Glory be to God! Tonight somebody is going to win

wanted to fight there was no way they could fight. The forces against them were
overwhelming; they were not only imprisoned, they were bound. But they walked
out without fighting. Somebody will win tonight without fighting. What did they
do, what did they do? All they did was they praised God -

Luke 5. I'm reading from verse 1 to 7. I know the preacher
who preached probably used the same chapter but I didn’t know what he was going
to talk about. He didn't know what I was going to talk about but God wants to
give somebody double dose of blessings tonight. I'm confident that there'll be
several twins born as a result of the impartation. (Amen!) Luke 5:1-7
And it came to
pass, that, as the people pressed upon him to hear the word of God, he stood by
the lake of Gennesaret, [2] And saw two ships standing
by the lake: but the fishermen were gone out of them, and were washing their
nets. [3] And he entered into one of the ships, which was Simon's, and prayed
him that he would thrust out a little from the land. And he sat down, and taught
the people out of the ship. [4] Now when he had left speaking, he said unto
Simon, Launch out into the deep, and let down your nets for a draught. [5] 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.
All of you who have been working all night and catching
nothing this month you will catch double. (Amen!)
[6] And when they had this done, they inclosed a great multitude of fishes: and their net brake.
[7] 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.
I prophesy to those
who are trusting God for the fruit of the womb, next year Convention when it is
time to bring forward your children, your relatives will have to help you with
at least one of them. (Amen!) If you believe that let me hear your 'Amen' loud
and clear!
What is a womb? A womb is where a seed develops. It's a place
where the seed
begins the journey to becoming a fruit.
When the husband meets the wife, he drops a seed into the womb and the
seed develops in the womb and when it is finally ripe it comes forth as a fruit.
Psalm 127:3 said children are the fruit of the womb. So the womb is a place
where the seed develops and becomes a fruit.
So the womb of the father is the ground. He puts a seed into
the ground. The seed develops in the ground and produces something that will
ultimately produce a fruit for the farmer. In John 12:24 the Bible said except a
seed of wheat falls to the ground and dies it remains alone. So until you put
the seed into the ground it will remain alone just a seed! But when it gets into
the ground into its own womb then it is going to multiply. That is why the
fruitfulness of the farmer is determined by how good the soil is. That is why
some soil will produce 30 fold, some 60 fold, some 100 fold. Everyone here
tonight, that have not been fruitful, that had not been fertile, I speak loud
into you in Jesus' Name!.
So the womb of the fisherman is the river. The womb of the
student is the brain. So there are all kinds of wombs so when
we talk about barrenness we are not talking about the woman who is trusting God
for children alone. A student who is always failing his examinations is
said to be mentally barren. That means the brain that is the womb of the student
is not producing results. And I prophesy to every student who are present today,
your brain will become fertile. (Amen!)
Now from the Word of God…
Ohh Thank You Father! The Lord said
there is someone here tonight, He said, everything contrary to your
glorification shall be removed tonight. (Amen!)
In Genesis 29:31 the Bible tells us that a womb can be opened
or closed. He said Leah's womb was open and Rachel's womb was shut. Now
according to Genesis 30:1 and 2, when God shuts a womb, no husband can open it,
no doctor can open it. Nobody! No
one. If God is the One who opens it nobody can shut it. If He is the One
who shut the womb then He is the one who can open it again because Rachel said
to her husband, give me babies or I die. The husband said, What are you talking about? Am I God? But in Genesis 30:22
and 23 the Bible says, God remembered Rachel and opened her womb. Every womb
that had been shut by God shall be opened tonight in Jesus' Name! (Amen!) God
will remember you tonight in Jesus' Name! (Amen!)
Now according to Isaiah 43:13 if any other person shuts your
womb apart from God, then God can open it so if your womb had been shut by
witches and wizards, father-in-law, mother-in-law, tonight they have failed.
(Amen!) I say they have failed. (Amen!) Because the Bible says in Isaiah 43:13
He said nobody can deliver out of my hands but when I decide to work no one can
hinder me. God has made up His mind tonight, that this month there'll be shouts
of joy in every place. (Amen!)
Why is it that God can open the womb that somebody else shut?
Because Revelations 3:7 says He has the key of David. He says when I open no man
can shut; when I shut no man can open so with the key of David every womb that
had been shut, whether that of a woman, that of a business man, that of a
farmer, that of a student. They shall be open in Jesus' Name! (Amen!) Let me
hear your Amen loud and clear.. (Amen!)
I'm sure you remember this story of a woman who saw the
mother-in-law coming from the market and went joyfully to meet her and the
mother-in-law
gave her a bread and said eat this and use it to block your womb!
The woman said what kind of joke is this. Unfortunately she went ahead with the
bread and from that day she ceased to menstruate without getting pregnant. But
her day came. The day of somebody will come tonight (Amen!) We went there to
hold a program. She was getting ready, praying fasting and she fell asleep. One
afternoon and had a dream and saw some people in white clothes coming and they
opened up her belly and began to draw a rope, long rope! They kept on drawing
the rope. Finally, at the end of the rope there was a loaf of bread, black like
anything and they put it in the container and sewed her back and left. And the
bed was wet with blood – for the first time she was menstruating again. Today,
she is the mother of many children! Everything the enemy has used to block your
womb, in the name of the Great Physician, they shall be removed tonight
(Amen!)
There are various wombs. Business has its own womb. When God
shuts the womb of business, no matter how hard the business man tries, that
business is closed. Peter fished all night and caught nothing. In Haggai 1:5-6
God says when He is angry with businessmen, even when they earn the money it
will be into bag with holes. In other words they'll be working like an elephant, they'll be eating like a rat. I'm telling you many
stories tonight because tonight is the night of somebody. I am confident; I have
no doubt about it at all that before December every businessman here will be
shouting for joy. (Amen!)
Thank You Father! Thank You Father! The Lord said there is
someone here tonight, He said, shame shall no longer be your portion.
(Amen!)
There was once a friend of mine, working very hard, earning
very good salary. The wife working very hard, earning very good salary but at
the end of the month they are borrowing! And they keep asking, what are we doing with the money? And there is no thief in
the house! What are we doing with the money! Suddenly the house help began to
scream. What's the problem? He said, the fire is too
much! Every agent of the devil in your family, beginning from today, the fire of
the Holy Ghost will not allow them to rest. (Amen!) Then he began to confess –
because the houseboy came from the family of the husband: they told me at home,
they said I should bring your cap. I took the cap to them. I don't know what
they did to the cap but they say every money that comes
into your house will report in the cap. Every hole in y our bag, in the mighty
name of Jesus Christ shall be sealed tonight (Amen!)
Deuteronomy 28:12 God said when I open the womb of your
business you will be lending to nations. That's what He said. He said , I will open unto you my good treasure. I will open the
womb of your business. You will lend to nations, you will never borrow! There is
somebody here tonight, very soon, when you tell the bank manager that you want
to wiothdraw your money he will begin to shake.
(Amen!) You better say 'Amen' loud and clear! (Amen!)
What about progress? It has wombs. When God shuts the womb of
progress then no matter how hard you try, instead of moving forward you'll be
moving backwards. In the Book of Jonah:1-4 God sent
Jonah to a particular place. Here is where I want you to go Jonah and Jonah said
no and was going in the opposite direction and they got into the ship and they
began to move. But God shut the womb of progress and instead of the ship going
forward it was going backwards. When God shuts the womb of progress you will
fins that you are making all the effort to go forward but instead you are going
backwards. But when He opens the womb of progress, suddenly you find that you'll
take one little step and you'll finds yourself in a place you didn't even
expect!
In John 6:15-21. John 6:15-21 the Bible tells us a story. The
disciples were in a boat rowing very hard and there was a storm and instead of
making progress they were having problems. All of a sudden they saw Jesus
walking towards them on the boat and they were afraid. And He said, Don't be afraid and they took Him into the boat. The Bible
said, as soon as He stepped into the boat, immediately, the boat arrived at the
destination. Immediately. It just went zoom. There is
somebody here tonight., Where you think you cannot
reach in ten years, in the name that is above every other name, you will reach
there before the end of the year. (Amen!)
Thank You Father! The Lord said there is someone here,, He said there is a curse upon your family that causes
everybody there to make abortive efforts. He asked me to tell you. That curse is
broken.
The Lord said there is someone here tonight, He said I should
tell you He has already broken the hands of your enemies and the hands shall
never be repaired! (Amen!)
Oh Thank You Father! The Lord said there is someone here,, He said I should just tell you, I will turn your water to
wine. (Amen!)
You remember the story of a man who was not promoted for 12
years. If I mention the name of the university somebody here might know who I’m
talking about. For 12 years He was working hard, no promotion. Finally he came
to the Lord, surrendered his life. As soon as the Lord stepped into the boat of
his life things began to change. There was a coup. A new government came. The
new government sacked so many professors and there were new heads of department
and the new head of department of his own department said, I want to see the
file of everybody. They couldn't find the file of this man. Somebody had hidden
his file for twelve years so that whenever it is time for promotion – no file.
The new head of department said, I must see his file! All those who are
responsible for your staying in one position; those who have stolen your file,
they will no longer rest. (Amen!) until they bring out
your file. (Amen!) So finally they brought out the file of this man and the new
head of department said, This man has not been promoted
for twelve years! No recommendation for 12 years and immediately he gave him
double promotion. Somebody will testify
in October Holy Ghost Service. If you are the fellow let me hear you shout
Alleluia!.
What about blessings? Blessings has
its own womb. It can be shut. It can be open. In Genesis 48:17-19 Jacob blessed
the 2 children of Joseph and he gave the bigger blessing to Ephraim the younger
son. He placed the right hand on his head and the left hand on Manasseh. Within
a short period of time according to Deuteronomy 3:17 Ephraim had become ten
times greater! When God decides to open the womb of
blessing. When the man touches one little thing it becomes gold. You sell
water and become a millionaire and build a house. It means God had opened the
womb of blessing. There is somebody here tonight the womb of blessing shall be
opened unto him. (Amen!)
You know the story. Some of you knew the story of a young
man. Everything went wrong. All of his machines refused to work. He owed so much
when his friends saw him coming they run., They don't
want him to pay what he is owing but they don't want him to borrow more. No food
on the house; children hungry and the wife, well she couldn't take it any longer
– sitting down and the children saying, mama we are hungry! Mama we are hungry!
And there's nothing to eat. Nobody to borrow from…The wife lost her mind. She
became mad. And since the man had no money to take her to hospital he went and
dumped her with one herbalist. That was his situation when we met., We went to hold a program there and she way laid us. You
can't go! You can't go! You have to solve this problem before you go! And when
he told me the story I told him to set forth his hands, I laid my hands on his
hands. I prayed a simple prayer. When you get home, lay the hand on your wife, lay the hand on your machine, whatever you touch now
will begin to prosper. And he went in faith and went straight to the herbalists
house and laid his hands on the wife and the wife jerked like somebody waking up
from a dream and said, Ah, what am I doing here! The husband said, the thing is working! All
of you here tonight, beginning from now! Whatever you touch will prosper.
(Amen!) So he ran home and laid his hands on the machines! All the machines that
had refused to work, every one of them jumped back to
work. When I saw him next he was riding a brand new 505. The womb of blessing
shall be opened to somebody here tonight .(Amen!)
But God can shut the womb of blessings. When He does things
dry up. The same Ephraim who became 10 times bigger than his brother, when he
became rich He forgot God. God kept sending to him: Ephraim, we are friends, I
love you, I did this for you, I did that for you, don't do this … eehhh let me enjoy myself. Finally God said, in Hosea 4:17
God said, Ephraim has joined himself to idols, leave him alone and God said in
Hosea 5A;9 He said Ephraim shall be desolate. When I
prospered you, you forgot mer. I have the key, I can open, I can shut. I pray for you – the blessing that is coming your
way will not take you away from God. (Amen!).
I've told you the story before. I'm just reminding those of
you who have heard it. We were small, all of us we couldn't even build one small
church at Ebute-Metta and the man of God came from
America and was ministering to us.
All of a sudden he stopped and pointed at a brother and said Thus says the Lord,
if you will worship me I will make you a millionaire. He said, Amen. I mean all
of us were looking at the man of God to see if he will point at us too. But he
just spoke to that one man and continued. We were a little bit jealous. In 6
months – this was a man who himself, his wife, his five children were living in
one little room and a parlour. Within 6 months he's
bought a Mercedes-Benz car; 505 for hi wife. He's moved first of all to a flat,
then he moved to a big house and then ewe didn't see him in church any more.
Ahh brother, I was there when God said, If you will
worship me I will make you a millionaire., He heard on
the part I will make you a millionaire he didn't remember the other one. Why
don't we see you in church? Oh it's business. Last Sunday I was in Geneva. The other Sunday I
was in Edinburgh. The one before that I was in
Philadelphia. Is
that so? It is now the Sunday when you are supposed to be worshipping God that
is now for business meeting? Ohh no I pray!, I pray! Then God decided to shut the door. I suddenly
heard that this young man had a heart attack. I sent people to pray for him and
told him when he's well he should come and see me. He got well and came. How can
you have heart attack? You are a young man! They gave him a contract at the time
they were building Abuja and there was an
agreement that if he gets the work to a certain level, I think they were
going to pay him 200 million naira. At that time naira was naira. That's true.
Two weeks before it got to that level, they cancelled the contract. That's when
he had the heart attack. He has the key of David. When He opens no man can shut.
When He shuts no man can open. I said to him, my son, it's all right. You just
remember what He said: If you will worship Him. Return to Him. Nobody else will
take that contract. Return! Instead of
returning he left the contract. The door that God will open unto you today, what
you will do to cause Him to shut it you will never do it again. (Amen!)
Thank You Father! The Lord said there is someone here tonight, He said you are making progress. Small progress, painful progress. He said but from tonight
your progress will be rapid and painless. (Amen!)
What about poverty? Poverty has womb. When God shuts the womb
of poverty you will just discover that you will never lack again. God has a way
fo taking somebody beyond the boundary of poverty
once and for
all. In 2 Kings 4:1-7 there was a widow who had been in debt for as long as she
can remember until one day the creditors said if you don'[t pay by tomorrow we
will sell your children! She cried to God. God turned the tide and she never
borrowed again. People find it difficult to believe that as near as 1985 when we
moved to this camp, when my wife and I began to live on this camp, there was a
toll gate in Lagos there. The toll fee was one naira to; on
naira fro. There were days when my wife and I could not go to Lagos because we did not
have 2 naira! No two naira to pay the toll fee! And I used to comfort my wife
then: there must be accident that wants to happen on the way. That's why there
is no money. The truth is poverty! Thank God, that is gone forever! (Amen!) One
day you will stand before the congreagrion and say, I
don't know poverty ever again. If you believe that let me hear you shout
Alleluia! (Alleluia!)
In other words when God opens the womb of wealth, all of a
sudden poverty becomes a stranger,. In Exodus 12:35-36
the children of Israel who had been in poverty for
more than 400 years, in one single night, they became absolutely wealthy. It
took God only one night. Tekll your neighbour. I think this is my night. I know this is
my night.
There was a young man I knew him not long ago. About 9 yearsa gao was when I first met him. He was so poor that poor
people will probably call him poor. But he loved the Lord. He was ready to do
anything for the Lord. One day IO saw his zeal for God and I was prompted to
prophesy to him. I said, God very soon hyou will rmember your years of poverty as a bad dream that is gone
forever. Last year, I saw a young man standing beside a Mercedes S cl;ass. I looked at hima nd said are you driving for
somebody now. He smiled and said look at the special plate number. That special
number is my name! The car is my own! Very soon, somebody here who cannot even
pay his rent, you will say, Daddy, look at this house it is my own! (Amen!) SO
shall it be in Jesus' Name! (Amen!)
What about breakthroughs? Breakthroughs have womb…..
Thank You Father! The
Lord said there is someone here tonight, They said your
file is closed. God say I will reopen it. Ami
Thank You Daddy! The Lord said there is a woman here, you always miscarry after 3 months. He asked me tot
tell you – no more! No more!
When God opens the womb of victories one breakthrough will
begin to follow another. The story of Peter that we read in Luke 5:1-11 Peter
had one breakthrough that he caught a lot of fish but other breakthroughs
followed. He was promoted form fisherman to fisher of men. He moved from there , preached one sermon and won 3,000 souls. Preached another sermon, 5,000 souls. Preached another one
multitudes came! There is somebody here tonight. Even asyou are celebrating one breakthrough two others will
follow quickly. (Amen!)
I've told you the story. 1979 I think, we went to Tulsa for Kenneth Hagin camp
meeting and then on one particular day they said they want to raise offering for
their Bible
College. And one man got up
and called his wife. They talked and then he went to the altar and took the
microphone and said, I want to tell everyone of you here present : whatever you all give, that is what my wife and I
will give. Ahh! And there were 17,000 of us!!! And you
know human beings. We said, you are in trouble. All of us together? So what we didn’t want to give before we
gave, to get him into trouble! Then they added everything together. 3.5 million
dollars. We said , heh, heh? He took the microphone and said, Brethren, is that all
you can do? God is talking to someone here. So I said,
this man knows something that I don't know. I'm going to find out. As soon as we
finished the service, I went to see him. Tell me your secret! Oh he said , it is very simple. Five years ago, I started a
business with five hundred dollars and I reached an agreement with God. God, I
will not insult you by giving you 10%. I will give You 90. I will keep 10% of
the profit. And when God heard that, He said, is that so boy? Then I will show
you. Now, five years later I am worth 50 million dollars so I know what I am
doing. You give what you want. I give the same. God multiplies it by 100 and
gives it back to me. A day is coming very soon when one of you will come to me
and say daddy, how much will the Congress cost. Just tell me! Don't bother about
anything - just
tell me! Who am I talking to here tonight? Let me hear you say 'Amen!' loud and
clear.
Ohhh Thank You Lord! The Lord said
there is someone here tonight, He said, I should just tell you, I am bigger than
your problem – bigger than your problem…. (Amen!)
Intelligence has it's own womb. When
God opens the womb of intelligence, all of a sudden you become so clever people
cannot understand,. In 2 Chronicles 1:6-12, when
Solomon asked for wisdom and God released it to him, he
became the wisest man who ever lived. Students, your prayers should be: God open
the womb of intelligence to me. There are people who read the same thing you are
reading and by the time they've read it once or twice, they've got it all. When
we were in school we used to say oh that fellow has photographic brain. If some people could have photographic brain, why not you.
And it is all in God's hands.
I've told you the story before.. I
said I would tell you stories tonight…
…teachers said it was impossible they said even if we give
him the answers to copy, he will copy it wrong. So they asked him to do the exam
again and he scored higher. There is a student here today in the mighty name of
Jesus Christ he will never fail another examination. (Amen!) And when God shuts
the womb of intelligence then people you think should be clever begin to do
stupid things. In Exodus 124:21-23 the Bible says Moses raised up his hand the
Red Sea opened and the children of Israel went on dry land and the
Egyptians followed. Have you ever thought about that? You are pursuing a people.
Their God opened a door in the belly of the sea? Any intelligent fellow will say
no go, go, go~ But God locked the womb of their intelligence – that's why they
followed! Every enemy that followed you here tonight you're never going to see
them again. (Amen!)
What about opportunity? Opportunity has womb. When God opens opportunity, you just
discover opportunity coming right, left and centre! In 1 Kings 17:8-16 a widow
was gathering sticks to prepare the last meal when all of a sudden an
opportunity came and the Man of God said to her, Give me the food first then
after that you can prepare your own. It was the opportunity of a lifetime. The
woman grabbed it and there was enough food for her, her son throughout the
famine. Opportunities happen that God can open. The Almighty God is going to
open the womb of opportunities to you from today. (Amen!)
I've told you before - The young man came when I was a
lecturer at the University of Ilorin. I'd just joined. They
gave me a house but there are some electrical works to be done. One of my
friends here traveled down, an electrician, and helped me put everything right.
When he finished I said what am I to pay? He said, Daddy, I have no money for
transport back. Give me the money for transport back and pray for me. That was a
great opportunity for him. He needed money, he could have charged me but he
decided to use it as an opportunity to serve God. I said to him, you don't need
prayer, you are already blessed. And he said Amen! I gave him the money for
transport. He came back to Lagos and as he was coming back he saw a friend
that he had not seen for years: Where are you now? That one said, I 'm working at Dodan Barracks
what about you? Oh, I'm an electrical contractor. Come we have job! Within
one month my friend was riding a brand new vehicle. I don't know who I am
talking to but there is somebody who came here tonight, having to catch a bus,
before the end of the year you'll be carrying people to the Holy Ghost Service
in your vehicle! (Amen!)
O Thank You Father! The Lord said there is someone here
tonight,, he said up till today, when you take one step
forward you take two steps backward – one little success, great failures! The
Lord asked me to tell you He will reverse that tonight. (Amen!)
When the door of opportunity is shut, problems follow. I
pray, that from tonight, the womb of opportunity will
be open wide unto you. (Amen!)
What about anointing? Because I know that there are some of
us here who are not interested in business. All we are interested in is
anointing. Anointing has womb. When God opens the womb of anointing, your body
will be carrying high voltage, divine electricity. In Judges 15:14, the Bible
says Samson was bound and brought before his enemies but the womb of anointing
was opened. The Bible said, the Spirit of God came down mightily upon him and
the rope that bound him cut itself as if it were something that caught fire
There is something called anointing, the real thing, the original one, it will
begin to operate in your life from now on in Jesus' Name! (Amen!)
I remember years ago when I was younger and I didn't have as
much wisdom as I have now. If we are to use spiritual language, I was coming
down from the mountain and I went to visit my friend in Ibadan. They were not expecting me
but they had the sound of the car, came out, I went into the sitting room. I think
it was the husband
that first saw me, that
first came out and tried to embrace me. Ah!! Daddy! The anointing hit
him and he collapsed on the floor. And the wife came
too, didn't look on the ground, or she thought probably the husband was greeting
me or something – Ah Daddy… the anointing hit her she fell on the ground too.
And there's nobody else in the house and I was sitting down! Husband and wife on
the ground!!! And the husband, almost one hour! I was praying - God, don't
let anyone come! That's called
anointing! What happened to the anointing? It's still there it's just that now
we know how to control it. That day before we knew how to put it under control I
remember very well, there was a group of us and we just wanted to pray. I said, let's
join hands. Big circle, one fellow on the right and one fellow
on the left. And the womb of anointing was opened. The fellow on the
right screamed, the one on the left screamed. Then, at that time, I didn't know
how to control it, but that anointing is till there. It's only that we know how
to control it now because we began to see certain things. Some people, because
they saw that when we laid hands on people those days they will just be
falling… so they said we too can do it,
so when they want to pray for you they hold your head and begin to push you. I
said Lord, I don't want part of that one. Heal them
without my touching them. Let the power go as the Word is going forward, after
all it is written, he sent his Word and healed them.
Tonight in the name of the one who sent me, every problem in your life will
disappear. (Amen!)
O Thank You Father!
The Lord said there is someone here tonight,, He said I
should tell you, your miracle can no longer be delayed. (Amen!)
What about death?
Death has womb. When God shut the womb of death there will be no burial.
In Mark 5:35-44 Jairus' daughter was dead but she
couldn't be buried because Jesus took her by the hand and said, Little girl I say to you, arise! And death couldn't eat that
one. In Luke 7:11-15 a widow was going to bury her only son. Jesus met her on
the way! And said, No, no, don’t go! Young man - come back! Every one that the
enemy had decided to kill, because you came tonight the womb of death is shut in
Jesus' Name! (Amen!)
Thank You Father! The Lord said I should add, everyone who hears the sound of my voice, either here
tonight or by tape, in the Name of the One who is called the Resurrection and
the Life, the womb of death is shut in Jesus' Name! (Amen!) Thank You Daddy!
I think I told you the story. A young man came to me and
said, I have a problem. I said, What is the problem? He said in our family no man ever
exceeds the age of 40. I said , that is a problem.
He said, I've not finished. The big thing is that now I
am 39, so I am the oldest person in the family. 40 is
coming now. In other words the boy is saying, I have
less than a year to go! So we cried to the Almighty God and asked Him to shut
the womb of death! That's more than 10 years ago. That man is still alive today!
Every one of you that the enemy has planned death for, in the mighty Name of
Jesus you shall live! (Amen!) I say, you shall live! (Amen!) You shall live!
(Amen!) I say, you shall live! (Amen!) I say, you shall live! (Amen!) I say, you
shall live! (Amen!) You shall live and not die! Glory be to God!
When the Almighty God decided to open the womb of grave, even
the grave gave birth to a living child. When He first stood by the grave yard of
Lazarus and said Lazarus, come forth! the one who had
been in the womb of the grave for four days came out alive. I am speaking to a
woman here tonight, they probably have told you that your womb is dead, tell
them out of the dead shall come my twins. (Amen!) Your dead bones shall live again. (Amen!)
When God opens the womb of a woman, babies begin to jump out.
1 Samuel 2:21 after God opened the womb of Hannah with Samuel, five others
followed! I say five others. For those of you that the world has been calling
barren, because of the One who lives forever, one day they'll be counting your
children: 1,2,3,4,5,6 If you believe that let me hear you shout Alleluia!
(Alleluia!)
So what do I do so that God can open the door of fruitfulness
to me? I want you to note the following. Open doors to fruitfulness begins with
divine visitation, to open a door, the one who has the key must come. Jesus came
to the Lake of
Gennasereth, He came there to visit Peter. The Almighty God will visit you
tonight. (Amen!) How do I know? When I asked you to begin to praise Him, about 3
hours ago, Oh I was so delighted because I saw the way you did it – nobody had
to force you, nobody had to compel you! It was even difficult for some of you to
stop! And when you praise Him, He comes. He's seeking for those who will worship
Him, so when He finds a worshipper, He comes.
Open doors to breakthrough begin by divine visitation
followed by divine choice. God chose the boat of Peter,
He will choose your own boat tonight! (Amen!) Because He said, I will be
merciful unto whom I will be merciful, He will be merciful to you tonight.
(Amen!)
And then when we talk about Peter surrendering His boat, the
boat did not really belong to Peter, the boat belonged to God. The Bible says
the earth is the Lord's and the fullness thereof. Your body belongs to God, your womb belongs to God. The only thing is don't deny
Him of what belongs to Him. The Bible says your body is the temple of the Holy
Spirit. Don't misuse that body. You want Him to give you babies but God says
stop committing adultery. Your body must be kept holy,
it must be kept as a living sacrifice to the Almighty God.
You want God to open the womb of blessing? Don't forget rob
Him of His tithe. He himself said that if you bring all the tithes into His
house, He will open the windows of heaven and pour in a blessing, He will open the womb of blessing and pour in one
for you that there will not be enough room to receive it. Don't rob Him of His
first fruits because He said on Proverbs 3:9-10…
Thank You Father! Thank You Father! Thank You Father!
Alleluia! (Alleluia!) The Lord asked me to tell you a story and probably, I've
told it only once before. Listen carefully to the story because there is
something big God wants to do here tonight.
I think it was 1956 or 1957 I was staying with an uncle of
mine who is a drummer. And he was a very poor drummer, whenever he had no money,
there's no food for him, there's no food for me. One day we were very hungry. We
were hungry! No money, no food, nothing! We didn't know where the food will come
from. Suddenly one girl came in carrying a tray. Inside the tray was pounded yam and a good stew of meat. She said, looking at
my uncle: My sister said to go and give it to you. My uncle said, Who is your sister? She gave the name. My uncle said, I don't know anybody by that name. My sister said I should
give it to you! Okay, greet her. So she put down the food and left. As soon as
she left, within two minutes we had finished and then the girl came back and
said, I'm sorry, I brought it to the wrong house! We had already finished the
pounded yam!
Why did the Lord ask me to tell you the story? The Lord said
there is someone here tonight, I will divert a miracle
to you…. Lift your hands to the Almighty God. I will divert a miracle to you, a
miracle that is not even your own! I will divert a miracle to you! Blessed be
His Holy name! Thank You Father! I want to magnify Your Holy Name! Thank You
Father! Thank You because You will divert a miracle to
me. I thank You! I bless Your Holy name! I bless Your
Holy name! I bless Your Holy name! I bless Your Holy name! Thank You Father!
Glory be to God! Thank You Father! In Jesus' mighty
Name! Thank You Father! Thank You Lord!
Now I was saying, if you honour Him with your first fruits He said He will upon the
womb of blessing. He said your storehouse will burst. That's what He said. What
must I do so that God will open the womb of blessing.
Serve Him until He will say thank you!
That's what He did for Peter He said, I need your boat. Peter said, You are welcome sir! He said, Push away from the land. Yes
Lord. And He sat down in the boat and began to preach. Peter stood there,
patiently, until He finished His preaching and then He now said, I boy decide to
say thank you. Launch into the deep, throw your net to the right.
God knows where your fish are gathered. He knows where you
breakthroughs are. He knows how many children He can give you – He has millions
of them. He is the owner of silver and gold! There's nothing that you can ask
for Him that is too much! I've told you before, after I became General Overseer
and I left my mansion in Ilorin to come and live in a room in Mushin, Father build me a house! He
said, Son, don't ask me for a house because I've decided to give you a city.
That's what He said. I didn't understand Him. Now I do.
What is it you want from Him. All
you have to do is say thank you! Thank Him until He would say thank you! I
remember the story. I went to Port
Harcourt several years ago. The Pastor there arranged for
one man to be driving me about. Very big man, Mercedes
280. He was driving me everywhere. At the end of the trip when he brought
me to the airport, looking as if I can't possibly give him money because I know
he has much more than I have but I want to say thank you. So I said Please sir,
help me give this to your children. So he took the money and began to say Amen,
Amen! Amen! And I was surprised What's going on so I
turned to the Pastor What? The Pastor said, He has no
child. Ahhh But now he has – now he has because
the money I said should be given to his children. The following year I was
visiting Port
Harcourt again, As I was coming
down from the plane, the same man was there with his car to receive me and a
gift in his hands. He said, this is from my first
child. Everyone of you here tonight, next Convention,
in the mighty name of Jesus Christ, you will dance forward with your own
miracle. (Amen!) With service unto God we say thank You.
Thank You Father! The Lord says there's someone here tonight,
He said I shoud tell you the day you share your
testimony everybody will stand up and clap. I receive that one myself.
(Amen!)
Finally, finally, follow Jesus diligently. If Peter had not
followed Jesus he would have had only one breakthrough but when he got to land
he forsook all and followed him and that's why he moved from one breakthrough to
another; one breakthrough to another. Follow Jesus diligently. Now some of us,
once we get a miracle from God we don't come again. No, no, no, no! What He has
given you is just the first one. There are others, there are others. Stay with
Him! Stay close to Him!. I know some people here they
have never missed a Holy Ghost Service and when you look at them, where they
were ten years ago is not where they are now because every month, God keeps
pushing them up and up and up.
When I became General Overseer in 1981 - We were very few
then - I used to see people from morning to evening. One day the members began
to complain: Ah why? When strangers come they go in and you see them. We who are
the members we have to wait. I said, Ahhh. Don't
complain. These people come to take a bucket from the river. You are the owner
of the river! You are living by the river. You can swim in the river. You can
drink from the river, wash your clothes in the river.
When you sit by Jesus said, when you follow Him all the
way, in the morning you get a miracle, in the afternoon you get another one, in
the evening you get another one. When you are sleeping you get one – follow
Jesus always.
Let's stand on our feet. I believe I've done my job tonight.
There might be one or two people tonight who have not even surrendered to this
Jesus. Come quickly, you don't need to be begged tonight. Even a dead man knows
that God is here tonight. Come and surrender your life to Him. Let Him save your
soul. Let Him bring about a change in you. Come very quickly because time has
gone. I will count one to ten. If you are not here by 10 I know you don't want
to come. Come let Him open the door of salvation to you and everything will
change for you. 1…2…3…4…. 5…. This is your hour of salvation, the gates of mercy
are open now; the womb of salvation is open now. Come and surrender your life to
Him. Let Him save your soul. The moment your sins are gone everything becomes
new – come quickly now. 7 now Come from all over the place, come and surrender
you r life to Him. 8 now. He's calling you because He
wants to be merciful unto you. He wants to be merciful unto you. Come to Him
now. Come quickly! 9.. now
Now those of us who have already come, let us begin to pray
and call on the Almighty God to save our souls, have mercy on us! Forgive all my
sins Lord and I will serve you for the rest of my life and I will follow you all
of the way, all the way! Just have mercy on me tonight! Save my soul!
Those of you who are still coming, keep coming. Hurry
up, hurry up! Make sure you get here before I finish praying. Stretch your hands
towards these people and pray for them that God will be merciful to them
And pray for them. Ask that the Almighty God will be merciful
to them, that God will save their souls, that He will forgive all their sins;
that everything will become new for them! Pry for them brethren! Pray for them!
Pray for them! Pray for them! For those of you in front - cry to God! Please
Lord! Have mercy on me! Have mercy on me! Have mercy on me O Lord! Forgive all
my sins and I will follow You all the day s of my life.
I will follow you all the days of my life! Come quickly those of you who are
still coming because we are about to pray. We are about to pray now! we are about to pray! we are about
to pray! Thank You Jesus! In Jesus' mighty Name we have prayed!
Eternal Rock of Ages! we bless Your
Holy Name for Your Word that has gone forth tonight and I thank you for these
people who have come forward. Please Almighty God have
mercy on them in Jesus' Name! (Amen!) Receive them in Jesus' Name! (Amen!)
Forgive them in Jesus' Name! (Amen!) Wipe away all their sins with Your Blood in
Jesus' Name! (Amen!) Write their name s in the Book of Life in Jesus' Name!
(Amen!) Beginning from now let everything become new for them in Jesus' Name!
(Amen!)! Thank You my Father! In Jesus' mighty Name we have prayed! (Amen!)
Amen!
Now I want to rejoice with those of you who have come forward
and I want to make you a promise. From tonight onwards, I’ll be praying for you
and you will see the result of my prayer. So I’m going to need your name, your
address and your prayer request. Those of you who are
still coming, hurry up! So follow this brother, he will take you where the
pastors are waiting. They will collect this information from you, bring it to me
and then they will bring you back here. Let’s begin to go now…. Let’s give the
Lord a big hand…
Alleluia! Amen! I don’t know about you but I am confident God
wants me to remember tonight for the rest of my life. Though I will still be
coming back later on for us to pray more
I want you to stand on your feet and just thank him that you are even here
tonight. That you are even here at all tonight on this very special night, I
want you to bless the name of the Lord. Bless the Name of the Lord! You will
never borrow again in Jesus' Name!
Hannah’s day came. It was because she was praying like she
had never prayed before. There are prayers you pray as if to say to God , well if You answer fine, if You don’t answer fine! But
there are some prayers that you pray that God Himself will know – oh I must
answer this fellow! For some few minutes tonight we want to pray the kind of
prayer that will move heavens. Because I know some of us are tired of
barrenness, whether physical, material or spiritual. I am tired of poverty for
example. I don’t know about you. I didn’t hear you! I’m tired of failure! I am
tired of defeat. I don’t want to weep again. For those of us who really are
determined that this night something must happen – we want to pray.
We want to pray the kind of prayer that a woman will pray
I the labour room. There they
don’t pray like ladies and gentlemen. They pray in such a way that everybody
will know they are praying. It is possible for God to do anything that He wants
to do today. When the, mother of Jesus came to Him in the wedding in Cana of Gallilee - they said they
had no wine, Jesus said,woman
why are you worrying me – it is not my time. But that day, the time came. The
time is coming for someone here tonight.
I just want us to pray for few minutes! I want you to stand
on your feet. If you are too old to stand then go on your knees. That is if you
are too old to stand but this is not the time to fall asleep….. I am serving a
God of miracle, I know, yes I know….Alleluia!
I want you to cry to the Almighty God and say Father, open the womb of miracles to me tonight! Call on the
Almighty God! Father, Adeboye is calling on you
tonight – open the womb of miracles to me tonight! Womb of miracles! Signs and
wonders! Open the womb of miracles for me tonight! In Jesus' mighty Name we have
prayed! (Amen!)
We have just learnt that success has its womb, breakthrough
has its womb, progress has its womb, Talk to God and say Father, open the
womb of success to me! Open the womb of progress to me! Open the womb of
breakthroughs to me! Go ahead! Talk to the Almighty God! You have the key O
Lord! Open the womb, open the womb! The womb of breakthrough! The womb of
progress, the womb of victory – open the womb tonight In Jesus' mighty Name we
have prayed! (Amen!)
He can never, never, never fail x
3ce. Jesus reigneth forever…..
Lift your voice to Him. Father, I know You can’t fail! Don’t let my own be impossible with you! Lift
your voice and talk to Him! I know You can’t fail! I
know You won’t fail! In Jesus' mighty Name we have
prayed! (Amen!)
You
know the areas where you are barren, maybe it is health or it is
the area of poverty or lack of promotion
or failure in examination or failure in
life or lack of a future partner. You know where you are barren. Go to God now –
forget everybody. Say I have prayed before but now this is different, answer me
tonight! Lord! Answer me tonight! Call on Him! Open your mouth and call on Him!
This one is different O Lord! Help me! Help me! Have mercy on me! Let this night
be my turning point! Help me Lord! I have nowhere else to go, why should the
world say where is my God?
Thank You Father! In Jesus' mighty Name we have prayed!
(Amen!) Now I want you to join hands with your neighbour. Pray for your neighbour
now and just say Father, help this your child! Give him
what he wants. Go on talk to the Almighty God. Give him what he wants! Lord Give
him what he wants! Help him! My Lord and
my Saviour have mercy! help
him! Look down with mercy on Your child! Help him! Help
him! Help him! King of Glory help him! Unchangeable
changer, help him! Help him! My Lord and my Saviour
help him! Help him! help him Lord! Help him! Have mercy
on him! Have mercy on him! Help him! King of Glory help
him! Help him! Be merciful unto him
Lord, help him, help him! Help him Lord, give him what
he wants. Bless him Lord! Release to him what he wants, be merciful. Help him
Lord! He can’t help himself so help him
Lord! You are the help of the helpless Lord, help Your
child! Be merciful to him Lord! Let him receive mercy tonight! Thank You my
Lord! Amen!
And then before I pray for you, I want you to pray for me
too. I need help. Pray for me! Stretch your hands towards me and wish me
whatever you wish yourself! …….. Thank You Father! In Jesus' mighty Name we have
prayed! (Amen!)
Father, we want to bless Your Holy name!. We want to give You all glory and
honour tonight because we know it is impossible for
You to fail. Accept our thanks in Jesus' Name! (Amen!) Father, every sin that
stands between them and their miracle, forgive in Jesus' Name! (Amen!) Daddy,
tonight open the doors of blessing to these Your
children. (Amen!) Open the womb of all the barren in Jesus' Name! (Amen!) Open
the womb of fruitfulness to them in Jesus' Name! (Amen!) All those who are poor,
open the womb of wealth to them in Jesus' Name! (Amen!) All those who are stagnant, open the womb of
progress to them in Jesus' Name! (Amen!) Everyone of us
here tonight open the womb of breakthrough to us in Jesus' Name! (Amen!) Open
the womb of anointing to us in Jesus' Name! (Amen!) Father, I know You can’t fail. Help Your children
in Jesus' Name! (Amen!)… Thank You Father! Glory be to
Your Holy Name! In Jesus' mighty Name we have prayed! (Amen!) Let somebody now
shout Alleluia! (Alleluia!) God bless you! You may be seated!
GOD BLESS YOU!!!!
