There is someone here tonight who is going to live the rest of his or
her life in victory. If you are the one let me hear you shout Alleluia!
(Alleluia!). My Redeemer is alive! He is watching over sparrows. He will watch
over you (Amen!) This month of May, a month of grace, God will be gracious unto
you. You will find favour with God. You will find favour with men. The favour
of God will pursue you and abide with you and go ahead of you. This month will
be a month among months for you. It will be a month you will never forget for
the rest of your life. If you believe that let me hear you shout Alleluia!
(Alleluia!)
Once upon a time, one young man looked around and everything was dark,
terribly dark. He was surrounded on all sides by enemies, enemies that were too
strong for him ….. and then he did something unusual. The situation was
hopeless, darkness everywhere and then he began to praise God!
When he began to praise God, certain things began to happen. Number one, God
arose for him. (Amen!) God will arise for you today. (Amen!) Number 2, God
began to fight his battles for him. The One who has never lost a battle will
begin to fight for you. (Amen!) Number 3, his enemies began to destroy
themselves. Because you are here tonight all those who wanted to destroy you
will destroy themselves. (Amen!) Number 4, All the wealth of the enemies was
transferred to this young man. Beginning from today, the wealth of your enemies
will be transferred to you. (Amen!) Number 5, this young man suffered for one
day and he was rewarded by 3 days of supernatural abundance. By the time my God
finishes with you, all your sorrows, all your pain, all your agony will be
forever forgotten! (Amen!)
All this happened because Jehoshaphat decided to praise God. Will you
praise Him tonight? Go ahead praise the Almighty God! Go ahead bless His name!

Lord. Praise Him like you have never done before – Praise Him! Praise Him!

Him until your enemies begin to destroy one another! Till all the wealth of the
enemies become transferred to you! Praise Him! Praise Him till all your sorrows
be forgotten! He is worthy! He is worthy! He is worthy to be praised! He's
worthy to be magnified! There's no one like Him! King of Kings! Lord of

we have prayed! (Amen!)
It is written that every tongue that is raised against us in judgement
we shall rebuke. When sickness stays in your body its saying, Where is the
healing power of your Christ? When poverty stays in your life, its saying where

Finally before you sit down, those of you who are children of May you remain
standing while the others sit down. Those of you who were born in May remain
standing. We want to pray for you.
In the mighty Name of Jesus! (Amen!) Father, I want to thank You for
these Your children that were born in the month of May. and so Father, I pray
that in the morning they will find favour and in the afternoon they will find
favour and in the evening they will find favour, in the night time they will
find favour. every door they knock at will be opened unto them. Every where
that they go the presence of God will go with them. Every one of you, as you
are beginning a new year, there'll be new joy for you. (Amen!) New blessings
for you. (Amen!) There'll be new successes for you. (Amen!) In all areas of
your life God will be gracious to you. (Amen!) So shall it be. (Amen!) In
Jesus' mighty Name we have prayed! (Amen!) Well let somebody shout 'Alleluia!'
(Alleluia!) You can be seated. Shake hands with one or two people and tell them
this is my month of grace. I'm going to find favour with God. I'm going to find
favour with man. In all areas of my life there'll be divine favour.
Acts 13:21-22, as we continue with our series anointing for greatness,
we find something very interesting here. Acts 13:21-22
And afterward they desired a king: and God gave
unto them Saul the son of Cis, a man of the tribe of Benjamin, by the space of
forty years. And when he had removed him, he raised up unto them David to be
their king; to whom also he gave testimony, and said, I have found David the
son of Jesse, a man after mine own heart, which shall fulfil all my will.
He raised up David, God is going to raise up somebody here tonight. (Amen!)
As I was studying the life of David and I came to this particular passage I
found those words particularly challenging: He raised up David. To raise
up means to promote, that is why I know this is going to be your month of
promotion. (Amen!) Because Psalm 75:6-7 establishes it for us that promotion
comes from God. Promotion does not come from the East or from the West or from
the South but God is the judge. He raises up one .. He will raise you up today.
(Amen!)
In 1 Samuel 2:8, the Bible tells us that God can raise up a beggar from the
dunghill and cause him to sit among princes. That means no matter how low you
are now, that is not how you are going to end, God is going to raise you up.
One day before you die you are still going to dine with Presidents. (Amen!) You
don't believe me. If you believe me your Amen would have been loud. I'm not the
one who will do it! He's the One who already did it that is going to raise you
up. And when God decides to raise up somebody, who can stop Him? Who can stand
in His way? Esther was a slave girl. when God decided to make her a queen.
Joshua was an ordinary servant of Moses; he was Moses messenger when the
Almighty God decided this is going to be my next President, who could stop Him?
Whether you like it or not there is somebody here tonight you are going to
reach the top. (Amen!) I say you will reach the very, very top! (Amen!)
To promote or raise up means to place where it can be seen. If you are
trying to show me something and I can't see, I say, raise it up, raise it up!
When I was sitting down here the people on the other side couldn't see me but
when I came to this higher platform they can now see! Very soon, the whole world
will see you! (Amen!) Why? Because according to Matthew 5:14-15 Jesus Christ
said, You are the light of the world. You are the what? The light of the world.
A city that is set n a hill cannot be moved. By divine decree you are the light
of the world. One way or the other the Almighty God is going to say to someone
here tonight Arise, shine for your light is come. Arise shine for your light is
come. Let me hear your 'Amen!' (Amen!)
It took God only one night to bring Joseph from the prison to the front glare
of Egypt.
Why because He diced to raise Him up. He gave Pharaoh 2 things that he couldn't
interpret. I don't know who God is going to give some dreams to tonight. Don't
worry we will already be shining. Some years ago at the beginning of the month
God spoke to us and said, I will advertise my church. We all said 'Amen', we
didn't know how its going to happen. How will He do it? We didn't know. You see
when God says He wants to do something for you, don't use your little brain
trying to understand how. So it happened that a federal Minister was misquoted.
The Press said that the Minister said he was going to fall down Redemption
Camp. The Minister said, "Ahhhh I didn't say so but the following day he
came here; the following Friday television crew of the whole nation so those
who didn't know we were here suddenly knew we were here! Those who didn't know
you are alive they will know very soon. (Amen!) I say God will advertise your
greatness.
To raise up means to assist to a height beyond personal ability. To raise up
is different from to climb up. If you reach a height by your own ability
you will climb up. But if God decides to raise you up. It means He will take
you to a height that it is not humanly possible to reach. And I’m saying to
somebody here, the helper of the helpless is going to take you to a height you
never thought possible. Psalm 3:2-3 David said, Many people have said there is
no help for him but Lord you are the lifter up of my head. There are many of us
who are here tonight. At one time or the other the enemy has said, There’s no
help for him. There’s no help for her, He’s not going to succeed; he can’t
reach the top! They say that one, leaving somebody out of their equation,
leaving God out of their calculation. Tonight because Jesus lives the helper of
the helpless will help you, David said, Lord, Thy gentleness had made me great.
Psalm 18:35 in other words I am not great because of my ability, I am great
because of Your gentleness O Lord. I am great simply because You decided to
make me great. Because the Lord lives you will be great (Amen!) I say you will
be great. (Amen!)
Some of you know this story. When I was doing my PhD Programme my supervisor
went on leave and gave me some assignment to do. He gave me so much assignment
that he was sure I won’t even be one quarter of the way by the time he returns.
By the time he came I’ve done everything so he called me and said, Listen, I
know you are a Christian and I know you won’t lie. Who helped you? Because
there’s no way you could have done all this thing within this time! Somebody
helped you!” I said, “That is true sir.” He said, “Who helped you?” I know if I
said Jesus he would laugh at me because he will say Jesus is not a
mathematician. So when he said, Who helped me? I said, Professor Emmanuel. His
name shall be called Emmanuel. Believe it or not he’s a professor of
mathematics. So when I said, Professor Emmanuel, he said, Thank you! I know you
will tell the truth. But then he said, Of which Department? Professor Emmanuel
is going to help somebody here tonight.
O Thank You Father! The Lord said there is somebody here tonight, He said I
should tell you, the time for you to enjoy rest, quietness and peace has come.
Now if you are that person let me hear you shout Alleluia! (Alleluia!)
Now to raise up means to promote, it means to place where it could be seen.
It means to assist to a height beyond personal ability and that implies that
fellow that is raised up is favoured. There were several people but God raised
up David. Even in the family of /David there were many big boys but David found
favour with God that is why God raised him up. There is somebody here tonight
who is going to find favour with God. Psalm 30:5 says, In his favour is life.
Weeping may endure for a night, but joy is coming in the morning. By the time
the sun rises tomorrow somebody here will be singing for joy! (Amen!) The Bible
tells us that when they sold Jesus into slavery, he found favour and instead
of being a slave he became Managing Director. Genesis 39:1-6 The Bible
says he was a slave but his master handed over to him everything, so much so
that it was Joseph who now decided what food the master would eat! The reason
why many of us are still struggling today is because we are yet to find favour
with God. Tonight as the Lord lives, you will find that favour with God.
(Amen!)
Six years ago we decided to start a branch of this church in the Republic of Ireland. They told me don’t waste your
time, it’s not going to work. They told me, the only Pentecostal church started
in that Republic, by Americans, had to close down. So where are you coming
from, you coming from the jungle of Nigeria? I said, My own is
different. I have favour with God. My own is different. Tell your neighbour: My
own is different! Say it with confidence: My own is different. Last month I
went to conduct Holy Ghost Service in Ireland. We already have 32
parishes there. (Amen!) We rented one of the largest auditoriums in the whole
nation. Everywhere was jammed and people were standing outside. If I remember
by the grace of God, next month I will show you a little bit of the video.
Because of divine favour. That’s why I say, from tonight onwards, everywhere
you go the favour of God will follow you. Everything you do, the favour of God
will attend to it. (Amen!)
Now the one who is raised up, not only has he found favour with God, such a
fellow can claim he is blessed, because promotion surely is not a curse. Deuteronomy
28:1-2 and verse 13 , Moses said if you will hearken diligently to the voice of
the Lord your God and to do all that I command you this day then these
blessings shall pursue you and follow you. One of the blessings is the Lord
shall make you the head and not the tail. You will be above only and never
beneath. You wouldn’t even say ‘Amen’ to that one? (Amen!)
In Genesis 24: 24-25 that man said, I am Abraham’s servant and the Lord has
blessed my master greatly and he has become great. Anyone that God blesses
automatically becomes great. You also remember when Jacob came and stole the
blessing of Esau and Esau came and said I have come now to receive the
blessing. And his father said it’s late. Esau said bless me also! The father
said, I have already made your brother your lord. I have already pronounced the
blessing that he will be head, so it doesn’t matter what you do, you can’t
catch up with him. So tonight I bless you in the mighty name of Jesus!
(Amen!). No matter how hard the enemy tries they won’t catch up with you!
(Amen!)
The one who is raised up is blessed. I’ve told you before that I am what I
am today by the grace of God and by the blessing of my mother because any time
I made her happy. She will say, You will call one person, 200 hundred will
answer. At that time, I didn’t know what she meant now I know when I see the
effect of that blessing. That’s why I’m pronouncing on you too today that
you will call one fellow, 10, 000 will answer! (Amen!) And the 10,000
will answer! The elders have a saying – they say it is not struggling that
makes people rich. If it is struggling, if it is working hard and struggling
that makes people rich, those people who carry 2 bags of cement on their
shoulders to work, they should be the richest people in the nation. The Bible
says the blessings of the Lord maketh rich and addeth no sorrows. Proverbs 10:22
That blessing that makes great receive today in Jesus Name! (Amen!)
Thank You Father! The Lord said there is someone here tonight today,
the Lord said I should tell you, you will no longer lose ground to the enemy.
(Amen!) You will no more lose ground to the enemy. (Amen!)
Now to raise up is a process. It involves so many things. If I am to raise
up this tambourine. There are certain things I must do before I could raise it
up. I will tell you some of them very soon but I have to go down, come in contact
with it, hold it, carry it, carry it upward and it’s a process. If God is going
to raise you up and I know He will raise you up – there is a process. The first
thing is He has to locate you. I don’t know how many hundreds of thousands are
here. I can’t see many of you. Some of you are far away and God may decide He
wants to raise up just one fellow – I know I will be one of them. I know my
wife will be one of them. Maybe one or two others will join us. So He has to
locate the person.
In Acts 13:22 that we read earlier on. He said, I have found David, I have
located David. The beauty of God locating you is this; He knows your address,
He knows your current address. It doesn’t matter how many times you have moved.
He knows where you are because He’s an all-knowing God. You can’t hide from Him
which is good news because He’s looking for someone that He wants to raise up
and He’s going to locate somebody here tonight. (Amen!) Locating you, knowing
your address is full of meanings one of which is that your prayers will not go
unnoticed. You know I used to wonder – all these thousands are crying to God at
the same time. How does He know what I’m asking for and what you are asking
for?
When I was a younger Christian, when we come to early morning prayers,
at Ebute-Metta, and they say Let’s pray for Nigeria, everybody will be shouting
and praying loudly. Let’s pray for the church! Oh it will be louder still. The
moment they say, Everybody now pray for yourself suddenly the noise goes down.
All those who have been praying in English before will now begin to pray in
their mother tongue. So the rest of you will not hear what you are
saying. But God hears all, He will hear you tonight. He will hear you tonight.
(Amen!)
In Acts 9:10-11 He was talking about Saul of Tarsus in a street called
Strait, in the house of a certain man. It said behold he prayeth. This is the
address and he’s praying there. |He knows your address and He knows you are
here to pray tonight. The prayers you have already prayed, He has already
heard. The prayers you will yet pray tonight He will hear also in Jesus Name!
(Amen!)
So Thank You Father! The Lord said there is somebody here, you have….. the
best way to describe it – you have a troublesome stomach. The Lord asked me to
tell you He had taken care of that. (Amen!) That troublesome stomach will no
longer trouble you.
Now locating someone means that fellow has attracted attention. In this
crowd for God to locate somebody that fellow may need to attract God's
attention. This could be as a result of violent prayer. I mean you know the
story of Bartimaeus in Matthew 10:46-82. It said a great multitude was
following Jesus but Bartimaeus made up his mind God must locate me! So he began
to pray loudly. They even asked him to shut up but the Bible said he prayed a
lot more, louder until God located one beggar in a great multitude. That is why
when we say let us pray and some of you are murmuring. I told you before it is
true God hears all prayers, whether you pray quietly or loudly He hears, no
doubt about that but who is He going to attend to first? That's the question.
Now, I've given this illustration before: 3 highly-educated people were
involved in an accident. We're talking about real gentlemen and they rushed
them to the emergency ward of the hospital where there is only one doctor and
the 3 of them saw the 1 doctor coming and one of them said, " He
should know that I'm here because I need help. So he kept his mouth shut. The
second one said, "Today I think I better talk so that this man will come to
me. But since I'm a gentleman I must speak like a gentleman so he said,
"Doctor, I need help man!" And the third one said, "This is the
day of troubles, not the day of grammar!" He said, "Doctor!
Help!" Which of the 3 is going to receive the first attention? Do I hear
somebody say, "Jesus help!"? He will help you in Jesus Name! (Amen!)
When Peter was walking on water then suddenly he began to sink. Supposing he
decided to be a gentle fisherman and say, "Ahh, after all Jesus can see me
sinking and then in any case He has taught us how to pray – our Father which
art in heaven, hallowed be thy Name, thy kingdom come…." How many gallons
of water would he have taken? When he found himself sinking, he cried out,
"Lord! Help!" And the Lord grabbed him by the hand. Jesus will grab
your hand today in Jesus Name! (Amen!)
The one you hated must have attracted attention either by persistent, loud
prayer, or it could be by loud praise. In Mark 16:25-26 the Bible said at
midnight Paul and Silas prayed and sang praises unto God and the prisoners
heard them. It was not a quiet prayer meeting. They were not praising God
internally. They woke up other prisoners with their praise. No wonder God
located them. From many of us here tonight God wants to locate somebody,
probably the one whose 'Alleluia' is the loudest (Alleluia!) Thank You It was
not a feeble 'Alleluia' that pulled down the wall of Jericho. It wasn't a plastic shout that
pulled down the wall of Jericho.
No it was a boisterous, violent, loud praise that brought down the wall of Jericho. It was a shout
that brought it down, it was the praise that brought about an earthquake! (Alleluia!)
Thank You Jesus! Glory be to God! Amen! God bless you! You may be seated!
The Lord says because you have praised Him tonight He will give you
something to shout about. So shall it be in Jesus Name! (Amen!)
So people could be located because they prayed or because they praised or
because of persistent giving. Cornelius was located because he persistently
gave. Or because of uncommon sacrifice. That’s how Solomon was located. Or
because of dedication to the service of the Lord. That's how Zechariah was
located. Or because of purity of life. That's how Mary the mother of Jesus was
located. The angel was sent to a virgin not a harlot. Or God can locate someone
just because he is God. He said I will be merciful unto whom I will be
merciful. I will show compassion on whom I will show compassion. Romans 9:15.
That's how He located me. When He located me I didn't know how to pray. I
didn't know how to shout. Surely I wasn't anything called holy bit he found me
all the same because He decided to be merciful. Who is He going to find
tonight? Wave your hand to Him and say, I am the one. Go on, wave your hand to
Him and say, I am the one!
So the process of raising up involves location as a result of having
attracted attention which will now lead to a decision to help. After God has
located the one He wants to raise up He has to take a decision. Do I want to
help him or do I first leave him where he is? After He located Daniel with all
his shouts for help, the Bible said He stood still, taking a decision,
finally He decided, Let me help him and then He said, Go and bring him. Today,
the Almighty God will send a vessel to somebody and say, Go and bring him, go
and bring him, I want to help him! God will help somebody here tonight (Amen!)
And then after that…. Thank You Father! The Lord said there is someone here,
your palms and the soles of your feet are always wet but now they are dry. He
has taken care of the situation for you.
After God has located the person that He wants to raise, the person who has
attracted His attention, He has decided now I want to help, the next thing is
that the hand of God will come in contact with the person. There must be personal
contact. Even if that is all I am able to share with you tonight if you get
that one that should settle it. Because whenever God touched a man a miracle
must happen. If God touched you tonight your problems are over.
I will quickly go through some examples. When God touches the blind, the
blind will begin to see. John 9:1-7 There was a man who was born blind, and
Jesus located him and decided to help him and what did he do. He spit on the
ground, made mud of the clay and touched his eyes. And asked him to go and wash
and he came back seeing. Is it the mud which made him see? Is it the water with
which he washed. If it is mud that will make you see there will be no
blind man left in the whole world. All they need to do is also spit on the ground,
make some mud and put on their own eyes. No its not the mud, it’s the hand
behind the mud because the one who touched the mud is the one who said, as long
as I am in the world I am the light of the world. When light touches darkness,
darkness must disappear. All of you who are blind, blind mentally, blind
spiritually, God will touch you today in Jesus Name! (Amen!)
I am saying it because of those people who have never heard the story
because its going to help somebody. I was preaching in Sapele to a small group
of people. Suddenly I was in the spirit and I saw a vision. I saw one boy who
was blind and suddenly I saw his eyes open. Quickly I announced it – there's a
boy here, there's a boy here, whose blind. God wants to open his eyes. If you
are the parent of the boy bring him forward. Nobody moved. Ah. I know what I
saw. Oh if the boy is at home, bring him, I will wait! Nobody moved. I waited
for one hour nobody came. I was sad. I saw that we were losing a miracle and we
had to continue on our journey because the programme was going on in Akure
also. We arrived in Akure somebody was preaching. I was sitting at the back and
as he was preaching, suddenly one man got up and he was holding a boy in the
hand and the boy was the boy I saw in my vision and the man was taking the boy
towards the altar and I knew that the ushers will drive them away, they won't
let them get to the altar particularly as the preacher was still preaching. But
you see the time for that boy had come – he can't wait till the preacher
finished preaching just as tonight now your miracle will come before I finish
preaching. So I got up and I began to run so I can get to this man and this
child before the ushers pushed them to the ground. As I was hurrying towards
this father and son, the little boy asked who was behind him and turned to see
and as he turned his eyes opened. (Amen!) I didn't touch him, nobody prayed for
him but God touched him. God is going to touch somebody here tonight. (Amen!)
If you are the one let me hear your Amen loud and clear.
When God touches the incurable the incurable will be cured. In the
olden days the worst disease was leprosy. Before cancer and aids and all of
them began to come. Somebody had leprosy then that was sentence of death.
But in Matthew 8:1-3 the Bible says and
As he was coming down from the mountain, a great multitude followed
him. And, behold, a leper came to him and fell down at his feet and worshipped
him, and said, if thou wilt, thou can make me clean. And Jesus touched
him and said I will; be thou clean. And immediately his leprosy was
cleansed.
When the doctor says your case is beyond help, what they are saying
is, humanly speaking, there is nothing more we can do. Not 'Jesusly' speaking
…. I hope you will forgive my English. You understand what I mean: humanly
speaking, there is nothing we can do – that is the report of man, that's not
the report of God. Because with God nothing shall be impossible. Tell your
neighbour: My own will not be impossible with God!……
……..………. And those of you that are still coming – hurry up now,
this is the final call. I know that many of you are coming from a long distance
but hurry up now this is the final call. Come and cry to God and say, God save
my soul! Be merciful unto me! Be merciful unto me Lord! Be merciful unto me
Lord! Save my soul! Almighty God save my soul! Cleanse me in Your blood!
Forgive all my sins.! Write my name in the Book of Life! I will serve You! I
will serve You for the rest of my life! Hurry up quickly those of you who are
still coming! Hurry up! Hurry up! I'm about to pray now for the salvation of
your souls. This is your day. It is the day of salvation! Thank You Father!
Blessed be Your Holy Name Lord! Thank You Almighty God And if there is anyone
still on the way just make sure you get here before I stop praying. Thank You
Father! Blessed be the Name of the Lord! In Jesus' mighty Name we have prayed!
(Amen!)
Father, I want to thank You for Your Word that has gone forth tonight. I
want to thank You for these people who have come forward. Your word says no man
can come unto me unless my father draws him. Thank You for drawing these people
and thank you that they have not refused your drawing. Accept our thanks in
Jesus Name! (Amen!) We have come to you Lord, please remember Your promise. You
said that anyone who will come to You, You will in no wise cast out. They are

Now those of you who are in front let me hear you shout Alleluia!
(Alleluia!) Congratulations. I am rejoicing with you and everybody here is also
rejoicing with you. I want you to know that there is joy in heaven because of
you tonight. And I want to make you one promise, by the special grace of God,
from tonight I will be praying for you. So I need your names. your address and
your prayer requests so I can continue to pray for you. Now you must give
the correct address because when I ask God to send your miracle, it will be
sent to the address that you put down; There are some Pastors who are waiting;
they will help me to collect this information and then you come back and
join us. So if you follow this brother who is waving a piece of wood, he will
take you to where the Pastors are waiting. They will collect this information
and then you come back quickly. Lets begin to pray now…….
Now we are about to pray but before we begin to pray there are those of us
that have some big testimonies – every testimony is big but some are bigger
than others. So if you have these big testimonies and you want to share, you
can go to the back of the altar now so that the pastors can listen to your
testimonies and then we listen at a later time. If you have big testimonies to
share, go to the back of the altar and meet the Pastors.
Are you ready to pray? I didn't hear your answer. Do you know that God is
here tonight. Are you sure He's going to answer your prayers? Then stand on
your feet. Let me hear you shout one big Alleluia! (Alleluia!) If you like pray
gently, but if you want to be the one that God will locate first then pray it
with all your strength. Father, - I mean, loud and clear – Touch me today!
Touch my body, touch my soul, touch my spirit, touch my business, touch my
family, touch my church – Touch me today! Talk to the Almighty God!….. Touch me
Almighty God Touch my body, touch my soul, touch my spirit, touch my
finances, touch my family, touch Your church O Lord! Give me an all-round
church today! Thank You Father! In Jesus' mighty Name we have prayed! (Amen!)
Now begin to cry and say, Father! Hold me tight! Don't let me fall again!
Talk to the Almighty God! Thank You Jesus! Blessed be Your Holy Name! In Jesus'
mighty Name we have prayed! (Amen!)
And then you will say, Father, You are the burden-bearer, carry me and my
burdens! Go ahead! Talk to Almighty God! You are the burden-bearer, carry me
and my burdens. In Jesus' mighty Name we have prayed! (Amen!)
And now you say, Father! Raise me up! Go ahead! Talk to the Almighty! Raise
me up Father! Raise me up! Raise me up! Raise me up! Raise me up! Raise me up O
Lord! Raise me up! Lift me up!……
Now I want you to pray for yourselves. You know the areas where you need
divine intervention. Go ahead! Talk to Almighty God!……
You want to dance some more? I know the joy of the Lord is here tonight. And
that joy will never end but we want to continue because we want to end a bit
early tonight because Saturday is a very busy day for us. And those concerned
know what that one means. They know that Saturday is a very busy day for us. So
we will take some testimonies, we will then hear a word or two of prophecy from
the Lord then it will be time to round up. While we are getting ready to listen
to these testimonies, let me ask you is there any one here tonight who is sure,
I mean absolutely sure that God has touched you? All Right, then, as is our
custom we would want to thank the Lord….. Thank You Lord! Amen, we will keep on
praising Him forever….
My name is Emakazi Chikeze. My story goes like this. It was the year 2000. I
got married and after I got married… I'm always going on evangelism and after
that when I got married they came to attack me, with horrors, at about
1.30 midnight and my private part missed and I prayed for some weeks and my
private part came back. And again my wife conceived and when my wife conceived,
it came to the delivery, they said she could not deliver. I went to the church
…. after some prayers again my wife delivered. Now I have 2 children with me.
Praise the Lord!
Praise the Lord! My name is Femi Thomas. I just want to give glory to God
for what the Lord did for me today. Daddy mentioned, he said there is someone
here that his legs are wet and his arms are wet, that they will get dry now!
And it got dry. I thank God that God brought me out of everything … Praise the
Lord!
Praise the Lord! 'Alleluia' My name is Akin Jackson. I want to appreciate
Almighty God for what He has done in my life. I give God the glory. About 5
years ago I had migraine, chronic migraine that I could not stand on my feet
but today I give God the glory I can stand on my feet. I went for
one of Pastor Adeboye's programme at Ebute-Metta, Mount Zion Hour. When he laid
hands on me I was healed I received my total healing. Secondly, I give God the
glory. Sometimes last year I was sick, I was terribly ill. I went to a hospital
and they diagnosed me of kidney stones. The doctor said if they are going to
operate me they have to take me to America. But I give God the glory, I
listened to one of Daddy's ministrations on the TV and our Daddy said that
every terminator in our life would be terminated, all sorts of diseases that
are terminators, that they'll be terminated and I received my total healing.
Praise the Lord!
Praise God. My name is Felix Marcus Omebodu. My own case is a case of
diabetes which I had for 7 years and I came for this Holy Ghost Service
last year for the first time and during the ministration by our Daddy GO I got
healed. Two days ago I went for the SBS test , which means passive blood sugar
test to test the level of sugar in my body and to the Glory of God,
everything disappeared. Praise God!
Praise the Lord! I was having fibroid and I did operation in 1988 and I did
not know that later the fibroid grew again. So, when I was giving birth in 2000
it was discovered by the doctor. I told God that the time of ignorance had
passed, that I will not do operation again. So since I've been coming to
Holy Ghost Service I've been thanking God, thinking that it had been operated
on by God in 2001, not knowing that it was there, so earlier this year I
went for a scan and it was proved positive that the fibroid was still there. So
when I took it to the doctor she told me that I would be operated upon. Now I
rejected it that that one is the doctor's report, that my Father will do it. So
I went to my spiritual father and we prayed and told that request in the
spirit. I now asked the doctor, will that fibroid have any effect in my womb.
So she told me it depends on where it is. I now told her I want to know
where it is. Then she told me that I should go for another test which is HFP.
Before then I was in my dream, I saw Mummy GO. Pastor Folu Adeboye, so when, in
that dream we were together just like friends. So I had it in mind that she
would pray for me concerning that fibroid. So all of a sudden 3 girls visited
her. I just had that ministration that if I don't tell her now, she will not
have chance because she will attend to those girls. So I now told her: Mummy, I
want you to pray concerning this. So she now told me, what is that in your
hand. I said, Like what? I collected it like this, the thing entered my mouth,
I began to bleed, within 5 to 10 minutes I was still bleeding and later I
pulled out everything. And when I went back to check the result, when the
thing came out it was proved negative, that the fibroid had gone! Praise the
Lord!
Praise the Lord! My name is Mrs. Bukky Eze, Twice I've been pregnant and the
2 times I've lost the boys. When we come for the August Convention I came and
met Daddy here and I was about explaining what happened to me, he just said, he
doesn't want to hear and then he prayed he said he come against every hindrance
in my life. So we came for the Convention I was sitting over there and I was
asking the Lord, I was asking for triplets and our Daddy said, there is someone
here the Lord said, that you need only a baby to pray to and that all else will
a follow. And I give God the praise that I came here February Holy Ghost
Service with my baby. Here is my baby. Praise the Lord!
Praise God. My name is Ronke Ogunleye I want to testify of God's goodness and
mercy in my life. In August 2003 I was diagnosed, having abnormal cells in my
cervix. and I went abroad to have laser treatment. A biopsy was done and they
found out that they were cancerous cells and they said I should do a radical
hysterectomy to stop the spread of cancer cells to the other areas the surgeon
said there were no more cancerous cells in my body. Praise the Lord! I
also want to thank God for the healing of my daughter Oluwafunmilayo and my son
Ayotomila. Thank You Jesus!
Praise the Lord! I'm Bolaji Odufuye from Higher Ground Model Parish,
Akowonjo in Ikotun. I was in Ijebu-Mushin on Tuesday and the brethren from
Prosperity Model Courts Parish invited me to pray with one of their members who
had been pregnant for the past 3 years. She has not delivered that baby for the
past 3 years. But when we prayed, immediately after the prayers I told them
that they should bring the woman to the Camp Ground today. So before I left
Ijebu that day we finalised the arrangement to bring the woman to the Camp
Ground. By the grace of God when I called them this morning that I am already
on my way to the Camp that I'm going to wait for them at the Information
Bureau, that the anointing at the Camp is greater than our own. So God will do
it faster at the Camp. When I called they told me that woman has delivered that
baby! 3 years pregnancy! Go to Ijebu-Mushin today. you will see that baby. I
had to leave Lagos and go to Ijebu this morning. I saw the baby with my eyes
and I saw the mother. They are well and they are doing fine. The whole of Osule
is in festive mood because God of heaven delivered a 3-year pregnancy this
morning without getting to the Camp! Praise God!
Praise the Lord! My name is Eniola Adekunle. for 12 years I've been having
this stomach trouble and this evening our father-in-the-Lord said that there is
someone here that you are having stomach trouble and I looked for it but I
didn't see it. I came in this evening with the stomach trouble. I praise God.
Praise the Lord!
Praise God! Praise the living Jesus! My name is Ogunleye, Ronke. My
testimony is this. I want to thank God for what God has done in my life
tonight. Last week I started having stomach pain. as I was just here I was
lifting my hand to say that God You should please o touch my life tonight that
I should not feel that thing again. And now I thank God that I cannot feel them
again Praise God!
There are miracles that cannot wait. My own is one of them. (Amen!) How many
of you will get your miracles now? Let me hear you shout 'Alleluia!' (Alleluia!)
While I was preparing for this night's service the Lord told me that
someone would be here today, He said I should tell you, that from today you,
you will eave the company of the frustrated. (Amen!) He told me that there'd
be someone here today who had been crying to God for wisdom, He said I
should tell you that He will baptise you in the river of wisdom. (Amen!) And
then He said someone would be here today, He said, you would understand when I
tell you, but very soon you will begin to rule in the midst of your enemies.
(Amen!) Let's stand on our feet. Let's lift our hands to the Almighty God and
bless His Holy Name for the wonderful things He has already done and for the
greater things that He will yet do. Father, we just want to thank You! We want
to give You all glory. We want to give You all honour. You have been so good,
so good, so good! What a wonderful God you are! Thank You Thank You Thank You
Thank You Father! Glory be to Your Name! Glory be to Your Name! In Jesus mighty
Name we have thanked.
Now before I bless the offering and then we go, there are still some people
who still feel unless the GO prays for me I don't think I will be
completely well… now this place is not large enough to contain you so I will
just ask you to raise your hand wherever you are and God will touch you there
and for 2 minutes tell God what you would have told me if we were to sit
one by one. What you would have told me, tell it to God now, then I can pray
for you and everything will be okay. For 2 minutes tell God. Tell Him this is
what I'm talking about, this is my problem, this is the breakthrough I need,
this is the victory I must have. Blessed be Your Holy Name! … Thank You
Father! Now let's begin to bring our prayers to a close. In Jesus' mighty
Name we have prayed! (Amen!)
