Tonight, Lord God Almighty, in the lives of everyone of Your children Father do something new, do something special. All those who are serving You in spirit and in truth, before this time next year give them at least eighty-one breakthroughs. Thank You my Father and my God. In Jesus mighty name we have prayed. Amen. Well, let someone shout hallelujah. Let someone shake hands with one or two people and say: good evening, welcome to breakthroughs. And then you may please be seated. Tonight, the Lord want me to tell someone straight away, your laughter is beginning now. Alright, if you are that one let me hear you shout hallelujah. Tonight, we are talking about God of Breakthroughs. Our text is taking from 2Kings chapter 2 verse 9 to 15: The Lord said somebody said ‘how I which I have children so I can bring them next month’. He asked me to tell you, before the end of the month your children will already be moving in your womb. 9 And it came to pass, when they were gone over, that Elijah said unto Elisha, Ask what I shall do for thee, before I be taken away from thee. And Elisha said, I pray thee, let a double portion of thy spirit be upon me. 10 And he said, Thou hast asked a hard thing: nevertheless, if thou see me when I am taken from thee, it shall be so unto thee; but if not, it shall not be so. 11 And it came to pass, as they still went on, and talked, that, behold, there appeared a chariot of fire, and horses of fire, and parted them both asunder; and Elijah went up by a whirlwind into heaven. 12 And Elisha saw it, and he cried, My father, my father, the chariot of Israel, and the horsemen thereof. And he saw him no more: and he took hold of his own clothes, and rent them in two pieces. 13 He took up also the mantle of Elijah that fell from him, and went back, and stood by the bank of Jordan; 14 And he took the mantle of Elijah that fell from him, and smote the waters, and said, Where is the Lord God of Elijah? and when he also had smitten the waters, they parted hither and thither: and Elisha went over. 15 And when the sons of the prophets which were to view at Jericho saw him, they said, The spirit of Elijah doth rest on Elisha. And they came to meet him, and bowed themselves to the ground before him. Because you came tonight, all your colleagues very soon will be bowing down to you. I want to thank God for my son who spoke before me this evening, your anointing will never run dry. I want to really really thank God for choir, they just keep on getting better and better. God bless you. Our God is a God of breakthroughs. And from the text we read, it is possible to have breakthroughs in many areas of life, and to have all of them even in a single day. Elisha had many breakthroughs in one day. He had physical breakthrough – Jordan opened for him. He had material breakthrough – you discover Elisha never had to ask a widow for food; as a matter of fact, he decreed abundance to a widow that was destitute. In 2Kings chapter 4 verse 1 to 7, a rich had to constrain him, practically forced him even to come and eat in her house. And because of the breakthroughs you are going to have today, in the Name that is above every other name, you will never beg again. He also not only had physical breakthroughs, material breakthrough, he had spiritual breakthrough, he became promoted above his colleagues. He woke up in the morning as one of the sons of the prophets; before the day was out he has become the father of the sons of the prophets. If only you can believe it because of the breakthrough you are going to have tonight, you will soon be at the top of your own career. Because of the spiritual breakthrough he had that day, he became someone who can decree an end to a curse. I mean, in 2Kings chapter 2 from verse 19 to 22, he decreed an end to the curse in Jericho. Tonight, I am decreeing concerning all the villages and towns represented here, every curse upon your towns, cities, and villages, I cancel tonight. He decreed healing for Naaman in 2Kings chapter 5 from verse 1 to 14, you know the story of Naaman very well. Naaman has an incurable disease but the man of God just decreed that he should go and take a bath and he did what he was told, and he was completely whole. So, may I decree straight away that all of you who were told that your sickness cannot be cured; by Monday, go and check with your Doctor, he will think he is looking at a new person. He raised the dead when he was alive because of the spiritual breakthrough that he had; and raised the dead even after he himself was dead. While he was alive, he was performing mighty miracles, even after he died, the dead born still continued the job. I am standing on the authority of the word of God to say that every good thing that had died in your life will come back to life. He became the protector of his nation. In 2Kings chapter 6 from verse 8 to 12, he delivered his king for falling into the trap of the enemy. When that king sent an army to arrest him, they arrested those who are coming to arrest him. When there was famine in the land in 2Kings chapter 7 verse 1 to 16, he decreed. Since this is a special time in my own life, because I am sure many of you know the history of the Holy Ghost service, that it all started in 1986 when my birthday was near and the Almighty God asked me son, what do you want for your birthday? And I told Him I want all the member of my congregation to have a miracle. And He said called them together; I believed which is story you know. This is the anniversary of that special breakthrough in my life. So, if you hear me making decrees, I appeal that you take them seriously. One of the decrees I want to make straight away is that oh Nigeria it shall be well with you. I want to say to somebody here tonight, all those who want to arrest you, all those who want to slow you down, all those who want to put into bondage, they shall be arrested. And those of you in a famine, whether physical, financial, spiritual, or otherwise, in less than twenty-four hours your famines will be over. Because he had spiritual breakthrough, he decreed end to mockers. In 2Kings chapter 2 from verse 23 to 24, he was minding his own business and some children began to mock him, he spoke a word and an end came to them. In 2Kigns chapter 7 from verse 17 to 20, when he prophesied and someone very high in government laughed at him, what are you taking about; even if God is to make windows in heaven, can this thing be? He silenced him. He told him, you will see the miracle happen, only that you won’t partake of it. That is while tonight I am issuing a decree, all those who are mocking you, you won’t see them again. I think you better say amen to that. Because of the spiritual breakthrough that he had, … Sorry o! It seems I have created some problem with my decree because the Lord says there is someone here, those of who are actually resisting your progress are members of your family, Sorry o! so, may I advise you then, if you find some relatives dying prematurely, is because the decree has already gone out. All those resisting your progress within or without, you won’t see them again. Alright! I think you better pray for me tonight. Because of the spiritual breakthrough that he had, he joined a special club of giants. Moses, the red sea opened for him. Joshua, if you read Joshua chapter 3 verse 7 to 17, Jordan opened for Joshua. Something very interesting there in verse 7 that God told Joshua, He said from today I will begin to magnify you. May that be your portion also. The red sea opened for Moses; Jordan opened for Joshua; and then in 2Kings chapter 2 verse, Jordan opened for Elijah; and sudden, Jordan opened for Elisha. So, Elisha joined the club of spiritual giants. Permit me to decree that one day when they are talking of world spiritual giants your name we be included. Now, you too can have breakthroughs. You can have breakthroughs physical; you can have breakthroughs material, you can have breakthroughs spiritual, all in one day. I mean for example, in Mark chapter 10 from verse 46 to 52, is the story of Bartimaeus that I am sure you know very well. In one day, his blindness was over – that was a physical breakthrough, The same day, his garment of suffering was thrown away by himself, he never begged again – that was material breakthrough. And at the end of the story, the Bible said he followed Jesus in the way, he became the disciple of Jesus. He became someone whose story is still affecting the world more than two thousand years after he died. He had three major breakthroughs in one day. So, I want to decree to some body, before you leave here tonight, you will have at least three breakthroughs. Now, God is sovereign, … Thank You Father. I want to say amen to this one before I tell you. The Lord says there is someone here, He said I will send three very serious destiny helpers to you. He used the word ‘very serious’, and I want to say amen Lord. Now, God is sovereign, we are talking about the God of breakthroughs. Psalm 115 verse 3, says God is in heavens and He has done has He pleases; He is the original majesty. I mean, for example in Romans chapter 9 verse 15 and 16, He says I will be merciful on whom I will be merciful, I will I have compassion on whom I will have compassion; I will just decide who I will be merciful to. So, He can choose who He can give a breakthrough to. I mean for example, I John chapter 5, from verse 2 to 9, there was multitude of people expecting healing, and Jesus walked in there, healed one, and just went His way. I pray for somebody here today, if God is going to be merciful to somebody, may you be that one. But if you study the Bible very well, you will discover that breakthrough can be obtained by force. Matthew chapter 11 verse 12, says since the days of John of the baptize, the kingdom of God suffereth violence, and the violence have taken it by force. Maybe if you are the loudest, may be if you are the one who will say I will have my breakthrough tonight, you can receive it in Jesus’ name. Those of you who were not here yesterday you did not know what you miss, my children they did marvelous works. And one of them said, that if you want to a breakthrough you can get by violent faith – and he is correct. Because in Mark chapter 2 from verse 1 to 12, … Thank You Father. May I want to say amen to this one also. Daddy says those who ever plan to destroy your heritage, Daddy says they will die before you. You know, in Mark chapter 2 from verse 1 to 12, they brought one young man to Jesus Christ for healing and there was no way to get into Jesus Christ, They carried him to the roof, force open the ceiling, and brought the man to the feet of Jesus Christ, that was violent faith. They carried him, he walked out. You know, one of the things I will ask when I see that man in heaven, is, who repair the ceiling? Because he did not wait as soon as he got well, he just went away. Everything that want to start in your way tonight, just one shout of amen will get rid of it. And then, one of my children who spoke yesterday says that you could get breakthrough through violent prayer - violent persistent prayer. In Matthew 15 verse 21 to 28, a woman said my daughter is grievously vexed with devil, Lord help me. The Bible said, Jesus did not answer, and those who should have helped the woman told the Lord send this woman away she is too loud; and she kept on crying. Jesus Christ said, I AM not sent but unto the lost sheep of the house of Israel, I can’t give a breakthrough to someone who is not a member of the Redeemed Christian Church of God, The woman said, haa, I know I am not of the household of Israel, I am not going anywhere, I must get my breakthrough today. Jesus said I cannot give the bread of children to dogs. She said, I am not arguing with you, call me any other name other dog, I say I must have my breakthrough! The Lord turned and say great is your faith, you can have what you want. When the time come to pray tonight, I beg you, you went through a lot to get here, this is a night like no other, you must not get out of here without your breakthroughs. I told you the story of one day years ago: We just finished our convention, in those days we have two set of conventions, so, the convention takes two weeks. At the end of the second week, I was tired; when I finished, I came home, I told my wife and children, come let us pray and we pray a short prayer; don’t let anybody disturbed me, I want to go and sleep. I was so tired, I hit the bed without taking my sucks off. Few minutes, just as I was going far into the sleep land, my wife came and knocked at the door: darling, you have to wake up. I told you I don’t want to be disturbed. She said I know you are tired, but there is a woman at the door, came all the way from the north. When she came, she asked the children: is Daddy in? I want to see him. He is not seeing anybody again. But he is in? Good! He is not coming out today! She said who is taking about today, she said I will seat at this door, whatever time he wants to come out, any number of days, he will meet me here. So, my wife said, you better add this tiredness to your tiredness. She was seating at the door, they gave her food and she was eating. So, I came out. Woman, what is your problem? She said all I want is I want you to touch my head, this head that always refusing good things, touch it. She got her miracle. Is there somebody here tonight, who will say, Lord, I am not going anywhere, I must have my breakthrough tonight. If you are the one let me here shout hallelujah. Now, there is this issue of assisted breakthrough. You see, in Matthew chapter 18 verse 19… Thank You Father. The Lord asked me to tell somebody, He said right now you are walking on troubled waters. Daddy asked me to tell you, I will hold your hand, you will not sink. In Matthew 18 verse 19, the Bible says, if two of you shall agree, as touching anything you will ask on earth, it will be done for you by my Father in heaven. I am going to ask you to do something; you know in a night when God want to do something extra ordinary, I always appeal to you at the beginning to be at least childish for just a while, I want you to join a hand with a fellow next to you, and with all your heart, I want you to pray: Father, this fellow I am holding, before the sun rises tomorrow, give him breakthrough. Go ahead, pray for just a minute. This fellow I am holding, my Father and my God, before the sun rises tomorrow, give him a major breakthrough, please give him a major breakthrough. Give him a major breakthrough before the sun rises tomorrow. Thank You Father. Amen. So shall it be in Jesus’ name. Now, you know the story of Naaman very well. He nearly lost his breakthrough but for God who allowed him to be assisted. The housemaid helped him. He got to the man of God, he sent a servant to tell him what to do; he got angry, but his servant assisted him again. Yesterday, one of my children who was speaking spoke about David who brought to a nation. May I decree to somebody here tonight, somebody who will assist you in getting your breakthrough will get to you. And then there is the issue of the God of your father. When Elisha was going to get his breakthrough, the cry he cried was my father, my father; And when he was going to pray, he said where the Lord God of Elijah? Your father-in-the Lord has a role to play in your breakthrough. I want to you to pay very close attention to where we are; Don’t worry I would soon finish preaching, and allow you to pray. There are some of us who take the issue of your spiritual father lightly. There are some of us who have several fathers. It is only a demon who has more than one father. Every human being will have only one father. If you have a wrong father, change that tonight. At least one thing is clear, you can never get more than double of the anointing of your father. So, if your father has no anointing, if he is a pretender or the oil had dried upon him, you have a problem. So, for all those who genuinely are my children, I decree tonight, the way will open for you. I have to stand for this one. I see something, I see the sun going backward, and so I asked Daddy: what does this one mean? And He says for some of you listening to me tonight, including myself, Daddy says He is rolling back your age by five years. Your age will still be same, but your body will be five years young. And He said by these shall you know: (number one) you will become stronger, your eyes will become sharper, your memory will become more accurate. He asked me to tell you, if you are one of the people, He said the number of gray hairs on your head will reduce. I think you should lift your hands to God and thank Him: Father, we receive. I receive that. I receive that Lord, I receive that Lord. Thank You Almighty God. In Jesus’ name. Let somebody shout hallelujah. Okay, you can please be seated. Thank You, thank You, thank You. I can hear somebody singing, and the song is: I am going higher yes I am, I am going each day Hallelujah I am going higher yes I am, Going with Jesus to stay, I am going above shadows into the presence Into presence of Jesus I am going higher each. If you are that one let me hear you shout hallelujah. The Lord asked me to tell somebody, He said the embargo is lifted. Oh Lord, thank You Father. The Lord said, the fellow concern will understand, He asked me to tell you, I will put the lion to sleep. Okay, now, let me begin to around. One of my children spoke yesterday and told us about how a breakthrough is about digging a ground. You know that there is water under the ground and you are digging and digging until you get to the water; when you get to water you have broken through water. So, from yesterday we had a new of greeting ourselves – we shake hands and we say keep digging, keep digging. Because he spoke about we dug we get to water we stopped, that we should dig deeper and get to gold; we dig deeper we get to diamond; and I said I will keep digging until I get to oil. How about shaking hands with one or two people and keep digging, keep digging. It is from angle now that I come to last face of my talk. To dig, you need a sharp instrument, and there is no instrument sharper than the word of God. Hebrews chapter 4 verse 12 tells us that the word of God is quick and powerful and sharper than any twoedged sword. One of children like I told you said that you need faith for you to get a breakthrough. Romans 10 verse 17 tells us that faith comes by hearing and hearing by the word of God. You need the word of God to dig, it is the word of God that will produce the faith. The sick knows that there is healing available, all he or she need is the word of God to get that healing. He sent His word and healed them. The poor knows that there is something called prosperity. Either he had been rich and become poor, or he can see rich people around, to breakthrough to prosperity, he required the word of God. In 2Kings chapter 4 verse 1 to 7, it is the word of Elisha that turned the tide for the destitute so that the creditors became disgraced. It takes the word of God to make the fruitless fruit. Many of the testimony you have heard: we came to the Holy Ghost service and daddy said that his Daddy said and we see the result. The barren need just the word. In 1Samuel chapter 1 from 1 to 20, Thank You Father. Again, this is me, so I say amen to this one. The Almighty God said there is someone here tonight, He said very soon whenever they want to describe you or your children, the word that they would frequently use is the word ‘Excellent’ 1Samuel chapter 1 from verse 1 to 20, just one word is what Hannah had that changed her look: she stopped weeping, she was not sad anymore, and she came back with her baby. Breakthrough comes by word of God, and it is either God Himself will speak directly to you like He spoke to Abraham and Sarah in Genesis 18, Or He could speak through an Angel like He did in Judges 13 or Luke chapter 1. In Judges 13 he spoke to Manoah’s wife and Samson was the result. In Luke chapter 1, He spoke to Zacharia and John the Baptist was the result. Or God could speak through His prophet. Prophet spoke and the miracle happens. If you check again and again when some breakthroughs came for people or nations, particularly in Jericho, the Bible said the waters of Jericho were healed according to word that Elisha spoke. Thank You Father. The Lord said there is someone here tonight, (and I say amen to that too) He said very soon a huge crowd will surround you and they will all be saying one word and that word will be congratulations. Now, if you check through the scripture, you will find that Pastor in charge of congregation is always called the angel of the church - Revelation chapter 2, Revelation chapter 3. So, tonight, I am standing in the position of your spiritual father, I am standing as the angel of the Lord, even though I am not a prophet but hear from Him from time to time, Before we finish tonight, I am going to combine all the offices and decree your breakthrough, and that time is not too far from here but you have to do one or two things before then. Number one, will have to do with some of you who probably came late, you were not here when the first altar call was made; you cannot call me daddy in the real sense of the world without being born-again. You cannot be my spiritual son if you are living in sin. It is not possible; you must be a true child of God before you can look at me and say that is my daddy. It is only if both of us are inside the kingdom of the Lord Jesus that the relationship of daddy-son, daddy-daughter can apply. Don’t let anybody deceive you, we cannot break the word of God; breakthrough come through the word of God, And it is clearly written: say ye to the righteous it shall be well with you - Isaiah chapter 3 verse 10. Woe to the wicked for it shall be ill with him – Isaiah chapter 3 verse 11. You want it to be well with you and you have not yet surrendered your life to Jesus, you are joking; but you can make up you make up your mind tonight. If you want to give your life to Jesus, you run forward now; run to the altar whether here or in the old auditorium or any of our overflows, or wherever you may be. If you are anywhere that is not church setting, if you are at home, just stand up and let Jesus know you are standing up. If you are in a car, you park that car and let Him know that you mean business. So, if you want to give your life to Jesus, I am going to count to one to ten; by the time I say ten if you are not already standing before the altar, is either you are already saved or you don’t want to come, and so I am counting now One, two, three, four, five, six, seven, eight, nine Now, I can see some of you far away because of the distance please keep coming and pray as you come: ask God to have mercy on you; Jesus please have mercy on me, save my soul, forgive all my sins, let Your blood wash away all my sins, and I will save You. Come and be my Lord, come and be my Saviour, and I will do Your will from now on. Call on Him. And the rest of us, stretch hands towards this people who have come forward, and intercede for them that the One who saved our souls will save their own souls also. Pray for them Brethren. Intercede for them that Saviour will have mercy on them and save their souls today; write their names in the book of life and receive them into the family of God. And those of you who are coming, you need to hurry up now because I am about to pray for salvation. Thank You Father. Our Father and our God we want to bless Your holy name. thank You for Your word, and thank You for the people who heard Your word and decide to surrender to You, Father please receive them, have mercy on them, save their souls, let Your blood wash away their sins, please write their names in the book of life and from now when they cry unto You please answer them by fire. When you are given breakthrough to Your children, give them their own too. In Jesus mighty name we have prayed. Amen. Now those of you who have come forward, congratulations. From now on by the grace of God I will be praying you. The Counselors will give you some card to fill very quickly because I need your names, your address and your prayer requests. Fill the form quickly, pass it on to the Counselors and then go back to your seat and I promise I will be praying for you. It is time to pray. Like I told you earlier, you pray intensely tonight. The day called the 3rd of March 2023 we never come back again, and so this moment in history is a once and for all moment. Now, when we talk about breakthrough, some of us would say but I am not sick. Real breakthrough physically means (number one) you are whole. It also means no more sickness until it is time to go home. When Elisha had that physical breakthrough, he was sick only once, when he was about to go; and the sickness did not last long. I don’t know about you but I need physical breakthrough, I don’t want ever to be sick again, no ache, no pain, no matter how small. So, your prayer number one is to praise God that you are here. Number two: Almighty God, give me physical breakthrough, never to be sick again. Number two, when we talk about material breakthrough, not only do I want all my needs met abundantly. Lord, it is written, I will lend to nations but I will never borrow. You want to talk to God; I want material breakthrough, that promise of lending to nations I want it fulfilled in my life. Anything I want to do for God, I want to be able to do it easily, I don’t want to be scratching my head to be able to do whatever my heart desire to do for God. So, prayer number three: Lord, I want a material breakthrough tonight. Prayer number four has to do with fruitfulness. It is not just a fellow that has not gotten a child that is called barren; barrenness actually means you are working had there is nothing to show for it. Lord, everything I touch from now on, I just want it to prosper, and prosper mightily. I want that kind of breakthrough and put it down as number four. Then I want spiritual breakthrough. Well, I don’t know how far you want to go spiritually. It will be a good idea that anytime you want you can raise the dead; you can just wave your hands and miracle will just begin to happen; the devil will see you coming and they will run. So, put it down, I want spiritual breakthrough. And then, other breakthroughs that you want, just add. You have thirty minutes to pray; the altar is open, just go ahead and storm the throne of heaven let God know I am not getting up on my knees without my own breakthroughs. Just go ahead and talk to God. Thank You Jesus. Hallelujah. Thank You Father. Thank You Father. Glory be to Your holy name Lord. Thank You Father. In Jesus mighty name we have prayed. Receive your breakthrough now. Have a physical breakthrough right now. Be whole right now. Become a surprise to the doctor right now. Receive a material breakthrough right now. For the rest of your life be debt free. Never beg for anything again. Always have more than sufficient. From today onward what you touch shall prosper. You will go higher every day. Receive spiritual breakthrough now. Anytime you pray let there be fire. Become a terror to the devil. Become a spiritual giant. Become a might vessel in the hand of the Almighty God. Before the sun rises, sing a song of victory. So shall it be. In Jesus mighty name we have prayed. Let me hear you shout a big hallelujah tonight.
