GENERAL ANNOUNCEMENT

But wherever they are at home, I want you to lay hands on them and I Promise you that in the Mighty Name of Jesus Christ; God Himself will touch these children and bless them Specially and our Joy over them will last forever.
Whenever the opportunity comes for us to gather again together; we will Probably ask you to bring the children so that we can rejoice with you as well as Dedicate them to the Lord.

- Now, the Theme of our Convention like you know very well is: “WONDERFUL”.
And this is the Holy Ghost Night – Very, very Special Night indeed!
And the Lord has done something “Very Special” while I was waiting on Him – He gave me Words of Prophesies even ahead of tonight (Many words).
They were so many that I have to ask for Permission to write them down.
So, I wrote them down and I will deliver all of them to you at the end of the Message.
So, focus on the Sermon because the Sermon itself will not just be a Sermon; it is going to be a “Thorough Bible Study”.
… Just get ready for the Bible Study and by the end; I will give you all the Words – The “Words of Knowledge” and the “Words of Prophecies” that God has given to me.
I got His Permission to write all of them down and will read them to you all at the end of the Show.
And then, you will have a lot of Prayer Points.
Because, let me assure you my Beloveth; there had never been a Night like this before in your Life.
My Prayer of course is that there would be a Greater Night in the Future – Amen.
… Because, God is always reserving the Best for the Last!
But as of up to today; there has never been a Night like this in your Life.
Our Bible Text will be from Isaiah 9:6.
It is a Passage that I’m sure that you hear People refer to around Christmas – Which is a very Good Idea.
Christmas is the Period made for Joy!
And that God has chosen this Bible Text for us tonight means that in the Mighty Name of Jesus Christ your Joy begins – Amen!
BIBLE TEXT: ISAIAH 9:6
For unto us a child is born, unto us a son is given: and the government shall be upon his shoulder: and his name shall be called Wonderful, Counsellor, The Mighty God, The Everlasting Father, The Prince of Peace.
What is the FIRST (1ST) name given to Him here? – It is WONDERFUL.
Now, the word ‘WONDERFUL – As I’m sure some of you have Probably heard me teach in the past; is a combination of two (2) words: “WONDER” and “FULL”.
So, WONDERFUL means FULL of WONDERS.
Now, you don’t have to be told that: Everything about God is WONDERFUL.
- His WORKS are Wonderful. – According to Psalms 107:8.
“Oh that men would Praise the Lord for his Goodness, and for his WONDERFUL WORKS to the children of men!”
- His TESTIMONIES are Wonderful.
And I’m sure you can testify to that!
When you consider all the Great Things He has done in our lives; and you considered all the Testimonies in the Past; you can only say one (1) thing – WONDERFUL!
And you know what? – Your testimony will also be WONDERFUL.
Psalms 119:129 says: Wonderful are His Testimonies.
- His KNOWLEDGE? – Oh, WONDERFUL!
Psalms 139:6 tells us: He knows everything about us.
… His Knowledge is TOO WONDERFUL.
That is why we will be gathering in millions, and all of a sudden God will just pick your case among so many.
And He will give in details what and what you have been going through and tell you the Solution.
… Wonderful KNOWLEDGE!
- His COUNSEL, Wonderful.
Isaiah 28:29 says: Wonderful are His Counsel.
But tonight, I just want to focus on: SEVEN (7) THINGS ABOUT HIM THAT ARE WONDERFUL.
I’m choosing only Seven (7) Things because Seven (7) is a PERFECT NUMBER.
- Let us talk about THE WONDERS OF HIS SIZE.
… The SIZE of the Almighty GOD!
I’m sure there is only one (1) way to describe His SIZE – And that is WONDERFUL.
I. For example, How Long are His LEGS?
Isaiah 66:1 tells us that: He is sitting in Heaven, and His legs reaches the Earth.
… THESE LEGS MUST BE WONDERFUL!
II. What about His HANDS: HOW BIG? HOW LONG?
Deuteronomy 33:27 calls His Arms EVERLASTING – That means it has no end. The Arms just keep going.
III. How BIG is He Himself put TOGETHER?
Now, you have a rough idea about how Long His Legs are, about how Wide His Arms are.
2 Chronicles 16:18 says: The Heaven of Heavens can’t contain Him.
You know Paul told us about the Third (3rd) Heaven – That means there is Heaven One (1), Heaven Two (2) and Heaven Three (3).
The Bible is now saying: the Heaven in Heavens CANNOT contain our God.
IV. Oh, I forgot to tell the SIZE OF HIS NOSE.
Because when we are talking about His size, we don’t want to consider the Size of His Head. But consider the Size of His Nose.
Exodus 15:8 says: When He BREATHE, the sea Parted.
That tells you that must be quite a NOSE!
He could just BREATHE, and the sea will just get out of the way.
V. Oh, Do I want to talk about His EARS?
The Bible tells us that,: Oh Ye that hears Prayers, unto Thee shall ALL Flesh come.
You Know What that means?
His EARS are so LARGE, He can hear the Prayers of everybody at the same time.
He is VERY BIG; my God us Very, Very BIG.
And one (1) of my daughters sang a song in Yoruba dialect (very difficult to translate into English).
But it says: GBAMGBA, GBAMGBA. KABITI KABITI ….
That is just struggling to find a word to describe how BIG our GOD is.
But do you know the GREATEST WONDERS of it all concerning His SIZE?
VI. It is that He can REDUCE HIMSELF to a small size – so that HE CAN DWELL IN YOU.
1 John 4:4 says: “Greater is He that is in you than he that is in the world.”
So He squeezes Himself into a very small size – So that He can dwell in you.
… But He does not loose His Greatness (at the same time).
What does that MEAN?
One (1) Big Good News is that: HE IS BIGGER THAN Coronavirus – Hallelujah!
“Greater is He that is in you than he that is in the world.”
That should give you JOY, That should give you SECURITY, That should give you PEACE of mind!
You have Probably heard the Testimony of one Traditional Ruler who was was reigning for a long time, and some People felt: ‘When will this man die, so that we too can become King?’
And so they decided that well, they knew what to do: According to the Tradition of the Town, the Traditional Ruler must not see a Particular Masquerade.
… The day he sees a Particular Masquerade, he will die!
So, they knew the way he normally would take when going out. And they conspired and they brought out that terrible Masquerade that he must not see.
And they were dancing and singing, while he was coming. He drove Past them and laughed because he had given his life to Jesus Christ.
He said, you are wasting your time: Greater is He that is in me than any Masquerade.
I’m assuring somebody here today or reading now on the Label of DMC, it doesn’t matter all the forces that gathered against you; Greater is He that is in you than he that is in the word.
- Let’s talk about THE WONDERS OF HIS LOVE.
In 1 John 4:8, the Bible calls Him LOVE.
… Not that He is Loving, He is LOVE Himself.
And What kind of LOVE is He?
I. The Love that is willing TO GIVE HIS ALL.
John 3:16 says: “For God so loved the world, that He gave His Only Begotten Son.”
… He gave His ONLY BEGOTTEN SON.
Even when Jesus Christ was teaching us on the issue of Love and Giving; He said, if you have two (2) coats, give out one (1) – He didn’t say give out both of them.
But the Almighty God is an ALL GIVING LOVE.
I’m Praying that you will get to close to Him that He will ask you on one (1) occasion to give ALL you have – just like Him.
… And you will be amazed how He will respond.
In Romans 8:32, He said in His Word,: “Having given you His Only Begotten Son, what else can you ask for that He wont give to you?”
What else can you ask for? – We saw how great this Love is.
According to the Bible in Romans 5:7-8, He said: “Why we were yet sinners, Christ died for us.”
I mean, He LOVED us so much that He sacrificed His Son for us, even while we were yet sinners.
And in John 15:13, Jesus Christ said: “Greater love hath no man than this, that a man lay down his life for his friends.”
GREATER Love – SACRIFICIAL Love!
And you know WHAT?
In John 13:1 He says: “He loves His own till the end:”
II. ENDURING LOVE.
I mean, there are People who are calling you: ‘My Friend’ now. Many of them are calling you friend because of what they can get from you.
If situations change, Eh! You will then discovered that there is only one (1) Friend left – And that is Jesus Christ.
I have told you the Story of one Governor (during the Military Régime). He was Governor and then his mother In-law died. And People brought cows by the trailer – for the Burial.
Two (2) weeks before his own mother died, there was another Coupe that replaced him. His own mother died; nobody brought a goat (laughter!)
You are looking for the kind of Love that will Endure? The kind of Love that will Last till the end?
… That is God’s kind of LOVE.
And you know what?
III. If you are one of the People that He Loves (and I believe so); He will SET YOU UP for a Major and UNCOMMON Breakthrough.
You know, when I was studying 2 Chronicles 1:6-15 – Where Solomon offered God a thousand (1,000) burnt offerings.
And God then visited him in the night and gave him a Blank Cheque and said: Ask for ANYTHING you want and he asked for Wisdom.
And God said: I will give you what you asked for, I will ADD Long Life, I will add this, I will add that!
I said, I still can’t understand what is going on here.
And I am sure I have shared this with some of you before.
Because I know Solomon: The father was an Adulterer, the mother was an Adulteress – The two (2) of them combined and they killed the husband of his mother.
And yet a Boy was born, and God now, is beginning to Promise him all these Wonderful things?
God said: Well, He did something nobody had done before; that is why I’m giving him things nobody has ever gotten before.
I said, there must still be something! And I discovered that it was ALL A SET UP!
Because in 2 Samuel 12:24-25, the Bible says: When Solomon was born – GOD LOVED him!
When God Loves you, He will SET YOU UP for an Uncommon Miracle; an Uncommon Breakthrough.
… And He will do it in such a way that nobody can complain.
Because He will say: Well, this fellow did something nobody else did; that is why I’m doing something for him that I’m not doing for somebody else.
I shared the Testimony with you before: Years ago; my father in the Lord called all Workers together and said: My children, we have a great Need in the Church. Urgent, Great Need – Next week, we need certain amount of money.
He said; all of you, go and close your Bank Account and bring all the money because we need this money urgently.
And we all left!
And I just told my wife: you heard what Papa said; so we went and we CLOSED our Accounts. It wasn’t much. That’s all we had! And brought the money.
The following Sunday, Papa gathered us together again and said: Well, thank you my children; the Need has been met!
And we all rejoiced.
And then he asked the question – How many of you closed your Account that I said? How many of you gave your ALL? Raise your hand!
I raised my hand, my wife raised her hand and I looked round, and no other hand was going up.
And almost immediately, the devil began to speak to me – “You can see now that you have added Madness to your Religion” (Laughter!)
And God spoke and said: No, you are not mad my son! It’s only a SET UP.
You have done something nobody else has done; so that nobody would be able to complain when I take you to where I’m taking you to.
I Pray for somebody here tonight or reading now on the Label of DMC: May the Almighty God SET YOU UP for a Great Breakthrough – Amen!
Still talking about His LOVE, just to show you how Wonderful that Love is. It is written in Romans 8:37: “Nay, in all these things we are more than Conquerors through him that loved us.”
Oh, Glory to God – Hallelujah!
IV. Because of His Love, we are MORE THAN CONQUERORS.
What exactly does that Mean?
You can go to War and lose if God is against or if God is not with you or Neutral – if He is not fighting against you, but He is not fighting for you.
You can go to War and WIN – if GOD is WITH YOU!
Because when David was going to face Goliath, all that King Saul said was: “Go my son, and the LORD BE WITH YOU.” And he WON!
You fight, God fighting WITH YOU, You WIN – You are a Conqueror!
But MORE THAN CONQUEROR means you don’t have to fight. God does the fighting for you.
You just sit down and VICTORY is yours – For doing Nothing!
I Pray for everyone of you listening to me or reading today on the Label of DMC: In the Mighty Name of Jesus Christ, from now on, you will be MORE THAN A CONQUEROR.
- And then, let us talk about THE WONDERS OF HIS MERCY
You know, if God wants to Boast,
I. He could Boast about how Rich He is.
After all He says: Silver is Mine, Gold is Mine.
II. He can Boast about how Powerful He is.
Psalms 91:1 says: “He that dwelleth in the Secret Place of the Most High shall abide under the Shadow of the Almighty.”
Jeremiah 32:27 says “Behold, I am the LORD, the God of all flesh: is there any thing too hard for me?”
When He wants to talk about HIS WEALTH, REAL WEALTH: He talks about HIS MERCY.
Ephesians 2:4-6, talks about God is RICH IN MERCY.
And Why is that MERCY WONDERFUL FOR US?
According to Lamentation 3:22-23; It is because of his Mercy that we are not consumed.”
It is because of the Mercy of the Almighty God that we are alive today.
But for the Mercy of God – that some People have been crying to God for: for Africa in particular. Eh! There should be very few of us left alive by now.
I’m Praying for everyone listening to me today or reading on the Label of DMC: May you continue to enjoy THE MERCY OF GOD – Amen!
And this Mercy of the Almighty God is in Operation in very interesting cases:
I. Look at Genesis 19:15-16; the Angels of the Lord has gone to Sodom and Gomorrah. They had stayed in the house of Lot. They had warned him – Danger is coming, get out!
The Bible says, he lingered! When they said, get out – Fire is about to fall. Get out! He lingered.
But it says, God decided to show him “EXTRA MERCY”: So the Angels grabbed him, and grabbed his wife, grabbed his children. and dragged them out of destruction.
… What a Merciful God!
II. But when you look at Mark 10:46-52, you would see this Mercy in operation again.
It is the Story of Bartimaeus – That Blind Beggar.
This man was crying for one (1) thing – Mercy!
… Lord, have Mercy on me!
The crowd told him to shut up! But the Mercy of God waited.
Can you imagine the Almighty God waiting for a beggar? It says: Jesus Stood STILL.
Can you imagine the President of a Nation going in his Convoy, and there is a beggar by the roadside who was shouting: Mr. President, Help Me!
… Would the President stop?
And yet, the Desire of ALL Nations, the King of kings, the Lord of lords. The Almighty Himself – the One Who made Heaven and Earth waited for a beggar, out if His Mercy.
III. When you read Mark 1:40-41; A Leper came to Him
… I have told you about this before – Knelt down, Worshiped Him and said: Have Mercy on me.
… MERCY!
He broke all rules because the Bible says: He had compassion on him and Touched him.
He said: I will, Be Cleansed – And he was CLEANSED.
IV. And then we read Matthew 15:21-28;
… How Wonderful this Mercy of God can be!
A woman came to Him – who was not of the household of Israel. Came to Him, knelt down before Him and said: Have Mercy on me.
Out of Mercy, He brought the future to the Present.
Because the future for those who were not Children of Israel, to receive Miracles, was yet to come – Their time was yet to come!
Their time was to come when Peter went to the house of a Gentile (Acts 10).
And if you read the story about Peter going to the house of the Gentile, he was queried when he came back:
“We heard that you want to the house of a Gentile?”
And he said, the Spirit of God bade me go! – I mean, you can read the story in Acts 11:2-18.
But the Almighty God, out of Mercy brought the future to the Present, even for a Gentile.
Oh, the Bible says in James 2:13, that MERCY REJOICES OVER JUDGMENT.
Meaning What?
If you want to really, really cry to God; if you need God’s help desperately – Don’t begin to tell Him how Good you are, what you have done: Don’t you know me, I’m Special Song Leader, I am the Original Pastor of all Pastors.
… Just ask for MERCY.
Some of you would remembered the Testimony of a young man who was a Bible Study Leader in those days – Long ago!
This Boy knew the Bible – So whenever the General Overseer wanted somebody to give a Lecture, he would ask this Boy to represent him.
And this Boy, usually they assigned him to talk to Married Couples. And he would go through the Bible, tell you about Marriage, etc.
And one of the things he used to say is that: When your wife is Pregnant, and the day of delivery comes; you bind all demons, you loose all Angels, and Command the Baby to come and the Baby will come (laughter!)
Then he got married, and the wife became Pregnant. And the day of delivery came: he bound all the Bindable, loosed all the loose able; commanded the Baby to come! – The Baby REFUSED to come: Day 1, Day 2, Day 3.
He ran to the bush behind his house: fell on his face and said: God just have MERCY on me.
Before he got back, the Baby had come!
May I hear somebody cry to God and say: GOD, have MERCY on me!
- Let us talk about THE WONDERS OF HIS GLORY.
In 1 Timothy 6:16, the Bible says: HIS GLORY IS INTENSE;
He dwells in Light that no man can approach on to.
In Acts 22:6, Apostle Paul reporting what happened to him on the way to Damascus. He said: “A Light brighter than the Moon day Sun shone on me.”
… No wonder he couldn’t see for three (3) days.
In Isaiah 6:1-3, the Bible tells us that even the Angels who stood near God, they have to cover their faces with two (2) wings; cover their feet with two (2) wings.
Any Part of their body that could have contact with that Glory – they covered; so that the Glory would not destroy them.
Oh, my father in the Lord told us, he said: Do you know the reason why Jesus Christ said: “When I finish preparing a Place for you, I would come for you?”
He said, He could have sent Angels but Angels would take you to a certain Place and say sorry, we can’t Proceed further because the GLORY OF GOD is so intense that even Angels that say they stand in the Presence of God; they are thousands of kilometres away!
So if He sends an Angel to go and get you; you could get to a certain boundary and they would say: well, you have to continue on your own.
Orly the Son of God can take you to that GLORY.
The Bible says in 1 Kings 8:10-11: When the Glory of God filled the Temple, the Priests ran out!
… They couldn’t stand in the Presence of God.
You can listen to the audio here: Wonderful – Pastor E.A Adeboye
And then of course, you have these jokers in 1 Samuel 5:2-5 – They captured the Ark of the Covenant (that housed the GLORY OF GOD).
And they took it to the room where they kept their idol (Dagon).
By the time they came the following morning, the idol was flat on its face before the Ark of God.
… Eeh! What’s wrong with you idol?
They Picked it up and set it on its feet again.
By the time they returned the following morning, the head of the idol was broken, the hands were broken, the legs were broken.
They all said: Now, we can see that POWER Passes power!
In 1 Corinthians 15:41, the Bible tells us: There is one Glory of the Sun and another Glory of the Star. Then it says, STARS differ in GLORY.
But do you know that as Glorious as Stars are, you can only see them at night?
But in Revelations 22:16, when He was describing the GLORY of my Lord, He calls Him: “THE BRIGHT AND MORNING STAR”.
GLORY so INTENSE, that you can even see it during the morning; you can see it during the day time.
Now you say: How does that APPLY TO ME?
GLORY is The OPPOSITE of Shame.
Proverbs 3:35, the Bible says: “The wise shall inherit Glory: but shame shall be the Promotion of fools.”
Wise – Glory; Fools – Shame!
The opposite of Wise is Foolish; and the opposite of Glory is Shame.
Now, Colossian 1:27 says: “Christ in you, the hope of Glory.”
Remember, I have told you: As big as God is, He is dwelling in you.
So for you, GLORY is already in you, DWELLING in you.
Meaning What?
*Anything that can cause shame; by the Glory of God alone, will be kept far from you – Amen.
I will just remind you one (1) Testimony; because, some of you have heard it before.
We were having a Program at Ebute Meta (National Headquarters Parish of RCCG) several years ago. And some very, very important Personalities (VIPs) were Present.
Suddenly, the Word of God came – If I don’t know His voice, it would have been difficult for me to even announce it.
Because God said: There was somebody there – he is a rich man. He can afford anything. And after he has finished eating from the dining table; he would not be satisfied until he goes back later on to eat from the dustbin.
They will finish the food, then throw away the remnant. And when nobody is looking; he would go back to the dustbin to eat.
I said, the Almighty God wants to set whoever that fellow is Free.
I could not even ask the fellow to come forward; because I knew that would be great shame!
So I said, I would be waiting for the fellow in my office.
Ah, I don’t need to tell you who the fellow is; I don’t need go tell you the kind of Position he is holding in Society.
But he came!
And the first (1st) thing that he said was: Without doubt, God is in this Place!
Because, how do you share that kind of Secret; who would you tell?
And I’m telling you about a man who was a Bigger Luminary; a Very Important Man in the Society.
He said, there is nobody who knows this Secret – GOD IS HERE!
And that God is here tonight and He is going to get rid of anything causing shame in your life – Amen!
- Then let us talk about THE WONDERS OF HIS NAME.
I’m sure you yourself know HOW WONDERFUL HIS NAME is.
When you talk about the WONDERS of the NAME of the Lord Jesus Christ; there are so many things involved:
I. THE NAMES ARE MANY.
Do you know there are some People in certain Parts of the world, when you begin to read their names, one thing will follow another?
But nobody has as many Names as Jesus Christ.
Like the Bible Text we read at the beginning (Isaiah 9:6) – “WONDERFUL, Counsellor, The Mighty God, The Everlasting Father and The Prince of Peace.”
You jump from there to Revelation 1:8 – Alpha, Omega, The Beginning, The Ending, The One who was, the One who is, the One to come, the Almighty.
… Many names, just to mention a few.
But do you know that: Everyone of His Name is meaningful?
For example, in John 14:6 He says: “I am the WAY, the TRUTH, and the LIFE.”
I. Oh, we could spend one (1) hour considering the fact that He says – “I AM THE WAY.”
What do YOU mean by that?
I’m the “WAY” out of Trouble, the “WAY” out of Lockdown (laughter!)
The “WAY” out of Sickness, the “WAY” out of Sorrow, the “WAY” out of Barrenness, the “WAY” out of Poverty, the “WAY” out of Failure, the “WAY” out of Defeat.
But not only is He the way out of all these Problems; He is also the “WAY INTO”: Joy, Peace, Success, Promotion into everything Beautiful – including the “WAY INTO Heaven”.
He is also the WAY where there is NO WAY.
When got to the Tomb of Lazarus, the sister said: TOO LATE!
He said, that is your own idea – I AM THE WAY where there is NO WAY!
II. And the He says I AM THE TRUTH.
I mean, I can continue to talk about Him being the WAY; but we need to go to the other Names.
THE TRUTH! You know what the Bible says in 2 Corinthians 13:8, It says: “For we can do nothing against the truth, but for the truth.”
If you know how long People have struggled to erase the Name of Jesus Christ from the world, and they have failed;
You will know that being THE TRUTH makes Him IRRESISTIBLE.
The fact that He is the TRUTH Guarantees your Freedom.
John 8:32 says: “And ye shall know the Truth, and the Truth shall make you Free.”
And He went on to say in John 8:36: “If the Son therefore shall make you Free, ye shall be Free indeed.”
… When the TRUTH sets you Free, you are Free indeed!
When I hear some ‘Mighty’ Preachers talking about the Old Testament and the New Testament; and they Present the matter as if it is only the “Grace Dispensation”.
Thank God for the “Dispensation of Grace” – By Grace we are saved. I am what I am today, by the Grace of God.
We all appreciate Grace, we all appreciate the Finished Works of the Lord Jesus Christ – Oh, how WONDERFUL!
But you know what the Bible says in John 1:14 – “And the Word was made flesh, and dwelt among us, (and we beheld his Glory, the Glory as of the Only Begotten of the Father,) full of Grace and Truth.
… Full of GRACE and TRUTH.
Do you know two plus two equals four ((2+2 = 4) in the Old Testament?
What is two plus two ((2+2) now? – It is Four (4) – Laughter!
“Be ye Holy for I Am Holy” in Old Testament, is still true in the New Testament. “Be ye Holy for I Am Holy.”
No matter what you try, the Truth will always remain the TRUTH.
Oh, Thank God He saved us by Grace from sins. But everyone who enjoys the Grace of God must remember: You are saved to be Holy, that He will always say – Go and SIN NO MORE.
III. And then He went on to say: I AM THE LIFE.
In John 11:25 He says: “I Am the Resurrection and the Life.”
Believe me honestly, there is nobody too dead that Jesus cannot raise because He is the LIFE.
That is why He can give Resurrection to your EYES. No matter how dead the Doctors say they are – I trust my God.
That is why He can give Resurrection to your LEGS, to your HANDS, to your WOMB; and even to your Business because He is the Resurrection and the LIFE.
II. Not only are HIS Names Many, EACH ONE IS POWERFUL.
You know the Bible says in Philippians 2:9-11, that: At the name of JESUS, all knees shall bow.
And in John 14:14 He says “If you ask anything in my Name, I will do it.”
You know when you find yourself under sudden attack, and there is nothing else you can do – At least, You can shout the NAME OF JESUS!
… WONDERFUL NAME!
Some of you would remember my Testimony, which was shared with you by my Driver of those days;
One day we were going to Ilorin. It was several years ago (I think 1981).
And in those days, there was this Narrow Bridge somewhere along the road; so narrow that only one (1) Vehicle at a time would pass.
So if you get there and you find another vehicle coming from the other side, you stop: because the bridge was so narrow it cannot take two (2) vehicles at the same time.
And we were going – We were already on the Bridge; I mean, the Bridge was over a very deep River. And a Trailer was coming from Ilorin.
Whether the driver didn’t see us, or his brakes failed; I never found out. But it just kept on coming.
And we has a choice: Either die by head on collision or go into the river and drown.
… The river was deep.
There was no time for Prayer. I mean, we couldn’t even think of anything:
Both my driver and I shouted JESUS!!!!
And when you are in REAL trouble, you don’t call the Name gently. (Laughter!)
And somehow, I mean somehow, we met at the middle of the Bridge and we Passed. I mean, the Trailer had taken every bit of the Bridge; and yet, we Passed.
HOW? – I don’t know!
When we got to the other side of the bridge, we were so badly shaking, my driver parked.
I didn’t ask him to park but he couldn’t continue driving, he parked.
And he was shaking like Banana leaf.
Fortunately, he didn’t look back; because I was shaking more than he was (Laughter!)
After some time, by the time he spoke, I had calmed down – And he said: Daddy, what happened?
I said: God expanded the Bridge!
And He kept on saying: WONDERFUL! till we got to Ilorin. He kept saying WONDERFUL!
I said, that is His Name!
Is anybody listening to me or reading now on the Label of DMC today who needs a Miracle URGENTLY?
Let me hear you shout Jesus – JESUS!!!!
- And then let us talk about THE WONDERS OF HIS BLOOD.
In Leviticus 17: 11, the Bible tells us that The life of the animal is in its blood.”
So the LIFE of Jesus Christ is in HIS BLOOD.
That Powerful Blood that according to 1 John 1:7: Saves, Cleanses from ALL SIN.
That Blood that has been cleansing from sins for more than two thousand (2,000) years now and that Blood is still Powerful;
… It hasn’t lost its Power!
But what are THE WONDERS OF THIS BLOOD?
I. Exodus 12:13 talks about the Night that the Angel of Death visited Egypt. And God told Moses: “When I see the blood the Angel of DEATH will Pass over you.”
That is why you don’t have to worry yourself; you don’t have to be afraid – Coronavirus is not coming to your house – Amen.
Because the Blood of Jesus Christ is already at the door!
… It guarantees your SECURITY.
II. Not only that, Hebrews 10:19 tells us that: The Blood grants you ACCESS TO THE HOLIEST.
There are many, many friends you have. How many of them do you take to your Bedroom?
There are friends that you would receive at the Reception; there are some that you will receive in your Private Sitting Room; there are some that you can even allow to come into your Study.
How many friends do you take to your Bedroom?
There is a Place called the Holy of Holies; that only the High Priest can go into once a year.
And when he goes in there, if he makes a mistake, he will fall down dead there!
So, when the High Priest is going to the Holy of Holies, they tie a rope round his leg, with some bells round his dress.
If the People outside don’t hear the twinkling of the bell, they would know he had died, and they would use the rope to drag him out.
Because only the High Priest can go in – it is called the HOLIEST.
But the Bible says by the BLOOD of Jesus Christ, we can now go into the HOLIEST.
We have ACCESS to the Bedroom of the Most High God.
… Just one (1) more Wonder about the BLOOD;
III. According to Revelation 12:10-11; That BLOOD Guarantees VICTORY OVER SATAN.
It says: They overcame by the BLOOD of the Lamb.
What a Powerful, what a Wonderful Blood that is!
Oh, I could tell you several Testimonies to demonstrate the Power of the Blood – Just one (1) would do; quite a Funny one!
Several years ago, one of our very Young Pastors went to one of the Towns in Ekiti State. And he found a room in next the house of the Chief Herbalist of the Town.
… He didn’t know who was living next door. He was just doing his own job.
And he was quite a Powerful Young Man, Prayerful, etc.
And so, a lot of People who used to come to the herbalist, were now coming to this Young Pastor.
And the herbalist saw that he was loosing customers (Laughter!)
So, he decided that the only way to solve this Problem is to get rid of this Pastor in a very neat Satanic Way.
So, one day the Pastor went to Church, with his door and windows locked. By the time he came back: right there inside his room, was a hen – brooding over some eggs.
Now the African Elders would know what that one means: You open your door that was locked, windows closed. And then you come in and the hen is there brooding over some eggs – YOU RUN OUT!
Because if you try to pick up the hen, your back will break; you try to kick the hen out, whatever you try. If you don’t run out – you are dead!
And so this Young Man came in (this sounds funny!) He saw the hen, saw the eggs.
He said Ah, Lord I Thank You. You know I have no money to buy eggs. And I have not eaten chicken for a long time and You Provided.
Lord, I Thank You!
He said hen, egg, I cover you with the BLOOD OF JESUS. You are welcome to my dining table.
So, he killed the hen, Prepared a nice meal.
The following morning, he had eggs for breakfast.
Oh, when the herbalist waited for a shout of agony or somebody weeping because they found the Pastor dead. Intact, he looked out of the window and saw the Pastor going to Church.
He surrendered his life to Jesus Christ – Suddenly he understood, POWER Passes power!
May the BLOOD speak for you today – Amen!
You know, when I shared the story in London, all the White People there were looking at me with their mouth opened.
I said, I know by now you must be saying: Oh, there must be a lot of demons in Africa.
I said, Oh Yes, a lot of demons. But there are demons here too.
I said, the only difference between the demons in Africa and the demons in your Country is that: our own demons did not go to school, they are illiterate demons and they are so easy to deal with, because they are easily recognized. You see a mad man coming (in Nigeria) – somebody walking naked coming toward you, you will quickly cross to the other side: because you know something is wrong with him!
I said, but your own demons, they wear three (3) Piece suits, they ride in Royce Rolls.
Oh, Glory be to God!
Let me begin to round up, as we consider be Wonder Number 7;
- And that is THE WONDERS OF HIS ANGER.
It doesn’t matter what anybody may tell you, my God is not Father Christmas.
Oh yes, He is Love, and His Love is WONDERFUL.
But according to Hebrews 12:6, the Bible says: “For whom the Lord loveth He chasteneth, and scourgeth every son whom He receiveth.”
So, He Loves you, you are Special to Him – Be careful; don’t toy with Him.
In Revelation 3:19; and I’m quoting from the New Testament. Hebrews is in the New Testament, Revelation is in New Testament.
Revelation 3:19 says: “As many as I love, I rebuke and chasten: be zealous therefore, and repent.”
… Don’t mess with God!
Oh, If God loves you, He will not leave you on your own. He won’t allow you to go ahead and do whatever you want.
Because it is written in Proverbs 29:15: “A child left to Himself will bring shame.”
Hebrews 12:29 made it clear: “For the LORD your God is a CONSUMING FIRE.”
Hebrews 10:31 says: “It is a very dangerous thing to fall into the Hands of the living God.”
Be careful, don’t joke with Him. Don’t toy with sin, He is a HOLY GOD.
When the Angels were crying, they were crying: Holy, Holy, Holy; Holy God the Father, Holy God the Son, Holy God the Holy Spirit.
Proverbs 29:1 says: “He, that being often reproved hardeneth his neck, shall suddenly be destroyed, and that without remedy.”
Oh yes, God loves sinners. Believe me honesty, He has no Pleasure in the death of a sinner.
Ezekiel 33:11 says: “I have no Pleasure in the death of a sinner, why should you die?”
Please, my Beloved, don’t let anybody deceive you – When they say: God can never be ANGRY. He is too full of LOVE, He is too full of MERCY. He is Kind, He is GOOD.
The Bible says in Psalm 7:11 “God is ANGRY with the wicked EVERYDAY.”
And when He decides to show His ANGER, He does it in a very WONDERFUL WAY:
I. When He was ANGRY with Sodom and Gomorrah – He Rained Down Fire from Heaven.
After warning Lot, after doing everything He could to bring Lot and his family; He WARNED them not to look back.
… Lot’s wife looked back and became a Pillar of Salt.
II. When Korah, Dathan and Abiram conspired against Moses; and God got ANGRY – they were SWALLOWED ALIVE – The Ground just opened and swallowed them.
Oh, No! Don’t let anyone deceived you, God can be ANGRY.
… Oh, you say that is in the Old Testament.
III. Read Acts 5:1-11; a man sold his Property and decided to bring the money to the Apostles. But he kept Part of it behind.
God wasn’t angry because he kept Part of it behind. It was that he LIED.
“Is this how much you sold the land for?
He said Yes – Ah! And God got ANGRY and KILLED him.
The wife came (because they Plotted the thing together); Woman, “Is this how much you sold the land for? She said Yes.
Don’t Toy with God!
Those who came to Church late that day, by the time they came, they saw the Young men carrying out first the husband, then the wife.
Oh, there is one (1) Prayer I always Pray anytime they say ask for one (1) thing.
That’s my secret I’m telling you now: I’m not asking for money, I’m not asking for clothes – I know that God is more than Sufficient.
Only one (1) Prayer I Pray: – GOD, DON’T LET ME EVER ANNOY YOU.
And He has Proved to me: The more He loves you, the more you must be careful.
I have told you the Story before; and with this I’m closing.
We has Camp Ground in Epe and we wanted to build two (2) Toilets (for Male and Female).
And we hired a Surveyor to be the Contactor.
And we told him what we wanted (60ft by 30ft). But when we got there, instead of measuring in feet, he began to measure in metres.
And God spoke to me and said, Correct Him!
And I said No Lord, He is a Surveyor. If he doesn’t know the difference between feet and metres, let him pay the Price.
… Maybe he charged me for metres anyway!
We Left the first plPlace, and arrived the second place.
Again, instead of measuring in feet, he began to measure in metres.
Again God said to me, son, Correct Him!
And I said No Lord, I don’t know the School he went.
And God kept quiet – So again he measured in metres.
There was one of his labourers, very Strong Hausa man who was a Pit Digger.
As we turned to leave, he smiled and greeted me Megida (Master); and stretched forth his hands to shake me.
And I smiled and stretched my hands to shake him.
And he grabbed my hand and began to squeeze it.
I am telling you, because of the nature of his work, his hand was like iron.
And he began to squeeze my hands as if he wanted to break it.
Ah, Lord! What’s happening?
And God spoke: I told you to correct that man.
Sorry Lord! I will.
And the man released my hands. And my hands was burning like fire.
I corrected the Surveyor, and he said, Thank You!
On my way to my car I was grumbling.
Oh, when David said: your Praise shall continually be in my mouth. At that moment, it wasn’t Praise that was in my mouth – it was murmuring;
God, the punishment is too much compared to the offence.
He spoke to me and said: Son, I have told you you are Special to Me – Be careful.
Don’t say I didn’t tell you my children; I don’t know which Convention will be the last one, the Lord may return before we have another Convention.
I don’t know when Jesus will return. But if any of you fails to make it to Heaven, it will not be because I didn’t tell you the whole Truth – God can be WONDERFULLY ANGRY.
… Watch your steps!
ALTAR CALL
Those of you who are playing games with the Most High God, the ALL-SEEING God; the God who knows all things – Watch it!
Those of you who have not surrendered to Jesus Christ, remember God is ANGRY WITH THE WICKED EVERYDAY.
And you don’t want to confront the Almighty God. Your life is in His hands and He can decide at what minutes you breathe last.
But if you surrender your life today, His Mercy is still there; His Blood is still as Powerful as before. He can still save your Soul and give you a Brand New Beginning.
If you are a Backslider, you can still return to Him and He will welcome you back.
So if you want to give your life to Jesus or you are a Backslider and want to return to the Almighty God. Please, bow your head and cry unto Him:
Lord, Please save my Soul and I Promise You I will serve You for the rest of my life.
And If you are a backslider Pray: Lord, Please restore me, I want to come into Fellowship with You again.
And Please the rest of us, let us Pray for these People: Pray for the Salvation of those asking God to save their Souls and for the Restoration of Backsliders.
PRAYER FOR SALVATION
My Father and my God, I want to Thank You for the wonders of Your Words and the People surrendering their lives today.
Please Lord, save their Souls, forgive all their sins, let that Your Powerful Blood wash away all their sins, give them a Brand New Beginning and receive them into the Family of God.

And take all the Glory for it.
Oh, Thank You Father! In Jesus’ Mighty Name we have Prayed – Amen!
