Thank You for mercy over Nigeria, it is of Your mercy that we are not consume, and that mercy that has preserved us we know that that same mercy will be there for us, Father accept our thanks in Jesus’ name. Tonight, in Your own special way please exceed our expectations – in healings, in deliverance, in breakthroughs, in miracles, in signs, in wonders, in salvation, exceed our expectations and we will give You all the glory. In Jesus mighty name we have prayed. Amen. Well, let someone shout hallelujah. Well, wave two or three people and say God will exceed your expectations tonight. And then you may please be seated except those born in the month of October. If you are born in October shout a big hallelujah. Father, we commit all Your children born in the month of October into Your hands, October is the tenth month, and ten is double five, month of double grace; we commit all these Your into Your hand, let Your grace upon them be double, let their promotions be double, let their miracles be in doubles, double their joy, double their success, double their victories, let it be well with them and let today mark a new beginning for them. In Jesus mighty name we have prayed. Amen. If you are born in October shout a big double grace hallelujah. My own text is Ephesians chapter 3 from verse 20 to 21: 20 Now unto him that is able to do exceeding abundantly above all that we ask or think, according to the power that worketh in us, 21 Unto him be glory in the church by Christ Jesus throughout all ages, world without end. Amen. I would have to spend quality time on verse 20 but maybe a day will come when we will look at that in some details because one of the boys before me touched on that: (1) God is able, (2) He is not just able, but able to do, (3) he probably should have gone to abundantly – God is able, able to do, abundantly, and then He could even exceed what is already abundant, And then, above all that we ask, and then above all that we think, and then according to, in proportion to, to what? The power (I mean, somebody emphasis that one) Which power? The one that is working in us. That verse alone would have been enough food for tonight. But then, because of our limited time, what is Expectation? And many of my children gave some beautiful expectations – definition of expectations. I would want to define expectation in the language that the market woman will understand by saying: Expectation is what will happen, subject to, all things being equal: All things being equal, in June in Nigeria, it will rain. That is our expectation for June. All things being equal, if you have a job, at the end of the month you will be paid - that is expectation of all those who have job. All things being equal, that means if you are not sack before the end of the month, if the place of work does not burn down, if somebody had not lied against you to say you stole company properties, you know all things being equal, at the end of the month you will be paid. That is expectation – what will happen if all things are equal. Let me give you another explanation on what we mean by expectation. When a child is born, and is a girl, all things being equal, after a certain age, she should become a mother. All things being equal, there is a potential in a baby girl that one day, all things being equal, she will give birth, And has she begins to grow towards that age, everything she needs to become a mother which was already in her when she was born will begin to manifest. A girl does not go to the market, at the age of, shall we say fourteen/fifteen, to go and buy breast, - no, no, the breasts are already inside there waiting to manifest at the correct time – all things being equal. All things being equal, you will leave here with a testimony. So, when a boy born, a child is born and is a boy, all things being equal, he will become a father someday. That is expectation. Now, if this boy should be married, say by the age twenty and he go the first baby at the age twenty-one and that baby is a girl, All things being equal, that boy who has now become a father, can become a grandfather around the age of forty-something. If his first grandchild is a girl, all things being equal, he could become a great grandfather in the sixties. If the child born at that time is a girl, all things being equal, if the man does not die before then, he could become a great great grandfather in the eighties, and so on and so forth. But not everybody will become a great great grandfather. That all things being equal, the boy would become a father normal expectation, All things being equal, before he dies, he will become a grandfather that normal expectation. And when all of a sudden you find someone who is becoming great great great great grandfather, that one is exceeding expectations. I hope you understand? Okay! Now, like that brother who spoke, the last brother who spoke before me said, when we are talking about expectations there are basically two perspective: God’s perspective, and your own perspective (man’s perspective). There is nothing too hard for God to do, and as a matter of fact, His name is Jehovah El-Shaddai – Genesis chapter 17 verse 1. The first time God introduces Himself to man, He said I AM Jehovah El-Shaddai. And Bible scholars says Jehovah El-Shaddai means Jehovah your mother’s breast. That is while they called Him the God who is more than enough. There is enough milk in your mother’s breast to feed four children at the same time and the children are the one who will say we don’t want anymore; the milk will still be flowing. So, it is an easy thing for Jehovah El-Shaddai to exceed all expectations: Physically, He has the ability to heal just one fellow, and leave the place – John chapter 5 from verse 2 to 14. He can heal you first and then inform you how to remain well. But then, in Matthew chapter 8 verse 14 to 17, the Bible tells us that He could heal all, He could meet expectation everybody. Why? He is Jehovah El-Shaddai. Which is while I am prophesying in His name, that all of you who are here tonight in need of healing, all of you who are listening to me tonight who are in need of healings, receive your healing. But when you read the story of Naaman, which that brother mentioned also, in 2Kings chapter 5 from verse 1 to 14, He can heal the one that is incurable - Like the testimonies we have already had tonight. But He can go beyond that, He can exceed your expectation of the incurable, because when Naaman went for healing, all he wanted that the leprosy will be gone, he wasn’t expecting that there will be no scars left. When somebody has leprosy, one of the signs of leprosy is that the fingers will be cut off, the toes will be cut off, the nose will be disfigured, When God healed Naaman, there were no scars left – the figures that had dropped off came back – the Bible says his skin came back like that of a newborn baby. I pray in the Name that is above every other name, when God heals you today, the sign that you have ever been sick before will not even be there. I remember the testimony of one young man who used to be our director of music. He said that when we say there is someone here and something is happening, he said he never believed. But then he had this problem that a boil would appear on any part of his body and when the boil breaks, some stinking water will flow out of it, and the thing will heal but it will leave a scar, and the scars where all over his body. And then as we are ministering, it was in the old auditorium, God spoke and said there is someone here the scars are gone. And he said, haa, I am the one who have scars, and he ran to the toilet to check and the scars were gone. If you have never received a miracle before, receive one right now. God can exceed your expectations financially. Psalm 24 verse 1 says, the earth is the Lord’s and the fullness thereof. Haggai chapter 2 verse 8 says, the silver is mine and the gold is Mine, saith the Lord. Psalm 50 verse 9 to 10 says the cattle upon the thousand hills are Mine. Philippians 4 verse 19 says my God shall supply all your needs… And Bible scholars have said, all the He said there is your needs, not your wants. But I want you to know my God can exceed your expectations. And one the boys mentioned, 2Kings chapter 4 verse 1 to 7, that is while I thought he saw my note. In 2Kings chapter 4 verse 1 to 7, there was a widow, when she ran to Elisha for help, all she wanted was that her debt will be paid, But after the debt was cleared, she had enough to last for the rest of her life, because God exceeded her expectations. I decree in the Name of the One who called me, not are going to get out of debt, you will never need to borrow again. In John chapter 6 from verse 5 to 13, when Jesus Christ wanted to feed five thousand men, not counting women and children, with lunch of a small boy, not only were they all feed, they were still leftovers to feed twelve baskets – He exceeded expectations. In John chapter 2 from verse 1 to 11, at the wedding in Canaan of Galilee, not only did exceeded the expectation of the bridegroom, or the mother of Jesus said they need wine, all they needed was a wine to keep the party going, but God exceeded their expectation not only in quantity, also in quality. The MC said, when people are drunk, they bring out the worst wine, but when people are drunk in you own case you brought the best wine. In the Name of the One of the who can exceed all expectations, your best is yet to come. And God can… Thank You Lord. The Lord said there is someone, as expect the fellow is here; the Doctor said there is a hole in the heart of your child, go for another check up the hole is gone. God can exceed your expectations… Daddy wants me to tell someone who is becoming fretful because of all the dangers – kidnappers, this, that, - the Lord asked me to tell you, relax, safety belong to Me. God can exceed your expectation maritally – one of the boys had already mentioned that also. Let me just take one example that he mentioned, he said Hannah asked for only one child, and God gave her six – 1Samuel chapter 2 from verse 20 to 21: she asked for one, she got six. I have a feeling God is talking to a woman here in particular, when your children begin to come, you are going to need assistance because they will be coming in multiples. God can exceed your expectations spiritually, and I like that one very much. Because He says in Psalm 23 verse 5: thou anointed my head with oil, my cup runneth over. I have told you before that when I was doing the study of Psalm 23 for the first time and I got to that place, I asked God: when the cup was full, why don’t you stop, why the wastage? He said, I just wanted you to know, there is much more where this one is coming. I don’t know if you can believe it, like one of the children said, if you want to exceed you must be a man or woman of faith, But I am decreeing to somebody here tonight, God is going to give you more than He has given me. Not only can He deliver a mad man, He can turn him to an Evangelist. You know the story, Mark chapter 5 from verse 2 to 20, all that that mad man could ever expect is that he will be free from the demons, but God exceeded his expectations – He set him free and turn him to an evangelist. He took a man who Himself said that he was a chief among sinners – 1Timothy chapter 1 verse 15, that is Saul of Tarsus, he said I am the Chief of all sinners, But God took that man, not only did He save his soul, not only did He called him into the ministry, in 2Corinthians chapter 11 verse 5, the Almighty God turn him to the Chiefest of the Apostle. There is somebody here today who does not even know that he could be use of God, but I am assuring in the Name that is above every other name, you are going to preach Christ throughout the whole world. If you are the one let me hear you say amen loud and clear. Now, let us go to individuals, because there is lot more to say on that, but my children have covered almost all the grounds. Thank You Father. Oh, thank You Lord. The Lord says there is someone here, you have lost so many opportunities that by now the best nickname they could give you would be lost in transit because anytime miracle is coming, before it arrives, is gone; the Lord asked me to tell you, by the time I finish with you your nickname will be restored completely. Now, the rest of the sermon if I don’t finish it you can find in the song that we sang. If you pay attention to our song, you will notice; we don’t just compose, every song is telling a story. The song of tonight is a prophecy that you can exceed expectations. Let us look at the individual perspective. You can exceed expectations by linking up with God. You can exceed all human expectations by linking up with God. The first verse of that song says, I am going to excel in strength. Why? Because I am linked to Him who can never fail. Because the Bible said clearly that those who wait upon the Lord – Isaiah chapter 40 verse 28 to 31 – that they (those who wait upon the Lord) shall renew their strength. That first verse says I can walk, I can run, I won’t faint, I will mount with wings like an eagle. It is wrong to say that as soon as you get to a certain age, you will become weak, it all depends on who you are linked with. There are some of you listening to me, from now on, as you grow older, you will get stronger. Some years ago, some of my children, young ones, they decided to go with me go-a-fishing, and on that particular day we took off from Port-Harcourt. We travelled by road, we stop on the way, Benin, Owo, Akure, Ilesha, Oshogbo, Ofa, and finally we got to Ilorin around 8:00pm, we left at 6:00am, And the children say thank God at long last we are going to rest. I said but they are waiting for us at Lokoja Are we going to Lokoja tonight! I said of course we are going to Lokoja. Finally, we got to Lokoja around 11pm; after all we wanted to do, we ate, and then we come to bed around 1:00am, and by 5:00am I woke them up, it is time to go. Haa! I had to be praying for the driver that he won’t fall asleep. Then, we came to Ogbomosho, Oyo, Ibadan, and on my list, we still have to go to Abeokuta, Ilaro, and so on. And when I got to Ibadan, I just felt in my spirit that some people must have been praying, so I announced, I said let us go home, we have tried. All of them shouted hallelujah. They were not the one preaching, there were just seating in the car with me; travelling alone got them tired. But it is possible never to be tired. I decree in the Name that is above every other name, from now on, every day, God will renew your strength. You can exceed expectations even life. What the Bible says in Psalm 90 verse 10 is that you are normally to live up to seventy or maybe eighty, but Moses lived up to 120, And according to Deuteronomy chapter 34 verse 7, even at the age of 120 the Bible say his eyes were still sharp, and he was still strong enough to father a child. Why? Because God said in Psalm 91 verse 14 to 16, He said with long life will I satisfy him. Whether the devil likes it or not, you will not die before your time. God can exceed your expectations materially – one of the boys has already mention that too. When Solomon gave that one thousand offering, and God visited him, all he wanted, all he expected was wisdom and understanding but God exceeded his expectations: He gave him money beyond what he can ever spend, He gave him long life, He never fought a single war at a time when kings go to war every year. God can exceed your expectations materially and otherwise. Now, God through you can show the world that you as individual can exceed all expectations spiritually. Acts chapter 5 from verse 14 to 16, tells you about a man called Peter, a fisher man, who shadow began to heal the sick. You can be the next fellow that God would use in that manner. Every time I read anything in the Bible, what comes my mind is, if God can do it for that fellow and He is no respecter of persons, He can do it for me. You are going to exceed all expectations as you minister in the power of the Holy Spirit. I can tell you; I can remind you, but time has gone. But some of you will remember in the first auditorium by the express way, when God said there are some people has serious back pain and they have not been able to touch their feet for a long time, He asked me to call them out and I did. And I thought He was going to ask me to lay hands on them, or slap their back or something, He said I should dance round them. If I did not know the voice of the Lord I would have said: dance! What would I say I am dancing? I am rejoicing because your back is paining! But I danced. And after I finished dancing, in obedience, like one of the boys said, God said that is enough, asked them to touch their feet, and they were all healed. Nobody lay hands on them, but the Almighty God wanted to demonstrate his power. That kind of anointing, that anointing to exceed expectations in ministry, receive it tonight in Jesus’ name. Now, you exceed expectations spiritually because the Bible says in 1Corinthians chapter 12 verse 31… Thank You Father. Haa! It must be very special for someone. When we are Ilesha Grammar School, there was one of us in my class, who failed at the end of one year, so we left him behind. We moved on. He now struggled, and finally he too finished; and went to University like many of us did. But by the time many of us who thought we are faired, were lecturing in the University struggling, that fellow became a vice-chancellor of one the prestigious Universities in Nigeria. The Lord asked me to tell you that story because there is someone here, He is going to move you from the title of left-behind to the title of arrived-first. You can exceed in spiritual gifts – you can exceed expectations. Because in 1Corinthians chapter 12 verse 31, the Bible says covet earnestly the best gifts. There are many of us, all of we want from God, all our expectations from God is at least one spiritual gifts. There are many of us if we ask you, what do you want from God, they will simple say the gifts of healings. Very few people ask for the gift of working of the miracles. But God says you can covet earnestly the best gifts – you can have the gift of healings, you can have the gift of working of miracles, you can have the gift of the word of knowledge, you can have the gift of wisdom, you can have the gift of word of prophesy, etcetera, etcetera. You can have it all; it all depends on you. After all, He said in John chapter 14 verse 14, He says if you ask anything in My name, I will do it. Have told you before when I read 1Corinthians chapter 12 verse 31 for the first time, I said, ehen, thank You Lord. I want the anointing on Elijah plus the anointing on Elisha, plus the anointing on Peter plus the anointing on the Lord Jesus Christ while He was here on earth, roll everything together and double it. And God spoke to me then, son, you are asking for trouble. You are the One that said I can ask for anything. If you ask for it, I can give you, only they won’t let you rest. How many of will say I don’t care, God just let me exceed expectation spiritually - anybody like that who want? You want enough power to do anything that you wave your hands the dead will rise; you wave your hand, and the sick will be healed; you wave your hands and handkerchief will become anointed and the handkerchief will go and perform miracles, You want that kind of power? I cannot hear you. But then, let us get a bit, a little bit of digging deep, and it won’t be much, I am about to close. You can exceed all expectations in commitment to Christ. You know, somebody give a definition of a fanatic before. He said a fanatic is somebody who loves Jesus Christ more than you. That is the definition of a Christian fanatic. You can exceed all expectations in your commitment to Jesus Christ. You can love Him so much, be ready to serve Him beyond the call of duty. Acts chapter 21 from verse 8 to 14, a prophet came to the company of Paul and said to him, you are going to be bound in Jerusalem, the Holy Spirit asked me to go and tell you, You don’t have to go, because if you go there, trouble will be waiting, and everybody say if the Holy Spirit came to tell you don’t go, seat down. He said what are talking about, I am going there to preach, I am not only ready to be bound, I am ready to die. That is called exceeding expectations. If I ask all of you who are here now, how many of you are ready to go and start a church in America Haa, hands will go. How many of you will love to go and start a church in Sweden? Oh, no problem. If I say, how many of you are ready to go and start a church in Iran? Eh, let me go and pray about it. But I have told you the story before, one of the stories I heard when I was a young Christian, that fired me up. A newly wed couple came to a particular country in Africa to preach the gospel as missionaries - they were newlywed. And they got to a place and saw a big wall round a particular section, and they say, haha what is going on? Is there a village in there? The man at the gate said yes, it is a leper colony, everybody inside there is a leper, and we throw food to the over the wall. And the couple said, has anybody preached Jesus Christ to them before? The man at the gate said, what are you talking about? Maybe you don’t understand, anybody who goes in there does not come out. Haa! But we want to preach to them, if anybody has never spoken to them, we, we want to go! The man at the gate said, it looks as if you don’t understand: if you go in there, you are not coming out. And the young husband looked at the young wife: darling, what do you say? The wife said, all that Jesus Christ said is go, He did not say anything about coming back. So, they turn to the gate keeper, and he open the door, and they went in, and the door was shut. That is one couple I am going to look up to when I get to heaven. You can exceed in commitment to Christ. You can exceed in your consecration to Him – That is an area where it should be easy for you as an individual, to make up your mind, I am going to exceed all expectations. In Philippians chapter 3… Thank You Daddy. Daddy asks me to tell someone, He said all the people who want you dead are gone expect one, and He asked me to tell you, the remaining one, unless he comes to beg you, he will not see the new year. In Philippians chapter 3 verse 7 to 22, Paul said, all things that were gain to me, I let it go, (why?) that I may win Christ. He said I surrender all to Him because I want to know Him more, I want to be allowed to have a taste, not only of Your power of resurrection, but even in fellowship of a suffering. He said I give all to Him, I surrender all. If I live, I will live for Him; if I die, that will be gain. Consecration – that closeness, that total surrender to God and say whether I live or I die, I don’t care, I belong to Jesus, you can exceed expectations of your friends along that line. Again, I told you a story that I heard when I was young that a lady evangelist came to Africa, preach in a village, people there got born-again, and she said any other village? And they say there is one up there but there are many lions along the way, and the way they had been roaring it means they had hungry for quite a while. But she said I want to go there to preach. And they said, the lions won’t allow you to get there, they will kill you by the way. She said, but I want to go to them! I want to go and preach to them! And one elderly man there said in that case I will go with you. The woman looked at him and said you can even protect yourself against a lion, how can you protect me? The old man said, you don’t understand, lions don’t kill expect when they are hungry. I will go ahead, they will kill me, and while they are eating me, you can go. Consecration, you can exceed expectation in your consecration to God. You can exceed expectations in prayer. You can pray more than everybody else – you can. In 1Kings chapter 18 verse 41 to 45, after Elijah told Ahab I have heard the sound of abundance of rain, and he told the rest, go and eat, and he said he went to the top of the mountain, threw himself down, put his face between his knees, and began to pray. This was a man who prayed for two minutes and fire fell; now, he wanted rain to fall, and rain refused. He prayed the first time, prayed the second time, prayed the third time; he just kept on praying until the rain fell. You want revival, but are you willing to pray for it? You want anointing, are you willing to pray? You want breakthroughs, are you willing to pray? Because in 1Thessalonians chapter 5 verse 17, the Bible says you are able to pray without ceasing. You can exceed in prayer. When I became General Overseer, our church was big – headquarter plus thirty-nine branches in one corner of Nigeria. And then, I took six of best friends…, I can still see one or two of them here; the rest have gone, …and we went to Ilorin and we prayed for thirty-six hours nonstop. When I say nonstop, we will break for five to go to the toilet and then start again, no sleep, nothing, no food, (laugh)You cannot be praying that kind of prayer and be eating. After the thirty-six hours of prayer, I mean, God spoke, told us several things, some of them you are seeing now, And I was happy; I released them; they all came back to their stations. Oh! Thank You Lord, we prayed thirty-six hours, we are prayer warriors now! And then, I came across the story of a man who prayed for thirty days and thirty nights nonstop, never slept for thirty nights – day in, day out. Have not be able to catch up with him; he exceeded all my expectations of praying. You can exceed in prayer, and if you can exceed in prayer, if you can just to God and say I am not going to let You go, you will get to a stage where He will alright, get what you want. One of these days I will show a spot on this campground – some of you have heard about it. I have been crying to God, God, empower me! I was minding my own business as a lecturer in the University when You said I should leave everything and follow You, I have done that, and I cannot do this work without power (like that young man said), And I remember that night was sometime between 2:00am and 3:00am when I became desperate and I said to God: is either You empower me or you take me home. It should be either of the two. That night He answered and the whole ground shook, and they felt the shaking as far away as Ijebu-Ode when pictures began to drop from the walls. You can exceed expectations in prayer. You can go far far beyond your colleges in prayer. If you pray that kind of prayer, you will soon exceed in power, you will soon exceed in everything, if only you can pray. So, let me close. My children had been saying again and again, when daddy comes and he made the altar call, make sure you don’t delay. How can you be praying to God who said in His word that I don’t listening to a sinner? How can you be praying to God who says hey My hand is not shorten that I cannot save, neither My hears heavy that I cannot hear, but sin will be a barrier between you and I, so I cannot hear? How can you be praying to God when you are still living like a child of a devil and you don’t want to change? But if you will come to Him tonight, He will save your soul, His blood will wash away your sins, and beginning from now you too can have that kind of fellowship with God that we cause you to excel, that will turn you from an ordinary person to someone who will be mighty vessel unto honour in the hands of the most High God. If He can save the Saul of Tarsus and turn him to a chief apostle, He can do the same for you. So, if you want to give your life to Jesus Christ, I am not begging you tonight is your choice, by now you should have sensed that this is not an ordinary Holy Ghost night, this is a night of exceeding. If you want to surrender your life to Jesus, I am going to count from one to ten, by the time I say ten you should be standing before the altar, then we will pray for your salvation before the rest of us we go along with our own prayers; so, if want to come, you can begin to come now as I count. One, Yea, thank you, I saw somebody who is serious, he is already running, even I did not say run. Two, One of the preachers said tonight there is going to be a call to destiny, I think this is what he is talking about, God is calling you to come and surrender your life to Him so that your destiny can be settled. Three, And those of you who are here yesterday I told you what the man of God said, there are three reasons while people clap: (one) is to announce declaration of war to your enemies, (the second) is to announce your victory over Satan, (the third reason) is to announce the arrival of the Lord Jesus Christ into your home, into your life, into your situation; whichever of the three applied to you, clap your hand. Four, five, I think those of you who are already in the old auditorium you are already going to the altar, there are men of God there who will attend to you. Six, Hurry up if you know you are coming, hurry up. Seven, eight, nine, Now, those of you who are already here, and those of you at the altar in the first auditorium, and those of you in all the viewing centers, cry to God now, ask Him to have mercy on you, ask Him to save your soul, promise Him you will serve Him from now, ask Him to be Lord and Saviour, promise that from now on you will obey Him, and obey Him completely, that He should just have mercy and wipe away your sins. The rest of us stretch your hands towards your brothers and sisters and intercede for them that God will have mercy on them and save their souls, that the blood that washed you clean will wash them clean also. Let us go ahead and cry to the Almighty God for the salvation of souls. Hurry up those of you who are still on the way, I want to pray for salvation now. Thank You Jesus. Glory be to God. In Jesus mighty name we have prayed. Father, I want to say thank You. Thank You for Your word and thank You for this people who have decide to come and surrender their lives to You, please receive them in Jesus’ name. Save their souls, let Your blood wash away their sins, write their names in the book of life; and I pray Lord God Almighty that from now on whenever they call on You You will answer them by fire. Thank You Almighty God. Father I am praying that in a moment the rest of us are crying to You, when they too cry to You answer them in Jesus’ name. Thank You Father. For in Jesus mighty name we have prayed. Amen. Praise the Lord. Now, those who have come forward, those of you who have surrendered your life to Jesus I rejoice with you; and from now on by the grace of God I will be praying for you. So, if you turn to your left you will see somebody there lifting up a placard, follow him, he will take you to where some pastors are waiting, they will collect some information from you: your names, your address, you prayer request, so that I can continue to be praying for you. God bless you; you can begin to go now. Follow the Counselor. If you don’t want to clap for Jesus don’t clap, if you want to clap then clap for Him very well. Thank you. Now, you want to write down your prayer points. Number one: You want to praise God for His mercy that has preserved you till this moment. Praise God for His preserving mercy; praise Him. Then, number two: You are going to cry to Him and say: Father, You are the All-sufficient God please be generously merciful to me, my family, Your church, and my nation. Number three: Father, let me be excellently healthy – no ache, no pain, no aliment of any type, excellently healthy. Number four: Father, let me exceed all expectations materially. Number five: Father, anoint me beyond my widest expectations. Number six: Father, empower me to serve You beyond human expectations. Number seven: Father, let my testimonies exceed all expectations. And then, finally, will be your private request – anything you want from God; but prayed like never before. The altar is open, and I am going to ask you to come, and we are going to pray for just fifteen minutes because time is far spent, but even the fifteen minutes let it shake the ground. Cry unto Him, exceed all expectations in the intensity of your prayer even with the fifteen minutes that you have. Go ahead, He is here, He still answer prayers. Call on Him. Speaking in the Holy Ghost Thank You Jesus. Speaking in the Holy Ghost. Thank You Jesus. Glory be to God. Thank You Father. Hallelujah God. Thank You Father. In Jesus mighty name we have prayed. The Lord will grant your request; your testimonies will be beyond expectations, your miracles, your breakthroughs will exceed expectations; the anointing of God upon your life will exceed expectations; your victories, your shout of joy will exceed expectations; your promotion, your breakthroughs will exceed expectations; the way the Almighty God will use for His glory will exceed your expectations. It shall be well with you, and your joy will overflow. In Jesus mighty name we have prayed. Amen. Shout hallelujah. Pastor E. A. Adeboye
