NIGHT OF DELIVERANCE3rd of July, 1998

JULY 3 1998

Tonight is a very, very special night. Basically it is going to be a

night of deliverance. Like the brother who spoke before us said,
Stones will be moved tonight! And the stones that you cannot
move yourself angels will come down and remove them for you. If
you believe that shout Alleluia! (Alleluia). But then without any
doubt somebody will get the biggest of all miracles. If you are the
one, let your Alleluia be the loudest! (Alleluia!!!) Thank You Father.
Alleluia! Glory be to God.
There is someone that is known as the Unchangeable Changer and
He is going to change certain things in your lives tonight, so lets go
before Him and worship Him because He alone can do marvelous
things.There is none holy as the Lord; Holy, holy, holy..
Let somebody shout Alleluia! (Alleluia!)
Tonight is deliverance night. Shake hands with one or two people and say: Tonight is my
night!. If you believe that shout Alleluia. God Bless you, you may be seated.
Luke 5:4-6
We discussed last time we were here that when the Almighty God asks you to launch out
into the deep, Hes saying: Step out of the ordinary into something great. Now He says to
Peter here, Let down your nets for abundance so that at least this time youll have more
than sufficient. And I believe God is here and is saying to someone Let down your nets and
bring in abundance. Now when the Almighty God said Let down your nets for a draught.
He was telling Peter that there is abundance of fish somewhere. And somewhere today there
is abundance hiding. You see, like those of us who came for the special Holy Ghost Service
for Businessmen must have discovered; you discover that everything God created, He
created in abundance. The book of Job 36:26-31; the Bible says, God is great. He makes the
raindrops tiny but He made them abundant. And then He provided abundance of meat for
everybody. The very nature of God is a nature of abundance. His name is Jehovah ElShaddai, the God who is more than enough. So wherever God is there is bound to be
abundance. And I know that God is in the house of some people here tonight. And wherever
God is abundance just has to be there.
I mean when you read 2 Sam.6:9-12 the Bible tells us that when the children of Israel were
bringing the ark of the covenant into Jerusalem and something happened on the way, David
said I'm afraid of this God, so he took the ark of the Covenant and put it in the house of one
fellow called Obed-Edom. This Obed Edom he wasn't a Jew, so what David was saying was if
God can kill you let Him kill you. So he put the Ark of the Covenant in the house of this man.
But you see wherever God is there will be abundance. Suddenly everything that OE touched
began to prosper and news got to D that Obed Edom instead of dying has become a wealthy
man. David said, Is that so. I'm coming to get my ark. If God is in your house, abundance
will be there. And I know that some of you who are here today, the stone that had been
hindering your abundance will be removed in Jesus' name, Amen. You see David said in
verse Psalm 16 verse 11. He said In the presence of God there is fullness of joy. And at His
right hand there are pleasures for ever more. And so he said in Psalm 23:6 he said, surely
goodness and mercy shall follow me all the days of my life and I will dwell (where) in the
house of the Lord for ever and ever. I want you to know that beginning from now anything

called poverty will become a stranger to your house, (Amen!) because wherever God is
abundance must be there and where there is no abundance before He arrives He will create
abundance. As soon as He arrives, abundance will follow.
You see, because in this story Peter had fished all night and he caught nothing. But that was
before Jehovah El-Shaddai came into his boat. As soon as the one who is more than enough
arrived on the scene matters changed completely and when you look at 1 Kings 17:8-16 you
will discover that the widow of Zarephath had only one meal left. Before the HG carrier
arrived on the scene. And the moment the Holy Ghost carrier arrived, the last meal became
the first. What was absolute poverty suddenly became absolute prosperity. Because when
you study that story very well you discover that this woman never had to go to the market
again. She will just wake up and find that the pot is full of food.
I don't know how God is going to do it, but I have a conviction within me, that all of you who
are genuinely born again, within the next few months you will be saying "God this is too
much" (Amen!). I don't know how He will do it. I am not even going to bother to ask Him. All I
know is that abundance is coming and it is going to begin in my house. Are you sure? When
you read John 6:1-13. There were 5000 men, not counting children and women, and they
were hungry and the only food that was available was the lunch of a small boy. Five tiny
loaves of bread and two tiny fishes but the moment it touched the hand of Jehovah ElShaddai it began to multiply. There are some people here tonight, the little you have will
begin to multiply (Amen!).
Years ago I remember a case, a brother who was heavily in debt, and he came for prayers
and the Lord said to me "Give him some money". Uh! Me, myself, I didn't have much. But I
always obey my God. So I took the little money and I gave the fellow and God said tell him
that the money you have given him will never finish. Today it hasn't finished! As a matter of
fact, the man has built a house; he has got a Mercedes Benz car. The money has not
finished. Now, I'm not going to distribute money to you this evening. But I have something
bigger than money to give to you. (Amen!) Whatever you have now will never
finish! (Amen!). It will just keep on multiplying. (Amen!).
So, wherever God is, there is abundance, If there is no abundance there before He arrives He
creates abundance. Because I have always wondered, why did Jesus Christ say there is
abundance of fish when Peter had fished all night and he caught nothing? I discovered that if
He wants, He could create abundance of fish immediately. Because all He has to do is say
"Abundance". And once He says it it is done. According toPsalm 33:8&9 He said: Let the
whole earth fear the Lord, because He spake and it is done." All He has to do is say "Let
three be light. And there'll be light. And if you look at Genesis 1:20 & 21, when He created
fish originally, that's how He did it. All He said was "Let the waters bring forth abundantly."
And the moment He said that, it was so. So, if the Almighty God, says, as I am sure He has
said tonight, that abundance will always be in your house, it shall be so. So He said to Peter,
"Peter, there is abundance, all I want you to do is launch out into the deep and bring out the
abundance." So He is not only saying Peter, there is abundance, He's saying to Peter, the
abundance is reserved for you. In other words, I believe Jesus Christ is saying, at least to me
tonight, Adeboye, there is abundance reserved for you. And you know, because His name is
the God, who is more than enough. He can give abundance to everyone of us and there will
still be left overs.
I was sharing with some people, only, last Saturday. I told them a dream I had when I was a
small boy. I'm talking of more than 40 years ago. At that time, in my village, the biggest car
was Morris Minor. This Morris Minor is a relative of Volkswagen Beetle. It was so small that
my people used to call it"Calabash". Now, in those days we used to travel in lorries, you

know, the kind of lorries that you back where you are going. And if you sit with the driver in
the front seat, then you are sitting in first class. And then there is a space between the
driver's seat and the very back; they call that one, second class. How many of you know the
kind of....alright. Those of you who are city boys you don't know what you are missing! The
seats are such that when the driver enters into a bump, the seat will fall and you will have to
shout igi ye o! so that he will wait and adjust the seat. So you could imagine how I felt when,
all of a sudden, somebody rode a Rolls Royce into town. When I saw this Rolls Royce - Is this
a car? Or is it a house on wheels? And In those days, you will usually see aeroplanes faaar
off. In fact we used to call it balloon in those days. So I thought that maybe it was one of
the balloons that decided to land. I was a small boy, and I saw this magnificent car.
Something within me said: One day I will own a Rolls Royce. Now I know that even as I was
saying it last Saturday, there are people who will say, Pastor keep on deceiving yourself. But
don't worry, my Rolls Royce will soon come and I will give you a lift when it comes.
Let me tell you one thing, which you may find a bit difficult to swallow. There are many of
you sitting down here; very soon your Rolls Royce will come!(Amen!). Why? Because there is
abundance reserved for you. Many of you didn't know it before. That's why tonight is
deliverance night. Many of you know it, but you can't lay your hands on it, that is why
tonight is deliverance night. The Lord said to Peter - there are several people here who are
fishermen. You are the one I picked out and I'm telling you now, launch out into the deep and
then let down your nets for abundance. Because the abundance there has been reserved for
you. Tell the fellow next to you: "It seems as if God is talking to me tonight."
You see God promised in Deuteronomy 33:19 He said you will suck of the abundance of the
seas. In Isaiah 60:1-5 He said the abundance of the sea will be converted unto
you. (Amen) Now very few people could say Amen to that one (Amen!!). Well, I just want to
advise those of you who do not believe this thing that when the abundance begins to come,
please don't fight us. How many of you really want abundance. Let me hear you say Amen,
loud and clear.(Amen!!!). You see when you read 2 Chronicles 17:3-5 the Bible tells us of a
certain king called Jehoshaphat who decided to serve the Lord. The Bible said God gave him
riches and honour in abundance. In other words, when this king suddenly decided that he
was going to serve God, God now caused his friends to bring him abundance of riches and
honour. Now, when you now read 2 Chronicles 20:20-25 we discover that what the friends of
Jehoshaphat did not bring, his enemies brought.
I want to say to you, categorically, tonight, that all the blessings that are being held by your
enemies will be converted unto you. So Jesus told Peter, Peter there is abundance; the
abundance is reserved for you and I know where the abundance is. I want you to know that
the Almighty God knows where your own abundance is. He knows where the abundance is
because according to Psalm 24:1 says the earth is the Lord's and the fullness thereof. And
then inIsaiah 45:3 the Almighty God promised that He would give to us the hidden riches of
secret places. There are riches that are hidden. I mean for years Nigeria, up to 1960 Nigeria
was going abroad, cap in hand, begging for money. I remember then that the Minister of
Finance was Okotie Eboh. they can never put down the budget of Nigeria until he has gone
abroad to beg people for money. And then all that time we were sitting on oil. We were
sitting on abundance and going a-begging.
There are many of us like that now. We are sitting on abundance and we don't even have the
money to pay our house rent. But the Almighty God is promising you tonight: I will show you
where your abundance is. (Amen!!!) , I know where the abundance is Peter, come along, let
me show you. in Isaiah 42:16 God said I will guide even the blind because I will make
darkness light. The Bible says in Psalm 48:14 He said, this God is our God. He will be our
guide for now and even unto the end. I think I share with those who came for the Special

Holy Ghost Service for Businessmen. If God guides you to what He wants you to do to be
rich. You become rich quickly. Because you might be doing carpentry when God plans for you
to be a tailor. Until you begin to do your tailoring, you'll be laboring in vain. And I told those
who came there was a man who was an accountant. He was in a big position. A big
accountant. But he still has to say Yes Sir every morning, And then God spoke to him and
said Go and be selling groundnut. If you don't know the voice of God, how can an accountant
go and be selling groundnut? Today, he's selling groundnut. He has three aeroplanes; the
day they were swearing in Clinton as President, it was his groundnut that they ate there,
because his groundnut is slightly different; whenever he wanted to roast it he will add a little
honey. If God asks you to be selling water, if that is where your abundance is suddenly you
can discover you can sell water and become a billionaire.
He says Peter, I know where your abundance is and I want to show you where. And I know
God is speaking to someone saying, before you leave here this morning you will suddenly
know where your abundance is. (Amen!). In Isaiah 30: 21 the Bible says you will hear a voice
behind you saying, this is the way. God is going to speak to someone today and just say this
is the way (Amen); this is the way to your abundance. My own abundance is not going to
hinder your own because God has more than sufficient we can all go to the Atlantic Ocean
and load as many tankers as we want, there will still be water there. I know many of us are
afraid of abundance, God is going to deal with that one tonight too.
I mean can you imagine how beautiful it is, if all of you here today were to prosper mightily
towards the end of the year, so that by the end of the year, each one of you has a
plane. (Amen) Some of you think that is too big for God to do. How many of you know that
God is the Almighty? How many of you believe tat He will do your own? Let me hear you
shout Alleluia! (Alleluia!!!). So where God is there is abundance. Wherever He arrives
abundance must be there. And if there was no abundance there He will create it. And all He
has to do is say Abundance. And once He has said it it is done. And this abundance is
reserved for you. You may not know where it is but God knows. And then He will show you.
But then the next thing now is that you must follow His instructions because He told Peter,
Launch into the deep. Throw in your nets. And bring in the abundance. Only three things He
told him to do: Launch into the deep. Let down your nets. Then use the nets to bring in the
abundance. You see, those who are going to move from now into this supernatural
abundance, must follow His instructions. In Isaiah 1:19, He said if you are willing and are
obedient, you will eat the good of the land and the good of the land as far as you are
concerned, is the good of Nigeria. And believe me, honestly, there is supernatural
abundance in Nigeria. I dont believe everything I read in newspapers but I understand one
paper said some people are sleeping on mountains of money. Now whether that is true or
not, I dont know. I dont want to sleep on it; if I have it I put it in the bank. All I say is that
there is abundance in this land and Im going to get my own share. Two things God said you
must satisfy for you to have the abundance: You must be willing and you must be obedient.
You must be willing because if God wants to give you abundance and you say you dont want
it, He will send it to Adeboye. If He wants to give you an aeroplane and you say ehn ehn eh
just give me a good car, thats enough. He will say thats fine I can give it to someone else. If
He says He wants to give you a Rolls Royce and you say Morris Minor is good enough. He will
give you Morris Minor. You must be willing. How many of you are really willing? willing, willing
to live in abundance from now on? How many of you are tired of poverty? How many of you
are tired that you have to wrack your brains before you can make ends meet? I want you to
say loud and clear. Abundance, welcome. (Abundance, welcome!!!). Because, believe it or
not, the days of abundance have come. (Amen!!!) Oh, yes, it has come, for me. Oh yes, the
days of abundance have come in the Mighty Name of Jesus.

You see, when they invited Jesus Christ to the wedding in Cana of Galilee, he produced 120
gallons because His name is abundance. But you see, not only must you be willing to have
abundance; whatever He says unto you, you must do it. And like He told those of us who
came for the businessmens Special Holy Ghost Service, He said one area we are all
disobedient, is in the area of soul winning. He said in John 15:16 You have not chosen me,
but I have chosen you and have ordained you that you may go forth and bring forth fruits,
and that your fruit should remain; that whatsoever you ask the Father in my name, He may
give it to you. I want to encourage all of us, that from now on, like nobodys business, that
you must win a soul a day. Everyday witness until somebody will say, all right, I will accept
Jesus. And if you are not sure how to get these people, okay, invite them to the Holy Ghost
Service, by the time God finishes with them here, they will surrender to Jesus.
You see, because Gods business is soul winning and when you are minding His business, He
will mind your own. I have to share this testimony with you. And tonight its part of the
Testimony Night because I know some of you here will have testimonies tonight. Whats
wrong with you, I said you will have testimonies tonight! (Amen!). :
I was busy winning souls for Jesus Christ while the devil was trying to fight over my Ph.D.
thesis. I have finished, I have submitted. Theyve sent it to the man who will examine; he
read it and said: go and give him his Ph.D.; and the big one said no thats not the way it is
done. After he has written, he has to sit down and answer some questions. The man said:
who is the expert? You or myself? I say I have no question for this boy, give him his Ph.D.!
They say it is not done. Well, he said, This is the way you will do it this time. If I had been a
girl, they would have said that theres something between me and the examiner. But what
was happening is that I was busy working for Jesus and Jesus was busy working for me. At
the end of the day they agreed. Oh all right, give him his Ph.D. and let him go. Is anybody
here ready for abundance? Is anybody here ready for soul winning? Let me hear you shout
alleluia.(Alleluia!!)
You see, because you must play your part. Just like the brother who preached before us.
In John 11:39-44 when Jesus arrived at the tomb of Lazarus, He saw some hefty men there.
He said, Move away the stone. You cant raise the dead, but you can roll the stone away. So
you roll away the stone, and then I will raise the dead. You play your part and then let the
Almighty God do His own. You see, because the abundance that is coming is not going to be
to marry ten wives, no, no, no, when I say you are going to have Rolls Royce, it is true; you
may not believe me now. But very soon the greatest number of Rolls Royce in the world is
going to be in Nigeria and some of you here are going to be owners. (Amen!) But we will use
it to win souls. How? Suppose we want to have a programme say, in Lekki in December,
which we are going to have and we want to advertise so we gather together all the Rolls
Royce in Lagos. Glory be to God. And you know yourself that even if one Rolls Royce is
passing everybody will look at it. Suppose there are one thousand Rolls Royce, lined up? My
own will be one of them. (Amen!) And then on each Rolls Royce now, we have put posters
and we are going very gently, we are causing a little go-slow! We dont need to say
anything! Everybody will say, the God who can provide these people with Rolls Royce, I
better pay Him a visit!!
I told the people who came for the Businessmens Holy Ghost Service one of the reasons the
devil wants you to be poor is so that you will not be able to witness. Because if you are poor
and you are preaching to the rich man, the rich man will say you are after his money. And if
you are poor and you are preaching to the poor, the poor will say if your God can supply all
my needs why has He not done your own. And then the Bible says, the poor man is hated by
his own brothers, so that if you now want to preach to your relatives, they will say, shut your
mouth. You know very well, brethren, that if you are the richest man in your family, anytime

they are holding a meeting they will say let us wait for him. If you are the poorest in the
family, even if you are the oldest, and they want to hold a meeting, and they look round and
they say, who is not yet here? And they say Baba Wilderness, heh heh, they say, let us
continue with our meeting! All those of you that they have been saying, let us continue with
our meeting, we can't wait for him; your time has come, in Jesus name! (Amen!) Just obey
His instructions. Play your own part.
And the interesting thing is, He will not ask you to do what you cannot do. He told Peter, Let
down your nets, He didn't say, Peter, jump down, and begin to swim under the ground and
look for the fish there! No! He's not going to ask a messenger to go and preach to a King.
No! He will ask a King to go and preach to another King, a lawyer to go and preach to
another lawyer, housewife to go and preach to another housewife; He's not going to ask you
to do what you cannot do. I mean when you read Matthew 17:24-27, there was a day when
Peter needed money to pay the tax collectors. He said, What I want you to do is, take your
hook, go to the river and catch a fish . And the first fish you catch, open its mouth. The
money is there. He didn't ask Peter to go and farm because He knew that Peter was a
fisherman. He will only ask you to do what you know how to do.
And like I told the brethren, at the Headquarters last Monday, there is a fish, somewhere,
with your money in its mouth. God will show you the fish. very soon, in Jesus name. (Amen!!)
There is a river, not far from where you live and there is a fish there, swimming, with your
money in its mouth! All you have to do is catch that fish. That's why soul-winning is called
'fishing for souls'. I know a lot of sisters who are waiting for husbands. Your husband is there.
From the day God created you, He created your husband! There is a bone of your bone and a
flesh of your flesh. And he's not far away. He's swimming, in a river, very near you. Hes
waiting for you to come and bring him out; come and fish him out. Your money is in his
mouth. Your house is in his mouth. Your car is in his mouth. Even your children they are
there, in his mouth.
The same too is true for brothers. When David was asked to fight Goliath. Saul put on his
armour on him. David said, I'm sorry sir, I can't use this. I'm not used to this one. I know how
to use a sling. God knows that there is something you know how to do. And if you will allow
Him, He will use what you know how to do, to bring in your abundance. And do you know
that what you need to become a multi-millionaire is already implanted in you? It wasn't the
day Jesus met Peter that He taught him how to fish. No, no, no, no. Peter was already an
accomplished fisherman. That which you are going to do to become a millionaire, God had
already taught you long ago.
Thank you Father. I want you to lift your hands up. I thought we would do this at the end, but
Daddy says He wants to do it now. The Almighty God says He wants to anoint some hands so
that they begin to make money. I just want you to close your eyes and talk to Him and
say, Lord, I am willing and I will be obedient. Anoint my hands Oh Lord. Just anoint my hands
Lord, Anoint my hands, that whatever I touch from now on will prosper. Oh, yes Lord from
now on give me that supernatural touch that from now on will change everything I touch to
supernatural abundance. Oh yes, Lord. Thank You my Father. Anoint my hands oh Lord
Anoint my hands to succeed, anoint my hands to succeed, Anoint my hands to prosper,
anoint my hands seriously oh Lord tonight and let your name be glorified as a result, thank
you my Father, blessed be your Holy Name. So shall it be in Jesus Name.

If you believe that, say 'Amen'. (Amen!)

Shout Alleluia! God bless you. You may be seated. Thank you Jesus. That's why I pity those
who don't come to the Holy Ghost Services. Little by little, God has been changing our lives.
There are some people now; anything they sell will bring in money. (Amen!). You watch.
You'll see before the end of this year, the real millionaires in this nation will be Christians.
Amen. And I will be one of them.
Now in Ephesians 3:20 the Bible says God is able to do exceedingly, abundantly, mor4e than
you can ask or think. But he said according to the power that worketh in us. In other words if
you are a child of God there is a power that is already planted in you that God can use to do
exceedingly, abundantly more than you can ask or think. What you need to succeed is
already in you. All you have to do is to use that thing to bring in your abundance. He said to
Peter, Let down your nets. The nets were already in the boats. Peter did not need to go
home to get them. He didn't need to go and buy them. They were already there. All he had
to do now is use them. You see, whenever God wants to do a miracle, He doesn't look for
something from somewhere, He uses what you have already.
One of my sons was sharing with me some time ago. He has tried all forms of trade and
failed. And then all of a sudden, one day, God spoke to him, Sell water. Water? Where will I
get the water to sell? God said, Drill a borehole at the back of your house, filter the water,
bottle it and sell. So now the money is in his back yard. He doesn't have to go to anybody
now to look for contract. All he does is go to the tank there, fetch water, and the people are
buying are there, he's collecting money from them and bringing abundance from his
backyard. In 2 Kings 4:1-7 when the widow of the prophet came to Elisha and said, " Help
me, I'm in debt. Then the man of God said, "What do you have in the house? She said just
one bottle of oil. The man of God said, that's all you need. That one bottle of oil in the hand
of the Almighty will become all you need. By the time God finished with the woman not only
had she paid all her debt, for the rest of her life herself and her children were living off the
money. There is something in your house, there's a miracle waiting somewhere in your
house. And the Almighty God will show you today in Jesus name.
When those five thousand men and several women and children were hungry and Jesus said,
How are we going to feed them? The Bible said, He was saying this just to test Philip
because He already knew what He would do. He already knew how you would become
prosperous before you left home tonight. He knew it before you were born. He knew that
tonight you would come and He would show you the way. I am sure God decided long time
ago that some people would come here tonight who would never be poor
again. (Amen!) And by the grace of God I am one of them. And at the time He was talking to
them, He knew that there were five loaves of bread and two fishes. Philip was saying, ah ah!
where will we get the money to buy for all these people? He said, I'm not talking about
buying, get me whatever is here and we will use it. I pray tonight, that before we disperse,
wherever your abundance is hidden, God will show you in Jesus' name. (Amen!)
When He said to Peter. Let down your nets. He didn't say, Let down one net. Even though as
we discovered later, Peter let down only one. Almighty God wants those of us who want
abundance to be ready for hard work. Because according to Hebrews 11:6 God is a rewarder
of those who diligently seek Him. You say God give me abundance. He says, No problem but
what I will do is, I will give you plenty of job so that from there abundance can come.
I remember years ago, when I was lecturing at the University of Lagos, and I began to pay
my tithe for the first time. I remember saying God now I'm paying my tithe you said you will
pour in blessing that there'll be not enough room to receive. How will a lecturer have more

money than he can spend? I mean, when I was a young Christian I used to ask Daddy a lot of
questions. I will simply say Daddy; I just want to ask oh! You don't need to answer. Don't be
angry, I'm your son but if I don't understand something, I think you need to explain. How?
Because I know what my salary is, and this salary, I can tell you how I will spend it sir! He
said, You want more money than you can spend? I said yes! Are you ready for hard work, I
said of course, I am. And the first thing He did was one day my Dean called me and said, we
have discovered you are a good teacher of mathematics and they desperately need
someone to coach the final year students at Lagos Anglican Girls Grammar School. They will
pay you well. Will you do it? I smiled.
Number one. You dare not disobey your Dean. Number two; you are asking a monkey
whether He wanted to eat banana. So I said, I will do it sir. I went. It was very easy. I mean,
in fact, as I was teaching mathematics they were giving me tea and cake. By the time those
people did the exam and they passed so well, the Principal of C.M.S. Grammar School heard
about it and sent for me. Please help me; help me with my own boys too. I'm a lecturer in
the University; I'm a busy man. We will pay you well. All right, All right! Shout
Alleluia! (Alleluia!) Are you ready for hard work? Because God will surprise you soon in Jesus
name.
Now, if you are willing to prosper, and you are ready to work hard, then leave the rest to
Him. You see there are certain things that you cannot think how it will happen. When I told
the Businessmen, that the kind of abundance that is coming messengers will be riding
Mercedes. (Amen!) Many of you cannot dream, how can that be. You see but when Elisha
said by this time tomorrow there will be abundance in Samaria, who could imagine that God
will use lepers to bring in abundance. You see whenever we are talking about the Almighty
God, don't try to use your brain to understand Him. Because by the time you have used all
your brain to try and understand. All you will get is headache, that's all. Because each time, I
go around at night praying, and I look at this auditorium, and I know that three years ago
this was jungle, and this is the time when we have financial problem in Nigeria. And God did
this without anybody sweating. That God can do anything brother! I say, God can do
anything! In any case, I know He will do my own.
In Matthew 19:26 Jesus Christ said, What is impossible with man, is possible with God. In
Luke 1:37, the Bible says, With God nothing shall be impossible. In Jeremiah 32:27, He said, I
am the God of all flesh. Is there anything too hard for me? Our God can bless you in a way
you cannot even dream about. He can use people you do not even think. He can bring your
miracles from any part of the world. He can use an ordinary well to turn you to a millionaire.
There's one important thing that you need to notice. The amount of abundance you get will
be determined by you. It's just as if God is saying, "Here is the ocean. Take as much water as
you want. So you can go there with a bucket, and another fellow can go there with a tanker.
And another fellow may say not one tanker but one thousand tankers. By the time you've all
taken what you want to take the ocean will not know that anybody had visited it.
By the time you read 2 Kings 4:1-7, the Bible told us this story of this widow of the son of the
prophet, the one that was in debt and creditors were about to take her sons away. She ran to
the man of God and said, I need help. The man of God said what do you have in the house.
She said, a bottle of oil. The man of God said, 'Go and borrow empty vessels. Borrow not a
few. So the woman left and borrowed vessels and began to pour the oil into the vessels, and
the vessels kept on filling. The Bible said, when there were no more empty vessels.....What
happened?........the oil stopped! Somebody once said to me, the auditorium is not yet full;
you are making an extension. I said, I know, how matter how big I make the extension, as
soon as there's the extension, there will be people to fill it. But if all you want is one small
church, that's what you'll get. You have to ask God tonight, God expand my coasts. Increase

my ability to absorb abundance. There are many of us who may be thinking, abundance,
what is abundance. Abundance to some of us will be one million naira and by the time he
sits down and he calculates what he will spend one million on, he's already satisfied. May
the Almighty God expand your coasts in Jesus Name!
When I travelled to America in 1979 and I saw Kenneth Hagin Camp Meeting with 17,000
people. EEHH. What a crowd! Because at that time, during our own convention we are less
than 1,000. So I thought, God, one day I will also have a congregation of 17,000! Four
years later I travelled to Korea and I saw a church where the Pastor used to beg people:
Those of you who come this Sunday, please don't come next Sunday so that those who
could not come in this Sunday will be able to come in! I said God. Not 17,000 that's not
what I want now. How many of you want abundance? Let me hear you shout Alleluia loud
and clear. (Alleluia!).
You know the Bible said in Job 22:23-25 the Bible says, if you will return to the Lord, if you
begin to seek the Lord the way you should seek Him. He said you can have gold as dust. In
other words gold will become so plenty in your house it will be like ordinary dust. Just in case
you don't think that is possible. All right say Amen, loud and clear. Just in case you don't
believe that that is possible. The Bible says in 1 Kings 10:21, it says, in the time of Solomon
nobody paid attention to silver. Anytime they brought silver to the palace they will say, go
and put it at the back of the house as if it were a dunghill. I tried to imagine that. And I want
to put it in a language that I am sure you can understand because your day of abundance
has come. Can you imagine a businessman, that his servants want to give him accounts in
the evening? And they said fifty naira notes that we brought in today 10 billion naira. The
twenty naira notes...and he says stop, I've told you anything from twenty naira down that's
your own, take it away, I don't want. If fifty naira is gold, twenty naira will be silver, ten naira
will be bronze, and five naira will be iron. In the time of Solomon anytime they talked about
silver, Solomon will say, I don't want to hear. You see it is when you don't have enough that
twenty naira is a big amount. When God blesses you sufficiently those who are working
under you will be riding Mercedes 600. And then, you know when we talk about Rolls Royce;
there are categories of Rolls Royce. Anyway we will talk about that one when they begin to
arrive. But you see, the Bible says it will be unto you according to your faith.
Pastor, why are you talking of abundance, all of a sudden? I didn't talk about it last year
because the time hasn't come, but now the time has come, for somebody at least. If the
time has come for you, Shout Alleluia! (Alleluia!). It depends on how big your faith is. There
might be somebody here tonight for example, who is already dreaming, God, hurry, hurry up
Lord, bring this abundance, because within the next one year, I want to build at least a
church in every town. Anybody who wants to build a church in every town knows he needs,
not just some millions, he needs billions. It will be according to your faith. You will determine
how much you want.
Then the Bible says, in 2 Corinthians 9:6.....
This is a funny one but you're going to do it all the same. You will turn to your neighbour and
you say "PUSH"! Say it loud and clear! Come on say it once again! I am sure some of you
can guess. At least women can guess. They know the meaning of push. The Lord says
there's someone here, you are about to give birth to a miracle. (Amen!) And that's why we
are asking you to PUSH. Say to your neighbour once again...(PUSH) Say loud and clear...
(PUSH!) Shout Alleluia! Oh! Lord! Give the Lord a big hand. . Come on Give the Lord a big
hand.

Now 2 Corinthians 9:6 says, if you sow sparingly, you will reap sparingly. Then if you sow
bountifully, you will; reap bountifully. God is not going to entrust His abundance into the
hands of misers. He knows that for years now the work of the gospel has been slowed down
because a lot of money had been in the hands of misers. So God is going to bring the
money, the abundance that is coming, He will put it in the hands of those who will use the
money for His glory. And I'm one of them in Jesus Name.
Now, let down your nets also means some other things. It means.. I know you have been
trying before, but this time now, try again. Because like Peter told the Lord, I have toiled all
night, I have thrown these nets all night, I caught nothing. God is saying, try again. You see,
God has a timetable for everything. If you do something before its ready, you'll be wasting
your time. If you plant when it is not the time for rain to fall, you have wasted your seed. But
thank God, He has told us that it is going to rain. (Amen!) So when He said, Let down your
nets, it means, I know you've tried before but now things are different - try again. You have
prayed before, nothing had happened, but this time, pray again. You have sowed before,
nothing had happened, sow again.
Let down your nets is also saying, pick up from where you lost hope. You see, because, the
time Jesus found Peter he was already washing his net, he had lost hope. No fish tonight. I'm
going home hungry. The Lord said eh! Eh! Lets pick it up from where you lost hope. And
those of you who have already lost hope over one thing or the other, the Almighty God is
saying to you tonight, Start again. (Amen!) Because the Bible says in Psalm 30:5, Weeping
may endure for a night, but joy cometh in the morning. Tell your neighbour, "Joy
cometh!" (joy cometh). Say it loud and clear! (Amen!)
And you know according again to the passage that the preacher who preached first talked
about to us in John 11:39, if you read it from there on, when Jesus said, "Take away the
stone," the sister said, "Lord, by now he stinketh. It's too late. It's over. Jesus said, I told you
if you believe, you will see the glory of God." In other words, "It is not over until I say it is
over." Some of you may think it's already over with you. Some of you may think you are
already too old for this abundance God says is coming. Some of you may think that you are
going to die soon. No, no, you are not going to die yet. Great days are coming now and until
God says it is over, then it is not yet over. If the world had written you off, don't mind the
world. They will change their mind very soon. Those who told Bartamaeus to shut up, they
are the same people who said "Cheer up, He's calling you. They changed their saying within
a day. Those who had already written you off in the family, that they said, this one can never
amount to anything. Well, very soon you will give them ride in your Mercedes.
But you see, there is something here that is very, very important. And that is where we are
going to do a lot of work later this evening. Which is why I want to advise if you are not
ready for serious business, don't come back for the second session. The Almighty God spoke
to Peter: "This is your opportunity Peter, Your abundance is here. This is where it is. Put down
your nets and gather in the abundance. Peter dropped only one net. Only one. The Almighty
was in his boat; there with him, physically present with him. He heard with his ear. Not that
Pastor Adeboye said. Throw all your nets, he threw only one. What is it in a man that will
make him to be satisfied with a river when God wants to give him an ocean? That is what we
will be dealing with when we come back. And it is going to be serious. If you are not ready to
fight, don't come. Because every Nebuchadnezzer in our life is going to die tonight. Every
Goliath will lose his head tonight.
But in the meantime, I think there are some people who came just to watch but they may
change their mind and become participators. I'm talking of those who are not yet born
again, who have not surrendered to the Jesus Christ who can do anything. If you are here in

this congregation and you are not yet born again, you better come now, quickly; you see,
because this is a very peculiar night, this is a night when destinies will change, this is a night
when the Almighty God will say, "Alright, from today onwards, you cross the boundaries of
poverty forever. So if you are here, and you are not yet born again, hurry up quickly, the
Almighty God is calling you now. Keep coming! Keep coming! Quickly! Hurry up! I won't call
you too long. It's up to you, if you want to remain in your sin, and in your suffering; that's up
to you. But if you want to be free tonight. And you want to come to the Almighty God who
can set you free from sin, from Satan, from poverty. Come tonight. Hurry up now quickly!
Now the rest of us. I want you to pray for these people first before you pray for yourself. You
see, because of the law of harvest; whatsoever you wish for others, that is what you will get.
As they are coming for salvation, pray that the Almighty God will save their souls, forgive
their sins, wash them in His blood, make them children of God, and make their salvation
complete. And pray that anyone who is not yet born again wherever they are, God should
push them forward, now! Let's begin to pray.
Those of you who are coming forward, you call on God. Say: Father, save my soul! Have
mercy on me! I want to become a child of God! I want to be free from sin! I want to be free
from Satan! I want to be free from every power of darkness! Please Lord, have mercy on me!
Pray as you come! Pray for the salvation of your soul! Pray from the bottom of your heart!
Call on the Almighty God for salvation and keep coming, keep coming, those of you who
want to give your life to Jesus. Come on now the Lord is calling you! Amen! Father, I just
want to thank you this evening for these people who have come forward. What a beautiful
sight! Accept our thanks in Jesus name!
Your word says no man can come unto me except My Father draws him. Thank you for
drawing these people. Glory be to your Holy Name. (Amen!) As they have come, Father, save
their souls. (Amen!) Forgive their sins. (Amen!) Wash them in your blood. (Amen!) Write their
names in the book of life.(Amen!) From today let them become true children of
God. (Amen!) And every yoke of the enemy in their lives break them tonight! (Amen!) When
you begin to release abundance into our lives, include them in Jesus name! (Amen!) And let
them remain your children forever! (Amen!) Thank You Father, for we pray, in Jesus Mighty
Name! (Amen!) Amen! Praise the Lord!
Congratulations to those of you who have come. I'm happy to see all of you. And we will love
to take down your prayer requests so we can keep on praying for you. So if you will turn to
my left, which is your right, there's a man waving a piece of wood there. He's going to take
you somewhere where some pastors are waiting for you to take down your prayer requests.
Your prayer while we wait for these people to come should be a prayer of
thanksgiving. "God, thank You because my day has come at last." Go ahead, talk to the
Almighty God, "Lord, I thank You because my day has come at last! Oh! Yes, today, I know I
will discover where my abundance is. I know my day has come at last! Oh! Yes Lord, I want
to thank You, I want to bless Your Name, because my day has come at last. My day has come
at last!
And I want you to go ahead and talk to the Lord and say:
"Father! Enlarge my coast! Enlarge my coasts! Father, enlarge my coasts! Expand my vision!
Expand my ability to handle abundance! Enlarge my coast, oh Lord! Enlarge my coasts!
Enlarge my coast oh! Lord! Expand my vision. Expand my ability to handle abundance!
Enlarge my coast, oh Lord! In Jesus' Mighty Name we have prayed! Father, we thank you,

because the day has come at last! We had waited for this day, but the day has come at last!
Glory be to your Holy Name Lord! Father, enlarge our coasts! (Amen!) Increase our
faith. (Amen!) Increase our capacity for abundance. (Amen!) Today, the kind of miracles you
have never done before in our lives, do it for us in Jesus Name! (Amen!) Thank You Father for
we pray in Jesus' Mighty Name! Amen!(Amen!) Praise the Lord! (Alleluia)
Now, there may be some of us who need ministration.
We give you adoration. We are very, very grateful oh Lord! Thank You for peace. Thank You
for progress. Thank You for a new beginning. Father, we are very, very grateful. From the
bottom of our hearts we say Thank You Lord. Thank You Lord. Thank You for a very new
beginning. Father, we are very, very, very grateful. Thank You that there is no bloodshed;
there is no problem; there is no confusion. Father we are very grateful. We appreciate You.
We thank You. We thank You so much. We are very grateful. Thank You for a new beginning.
Thank You for a New Year. Thank You, thank You so much. We are very grateful oh! Lord we
appreciate You. We will always glorify your name. Thank You for giving Nigeria another
opportunity. Thank You for giving us a new beginning. We are very grateful Lord. Thank You
Jesus. Blessed be your Holy Name Lord. Thank You Lord. In Jesus Mighty Name we have
prayed. Father, we just want to thank You. You are such a wonderful God. Thank You for
giving us a new beginning. Thank You that there's no riot; no bloodshed. Thank You for
peace. Thank You for harmony. Thank You for progress. Thank You for the New Year. Glory,
glory be to Your Holy Name! Accept our thanks in Jesus' Name. Thank You Father for we pray
in Jesus Mighty Name. Amen. (Amen!) Praise the Lord (Alleluia!) Praise Jesus! (Alleluia!)
God bless you, you may be seated.
Now I said that tonight we would do things slightly different. Ah! Because once we begin the
last part of it, only God knows how everything will end.
Father! Without You we can do nothing. But then, You are the Lord of Hosts. With You backing
us we cannot fail. You have never lost a battle and we know that tonight we will surely be
more than conquerors. Father, we come before You, humbly, as Your true children. Whatever
You need to do in our lives tonight; if you need to rebuke us; if you need to chastise us
because whomsoever the Father loves, He chastises whatever you need to do that we will
break through finally tonight, do it in Jesus Name! (Amen!). Wherever our abundance is
hidden, show it to us tonight. Glorify Your Name. Thank You Father for we have prayed in
Jesus Mighty Name. Amen (Amen!)
Peter said, Lord we have toiled all night and we have caught nothing, but according to your
word I will let down a net. Im not going to waste my time throwing all the nets because
there is no fish here tonight. If there is any I would have caught it. But in order not to
disappoint You, I will throw one net. And he threw one net. The Lord didnt quarrel with him
for throwing one. Thats all he wanted. Only one net, but that one net was overfull with fish.
If he had thrown all the nets only God knows what would have happened.
You see, when we look at this story, theres no doubt that Peter believed that there was
abundance of fish in the lake. Thats why he took several nets when he was leaving home.
And thats why he fished all night, believing that it was possible to get this abundance. But
when his opportunity came, he lost it. Why? What causes a man to be satisfied with a river
when God wants to give him an ocean?

I use that term because of an incident that happened some time ago. When our church in
Zambia started. We had one little church meeting in one mans house. There was a Pastor in
Zambia who had 5 churches in two nations and God spoke to me and said, Tell him that I
want him to team up with you and become a Pastor of the Redeemed Christian Church of
God. I said, Oh God, how can I say that? Ive just come to this country. This man is a big
man here. How can a stranger just come and say to Landlord, Landlord, come and be my
servant! I said, Daddy, You know Ive never disobeyed you. But this one, you will have to
help me. Help me by telling him that I have something to tell him. I was to leave.
Throughout midnight. The man came. He said he couldnt sleep. Because God told him that I
have something I must tell him and Im leaving tomorrow. I said, Thank You Daddy, Thank
You Daddy! You know Daddy loves me so He treats me like a small baby. So I said, Well, you
are the one who said, God told you that I have something to tell you. It is true. This is what
God asked me to tell you. He looked up and said, AHHH! No, no way! .Ahhh! How can? I
mean!!.Ahh! N o, no, no, no, no, no!!! I said, Thank you, I mean, I too said so. God said
after he left, This man has a river, and hes boasting I have a river that flows into two
countries And I wanted to give him an ocean. You know, within one year our churches in
Zambia multiplied so rapidly that we had more than a hundred. And then we moved on to
Zaire, Malawi, Tanzania, Kenya, South Africa, Swaziland and so on and so forth. And God
keeps on reminding me that this man would have been the Overseer of all these churches.
But today he is still doing well with his five churches. What makes a man, what is it that
happens to a human being that will make him satisfied with a river when God wants to give
him an ocean. Tell your neighbour. I want an ocean! Say it loud and clear.

Now, I want to appeal to all of us tonight to please, just be patient with me and listen very
carefully to everything Im about to tell you because I dont say some of these things Im
saying lightly. Some of the prophecies you have heard earlier today may sound impossible to
you. But as we were driving to my office after the first session one of my sons reminded me
that on 31 December 1991 said very soon therell be at least 70 Mercedes Benz in the
mission. People laughed because at that time there were only two. Today, it will be good if
you can just go out and count. Im sure youll be able to count one thousand. So those of you
who think that No, this idea of Rolls Royce, that one is sweet talk. Please dont throw away
your opportunity. How many of you are sure that you will get your own? Let me hear you
shout Alleluia. (Alleluia!). I know people today, whose first car in this whole world is a
Mercedes Benz car. They never had any car before; God just took them straight from
footwagon to Mercedes. The same God can take you straight from footwagon to Rolls Royce.
That is if that is what you want. But you can tell God, No, just get me a Peugeot 306. Thats
good enough. But I want the best. I want an ocean.
There are three possible situations that could cause a man not to get into the abundance
that God has for him. We will take them one by one and we will pray as soon as we finish
with one. We are going to pray. I told you that if you dont mean business dont come back
for the second session. The first one is if God Himself is angry with the fellow. Because if God
pronounces a curse on someone, it is difficult to handle the matter. Ive told you before, if
your father curses you, you can run to the Pastor and he can cancel the curse. If your Pastor
curses you, you can run to the General Overseer that ordained him and he can cancel the
curse. If the General Overseer curses you, only God can cancel the curse. Now, if God curses
you, its a case of God has given judgement and you say you are appealing. We will now see
who will be the judge who will settle the matter. Because in 1 Samuel 2:27-36 God cursed
the house of Eli and He said, you used to be an employer of labour, your children will begin
to beg to apply. I pray that if theres any one of us here tonight who is groaning under the
curse of the Almighty God, may God have mercy in Jesus Name.

In Malachi 3:8-12 where God talks about those who robbed Him of His tithes. You know some
of us take the issue of tithes very lightly. And we think that, Dont mind Pastors, they want
to take ten percent of my money. God said that those who rob Him of His tithes are cursed.
And He said if you repent, and you now begin to bring all the tithes to His house, He said, "I
will rebuke devourers for your sake. And then one day I asked, Who are the devourers and
where do they come from? And God pointed me to Joel 2:23-27 He calls the devourers My
army. He said Hes the one who sent cankerworms, palmerworms, the army that He sent
against those who had annoyed Him. Brethren Ive told you before. If the whole world is
against me and God is on my side, I will just be smiling because I know the One behind me is
the Lord of Hosts and He can finish the whole world just by waving His hands. But if God
says He is against somebody, who is going to deliver you? Ive said it before that if there are
demons standing in your way and you command them to get out of the way in Jesus
Name, they know that at the name of Jesus every knee must bow.
I was sharing with one of my children. He said, When you go around at night with your
dogs, do they stop as they go? I said, Yes. They stop when they see a snake. Thats how I
know theres a snake near. And they stop when they see an angel. Whether you believe it or
not, there are many angels on these camp grounds. Thats why there are no walls. We have
our own divine bodyguards. So he said, But what if they see demons? How can I be going
with the Lord of Hosts and a demon will stand? Before we leave here tonight every demon
standing in you way, we will deal with them. But if an angel is the one God sent to go and
block your way, and you tell the angel. Get out of the way! He said, In whose name? You
said, In the name of Jesus. He says, Hes the one who asked me to stand here. Ask Him,
ask Him. Hes the One who asked me to block your way.
Brethren because your abundance is reserved and I dont want any of you to miss this
opportunity; this wonderful opportunity. Because what God told Peter was let down your
nets for a draught, a draught, just one, not many. Your opportunity had come. You are not
here by accident tonight. I dont want you to miss this opportunity. So you need to repent.
Every one of us who had been robbing God, we need to do what? Repent. The beautiful thing
isWhen I asked the Almighty, Supposed you had cursed somebody? Is there a way out?
Because I know somebody You have cursed no Pastor can pray for the fellow. And then He
referred me to Isaiah 55. I will read verses 6 and 7 to you. Seek ye the LORD while He may
be found. Call ye upon Him while He is here. Let the wicked forsake his way and the
unrighteous man his thoughts, and let him return unto the LORD and He will have mercy on
him, and to our God for He will abundantly pardon. Thank You Lord. But those of us who
know that one way or another we have robbed Him, we are going to stand on our feet and
we are going to cry to God: Daddy, have mercy! I promise you I will repent! Just forgive me
this once! Shall we call on the Almighty God now, Father. Have mercy! Have mercy on me!
I cant fight You! Where is the strength with which I will fight You? Have mercy on me, Lord!
Please, forgive me! Forgive me oh Lord! Pardon me abundantly! I call on you for mercy oh
Lord! Have mercy on me! Call on Him now.
Now in the case of Eli that we mentioned, the curse came down on the generation. So we
are going to call on the Lord. If there is anything my father or my grandfather had done that
could sentence my generation to poverty, Father forgive tonight! Lets call on the
Almighty! If theres anything that my generations gone had done that could cause You Lord
to pronounce a curse on me and my children. Please forgive! Oh yes Lord, Please forgive
tonight! In Jesus Mighty Name we have prayed.
Father I just want to thank You because I know You are a merciful God and I know You are
clearing the ground, removing obstacles from our ways. Accept our thanks in Jesus Name.
Father, many of us have offended You. In fact, we deserve curses, but then You are a very

merciful God. As many of us as have repented tonight. Who said, Lord, we will be faithful;
we will be faithful in the payment of our tithes, in the giving of offerings Forgive in Jesus
Name. All the armies of devourers that you have sent against us, withdraw them tonight in
Jesus Name. Every generational curse that had been coming down from our father,
forefathers, that may cause some of us always to almost succeed and then fail, forgive
tonight in Jesus Name! Break the curses Yourself, in Jesus Name! Beginning from tonight,
let Your Face continue to shine upon us! Thank You my Father for we pray in Jesus Mighty
Name. Amen! Praise the Lord. (Alleluia)
All right, lets be seated. That takes care of the divine one. The next cause of people failing
to enter into the fullness of what God has for them is they themselves because many of us
after several failures our faith is no longer as strong as when we started. I mean, for
example Peter, you can hardly blame him. He has thrown the net several times and what
came out of it ? Nothing. Some of us here have tried seven businesses and they had all
failed. Some of us had bought land before thinking that we were going to build a house. At
the end of the day we sold the land. So after prayer upon prayer and nothing happened
suddenly faith begins to grow dim. Thats what happened to Peter. Throw your nets! Ive
been throwing these nets all night. You see, the problem was, Peter did not know about the
timetable of God. And Im happy that you know better than Peter because you know that
your day has come. Peter had nobodys history to learn from. But we can learn from him
now.
So those of us who might be shaken in our faith may I encourage you to remember Romans
14:23. It says. Whatever is not of faith is sin. And then remember Matthew 9:29 says,
According to your faith be it unto you. And then Mark 9:23 says, All things are possible to
him that believeth. And thenRomans 1:17 says, The just shall live by faith. And all that
faith means is simply that I know with God all things are possible. With me, there might be
problems. If Im looking up to my father, there might be problems. If Im relying on one
Minister or Commissioner, there might be problems. But with God all things are possible. And
believe me honestly; If only you could understand how big your God is you will never doubt
Him again.
By His grace, I have walked with Him in faith for some time. Several times when I hear Him
say something if I had not known that this God can do anything, it will be difficult for me to
open my mouth and say, This is what He said..... The little science I know tells me that
when they have cut off the tubes of a woman she cannot have babies. But we heard a
testimony tonight. When we talk about the Almighty God giving you abundance, all you
need to do is believe. And if the Devil is trying to tell you, No, it is not possible, tell the Devil
to shut up. Tell the Devil, You will be around when I give my testimony.
Ive given this testimony among the Pastors. You know, I dont give many of my testimonies
because, like I told somebody, If I tell all God is doing for me people will say, God is partial.
And if anybody is willing to walk with Him by faith He will show you that He can be partial to
you too. Several years ago, when we were still in the old auditorium, when one naira was
still almost equal to one pound. I said to God, in fact I announced from the altar, I want God
to give me three men that will give one million naira to the work of God. Three men, oh God!
And as I left the place God said, How about you being number one? I laughed, because I
didnt even have one million kobo! Where am I going to get it? Am I going to steal? Because
I cant do business. I am a full-time Pastor. Lord, give me three men. There are businessmen
around. And He said, Son, If I give you the one million, will you give it back to me? Oh,
yes! You know poor people are always generous! God give me money, I will show you! And
all of a sudden, people began to give me gifts, and they will say, For your personal use.

Theyve never done that before. They always say, This is for auditorium, This is for that.
This is.. Suddenly they began to come and they say For your personal use. Suddenly the
money began to come and I realized. I know where God is going. Before long there was
one million naira. Glory be to God. And then of course temptation came. How can I give..Ive
never seen one million naira before, how can I give it away? And I began to think of various
ways I can cheat God a little. I mean if I buy a new car from it, I will use if for your work.
Thank God for the Holy Spirit. He gave it to me and I gave it back to Him. Glory be to God
forever more.
The point Im trying to make is this. If God says Hes going to lead us into abundance, how
He will do it is not your business. Ive told you again and again, dont try to use your brain to
understand my God. If you are looking at yourself now and you see yourself as a messenger,
and you say, God, if you can give me second hand Volkswagen, that will be my Rolls
Royce You will be limiting the Holy One of Israel. Im praying tonight that the Almighty
God will increase your faith. When somebody had tried several times, and failed several
times, suddenly he begins to replace some of his statements. You will begin to change I
shall succeed to Maybe I will succeed. I want you to get rid of maybe. Tell the fellow
next to you: I am going to make it. (I am going to make it!) Say it loud and clear! Im
going to make it financially. I am going to make it physically. I am going to make it spiritually.
I am going to be the best! Say it loud and clear! I am going to be the best! Because the Word
of God says in James 1:5&6; it said, I f you are going to get anything from God, dont waver.
Because if you waver, you wont get anything from Him. So make up your mind tonight. It
doesnt matter what the situation may be now. I am going to make it! And it will be so in
Jesus Name!
Then when we find some people who had failed several times then they despair. They
surrender to fate. Oh! By now he stinketh! Its too late! Mmmh. I mean, Grandfather was
poor; father was poor soYou know when God cursed the children of Eli. God could have
changed His mind. But what was it that Eli said? Its God. Let Him do whatever He likes. If
He wants me to die in poverty, mmh mmmh; its up to Him. If He wants me to be a
messenger all the days of my life. Mmh Mmmh! Hes God. Whereas when we find
Jacob.tomorrow He was going to die. Esau was coming to meet him, to put an end to any
hope of prosperity in his life. The Bible says he came face to face with God and he grabbed
hold of God and he said, I will not let You go until You bless me. The Bible says that as they
struggled, this man was not going to surrender; God even dislocated one of his legs; he said,
dislocate both of them; I am saying, I will not let You go until You bless me. And when you
read about Hezekaiah in Isaiah 38:1-5 it is God who said, Your majesty, you are dead. Put
your house in order because no way you can live, you are dead! And the Bible says,
Forever, oh Lord, thy word is settled. God said, Any word that has gone out of my mouth
will not return void!. Hezekaiah said, God, this time You will change Your mind. That Word
that You say is settled. As they say, it is the white man who made pencil; he also made
eraser. You said it that Im going to die; say it again that I will live!
Tonight our second prayer is that you are going to call on the Almighty God. I dont care
what was the original plan concerning my life, but tonight God, Im holding on to You and Im
not going to let You go until You pronounce a blessing on me because I must be the best. I
am going to reach the top. Shall we stand and call on the Almighty God.
Father, tonight. I dont know of others; I dont know of other people; but as for me, no! Im
not going to let you go until You have blessed me! You have to change my Destiny for the
better! Tonight Lord.

Now, I want You to pray and say, Lord, wherever my fish is, with my prosperity in its mouth,
show me tonight! Go ahead! Talk to the Almighty God!
In Jesus Mighty Name we have prayed. (Amen!)
I want you to pray immediately: Father, You are the Lord of Hosts. You are the Controller of
the angels. Send Your angels to the four corners of the world. Wherever my abundance is, let
them bring them quickly! Come on, pray! Father, You are the Controller of the angels! Send
them to the four corners of the world
One more prayer quickly on this. Many of us have lost some golden opportunities, but our
God is so mighty that He can reverse the irreversible. So lets call on Him and say, Every
opportunity that we have lost. Father, bring them back, bring them back, bring them
back
In Jesus Mighty Name we have prayed! (Amen!)
Father, I call on you this morning on behalf of all Your children. Many of us have annoyed You
because our faith was weak. We have doubted Your Almightiness. Some of us have resigned
ourselves to fate. We have forgotten that You our God, You never change. Please forgive us
in Jesus Name. Now tonight Father, we all cling unto You, and we are saying, Daddy! We
will not let go unless You bless us! Father! Pronounce Your blessing on us in Jesus Name!
Pronounce abundance into our lives in Jesus Name! Pronounce life into our lives today in
Jesus Name! Pronounce success into our lives tonight in Jesus Name! Pronounce greatness
into our lives in Jesus Name! Father! For every man there is a fish with golden coin in its
mouth. Father! Wherever our fishes may be, Bring them out! In Jesus Name! Bring them
out! In Jesus Name! Father! You are the Lord of Hosts. The angels never dare disobey You.
Tonight, send them to the four corners of the world. Wherever our abundance may be
hidden, let them bring them in, In Jesus Name! By special delivery. Let them bring them in
Jesus Name! Every opportunity that we have lost, bring them back in Jesus Name! Renew
our youths! And glorify Your Name! Thank You Daddy! Blessed be Your Name! In Jesus
Mighty Name we have prayed. Amen! Praise the Lord! Let somebody say, I receive that. (I
receive that!). Amen! God bless you! Be seated!

That brings us to the third and last bit. And that is when Satan decides to block the way. And
there are various ways he could do that. One of the ways he does it is so funny. Is by
creating in you the fear of men. If they suddenly see me riding a Rolls Royce, what will
people say? You seem to have forgotten that people will always say something! If you are
dying in poverty. They will look at you and say, He has gone since last year what has he
brought! If you are begging before you can eat, they are the people who will say, Where is
your God? So if they are going to say something why dont they say something good that,
we dont know how hes making it! Or they may begin to say; I mean, could put fear in you
and say, If I suddenly begin to live in VI nowwhat about robbers? As if there are no
robbers in Mushin! As if there are no robbers in Ajegunle!
The Bible says in Proverbs 29:25, it said the fear of man brings about a snare. And then I
saw a passage in the Bible that I thought I would read to you Isaiah 51:12 God said, I, even
I, am he that comforteth you. Who art thou that thou shouldest be afraid of a man that shall
die? And of the Son of man that shall be made as grass? When God decides to bless you,

why should you be afraid of man? Let me tell you, if you are riding a secondhand
Volkswagen, if robbers will rob you, they will rob you. If you are riding a Rolls Royce if they
wont touch you, they wont touch you. The Bible says that it is only those that God keeps
that are safe from evil. And if God is the one who brings abundance into you, He will not
bring it in so that somebody will come and steal it. I am telling you God knows how to
protect His own. Provided your ways are clean before Him nobody can touch you unless He
allows.
I mean, when you study the story of Job very well, even the Devil has to get permission from
God before he could touch Job. He said, God, you have made a hedge around him. I want to
touch him but everywhere I go there is a hedge round about him. Give a gap, let me touch
him, and then you will see! Now I know some of us will say, Well God gave him a gap! No,
God gave Satan a gap to touch Job. Maybe He will do the same thing to me! No! If you read
your Bible very well, you will see that Job was a servant of God. If you are born again, You
are not a servant you are a son. There is a lot of difference.
I remember when I used to live in Mushin, and robbers were terrorizing us and we formed
what was called a vigilante. Who were the people in the vigilante? The servants, houseboys
and so on and so forth. Where were the children? Inner bedroom! David said in the time of
trouble He will hide me in His pavilion. Dont let anybody tell you that what happened to Job
can happen to youit will never happen to a child of God. So if the Devil brings fear into
your heart, tell him to carry his load and go. The Word of God is clear. He said, I will keep
your going out and your coming in. For how long? From now and forever more! Let me hear
you say Amen to that! (Amen!)
But then the Devil may use another technique. He may lay a siege on you. You know the
story. We have treated that one here before. You know the story in 2 Kings 6: 24-29. The
King of Syria came and lay a siege on Samaria. So much that the people of Samaria could
not go out to do their normal duties. And they became so poor that they were eating their
children. And yet just outside the gate there was abundance. There may be some of us that
the enemy had laid siege on our finances. But tonight in the name of the One who made
Heaven and earth, the siege will be over. (Amen!) All you have to do is be like one of those
poor lepers that you read in 2 Kings 7:3-16. They looked at themselves, they said, One,
were poor, sick, waiting for death. Inside the city no food. In normal times things were
difficult. Now, what are we going to do? These four lepers took a decision. That decision you
must take it early this morning. They just said. We refuse to die. We refuse to die where we
are. So thy got up. They got up and they said: Enemy, you who came to lay siege we are
coming to pay you a visit! Somebody is going to say to the Devil tonight, Devil, you are
receiving a visitor tonight! And as they got up and they began to go to the camp of the
enemy, the Almighty caused the enemy to hear a noise. Somebodys going to shout Alleluia
tonight(Alleluiaaaaa!!!!) Well, thats a good one. But the one Im talking about, the enemies
at home will hear. (ALLELOOOOOOYAAAAAAH!!!) Thank you very much.
See, I so thank God for the brother who spoke first this evening. Th Holy Spirit spoke through
him. I was almost crying for joy where I was sitting there. Because he brought one point out,
which is so crucial to everything, we are going to do next. There are stones that I can move
myself. I can repent. I can promise God that from now on I will be faithful in the paying of my
tithe. I can call on God to forgive me, but I am not strong enough to fight the Devil alone.
There is a stone I cant roll away on my own. Thank God that angels can come down and roll
them for me. Four lepers cannot defeat the Syrian army. What weapons are they going to
use? They dont even have hands to hold the weapons, but God caused the enemy to hear a
noise. All those enemies that have been laying siege against your prosperity, that all these
years you have been struggling and struggling and struggling and theres nothing to show

for it and you Have been praying and calling on the Name of God. Youve been coming to
Holy Ghost Services and theres nothing to show for it. Tonight, the One who sent me is
going to fight your battles for you! (Amen!)
So you are going to get on your feet now. This prayer, this time you are not going to pray
gently at all! This one is not a case of gentleman or big man. Your first prayer will go like
this: Nebuchadnezzar said to Shedrach, Meshach and Abednego. He said, Who is that God
who will deliver you out of my hand? The Devil may be saying tonight, Who is your God
who will deliver you out of poverty? But it wasnt long before Nebucadnezzar became an
animal. You are going to pray now: Anyone that had been blocking the way to my
prosperity, Lord, let them become animals! Come on pray; Let them become animals.
Like I said earlier on, David was anointed to be king. The shepherd boy was to live in
supernatural abundance, Goliath said, no way. Before you become king I will make the
whole nation of Israel slaves. But that very day Goliath lost his head. You are going to pray
now, Every Goliath that says I will not reach the throne; that says I will not reach my goal,
Father let them lose their heads! Come on pray!..
There are some of us, the enemy has bound our hands so that whenever we want to catch
our blessing somehow we drop it. Some of us the enemy has bound our feet so we cannot
make as much progress as we want to make. We cant climb as fast as we want to climb.
Some of us the enemy has bound our eyes so we cannot see the opportunities.the fire of
the Holy Ghost, fire of the Holy Ghost! Send it down Oh! Lord and consume every yoke in my
life. Go ahead! Call on the Almighty God!!! Send down the fire of the Holy Ghost and
consume everything that is binding my hands, my legs, my eyes, binding my brain! Send
down the fire Oh! Lord! The fire of the Holy Ghost! Send down the fire! My Lord and My
Saviour send down the fire! The fire of the Holy Ghost to consume every yoke that is binding
my hands, or binding my legs, or binding my eyes, or binding my ears, or binding my brain!
Send down the fire Oh! Lord! The fire of the Holy Ghost! The Consuming Fire! Thank You my
Father! Glory be to Your Name Lord! Thank You Jesus! Glory be to God. In Jesus Mighty Name
we have prayed! (Amen!)

One more prayer. I want you to pray this with all your heart because we are just about to
step into it now. We say, Father, every stone that I cant roll myself, send Your angels, let
them roll them away now! Call on the Almighty God! Every stone that I cant roll away
myself, Father! Send Your angels now! Let them roll away the stone! Let them roll away the
stone! Let them roll away the stone! ..Thank You Jesus! roll away the stone!Let
the angels come from heaven and roll away the stoneThank You Father. roll away the
stone! By Your mighty power Oh! Lord! Every stone that is blocking my joy, blocking my
prosperity, blocking the abundance you have reserved for me, blocking the way, My Father
and My God, to higher ministry, roll away the stone Yourself! Glorify Your Holy Name Lord!
Thank You Jesus! Glory be to God! In Jesus Mighty Name we have prayed.
I heard the Lord saying to me some nights ago that I would have to perform an operation
here tonight. Glory be to God! So may I request that you all kneel please and raise your
hand to the Almighty. Daddy told me that many of you have been bound for a long time. But
He asked me tonight to represent Him and loose you. (Amen!!!) I want your Amen to be loud
and clear. (Ameeen!!)
In the Name of Jesus! In the Mighty Name of Jesus.! Father, I thank You because the day has
come at last. I thank You because Your Blood has never lost its power. Accept our thanks in

Jesus Name. I plead the blood of the Lamb over all of us here tonight. The blood that
conquered Satan let it cover us all in Jesus Name. Satan, I say, in the Name of the One who
made you, in the Name of Jesus, the Word from the beginning, Satan, I say tonight the Blood
is against you in Jesus Name! (Amen!) The Blood of the Lamb is against you in Jesus
Name! (Amen!) I command every host of hell every demonic influence that has been laying
siege on the prosperity of these children of God, all of you be bound in Jesus Name (Amen!).
I hereby decree in the Name that is above every other Name, that Name that is recognized
in Heaven and earth and underneath the earth, that wondrous Name of Jesus, I hereby
command every one of you that had been bound, be loosed in Jesus Name! Oh! Yes!
Lord.Be loosed in Jesus Name! Be loosed now in Jesus Name! I hereby decree that any leg
that is stamping upon you, any leg that the enemy has placed on you, any leg that the
enemy has placed on your prosperity, I decree that such legs be cut off in Jesus Name! Oh!
Yes!..Yes, Lord!!! I decree tonight that anyone who says you will not reach your goal will
become a stepping stone to your glory, in Jesus Name! Oh, yes Lord! Thank You My Father!
Oh! Thank You Lord! Every child of God here tonight, from poverty you are loosed!
(Amen!) from sickness, you are loosed!! (Amen!) from sorrow you are loosed! (Amen!) from
doubt, you are loosed (Amen!)from unbelief, you are loosed!(Amen!) from every curse you
are loosed! (Amen!) you are loosed! (Amen!) you are loosed! (Amen!) you are

asked me to tell all of you, He said, I have an investment in You now and I will protect my
investment! Let me hear you shout Alleluia!!! (Alleluia!!!)
Well I think our thanksgiving tonight ought to be a special one. Because, believe it or not,
this is the greatest day of your life so far. So lets do our thanksgiving and show Him that we
appreciate what He has done. Oh, thank You my Father. Glory be to God! We will dance. I
say, we will dance. That will be part of the thanksgiving offering to the Lord. Show Him that
you appreciate what He has done and show the Devil that he has lost the battle. Glory be to
God!!!!

Praise the Lord! (Alleluia!) Praise Jesus! (Alleluia!)
You are all welcome to miracles in Jesus Name.
1 Peter 2:24 It said, By his stripes ye were healed. Or He may even just speak and bring
healings. In Psalm 107:20 He sent his word and He healed them.
Years ago I used to lay hands on every person who needs prayers and then all those who
needed operation God would slay them in the Spirit and He would perform the operation. But
then I found that some people began to copy what God was doing and they were doing it not
exactly the way it should be done because some people, when they lay hands on you and
you dont fall they begin to push you. And when they are about to break your neck, you say,
Oh, well, if you want me to fall, I think I better go down! I mean, you may not believe, I
have seen an evangelist giving them a shove. I mean well, if you dont fall gently, you will
fall by force! Now, you dont have to fall in order to be healed! If you dont need an
operation theres no reason why God will put you to sleep!
So, I prayed to God. I said, Daddy! Instead of me having to lay hands on them why dont
You just let me speak and send Your Word and heal them? When You do it that way Lord,
nobody will say that I am the one who did the healing. You will get all the glory and I will be
blessed and I thank God that since that time He's been doing it. and He's going to do it here
again tonight!
Not only can He heal you, He can even fill you with so much health that you yourself,
anybody you stumble into will receive healing. Gods does not want you to be sick, He wants
you to live in Divine health. He said in His Word, "If you will hearken diligently to the voice of
the Lord My God, to observe and to do all these things that I command you this day," He
said, I will bring none of those diseases that I have put on the Egyptians upon you". He said,
"Because I am the Lord that healeth thee." He says, I will be your personal doctor.
I give God the glory, it's almost 24 years now the doctors have not paid me a visit and I've
not visited them. Because I have a doctor who is the greatest of all doctors. You too can
become absolutely healthy, in fact, I am sure that there is someone here tonight who will
never be sick again. (Amen!) If you are the one say Amen! loud and clear! (Amen!)

The question is, if you don't fall sick then how are you going to die? I've told you how I will
go if the Lord tarries. It will be Sunday. I will go to church. Have a wonderful service. Come
back here. Eat pounded yam and go! That's how I want to go. I don't know how you want to
go. I want to go healthy! I want to go strong! I want to go alive! Is there anybody who wants
to go that way too? (Yes!) Let me hear you say Alleluia! (Alleluia!)
The Bible says, when Moses was 120 years old, his eyes were bright and his natural forces
were not abated; which means, if he wanted, at the age of 120 he could still have had
children because his natural forces were still there! He was a vigorous man at 120! Don't let
the Devil deceive you, that because you are already over 60, that's why this pain and ache is
coming. Oh! It is old age! My God says, "I shall renew your youth like the eagle. In other
words each time you say Happy New Year you'll be getting younger. In any case when you
say you are old - how old are you? The Bible says that before the mountains were brought
forth God is God. 1000 years in His eyes are just like one hour; which means that the oldest
man around us is only a few minutes old. And the Almighty God! made you in His image; the
Ancient of Days made you in His image; the One who is ever young; the One whose Name is
I Am made you in His image. I don't know about you but as I grow older, I will grow stronger!
Say it loud and clear! (Amen!)
He can not only heal you, He can heal others through you. He said, "these signs shall follow
them that believe, In my name they will lay hands on the sick and they shall recover. And
they will recover...And they will recover!
Not only can He make the barren fruitful and heal the sick, He can pay your debt. In fact, I
know that there is someone here tonight who will never borrow again.
I mean, you know the story in 2 Kings 4:1-7. It tells the story of a woman, a widow, who was
so heavily in debt that the creditors came and said, the only two things you have that is
precious, the 2 sons that you have, we will sell them to pay. And she ran to the man of God
and the man of God said what do you have in the house? She said only a bottle of oil but, I
have neighbours who have plenty of empty vessels. The man of God said go and gather all
the empty vessels together and began to pour oil. The God we are serving, kept on
multiplying the oil. This woman sold the oil; paid her debts and for the rest of her life she
never borrowed again. Somebody is here tonight. God will pay your debts and you will never
borrow again (Amen!)
Again and again people have asked me, "Why don't you borrow to do some of the works you
are doing? I had borrowed before. Debt is not a good thing. It is like tying a rope round your
neck. Each time you see your creditor, your breathing is reduced. Everyone of you here
tonight, you will never borrow again (Amen!)
But not only can God pay your debt, He can make you very rich. I mean, the Bible says,
concerning Abraham, God had made Abraham very great. He had a lot of liver, gold,
menservants, maidservants, asses, camels. I am telling you brethren, I told you yesterday. I
am repeating it today - some of you came to the Convention this year in public transport.
Next year you will come in your own car. and not only that, you will have an additional bus
that will bring people in! (Amen!)

If Abraham is our Father, the father of faith and he was that rich, then there is nothing wrong
with those of us who say we are of the seed of Abraham, if we say also we want to be rich.
I've said it before, I know some of you are afraid of prosperity, but yesterday God has dealt
with fear. I'm sure some f you, if God says He wants to buy you a car, you will say, "God
make sure it is second hand, a Volkswagen 2nd hand. For some of us who are here tonight
from now on it will be brand new cars. I mean, if unbelievers, those who are not related to
our Father at all, if they are sitting down in those big cars and we the children of the AllSufficient One have to stand by the roadside, waving down public transport - no wonder
many people don't want to follow our Jesus. Things will change from tonight!
Oh! I told those of you who came for the special Holy Ghost Service for Businessmen, I told
you my own Rolls Royce will soon come. Some of you received your own that day too. And I
told you, that we can use that kind of vehicle to advertise the programme...1000 Rolls
Royces gathered together at the Redemption Camp; we cover the entire body with posters
and then we form a convoy and drive right through Lagos to the crusade ground. You don't
need any other advertisement. I know Lagosians. 1000 Rolls Royces going in the same
direction, they will come to find out what's happening there. How many of you will have one
of those 1000? Let me hear you shout Alleluia! (Alleluia!) Thank You Daddy!
The Bible tells us that Isaac became so wealthy that he became the envy of a nation. I don't
know how many of us here that can say Nigeria is talking about your wealth. There are very
few of us here that Nigeria even knows at all that we have any money. If you ask anybody in
the street and you say, "Mention ten rich Nigerians." They are not likely to mention your
name. But before the end of the year, as my Lord lives, things will change for you.
In fact, the plan of God for you according to Deuteronomy 28:12 is that you are to lend to
nations. Nations should come to you and say, "Sir, Ma, Please we can't balance our budget.
Can you give us a loan of 500 million dollars. Now, I know nobody has enough faith to say
Amen to that! (Amen!) Then you will say, "Oh! that's no problem. I'll give you, only one
condition - on all the television stations in your nation, on every radio for one hour a day I
must be allowed to preach the gospel. That's the only condition. Is anybody ready for that
kind of money?
So there are some of you who have maybe one million or two and you are already satisfied.
You better change your mind. Ask the Almighty God to enlarge your coasts. I know there is
someone here tonight, I have no doubt in my mind at all who is going to come to me in
January 1999 and say, "Daddy, the convention of this year, I am paying for it!" (Amen!) Is
there anybody like that here? Yes, it shall be so, in Jesus' Name!
Now I know what it is to be a poor man. I have been poor and I'm not going to be poor
anymore! No more! I know what it is to need money for the work of God and be without.
Now, I've shared this testimony with you before: - Now we were having the Convention; we
were still very, very, very few. The crowd had gathered and my wife came to me in my old
office there and said, "Darling, we need N5000 to buy condiments". So I said to her, "When
do you need the money? Now? Or today? She said, what's the difference between the two?"
"Don't ask me just answer my question - is it now or today!" Because at that time there was
no kobo in my pocket. If she had said "Now", I would have been in trouble. She said, "well,
Okay, today." I said, " Okay, you can go." She left and when she left, I prayed, "God, your
children had gathered. They are expecting food. No kobo in my pocket - You know that. And I
have no money in the bank. Over to You. I can't do more than that.

" Some minutes after I prayed one big man came in, in flowing agbada and said." I didn't
know that so much is going on here. Next year I will be part of it! I said, "We are talking of
today. You are talking of next year." {I didn't say it out oh!, I said it within me!" But then he
said," But for now..." He put his hand in his pocket and brought out an envelope. He gave it
to me and said, "..take this one for now!" I said eheh, now you are talking! So I blessed him
and he left and I opened the envelope - N1000! Now naira was powerful in those days, so I
said," Lord, thank You, one down, four to go." Some minutes after the big man left, two
young boys came in - "Daddy, when we see how you are fasting and praying, we don't think
you should be carrying the burden of the convention too! We don't have much...." Something
within me said, "Stop preaching; give me whatever you have." And then they gave me an
envelope and I prayed for them and they left. I opened the envelope N2000. I said, "Daddy,
3 down, 2 to go!" To cut a long story short, very soon, I had more than five thousand naira so
I sent to my wife and I said, "By the way, how much did you say you need?" some of you will
never go empty-handed again in your life? (Amen!)
He can pay your debt, make you rich and you can become a lender to nations. And then He
can help you pass your exam. Some people don't know that God is interested in students. He
said in James 1:5, "If any of you lack wisdom just ask me. He said, I will give to him liberally.
Some of you have been doing I-CAN, U-CAN 5 times, 7 times and have been failing. This time
now you are going to pass (Amen!)
Not only can He make you pass your exams He can make sure that you are always first. I
think parents will say Amen to that! (Amen!) You see because God said, in Deuteronomy
28:13, He said you will be head, you will not be tail. he said, "You will be above only, you will
never be beneath." That is the plan of God for everyone who is His child. When you find a
child of God doing very well and the people say, "How come you're doing so well? You say,
"What do you expect?" I mean, if you have Jesus Christ and the Bible says Jesus Christ is the
wisdom of God, then how can I have the wisdom of God and fail exams?
So He can heal you, He can make the barren fruitful, He can pay your debts and make you
very rich and He can help you pass your examinations. And then, He can help you get a
partner! I thought some people would say Amen to that! (Amen!)
Why? How do I know that He can help you get a partner? Because in Genesis 2:18 He's the
One who said, "It is not good that man should be alone. And if God says it is not good to be
alone then that God can solve that problem. As a matter of fact, do you know that Adam
never prayed for a wife? He didn't go to God. He didn't even know there's anything called a
partner. It is God who volunteered and said, "I'm going to give this fellow a help mate. all of
you who are of marriageable, this is your year! (Amen!) I don't know how the Lord is going to
do it but I know that there will be many wedding bells before the end of this year!
Now you see, Adam did not ask for a partner. God gave him one. So, even if you don't ask
for one God should be able to give you one. He is more than sufficient. But then He can even
do more than just get you a partner, He can get you a partner that will become a king!
(Amen!) or a president (Amen!) That's what happened to Esther and you know now for some
time I've been praying that all you, my daughters, you will marry somebody who will become
somebody (Amen!) Why?
Well something happened not too long ago. I travelled to one of these foreign countries and
the plane landed and parked. They announced my name: "Will Pastor Adeboye please
identify himself." "Ah!" I said, "What happened? What have I done?" Anyway so I got there

and said, "Yes, I am Pastor Adeboye." And they said, "Well, this officer wants to see you.."
Right at the mouth of the plane and the fellow said, "Yes, the High Commissioner said we
should meet you." Me? So he took my bag, I followed him and when we got to the
immigration there was a long queue but we just went straight to the top of the line because
of the badge the officer was wearing. And he got there and said, "He's a guest of the High
Commissioner." They said, "Welcome, Sir." I said, "Me?" So I threw up my head and began to
walk like glory be to God. He picked my loads and we got to customs. They saw his badge
and they were all saying, "Welcome, Sir", "Welcome, Sir" and I just walked through like that.
And I said, "Well, I don't know where I knew the High Commissioner." They said, "One of your
daughters married him!" I said, "Is that so?"
From now on every one of my daughters will marry somebody who will become somebody so
that I will be treated like royalty. Glory be to God for ever more. Alleluia! (Alleluia!) Not only
that, if you marry somebody who will become somebody, God can use you to save a whole
nation. That's what God did to Esther. You too can become somebody that God could use to
save as nation. The same is true of brothers too. You will marry good girls in Jesus' Name.
(Amen!)
Not only can God do all these things for you, He can give you great spiritual power. I know
that's what some of us want because, I mean, I think I told some of my children, some time
ago. If God lays two things before you and He says on the left is 1 billion dollars and on the
right the ability to wave your hand and the dead will rise. And He says you must pick only
one of the two - which one will you pick? Thank You, Father!
This God that we are talking about is able to give you tremendous spiritual power! Thank You
Lord! Thank You Father! Thank You Daddy!
In Acts 3:1-8 the Bible tells us that Peter had the power just to touch the lame man and the
lame man began to walk. Those of us who were here last Friday, we had a similar testimony
- somebody whose back was broken and God settled the matter. I believe God will do the
same tonight. But then God can move from you healing by touching to a special case like we
have in Acts 19:11-12. The Bible says, God performed special miracles by the hand of Paul that from his body aprons and handkerchiefs were taken to the sick and they were healed
and demons departed from them.
God can go from there and so give you so much power that like Peter your shadow can heal.
Ive told you the story before - some of you were there when it happened; when God said He
wanted to heal some people with severe backache, so bad they could not bend to touch
their toes and He asked me to call them out and when I called them out He asked me to
dance round them. I said, "Dance? If you ask me to slap their back I don't mind, but dance?
Why will I say I'm dancing? I'm rejoicing because you have backache?" But then God wanted
to show His power so I told the band to begin to beat and I began to dance. Now, I tell you
the truth, I looked like a fool when I was dancing round those people; but after I've danced
for 5 minutes God said, "That's enough. Tell them to touch their toes!" And they were all
healed, every one of them! (Amen!)
God can give you so much power, that your shadow will be healing the sick. Is there
anybody who wants that kind of power tonight. You will get it in Jesus Name! (Amen!)

Now why is God able to do all this? Why is He able to make the barren become the mother of
seven? How come that He is not only able to heal you but to give you the healing touch?
How come He cannot only pay your debt, He can make you a lender to nations? How come
He cannot only pay your debts but He can make you so rich that a whole nation will be
talking about you? How come that He can not only help you pass your exams but can make
sure that you are always coming first in class? How come that He can not only just get you a
partner but it won't be just a partner but somebody who will be somebody? How come He is
able to give you as much spiritual power as you want?
Because in John 1:1-3, the Bible says, "In the beginning was the Word, the Word was with
God, the Word was God and the same was with God in the beginning and by him
were all things made and there was nothing made that was not made by him." Now because
He made all, therefore He owns all.Ps.24:1 says, "The earth is the Lords and the fullness
thereof." And then He said in Jeremiah 32:27, He said, I am the God of all flesh. Is there
anything too hard for me?" Tell your neighbour :" My own will not be too hard for God
tonight!"
But then the Bible says in Psalm 115:3, "Our God is in the heavens - He does as He pleases."
He has the ability to do everything, He made all things. He owns all things. He controls all
things. But then He does as He pleases. But tonight, I believe it will please Him to do my
own. That's why I want you to pray now - I want you to stand on your feet and say, Almighty
God! I know you can do all things. You have the ability to do it. You created all things! Oh!
Lord, I know you can do all things! Do my own Father! Do my own tonight! I know You do as
You please in the Kingdom of Heaven. Please Lord! Do my own tonight! Do my own
tonight." Open your mouth and cry unto Him! "Oh! Lord! Do my own tonight!" If it is healing,
cry unto Him! If it is prosperity, cry unto Him! If it is success in your examination, cry unto
Him! Or if it is a future partner you need - cry unto Him! If you need power, the anointing of
the Almighty God, cry unto Him! Call on Him! He can do your own. He's able to do it. He
made all. He owns all. He owns all. He controls all and He does as He pleases.
Ask Him, "Lord! Let it please You tonight to do my own. Let it please You to do my own
tonight! Oh! Lord! (Let it please You to do my own tonight!) Let it please You to do my own
tonight! Please Lord, Let it please You to do my own tonight! Let it please You to do my own
tonight! Blessed be Your Holy Name Lord. Increase Your anointing upon my life, my Father
and my God; so mightily that Your work will be easier to do! Yes, Lord! Prosper me so
mightily that I'll be lending to nations. Lord God Almighty! Let me find favour with You like
never before. I know You can do all things - draw me closer to You, let me know You more!
Father, let me know You more; let me know the power of Your resurrection more than ever
before. Do my own tonight and I will glorify Your Name for it, in Jesus' Name we have prayed!
(Amen!)
Please let's join our hands together and pray corporately. Pray for the fellow you are holding
and say, "Father, surprise him or her tonight!" Go ahead! Talk to the Almighty God. "Surprise
him tonight Oh! Lord! Meet all His needs tonight! Father, surprise him tonight. In every
sphere of his life surprise him. Physically surprise him; materially surprise him; spiritually
surprise him; surprise him tonight Lord in your own supernatural way, surprise him! Oh! Lord
God! Surprise him tonight! Give him a surprise packet tonight; a surprise packet tonight. To
the glory of Your Holy Name - give him a surprise packet tonight! That the whole world may
know, my Father and my God that you are the All Sufficient One, surprise your son tonight!
Oh! Yes, Father! Surprise him tonight; to the glory of Your Name, Surprise Him tonight. Thank
You Father! In Jesus Mighty Name we have prayed!

Brethren! Let us pray for all the singles in our midst tonight, that before the end of this year
they will be settled in their own home. Let's pray for them, let's pray for them! Pray for the
singles, that they'll all be settled in their homes before the end of this year; in God's own
supernatural way they will be settled in their own homes, married to somebody who will

want to be lending to nations, Lord! I want to be lending to nations! Prosper me so much
that I'll be lending to nations! Very, very soon I want to be lending to nations. I don't know
how You will do it Lord, but I know You can do it and I know its in Your Word. So fulfil Your
promise, Lord! Prosper me so mightily Lord that I'll be lending to nations. Thank You Lord!
Glory be to God. In Jesus Mighty Name we have prayed!
One more. One or two more prayers. Now I want you to say, "Lord! Empower me with Your
divine power, so that when I wave my hand, the dead will rise! Oh! Lord, empower me! that
as I speak Your Word the lame will be walking, the blind will be seeing, the deaf will be
hearing....all kinds of miracles the world has never seen before will begin to happen Father!
Empower me tonight, like never before, to the glory of Your Holy Name! Lord! Empower me!
Empower me Lord! Anoint me afresh to the glory of Your Holy Name! Thank You Jesus! Oh
yes Lord! let it be done now! In Jesus Mighty Name we have prayed!
Second to the last prayer. The last prayer is so important you have to pray this one first. Just
say, "God!" (God!) "Increase my faith!" (Increase my faith!) Go ahead! Talk to the Lord.
Thank You my Lord! Increase my faith so that Your Name will be glorified. Thank You Jesus! In
Jesus Mighty Name we have prayed!
Now the last prayer for yourself. You see, the Bible says it will be unto you according to your
faith. That's why I asked you to pray that God will increase your faith. This last prayer is that
whatever you want from God, go ahead and ask God now! Thank You my Lord and my
Saviour. Alleluia! Father! Thank You Jesus! Thank You Lord! Alleluia! Thank You Lord! Glory be
to God! Alleluia! Father! Glory be to God! Thank You Father! In Jesus Mighty Name we have
prayed!
Now let's round up this segment with a prayer for Nigeria; that the good work God has
started in Nigeria by giving us a new beginning, that God will complete it quickly. Let's talk

quickly. Restore the fortunes of Nigeria! Restore to us all the years that the cankerworm, the
caterpillars and the palmerworm. Help us, Oh Lord solve all the problems plaguing the nation

Sufficient One. Thank You for all of us who are here tonight! Thank You for Nigeria! Thank You
for our new President! Thank You for the new work that You have started! Thank You because

Shake hands with one or two people and say, Surely, its my turn!
All glory be to God! Alleluia! (Alleluia!) God bless you! You may be seated.
We continue with our series, The Holy Spirit in the life of Peter. Luke 5 v.1-7
Somebodys going to get boat-sinking blessings tonight! (Amen!) You know the story. We
have been following the story up to this moment. There were 2 boats, empty. The fishermen
had worked all night and they caught nothing. And the Lord came and wanted to use a boat.
He chose the boat that belonged to Peter. You must have wondered why He chose the boat
that belonged to Peter. Because the people in the other boat could have said, What is the
difference between his boat and our boat? I think weve talked briefly about that but well
talk a little more about that now.
The person that the Almighty God is going to bless abundantly must be someone who is
willing to share. As soon as Peter observed that he had more fish than his boat could carry
he beckoned to the 2nd boat. Many of us want the blessings of the Almighty God but we
dont want to share. And yet the Bible says in Prov.11:25, it says: The liberal soul shall be
made fat; and he that waters shall be watered himself. When you read Luke 4 from verse 25
to 26 the Bible tells us that there were several widows in the time of Elijah but Elijah was
sent to only one the widow of Zarephath. Why? Because that widow was a chronic sharer.
When Elijah got to her and said, Give me food, she said, I have only one meal. Elijah

said, Give me that one. The woman said, You can have it! The fellow who is willing to
share the last meal definitely will survive any famine.
In Luke 4 v. 27 the Bible says during the days of Elisha there were many lepers in the land,
but he was sent unto Nahman the leper for cleansing because Nahman was a generous
leper. When you read 2 Kings 5. If you read from v1-5 here youll find that when Nahman
was coming to Elisha for healing, he did not come empty-handed. As a matter of fact he
came with a generous gift. And when you read 2 Kings 4 from v.8 17 youll find the story of
the woman of Shunam and you will observe something about this woman that blessed are
the generous because their greatest needs will be met. You can write that down and put it
somewhere in the Bible: Blessed are the generous for their deepest needs shall be met
The Bible says in Acts 19:11 and 12; it said, God performed special miracles by the hand of
Paul, so much that from his body aprons and handkerchiefs were taken to those that were
sick and they were healed and the devils departed from them.
Many of us want the power of God; we want the anointing of God; we want the sweat on our
faces to heal the sick but God is not going to release His anointing to those who are miserly
because He knows that if you get that power you won't release it. He who cannot be
generous with money, surely will not be generous with anointing. If you cannot be generous
with spiritual things Paul said in 2 Cor.12:15; he said, I am willing to spend and be spent. I
have spent a lot of time studying the stories of great men of God. Whenever I found a man
of God that was seriously powerful, I study him because the Bible says if you walk with wise
men you will be wise. So if you study powerful men you are likely to become powerful. I've
told God from day one that I became born again - I don't want to be a powerless Christian.
One of the greatest secrets of Paul is that he was a sharer. The people that God will hand
over his keys to are people who are determined to be generous. Anybody who is going to be
blessed abundantly must be somebody who is ready to share. Is there anybody here tonight
who is willing to be a sharer from now on? Let me hear your Amen then! Amen!
But you see, actually, our attention tonight is on the 2nd boat. I could imagine how the
people in the 2nd boat felt, when the Lord came and chose Peter's boat and He apparently
ignored them. But I've studied the 2nd boat and I've found out that there are a lot of joys in
being number 2.
Oh, it is wonderful to be No. ! but I've discovered that there are a lot of joys in being number
2. At least from my own personal experience, when my Father in the Lord was alive. He was
Number one. I was only a Pastor - all I had to do was whatever he asked me to do - I did it.
anytime I asked for his permission to do something and he gave the permission...oh..oh...let
the Devil stand in the way...I will jump over him because I say my Father is at home, he sent
me. Then Papa died and poor me, they pushed me to number one and now instead of being
carried, I have to carry some people.
The people in the 2nd boat - they didn't throw the net; they didn't catch the fish but their
boat was full. The greatest joy of being number 2 is that you will drink from the wells you did
not dig. You will live in a house you did not build. You will wear clothes that you didn't even
know how it came about. When you go through the Scripture you will find the number two's
when you read Genesis 22:15-18. You will find that Abraham was the one who made the
sacrifice, Isaac is the one who got the double blessing. God said to Abraham, "Because you
have done this I swear, in blessing, I will bless you and then He turned to Isaac and said, "In

multiplying, I will multiply you..." I think there is a lot of joy in being Number Two. When you
read Deuteronomy 34 verse 9. The Bible says, "Joshua, the son of Nun, was full of the spirit
of wisdom because Moses had laid his hands on him. Moses, poor Moses...40 years in the
wilderness, he saw the bush burning without being consumed, he faced Pharaoh, crossed
the Red Sea, was tormented by the children of Israel. And Joshua, all he did was he knelt
down and Moses laid hands on him and everything that Moses has stored up over the 80
years, entered Joshua in 1 day! I believe it is my turn tonight!
When you consider Elijah and Elisha - you know the story very well. We didn't know where
Elijah went to Bible College. All we know is he spent time with the widow and then he ran
and ran from King Ahab. He went through all kinds of problems but Elisha, number two, he
just came and said, That which you have, multiply by two and give to me." Study the life of
Elisha very well. There was never a time he had to stay alone with birds - he was moving
from one palace to another. I think it is a good thing to be number two.
Oh, but let's go a little further and consider God, the Father and God, the Son. The Bible says
God has spoken once, twice have I heard that power belongs to God. Then the Bible tells us,
the Father loves the Son and has given everything into His hands. So Jesus came and said,
All power in heaven and earth had been given unto me and the Bible went further to say
that God had so highly exalted Him and had given Him a Name that is above every other
name! Let somebody shout Alleluia! (Alleluia!). So if you are not the first one chosen by God,
just rejoice because your turn will come today.
Oh, it is true God chose Peter's boat first; because God is sovereign,. According to Ps.115
verse 3 the Bible says, "Our God is in the heavens, He does as He pleases." He decides who
to bless, when to bless and where to bless and nobody can challenge Him. Aren't you happy
that they don't vote before God will save your soul? If it is by voting, many of us will never
get to Heaven, because the people you thought are your friends; the people that you think
will vote for you to go to Heaven, they will say, "No, that fellow? If that fellow goes to
Heaven who are we going to shake hands with in Hell?" Thank God that God is not a
democrat. He does whatever He pleases and I have good news for you - it has pleased Him
that today will be your day. God does as He pleases. Just like our brother has shared in John
5 from verse 2 to 9. He can come to a multitude and heal only one. And walk away from
there - nobody can challenge Him; after all He wasn't paid for the healing.
But He can also heal all because in Matthew 12 verse 15 the Bible says, "A great multitude
came unto Him and He healed all of them! If yesterday He healed only one and today He
decides to heal everybody, who is the fellow big enough to say. "Why do you do it that way?"
His method may vary - the fellow He blesses first is His choice; the fellow He blesses second
id His choice. The important thing is that He blesses everybody. In John 9 v. 1 to 7 He wanted
to heal a blind man. He spat on the ground, made mud out of the ground and put it on the
eyes of the blind man and said, Go and wash." and the man washed and came back
seeing! But when He came to Bartimaeus, he too was blind. God didn't waste His time
spitting in the ground, He just said, What do you want?" "Eyes" "Eh-eh? OK, get eyes!" He
can use whatever method He wants!
Now, the more total the failure seems, the greater will be the manifestation of the power of
God. The people in the second boat thought that they had failed and failed. They toiled all
night, they caught nothing, the Almighty God came and chose another boat and left their
own! But before the day was out they discovered that it doesn't matter whether He chooses
you first or second. No matter how great the failure, when the Almighty God intervenes, the
testimony becomes great. So is anyone here tonight with the biggest testimony of all!

Even when God told Sarah, "Sarah youre going to have a baby," she laughed because she
believed that it was too late. But God said, Because it is your turn and I believe tonight
someone is thinking it is already too late, God is saying - "It's your turn!"
The people in the second boat thought that God had forgotten them. They thought that God
had forsaken them - that they must be inferior somehow, that he had to choose another
boat and ignore them. But God never forgets. He cannot even possibly forget you. In Isa.
49:15 and 16 God asked a question: "Is it possible for a woman to forget the child of her
womb? He said, It is possible - after all the mother may fall asleep, but God can never
forget you. He said your names have been written in the palm of my hand. So even if I want
to forget you, I can't forget my hands. That's why I tell people who threaten me, I said my
future is not in your hands, my future is in the hands of the Alpha and Omega and it is not
possible for God to forget you. There are some of you who would think that God has forsaken
you.all these years you have been praying, just like we have heard, trusting God for one
miracle or another. Holy Ghost night after Holy Ghost night you had come and you will come
and you will hear testimonies, which means God is at work healing, setting people free,
performing miracles! You say God, What about me? Could it be that you have forsaken me?
No! He said in Heb.13:5.. He said, I will never leave you, I will never forsake you. He said
in Psalm 27 verse 10, He said, Even if your parents forsake you, He said I will receive you.
He said, inIsaiah 43:2, He said, Even if you have to pass through fire, I will still be there
with you. The Almighty God says in Acts 10:34 and 35 that he is no respecter of persons.
Anybody who fears Him, everyone who will do His will is accepted by Him. So if God could
perform a miracle for one person, definitely He can do your own because He is more than
sufficient for all. His name is Jehovah El Shaddai, the All Sufficient One.
Now your own turn for your miracles is now. (Amen!) Why? Now, I know that God works
according to a time-table. According to Ecclesiastics 3 verses 1 to 8 for everything there is a
time and God will not do anything until the time is ripe. In Acts 2 verses 1 to 4 the Bible
says, When the day of Pentecost wasfully come.., When the day of Pentecost
was fully come.., when the time-table was right. When the plan of God for that particular
day came. Suddenly there came a sound from heaven as of a rushing, mighty wind. I
mean, you know the rest of the story. You see, when your day comes, the miracle you are
expecting will come suddenly. Thats why Im sure, your day will come! (Amen!)
Hannahs day came. If you read her storyshes been going to the temple every year for
years! But one day her day came. Bartemeus for years he had been placed by the roadside
begging. In fact, he didnt even have any hope at all. But then one day came according to
the timetable of God and Jesus was passing by. The man you read about in Acts 3 verses 1-8,
that man was born lame, had been placed by the gate that was called Beautiful for 40 years.
They would just place him there, the service would go on and he was suffering outside there.
But his day came at the time he wasnt expecting at all. Suddenly his sorrow ended and this
man that we were told about (thats why I said the Bishop had preached my sermon) had
been there for 38 years hoping, hoping, hoping that one day would be one day. And then one
day was one day!
So I know that God brought somebody here tonight. The fellow may be coming for the first
time. The fellow may have been coming for years! But I know that the situation today is
different. I know that the day has come for someone. If you are the one let me hear you
shout Alleluia! (Alleluia!) How do I know that today will be your day? Because it was the day
for Peter that was also the day for the second boat. Oh, yes! It was Peters boat that was

chosen first but before the day was out 2 boats were full of fish. That of Peter and that of the
second boat and you know what? Whenever you begin to think: Maybe this is not my day,
remember the story in John 2:1-11. There was a wedding in Cana of Galilee; they lacked
wine; the mother of Jesus came to him and said they lacked wine. Jesus said to her:
Woman, what do I have to do with you? My hour is not yet come. Now, when did the hour
come? It came that day. As a matter of fact, it came some minutes later!
I believe theres someone here that within the next few minutes something is going to
happen to you! Theres no reason why that day cant be today. After all the woman with the
issue of blood had suffered for a long time but she made up her mind that enough is enough.
I have been hearing testimonies it is my turn! If the mountain wont come to Mohammed,
Mohammed will go to the mountain. If Jesus wont come to my house, I will go to His house!
Is anybody here whos going to touch Jesus tonight? Let me hear you shout Alleluia!
(Alleluia!)
If there's anybody here tonight who's not yet born again, I pity you because right now the
power of God is about to descend and if there is sin in your life that is not yet cleansed in the
blood of the Lamb you will just hear the miracle happening but if you want to give your life
to Jesus now you can come very quickly and hurry up, hurry up because we don't have time
to waste because the wind is blowing already. The Almighty God is here already and He's
going to do marvellous things in our lives. So if you are here and you are not yet born again,
hurry up now because the Lord is waiting. He wants to save your soul so that when He
begins to touch people you can receive your touch too. So if you want to give your life to
Jesus come from allover now. This is the Hour of Salvation. It is your turn now to be saved. It
is your turn now to get out of the Kingdom of Satan. It is your turn now to come out of
darkness and come into His glorious light.
Keep coming, keep coming. I know some of you are coming from a long distance so I'll wait
for some ten seconds. But you must hurry up, hurry up - this is the Day of Salvation. The
Lord is here tonight and He wants to save your soul. He wants to wash you in His blood. He
wants to make you clean. He wants to touch you tonight. It is your turn to have a testimony.
It's your turn to have a testimony of salvation. It is your turn to be washed in the blood of
the Lamb. It's your turn for your yokes to be broken. Oh, He has saved the soul of some
people before but it is your turn now. Maybe you are in boat number two and it is your turn
to receive your blessing. So those of you who are coming for salvation - hurry up, hurry up,
hurry up. The Lord is calling you now, the Lord is calling you now.
Brethren, those of us who are already born again, let us begin to intercede on behalf of
these people that the Almighty God will save their souls tonight; that He will cleanse them in
the Blood tonight. Oh, yes, let's begin to pray for them! And those of you who have come
forward - you too begin to talk to the Almighty God and say, "Lord, save my soul today. It is
my turn to be saved! Save my soul tonight! Cleanse me in Your Blood! Have mercy on me,
oh Lord! Father, have mercy on me tonight! Forgive all my sins and write my names in the
Book of Life! Oh, yes! Keep coming! Keep coming now! This is the Hour of Salvation! This is a

give your life to Him! When He saves your soul then every other miracle will follow. Salvation
must come first! Oh, yes! You must be saved first! Thank You Jesus! Thank You Lord! In Jesus
Mighty Name we pray!
We are going to pray now but those of you who are coming keep coming! If you get here
before I finish the prayer, that's fine, but if you are in the congregation and you are not
saved and you are sitting down there, I pity you because a day like this will never come
again! So if you are not sure of your salvation before, I want you to make sure you get to the
front! Oh! Thank You Jesus! Be glory to Your Holy Name! Thank You Jesus! Thank You Jesus!
They're running, instead of walking before! I'll wait another 5 seconds because this is the
greatest of all miracles. Blessed, blessed be the Name of the Lord!
My Lord and my Saviour, I want to thank You! I know that tonight is going to be a special
night. Thank You for bringing these people forward. You are the Saviour of mankind. Glory be

their turn for salvation. Save their souls (Amen!) Forgive their sins!(Amen!) Cleanse them in
Your Blood! (Amen!) Write their names in Your Book of Life! (Amen!) From today let every

present. If you dance tonight, dance with the consciousness that God is present and those of
you who want hands to be laid on you, for the laying-on of hands go with the consciousness

that God is present. There is a place on our right, at the extreme left and behind the altar.

You Father for we have prayed in Jesus' mighty Name. Amen! Praise the Lord!

Back to the story..I think that God is actually telling us through that story that the empty
shall be full. (Amen!) Its one of the prophecies that God gave us at the beginning of the year
and I believe the time has come.
Remember He told us at the beginning of the year that He would move mountains. Now He
told me last night that the time has come to begin to fill the valleys (Amen!) Mountains have
been moved, now valleys are to be filled. That's why I agree 100% that it is our turn!
The two boats were empty when the Holy Ghost carrier arrived. When Jesus Christ, the
carrier of the Holy Ghost arrived on the scene, the two boats were empty. But by the time He
finished with the two boats, they were full. But its not just the boats that were empty, the
owners of the boats themselves were empty. They were empty physically because they were
tired. They were empty materially because they fished all night and they caught nothing.
They were empty of joy because there was nothing to rejoice about. They were empty of
hope because they h ad tried again, hoping that the next throw of the net would bring in a
catch and nothing had happened. And they were empty of confidence. They used to think
that they were great fishermen, that if theres any fish in any river, they will go there and
they will catch the fish! But after fishing all night and catching nothing - they were empty of
confidence. But when the Holy Ghost Carrier came - the empty became full.
I believe that there are some people here tonight who are empty physically - thy are tired,
they have carried their problems for so long, they have prayed for so long they're tired. Oh, I
know what it is to be in problems. I know how you can be so deep in a problem that you
can't even pray. I know how far down you can be in a problem that the only thing you can
say is "mmmmh!" I know there are some of you who know what I'm talking about. but
tonight the empty shall be full (Amen!) Because Is.40:29-31 says that our God gives strength
to the weak. In fact, it said that those who wait upon the Lord shall renew their strength. So
those of you who are empty physically - you have carried a burden for so long there is no
more strength to carry the burden - tonight He will renew your strength. O some of us know
how to be empty materially - I've told people before, when the toll gate used to be at the
Lagos end. There had been days when I had wanted to go to Lagos and I could not go
because there was no two naira for the toll fee. So I know what it is to be poor - I know what
it is to put your hand in your pocket and there's nothing to come out! Of course, I believe in
the mighty name of Jesus Christ that those days are gone forever! (Amen!) If you are in that
situation tonight, I have good news for you - the empty shall be full! (Amen!) Because when
the Holy Ghost carrier got to the widow of Zarephath in 1 Kings 17 verses 8 to 16, the
woman said there is nothing left in the pot. But from that day the pots were continually full!
Tell your neighbour "Your pockets will never be empty again!" Ah! Say it as if you mean it
now!!! "Your pockets will never be empty again!" because the empty shall be made full In
Jesus Mighty Name! (Amen!)
These men were empty of hope until the Holy Ghost carrier came and all of a sudden hope
came because he found that with God on your side you can throw one net and fill your
boats. Many of us have tried. Some of us have tried several business. You hear that if you do
this, people who are doing it are succeeding, so you did it and instead of succeeding you
failed and you tried another and you tried another and you tried another and now you are
even afraid to try. But as God has spoken to us tonight this is the year of new beginnings and
from now on according to Colossians 1:27 Christ in you, the hope of glory. I know that your
tomorrow is going to be alright (Amen!) because the empty shall be full!
Oh, these people were empty of joy because there was nothing to rejoice about. I told you
Peter was there because he was afraid to go home because mother-in-law was at home and

there is no food to take home. If there is no food to take home and the only fellow you have
to deal with is your wife then you can use bold face. "Where is the fish, Peter?" You can say,
"Which fish? If it is easy to fish why don't you go out!" But you can't say that to mother-inlaw. Peter was sad but when he threw that one net and he found fishes leaping up and he
saw his boat full of fish, suddenly joy came again. And those of you who have not known joy
for a long, long time - from today your joy will bubble up (Amen!) Why? Because the empty
shall be full.
These people had lost confidence until this miracle happened. Suddenly confidence came
and now they realised that according to Philippians 4:13. I can do all things through Christ
who strengtheneth me. I believe there are some of us here who have lost confidence in
ourselves. As a matter of fact the Lord spoke to me concerning a particular student who had
failed so many examinations that now he's even afraid of the word "exams". The Lord asked
me to tell you you're going to end up a professor! (AMEN!) because I can do all things
through Christ which strengthens me, I can move mountains according toMark 11:23 and
24 because I have a God on my side. With God on your side there'll be no more failures.
Why? Because He says we shall be head and we shall never be tail! That we will be above
only - there's no possibility of us being above today and down tomorrow - it will never
happen again! (Amen!) No, no, no! I know that there are enemies that will want to fight; but
the Bible says in Psalm 144 verse 1, it said, the Lord has taught my hands to war. from now
on any enemy that steps in your way shall be stepping stone to glory (Amen!) And because
the Lord will meet all your needs you will never want again because the empty shall be full.
These people had worked very hard, but there were no fruits to show for their labour. The
only way we can know that a fisherman had worked hard is if there is plenty of fish but when
the HGC arrived on the scene the fruitless suddenly became fruitful. So I can say with
confidence to the barren that very soon the barren shall say that I am the mother of seven because the empty shall be full!
These people were empty spiritually. All they were concerned about was fishing, to get food
to eat but then before the Lord finished with them He said to Peter for example, "Today you
are catching fish but from now on you'll begin to catch men." I know there are people here
tonight - before they leave this place tonight they will become fishers of men. But then,
when the boats were full, the Bible says - they began to sink - it wasn't that they sank but
they were beginning to sink. I wish we had time to look at the difference between the two.
Maybe if God wants we'll pick it up from there in October because there's a difference
between 'they were sinking' and 'they sank'. They were sinking but they never sank which
means that they ought to sink to the ground but there is something supporting them that
refused to allow them to reach the ground - because the Bible says - underneath are the
everlasting arms!
You see many of us are afraid of abundance because we believe that if God blesses us too
much we might backslide. No. no. no! He can overload you but He can make sure that you
don't sink - remember He told us that its going to begin to rain and I've asked Him again and
again, "Lord, don't make it ordinary train - make it torrents of rain!" I know some of you are
already expecting your Rolls Royces. You can be sure they are on the way (Amen!) And we
are not going to backslide because of it because the everlasting arms will keep us floating.
But the fact that the boats were sinking means that the boats were overloaded and that tells
us something about our God - whenever God decided to fill the empty, He will make sure
they overflow! David said that, "Thou anointest my head with oil, my cup runneth over.."

When God begins to fill your cup, He's not going to fill your cup when the cup is full! He will
only stop when the cup begins to overflow! Everything God does, He does in supernatural
abundance - the air we breathe is so much that we can never finish it. It doesn't matter how
many millions of fish may be in the ocean - there is more water than fish,. It doesn't matter
how many millions of birds fly in the air; there is always more space than the birds. So don't
be envious of your brother when God begins to bless him because there is more than
enough with our Father!! He can bless you and bless you and bless you and there will still be
enough for me. Remember He said in Malachi 3 verse 10, He said, "When I open the
windows of heaven." and He's going to open the windows tonight! He said, "I will pour in a
blessing that there will not be enough room to receive! Our God is a god who keeps on
pouring even when the cup is full.
In Deuteronomy 28:2 God said, "That when the blessings He gives you are too many and you
begin to run away from the blessings, the blessings will pursue you and overtake you.
Several years ago when I got born again and my Daddy and I talked together, you know we
had been friends for a long time, I used to say, "Daddy, youre too much! "Daddy, youre
too much! and then one occasion came and He decided to prove to me that Hes actually
too much. Im going to tell this story; some of you have heard a little of it before but Im
telling the story for a purpose because theres somebody here today who very soon must be
saying : "Daddy, youre too much! Amen! (Amen!)
I told you I was to travel outside Nigeria, to Canada, for the first time in my life. Ive never
even been to London before talk less of Canada but they told me what to do so I boarded the
plane but as usual our beloved Nigeria Airways was late in taking off. By the time we arrived
in London the plane that was to take me from London to Canada had left. What am I going to
do? I dont know anybody here. Ive never been here before! Then one of the hostesses in
British Airways said, dont worry, well check you into a hotel and Nigeria Airways will pay.
So she checked me into a hotel. As soon as she finished, gave me the ticket and the pass
and everything, I think the fellow just said, Ah, I better tell Nigeria Airways.. I could hear
someone saying What did you do? Who told you to check him I began to run! Anyway,
I got to the hotel a very comfortable place. I told some of you the story before. It was time
to eat, and when I got there, there were two restaurants, one on the right and one on the
left. I didnt know which one to turn to, so I said, When I get to Heaven I will turn right! So I
turned to the right. And wow! The food was fantastic! I ate there that afternoon; ate there
the following evening, ate there the following morning! When It was time to leave and I gave
them my ticket they said, You should not be eating here. You should be eating there. This is
for first class passengers, - that is for your people! I said, Thats very goodIm already
going!
Anyway, so we arrived in Canada. It was cold. There was a long queue as we were
registering. I was the only black mathematician there and I was shaking in the cold.
Suddenly one woman, right from the top of the table, got up and came to me with a cup of
tea and sandwiches. She said, Thats for you! I said. Thank you!. I didnt wait for her to
say it the second time. I grabbed the thing. Before she had said anything, I had finished the
tea. Want more? I said, Yes, ma! Then she asked for my name and went away. By the
time she was bringing the second cup of tea she brought my registration and then she asked
me to sit down because somebodys coming to take me to my room. I said, Lord! "Daddy,
youre too much! Glory be to God! I got to my room; took a hot shower and I slept away!
The following morning when the conference was to start there was a lot of noise all over
the University that woke me up. I was almost late for the conference but as I was going and I
kept hearing the noise I asked somebody, Whats the noise about? They said, Oh! They
are rejoicing because the sun has come out for the first time in six months! I didn't tell the

fellow that the sun came out because of me! Because God knows I dont like cold so He sent
the sun. I said, "Daddy, youre too much! Glory be to God!
And the conference started and the first man who gave his paper began to talk about the
mathematics of rain. Everybody who gave a paper before me they tore them to shreds. So
I was afraid; then it was my turn. So I said the little I knew and everybody started clapping!
Ah!, I said , "Daddy, youre too much! Glory be to God!
And all the food they were serving, they were good food but they were oyinbo food and I was
saying, Oh, God! How I wish there was pounded yam! Suddenly, somebody came and
knocked at my door. And he introduced himself. He said his name is Yesufu or something. I
know if his name is Yesufu, he must come from Nigeria. He said, I saw your name and I
know this is one of my people! He said, Tonight you are going to eat in my apartment!
And he prepared very good pounded yam. So I said, , , "Daddy, youre too much!
The following day, they took us to a government farm, just for relaxation and they prepared
oh! Very nice food and I took my food and I went outside. The grass was very green I
wanted to sit down but when I touched the ground, it was very cold and so I got up. And
there was a young Englishman who came for the programme so he looked at me and said,
You want to sit down? I said, No, no! Then God spoke to me and said, , Sit down son!
After all you are the son of the King of Kings! I said , "Daddy, youre too much!
Let somebody shout Alleluia! (Alleluia!)
We came back home and my friend, Yesufu said, Tomorrow I will take you shopping. The
following day came I waited and waited. He didnt come. Then he phoned to say, Im
sorry, my supervisor is holding me. Some minutes later, he telephoned again. He said,
You know what? The place I wanted to take you to today announced that tomorrow they will
be 35 years old and everything in the shop has been reduced by 35%! I said , "Daddy,
youre too much! We got there. I bought everything I wanted to buy and then I saw a jacket.
I liked it but the money left in my pocket is the money that will take me from where we are
back to Toronto. So I just looked at it and said, Well, you cant have everything. Yesufu
saw me looking at it, he said nothing, When we got back home he said, Why didnt you buy
that jacket? I said, The money I have left is for transport. He said, I will take you to
Toronto lets go back and buy that jacket! I bought the jacket, I put it on, I said , "Daddy,
youre too much!
There is somebody here tonight, from tonight onwards you will be saying - "Daddy, youre
too much! Lets stand on our feet! I want you to pray a prayer very quickly and say,
Father! I am lifting my cup to You tonight! Fill it up and let it overflow! Go ahead and talk
to Almighty God! Father! I want my cup to overflow tonight! Fill my cup full to overflowing,
physically, materially, financially, emotionally, in every area of my life. I lift up my cup to you
tonight. Father! fill it up and let it overflow! Let the cup overflow! Let the cup overflow! O
Father!, O Father!, My cup of joy, let it overflow! My cup of blessings, let it overflow! My cup
of prosperity, let it overflow! Oh, yes Lord! I lift up the cup of my life to you tonight! Fill it up,
Lord and let it overflow. Oh, yes Father! anoint my head with oil and let my cup run over that
Your Name might be glorified! Go ahead and talk to the Almighty God! Fill up my cup O Lord
and let it overflow! Let it overflow! Blessed be the Name of the Lord! Oh! Glory be to the
Name of the Lord! Fill up my cup O Lord and let it overflow! Let it overflow! Financially,
materially, physically, spiritually, anointing-wise, joy-wise. Fill my cup O Lord and let my cup
overflow! OYL because the day has come when you have decided my Father! and my God, to
pay us a special visit. Let our cups overflow tonight! Let the whole world know, my Father!

and my God, that we are serving the living God! Fill our cups Lord! Fill it up and let the cups
overflow! Yes Lord! Thank You my Father! Glory be to Your Holy Name! In Jesus Mighty Name
we have prayed!
Father! I know you are too much and I want you to prove it to these your children before
they return next month. I want everyone of them to be able to say - "Daddy, youre too
much! (Amen!) The kind of joy, the kind of miracles, the kind of signs and wonders that will
cause people to say God , this is too much! give to your children In Jesus Name!. Bless
them O Lord and well give all the glory to You. Thank You Father for we have prayed In
Jesus Mighty Name! Let somebody shout Alleluia! (Alleluia!) Is that all you can do? Let
somebody shout Alleluia! (Alleluia!) Thank You Jesus! Glory be to You! You may be seated.
Thank You very much! O Lord! Thank You!
There are miracles and there are miracles. Many a time when I hear Daddy say something, if
I dont know His voice very well it will be difficult for me to repeat what He has said. When
He said last month that there was someone here who wanted to be taller and God said Hes
going to be taller by 2 inches and that he would discover because his trousers would
become too short I was almost afraid to say it. How can somebody grow 2 inches in one
night! But now I think I can say with all boldness Daddy you are too much. Thats why Im
sure that whatever God has promised you will come to pass (Amen!)
Theres a message God asked to deliver, but He asked me to deliver it actually to the
Redeemed Christian Church of God, Its a tough message but you see this is how we know
how much God loves us because whomsoever the Father loves He chastises. So if you are
here and you are not a member of the Redeemed Christian Church of God, if this message
does not concern just say, Ah, thank God, its for those poor people. God has already
blessed us tonight abi? (Amen!) Is there anybody here who has been blessed tonight? Let
me hear you shout Alleluia! (Alleluia!) So, if what you are about to hear is tough just
remember that it is for Redeemed Christian Church of god, its not for great people like you.
The only reason Im sharing it here is because if you come to the Holy Ghost Service I
believe you are part of me and whatever is good for me is good for you.
I was thanking the Lord after the Convention when I consider all that God had done. When I
remember, for example, that in 1982, one fellow came carrying a baby who was barren in 81
and we prayed for her. We were all so happy . Only one woman! But this year those who
were barren before who came with their children, they were over 4,300!! And several other
things that God did last month So I was thanking Him and I said to Him, Lord! Please dont
let me annoy You because I know if these people get angry with me and they all go away,
provided You are not angry with me we can start from scratch and become great again.
One thing I dont want to do O Lord I dont want to annoy You! Oh!, He said, Son
! Its good that you know that but the church doesnt know it. Go and tell them, that Hes
angry with some people already! That frightened me. And then He began to mention the
people that Hes angry with. Now if God is angry with you and He tells you Hes angry with
you, its a good thing because then you can run to Him and say, Lord, please forgive! and
the problem will be over. When Hes angry and He doesnt talk, that is when you are in
serious danger. He said Hes angry and He began to list them. I will mention just a few of
them because I believe the rest may not concern you.
Number one group that He says Hes angry with are those that are lukewarm, those that are
one leg in, one leg out, with one mouth they are praising Jesus, with another mouth they are

serving the Devil. God says He wishes that you are either hot or cold, but if you are
lukewarm He says He will spew you out of His mouth!
The second group that Hes angry with are those who refuse to win souls he said, I am
the vine, my Father is the husbandman. He said, I am the vine and you are the branches.
Any branch in Me that will not bear fruit My Father will tear away. God says Hes angry with
those who will come to the House of God, sing, dance, hear the Word of God and will not tell
others about Him. He said, When you were serving the Devil, you were telling others about
the Devil: when you discover one herbalist, one witch doctor that is good you tell others!
Now that you are in Christ and you are enjoying His blessings you are keeping your mouth
shut!" He says He's angry.
The third person that He says Hes angry with are those who are still committing adultery
and fornication. He said, in His Word, that if somebody stole because he was hungry, if you
catch him you will cause him to repay you sevenfold and thats the end of the story. He said
even if somebody killed and the avenger of blood is chasing him; if he can reach a city of
refuge before the avenger of blood he can stay there safe until the avenger dies. But He
says, if anybody commits adultery He will not send the angel to punish him. He said He
himself will supervise the destruction of that fellow! So anyone committing adultery or
fornication God says He is angry!
Number 4 group God says Hes angry with those who are robbing Him. He said it is a
terrible thing for anyone to even rob at all, but it is worse for anyone to rob God! And He
said those who are not paying their tithes correctly God says He is angry. He said He will
curse them! And like I told those of you who came to the Convention: if your father curses
you, your Pastor can cancel the curse; if your Pastor curses you, the General Overseer who
ordained him can cancel the curse; if the General Overseer curses you, you can appeal to
God Almighty and He can cancel the curse; if God curses you thats the end of the story.
And now He says those who are robbing Him of their tithes, Hes angry with them and they
are asking for His curse!
And then, number 5. Hes angry with those who refuse to accept Jesus Christ as Lord and
Saviour. He said because those who refuse to accept the Lord, they wont even see life but
the wrath of God is upon them!
He mentioned several others, many of them I know would not apply to you at all. And He
asked me to tell those of you who are concerned, if you repenttake a real decision Lord
no more lukewarmness, Lord from now on anyone I find I will tell them about you! Lord,
adultery, fornication is not going to be heard in my life again! Lord, till I die I will never rob
you again! He says His mercy endureth forever. So Im going to giver you three minutes to
pray. You will continua your prayers when you get home.
Its a very simple prayer: Lord, dont be angry with me. Just give me another opportunity. I
will put things right! Please Lord! Dont be angry! I know Ive annoyed you. I know Ive been
guilty of one or more of these! Please Lord! Dont be angry with me! Just be merciful! I
promise you, O Lord, from now on things will change. I will serve You whole-heartedly. No
more lukewarmness; no more one leg in, one leg out! I will serve You whole-heartedly. I will
win souls for You. I will tell people about You day and night! In my home I will tell them! In
my place of work I will tell them! In the bus I will tell them! Everywhere I go I will tell them. I
will tell them about You. Adultery, fornication Lord, it will never happen in my life again.

Father, I will never rob You again! Oh! No, no, no! I will never rob You again just have mercy
on me, Heave mercy on me!
Talk to the Lord! Talk to Him! Because many of us are suffering today unknowing that God is
angry. But if we repent..ooh..He is a very wonderful friend. But He is a dangerous enemy. So
please ask Him now and say: Lord! Have mercy on me. I will never offend You again! I will
never offend You again! I will never offend You again! Please, just have mercy on me. I know
that I am guilty and I know it is because You love me that You are chastising me. I promise
You O Lord, by Your special Grace, I wont annoy You ever again!
I wont annoy You ever again! Just have mercy on me this time. Give me another opportunity
and Father, You will find that I am a good child; that I am a good child. To the glory of Your
Name! Thank You Father! Blessed be Your Holy Name!
Have mercy O Lord! Have mercy on your children! You said that those who will confess their
sins and forsake them will obtain mercy. Have mercy, O Lord! Have mercy on all Your
children! You know we love You and we want to do Your will. We just ask for mercy. Thank You
for loving us. Thank You for even telling us that we are walking on dangerous grounds
because You are angry. We promise, we will serve You whole-heartedly. We will win souls for
You on a daily basis. We will tell the whole world if they refuse, that will be their own fault
but we will tell them By Your Grace, Lord, we will stay away from adultery, we will stay away
from fornication. You will help us. We will never rob You again. Have mercy tonight. Thank
You Father! In Jesus Mighty Name we have prayed!
Father, I stand before You today on behalf of these Your children. And I pray that as many of
them as are genuinely repentant You please forgive them! In Jesus Name! (Amen!)
Whatever theyve done contrary to Your will; as many of them that have made up their
minds that they will restitute their ways., forgive them In Jesus Name! Amen! Give us a new
beginning (Amen!) and we will glorify Your Name Amen! In Jesus Mighty Name we have
prayed! Amen! (Amen!) Praise the Lord! Alleluia! (Alleluia!)
Is that message for you? Are you sure? Well, if it is fir you shout Alleluia! (Alleluia!) Well,
finally now, Im not saying God said this one but we all know it. That everybody hates
someone who is ungrateful the elders have a saying; they aid, if you do good to someone
and he doesnt show gratitude it is like as if you had been robbed! God has been good to us
and we are going to show him that we have been grateful children so we a re going to have
our thanksgiving service now we will remain on our seat while the ushers come round to
help us because it helps the ushers to do their job easily and when they are finished we will
sing and dance for about five minutes and then we begin to go home.
Is there anyone here tonight who wants to say Thank You Jesus!? Let me hear you say Thank
You Jesus! Loud and clear!

Pastor E. A. Adeboye

THE HOLY SPIRIT IN THE LIFE OF PETER4th of

October, 1998

We are here again tonight. We thank you for what you did last
night that was wonderful Father. We are very, very grateful!
Tonight Father, surprise us again like never before! Surprise us
again! At the end of everything Lord, let us be able to glorify You.

Thank You Father! Thank You in advance for salvation! Thank You
for healings! Thank You for deliverance! Thank You for miracles!
Thank You for signs and wonders! Thank You Father! Glory be to
Your Name! In Jesus mighty Name! Amen!
Praise the Lord! Praise Jesus! Shake hands with one or two people and say: "Tonight, the One
who's name is Wonderful will perform wonders in your life! Amen! If you believe that shout
Alleluia! (Alleluia!) Go ahead! Give the Lord a big hand! Thank You Jesus! Glory be to God!
You may be seated, Glory be to You!

Let's read from Luke 5:4-9 Now when He had left speaking He said
unto Simon, Launch out into the deep and let down your nets for
a draught 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. And when they had this done, they
enclosed a great multitude of fishes and their net brake. 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." And now verses 8 and
9 that we will look at tonight: When Simon Peter saw it, he fell
down at Jesus' knees saying, depart from me; for I am a sinful
man, O Lord. For he was astonished, and all that were with him at
the draught of the fishes which they had taken."
Somebody's going to be astonished tonight!
You know how far we've gone with this story. Last month we
discussed the second boat it became clear to everyone of us
present that it is our turn to be blessed! Peter had caught so
much fish because Jesus Christ had said, "Let down the nets!" He
filled the first boat so he beckoned to the second boat to come
and help. The second boat came and was also filled to overflowing
and the two boats began to sink and the Bible now said "When
Peter saw it he fell down at the knees of Jesus." And I thought he
would have said Thank You Jesus!, from now on let us become
partners every morning come here to preach. My boat is
available. When you've finished preaching tell me where to throw
the nets. So let's sign a contract but instead he said, "Depart
from me oh Lord! for I am a sinful man!" I don't deserve this kind
of miracle. I know myself! If you don't know me! If you don't know
the fellow you are hooking up with it shouldn't be me! I am a
sinful man! I know it myself! So, go away, go, go look for
somebody holy!"

Someone is here tonight who is going to get an unexpected

miracle (Amen!) The Bible says because Peter was astonished he
didn't even know what he was talking anymore! There are some
miracles that happen in your life that you don't even know what
to say. When someone is happy, he's supposed to laugh; but
when joy becomes overwhelming you weep!
In Exodus 14 verse 13 Moses said to the children of Israel, He
said, "Just stand still and see the salvation of the Lord! that He
will show you today!" The beauty of that statement is the word
today'. If you will stand still and trust God, today, suddenly, for
the first time in your life, you will see something that you've never
seen before! Amen! (Amen!)
In Luke 1 verses 34 to 38 the Bible tells us that when the angel
came to Mary and told her she was going to conceive a baby boy,
Mary asked the angel, "Sorry, sir! I don't understand how this can
be I have no husband, I'm not yet married, so how am I going to
be pregnant without a man?" And then the angel went into big
theology. "Oh, the Holy Ghost shall overshadow you! The power of
the Almighty God will brood over you." By the time the angel
finished Mary was more confused than before. "I'm talking of a
man, you are talking of the power of the Most High!" When she
said, "Alright, I don't understand what you are saying but that
which you say should happen, let it happen." That's the kind of
simple faith God is expecting from you tonight..
I've said this before - whenever we are dealing with those who are
illiterates, its always easy for them to receive their miracles
because they've not studied science, they don't know philosophy,
they don't know sociology, ecology, they don't know all the Gs but
they know that there is Someone called Amen! (Amen!), Someone
whose power is beyond understanding, so when you tell them
God will do this for you, all they say is "glory to God!" But when
I'm dealing with my colleagues they know about electricity, they
know about positive pole and negative pole so when you lay
hands on them and you are praying they are thinking: "Now the
miracle that is going to happen is it going to enter by the right
hand and go out by the left? Which of the two hands has greater
anointing the right or the left?? Now when the power enters into
one, is it going to drive the sickness into the ground or .what is
going to happen?" While they are thinking that, the miracle comes

and goes! Tonight, I just want you to say, "Yes, Lord!!" (Yes, Lord!)
I don't know how its going to happen; I am just saying "Yes, Lord!"
Let me hear you shout Alleluia! (Alleluia!)
Faith is so important that somehow when you now look back at
this story of Peter you will see that if Peter had not cast his net,
he would not have seen the glory of God. If he had not
suppressed his doubts because he started by expressing his
doubts: "We have fished all night; we have caught nothing! I am
an expert fisherman! Sir, if you learnt any trade, it is carpentry! If
there's any fish in this river tonight I would have caught it!!" The
doubt was there, but he pushed it down. He said, "At thy word
because You have spoken! Because You have spoken to me! I will
do what You say."
Unbelief displeases God. It upsets Him. That's why we must run
away from unbelief. Hebrews 11 verse 6 says, "For without faith it
is impossible to please God." May you please God tonight in Jesus
Name! Amen! (Amen!) In fact when you read Hebrews 3 verses 18
and 19 God said to the children of Israel" This land is your
promised land. I've given it to you." But they refused to go in
because of unbelief! And the Bible said, God swore in His anger
"Because you refused to believe me I will not let you enter that
land!" Anything that can rob you of your miracle may God destroy
it tonight Amen! (Amen!)!
In Hebrews 4 verses 1 and 2 the Bible tells us that unbelief is
something we must fear. He said let us fear that some of us too
we may have some rest, some miracles that God has reserved for
us! Let us fear that unbelief will not rob us of it. Why is it that
unbelief is so displeasing to God? It is simply that God has more
than sufficient power like we learnt last month Daddy, you're
too much! But no matter how mighty His power your unbelief will
render that power useless!
Take Mark 3 verses 1-5. The Bible says, Jesus entered into a
synagogue and there was a man there with a withered hand. And
as soon as Jesus came in everybody was looking "heh, heh! we
know He's a miracle worker let us see whether He will perform a
miracle on the Sabbath day!" Then Jesus asked the man forward.
He said, "Stretch forth your hand!" He knew the hand was
withered if that man had refused to act in faith, if he had not
stretched forth his hand Jesus would have failed that day! "Stretch

forth your hand." He said.."Ah, ah! I can't stretch it it is

withered!" Everybody would have said:" Heh,heh! how God had
proved to us that on the Sabbath day this man is not supposed to
heal.." But when the Lord said, "Stretch forth your hand!" the man
didn't even wait for a second saying. He stretched forth his hand
and it was restored as the second one. Today God is going to
speak to someone. The moment you hear Him speak to you
grab it. Don't even think how it is going to happen just say! "Yes,
Lord!"
When You read Mark 2 from verse 1 to 12 when they brought that
paralytic man he was brought in by four men; they broke the
roof to bring him down; his friends had shown their faith it was
now the turn of the man who was down there and already there
was a controversy about him. Jesus had said, "Son, thy sins are
forgiven thee!""
Everybody was saying, "Who is this fellow now turning himself to
God! Who has power to forgive sins except God?" And then j said,
"All right, I give you a proof, a proof that the Son of Man can
forgive sins." He said, "Young man, rise up, take your bed, go
home!" What would have happened if that fellow says: "If I can
stand up why am I here? If you want me to stand up, let me feel
something like an electric shock! Something hot! Something vast!
Let me feel something!! Then I will begin to say, well, maybe I
should try."
Many of you are going to receive your miracles tonight let me
hear you shout Alleluia! (Alleluia!) The Lord said to this man,,
"Rise up and take your bed." He did not wait for any other saying.
Immediately he began to make an attempt to rise the power of
the Almighty God did the rest. That's why the Bible says
in Romans 14 verse 23, it said, "Whatever is not of faith is sin." In
other words you refuse to believe the Almighty God and to act
on what he says, you annoy Him so much that He regards it as a
sin. And how do we show that we have faith? James 2 verses 17
and 18, it says, "Faith without works is dead being alone"
Somebody says, " You say you have faith? All right show me your
faith by your works. I will show you that I have faith by my works."
I've told you the story before: I had severe fever, pain all over my
body, headache, everything so I couldn't go to church and it was
Digging Deep so I lay on my bed, serious temperature. "Well, all

right, since I can't go to church let me listen to a tape and I put

one pastors tape in I just took it by random from my tapes put
it in and then he started talking as if he saw me there lying on my
bed. He said, "By His stripes you were healed! And if you were
healed by His stripes what are you doing on the bed?" And it was
a tape! "If you are healed by His stripes and you believe that you
were healed by His stripes what are you doing lying down on the
bed of sickness?" I jumped up, dressed very quickly and went to
the church. Somebody else was already conducting the service.
They were expecting me but when they didn't see me somebody
started and then the Pastor who was conducting, because he
didn't prepare, said, "Well, brethren, today we're going to dance
for the God!" I was sitting at the back. He said, "Everybody stand
up and begin to dance!" And you know the man holding the
microphone is a powerful man. When he said, "Everybody stand!"
Whether I like it or not I have to stand! He said, "Begin to dance!
Begin to dance!" So I held on to the pew before me because my
body was still paining me like nobody's business. And they began
to beat the drum and everybody began to dance and you, if
everybody is dancing and you are not dancing, you know
everybody will be looking at you! So I was trying to smile and
move a little. Suddenly, I felt like going to the toilet, so I moved
very gently holding on to the pews, until I got to the toilet and as I
passed out it smelt terrible so I rushed out of the place and I
suddenly discovered - all the pains were gone and I've never
suffered another fever since that time! Tonight you are going to
put your faith to work it is your own testimony we are going to
hear tonight (Amen!)
Putting faith into action comes in various categories. Some of you
have heard me share this testimony before and I know that God is
asking me to share it because there is someone here tonight who
must have a financial breakthrough! Amen! (Amen!)
When I became General Overseer of the Redeemed Christian
Church of God the church was very rich! Our total income for one
month was about N6,000 and we had about 40 people on our
payroll and we had to pay them first before the General Overseer
can even think of anything. Then I was paid my gratuity because I
had worked for years in the University and it was a lot of money. I
looked at it. I said, Thank God, at least I will be taking from this till

things improve but suddenly it occurred to me"Ah, wait a

minute oh! I have to check from Daddy!" "Daddy, thank You for
this money, I'm going to pay my tithe you know but what do you
want me to do with the rest?Ah!" He said you know in a
situation like that He answers quickly He said, "Divide it into
three." "Yes, Lord." "Give one third to such and such a ministry."
"Yes, Lord. There is still two thirds." "Take the second one and give
it to such and such a ministry." The "Yes, Lord." Became lower.
"Take the remainder and give it to such and such a ministry." He
said, "I AM YOUR SOURCE! You're not going to depend on
gratuity!" How many of you believe that Jesus is your shepherd?
How many of you believe that you shall never want? I want you to
say loud and clear tonight: "Money shall never be my god!" Say it
loud and clear! Let me hear you say Amen! (Amen!)
Up to this moment many of us say we believe that God will
provide but we don't believe! In fact, when we are talking about
who is a Lord, whenever it goes to money, we know who is Lord!
You put your hand in your pocket Offering time! You want to
bring out five naira by accident you brought out fifty naira he
says to you "put me back!" and you say "Yes, lord!" Say it
again! "Money shall never be my god!"
Faith must be accompanied by works then the big question is
how does faith come? How do we get the faith that God is talking
about? Romans 10 verse 17 says, "So faith comes by hearing and
hearing by the word of God." You know I've read that passage
several times I've memorized it years ago but I didn't get the full
meaning of it until not long ago. He did not say faith comes by
reading. He did not even say faith comes by studying. He said
faith comes by what? Faith comes by what you hear! That is why
if you are attending a church where you are always hearing
negatives you need to pray! If your friends are those who say
"eh! We know that God can do anything but eh! We know that
God can do anything but.!" You need to change your friends
because if you don't live with those who are always saying, "With
God nothing shall be impossible" your faith, even if you have any,
will decrease! That's why we encourage testimony.
When I got born again, in the Redeemed Christian Church of God,
oh! The pastors will come, they will say: "Thank God! For the past
15 years I have not taken any tablets, I have not gone to any

hospital!" I will say, " That's why you're looking for somebody to
kill! Do I follow you to your house? You have shown me the way to
heaven don't let me get there too soon!" I'm telling you the
truth! That was the way it was with me then. But then one day
there was an old man in the church, about 80 something years old
and when II met him in the church he was always walking double
with a walking stick. But then one Sunday morning we saw him in
church walking straight no walking stick and they announced
that this man is going too give the testimony of his healing
tonight! I was the first one in the church that evening. I want to
hear from somebody who is not a pastor because the way some
of them have been giving their testimonies my scientific mind
said, "Don't mind them!".. "I had a headache last week, I
prayed. And it went!" "Well, I had a headache I prayed and it
didn't go!! So don't mind them!"
So I wanted to hear what this man had to say the old man said,
when he was younger he contracted venereal disease and they
couldn't cure him properly and so each time he tried to raise
himself up fire will be burning him so when he bends down the
pain will subside. He had been walking like that for years then
he went home somewhere in Yorubaland and as is custom he
would go from house to house witnessing. So he was going from
house to house talking about Jesus. Then the devil spoke to him:
"Old man! Go home! If this your Jesus is as powerful as you say
why has he not healed you?" And the old man said, a terrible
anger welled up within him "Devil! You're laughing at my God? If
I'm going to die today I will die but I'm not going to walk double
anymore!" He broke his walking stick, threw the thing away and
then he got up and began to walk home. And he said as he got
up, the fire began to burn. I say, "Ah! This man is telling the
truth!" He say, as he was going he was feeling dizzy and so he
said, he began to say to Jesus, "If I'm going to die just do me one
favour don't let me die in the street! Don't let the devil laugh at
you!" I said, "This man is telling the truth!" And so he kept on
going, feeling dizzy; the pain was burningHe said as he got to
the threshold of his house, the pain disappeared! Let somebody
shout Alleluia! (Alleluia!)
So Peter saw the glory of God and fell at the feet of Jesus. He saw
the glory of God and fell at His feet. Oh, we can go through the

scriptures and see all those who saw the glory of God and fell.
Many people don't know why when we're praying for some people
they seem to fall. It could be that God wants to perform an
operation on them but at times when someone is so thirsty for
anointing and you come in contact with a great man of God, full of
the power of God, as you soak in the anointing like a dry sponge
soaking in water, you sink! But if thee Almighty God suddenly
came into your room at 2 am in the night, I guarantee you,
whoever you are you will fall! Some of us know what I'm talking
about.
In Matthew 15 v 21-28, a woman came to Jesus and cried unto
him,- "Lord, help me! My daughter is grievously vexed by a devil!"
The Bible says Jesus did not even answer her a word. "Help me!!
Lord! Have mercy!" Jesus said, "I am not sent but unto the lost
sheep of the House of Israel." The woman said, "I know how to get
your attention!" She came. Fell at His feet, worshiped Him "Lord,
have mercy!" The Lord said, "I can't give the bread of the children
to dogs!" "I'm not asking for the bread of the children! I'm only
asking for a crumb! The Lord looked at her and said: "You will eat
bread!" Anyone who falls at his feet, by the time they get up they
will see the glory of God!
In Mark 5 verses 1-16, the Bible talks about a man, I've told you
about him before among mad men, he was a mad man. When
mad men saw him coming, they call him "Mad man!" and they
run! Because when you bind him with iron he will break the thing,
He was living among the dead, he was roaring in agony, day band
night!1 But one day he saw Jesus coming and he ran towards him
and fell at His feet and worshiped Him and that day 10,000
demons could not prevent that man from receiving his
deliverance. Somebody tonight is going to be delivered (Amen!)
because that someone is going to fall at the feet of Jesus and
when you rise from your feet you will see the glory of God
(Amen!) Thank You Father!
Let's take one more example of somebody who fell at his feet and
saw the glory of God. You'll find the story in Mark 5 from v 21-24
and then you can pick it up from verse 35 to the end. Mark 5:2124 is the story of Jairus he had only one daughter. Like I used to
say he was managing with that one because in the nation of Israel
they didn't count a girl to be somebody in those days if you

don't have a son you are not regarded as having any children. But
this man had a girl and he was managing with the girl and all of a
sudden death came and swallowed that girl! But this man was
wise he was a big man. A very big man but when he came to
Jesus he fell at His feet and worshiped him and before the day
was over death vomited the daughter! There is someone here
tonight everything that the devil has swallowed from your life
the devil is going to vomit (Amen!)
Now I have not finished the sermon. If God wants we will finish it
but right now I feel the presence of the Lord and I want us to go
on our knees right away and just cry to the Lord and say,
"Tonight! I want to see Your glory!" Go ahead, talk to the Almighty
God! My Lord and my Saviour! Tonight, I want to see Your glory
like I've never seen it before! I want to see Your glory! That's why
I'm on my knees Lord God Almighty! I'm falling at Your feet and
I'm asking my Lord and my Saviour! I want to see Your glory! I
want to see Your glory in my life. I want to see Your glory in my
home! I want to see Your glory in the ministry You have
committed into my care! I want to see Your glory in Nigeria! I want
to see Your glory Lord God Almighty! All over the world! I want to
see Your glory in Your church! I want to see Your glory tonight like
never before! I want to see Your glory! Help me! Show me Your
glory! Let me see Your glory in my finances! Let me see Your glory
in every sphere of my life! You are the Almighty there's nothing
you cannot do everything the devil has stolen from me Father,
through Your glorious power, let everything be restores, restores
7-fold! OH! Let Your children who are gathered here tonight see
Your glory! Everywhere in this auditorium, let Your glory come
down! Yes, Lord, show us Your glory!! We will praise You for it
forever! Thank You my Father! Blessed be Your Holy Name! Thank
You Jesus! Thank You! Thank You Lord! Thank You Almighty God!
Blessed be Your Holy Name! Lord! Thank You Father! Glory be to
God! Alleluia! Father! Thank You Lord! Thank You Lord! Thank You
Lord! Thank You Lord! Blessed be Your Holy Name! Thank You
Lord! In Jesus mighty Name we have prayed! Father! we are all on
our knees before You because without You we're nothing! We are
ordinary dust of the earth but with You O Lord we can become
glorious beings! Tonight, Father!, like never before, let us see Your
glory! (Amen!) By healing, by deliverance, by setting the captives

free let us see Your glory! (Amen!) Thank You my Lord! In Jesus'
mighty Name we have prayed! Thank You Father! Let somebody
shout Alleluia! (Alleluia!)
I believe that somebody has seen the glory of God already. You
may be seated let's continue.
Peter then said, "Depart from me, O Lord!!" Depart? How could
Peter say such a thing? At least he was a Jew and I'm sure while
he was growing up they read the scriptures to him.. So surely he
knew how dangerous it is for the Lord to depart from anyone. I
pray tonight that the Lord will never depart from you (Amen!)
Because when you read Judges 16 v 20-21 when Delilah said to
Samson after he shaved his head, "The Philistines be upon thee,
Samson!" Samson said, "I will go up and go out as before." The
Bible said, he didn't know that the Lord had departed from him.
But the Philistines took him and plucked out his eyes. When the
Lord departs from any man light becomes darkness. The Lord
will never depart from you (Amen!) When you read 1 Samuel 16
verse 14, the Bible says the Spirit of the Lord left Saul and an evil
spirit from the Lord came and troubled him. Whenever the Lord
departs from somebody demons will take over! Oh, I pray again
the Lord will never depart from you (Amen!) When we read Hosea
4 verse 17 and then you read Hosea 5 verse 9 you will see there
some of you have heard the story before, the story of a young
man called Ephraim. God blessed him, he prospered mightily, and
then he became arrogant and he refused to submit to the Lord
and he began to worship idols! Until God finally said, "Ephraim
has joined himself to idols. Leave him alone!" And then God said
in Hosea 5 verse 9, He said, "Ephraim shall be desolate!" When
the Lord departs from somebody prosperity is replaced by
desolation! Ah! God will never depart from you! And that brings
us to one important point
Why do you need just a child? After you have waited all this long,
why must it be just a child? I don't want just a child! I want a child
that will be a vessel unto honour in the house of the Almighty! I
mean if you say, "God if you are going to give me only one child
let that child be a child that will be used by You throughout the
whole world!" I can understand that. I've heard people pray, "God
give me a car, even if it's 3rd hand!!" Why don't you want a new
one? Why don't you want a big one? Oh, because everyone will be

looking at me! I'm afraid of thieves! Thieves will come if they

want to come whether you are in a 3rd hand car, whether you
have no car at all they don't want to know! People have been
robbed in public transport before is that correct? That is those
who don't have a car of their own. Whenever you're asking God
for something, ask for some thing good. Don't ask for just a
partner I've told you the story before that one of my sons told
he has many funny stories but this particular one has a lesson in
it. He said a sister said to God, "God give me any brother and I
will marry him. Anyone! Anyone!" And then some days later a
brother came and said, "Sister! How now? You are the one God is
talking to me about." And the sister looked at him and looked at
God and said, "Lord!, I said anyone' not anything'" If you ask for
anyone you will get anything!!
And there was a very special prayer that God also rejected
in Matthew 26 from verse 39 to 44. Thats where the l himself was
praying, "Lord!, if it is possible take this cup away from me!" God
the Father said, "If I take this cup away from You what will happen
to Adeboye? He will go to hell! No, You will drink the cup so that
Adeboye can come to heaven." Thank God that Father didn't
answer that prayer! He reserves the right to reject prayers and
every prayer that you have prayed that will not bring glory to God
may God cancel them in Jesus Name! (Amen!)
Now Peter said, "Depart from me." And the word depart' has an
opposite it is abide'. Tonight, I'm not going to say, "Lord!, depart
from me." I am going to say, "Lord!, abide with me." Because if
the Lord abides with you according to Romans 8:31, the Bible says
if God be for us, who can be against us. In Joshua 11 verse 5, the
Bible made it clear that if God is with you even if anybody stands
up against you that fellow will fall because God said to Joshua,
"No man will be able to withstand you all the days of your life,
because as I was with Moses, so shall I be with you," May the
Almighty God abide with you. (Amen!) And when God abides with
you, then if the Lord is with you, you know you can walk through
fire it won't burn you. In Isaiah 43 v 2 he said, when you are
walking through the fire it will not even kindle upon you, he said,
because I will be with you.
The Bible has some strong things to say about sin for example,
in Proverbs 13 verse 15, the Bible says, "The way of the

transgressor is hard." In Isaiah 48 verse 22, the Bible says, "There

is no peace to the wicked saith the Lord." InJeremiah 17 verse 11
he says, "As the partridge sits on an egg and hatches it not, so
will anyone who gets wealth but not by rightful means. It will
depart from him in the middle of his days and at the end he will
be a fool." In Proverbs 13 verse 22, the Bible says, "The wealth of
the wicked is laid up for the just!" In other words it said, let the
wicked begin to gather the wealth, one day he will die suddenly
and that wealth will come over to the righteous. In Ezekiel 18
verse 20, the Bible says, "The soul that sinneth, it shall die."
In Romans 6 verse 23, the Bible says, "The wages of sin is death."
In James 1 verse 15, the Bible says, "When sin is finished, it
bringeth forth death."
Everything God says about sin is terrible; therefore any wise
person will run from sin. Anyone who runs from sin will suddenly
discover that it pays to run from sin because in Isaiah 48 verses
18 and 19 the Almighty God said, "If you will listen to me and
begin to do what I ask you to do then your peace will be like a
river." In Deuteronomy 28 verses 1 and 2 he said, "If you will
hearken diligently to the voice of the Lord thy God to observe and
to do all the things that I command you this day," He said, "Then
this blessing shall follow you and overtake you (Amen!) InExodus
15 verse 26 He said, "If you hearken diligently to the voice of the
Lord thy God to observe and too do all the things that I command
you this day," He said, "I will bring none of the diseases that I
have brought upon the Egyptian upon you." He said, "because I
am the Lord that healeth you."
Now the rest of us those of us who are already sure that we are
born again; that we are already washed in the blood; by the grace
of God we are already living holy I want you to begin to pray for
these people who are already coming. Say, "Lord. as you saved
my soul, save their souls also!" Begin to pray them! And those of
you who want to give your life to j, come from all over the place. I
will wait for only 2 minutes and then I will pray. and as you
come, begin to cry to Jesus : "Save my soul! Forgive my sins!
Have mercy on me O Lord!! I come to You tonight O Lord! I don't
want my sins to separate between me and You! Your word says
you receive sinners. I've come to You! Save my soul! Receive me

O Lord! Have mercy on me! Become my Lord! Become my

Savior!" Call on Him as you come!
And come from all over the place! Jesus is calling you! He's ready
to receive sinners! He's ready to make you a brand new creature.
Come to Him now! The Lord is calling you! Come on now! The
Lord is calling you! Come from all over the place! Hurry up now!
You have only one minute left! Hurry up! The Lord is calling you.
This is the day of salvation and brethren, let us begin to pray for
these people that the Almighty God will save their souls; that He
will be merciful unto them. Let's call on the Almighty God to wash
away their sins and write their names in the Book of Life! Let's
pray for them, brethren, let's pray for them. Come, those who
want to give their lives to Jesus. The Lord is calling you come
and surrender your life! The gates of mercy are still open! The
Lord is saying, "Come unto me all ye that labour and are heavy
laden and I will give you rest" Come to Him now! The Lord will be
merciful unto you! Pray and ask God to wash you in His Blood!
Pray from the bottom of your heart!! Pray the Lord is calling you
now. Say," Lord, have mercy on me Lord have mercy on me,
Save my soul! Save my soul! Forgive my sins. Please Lord forgive
my sins! Have mercy on me O Lord!! I come before You, I'm crying
to You Lord for salvation! Save my soul! O Lord! Save my soul!
Have mercy on me! My Father and my God!" keep coming! Keep
coming! Those of you who are still coming Hurry up! This is the
day of salvation! Pray! Open your mouth! Call on the Almighty
God Ask Him to save your soul. Ask Him to wash you from your
sins. Sin is a dangerous thing. Ask the Lord to forgive you. Ask
Him to wash you in His Blood.
Now Father, You said, "Whosoever will come unto me I will in no
wise cast out." These people have come now. Receive them in
Jesus Name! (Amen!) Whatever may be their former sins forgive
them in Jesus' Name! (Amen!) Wash them in Your Blood in Jesus'
Name! (Amen!) Write their names in the Book of Life in Jesus'
Name! (Amen!) Let them become brand new creatures in You in
Jesus' Name! (Amen!) and from tonight onwards let them be true
children of God (Amen!) Thank You my Father! Thank You Lord!
Every miracle you are going to perform tonight give them their
own in Jesus' Name! (Amen!) In Jesus Name we have prayed!
Amen! (Amen!) Praise the Lord! Alleluia! (Alleluia!)

Lord abide with me! Don't leave me alone! I can't carry my

burdens alone I can't even go on this journey alone! Abide with
me! O Lord! Abide with me! Let's talk to the Lord! Abide with me!
Help of the helpless abide with me! Oh! Yes, Lord abide with me!
Father! we cry to You tonight, everyone of us as one! Father!
abide with us! (Amen!) For the rest of our lives abide with us!
(Amen!) Anywhere we go abide with us that Your Name might be
glorified in Jesus' mighty Name we have prayed Amen! (Amen!)
Praise the Lord! Alleluia! Praise Jesus!
One more prayer for Nigeria and I want you to pray this prayer
with all your might just say, "Father!, any enemies of Nigeria,
within and without, uproot them!!! " Go ahead! Talk to the
Almighty God! "Any enemy of Nigeria within or without, uproot
them O Lord! Any enemy of Nigeria within or without, uproot them
to the glory of Your Holy Name My Father and my God! Any enemy
of Nigeria that may remain within or without uproot them Lord!
that Your Name might be glorified! In Jesus' mighty Name we have
prayed!" (Amen!)
Father! we Thank You for Nigeria. Thank You because it is time for
our healings; the time for deliverance of Nigeria has come Glory
be to Your Holy Name! Thank You for the good works that You
have started to do in Nigeria! Complete the work quickly in Jesus'
Name! And every plant that You did not plant in this nation,
uproot in Jesus' Name! (Amen!) Every enemy of Nigeria, within or
without, uproot them in Jesus' Name! (Amen!) The lost glories of
Nigeria, restore in Jesus' Name! (Amen!) Bless our President
(Amen!) Help him O Lord!(Amen!) and glorify Your Name in Jesus'
mighty Name we have prayed! Amen! (Amen!) Praise the Lord!
In Matthew 13 verse 54, the Bible said, "Because of His mighty
works and wisdom the people were astonished." InMatthew 15
verse 29-31 the Lord says He made the dumb to speak and I hope
thee dumb here are hearing me tonight because when the word
comes you better jump and claim our own! He made the dumb to
speak, He made the maimed whole.. he made the lame to walk.
He made the blind to see and He caused the people to be
astonished. In Mark 2 verses 1-12 when Jesus raised up that man
who was brought in by four people. The people were astonished.
When He went to Jarius' house in Mark 5 verse 35-42, when Jesus
got to Jarius' house and raised up a girl that was already dead,

there was an astonishment. In Mark 1 from verse 23 to 27, the

Bible said, "He cast out demons with authority." He could speak
and say, "Demons get out!" and that is the end of the matter and
the people around will be astonished. In Mark 4 from verses 3541 after Jesus spoke a sentence and the storm was stilled, the
Bible said, the disciples came to Him and said: "What manner of
man is this that even the winds and the sea obey Him?"
But you see, if we are talking about our Jesus, people will say,
"What do you expect them to say, they are His followers!" That is
why I like to hear the testimony of idol worshippers concerning
Jesus. Let us turn to the testimony of Nebuchadnezzar he wasn't
a Jew, he wasn't related to Jesus Christ in any way but hear his
testimony in Daniel 4 verses 1-3. I will just read verse 3 because
of time: He said, "How great are his signs and how mighty are his
wonders, his kingdom is an everlasting kingdom and his dominion
is from generation to generation!" Oh, some years later one of his
successors in Daniel 6 verses 26 and 27 also gave a testimony
concerning our God. Let's just read verse 27 there it said, "He
delivereth and restoreth and worketh signs and wonders in
heaven and earth." He's a wonder-working God! And He's going to
perform wonders in some peoples life tonight. He has done
several wonders in my life and I believe it is your turn! I say, I
believe it is your turn! (Amen!) I've told you this one before: one
of my sons came, I mean, one of my sons in the ministry and he
was telling me all the good things that God has done in his life
and I kept on saying "Glory to God!" Alleluia! Praise God" After
some time he stopped. He said, "Ah!, Daddy, I'm the only one
talking about what God has done! You have not said anything!" I
looked at him and smiled and said, "If I tell you what God is doing
for me you will say God is partial. That's why I keep my mouth
shut!" There is somebody here tonight because of what God will
begin to do in your life from morning to evening will not be
enough to share your testimony! (Amen!)
Now, not only can He perform wonders for you He can perform
wonders through you! He can turn you to a channel of blessing.
When you read Acts 6 verse 8, the Bible tells us how God took
Stephen, ordinary Stephen he was full of the Holy Ghost and of
faith and the Almighty God said "God performed wonders
through him." And as the preacher who preached the first tonight

said, "It does not mean you have to be a G.O before God can use
you!" The Almighty God is going to begin to use somebody here
from tonight onwards! (Amen!) You see the work that God wants
to do in the world, no one man can do it. Many of you don't know
the reason why you are coming to the Holy Ghost Service. Some
of you are not sick! I mean, God had healed you 5, 6 years ago
and yet you can't miss the Holy Ghost Service. You just keep
coming! Even when there is fuel shortage you will come! There
was one young man who trekked all the way from Lagos to the
Holy Ghost Camp! And you don't know why you are doing it! I
have news for you! Faith cometh by hearing!
The God who did that for Peter can do the same thing for you!
(Amen!) How do I know? How do I know that God wants to turn
you to a wonder-producing person? You see when a woman has a
baby, the baby loves milk and the mother has plenty of milk. In
those days when we were rearing children, I noticed that at times
the breast will be so full of milk that the mother will say, "Baby,
please take a little!" The Almighty God's breasts are so full of milk
and He's saying, "Adeboye, take a little! Take a little more Take a
little more!" The All-Sufficient One is saying, "Please you people,
hurry up! I want to turn you to wonder-producing people!
" I travelled recently and I got to Gibraltar and we were having a
nice time looking at the Rock of Gibraltar etcetera; suddenly I saw
something that destroyed my joy there was a mosque built
there with 10 million pounds!!! Few people are using it 10
million pounds. One person built it one person! I said, "Lord,
what is this? And the answer I got was "You people are too slow!
Particularly you Nigerians." Some of you are even afraid to
prosper! "O God prospers me!" All you are asking for is one million
because if it is more than that you will go and marry a second
wife!! You don't have a vision for taking the whole world for Jesus
Christ! "God! Anoint me!" All you are asking for is "Let me be able
to heal somebody with fever!" If we're going to take the whole
world for Jesus we need extraordinary anointing and God is more
than willing! He keeps on saying, "Who will I send? Who will go
for me???" So that if you can go, signs will follow. I'm going to ask
you a question tonight. Be careful how you answer! Are you a
candidate for signs and wonders? I'm not just talking about you
receiving miracles from God now; I'm talking about the Almighty

God using you to perform signs and wonders! Is there a candidate

here tonight for signs and wonders?
Then stand on your feet and raise your two hands to the Almighty
God! Tell Him, "Lord, I am ready, I am willing, I want to be a
candidate for signs and wonders! I am ready O Lord!! Anoint me
my Father and my God!! Make me a candidate for signs and
wonders! Make me a candidate for signs and wonders! Lord, make
me a candidate for signs and wonders! Beginning from today my
Lord and my God! I am here O Glory be to God! Lord Thank You
Saviour! Alleluia! Father! Blessed be Your Name! Make me a
candidate for signs and wonders, a candidate for signs and
wonders for the rest of my life! Empower me like never before! In
Jesus' mighty Name we have prayed!
I want you to talk to the Almighty God and say, "Father! fill me to
overflowing with your power! Father! fill me to overflowing with
your power! Father! fill me to overflowing with your power!
Father! fill me to overflowing with your power! Anointing power!
Anointing power! Anointing power! Anointing power! Anointing
power! Anointing power!" In Jesus' mighty Name we have prayed!
Show the world that you are alive in Jesus' Name! (Amen!) Your
Word says with God nothing shall be impossible (Amen!) and Your
Word says for those who believe all things are possible! These
people came tonight because they believe therefore Father, that
which the doctor says are impossible, all those things that the
doctor says are impossible in the lives of these your children my
Father and my God! make possible now in Jesus' Name! (Amen!).
Thank You Father! Thank You because I know it is done. Glory be
to Your Name! Amen! (Amen!)
That last prayer is this Father!, we are in the last quarter of the
year. My Lord and my Savior every promise that you had had for
me this year fulfill them now! Begin to pray! We are in the last
quarter of this year O Lord!! All the promises you had made for
me this year Father, begin to bring them to pass! Begin to bring
them to pass! This is the last quarter O Lord!! O Lord! every
promise that You had made concerning this year, O Lord! and
even promises that I've heard from before now, bring them to
pass! bring them to pass! bring them to pass Lord! Before this
year runs out let my restoration be full that Your Name might be
glorified! O Thank You Father!! Thank You Lord! Every promise

that You made my Lord and my Savior! concerning me,

concerning Your church, concerning this nation, concerning all
Your children here, concerning my family Lord bring them to pass!
We are in the last quarter O Lord! The year is running to an end!
Glorify Your Name O Lord! and we will praise you for it. Thank You
Jesus! Blessed be Your Holy Name! Lord Thank You my Lord and
my Savior! In Jesus' mighty Name we have prayed!
Glory be to Your Holy Name! Glory be to Your Holy Name! We pray
in Jesus' mighty Name! Amen! (Amen!) Let's give the Lord a big
hand! Thank You Father! Glory be to You! You may be seated!

There is a song which we used to sing when we were younger
Christians. I don't know if you know it. It says, "Greater is he that
is in me than he that is in the world." How many of you know the
song? A few of the old ones "Greater is he that is in me, Greater is
He that is in me, Greater is He that is in me Than he that is in the
world."
What is the meaning of "Fear not!"? Or what are the implications
of "Fear not!"? The first thing we notice when you say "Fear not!"
to someone is that maybe there's nothing to fear actually. I mean,
if you think there is something to fear and there is somebody who
knows there is nothing to fear, he will say to you "Fear not!".
For example, in Luke 1, if you read it from verse 26-33 when an
angel appeared to Mary, automatically she was frightened, But
the angel said unto Mary "Fear not!" because thou hast found
favor with God." I pray that somebody would receive a message
of joy today (Amen!) She was afraid but God had brought her
good news.
In Luke 2 v 8-14 the Bible tells us that when an angel appeared to
the shepherds at the field, glory shone around. The Bible says the
shepherds were "sore afraid". But the angel said unto them, "No.
no. There's no need to fear! I'm bringing you good news of great
joy!" May God send you good news of great joy today! (Amen!)
And in Matthew 14 v 22 - 27 the Bible tells us that Jesus told His
disciples to go to the other side of the lake and He said, "I will join
you later!" Then He went to the mountain to pray. While He was
there praying He forgot about time and so night fell, by the time
He remembered - "Oh, I told my disciples I would join them!" He
came to the shore and found all boats had gone. But you see,
once He promised, He had to fulfill His promise, so He began to
walk on the water towards them.
Now, in the meantime, there was a storm at sea and they were
struggling with their boats and suddenly they saw somebody
walking on water. Now there was that tradition among sailors

that just before a sailor would die, he would see a ghost. So when
they saw Jesus walking on water they thought the end had come
"Ahh! Now the ghost has come to take us home!" But Jesus spoke
to them and said, "It is I, be not afraid!"
See when in the Book of Isaiah 43 v 2, when the Lord said when
you are passing through the fire, I will be with you so that the fire
will not kindle upon you. Normally, anybody walking through the
fire will know that that is a frightening experience but if the Lord
is with you, the fire will be taken care of. So even if you are
passing through fire now God is saying to you "Fear not!"
In 2 Chronicles 20, if you read the entire story there, you will find
a certain King called Jehoshaphat and three other kings came
against him, with mighty armies and they said, "Let's go and
swallow him up!" And by the time Jehoshaphat heard about these
kings, they were already at his backyard. Then somebody came
and told him, "Ah! The enemies have arrived!" The Bible said,
Jehoshaphat was sore afraid. But he did something that you are
going to do tonight he cried unto the Lord "Lord! I have
nothing to fight with!" And the Lord answered. ..He will answer
you tonight (Amen!) He said, "Don't be afraid. You won't fight this
battle. I will do the fighting!" Somebody's going home victorious
(Amen!)
"Fear not!" could therefore be Don't carry a burden that is not
your own." There are certain burdens that are too big for you to
carry so hand the burden over to the burden carrier
In Joshua 1 v 5 - 9 the Lord called on Joshua and said, "Joshua,
Moses my servant is dead. Now you take over! Where Moses
failed you will succeed." And Joshua said, "What kind of joke is
this? Moses, great man of God, who saw God face to face; saw the
fire burning the bush, spent days with God, failed to take these
people to the Promised Land and I, his ordinary messenger should
come and take over these people?" He said, "No, God, you can't
mean it!" But the Lord said, "Don't worry, you are not the one who
will fight the battle! The burden is not yours. As I was with Moses,
I will be with you - no man will be able to stand before you all the
days of your life" I believe God is talking to someone here tonight.
If you are the one let me hear you say Amen! (Amen!)
I've told you the story before. 1981. I wasn't 40 years old then
and I'd been General Overseer for just a few months. One day I

looked at myself in the mirror and I saw gray hair all over my
head! "Ha! Lord! How? I'm still a young boy! " But then we had
some problems then and the Lord said to me, "It's because you
are carrying a burden that is not your own."
"Which burden? It's the burden of the church." He said, "Who's
church is it?" What's the name of the church?" I said, "Redeemed
Christian Church of God." He said, "Repeat it again." I said it 3
times. He said, "Is it the church of Adeboye? "I said, "No." He said,
"Who told you I can't take care of my own? You are carrying a
burden that is not yours." "Well Lord if that is the case why do you
make me the General Overseer?" He said "I just want to make you
a front so that people will see somebody. I am the owner of my
church and I will take care of my church." I said, "Glory be to
God!" and I relaxed and the hair became black again I saw one or
two gray ones some days ago. "Ha! Lord! Am I worrying again?"
He said, "No. You are 56 years old!" Let somebody shout Alleluia!
(Alleluia!) Tell the fellow next to you -"Fear not!" God can take
care of His own!
In Numbers 16 v 1 - 35 three men, Korah, Dathan and Abiram "Who made you judge over us? Are you the only one who hears
from God? You have turned the church to a family business! I
mean, you are the prophet, Aaron, your brother is the priest,
Miriam your sister is the choir mistress! So the whole nation now
belongs to Moses family! We will not accept that!" Moses said, "I
didn't call myself! I was busy looking after sheep and then God
called me." " Ah, we don't want to hear! We too, we too, we want
to be leaders!"
Moses turned to God and said, "God, what shall we do, they are
about to stone me?" The Lord said, "Moses, just stand aside, just
leave me and these people alone. Just tell the children of Israel,
all those who are supporting the rebels, let them go to their side.
Those who are on the side of the Lord just come aside. Moses,
don't carry a burden that is not yours.. I will show these people
that I know how to fight on land. That even as I know how to fight
at sea, I can do some little fighting on land!" By the time God
finished, the ground opened its mouth and swallowed the rebels!
All those things that say you will not reach your goal; the ground
will swallow them today. (Amen!)

In Isaiah 41 v 10 - 14, the Lord said, "Don't be afraid!" He said,

"Because I will help you; those people who are incensed against
you, you will look for them you won't even find them!" So "Fear
not!" means - Don't carry a burden that is not your own which is
another way of saying, "Don't waste the time you could have used
to enjoy yourself. Don't waste it on unnecessary fears. When the
Almighty God is on your side it doesn't matter the problems that
may be facing you - testimonies will be the result. (Amen!)
Why? Weeping may endure for a night; joy is coming tomorrow
morning (Amen!) so why must I waste tonight when there is joy
coming tomorrow? Tell the fellow next to you: "By the time the
sun rises tomorrow, you will be full of joy!" If you believe that
shout: Alleluia!
Now let us back up just a little. Before we come to even "Fear
not!" we have "And Jesus said.."Who said? Jesus! You see, who
speaks is important because the weight of his statement is
determined by who is the one making the statement.
If somebody who is a policeman says to you when they are
leading you to court for trial: "Don't worry! By the time we finish
today you'll be on your way home!" He's not the judge. He's an
ordinary policeman. When you get there and the judge says,
"Guilty! 6 months imprisonment!" You can look at the policeman
"But you said...!" He will say, "Eheh! "So what?" Or if the judge
says, "Guilty! Six months imprisonment!" and the court clerk
says, "Don't mind him, you can go home!" There will be two
people who will go to prison. So who speaks is important.
I think I've shared this one before. I went home some years ago some months before Xmas around this time and saw some
children playing outside and one of them came to me. "Daddy, I
need a pair of shoes for Christmas." So I said, "Which color do you
want? Black or brown?" He told me. So I said, "Okay, I'll buy it for
you." So he ran out to those who were playing. "I have shoes for
Christmas." So they asked him: "How do you know?" Ehe! Lagos
Daddy said so!" And then another one said, "I too have shoes for
Christmas!" So they asked him, "How do you know?" He said, "My
Daddy said so!" They looked at him and they said, "That is joking
shoes! Your Daddy said so? Ehe! That is joking shoes!" They knew
that when Lagos Daddy says you will get a pair of shoes, it is a
settled matter.

There is somebody here tonight who is trusting the Almighty God

and He says, "Fear not!"
Second, He's also the Creator of all of us here, according to John
1v1-3. He's the Creator of all because it said, "By Him were all
things made'. So the One who is saying "Fear not!" is the One who
created you. And believe me honestly, He has your spare parts!
And then according to Genesis 14 v 18 - 19, the One who is
saying "Fear not!" tonight is in possession of Heaven and Earth. In
other words He is someone who is rich beyond description. The
One who is saying "Fear not!" tonight, according to Psalm 24 v 7
-10 is the LORD, the LORD, strong and mighty, the LORD, mighty
in battle, the LORD who has never lost a battle, the LORD who will
never lose a battle. So that's the One who is saying "Fear not!"
Glory be to God! Yes, go ahead, you can give Him a big hand - He
deserves it! He deserves it! Thank You Jesus!
I remember very well, some years ago, a woman came running,
shaking badly, the daughter was pregnant and the enemies came
to tell her, "Your daughter is pregnant? We will see where she will
deliver - whether on the ground or in the air - we will see!" The
woman was frightened and I said to her, "Fear not! Fear not! Your
daughter will deliver safely!" She said, "How do you know?" I said,
"Because the Lord of Hosts will fight for you!" There is someone
who has never lost a battle. He's going to deal with your enemies
here tonight!
The One who said "Fear not!" is the One who the Bible calls the
Almighty. According to Genesis 17 v 1 the Bible calls Him the
Almighty, the One who could not possibly fail, the One that we
call the All-Sufficient One! The One who said "Fear not!" is the
One whose name is the prince of Peace according to Isaiah 9
verse 6 - the One with the ability to still any storm.
The One who said "Fear not!" is the One whose Name is Alpha and
Omega, the beginning and the end, the One who is, the One who
was, the One who is to come; the One who can take care of your
present, your past and your future, the One who is the Controller
of tomorrow.
The One who said "Fear not!" is the One who according to John 11
v 25 is the One who is the resurrection and the Life; the One who
swallowed up death in victory. He is the One who saw death and
said; "I know what I will do to you. I will just swallow you!"

The One who said "Fear not!" is the One who is so powerful that
whenever He wanted to raise somebody from the dead He never
mentioned the word 'death'. All He will say is: "Little girl, I say
unto you, "Arise", "Young man, I say unto you arise." "Lazarus,
come forth!" We are talking about someone so powerful that He
regarded death as so inferior that He never once said "Death
loose my friend!" So when He says "Fear not!" He has the
authority to say "Fear not!"
And you know that the One who said Fear not sickness is the
original surgeon. He's the One who performed the original
operation in Genesis 2 v 21 - 23. When God wanted to create
woman He caused Adam to sleep. God is the first anesthetics
specialist. This fellow just fell asleep. The Bible says a deep sleep
fell on him and then the Lord performed the operation, removed
the bone, closed the place up again and before He woke him up
He had finished all He wanted to do. And when the man woke
there was not a single drop of blood that dropped to the ground!
Not a scar! Not a little scar where my Father has performed the
operation! You see, when we talk about God giving you a miracle
and you are thinking, 'How will He do it?' Just go to sleep - by the
time you wake up my Daddy would have finished the job! Let
somebody shout Alleluia! (Alleluia!)
We were in Haiti, I'm sure many of you don't know where Haiti is.
It's a very long journey - away from here. When you get to New
York, you take a plane and fly for 31/2 hours; then you get to
Haiti. But why do you have to go to Haiti? Because we have a
church there. Church in Haiti? The Bible says we are to cover the
whole world.
Anyway we went to Haiti for a crusade and we will tell you more
about that later, but there was this particular night during the
crusade as we were praying God spoke and said; "There is a man
who is impotent." God said He's going to take care of the
situation. And the crusade was transmitted on radio and there
was a man lying on his bed listening to radio - "Ah! That's my
problem! Could it be that God wants to be merciful to me today?"
So he began to pray like others were praying. By the time we
finished the prayer he checked himself and found that God had
performed a miracle. He jumped up from his bed and began to
run toward the crusade ground. By the time he got there we had

closed, so he began to ask, "I want to see the Pastor, the Pastor
who preached. I want to see the Pastor!" Somehow they brought
him in around 11pm just as we were about to eat and he came
and said, "This is what happened to me: I was lying on my bed
and God brought a miracle to me! Pastor what power are you
using?" I said, "It is the power of God!" He said, "I want to serve
that God! I want to serve that God!" Glory be to God for ever
more! He sent His word and did what?" Is the Word of God
touching anyone here tonight at all? Let me hear you shout
Alleluia! (Alleluia!)
After we prayed for him and handed him over to the Pastor I made
up my own mind too. "God! You who can take a miracle to
somebody on his bed, I too will serve you!" Is there anybody here
who is going to serve my God? Say it loud and clear! "I too will
serve You!"
Now He says "Fear not sickness because I will be your physician!
Fear not poverty because I will supply all your needs according to.
For my God shall supply ALL your needs according to His riches in
glory by Christ Jesus. He said, "Don't fear poverty. The moment
you become my sheep and I become your shepherd then
according to Psalm 23 v 1,the Lord is my shepherd, I shall not
want." The moment He becomes your shepherd you won't want
anymore. As a matter of fact, according to Psalm 23 v 5, when the
Almighty God decides to fill your cup He will not stop when the
cup is full. He said, "My cup runneth over... Like I told you some
months ago - "And this is the God who owns the whole earth and
the fullness thereof. He's the owner of the silver and the owner of
the gold so when He says "Fear not poverty!" He has the authority
to say so.
"Fear not!" Fear not what? Fear not sickness, Fear not poverty,
Fear not enemies! Ah! Because the moment you surrender your
life to Him, your enemies become HIS enemies. The day He
knocked down Saul of Tarsus and He said, "Why are you
persecuting me?" Saul said, "I've not even seen You, how can I
persecute You?" Well anybody who's persecuting Adeboye is
persecuting Jesus and I can tell you Jesus knows how to deal with
His enemies! Don't fear enemies because He says in His Word
in Isaiah 59 v19, He said, "When the enemies come in like a flood,
the Spirit of the Lord will raise up a standard against them!" And

He said - "No weapon that is fashioned against you shall prosper."

And He says, "Do you know, I am not just the LORD, strong and
mighty, I'm not just the LORD, mighty in battle, I am the LORD of
Hosts, the Commander-in-Chief of the Hosts of Heaven. There is
nobody strong enough to face Me!"
I'm sure you remember the story of Brother Sam. He was a young
man, just born again, full of zeal, the mother was a leader of a
secret society and the house was full of all kinds of idols. So
Samuel got there and gathered all the idols and burnt them and
when the mother came and found that all the idols were gone she
reported to the secret society and they said, "Don't worry - we will
kill the boy. On this particular night don't stay at home. By the
time you return home you will meet him dead." So that night
Samuel closed all the doors and knelt down to pray. It was around
12 midnight as he knelt down to pray. Suddenly, a huge dog, very
huge dog, covered from head to toe with charms came straight
through the door that was locked and was running straight at
Brother Sam. There was no time to say, "Our Father which art in
heaven." There was no time to say, "Hallowed be Thy name." but
there was enough time to shout one name (Jesus!)
Let me hear you shout that name again! (Jesus!) So Brother Sam
shouted "Jesus!" I'm sure that if you see a dog like that coming at
you, you will forget that you are a gentleman. You will not
whisper! You will shout! Brother Sam shouted "Jesus!" and the dog
dropped down dead - right there on the spot! So that when the
mother returned, ready to bury her son, she met the son burying
the dog! Every force that is ganged up against you - one word will
take care of all of them! (Amen!) Let me hear you shout that
name! (Jesus!)
After all He said, "Greater is he that is in you than he that is in the
world." "Fear not!" He said. Fear not sickness, Fear not poverty,
Fear not enemies, Fear not failure! Why: because I will supply the
strength for you to succeed. Because in Philippians 4v13 - Peter
said I can do - how many things? All things! "I can do all things
through Christ which strengthened me.
" The Bible says in Isaiah 40 v 28 - 31 that if you will just wait on
Him He gives strength to the faint, those who have no abilities at
all He will multiply to them strength and then He will give you
wings like eagles to fly over your mountains. And so the Bible

says in Jeremiah 32 v 16- 17, He says, "I am the God of all flesh is
there anything too hard for me?" No! The Bible tells us in Genesis
17 v 1 that He is the All-Sufficient One. So He says "Fear not!" The
moment the two of us become partners, because nothing shall be
impossible for Me, the Almighty, there will be nothing impossible
for you my partner. There's a song we sing. I hope we will always
pay attention to some of these songs. He says, "I put my hands in
your hands Oh Lord, I put my hands in your hands Oh Lord, I will
not fail for Jesus never fails." When you put your hands in His
hands, you can't fail because He will not fail.
Fear not sickness because He will be your doctor. Fear not poverty
because He will supply all your needs. Fear not enemies because
He's the Commander-in-Chief of the Host of Heaven and He has
never lost a battle. Fear not failure because the moment you put
your hands in His hands there will be no failure for you and Fear
not storms. Why?
Because He's the One with the ability to still storms. The Bible
tells us in Mark 4 v 35-41 that Jesus was with His disciples in a
boat and there arose a storm, very high storm, so terrible that the
boat was full of water and when the disciples now woke Him up,
because, oh! The Lord was sleeping all the time, He spoke just
one sentence - "Peace, be still!" Suddenly everything became
calm and the disciples came to Him, frightened, and said, "What
manner of man is this, that the wind and sea obey him?"
I told those who were at the Headquarters something last Sunday.
Some years ago I was in a ship and there was a very terrible
storm, very, very terrible storm, so terrible that the Captains of
the ship called all of us together and they said, "Don't worry!" The
fellow saying 'Don't worry' himself is worried! He said, "Storms are
graded from 1-12, Grade 1 is the very small one, Grade 12 is the
most terrible and the one we're in is Grade 9 and he said, "Don't
worry!" When I got back to my room I said, "Lord, what am I going
to do? I mean, here's a storm Grade 9, Grade 9 storm!" And the
Lord answered. He will answer you tonight! (Amen!) He said,
"Son, when there was a storm, what did I do?" I said, "You slept"
And He said, "You go to sleep!" And I climbed on my bed and

slept. When I woke up the storm was over! Glory be to God for
ever more!
I told the story to a friend of mine some time ago. He said, "You
must be a man of faith!" I said, "Man of faith?" What else could I
do? I can't jump out of the ship! And I was blessed to have the
advantage of even hearing from Him. Those of you, who are going
through any storm right now, go to sleep! By the time you wake
up the storm will be over (Amen!) Who says so? The One whose
name is Prince of Peace. There will be peace for every one of you
in Jesus Name!
Don't fear storms because He will put them to sleep. Don't fear
tomorrow...oh! There are many of us who are afraid of tomorrow
particularly those of us who are already getting old. "What's going
to happen when I can't move around like I used to do anymore?
With all those children now scattered all over the world? With the
naira that was able to buy a lot ten years ago and can't buy
anything now?" Don't fear tomorrow! Why?
Because the One who controls tomorrow says in Isaiah 3 v
10, "Say ye to the righteous, it shall be well with him. " I ask you
to say it again and again! "My tomorrow will be all right." (My
tomorrow will be all right!) Say it loud and clear! Say it as if you
mean it!
I've told you before, years ago, I was a graduate, my wife too had
read a little, our salary then was big but the mouths that were
consuming the salary were too many so in those days when we
cook our food, our meat was 'raincoat', you know 'raincoat'? That
is the hide of a cow! And my wife and I we used to struggle
among ourselves - "Ah! This one is too thick! You can't eat it
alone! Let's cut it into two! Let's cut it into two!" We were eating
our 'pomo' with joy because we kept on saying, "This is not how
its going to continue. Tomorrow, my tomorrow is going to be all
right!" Say it loud and clear! I know I am not going to die in
poverty - no, no, no, I'm not going to die defeated! My tomorrow
will be all right! And the Almighty God said, "If you don't believe,
ask David." David will tell you that God never forsakes His own.
Because He said in Psalm 37 v 25, David said, "I was young, now I
am old; I have never seen the righteous forsaken, nor his seed
begging bread." There is somebody here tonight God is never

going to forsake you (Amen!) Your children will never beg for
bread!
And then He says "Fear not!" - don't even fear death. Why?
Because He has already removed the sting from death. Oh! Once
upon a time death was a terror - it was a terror to many of us
because we know that if we died we knew where we were going,
but thank God we met Jesus. Those of us who were going to Hell
now are on our way to Heaven! I knew where I was going eh! if
the Lord had not intervened. In fact we used to joke about it in the
University - myself and my colleagues - as we're drinking our beer
at Staff Club and after we have joked about Jesus for some time
and some people will say, "Ah! You people, Jesus will be angry! He
will throw you to hell!! And we would say in those days, "Where
else can we go? That's where all our friends will be! When I get
there I will see you and shake hands with you..eh! eh! You old
rascal - you made it!" Of course we didn't know that it's not going
to be easy to shake hands in the fiery furnace! Thank God now I
am on my way to Heaven. Is there anybody else going to heaven
here? Let me hear you shout Alleluia! (Alleluia!)
Now the Lord says, "Even when the time comes for you to go I will
walk through the valley of the shadow of death with you.
" So David said in Psalm 23 v 4, "Yea, though I walk through the
valley of the shadow of death, I will fear no evil because though
art with me." You know the Lord promised. He said, "In my
Father's house there are many mansions - I'm going to reserve a
special place for Adeboye and when I've finished preparing the
place then I will come and then I will take him to myself."
Now, if you don't fear God and you continue in your sins then
Number One your prayers will be hindered and Number Two God's
eyes will be turned away from you! Because if you are dwelling in
sin He will not be able to look at you because no. no. no! His eyes
are too pure to behold iniquity. Now if God turns His eyes away that will be an invitation for the devil to move in. You see as long
as God is on your side, according to Romans 8 v 31, If God be for
us who can be against us? But if God now turns His face away it is
only then that we are in trouble.
So we don't need to fear sickness - we have the Great Physician!
We don't need to fear poverty - we have the Great Provider! We
don't need to fear enemies - we have the Great Defender! We

don't need to be afraid of storms - we have the Controller of

Storms! We don't need to fear tomorrow - we have the One who
controls tomorrow! We don't need to fear failure - it is impossible
for God to fail! We don't need to fear death - death is a horse that
we are going to ride to glory! But we must fear sin because if we
continue in sin, the Bible says we cannot continue in sin and
expect grace to abound.
Anytime I find that the enemy is about to attack me, the first
question I ask myself, "Lord, what have I done wrong? What sin
have I committed?" When I go through and by His grace I find that
I've done nothing wrong ah! Then I know what to do with the
enemy! That's why I want to appeal to us tonight - the Lord has
already done extraordinary things but I know He hasn't even
started. I want to talk to everyone of us tonight, I want every one
of us, every Christian, everyone who says he's born again, we
must make up our minds that from now on we will hate sin - like
our Father in heaven hates sin because if we can just get away
from sin NO enemy can come near us!
There's a prayer that you are going to pray tonight and that
prayer is "God, don't ever let me offend you again." But then
there are some of us who are not even yet born again - you are
still living in sin, your sins are yet to be washed in the blood. I
appeal to you tonight: Come and give your life to Jesus. Let Him
wash you in His blood. Let Him become your friend. Once He
becomes your friend, you can forget the enemies - He will deal
with them! So if you are there in the congregation and you want
to give your life to Jesus come now, the Lord is calling you! Or
even, you are a backslider. You better come quickly, that the Lord
may save your soul and take you back to Himself. He will be able
to say to you "Fear not!" But if you are living in sin you have a lot
to fear but if you come to Him tonight He will receive you. He will
take you as one of His own and He will begin to defend you for the
rest of your life! Shall we stand on our feet?
Those of you want to give your life to Jesus hurry up now, hurry
up, our time is far spent, hurry up now - hurry up! The Lord is
calling you tonight. The Lord of Hosts himself is ready to fight
your battles for you. But you have to surrender to Him first. So
come quickly... I want you to pray for these people who are
coming: that the Lord will save their souls; that He will wash them

in His blood; that today their names will be written in the Books of
Life! Begin to pray for them brethren! Those of you coming - keep
coming! Hurry up! Begin to talk to the Almighty God and say,
"Lord I come to surrender my life to the Almighty God! I want to
surrender completely! I won't struggle anymore. I want you to
become my Lord and Savior! I want you to forgive all my sins!"
Come on now! Begin to talk to the Almighty God and brethren,
please pray for them. This is the greatest miracle of all - the
salvation of the souls of men. Let's call on the Almighty God for
these people: that the Lord will save their souls! That He will be
merciful to them! That He will cleanse them in His blood!
Pray for them brethren! And those of you who are coming - hurry
up, hurry up! I know you are coming, some of you are coming
from a long distance. Come on now! The Lord is waiting for you!
This is the Day of Salvation for you! And as you come begin to call
on the Almighty God! Say, "Lord I don't want to be against You
anymore! Oh, Lord I want to surrender my life to You! I want You
to be merciful to me! I want You to wash me in Your blood!" Oh!
Call on Him! Call on Him now! Call on the Lord and keep coming!
Those of you, who are coming from afar, keep coming! I will pray
for you in a moment - keep coming! Come on now! Ask the
Almighty; Ask Him to be merciful to you!
Pray brethren! Just say, "Lord don't let me ever offend You! Never
again in my life! Don't let me ever offend You! I know You are a
powerful friend! And You can be a very dangerous enemy! I don't
want to be Your enemy Oh, Lord! Don't let me ever offend You
again! Call on Him now!...In Jesus' Mighty Name we have prayed!
(Amen!) Father we Thank You because You are our Friend. Our
Healer, our Provider, our Defender, our Supporter, You are our
Yesterday, our Today, our Tomorrow! Glory be to Your Holy Name!
Lord (Amen!) What You have done for us, we cannot tell it all.
Please Lord, don't ever let us annoy You again in Jesus' Name!
(Amen!) Once we are friends we know there is nothing to fear. We
just don't want to be Your enemy because when You arise Your
enemies will scatter and if You are on our side our enemies will
scatter too. Please Lord; don't let us ever annoy You again in
Jesus' Name! (Amen!) We thank You for what You had already
done. We thank You in advance for what You will yet do Glory be
to Your Holy Name! In Jesus' Mighty Name we have prayed!

May the Almighty accept your offerings in Jesus' Name (Amen!)

Why don't we lift our hands to the Almighty God straight away
and bless Him. Thank Him for January, Thank Him for February,
thank Him for March, thank Him for April, thank Him for May,
thank Him for June, thank Him for July, thank Him for August,
thank Him for September, thank Him for October, thank Him for
bringing you into the month of November. Let's bless His Holy
Name. Say, " Father we thank You! We thank You for every day of
the year. We thank You for waking us up. Thank You for hands that
can clap Thank You for legs that can move. Thank You for eyes
that can see. We bless Your Name! We give You glory! We give You
honour! We give You adoration! Yes Father we thank You for all You
have done! We Thank You for January, we Thank You for February,
we Thank You for March, we Thank You for April, we Thank You for
May, we Thank You for June, we Thank You for July, we Thank You
for August, we Thank You for September, we Thank You for
October, we Thank You for bringing us into November! We
magnify Your Holy Name Lord! Oh yes Father we want to bless
Your Name. We want to magnify Your Name!
Jesus said to Simon, ""Fear not!"" Now, when we were in primary
school or early secondary school, there's a part of the question
that we normally come across particularly in Religious Studies.
They give a quotation like "Fear not!" and then they will ask the
question: Who said it? To whom was it said? When was it said?
How many of you remember those days? Let me hear you shout
Alleluia! (Alleluia!)
Now we already know who said it. Of course we know when it was
said. The question now is "To whom was it said? Oh, I'm sure you
will answer immediately and say, "To Simon." And you think that
that's the end of the story. No. No. No, there's a lot to that - all
right it is to Simon, but its not to Peter and you know there is a
difference between Simon and Peter, even though it is the same
man bearing the two names. Simon is the fearful one, Peter is the
Rock, so the message went to Simon, to somebody like me,
somebody who's faith is not strong, someone who could be
frightened if he sees something to frighten him, not like people
like you who are great men and women of faith! But to a baby
Christian like me, Jesus Christ says, "Fear not!"

But don't let us even go into theology there: to whom was this
message addressed? One thing is clear - this message was sent to
a man on his knees, looking up to somebody who was standing.
Let's look at that aspect alone tonight because the Bible said,
"Simon fell on his knees at the feet of Jesus" And if you are on
your knees at the feet of someone and that someone is standing,
surely you are on your knees but your eyes are looking where?
Upward!
"Fear not!" is a message that would come to anyone who would
humble himself, who is constantly found on his knees. In 2
Chronicles 7 verse 14 the Bible says, "If my people that are called
by my name will humble themselves and pray and forsake their
evil ways, I will hear from heaven and I will heal their land." I
believe that somebody's home is going to be healed tonight!
(Amen!)
"Fear not!" will come to someone who knows how to kneel; in
prayer, in surrender to God, in humility and it will come to
someone who knows how to look up! In Psalm 121 verses 1 and 2
David said, "I will lift up my eyes unto the hills from whence
cometh my help. My help cometh from the Lord who made
heaven and earth." Those who will hear "Fear not!" are not people
who look down because when you look down you will see
problems. You will see the waves; you will see the storms. Those
who will hear "Fear not!" they don't even look to their front! They
don't look around, they don't look back or else they become like
Lot's wife and become a pillar of salt! Those who will hear "Fear
not!" they don't look around otherwise they may see oh, all kind
of resources they can turn to - they may see Commissioners, they
may see ministers, people of the same height like themselves
that they could say, "Ah! Maybe if I talk to my uncle, the Minister,
help will come." Forgetting that the minister is here today and
gone tomorrow.
But those who will hear "Fear not!" are those who look up to the
Almighty; people who, according to Psalm 123 verses 1 and 2,
The people who look unto the Almighty God as a servant will look
to the hands of His master - because they know that the Almighty
God, not only can He meet all needs is there forever! Those who
look up and see the Author and Finisher of our Faith are the
people who will hear "Fear not!"

So the word or the message "Fear not!" is for people who are
willing now to fix their gaze on the Almighty because the Bible
says in Psalm 34 v 5, it said, "They look unto Him and they were
not ashamed." And somebody's going to look unto Jesus tonight
and he will never be ashamed again! When You look unto Him it
doesn't matter how deep down you are He will pull you out!
When you read Daniel 4 v 34, you find something astonishing
here. Here is the story of Nebuchadnezzar. He was a king. He
became an animal. For 7 years he was completely mad - if you're
talking about mad - he was mad, mad. When a king becomes an
animal eating grass - that is madness of the highest degree! But it
says here in Daniel 4 v 34 that the day Nebuchadnezzar lifted up
his eyes to heaven - that was the day his breakthrough came!
Tonight somebody's going to lift up his or her eyes to the Almighty
God and suddenly you're going to hear - "Fear not!" (Amen!)
Because the Bible says in Psalm 40 v 1-3: no matter how deep the
pit, no matter how slippery the miry clay surrounding your feet,
no matter how hard the enemy is trying to keep you down, if you
can just look up He will bring you out of the miry clay. He will set
your feet on the rock to stay; He will put a new song in your
mouth! Somebody's going to sing a new song here tonight!
(Amen!)
I have discovered that when a man needs a very big miracle, then
he has to look up to a very big God. As a matter of fact if you
read John 11 v 41, you will learn a good example from the Lord
Jesus Christ himself. He wanted to perform the biggest miracle of
His ministry, I mean, He had raised the dead before. He raised
Jairus' daughter but then there were some very deep theologians
and academicians there - so when He raised the girl, they all said,
"Ah, what happened? He himself told us that the girl was not
dead, the girl was sleeping! So what is the miracle in waking up
someone who is sleeping?" So Jesus said, "All right, I will let the
next one really die!"
Oh, this time round it was a very young boy - the only son of a
widow. This one had not just died - he was going to be buried! And
then Jesus met them on the way and raised the boy up! Oh! But
the academician said "Well, I think the boy was in a coma and as
they were taking him to the burial ground fresh air was blowing

on him. Just as he was about to come up, that's when Jesus

arrived on the scene so it wasn't really a miracle!"
So when it came to the turn of Lazarus Jesus allowed him to die,
be buried and he had been there for four days! Then He came
back and said, "I will show you that I'm the Resurrection and the
Life! This one has not just died! This one is not in a coma! This
one is already stinking but I'm going to bring him out! But to bring
him out even I will need to look up to heaven! Even I, I have to
look up to heaven! I have to say to my Daddy, "Daddy, this one is
extraordinary! I thank You because I know that you have heard
me - I know You always hear me! But this one is special" He
looked up to heaven and Daddy sent down everything that was
needed. I am confident that the life of somebody is going to
change tonight (Amen!) I am confident that the sorrows that have
been holding you down, pulling down your head, will be removed
tonight because you are going to look up! (Amen!)
I've told you the story of a woman before, a wonderful child of
God and she had a son and the son was epileptic and the problem
of this woman was, when she gets into a house she'll be well
received but within two weeks the child will have an attack and
everybody will say, "Oh-oh! This is what you have with you? You
are good, but you can't stay on in this house!"
So she had to move from that house to another house, to another
house to another house and she was praying, looking at the
problem and praying: "When will God do this thing, God, eh? And
I'm following You? When will You do my own?" Then one day she
was going to the market with the son and right in the centre, at
the biggest junction in town where nobody can hide - the child
had an attack and of course everybody ran and they were all
watching from a distance.
Shall we go on our knees, individually, and look up to Him, look up
to Him and just talk to Him? Pour out your heart to Him; tell Him
you have no one else! You know all things. You know everything if I have something else at home - You know Lord! Then don't
answer me today! But if I have nothing else but You - then tonight
O Lord! I'm on my knees at your feet and I'm looking up to You O
Lord! Today, today, today I must hear Your voice! I must hear You
say to me - "Fear not!" I am looking unto You now! I know that if I
look unto You I will not be put to shame! I lift up my eyes unto You

O Lord! And I am expecting to hear from You. You are the only one
who can solve my problem! So I look up to You NOW, my Lord and
my Saviour. You are the only one who can heal me! You are the
only one who can provide for my needs! You are the only one who
can defeat all the enemies in my life! You are the only one who

heavens! Pour in miracles! Pour down signs and wonders! Let everybody receive miracles
tonight! Let this night be a night we will never forget! ThankYou Father! Glory be to Your Holy
Name! For we pray In Jesus mighty Name! Amen! Let somebody shout Alleluia!
While we were praising God just now my Daddy told me that there is someone here tonight
who is going to cry for joy. Now I know that I am that fellow. If you are the other one let me
hear you shout Alleluia! (Alleluia!) Up to this moment God has already delivered 2 women of
2 babies. Mothers and children are doing fine! We have maternity centres around so if you
see any woman showing signs of labour just inform the ushers. Now you may be seated. God
bless you.
I am told that there are more than half a million people at the other end of the road. I believe
you are hearing me clearly! I can assure you your miracles will reach you where you are!
How many of you believe that God is here already? Shout Alleluia! (Alleluia!) Thats a
beautiful sound.
For the benefit of those who are coming to this kind of Holy Ghost gathering for the first
time, I need to explain very quickly to you what we call the language of the Holy Spirit.
When God wants to speak to individuals for example, He says, Behold, I stand at the door
and I knock. If any man hear my voice and open the door, I will come in unto him. Hes
addressing a people but Hes talking to an individual. So if you hear tonight that there is
someone here that someone might be 5 million people for example there is someone here
tonight who is going to be blessed and who is that one? Let that one shout Alleluia!
(Alleluia!)
Good! Secondly, the Holy Spirit moves like a river. If He flows to your side and you dont
jump in at that moment, He will flow away. Therefore, tonight, you cannot afford to doze
because while you are dozing off the Holy Spirit may say, Theres someone here and
mention your case. By the time you wake up, you say, What did He say? That miracle
moment will be gone! So tell your neighbour - I am sure you are not here to sleep, so
remain awake!
Thirdly, David said, Thou preparest a table before me in the presence of mine enemies.
The Almighty God has set a table before someone tonight. On that table there is salvation,
there is healing, theres deliverance, there is victory, there is promotion, there are all kinds

of miracles, signs and wonders. You are free to decide which one you want to take. But if you
are like me anytime I go to those restaurants where they say, Eat all you can. Before I
leave they will know somebody has come! Tonight every miracle that God wants to give I
am going to receive my own! Alleluia! My Daddy is ready. By the grace of God I am ready.
Are you ready? I cant hear you! Are you ready? (Yes!)
Good! Tonight we want to discuss Divine Visitation and our ministration will be broken into
3 small parts, that is if the Almighty God allows it to go that way because Hes free to
interrupt us any how!
Now when we talk about Divine Visitation what do we mean? Thank You Lord! We have not
started somebody has received a miracle! The Lord said theres someone here, you are a
man but you dont even have a single testicle and the Lord said. Check now you already
have two! O Glory! I know tonight will be special!
Right! Now when we say Divine Visitation we are talking about the visit of the Divine One.
Now who is the Divine One? You could say the One with many names because the names of
our God are so many. In Revelations 1:8 He said, I am the Alpha and the Omega, the
beginning and the ending, the One who is and the One who was and the One who is to be,
the Almighty. There you could see so many names in just one introduction.
But then when you go to John 1 verses 1-3, the Bible says, In the beginning was the Word
and the Word was with God and the Word was God. The same was with God from the
beginning and by Him were all things made and theres nothing that was made that was not
made by Him. Hes the Alpha and the Omega; Hes the Maker of all things. Thats the One
whos going to visit you tonight!
And then in Psalm 24 verse 1, the Bible says, The earth is the Lords and the fullness
thereof. In other words, the Divine One we are talking about is the O who owns all. And
then in Jeremiah 32 verse 27 well I think a miracle is happening there already! Glory be to
God! Thats just the beginning! Very soon youll be clapping all over the place because your
own miracles will come Glory be to God!
In Psalm 24 verse 1, O my Lord! the Bible says the Lord we are talking about, the One who is
going to visit you tonight is the owner of all. That is why I know that an end has come to
your poverty. And then in Jeremiah 32 verse 27.well, these people dont wantthats
all right! Congratulations! We will hear your testimonies later! I told you Hes visiting us
tonight.so Hes started from the right. Im sure Hes already coming to the centre and
very soon He will go all the way round! Im sure Hes not going to forget the people up here
too! (Amen!)
In Jeremiah 32 verse 27 He said, I am the God of all flesh, is anything too hard for me? Tell
the fellow next to you My own will not be too hard for the Lord! And then in Genesis 17
verse 1 the Bible says, Hes the Almighty, Jehovah El-Shaddai, the All Sufficient One, the
One who is able to supply the needs of everybody and there will still be plenty left. In Psalm
139 verse 1- 6 the Bible says Hes the God who knows all things. In other words, the One
whos going to visit us tonight knows all your problems! Before you left the house He knows
why you are coming here and I can assure you, Hes not going to allow you to go home
empty-handed! Now when you read the same Psalm 139 from verses 7-10, the Bible tells us
that this God is everywhere at all times. This means that wherever you are now, God is
there and Im sure very, very soon Hes going to touch you and say, Im by your side.
Now in Psalm 115 verse 3 the Bible says, Our God is in the heavens and He does as He
pleases. Theres nobody who can query Him. So when He decides to give you a miracle
tonight nobody can query Him! Whether the enemies like it or not, whether the witches in
your village like it or not, tonight is your night. The God who brought you here is going to
surprise you tonight. As far as you are concerned, the fact that you got here tonight means
that the Devil has lost the battle! If you believe that shout Alleluia! (Alleluia!)
In Daniel 6 verse 27 the Bible calls Him the wonder-working God, the One who can perform
wonders. Thats why I know that tonight there will be wonders because the wonder-working
One is visiting us! In Psalm 24 verses 7-10 the Bible calls Him the King of Glory thats why
Im sure that tonight all your shame will be changed to glory! Not only is He called the King
of Glory Hes also called the Lord of Hosts, the Lord of Hosts, the One who has never lost a

battle and Hes going to fight for you tonight Amen! (Amen!) And then when you
read Psalm 33 verses 8 9 the Bible says, Let all the earth fear the Lord. why? Because
He spake and it was done! The moment He speaks that is a settled matter. Now He has
already spoken to someone here tonight. He has already said, Your joy will overflow and
because He has spoken it is done! I say, it is done! I say, it is done! I say, it is done!
Thank You Father! The Lord says there is someone here tonight your head is always shaking
like a leaf. But Daddy says you can tell your neighbour to look at it now because it is already
steady. No more shaking. Thank You Father!
Now, what happens when He visits? Were going to run very quickly through the Bible and
select some people that received a visit from the Divine One and we will see from their lives
what happened when God visited them so that you can know what to expect because God is
going to visit you tonight.
Lets begin from Genesis. In Genesis 18 verse 1 5 Abraham received a visit from God and
that very day the barrenness that had been with him all these years disappeared completely.
Thats why I know that all barren women who are here tonight by the time were meeting
like this next year, your children will be 3 months old! Amen! (Amen!) He visited Abraham
and the man who had already lost hope suddenly found that his hope was renewed because
the One who visited him is the hope of glory! He visited Abraham and suddenly laughter
came into his home because the One who came to visit him is the One who is known as the
fullness of joy. I am sure that when my Daddy says someone is going to cry for joy tonight
it is because the fullness of joy is going to visit that fellow!
Now when you get to Genesis 19 from verse 1 to 22 you find the same God visiting a man
called Lot, And when He did, when He visited Lot several things happened one of the
things that happened was that all the enemies of Lot that wanted to kill him were blinded.
So all your enemies that have been pursuing you all these years they shall be blinded today!
In Jesus Name! And then because God visited Lot we discovered that the destruction which
was to come on the town where he was living did not come near his house! And Im saying
that theres someone here tonight, destruction will never enter your house again Amen!
(Amen!)
Then when you get to Genesis 32 from verse 24 30 God visited a man called Jacob Thank
You Jesus! The Lord said theres someone here tonight, you have tested positive to HIV you
have tested positive to HIV. You are on your way to having AIDSbut the Lord asked me to
tell you go straight back to the doctor for another test He has already cleaned you! God
visited a man called Jacob and on that day the One who is known as theUnchangeable
Changer changed the name of Jacob to Israel today He is going to change the names of
some people from children of sorrow to children of joy! Thank You Father! The Lord said
theres someone here, the meaning of your name is wait and God said for a long time you
have been waiting for blessings. He asked me to tell you that He has changed your name
from wait to blessings!
When God visited Jacob He changed his destiny. Jacob was to die the following day. His
brother Esau was coming to meet him. He had promised that the day he saw Jacob again
after he stole his blessings he was going to kill him. But God visited Jacob and changed his
destiny. When he met Esau the following day instead of Esau killing him, Esau embraced
him and kissed him. I dont know who God is talking to tonight but there is someone here
that the enemy had planned you would not see the New Year and the Lord is telling you the
enemy has lost the battle.
In Matthew 21 from verses 12- 17, God visited the temple and you know that that means
that God visits you because you are the temple of the Holy Ghost. Now when He visited the
temple what He did was that He chased out all those who were buying and selling. He
chased out the thieves. Because Hes visiting you tonight all those things that are buying
and selling in your body, all those plants that my Father did not plant shall be rooted up! In
Jesus Name! Amen! (Amen!) Praise the Lord!
I learnt that one speaker is not working. Now the technicians are working very fast on it so
those of you in that section wherever the section is just be patient I will shout as loud as I
can until they finish the repairs but just remain calm wherever that speaker is. Dont worry!

Your miracle will reach you wherever you are tonight. Now, who are the people who cannot
hear me? Wave your hand! Is it right or left? Its working now? Let somebody shout Alleluia!
You know the devil is angry because he knows he has lost the battle over you, so he goes to
fight the speakers but he has failed again and he will continue to fail!
Everything buying and selling in your body, every sickness, every disease, every demon
shall go out today In Jesus Name! When He visited the temple He said My house shall be
called the house of prayers. Whenever God visits you one thing is certain all your
prayers will be answered because the One you are praying to will come to visit and in any
case He himself is the answer to all prayers so tonight every prayer that you had prayed and
the prayers you will yet pray all of them will be answered tonight! In Jesus Name!
Then when He visited the temple the Bible said children begin to praise Him and some
people said, Why are you praising Him? They even asked Him to tell those children to
keep quiet. Oh, He said, Have you not read that out of the mouths of babes and sucklings
thou hast perfected praise. Tonight there will be perfect praise coming out of your mouth!
You know there are all kinds of praises, there are some praises that you well.we thank
Godafter all He said in all things give thanks But there are some praises that come from
the bottom of your heart because of the wonders He has performed in your life. Tonight Hes
going to do something special for you so that your praise will be perfect!
And then in Mark 5 verses 1-15..Thank You Lord! The Lord says theres someone here
tonight, you ran away from the hospital because the doctors told you that you have leprosy.
The Lord asked me to ask you to check that the leprosy is already gone! Lets give the Lord
a big hand thats a big one! Lets give the Lord a big hand for that! Thank You Father! Glory
be to God! Thank You Lord! Thank You Lord!
Now, Mark 5 verse 1-15 God visited a man. He was a mad man. In fact, he was a very
special kind of mad man. Among mad men he was a mad man when mad men saw him
coming they ran. But one day God visited him and every power of darkness in his life was
chased out. Because the One who visited him is the Light! Thats why every power of
darkness that has been troubling you will be chased out tonight. Now this mad man was a
very lonely man because he was a living in a tomb there was nobody who could live with
him! The issue of marriage does not arise. When God visited him his loneliness ended and I
know there is someone here tonight who is very lonely and God is going to visit you and
your loneliness will end in Jesus Name! This man, this mad man was living in a continuous
storm because the enemies were not giving him rest day or night! But the One who visited
him is calledthe Prince of Peace and from the day God visited him, peace came into his
life. There might be some people here tonight who are facing one kind of storm or the other
because God is going to visit you tonight there will be peace forever in your life.
And then when you look at Mark 5 and you read the story from verse 21 to 24 and then 35
to 42 you find the story of a man called Jairus who lost his only daughter and God visited
him.
Thank You Lord! The Lord said theres someone here tonight, they carried you in. Daddy
asked me to tell you you can stand up now and continue to walk because you are already
healed! Oh yes! Lets give the Lord a big hand! Thank You Father! Glory be to God! Thank
You Lord!
Now we were talking about Jairus. God visited him and when God visited him the first thing
he did was he chased out those who are enemies who were pretending to be friends! Oh,
they were weeping before God came in but the moment Jesus came in they began to laugh.
They changed from weeping to laughter so fast that everybody will know that the weeping
they were weeping were crocodile tears. From tonight all my enemies that are pretending to
be your friends God will expose them all!
The second thing that God chased out of his house was death. Death had come to swallow
the only child of Jairus but when the One whose name is the Life got there He chased out
death. Tonight every form of death whether physical or mental or financial or marital or
spiritual that may be in your house, by the time you get home you will not meet them Amen!
(Amen!) He chased out sorrow from the house of Jairus and replaced it with joy so shall it
be for you In Jesus Name! (Amen!)

And then in Mark 10:46-52 the Bible tells us of a man called Bartemaeus who was sitting by
the roadside begging. He was blind. There was no way he could be cured but one day the
Divine One came visiting and He visited Bartemaeus. By the time He finished with
Bartemaeus suddenly his eyes were open, the One who was incurable became cured. So if
you are here tonight and the doctors have told you that your case is incurable I have good
news for you the Great Physician is going to visit you tonight and if theres any part of
your body that the doctors said, Theres nothing we can do, my Father will do something
tonight. Bartemaeus was a beggar that automatically means he was number one when we
are talking about poverty. But because the Divine One visited him, from that day he never
begged again. Now, there are some of you who are here tonight who are deeply in debt. I tell
you in the mighty Name of Jesus! by this time of next year you will come in your own car!
Amen! (Amen!) All your debts will be paid off! In Jesus Name! (Amen!)
But theres something else about Bartemaeus. When God visited him there was a crowd
there but God heard his cry even though he was a poor man God heard his cry! I am sure
there is someone here tonight whose cry God is going to hear! If you are the one say Amen!
(Amen!)
Then in Luke 5 verse 1- 11 theres a story of a man called Peter. He fished all night and
caught nothing. Early in the morning God visited him and suddenly failure became success.
There might be some people here tonight that if we were to write your story what we
would put there in capitals is FAILURE but because God is going to visit you tonight today will
be the beginning of success for you. In Jesus Name! (Amen!)
Thank You Father! Brethren, the Lord is healing so fast I cant tell you all. For example, He
has just healed someone of tuberculosis and theres somebody here with a child, the child is
mentally retarded, the Lord asked me to tell you, that child is going to become very brilliant
because He has changed the brain! Oh Lord! Thank You Jesus! The Lord says theres
someone here for example who has cataract in the eye the Lord asked me to tell you by
tomorrow morning you will see that it has disappeared! Thank You Father!
So He visited Peter and changed his failure to success, and gave him a brand new beginning.
And because Hes going to visit you tonight you too will have a brand new beginning! In
Jesus Name!
Then in John 2:1-11 the Bible says there was a wedding in Cana of Galilee and Jesus was
invited and He accepted the invitation all of you who are yet to marry, next year Jesus will
attend your wedding! Amen! (Amen!) Now when the wedding was going on you know the
story very well, they ran out of wine and shame came but because Jesus was there, because
the Divine One was visiting, their shame became glory so will it happen to you in Jesus
Name! And then when the mother of Jesus went to Him and said they need wine. Jesus said,
Woman, my hour has not come yet! But that very day the hour of miracles came! For
somebody here tonight who had been expecting miracles for a long time your hour will
come today!
And then in Acts 16:19-39 Thank You Lord! The Lord said there is someone here, a woman,
your womb that has been considered dead is suddenly shaking, the Lord asked me to tell
you - that womb that was considered dead will soon produce a set of twins! Thank You my
Lord! Acts 126:1939, the Bible tells us about the Bible tells us about two brothers Paul
and Silas. They were thrown into prison by the enemy. And then God paid them a visit.
Because God visited them, number one, the Bible says everyones bounds were loosed so
every yoke that has bound you whether the curse that was upon your family, whether a
covenant that your parents made with one idol or the other..Every yoke that has bound
you will be broken today in Jesus Name! And then because God visited these people the
Bible says prison doors were opened! Now, there are some people who have been kept in
prison by forces of darkness. Some of you had been kept in prison by poverty; some of you
had been kept in prison by some sickness or disease. Tonight prison doors are opened, I say,
prison doors are opened! Amen! (Amen!)
And then because God visited Paul and Silas in prison. Those who started off as prisoners
suddenly became the commander of the jailer in other words; whenever God visits there
will be supernatural promotion and there are some of us who need that kind of promotion. If

you need a promotion wave your hand. You will get double promotion from now on In Jesus
Name! (Amen!)
Ive just tried to give you some samples of people that God visited but then lets ask another
question quickly. When is God likely to visit? Oh! He can come anytime but usually He
comes when the fire is hottest. When they threw Shadrach, Meshach and Abednego into the
fiery furnace God visited them. When the storm is fiercest, thats the time when He loves to
visit! When the disciples were in a boat and there was a storm it was the darkest hour of
the night. Jesus came to them walking on water. Whenever there is trouble within and
trouble without the God will visit. When His children were huddled together in a house..O
Glory be to God! Another baby has been born that brings it to 3 therell be many more to
come! Thats good news for the barren because it means God is really interested in the
barren and Hes going to give you babies very, very soon! In Jesus Name! Thats good news
for those who are yet to be married because you cant have babies unless you marry so you
know Jesus will attend your wedding next year. When the problem is toughest thats when
God will visit you so those of you who are going through any troubles right now, you can be
sure God arranged this programme because of you. And even if you have no problem and
you want Him to visit you, Hes more than willing to come!
And then the question comes who will God visit? Well, I thought somebody will answer
that question. I say who will God visit? Surely its me that Hes going to visit tonight. But if
you want God to visit youThank You Father!
The Lord said theres someone here whose back is bent no matter how hard you try you
couldnt walk straight. God asked me to tell you, you can walk straight now because He has
loosened your bond!
Who will God visit? Deuteronomy 23:14 says if you want God to visit you, you must be clean
physically and spiritually because the God we are talking about, the Bible says His eyes
are too pure to behold iniquity. In any case when He wants to visit He will look at the fellow
Hes going to visit and say, Oh, this fellow is too dirty! No! I cant go there! In other words,
If you are not washed in the blood of the Lamb, if you are still living in sin and then you want
God to visit you, He will say I want to visit you but I cannot stay where there is sin!" But if
He finds someone who, even though hes living in sin, is willing to repent and change his
ways and begin to live in holiness, Oh, God is willing to visit the fellow!
In Luke 19 verses 1-10 the Bible talks about a man called Zaccheus. He was a terrible sinner
but deep within him his heart was crying out to God. He wanted to see Jesus, so the Bible
said he ran ahead of the crowd and climbed a tree so that at least he could see Jesus. Jesus
saw his heart that even though he was a sinner he loved God, he wanted to be a child of
God! Jesus called him down and said unto him Zaccheus, I am going to have lunch in your
house today! There is somebody here today Jesus is going to have breakfast in your
house tomorrow morning!
Why? Because Zaccheus was willing to change! How do we know that? As soon as Jesus got
to his house Zaccheus began to confess: Oh! I robbed some people! I have defrauded some
people! I have taken money I should not take! But I will change, I will change, I will change!
And Jesus said, Today, salvation has come into this house. My brothers and my sisters! If
you are here tonight! You took all the trouble to be here tonight! Some of you had been
here since yesterday morning! You sat in the sun throughout because you are waiting for
Divine Visitationplease, why dont you let go of the sin in your life so that God can visit
you its very simple the Bible says 1 John 1 verse 7, it said, The blood of Jesus Christ
cleanses from all sins. In other words if you will come to Jesus tonight and surrender to
Him, His blood will cleanse you from all your sins. It doesnt matter how many sins you have
committed in the past Hes willing to forgive you, Hes willing to wipe away all your sins so
that you can become a child of God; so that He can visit you from time to time; so that all
the miracles you want can come and meet you at home!
Now, therefore, before we go on thank God for all the miracles that had happened already
but I know that greater ones are yet to happen! In order that you may not come in vain, in
order that you not be watching other people receiving miracles while you dont get any, I
want to stop for a while and give you an opportunity to surrender your life to Jesus. Now the

space in front here is small so I am not going to ask those of you who want to give your life
to come forward. But if you really mean business tonight, if you really want to surrender your
life to Jesus wherever you are now I want you to stand on your feet. If you have already
given your life to Jesus, if you are sure that if you die today you will go to heaven, remain on
your seat, but if you want to give your life to Jesus, if you want Him to forgive your sins, if
you want to be one of those people that God will visit - I want you to stand where you are
now because Im going to pray that God would save your souls. Those of you who want to
give your life to Jesus from all over the place, including those of you on the other side of the
road if you want to give your life to Jesus I want you to stand now and lift up your hand to
the Almighty God so that He can see that you are saying, Lord! I surrender! Now some
men would come to you where you are standing. They are coming to give you a piece of
paper where they are going to write your name, your address and your prayer requests so
that they can bring that all together to me so that I can know how to pray better for you.
Now, I can see so many of you already standing but I know there are still several thousand
that are yet sitting down. Please, Im begging you tonight dont let pride rob you of your
salvation! Tonight is your night of salvation! Stand up boldly and say I am standing up
for Jesus! Tell the Lord! - I am surrendering my life to you! Just stand up and lift your hands
to Him and He will see you where you are and He will come right there and save your soul!
And those of us who are sitting down, I want you to begin to pray for these people who are
standing, that the Almighty God will save their souls, that He will have mercy on them, that
He will write their names in the Book of Life. Please begin to pray for them now all of you
who are already saved, begin to pray!
There are several hundreds and thousands of people now standing. Pray for them! Lets
begin to pray for them now. And you counselors move very quickly now! Move very fast and
go to these people and hand over to them the decision cards and stand nearby until they
had completed them. This is the greatest moment in the life of these people and lets get
them, everyone of them including those on the other end of the road! Counselors please
spread over and move very quickly and the rest of us lets begin to pray for them. Lets pray
for these people and those of you who are standing talk to the Almighty God and ask
Almighty God to have mercy on you today. Ask Him to have mercy on you today! Ask Him to
save your souls! Ask Him to forgive your sins! Ask Him to have mercy on you today! Ask Him

praying for these people. Lets pray for these new ones, there are so many of them. Lets
rejoice as we pray for them that the Lord would save their souls and have mercy on them!
Let there be not a single counselor standing by. Please go - all counselors and reach all these
people now as soon as possible! The Lord wants to save every soul tonight and we must
pray for them! If you are still sitting down and you want to give your life to Jesus, I want you
to stand quickly and lift your hands so the counselors can see you. Im going to pray for you
in a moment but I want the counselors to reach you first before I pray for all of you.
All of us left - begin to pray that God would save these souls. Dont stop praying this is
the crucial moment. Lets quickly move now into their midst. Counselors, please dont forget
those who are on the other side of the road. There are very many of them there.. And they

souls of these people, that He would have mercy on them; that He will wash them in His
blood; that He will write their names in the Book of Life! Command that the Devil should

now brethren! Lets pray for them! Lets pray for them! Lets pray for them now! That every
one will be saved, that all those who are standing now will become true children of the living
God!
If you are not one of those giving your life to Jesus please sit down. Only those who are
giving their life to Jesus Christ should be standing now! O Lord! Thank You Daddy! Please
keep on praying for them! Keep on interceding for them that the Lord will save
their souls; that not a single one of them will go from here without being saved
because God cannot visit a sinner unless the sinner is willing to repent. These
people are ready now; they are ready to surrender their lives to Jesus thats why

theyre standing. Pray for them! Ask the Lord to save their souls! Ask the Lord to
wash them in His blood! Command that they be free right now as we pray! Come
on now, pray. Brethren!
I will wait another 2, 3 minutes because there are so many. Please pray for their salvation

say: Lord, You see me, Im standing up for you now. Im surrendering my life to you; have
mercy on me! Have mercy on me! Forgive all my sins! Save my soul! Make me a brand new
creature! Let me begin my life afresh! I want to become a child of God! I want to serve You

as I am! Forgive my sins! With Your help I will not go back into sin. Please have mercy on
me! Pray now! Pray for another 1 or so minutes and then I will pray for you very soon and
brethren - keep on interceding for them. Oh, keep on interceding for them!
The Lord is doing marvellous things in our midst the greatest He could do is salvation. The
greatest He can do for us is salvation of souls. Lets rejoice! Lets rejoice as we
intercede for these people because I can see people standing all over the place.
Oh, there are so many of them! Lets rejoice because of these and begin to pray
for them that they will never go back into the world, that they will remain true
children of God forever. Keep on praying for them - thats why they are here! Ask
the Lord to have mercy on them. Pray for another 30 seconds and I will be
praying. Ask Almighty God to wash them clean and make them as white as snow.
Pray for them brethren! Im going to pray very soon now but you keep on praying, keep
on praying that these people who have surrendered their lives to Jesus, they would remain
true children of God for the rest of their lives and the Name of the Lord would be glorified in
their lives like never before!
Lets praise Him; lets praise Him! Thank You Father! Blessed be the Name of the Lord! O
Thank You Saviour! Save them! Save every soul, every sinner here Lord, everyone standing
right now, my Father and my God! Save their souls! Those who are yet to stand, my Father, I
command that the Devil will release them that they will stand now, right now, that they too
can receive their salvation! Dont let any sinner go out of here without salvation Father!
Thank You Lord! Please pour salvation on all these people let there be showers of salvation
on all these people tonight to the glory of Your Holy Name! Thank You my Father! Glory be to
God! In Jesus mighty Name! we have prayed!
Now, I want to pray for those of you who are standing for salvation and as I pray I want your
Amen to be loud and clear! In the mighty Name of Jesus! (Amen!) In the mighty Name of
Jesus! (Amen!) Father, I thank You because Your Word says no man can come unto me
except my Father draws him. Thank You for drawing these multitudes to Yourself. Accept our
thanks in Jesus Name! . Now, everyone O Lord that have come unto You because of Your
promise that whoever would come unto you, you would in no wise cast out! Please save
their souls tonight in Jesus Name! Forgive their sins tonight in Jesus Name! Write their
names in the Book of Life in Jesus Name! Wipe away all their sins with Your Blood in Jesus
Name! And from tonight continue to visit them in Jesus Name! And in the Kingdom of God
dont let them be found wanting in Jesus Name! Thank You Father! For we pray In Jesus
mighty Name! Amen!
Now those of you who are standing for salvation if the counselors have not yet reached you
please remain standing. This is very, very important. This is the most importantI want
them to get your names and your prayer requests so that I can be praying for you. If the
counselors have not reached you, we will wait for you; we will wait till they have attended to
all of you. We are here all night! More miracles are yet to come and we are not in a hurry! Is
there anybody here whos in a hurry? Are you in a hurry? I cant hear you? All right now!
Stand there until the counselors have attended to you!
Now the rest of us while we wait for these people, I told you that when God comes to
visit every prayer will be answered. I want to appeal to you, in the next five
minutes, the kind of prayer you have never prayed before, begin to pray! Forget
everybody by your side and begin to pray! Call on God now! Every miracle you

need this is the time to ask for it. You begin to pray because Im going to pray
for myself right now! For the next five minutes, keep on praying God is visiting
tonight and the prayers of tonight will be answered. Go ahead continue to pray
now!
Ask Him for mighty things, not small things! Mighty things! Hes a great God and
Hes visiting tonight! Ask Him for the impossible. He said Hes the God who said,
With me nothing shall be impossible. Ask Him to surprise you Oh yes, if you
are the poorest man here ask Him that before January you want to move to your
own house! Ask Him for the impossible! If you are barren ask Him for triplets! If
you dont have anything ask Him to make you a millionaire by this time next year!

Now they told me at 2.25 am another boy has been born! That brings the children to four!
Now as we get ready to go to the second session, I want us to sing and dance a little
because this is not the time when you should allow anything at all to hold you down. We are
just about to go to the real realm of miracles. Theres a song that the band will start with
and then they can add their own along the way. I want you to dance to that song it
says, Im serving a God of miracles, Yes, I Know If you know that one then stand on
your feet and let us danceShout Alleluia! (Alleluia!) Tell your neighbour my
miracle is about to happen. Say it loud and clear! God bless you! You may be seated
because thats exactly whats going to happen now!!
Is there anything that is better than Divine Visitation? Oh yes there is, there is one
thing better than that God should visit you and that is, that God should stay with you. Oh! If
He visits He will perform miracles but if He stays then you will be living with miracles! I want
God to come and dwell in my house. I want Him to dwell in my house so that when I wake up
in the morning, He will be there! In the evening, He will be there! In the nighttime, He will be
there!
But then suppose God arrives at your house today how do you receive Him? What
are you supposed to do for Him to even consider the possibility of entering your house? If we
had the time we would have gone through the entire Bible again to show you one by one

those who received God and God stayed in their house. But there is one thing common to all
of them they were all hospitable people they know how to entertain.
When God visited Abraham after He said, God! Let me give you water to wash your feet.
He said, Come and eat in my house. Theres a woman of Shunam in 2 Kings 4 from verse
8-10. The reason she became the landlady of the Holy Ghost Carrier was because she was
hospitable that tells you one thing straight away..God is not going to dwell in the house
of a miser. In other words, those of us who want God to dwell in our house, we have to make
up our minds from now on that we shall be hospitable.. The Bible says we should keep on
entertaining strangers because you never can tell when one of the strangers will be an
angel. And the reason why God always performs miracles in the houses that he visits is so
that He can remove any obstacle so that the people can have time to serve Him. Everything
that will not allow you to serve God, God will remove tonight!
In Matthew 8 verses 14-15 the Bible tells us that when Jesus entered the house of Peter and
found the mother-in-law was sick, sick of fever, He healed her immediately! The story goes
on to say the moment He healed the in-law of Peter, the woman got up and began to serve
Him. She began to prepare food for Him. All of you who want to serve God and poverty is
hindering you, and sickness is hindering you and demons are hindering you and barrenness
is hindering you; every hindrance will be removed tonight In Jesus Name! (Amen!)
Those who are miserly, they dont know what they are missing. Oh! Thank God tonight is a
special night! I know some of you had already given a very good offering at least you think
you have done something good but God is going to go home with some people today who
are known for hospitality. Hes going to stay in the house of givers.
Now if God decides to stay with you what and what will happen? If God decided to begin to
live in your house what are the things which will follow immediately? Number one
according to Psalm 16 verse 11 the Bible says, you will feel fullness of joy. He said, In His
presence there is fullness of joy. Theres somebody here tonight, the only thing you will
know in your house is joy! Amen! (Amen!)
If God decides to stay in your house the next thing you will discover is that your blessings
will begin to overflow! According to 2 Samuel 6 verses 11 and 12there is a man called ObedEdom and he allowed God to come and stay in his house. Everything he touched prospered.
There is somebody here tonight, from this day onwards whatever you touch will prosper!
Amen! (Amen!) Thank You Lord!
The Lord said theres someone here tonight you are neither sick nor well. Anybody looking at
you will think youre all right but theres a problem. You are neither sad nor happy. You are
not weeping but you are not laughing. God asked me to tell you He will give you a divine
push today! He will push you to full health and push you into true happiness! If you are the
one shout Alleluia! (Alleluia!) Oh! Thank You Lord!
The Lord said theres someone here tonight because of a growth inside your throat you are
vomiting blood constantly. The Lord asked me to tell you havent you noticed that you are
no longer vomiting blood. He said the growth has already disappeared! Lets give the Lord a
big hand! Thank You Jesus! Glory be to God! Thank You Father!
If God decides to stay in your house you will have permanent victory because according
to Psalm 27 verses 4 to 6 the Bible says if you are dwelling with God, God will lift your head
above all your enemies. In other words, the enemies may be there but youll be living far
above them! You will have permanent security! Because the Bible says, He that dwelleth in
the secret place of the most high shall abide under the shadow of the Almighty. Oh, you will
find problems happening to the people on the right and on the left but it wont come near
you at all!
Oh, if you will just allow God to come and dwell in your house then youll be able to say as
David said, Surely goodness and mercy shall follow me for how long? All the days of
my life! And I will be dwelling with God for ever! Oh Thank You my Father!
The Lordright now every kind of tumour are dissolving now, tumours are dissolving now.
Oh! Thank You Father! The Lord says theres a woman here with the issue of blood. It has
dried up its not going to start again! O Glory be to God! The Lord said theres someone
here tonight, you are dying! The doctor said so! You know it yourself but you had prayed a

prayer tonight. You said, God, if only you can heal me! I will show you how faithful, how
grateful I can be. God asked me to tell you, He has added 30 years to your life!
Oh! Thank You Father! Glory be to God! The Lord said theres someone here tonight, when
you walk you stagger because of certain imbalance in your brain. The Lord asked me to tell
you, you can take a walk now because you are now walking steady. Everything causing the
problem in your brain He has removed. Thank You Father!
The Lord said theres a man here tonight, your male organ has practically disappeared. The
Lord asked me to tell you its coming out, its already coming out, its already coming out
now, you can check! Its already coming out! Im sure your wife will be happy to hear that
the thing is already coming out!Lets give the Lord a big hand! Thank You Jesus! Glory be to
God! Thank You Father! Alleluia! Lord!
Now suppose God comes into your house. How are you going to get Him to
stay? So that He wont go, He wont leave at all? Very simple. As the Englishman would say,
Birds of a feather flock together. If you want Him to stay in your house you must be
addicted to holiness because He said in His Word 1 Peter 1 verse 15 and 16. He
said, Be ye holy for I am holy. If two of us are going to stay together, holiness is
paramount. So if you want Him to stay in your house you have to get rid of every form of sin,
every form of idol, because He will not share His glory with any man. Hes a very jealous
God. He will not stay in your house with any idol or with any sin!
Secondly, if you want Him to stay in your house you must be wise. What do I mean, you
must be wise? Because God does not like fools at all. Because the Bible says in Psalm 53
verse 1, it said, The fool has said in his heart, there is no God. God says, Well if you say
there is no God then why should I stay with you? So you must be wise.
How do we know those who are wise? The Bible says, The fear of the Lord is the beginning
of wisdom. So those who fear Him are those who are wise. But theres one other way you
can know the wise. The Bible says in Proverbs 11 verse 30, it says, Whosoever winneth
souls is wise. In other words, if you want God to stay in your house, the moment you leave
here, for the rest of your life, you must go about winning souls. Just keep inn telling the
whole world what God has done in Lekki what you have seen, what you have heard; what
He has done for you! Keep telling others and then invite them to Jesus!
Then comes the question. There are so many millions of us here now. And I want Him to
come to my house. How do I invite Him in? According to John 4 from verse 23 to 24, the
Bible says, God is a spirit and they that worship Him must worship Him in spirit and in
truth. So if you want Him to come to your house, that same passage says God is seeking for
those who will worship Him.
Not only that. In Psalm 22 verse 3 the Bible says, God inhabits the praises of His people. In
other words, anytime where theyre praising God, where theyre worshiping Him, where
theyre singing praises unto Him, God will always be there. There are some homes, all they
do is quarrel, all they do is grumble, all they do is murmur. God cant stay in such a place so
you have to go home and change your attitude and begin to praise Him and begin to
worship Him. As a matter of fact one of the things He told me as I was preparing for tonight
is that if you will praise Him He will do certain things in your life that all your prayers cannot
do! Is there anybody here tonight ready to praise God? Are you sure? Let me hear you shout
Alleluia! (Alleluia!) I am not sureLet me start with the sisters because we are at a very
crucial point now. Miracles are about to fall like a rain! So let me ask the sisters. All sisters
who are ready to praise God now let me hear you shout Alleluia! (Alleluia!) Thats good!
Thats good! Now brothers all brothers who are ready to praise God now, let me hear you
shout Alleluia! (Alleluia!) Very good!
You know what were going to do? For the next five minutesThank You very much..I
think those people are serious.For the next five minutes we are going to just praise
Him and then we will see what will happen. Theres a song we are going to sing I hoe the
band is ready. Its a very simple song..Alleluia! ayyy , I dey worship my God, E dey do
am for me, Alleluia! ayyy. How many of you know the song? Now I want you to stand on
your feet. Were going to sing that song and every prison door will be opened now! Every

yoke will be broken now! Lets sing that song for the next few minutes. Thats right! Over to
you..Alleluia! ayy, Alleluia! aaayyDont sit down yet! Dont sit down yet!
Daddy just told me that theres someone here who has been begging for death because of
pain. The Lord asked me to tell you the pain is gone and you are not going to die! The Lord
said theres someone here, you have several companies but they have all died down one by
one. The Lord asked me to tell you even as you are praising me one by one they will all
jump back to life! Alleluia!.aaayy, I go worship my God oh.
Daddy says, Daddy says theres a pregnant woman here, the enemies have told you that
they will not allow you to deliver your baby. Daddy asked me to tell you He will put them to
sleep when you are ready. And the Lord says right now Hes doing blood transfusion - every
problem that has to do with blood is being dealt with right now! O Thank You Father! The
Lord says right now Hes distributing spare parts for eyes, for ears, for brains, for wombs, for
lungs for every part of the body. Hes distributing spare parts now O lets praise Him! Lets
praise Him! Lets praise Him! Lets magnify His Holy Name! Lets bless His Holy Name! Hes
distributing spare parts now! Lets praise Him a littleAlleluia! haayy, Alleluia!
haay.I go worship my God! E go do am for me. Oh my Lord! Glory be to God!
Daddy says, Hes not just healing bodies now, Hes healing marriages, Hes healing finances,
Hes healing ministries, Hes healing now! Healing is flowing like a river now! Like waves of
the sea..oh! Lift up your hands now and begin to receive! This is not the time to pray!
This is just the time to thank Him! Hes distributing healings now! The healings
are flowing like waves of the sea now..The healing waves of the Almighty God
are so strong right now! Just begin to bless His Name! Just, just begin to bless His
Name! Just begin to bless His Name! Just begin to bless His Name! Just begin to
worship Him, begin to worship Him, begin to worship O Thank You Father! Blessed
be Your Holy Name! Lord! Glory be to Your Name! Thank You Father! Thank You
Jesus! Glory be to God! Oh! Amen!
The Lord said that there is a man here, someone, someone that to show you that He is the
God of restoration, your head that is bald-headed will be covered by fresh hair!
O Thank You Father! Thank You Jesus! The Lord said theres a woman here, the doctors have
told you that the baby in your womb is dead and they want to evacuate and you said you
will come to Lekki first. The Lord asked me to tell you, the baby is already moving now! The
baby is back to life now its kicking now, kicking now! Glory be to God! Alleluia! Father!
The Lord said theres someone here tonight, doctors have told you you have a short time to
live. You also said, I will go to Lekki first. God asked me to tell you Go back and see
your doctor tomorrow They will tell you, we dont understand but you are now well. Glory
be to You God! Thank You Jesus! Blessed be the Name of the Lord!
Now lets do it this way. We are going to sing that song one more time and as we sing I just
want you to check your bodies those things you cannot do before, for example some of
you, its a long time you cant bend to touch your toes. Some of you say you cant even lift
your hands for a long time. Some of you say you cant twist like this. Whatever you cant do
before as we begin to sing now begin to do them because Hes healing, the healing has
flowed. Come on lets have that song I go worship my God o.
O Thank You Lord! Lets give the Lord a big hand! Lets give the Lord a big hand! Now, Amen!
It will be foolish of me if I say that all of you that have been healed should come forward
because there' be no place to put you but just those of you who have checked and you
know you have been healed let me see your hand.. Thats almost everybody.let me
hear you shout Alleluia! (Alleluia!)
But just in order that we might be able to show some people that all the things God had
been calling out are not just joke that they are true if God mentioned your case
specifically tonight this is your problem, its gone and you have said and it is gone, those
specific cases that He mentioned, I want you to please do me a favour and do yourself a
favour. I want you to find your way to the front we want to take just a few testimonies, just
a few so we can glorify God together and then we will move on to the final blessing. There is
something still more wonderful coming!

Tonight is the night of Divine Visitation. Now those of you that God mentioned your case
specifically and you have checked and youve..Allow those people to come..Alleluia!
aay, Alleluia! aay. I know many of you are coming from 2km away but you have to hurry
up a little so that we can quickly listen to some of your testimonies and if you are coming
please make sure you come with your bag because you may not be able to locate where you
are coming from. For those of you who are coming, hurry up, hurry up, hurry up!
Now as they come counselors could you please interview them. We want to take just a few
of their testimonies. Lets sing. Lets sing for a little while they are coming from a long
distanceAlleluia! aay.Many of you who are still coming from a distance,
keep coming now in order that those of them who are going to listen to them might be able
to hear what they are saying I would ask that the rest of us would just keep thanking God
quietly and then brethren maybe you would need to get down and just select about six of
the testimonies or so for me. They are already out there and then you counselors you may
listen to some of them that are already there. We just want to hear just a few and then we
go to the final blessing.
In the meantime why dont you begin to praise Him? Begin to cultivate the habit of praising
Him. Practice how to praise Him. And those of you who are coming from a long distance
keep coming, keep coming! Lets hear your testimony it will bring glory to God; it will put a
seal on your miracle so that the enemy would not be able to steal that miracle from you.
***Praise the Lord! Praise the Lord! Praise Jesus! The shouting at the top of my voice is the
sign of my miracle. I have been suffering from tuberculosis for the past 4 years but tonight
when our Father in the Lord made mention of my case that there is someone here who has
been healed of tuberculosis I got hold of it! That is my first miracle. Secondly, this very
morning I still noticed the sign of blood in my sputum, early one, this morning and I know
from the cause of the tuberculosis and whenever I take a deep breath I will feel a big pin in
my chest. That is the sign that the tuberculosis is still functioning there. But secondly, when
our Father in the Lord made mention again that someone used to spit blood and vomit
blood, that the person has been healed again I got hold of it as my second miracle. And my
daughter in respect of this tuberculosis she has been contacted too but shes not here
today, but I have received her miracle for her! In Jesus Name!

but tonight when they said that we should be praising God, we should be singing, I feel that
very. feel loosing, that it has now loosing completely! Amen Glory be to the Almighty God!

could not walk because Ive been suffering from kidney problem for one year and some time
during the course of prayers our Father in the Lord said God was changing spare parts in the
body and Ive been believing God that if I get to Lekki today Hes going to change my
kidney. I even ran from my seat! I ran up and down! I felt different! Praise the Lord! Alleluia!
Praise the living Jesus!
***Praise the Lord! My name is Esther Damolekun. Since last 2 weeks Ive been praying to
God because of the pain I have that the Lord should take my life, that it will be better to die

God that God please take my life! And immediately I just finished praying the Pastor just
talked about someone that had been praying about death! Praise the Lord! God has said He
has already reached in my life!
***Praise the Lord! I came here with pains in my womb, on my body. My name is Funmi, Mrs.
Funmi Kuti. There is a report that I will die if I have this baby. So Daddy specifically said that
theres a woman here, they said shes going to die when shes having her baby, that God
says shes not going to die again. And the pain I had after the operation for this baby was
there when I came so I pressed the whole place, now, theres no more pain there! Praise
the Lord!
***Praise the Lord! Praise the living Jesus! I thank God. My name is Mercy Emenege; I really
thank God for what He has done in my life! Actually I wasnt born a baldhead but all of a
sudden my hair just stopped growing at the middle! Everybody started complaining that
your hair is thin; that maybe I stole akara and kept it there and my hair started to stop
growing like that but I thank God this night as the man of God mentioned that you that your
hair that has stopped growing for a very long time that you have received your healing! I
now felt the hair - the something was natural at the middle like that! I really praise the Lord
and I thank Him for this miracle! Praise the Lord!
***Praise the Lord! Praise the Lord God! My name is Kerechi Raymond and Im so excited to
give this testimony because I know that this problem I had it was from childhood! When I
was a very little girl. I was always having lumps around although my mother told me that it
was sore throat and the rest of them. Last month I went to the hospital they told me that it
was tonsillitis but after all the drugs they gave me nothing happened the lump was still
there but they then told me that after, I was going to come back for an operation! I then
went to the church they prayed for me and told me I can go but it was ridiculous..After
vomiting, spitting out all those rubbish, when the Pastor, the Overseer then announced my
problem I swallowed spit, I found out there was nothing! Praise the Lord!
***Praise God! Alleluia! My own case....... My name is Olusola Adedeji. My own case is
imbalancing of balancing organs. This thing happened to me about 4 weeks ago I came
back from office, I was the one that drove up inside my house but the following morning
when I woke up I could not stand at all I was staggering! Then I wanted to go out. I
couldnt go out. Later I sat down, I prayed, prayed but until I move out. Now, since that time
I could not stand well at all! I could not even hear anything! I went to the hospital I was
admitted but it was as if I did not receive any treatment at all. Now when I came in.....I mean
on Tuesday this week I went to my office to go to collect money that I want to go to LUTH for
medical treatment but one of my colleagues, he told me that I dont need to go to any
hospital again that I should come to Lekki 98 that I will receive my balancing there! I thank
God today at this moment, as we were praying I received my balancing. In fact, I run from a
very far away to this place now whereas before I could not stand at all! So the children of
God should help me to shout big Alleluia! To God Alleluia!
***for past 22 years she had been bent double walking with walking stick but tonight
God visited her and made her whole! Praise the Lord!

***My name is Mrs. Sowande. Im from Abeokuta. The Lord said that the child in my womb is
already dead but the moment the Pastor is praying for us that we are praying Alleluia!
aaay I just see that the womb is moving and I thank God that the child has restored, all the
child restored back. Praise the Lord!
***Praise the Lord! Alleluia! Jesus can actually give one a miracle! I never believed in
miracles but tonight I do! I came from Port Harcourt and I had this dream that our Daddy,
the man of God healed me in the dream! And he prophesied that I was going to have 10
children! That was why I came to this program and beloved today He changed my name! My
Name was Edin, meaning Wait I have waited for a long time. I cannot wait any longer!
Alleluia! Today He has changed my name to a blessing and I will be a blessing unto my
generation! Amen!
***Praise the Lord! My name is David Durojaiye and by the grace of God Im a Pastor but
Ive been struggling in the ministry and it seems as if my waiting is endless! But tonight, my
problem was told to my name and the servant of God said your name is Wait and you
have been waiting on God for Gods divine blessing and tonight God has turned your name
from Wait to Blessing and immediately I caught it. I said, Thats for me! because I
know that Word came specifically for me! TG for what He has done, that He repeated
Biblical history in my life! Praise the Lord!
***Praise the Lord! Alleluia! The child of this sister has been mentally retarded because its
now 23 years old yet it could not walk nor do anything meaningful. But tonight, by the touch
of the Almighty God the healing of God has been effected in his life! Glory be to God!
***I got married in 1993. 4 months to my wedding, I noticed that my manhood started
ceasing. But Glory be to God! Tonight. Anytime I want to meet my wife during her
fertility, my manhood will cease tonight I received my healing! Alleluia! I receive it! The
Pastor said my wife will be happy. I know by the grace of God when I get home she will be
happy In Jesus Name! (Amen!)
***Praise the Lord! Praise the Lord! Praise the Lord! I am Joseph Ogoagu. I had an operation
some few long years ago on hernia and as I was operated upon my testes was tampered
with and as a result of that I had an imbalance of testes so when the man of God was
speaking he said there was a man here, hes a man but he has imbalance of testes and his
testes is being restored and I claimed the divine restoration and now Im being restored!
Everybody Praise the Lord! with me! Alleluia!
Well, I can see several hundreds still waiting there. Please, I want all their testimonies taken
and take their names and short testimonies but if we dont do something we wont leave
here today! In fact the people Im seeing over there they must be close to 2000 so we cant
take all of your testimonies. Let somebody shout Alleluia! (Alleluia!) Every Word that has
come from God is true concerning the one He has said concerning you, every one will come
to pass!
Now we want to go on to the final blessing. But before we do that I want to make 2 or 3
announcements quickly
I want us to do one thing now before we pronounce the final blessing on you because its
almost 5 am now and I want some of us to be moving before the rest of the world will wake
up. I want us to remain on our seat singing, praising God and lets give God a thanksgiving
offering that will show Him we appreciate Him and what He has done in our life tonight and
also that from now on Hes welcome in our homes and we will show Him that we can be very
hospitable. Lets do that very quickly. Ushers get ready to help us and then we will have the
final blessing and we can go home rejoicing. Now, over to you brethren..Hosanna,
Hosanna, Hosanna in the highest. You are worthy Lord!
Let somebody shout Alleluia! Now we know that the ushers are still busy they can continue
their work, after all we want to dance a little more! But you see as I sat down there several
messages were coming. For example God said theres a young widow here today who will
sing a new song in the New Year and He said there is a student here, you had your worst
report this year and that next year you are going to have your best report! Amen! (Amen!)
He said there is someone here that your life is like the story of a trailer that was separated
from the engine; that you were travelling steadily and speedily in life before and then all of a

sudden you found yourself slowing down, slowing down, almost about to stop. He asked me
to tell you the engine has returned to pick you up! Amen! (Amen!)
He said there is someone here, because of a particular problem in your life many members
of your family have refused to accept Jesus. Now He asked me to tell you I will intervene!
Amen! (Amen!) I will intervene! He said there is someone here, for example the enemy
caught you when you were young knowing fully well that if only you are free you will really
serve God. The Lord asked me to tell you from tonight onwards, you are free! Amen!
(Amen!)
Well, lets dance a little more! While we wait for the ushers. I thought youre ready Yes sir, we
are come onO Lord! I love to sing your praises, I just love, love, love to sing it; I just love
to sing your praises!
Ah! Ah! The Lord said theres someone here tonight who said, O Lord, I wish I can sponsor
the next festival! Daddy asked me to tell you, whoever you are, Ive heard what you say
and I will make you a divine treasurer! Amen! (Amen!) The Lord says theres someone here,
you have watched others celebrate, you have helped others to celebrate and you have been
asking the question When will my own day of celebration come? The Lord asked me to
tell you - your day of celebration is nearer than you think! Amen! (Amen!)
Then Daddy asked me to ask you to do one funny thing: I have to, you remember anyone
who wants to enter the Kingdom of God will have to be like a child are you ready to be a
child for Jesus? (Yes!) Are you sure? (Yes!) Well Daddy asked me to tell you to laugh just
go ahead laugh . I mean laugh..Laugh from the bottom of your heart!I
mean laugh really laugh! Some of you are not laughing! You are not laughing come on
laugh! Im not the one asking you to laugh! Better laugh now! Glory be to God! Alleluia!
Daddy asked me to tell you, all of you who laughed sincerely your days of laughter have
started! Amen! (Amen!) Maybe I better give you another opportunity to laugh now! Glory
be to God! O Thank You Jesus! Blessed be the Name of the Lord! Let somebody shout
Alleluia! (Alleluia!)
And now ushers you have to hurry up now. I want you all to ask God for a Christmas
present something you want God to do for you before Christmas. Please dont ask for little
things, ask for something special. Come on now, ask Him! In Jesus Name we have prayed!
Amen!
Father! I just want to thank You. I want to thank You for this glorious night. Thank
You for the extraordinary things you have done here tonight. I thank You for the
hundreds of thousands of souls that were saved. I thank You for the millions that
you have healed. I thank You for visiting Nigeria. Glory be to Your Holy Name!
(Amen!)
Father! My own Christmas present that I want is that everybody here will have a
testimony. Father! Give me my own Christmas present in Jesus Name! Everyone
here tonight who asked you for a present before Christmas Day, let them have
testimonies! (Amen!) I pray that even as they go your blessings will be with them!
(Amen!) Your miracles will continue to multiply in their life! (Amen!) I pray that
they will meet home in peace! (Amen!) That they will meet joy on the way!
(Amen!), that for the rest of their lives it will just be better for them! (Amen!) The
offerings that your children have brought to you Lord! Restore to them a
hundredfold in Jesus Name! Everybody here tonight and the families they
represent, let them enter the New Year with great joy! (Amen!) Every sorrow in
the New Year take it far away from them in Jesus Name! (Amen!) All the blessings
of the New Year, give to your children in Jesus Name! (Amen!) Wherever your
children go from now on let them find favour with God! (Amen!) Let them find
favour with men! (Amen!) Let ways be opened unto them! (Amen!) And in your
Kingdom dont let them be found wanting! (Amen!) Thank You Father! Glory be to
Your Holy Name! For we pray in Jesus mighty Name! (Amen!)
Let somebody shout Alleluia! (Alleluia!) Who received the biggest miracle tonight? Then let
your Alleluia! be the biggest Alleluia!Amen! As you are going, if you find any
piece of paper or something on the ground, pick it up and as you do so any problem left in

your life will be removed! Amen! (Amen!) Number two - my Daddy told me that your
miracles are not going to end here even as you are going home the miracles will
continue! Amen! (Amen!) Number three When Daddy told me that this ground will not
contain us even tonight, I found it difficult to believe but now that there are half a million
beyond the road. Now that means we cannot hold the next year festival here because it
will be too small! Glory be to God! So if there is any of you who knows a place much bigger
than this because next year we are going to be over 20 million! Amen! (Amen!) Please try
and contact us.
I want you to shake hands with 2 or 3 people and say, Thank God I came, I came, I came, I
came! Now as you go in peace, go home rejoicing and your joy will never end.
Now in the meantime because there are so many people on the road already that may not
allow those of you near here to move yet. I think those of us who are on the main ground
now should dance for some time

Alleluia! aay
Pastor E. A. Adeboye
