FRUITFULNESS 6th of September, 2002

Let’s go on our knees before Him and just continue to worship Him! He is worthy to be praised! Thank You Father!

Now I want you to help me prophesy to seven people. At least seven. Shake hands with them and tell them: I will rejoice with you soon. I will rejoice with you soon. I will rejoice with you soon. I will rejoice with you soon. I will rejoice with you soon. I will rejoice with you soon. Alleluia! If you believe that put your hands together for the Almighty God and make a joyful noise unto the Almighty God! Alleluia! Glory be to God! Thank You Jesus! God bless you, you may be seated!

We have a wonderful night ahead of us in Jesus’ Name (Amen!) As we continue with our series reversing the irreversible. Tonight is part three but it is just the conclusion of the introduction. We will begin the real topic as from next month in Jesus Name! (Amen!)

When He was asking Jeremiah, "I am the God of all flesh, is there any thing too hard for me?" He knows that Jeremiah knows that in Genesis God had asked the same question before from a woman called Sarah who was ninety years old and God said you are going to have a baby and Sarah laughed. And God said to Sarah "Is there anything too hard for the Lord?" And within a year, within a year the answer became clear; that there was nothing too hard for the Lord. And there is somebody here tonight God is asking you … "is there anything too hard for me?" Let me hear the answer loud and clear.

I am going to give you a lot of testimonies tonight if the Almighty God allows. Some of you probably heard the story before. I was a lecturer then at the University of Ilorin. And then one of my sons came, to help me fix the electricity in the quarters they allocated to me. And when he finished I said, "How much am I going to pay?" He said sir, "I won’t ask you for any money, but I have no money myself. I need money to travel back to Lagos. Just give me enough money for transport back to Lagos, and pray for me." I gave him the money." He said, "pray!" I said, "There is no need. You are already blessed. Just go … you are already blessed. You did this for me as a child of God … forget it … go home." I came back to Lagos four weeks later. Four weeks later and he has already bought a brand new car. (Amen!) I am saying to somebody here tonight you are already blessed. (Amen!) I better hear your ''Amen' loud and clear. (Amen!)

He said "I am the God of all flesh, is there any thing too hard for me?" What was He saying here? He is saying all flesh must obey me. All flesh must obey me; because I am the God of all flesh. And I am saying to somebody here today. "Your head will obey God." (Amen!) Your eyes will obey God. (Amen!) Your brain will obey God. (Amen!) Your womb will obey God. (Amen!) Your backbone will obey God. (Amen!) If you believe that let me hear you shout 'Amen' loud and clear. (Amen!)

He saw that today I am going to stand before you and He decided to take care of me then; so that I can come to you and tell you about this testimony.

And all of a sudden out of nowhere I just saw a little white dog. And it began to wag its tail as if to say follow me. Then I followed the dog and the dog lead me until I got to my sisters farm. When I got there I entered into the hut then my sister was surprised. How did you get here? Who showed you the way? I said I was following a dog. She said which dog? There is no dog in this farm. And we came out there was no dog. That God who sent a dog to lead a little child out of the jungle, He is going to lead you to your miracle tonight. (Amen!) I said He will lead you to your miracle tonight. (Amen!) Thank you Father!

The Lord said there is someone here tonight. Your voice had been fading. Your voice had been fading. Your voice had been fading. And you are worried about something in your throat. He asked me to tell you. You can shout. You can shout. You can sing because your voice is restored now. (Amen!) Thank you Father. Glory be to God!

The Lord said there is someone here; you can’t swing your body because of acute waist pain. He ask me to tell you. You can swing as much as you can, because that pain is gone forever now. (Amen!) Let somebody shout Alleluia! (Alleluia!)

He said: I am the God of all flesh, is there anything too hard for me? Fish obey Him because fish is flesh. Birds obey Him because bird is flesh. Lions obey Him. You know the story of Daniel very well because lion is flesh. Lion is flesh.

I think somebody will have to come and help this brother tonight. One of you people come. Come and help daddy. Let them come and help. Come hurry up; come. Glory be to God. He has been doing this thing now for so many years. I think we should give him a big hand. He is doing a great work. Give the Lord a big hand. Glory be to God! You think interpretation is an easy thing. Come on give the Lord a big hand for our Pastor. Glory be to God!

Lion is flesh. I hope I wouldn’t have to change another one tonight. May the Almighty God lay hands on all my interpreters. It is not their fault, the anointing is so heavy tonight. And because flesh must obey Him that is why every womb that is considered dead must come alive tonight. (Amen!) Every tube that has been blocked must be unblocked tonight. (Amen!) Every fibroid must dissolve tonight. (Amen!)

One of my pastors - he wasn’t a pastor then - came to my office. He said: Sir, I need a child. I have been married for so long. I have no child. I said, Is that so? What do you want to start with - boy or girl? Ah he said "Boy", but then he looked at me and said, "You haven’t even asked question. You just said what do you want?" I said "Yes, What do you want?" He said, "Boy." Nine months later the boy came. I am asking somebody here tonight: What do you want first? Boy or girl? A boy and a girl? Two boys and one girl? Three boys and one girl? So shall it be in Jesus Name! (Amen!)

It doesn’t matter how bad the situation. Even if everything had reduced to dust. All He has to do is breath. At least some of you have heard the testimony of a man who left his wife who had already four children and went to join a woman who already had five children for five different men. And the wife came, "Please pray for me. My husband left me with four children, pray that he will come back."

O Glory be to God! The Lord said there is a woman here … your husband has given you a letter of divorce; Daddy asked me to tell you, He has torn it. My Daddy said it is already torn!

Now, so this woman said pray for me that my husband may come back. I said don’t worry yourself, he will come and beg you. He will come and beg you. "No, no, no I’m not asking him to come and beg. Just ask him to come back!" I said just take the word of God for it. And the Almighty God started. He started a quarrel between the husband and this strange woman and during the quarrel, the strange woman said to him, "Stupid man. If you are not stupid, you left your wife and four children at home, and you come and live with me with five children for five different men. Stupid man!" And so the man said "that’s true O, I must be stupid!" and so he ran back home. When he knocked at the door and the wife opened the door. He fell on his face and said take me back. Every thing the devil has stolen from you shall be restored by force in Jesus Name! (Amen!) I said it shall be restored by force in Jesus Name! (Amen!) All the years that you have lost; all the years that you have wasted - my Father shall reverse the irreversible for you tonight. (Amen!) Thank You Father.

You probably have heard the story of the man. We were still in the old auditorium. We had Holy Ghost Service like this.

Thank you Father. Somebody said, somebody had sharp pain in the eyes. They said that is gone now and it won’t return.

There was this young man; they just sacked him in his place of work - for doing nothing. And he tried and tried he couldn’t get back. And we were there, I remember, in the old auditorium. And the word of God came and said "There is somebody here, He said somebody close to you is about to die. He said don’t be sad because he is the one blocking your way." I think a week later the Father of that boy died. A week later they recalled him to his place of work and promoted him. Anyone! Any relative no matter how close that is blocking your way God will deal with the fellow tonight. (Amen!) If you believe that, let me hear you say Amen loud and clear. (Amen!)

So they woke up Jesus, "Master we are about to perish, do something!" He woke up and said "What’s the problem?" "Can’t you see the storm?" He said, " The storm is no problem. I’m in your boat. I told you we are crossing over to the other side. I didn’t say we are going to the bottom of the sea." "Eh but look at the storm!", so He said "peace be still." And suddenly the storm fell asleep. Every storm in your storm as the Almighty God lives. Whether it is a financial storm! Or marital storm! Or mental storm! Or spiritual storm; shall fall asleep tonight in Jesus Name! (Amen!) Every storm shall fall asleep, (Amen!) because all He needs to speak is one word. Even the wind and the sea obey Him.

Some of you probably heard me share the testimony. Years ago, when I use to visit University of Ibadan every month to go and do Bible study in the house of one of our professors. A time came the group began to grow, and the seating room couldn’t contain us any more. So we moved to the backyard. Then one day as we were about to start the programme the rain came. The whole place was filled with cloud and the wind was blowing and we have just settled down in the open. And the sitting room can’t contain us. So they all looked at me and they said what are we going to do? I said the rain wouldn’t disturb us. The rain wouldn’t disturb us. And you know what? it rained everywhere, in the entire campus, but it left the backyard of the Professor. If you don’t believe me, the professor is here. Where are you? Let me hear you shout Alleluia! He is there. Tonight there may be problem everywhere but it won’t come to your house. I didn’t hear you say Amen to that one. (Amen!)

God can cause fire to burn and He can tell fire not to burn. Let me give you another example, I am telling you stories you can check. We had a programme at UI …. I am giving examples because there are living testimonies here. We had a wonderful programme. Several souls were saved. There was a lot of rejoicing. And so the devil was mad and what did he do? He got some kegs of petrol at night and poured it at the Chapel and set it on fire. And you know when you put fire to petrol what will happen? Nobody was there. we had all gone away. He put fire to petrol, the fire burnt for few seconds and went out. Chapel is still standing there. The petrol was still there on the ground when the people came the following morning. All the fire that the enemy has built round you; they will go out on their own tonight in Jesus Name! (Amen!)

Eh, let me give you one or two examples. There is a great man of God some of you never heard about. But he was preaching to some soldiers. And they all said to him….. He was preaching in a country where they said they don’t believe in God….. . And they said to him, all right we wouldn’t kill you. Your God said if drink any deadly thing it won’t harm you. That’s all, it is your God who will settle the matter. This is a cup of acid. You drink it, if you don’t die, we will surrender to your God. If you die we are not the one who killed you; it is your God who killed you. He said "no, no, no God didn’t say I’m to go and drink acid." "Eh no, no, no don’t back out you said the word of God said if you drink any deadly thing; it won’t harm you. Acid is deadly, you drink it, you don’t die then we will follow your God." So the man of God fell on his knees, "O God I am not trying You. I am not tempting You. These people said whether I like it or not I must drink this acid. Prove Yourself. And if You think this is the best way for me come home it is okay." So he took the cup, blessed it in the Name of the Lord and drank it. Five minutes, ten, fifteen, one hour and he was healthy. Somebody shout Alleluia! (Alleluia!) because while he was praying my Father changed acid to ice water. I am talking of God who can reverse the irreversible! Every poison in your system, every plant that my Father did not plant shall be rooted tonight in Jesus Name! (Amen!)

O glory be to God! (Amen!) So no matter how desperate is your situation. I am telling you that today, that desperate situation shall be reversed in Jesus Name! (Amen!)

This is interesting the Lord said there is somebody here. You said you didn’t like the way your teeth were set. He said He is already rearranging them. He is rearranging them. He is rearranging them. I will like to you see you, when He has finished rearranging.

I remember a doctor, he was a doctor of Agriculture; PhD Agric. But since the day he got his degree, he never got a job. He tried, he did everything - no job. Nobody will employ him. The day they brought him to my office I thought he was a mad man - because things where so bad. He had been worried for so long….. When they told me he had PhD in Agric, I said "are you sure?" Then I told him if you give your life to Jesus He will change things over. He gave his life to Jesus. We prayed a simple prayer. He went back home and some days later the Governor sent for him. He said "we have been looking for you." "What do you mean you have been looking for me? I have written so many applications. I have walked here everyday!" "Well we’ve been looking for you. We have a good job that only you can do." So he got a job. six months later he got married. Nine months later he had a set of twins. When the Almighty God step into your situation. All the ground that you have lost, shall be fully restored in Jesus Name! (Amen!)

Whenever God says to those of you who are destitute - no money to eat; no money for business; everything has come to a stand still. And He speaks a word nobody can stop it. If He says from now on you will continue to prosper. You will continue to prosper. I have told you the story before, this might not be dealing with those who are trusting God for the fruit of the womb. But there are some of us who are trusting God for the fruit of money. It is by the special grace of God that you came here tonight because to get the money for transport was difficult. But before the end of the year we shall come in our own car. (Amen!) You better say Amen! loud and clear to that. Some of you will even buy buses so that you won’t come alone.

And I ran out of money, and I have made up my mind I will never borrow because the word of God says I should owe no man anything, only love. So the carpenters came to me and the leader came and said, "Sir, we need N204" Naira was strong in those days. So I said okay when I have it I would send for you. He couldn’t believe it. He couldn’t believe it, N204.00 he said that’s all I need sir. I said when I have it I will send for you. He was angry, he thought I was lying. What do you mean you don’t have N204? So I could hear him grumbling as he was going. He is the one who will say the work is not moving fast. Now we asked him for money he is not giving us the money! I didn’t answer because I have nothing to say because I don’t have the money. But after he left I said to God, "You heard him, so do something about it."

And I had prayed all night; so I was tired. So I lay on the settee in my office and I fell asleep, when I woke up, there was a man sitting at the door, eating breakfast.

I said ah, this man’s case must be serious. He came and saw me sleeping and sat at the door, that he wouldn’t come out of here today. So I said, "Oga, what’s your problem?" He said I have no problem. He said "I wanted to eat in my house, when God spoke to me and said take the rent that you have just collected. Take it to my son. So I said God I will go; let me finish my breakfast first. God said no. Go now." He said "so I came, I took my breakfast alone. When I got here I found you sleeping. I said now at least I can eat." So he gave me the money and I blessed him and he left. When I counted the money it was N1,200.00, So I sent for the carpenter and it was now time for me to show off. So I said, "how much do you say you need by the way?"

Today, I’m saying to somebody here, whoever is holding your miracle will not be able to eat until they bring it to you. (Amen!) Because the Most High will command your miracle to go to you tonight in Jesus Name! (Amen!)

A child of God who was burning for Jesus last time we met but somehow, somehow everything has gone down. And the devil was just about to swallow him up. But the Almighty God said "Go!" and I went and from that day everything changed. That man today is one of my senior pastors. I don’t know maybe you want to come and shout Alleluia! so they will know you are here. Come here, come let them see you. God stopped everything I was doing in order to bring this man back to Himself. Just shout one big Alleluia! to say thank you to Jesus. "Praise the Lord, Alleluia!" Every one of you that are on the way to hell today you will go back on the way to heaven in Jesus Name! (Amen!)

Some of you will also remember what happened at Liberty Stadium. When we had the Holy Ghost Night there. It was fantastic, we had a wonderful night. The stadium was full. Outside the stadium was full. The roads were full of people. All kinds of miracle happened and it was time to go. Suddenly God spoke to me and said there was a woman there; who had feathers in her armpit, that I should call her out so that the problem …. I said "O Lord, we have had a wonderful night, let’s go home now. I know you are speaking, you won’t tell me lies. The woman must be there. But how can somebody like that come out? With the television camera every thing on! With this crowd? God let’s go home!" He said, "We are not going. You want this woman to die with her problem?" He said, "no, no, no I want to solve the problem today." Everybody who has a problem today, problems you can not even tell anybody about, God will stop every thing to solve your problem in Jesus Name! (Amen!) We called her, she came out and God solved the problem. Somebody will go home rejoicing today in Jesus Name! (Amen!)

I can feel that the Holy Spirit is about to drive me away from here. So I will just tell you one testimony quickly and then maybe, we will just go ahead and pray. These are testimonies you could check out. Years ago, I can’t remember what they said the Guardian Newspaper did. During the regime of Buhari and Idiagbon and they said Guardian must be closed down. How many of you remember the time? Ah some of you did okay … but at that time I was writing the Sunday school segment of the newspaper. And the editor then was one brother called Gbonuola, he was a worker in the church. He came to me and said, "sir, they want to close down the Guardian." I said, "don’t worry nobody will close down the Guardian." He said, "sir, we took Rotimi William as our Lawyer. And after a lot of consideration they said that the best thing is to go and settle this matter quietly. So we have gone to the highest authorities. We have told them we are willing to pay any fine. But they said no, we will close down the Guardian, that the court is going to meet on such and such a date. And the court is going to rule that the Guardian is closed!"

I laughed, because I know the God I serve. I told him "Go away. As long as I am still writing Sunday school in that paper, that paper stays." "Okay, okay you say so." And they got to court and the court that was suppose to say Guardian is closed, asked them to go and pay a very ridiculously small fine. And today Guardian is still waxing strong. Every report, no matter how high that is coming from, that is contrary against you, I decree in the Name of the Almighty God, that report is cancelled in Jesus Name! (Amen!) I say that report is cancelled in Jesus Name! (Amen!)

God has given me the opportunity to share one more testimony and then we will pray. Testimony you can check. An elderly man came to me six years ago and said, "Sir, a prophet said to me 40yrs ago, and this prophet is a prophet of God, because everything he said about me came to pass. And he said to me when I was 44yrs old that when I am 84 years old that’s when I will die." He said "There are two weeks now to go. And because I know I’m going to die very soon, that’s why I have already moved to the camp. So that when I go I will go on holy ground." I laughed. "Papa are you ready to go? Are you really ready to go?" He said, "No but the prophet said…." "Are you ready to go?" He said, ’"no." "Are you willing to serve God now?" He said, "more than ever before." I said. "in that case whatever that prophet said I cancel it in Jesus Name!" I think 2 months ago papa celebrated 90th year. I don’t know where he is seated in the auditorium but I know he is somewhere here.

Whether the doctor said it or the herbalist said it, or the witch said it; or even the prophet said it. If is contrary, if its a negative report I cancel it in Jesus Name! (Amen!) You better say Amen! loud and clear! (Amen!) I didn’t cancel it in my name. I am not canceling it in my name. I am canceling it in the Name of the Most High. The one who can reverse the irreversible. That’s why I’m saying tonight - beginning from today, your joy has just started. (Amen!) The only fellow who can go out of here today without the miracle he or she needs is somebody who refuses to surrender to Jesus. Because if I say I cancelled the evil report against you and you are not a child of God, God will say that one does not apply to you. He will say the miracles I have are for my children not for dogs. And what do you need a miracle for anyway if you don’t belong to Jesus Christ? If you don’t belong to Jesus Christ, you don’t need a miracle what you need is magic. I mean there is a lot of magic all over Nigeria. There are so many magicians on television. Go to them! go and get your magic from them. Oh there are magicians who can heal - but what happens to you after they have healed you? Ask those people that the magicians have healed. They tell you the kind of dreams they have. They tell you that from the day they said they were healed that’s the day they were not able to sleep any more. Oh, you want magic? Go! There are plenty of magicians! But it is the blessing of God that maketh rich and addeth no sorrow with it. It is the miracles of the Almighty God that will come and with no complications at all. So if it is a miracle you need, you have to surrender to Jesus first.

So if there is anyone here, that you want to surrender your life to Jesus, don’t waste our time because we want to pray very soon. So if you are here and you are not yet born again and you want to surrender your life to Jesus. You want to say bye, bye to sin. And you want to begin to do the Will of God, then you better come now. I will count up to ten. After that one, I am not going to wait any longer because many of us want to pray now. We know that our God is going to reverse our irreversible tonight.

So those of you who want to surrender your life to Jesus begin to come now. As I begin to count …. one, two, three, four, five, the magician will not ask you not to stop sinning. They won’t ask you to surrender your life to Jesus. Oh they will just say come for miracle, come for healing; and then you get there you get what they said they have. And they will give you something else that you will be worshipping for the rest of your life. But if you come to Jesus you must say bye, bye to sin. So when He gives His miracle it will be a miracle that will last forever. Six now, seven, eight, so if you know you want to come, you better move. I know there are some of you coming from a far distance but you have to hurry. Eight now, this is your day of salvation and those of you who have already come, you begin to pray and begin to tell Jesus Christ: Say I have come to surrender my life to You. You are the Most High. There is no one higher than You. That’s why I have come to surrender to You. I know You can do everything, I have come to You tonight. I have come to surrender completely. Forgive my sins, I’m saying bye, bye to sin tonight. I am saying bye bye to the world tonight. Please have mercy on me Lord! Have mercy on me!!" close your eyes and pray now! Call on the Almighty God and those of you who are still coming hurry up, this is nine now, nine because very soon we will begin to pray.

I want to rejoice with those of you who come forward because even right now there is joy already going on in heaven. And not only that, from tonight, by the special grace of God I will be praying for you. That’s why I need your names, your prayer requests and your address. The reason I need your address, correct address, is that when I ask God to send your miracle, it will be sent to the address that you put down. So there are some people who will help me get the information. You will see a brother on my left waving a piece of wood. There is another one on my right, waving another. Both of them will lead you to somewhere up there where some pastors are waiting. They will help you collect the name, the address, because God really wants to move mightily tonight. He is already moving. And He will continue to move.

Now is time to pray, let’s stand on our feet.

Now for the next few minutes. You want to open up your heart now and tell God all those things you want Him to do for you. He is here He is listening and He is going to surprise you tonight. So tell Him, tell Him what you need. Go ahead tell Him! ….. Blessed be Your holy Name. Let’s begin to bring our prayers to a close. Thank You Father! Glory be to God! In Jesus Mighty Name we have prayed! (Amen!)

And now before I pray for you I want you to pray for me. So stretch your hands towards me and pray please. Wish me whatever you wish yourself. …. Thank you Lord. In Jesus Mighty Name we have prayed! (Amen!) So shall it be in Jesus Name! (Amen!)

….. those of you who were here during the convention you will remember that around this time. God spoke and said "As they praise me I will heal them." How many of you remember that? All right, so we began to praise Him and things began to happen. Now tonight God said something to me. He said as a dog dances when it sees its owner so will someone dance tonight because of my intervention. (Amen!) So I think that half a word is a enough for the wise. I am going to suggest to only those of us who feel we can do it. For the next fifteen minutes or so to join the rest of us to praise God, dance before Him and see what He will do. That’s all I want us to do. It is not compulsory if you don't, if you feel I’m too big to dance for Him or you don’t need an extra miracle just sit down and watch us. But the rest of us who are willing it is time to praise the Lord. I believe that this might become the hour of power. Are we ready to praise Him? All right let’s go ahead!

Amen! Can’t we .. may be we should ask Kunle Ajayi to lead us. ….. Amen! now we are not stopping yet. What we want you do is this - as you dance, I want you to check your bodies and as many as received healing tonight, as we dance, you dance forward …. so that we can glorify God together. Let’s go ahead. God we thank You. Alleluia! Thank You Lord! Thank You Lord! Thank You Lord! Glory be to God! Alleluia! Thank You Jesus! Thank You!

Now you will dance back to your seats I didn’t know you are going to be these many so I wasn’t really ready. But I’m sure next month He will do greater things and your testimony will last forever. Go ahead let’s praise God as you dance back. Alleluia! So many things happened while we were praising God. But I think from now on we just include that in the Holy Ghost Night.

Alleluia!
