Hallelujah.
- Exclusive Report on Pastor E.A Adeboye Stand on whether to take the Covid19 Vaccination or Not.
Ephesians 3:20-21:
20 Now unto him that is able to do Exceeding Abundantly above all that we ask or think, according to the Power that worketh in us,
21 Unto him be Glory in the Church by Christ Jesus throughout all Ages, world without end. Amen.
I would have loved to spend quality time on verse 20, but maybe a day would come where we would look at that in some details.
Because one of the boys who spoke before me tonight, touched on that.
He said that:
- God is Able;
- He is not just Able, but “Able to do”.
… He should Probably have gone to Abundantly.
- God is “Able to do Abundantly”.
- And then, he can even Exceed what is already Abundant.
- And then ‘Above All that we Ask”.
- And then “Above All that we Think”.
- And then “According to; in Proportion to what? – His Power!”
You know, somebody emphasised that one.
Which Power? – The one that is working in us.
That one alone would have been enough food for thought tonight.
But then because of our limited time:
WHAT IS EXPECTATION?
… And many of my children gave some beautiful definitions of Expectation.
I would like to define Expectation in the language that the Market Woman would understand by saying that: Expectation is what will happen subject to all things being equal.
For example: All things being equal in June (in Nigeria) it will rain! – That Is our Expectation for June.
All things being equal, if you have a job, at the end of the Month, you would be Paid – That is the Expectation of all those who have a job.
All things being equal – That means if you are not sacked before the end of the Month; if the place of work does not burn down; if somebody has not lied against you to say you stole company’s Property – You know that, all things being equal, at the end of the Month you would be Paid.
… That is Expectation – What will happen if all things are equal.
Let me give you another explanation of what we mean by Expectation; when a child is born and is a girl – All things being equal, after a certain Age she should become a Mother.
All things being equal, there is a Potential in a baby girl that one day – All things being equal, she will give birth. And as she begins to grow to Adult Age, everything she needs to become a Mother (which was already in her when she was born) would begin to manifest.
A girl doesn’t go to the Market at the Age of shall we say 15 Years, to go and buy breasts.
No, No, No! – The breasts are already inside her, waiting to manifest at the correct time, all things being equal.
All things being equal, you will leave here with a Testimony – Amen.
So when a boy is born (a child is born and is a boy) all things being equal, he will become a father someday – That is the Expectation!
Now if this boy should be married say at the Age of 20, and he got the first baby at the Age of 21 and that baby is a girl; all things being equal, that boy, who has now become a father can become a grandfather around the Age of forty (40) something.
If his first grandchild is a girl, all things being equal, he could become a great-grandfather in his sixties (60s). And if the child born at that time is a girl, all things being equal (if the man doesn’t die before then) he could become a great, great grandfather in his eighties (80s). And so on and so forth.
But not everybody will become a great, great grandfather. That all things being equal, the boy could become a father – Normal Expectation.
That all things being equal, before he dies he could become a grandfather – Normal Expectation.
But when all of a sudden you find someone who has become a great, great, great, great grandfather – That one is Exceeding Expectations.
… I hope you understand that now? – Okay!
Now like the last brother who spoke before me said: When we are talking about Expectations there are basically two (2) Perspectives:
- God’s Perspectives.
- Your Own Perspectives – Man’s Perspectives.
There is nothing too hard for God to do.
As a matter of fact, His Name is Jehovah El Shaddai Genesis – 17:1. The first time God introduced Himself to Man, He said: I Am Jehovah El Shaddai.
And Bible Scholars say: Jehovah El Shaddai means “Jehovah your Mother’s Breast”.
That is why they call Him the God who is More Than Enough.
There is “Enough Milk” in a Mother’s breast to feed four (4) children at the same time. And it is the children who will say: We don’t want any more. The milk will still be flowing.
I. GOD CAN EXCEED YOUR EXPECTATIONS – PHYSICALLY.
So it is an easy thing for Jehovah El Shaddai to Exceed ALL Expectations – Physically.
He has the ability to heal just one (1) Fellow and leave the Place – John 5:2-14.
He can heal you first, then inform you how to remain well.
But then, in Matthew 8:14-17; the Bible tells us that He could heal ALL. He could meet the Expectations of everybody.
Why? – He is Jehovah El Shaddai.
Which is why I am Prophesying in His Name that: All of you who are in Need of Healings, receive your Healing, in Jesus’ Name – Amen.
But when you read the Story of Naaman; which that brother mentioned also, in 2 Kings 5:1-14 – He can heal the one that is Incurable.
Like the Testimonies we have already heard tonight.
But He can go beyond that – He can Exceed the Expectations of the Incurable.
Because when Naaman went for Healing, all he wanted was for the leprosy to be gone. He wasn’t expecting that there will be no scars left.
When somebody has leprosy, one of the Signs of leprosy is that the fingers will be cut off; the toes will be cut off, the nose will be disfigured.
When God healed Naaman, there was no scars left! – The fingers that had drop-off came back.
The Bible says his Skin became back to him like that of a newborn baby.
I Pray in the Name that is above every other names: When God heals you today, the Sign that you had ever been sick before will not even be there – Amen.
I remembered the Testimony of one Young Man who used to be our Director of Music. He said that when we say: ‘There is someone here that something is happening to’; he said that he never believed.
But then, he had this Problem; that a boil would appear on any Part of his body. When the boil breaks, some stinking water will flow out of it and then the Pain will heal. But it will leave a scar. And scars were all over his body.
And then as we were Ministering – It was in the Old Auditorium. God spoke and said: “There is someone here the scars are gone.
And he said: Ah! I am the one who has scars. He ran to the toilet to check and the scars were gone!
If you have never received a Miracle before, receive one right now – Amen.
II. GOD CAN EXCEED YOUR EXPECTATIONS – FINANCIALLY.
Psalms 24:1 says: The Earth is the Lord’s and the Fullness thereof.
Haggai 2:8 says: The Silver is mine, the Gold is mine saith the Lord.
Psalms 50:9-20 says: The cattle’s upon a thousand Hills are mine.
Philippians 4:19 says: My God shall supply ALL…;
And Bible Scholars have said: “The All” He said there is ‘your Need’ not ‘your Wants’.
But I want you to know: My God can Exceed your Expectations!
One of the Speakers tonight mentioned 2 Kings 4:1-7 (that is why I thought maybe he saw my Notes).
In 2 Kings 4:1-7, there was a Widow who ran to Elijah for help. All she wanted was that her debt would be Paid.
But after the debt was cleared, she had enough to last for the rest of her life because God exceeded her Expectations.
I Decree in the Name of the One Who called me: Not only are you going to get out of debt, you would never need to borrow again – Amen.
In John 6:5-13, when Jesus Christ wanted to feed five thousand (5,000) Men, not counting Women and children with the Lunch of a small boy.
Not only were they all fed, there were are still leftovers to fill twelve (12) baskets.
… He exceeded their Expectations!
In John 2:1-11, at the Wedding in Cana of Galilee – Not only did He meet the request of His Mother Mary; who said they needed wine. All they wanted was something to drink to keep the Party going. But God exceeded their Expectations: not only in Quantity, but also in Quality.
The Master of Ceremony (MC) said – When People are drunk they bring out the worse wine. But now, when People are drunk (in your own case) you brought the Best Wine.
In the Name of the One Who can Exceed All Expectations: Your Best Is yet To come – Amen.
… Thank You Lord!
The Lord says there is someone – The doctor said there is a hole in the heart of your child. Go for another checkup, the hole is gone- Amen!
Daddy wants me to tell someone who is becoming fearful because of all the dangers – Kidnapping, this and that! The Lord asked me to tell you Relax, Safety belongs to Me.
III. GOD CAN EXCEED YOUR EXPECTATIONS – MARITALLY.
One of the Boys has already mentioned that one. Let me just give one (1) example that he mentioned.
He said Hannah asked for only one (1) Child and God gave her six (6) children – 1 Samuel 2:20-21.
… She asked for one (1) she got six (6).
I have a feeling God is talking to a Woman in Particular; when your children begin to come, you are going to need Assistance – because they will be coming in Multiple.
IV. GOD CAN EXCEED YOUR EXPECTATIONS – SPIRITUALLY.
… And I like that one very much!
Because it says in Psalms 23:5 – Thou Preparest a Table before me in the Presence of mine enemies: thou anointest my head with Oil; my cup runneth over.
I have told you before that: When I was doing a Study in Pslams 23 for the first time and I got to that Place; I asked God: “When the Cup was filled, why didn’t You Stop?” He said: “I just want you to know there is much more where this one is coming from.
I don’t know if you can believe it but one of the Boys who spoke before me tonight said:
If you want to Exceed your Expectations, you must be a Man or Woman of Faith.
But I am decreeing to someone here or reading this Message on the Label of DMC: God is going to give you more Anointing than He has given me – Amen!
Not only can He deliver a Mad Man, He can turn him to an Evangelist.
You know the Story in Mark 5:2-20; All that that Mad Man could ever expect is that he would be free from the demons.
But God Exceeded his Expectations by setting him free and then turned him to an Evangelist.
It took a Man who himself said he was a Chief among Sinners – That is Saul of Tarsus. He said in Timothy 1:15 – I am the Chief of all sinners.
But God took that Man, not only did He save his Soul; not only did he call him into His Ministry; in 2 Corinthians 11:5, the Almighty God turned him to the Chiefest of the Apostles.
There is someone today who does not know that he or she could be used of God; but I am assuring you in the Name that is above every other names, you are going to Preach Christ throughout the whole world.
… If you are the one, let me hear you say Amen loud and clear – AMEN!
Now let’s go to INDIVIDUAL MANIFESTATIONS.
Because there are more to discuss on that Aspect. But the Youth have covered up most of the Grounds.
… Thank You Father! Thank you Lord.
The Lord says: There is someone, you have lost so many Opportunities, that by now the best Nickname they could give you would be “LOST-IN TRANSIT’ – Because anytime a Miracle is coming, before it arrived, it is gone!
The Lord asked me to tell you: by the time I finished with you, your Nickname would be RESTORED COMPLETELY – AMEN.
Now the rest of the Sermon, if I don’t finish it – you can find it in the “Special Song” that was sang tonight.
If you Pay attention to our Special Hymns, you will notice we don’t just Compose – Every Song is telling a Story.
The Hymn of tonight is a Prophecy to you – That you can Exceed Expectations.
LET’S LOOK AT THE INDIVIDUAL ASPECT of EXCEEDING EXPECTATIONS.
I. You can Exceed Expectations by Making Up with God.
… You can Exceed in all Human Expectations by making up with God.
The Next Verse of our Special Hymn says:
I am going to Exceed in Strength.
Why? – Because I am linked to Him Who can never fail.
Because the Bible says clearly that: Those who wait upon the Lord; according to Isaiah 40:28-31; shall renew their Strength.
The first Verse of our Hymn says:
I can walk, I can run;
I won’t faint,
I will Mount with wings like an Eagle.
It is wrong to say that, as soon as you get to a certain Age; you will become weak.
.. It all depends on who you are linked with.
There are some of you here or reading now on the Label of DMC: From now on, as you grow older, you will get Stronger – Amen.
Some Years ago, some of my children (Young Ones) they decided to go with me A-Fishing – And on that Particular day, we took off from Port Harcourt, travelled by road to stop by the way – Benin, Owo, Akure, Ilesha, Osogbo. And finally we got to Ilorin around 8pm.
We left Port Harcourt at 6 am and my children sayis: Thank God, at long last we are going to rest. I said but they are waiting for us at Lokoja.
Are we going to Lokoja tonight? – I said of course, we are going to Lokoja.
Finally, we got to Lokoja around 11pm – After whatever we wanted to do; we ate and we got to bed around 1:00am.
By 5:00am, I woke them up – It’s time to go! Ah! I had to be Praying for the driver that you won’t fall asleep.
Then we got to Ogbomosho, Oyo, Ibadan. And on my list, we still had to go to Abeokuta, Ilaro and so on. But when we got to Ibadan, I just felt in my Spirit that some People must have been Praying.
So I announced, I said: Let’s go home we have tried – All of them shouted Hallelujah!
They were not the ones Preaching; they were just sitting in the car with me, traveling alone got them tired.
… But it is Possible never to be tired.
I decree in the Name that is above every other names: From now on; every day God will renew your Strength – Amen.
II. You can Exceed Expectations even in your Life.
What the Bible says in Psalms 90:10 is that: You are normally to live up to 70 or maybe 80 years. But Moses lived up to 120 years.
And according to the Deuteronomy 34:7 – Even at the Age of 120, the Bible says his eyes were still Sharp and he was still Strong enough to father a child.
Why? – Because God says in Psalms 91:14 -16; He says: “With Long Life will I satisfy you”.
Whether the devil likes it or not, you will not die before your Time – Amen.
III. God can Exceed your Expectations Materially.
… But one of the Boys has already mentioned that one too.
When Solomon gave that one thousand (1,000) burnt Offerings and God visited him; all he expected was Wisdom and Understanding.
But God exceeded his Expectations – Gave him money beyond what he can even spend; gave him Long Life, he never fought a Single War – at a time when Kings go to war every year.
… God can exceed your Expectations Materially and otherwise!
IV. Now, God (through you) can show the world that you as an individual, can Exceed your expectations Spiritually.
Acts 5:14-16 tells us about a Man called Peter – A fisherman whose Shadow began to heal the sick.
You can be the Next Fellow that God will use in that manner – Amen.
Everytime I read anything in the Bible, what comes to my Mind is – If God can do it for that Fellow and He is no respecter of Persons; He can do it for me too.
You are going to Exceed all Expectations as you Minister in the Power of the Holy Spirit – Amen.
I can remind you – Some of you would remember that time, in the very first of Auditorium by the Expressway; when God suddenly said: There were some People who had serious back Pain. And that they have not been able to touch their feet for a very long time.
And he asked me to call them out, and I did. And I thought He was going to ask me to lay hands on them or to slap their backs, or something. He said I should dance around them.
If I didn’t know the Voice of the Lord; I would have said: Dance! – Why will I say I am dancing? Am I rejoicing because your back is aching?
But I danced and after I had finished dancing (in obedience) like one of the Boys said. God said, that is enough! Tell them to touch their toes and they were all Healed – Nobody laid hands on them! But the Almighty God wanted to demonstrate His Power.
That kind of Anointing to Exceed Expectations in Ministry – Receive it tonight in Jesus’ Name – Amen.
You can Exceed Expectations Spiritually, because the Bible says in 1 Corinthians 12:31…
… Thank You Father!
This must be very Special for Someone.
When we were in Ilesha Grammar School, there was one of us (in my class) who failed at the end of one Year. So we left him behind; we moved on! He struggled, and finally, he too finished, and then went to the University like any of us.
But by the time many of us who thought we were Smarter were Lecturing in the Universities, struggling. That fellow had become a Vice Chancellor of one of the Prestigious University in Nigeria.
The Lord asked me to tell you that Story because He says there is someone, He is going to move you from the Title of “Left Behind” to the Title of “Arrived First” – AMEN.
… You can Exceed Expectations in Spiritual Gifts.
You can Exceed Expectations in Spiritual Gifts, because in 1 Corinthians 12:31; the Bible says covet earnestly the Best Gift.
There are many of us, all our Expectations from God is at least one (1) Spiritual Gift.
And some of us, if we ask you what Gift do you want from God? – You will simply say the Gifts of Healing.
Very few people ask for the Gift of Miracles, Working of Miracles.
But God says you can covet earnestly the Best Gift – You can have the Gift of Healing, you can have the Gift of Working on Miracles, you can have the Gift of Word of Knowledge, you can have the Gift of Word of Wisdom, you can have the Gift of Prophecy, etc.
You can have it ALL – It all depends on you!
After all, He says in John 14:14 – “if you ask ANYTHING in My Name I will do.”
I have told you before, when I read 1 Corinthians 12:31 for the first time, I said: Thank You Lord – I want the Anointing on Elijah Plus the Anointing on Elisha, Plus the Anointing on Peter, Plus the Anointing of our Lord Jesus Christ (while He was here on Earth). roll everything together and then Double it.
And God spoke to me and said: Son, you are asking for trouble.
I said: You are the One Who says I can ask for anything.
He said: If you ask for it, I can give you; only they won’t let you rest.
How many of you will say: I don’t care God, just let me Exceed my Expectations Spiritually.
Anybody like that? – You want enough Power to do anything: You want to wave your hands and the Dead will rise, you want to wave your hands and the sick will be Healed’, you want waved the Handkerchiefs in your hands and they become Anointed and the Handkerchiefs will be used to heal the sick and wrought Miracles.
Do you want that kind of Power? YES! I can’t hear you – YES!!!
DIGGING DEEP SESSION.
… Let’s do a little bit of Digging Deep. It won’t be much – I am about to close:
- You can Exceed all Expectations of your Commitment to Jesus Christ.
You know somebody gave a definition of a Fanatic before.
He said: “A Fanatic is someone who loves Jesus Christ more than you”.
… That is his definition of a Christian Fanatic.
You can Exceed all Expectations of your Commitment to Jesus Christ – You can Love Him so much, be ready to serve beyond the Call or Duty.
In Acts 21:8-14, a Prophet came to the Company of Paul and said to him: “You are going to be bound in Jerusalem.”
The Holy Spirit has asked me to go and tell you, you don’t have to go because if you go there, trouble will be waiting for you.
And everybody said, if the Holy Spirit has come to tell you don’t go – Sit down!
He said: What are you talking about? I am going there to Preach. I am not only ready to be bound.l, I am ready to die.
… That is called Exceeding Expectations!
If I ask all of you reading – How many of you want to go and start a Church in America? – Hands will go up! How many of you would like to go and start a Church in Sweden? – Oh, no Problem! If I say, how many of you would like to go and start the Church in Iran? – Let me go and Pray about it first!
But I have told you the Story before – One of the Stories I heard when I was a Young Christian that fired me up.
Newlywed Couple came to a Particular Country in Africa to Preach the Gospel as Missionaries – They were Newlywed.
When they got to a Place and they saw a Big Wall around a Particular Section, and asked: What is going on? Is there a Village in there?
The Man at the gate said: Yes, it is a Leper Colony. Everybody inside there is a Leper. We throw food to them over the wall.
And the Couple said: Has anybody Preached Jesus Christ to them before?
The Man again said: What are you talking about? Maybe you don’t understand what I am saying: Anybody who goes in there doesn’t come out.
But we want to Preach to them. If nobody has never spoken to them, we will want to go!
The Man at the gate said: It looks as if you don’t understand. If you go in there you are not coming out.
The Young husband looked at his Young wife – Darling, what do you say? The wife said: All that Jesus Christ said is: GO! He didn’t say anything about coming back.
So, they turned to the gatekeeper, he opened the door, they went in and the door was shut!
That is one Couple I am going to look for when I get to Heaven.
… You can Exceed all Expectations in your commitment to Jesus Christ.
- You can Exceed all Expectations in your Consecration to Him.
That is an area where it should be easy for you as an individual, to make up your Mind – I am going to Exceed all Expectations.
… Thank You Daddy!
Oh, Daddy asked me to tell someone – He said: All the People who wants you dead are gone, except one. And He asked me to tell you that the remaining one, unless he comes to beg you; he is not going to see the end of this Year – AMEN.
In Philippians 3:7-11 Paul said: All things that were Gain to me, I let it go. Why? – That I may win Christ.
… He said: I surrendered all to You because I want to know You More.
I want to be allowed to have a taste – Not only of His Power, not only of His Restoration, but even a Fellowship of His Suffering.
So I give all to Him: If I live, I live for Him, if I die, oh that will be Gain.
Consecration – That Closeness, that Total Surrender to God, that says: ‘Whether I live or I die I don’t care! I belong to Jesus.
- You can Exceed the Expectations of your Friends along that line.
Again I tell you a Story that I heard when I was young – That a Lady Evangelist came to Africa, Preached in a Village, People there got Born Again.
Then she said: Any other Village?
They said, there is one of them but there are many Lions along the way. And the way they have been roaring means they have been hungry for quite a while.
And she said but I want to go there to Preach! And they said, the Lions won’t allow you to get there, they will kill you by the way.
She said, but I want to get to them. I want to go and Preach to them.
And one Elderly Man there said: In that case, I will go with you.
The Lady looked at him and said: You can’t even Protect yourself against a Lion; how can you Protect me?
And the Old Man said: You don’t understand. Lions don’t kill except when they are hungry. I will go ahead and they will kill me. And while they are eating me, you can go and Preach.
… Consecration!
You can Exceed your Expectations in your Consecration to Jesus Christ.
- You can Exceed your Expectations in Prayer.
You can Pray more than everybody else – You can!
In 1 Kings 18:41-45; after Elijah told Ahab – I have heard the Sound of Abundance of rain. And he told the rest People, go and eat. And himself went to the top of the Mountain, threw himself down, put his face between his knees and began to Pray.
This was a Man who Prayed for two (2) Minutes and Fire fell.
Now he wanted water to fall and water refused. He Prayed the first time, he Prayed the Second time, he Prayed the third time – He just kept on Praying until the rain fell.
You want a Revival, but are you Willing to Pray for it?
You want Anointing, are you willing to Pray for it?
You want Breakthroughs, are you willing to Pray for it?
Because in 1Thessalonians 5:17 the Bible says: You are even to Pray without ceasing.
… We can Exceed Expectations in Prayer!
When I became General Overseer, our Church was ‘Big’ – The Headquarters Plus thirty nine (39) Branches in one corner of Nigeria.
And then I went with my Best Friend (I can still see one (1) or two (2) of them here). The rest have gone!
And we went to Ilorin and we Prayed for thirty six (36) Hours Non-stop.
And when I say Non-stop, we would break for five (5) Minutes to go to the toilet and then start again – No Food, no sleep, Nothing!
…. You can’t be Praying that kind of Prayer and be eating!
After the thirty six (36) Hours of Prayers, God spoke – Told us several things. I mean some of the things that we are seeing now. And I was happy, I released them – They all went back to their Stations.
Thank You Lord, we Prayed for Thirty six (36) Hours. We are Prayer Warriors now!
And then I came across the Story of a Man who Prayed for thirty (30) days and Thirty (30) nights Non-stop – Never slept for thirty (30) nights, day in day out.
… I have not been able to catch up with him – He Exceeded all my Expectations of Praying.
You can Exceed in Prayer! And you can exceed in Prayer if you can just cry unto God and say I am not going to let You go. You will get to a Stage where He will say all right, get what you want.
One of these days I will show you a spot in this Camp Ground.
Some of you have heard about it – I have been crying to God: God empower me. I was minding my own business as a Lecturer in the University when You said I should leave everything and follow You. I have done that, now I can’t do this work without Power.
And I remembered that night, it was sometime between 2:00am. and 3:00 am – When I became desperate and I said to God: It’s either You empower me or You take me home. It should be either of the two.
That night He answered me. And the whole Camp shook and they felt the shaking as far Ijebu-Ode, wherr Pictures began to drop from the wall.
You can Exceed Expectations in Prayer – You can go far, far beyond your Colleagues. If you Pray that kind of Prayer, you will soon Exceed in Power, you will soon exceed in every other thing – if only you can Pray.
So let me close: My children were saying again and again – When Daddy comes and a makes the Altar Call make sure you don’t delay.
How can you be Praying to a God Who says in His Words: I don’t listen to Sinners.
Hey, my hand is not shortened that I cannot save. My ears are not deaf thay I cannot hear. But sin will be a barrier between you and I. So I cannot hear!
How can you be Praying to God when you are still living like a child of the devil and you don’t want to Change?
But if you come to Him tonight, He will save your Soul, His Blood will wash away your sins; and beginning from now you too can begin to have that kind of Fellowship with God; that will cause you to Excel, that will turn you from an “Ordinary Person” to someone who will be a Mighty Vessel unto Honour in the Hands of the Most High God
If He can save the Soul of Saul of Tarsus and turn him to a Chief Apostle; He can do the same for you.
ALTAR CALL.
If you want to surrender your Life to Jesus Christ, I am not begging you tonight it is your Choice.
By now you should have sensed that this is not an “Ordinary Holy Ghost Night” – This is a “Night of EXCEEDING MANIFESTATIONS”.
If you want to surrender your Life to Jesus do so now.
One of the Preachers before me said: Tonight, there is going to be a “Call to Destiny” – I think this is what he is talking about. God is Calling you to come and surrender your Life to Him so that your Destiny can be settled.
Pastor Matthew Ashimolowo told us during this Young Adults and Youth Convention 2021 that there are Three (3) Reasons why People Clap:
- The first reason we clap is to announce declaration of War to your enemies.
- The second reason is to announce your Victory over Satan.
- The third reason is to announce the Arrival of the Lord Jesus Christ into your home, into your life and into your situation.
… Whichever of the three (3) apply to you – Clap your hands now!
Those of you who want to Genuinely surrender your Life to Jesus Christ, cry to God now: Ask Him to have Mercy on you, ask Him to save your Soul. Promise Him you will serve Him from now on.
Ask Him to be your Lord and your Saviour. Promise Him that from now on, you will obey Him and obey Him completely. Ask Him to just have Mercy on you and wipe away your sins.
The rest of us; Stretch your hands to your Brothers and your Sisters and intercede for them – That God will have Mercy on them and save their Souls. That the Blood that washed you Clean will wash them Clean also.
… Let’s go ahead and cry to the Almighty God for the Salvation of their Souls.
Thank You Jesus! Glory be to God!
In Jesus’ Mighty Name we have Prayed – Amen.
PRAYER OF SALVATION.
Father, I want to Thank You! – Thank You for Your Words, Thank You for these People who have decided to surrender their lives unto You.
Please, receive them in Jesus’ Name – Save their Souls, let Your Blood wash away their sins, write their names in the Book of Life.
And I Pray Lord God Almighty that from now on, whenever they cry unto You, You will answer them by Fire.
Thank You Almighty God!
And Father I am Praying that in a moment when the rest of us are crying to You, when they too cry to You, answer them in Jesus’ Name.
Thank you Father!
For in Jesus’ Mighty Name we have Prayed – Amen.
Now those of you who have surrendered your Life to Jesus Christ; I want to rejoice with you.
From now on by the Grace of God; I will be Praying for you.
So I will need your name, your addresses and Prayer Request so that I can continue to be Praying for you.
God Bless You – Amen.
