***speaking in the Holy Ghost***
Thank You Lord Thank You Lord. Who is that fellow who is saying, when will I share my own testimony? Daddy asked me to tell you, by this time next month, we will hear your testimony. Daddy, we welcome You into our midst tonight. We give You all glory, we give You all honour, we give You all adoration. Thank You for all You have done for us thus far, thank You for thus far You have helped us; thank You because we know You will continue to help us; please accept our worship in Jesus; name. Tonight, Holy Spirit, please manifest Your power; reveal Your glory, do what You alone can do. Holy Spirit, please remember, this is a Holy Ghost service, please take control, let this month mark a new beginning. In Jesus mighty name we have prayed. Amen. Let somebody shout hallelujah. You can shake hands with one or two people and tell them: God will surprise you tonight. And then you may please be seated. Exodus chapter 3 verses 1 and 2: 1Now Moses kept the flock of Jethro his father-in-law, the priest of Midian: and he led the flock to the backside of the desert, and came to the mountain of God, even to Horeb. 2And the angel of the LORD appeared unto him in a flame of fire out of the midst of a bush: and he looked, and, behold, the bush burned with fire, and the bush was not consumed. Moses was on the mountain top, on mount Horeb… As we learnt last month, God has also repositioned us and many of us are not operating from the mountain top. The first thing he encounters on that mountain top is fire: And the angel of the LORD appeared to him in a flame of fire… And you know very well, according to Hebrews 12 verse 29… Thank You Father. Daddy asked me to tell you, get ready because the fire will fall tonight. In Hebrews chapter 12 verse 29, the Bible says our is a consuming fire. When you read 1Kings 19 from verse 11 to 12, you will discover that fire is part of the advance guard of God - when God is about to visit, fire comes first. It explains Psalm 68 verse 1 to 3, where its says let God arise and His enemies be scattered. He went on to tell you that His enemies would be melting before Him as wax would melt before fire. So, you know fire is advance guard for the Almighty God. So, tonight, you need the fire of God to fall. You need the fire to fall because God cannot engage in any meaningful conversation with you until the fire of God has purified you - you need the fire to come, to purify you. If you pay attention to the special song for this Holy Ghost service, verse 1 says God should purify us from all impurities, remove every iniquity. When you read Isaiah chapter 6 from verse 1 to 8, it tells you that when Isaiah saw the Almighty God in all His glory, where the angels were crying holy holy holy Lord God Almighty; and he looked at himself and saw how dirty he was And he cried unto God and say: woe is me for I am undone; for I am man of unclean lips, An angel came with coal of fire and use it to touch the lips. It was only that experience of kiss of fire that the Almighty God could now say to him in verse 8: who shall I send? who will go for us? And then Isaiah said, I am here Lord, you can send me. You need to purified. The fire that will fall tonight, number one, will be for purification. In Malachi 3 verse 2 to 4, the word of God made it clear, before He can even accept the offering of the Levites, they needed to be purified. So, you may want to write down your prayer point. Prayer point number one, of course, you want to thank God. The prayer points number two: Father, anything blocking my access to You, let the fire fall and consume it tonight. You see, because the Bible says in Isaiah 59 verses 1 and 2, he said, the hand of the Lord is not shortened that He cannot save, neither His ear heavy that He cannot hear, but your sin, your iniquity is blocking the way. So, many a times we pray, we fast and the problem remains, and you wonder O God, why are You not answering my prayers? Whatever it is that is blocking your access to God, may the fire of God fall tonight and consume them. Now, when there is fire on the mountain, when the fire falls, several things will happen; and we will use the example in 1Kings chapter 18 from verse 30 to 40 as our case study tonight. You know the story, it happened on mount Carmel: There was a competition between Elijah and prophet of Baal, both were to present offerings to God and to not put fire under it and each one was to call on his God and the God that answer by fire is to be God. The prophets of Baal presented their own offering and cry unto their god and their god did not answer because he was a dead god. And then, when it was the turn of Elijah, he said that in other that no body will think he had secretly put fire under his offering, he said they should drench the offering by several buckets of water Until everybody was sure, even if there was fire put underneath, with this water flowing, the fire will be out. Then, he called on his God, and fire fell. You and I will call on our God tonight, and fire will fell. The fire will fall for those who said amen. Now, when the fire fell, the Bible says the fire consume the sacrifice, it went ahead and consume the wood, and then it went ahead and consume the rocks, and then it went further and consume the earth round the place, and it went ahead and consume the water. We are going to look at those one by one. When the fire falls, it means your offering has been accepted. God accepting your offering means, He accepted you. Genesis 4 from verse 3 to 5 – you remember two brother, Cain and Abel, both of them offered offering to God and He accepted one and He rejected the other When God accepts your offering, automatically it means your prayer had been answered. You know, I have never really talk to you about offering, and the reason I don’t know how to take offering because there are people who are always looking for something to criticize; Particularly when the see a ministry like this God is blessing, that is while I have not spent time talking about offering But when God accepts your offering, it is a great privilege - He does not have to; God is not a beggar, anything that He wants to do, He has more than enough to do it. If you believe that, say amen. So, when you offer Him anything at all and He accepts it, it means He has accepted you. The time I see a man in sorrow, the kind of sorrow that I have prayed to God that I will never witness again, was when the church was still young. There was this rich man who had just joined the church and he came to the headquarters and brought us state of art systems – PH systems; I mean those days our amplifier we have to slap it before it will work, and then he brought a brand-new ph-system; he came in with flowing agbada, smiling, and all of a sudden, God spoke, tell him to take away his gifts I don’t want them. And if you are a pastor and you hear that kind of voice, if you don’t know the voice of God you will say: get behind me Satan. And we stammered when we are telling him: God, God, God, ask you to take away your gifts, He does not want them. He said what! Sorry sir, that is what God said. The man said, God said He does not want my gift? Yes sir; sorry sir. He went to one of the pillars in the church and began to bang his head against the pillar, weeping, sobbing: God rejects my gift, it means He has rejected me. I pray for everyone of you here today, may God never reject offering. When there is fire on the mountain, it means your offering has been accepted; it means you has been accepted; it means your prayers has been answered. 2Chronicles chapter 7 from verse 1 to 3, when Solomon offered that offering to the Almighty God, God wanted to show him I have accepted your prayer, I have accepted you, the fire came down from heaven; And the implication of that is simple: When God has accepted your offering, it means the reward will come and usually the reward will come in the day of trouble. Psalm 20 verse 1 to 4 says God remember your offerings in the day of trouble and send help to you. You see, is like when you are saving money in the bank, the reason for the saving is when you are in need you can go and withdraw; The time you need answer from God most is when you are in trouble. I am praying for someone here tonight, the fire will fall. Maybe your next prayer point, you want to write it down: Father, please remember my offerings and hear my cry tonight. When the fire falls, particularly on the mountain top, we were told that the fire did not just consume the offering, but it consumed the wood. Thank You Father. Daddy asks me to tell someone that the thing you are afraid of right now, is going to lead to your greatest testimony. The fire did not just consume the offering, it consumed the wood. I believed I have explained this in the past: every wood has fire inside it – that is while we call it fire wood – there is fire inside every wood But the fire inside the wood would never come out until there is fire on the wood. In other words, everybody has a potential for greatness, everybody; it does not matter who you are now, the potential for greatness is inside you. And tonight, the fire will fall and your potential will be activated. I told when I was very small boy, just going to the primary school in those days – when we are going to the primary school, we have a plate made of wood They just cut a bit of plate, paint it black for us; and then we go to school and they give us white chalk, About the first year in school, all you are learning to do is write letter A, B, with your church; 1, 2, 3, and your face will be full of chalk Your hand is full of chalk; you are cleaning the plate with your hand I was returning from school and an elderly man saw me with the plate on my head, chalk on my face, and said, hmm, great academician – I was a little boy. Another time I was coming from my little village and another very elderly man saw me and said Baba Eko. At that time,I have never travelled out of my village; I have never even been to Ife, that is the closest town, but he said baba Eko, and end up in Lagos. I don’t know where God want to take you, but you will reach your goal. I don’t know what He wants to make you but that potential for greatness that is inside you is going to be ignited by fire tonight. In Luke chapter 5 from verse 1 to 11, the Lord Jesus Christ said to Peter, you will be a fisher of men, and years passed, Peter did not win a single soul. Then the fire fell in the upper room and the fisher man began his job, it was not long that the shadow of Peter was healing the sick - Acts of the Apostles 5 verse 14 to 16. What made the difference? Is the fire that fell on Peter in the upper room When Philip joined the church, he was just ordinary member of the congregation And then a day came, in Acts of the Apostle chapter 6 from verse 1 to 7, and they were looking for members of the congregation full of the Holy Spirit – members of the congregation on whom the fire has fallen. And Philip was one of the seven chosen, and he thought that he has been promoted, repositioned; I used to be ordinary member of the congregation and now I am a worker. And it was not long after that that he went to Samaria - Acts of the Apostle chapter 8 from verse 1 to 8 - and through him a whole city God converted, Because he was full of fire, what was coming out of his mouth was fire; demons heard him speaking and they began to jump out. And God did not end there, you go to Acts chapter 8 from verse 26 to 40, Thank You Father. I think I too will want to say amen to this one. Daddy says there is a mountain that you have been wanted to move, that refuse to move, He said when the fire falls tonight, the mountain will melt. Acts chapter 8 verse 26 to 40, the Almighty God picked that boy, that small boy called Philip, sent him to somewhere in the wilderness, and there he met a man who was coming to Africa; got him converted, got him baptized in water, and that man brought the gospel to Africa. Philip did not know that he could become the Patron Saint of a whole continent. There is something great in you; you are far far great than you are now. Maybe your next prayer point would be: Father, let the fire fall on me, activate my potential so that I can quickly become what You want me to be. When the fire falls on the mountain, that particular special fire, it consumed the offering, it consumed the wood, and it consume the rocks. There is a fire that can consume rocks. I think I have explained that one before, the rocks stand for hardship, poverty of the most cruel type. That is when someone comes from a very very poor family, the elders will say he had a rocky start. Everything about him from the beginning was hardship. If there is anybody like that here tonight, the fire will fall. In 2Kings chapter 4 from verse 1 to 7… Thank You Father. He is healing several people here tonight. And He said particularly there is someone who discover recently that he/she had been getting tired quickly and repeatedly, he had not much and he is getting tired. The Lord asked me to tell you, He had taken care of that. In 2Kings chapter 4 from verse 1 to 7, the Bible tells us the story of a widow who grew progressively worse materially to such an extent that when creditors came… When creditors came means she has been borrowing and borrowing and borrowing, … and then the creditors came and said now we want our money, if you don’t pay, we will sell your children. She cried to a man of God, she cried to a fire carrier called Elisha, As the Lord lives, before somebody leave here tonight, you will become a fire carrier. You know, she woke up bankrupt, by the time she was going to bed, she had paid all her debt, and the Bible said for the rest of her life, herself and her children they lived comfortably. In Mark chapter 10 verse 46 to 52, you know the story of Bartimaeus If you are talking of somebody who is poor, Bartimaeus was poor. But when the One who baptizes with fire, that is the Lord Jesus Christ according to Matthew 3 verse 11, when the One who baptizes with fire was passing by, and end came to the poverty of Bartimaeus. He knew even before his eyes were opened that a fire is passing by here today; his garment of shame he threw it off. In the name that is above every other name, everything that links you to poverty will be destroyed tonight. Maybe your next prayer point will be: Father, let the fire fall on me tonight, and put an end to poverty in my family forever. But the fire did not stop with the offering, it did not stop with the wood, it did not stop with rock, it went ahead and consume the dust - and the dust is signifying the flesh. Because when God man He made us from the dust of the earth. When the fire of God touches your body, because you see in the song we sang: when we say fire, let the fire fall, let it touch my body, my soul, and my spirit (my body first) When the fire of God falls and touches your body, it means everything in that body that should not be there will be consumed. Because according to Isaiah chapter 10 verse 27, the Bible tells us that anoint will destroy yoke - sickness is a yoke, diseases of any type is a yoke, And when Almighty God touches you with His hand; the hand of the Consuming fire is fire, when His anointing passes through, whatever is wrong with your body, He put it right. John chapter 9 verse 1 to 7, Thank You Father. I want to say amen to this before I tell you. The Lord says there is someone here tonight, this year in particular, Psalm 23 verse 5 shall become fully operative in your life. I am sure you know what Psalm 23 verse 5 says? ‘Thou preparest a table before me, in the presence of my enemies… It did not stop there Thou anointed my head with oil and my cup runneth over. That will be the testimony of somebody from now on. In John chapter 9 from verse 1 to 7, the Bible tells us that Jesus saw a man, a man who was born blind, He spat on the ground, and made mud of the spittle and used that mud to anoint his eyes. Mud became anointed because of the hand that touch it. You know, years ago, some funny people who taught they were cleaver and said Jesus Christ was practicing medicine when He anointed man’s eye with mud and man went to wash and came back seeing. And the question asked is if that is medicine, why don’t you also go everywhere you see a blind man, spit on the ground, make some mud, and anoint his face and see what happened. But we heard a testimony here tonight that was one of the reasons I know God as gone ahead of us: Of a sister, who anointed of eyes with the wine of holy communion, and all of a sudden, he can see clearly. Haa! That God is here tonight; His fire will touch your flesh and whatever needs to be repair, He will repair it. In Matthew chapter 8 from verse 1 to 3, when a leper came to Jesus Christ, and say I know you can make me clean if You are willing; and Jesus said, I AM willing. He touched the leper and the anointing of God destroyed everything that is called leprosy. Those days leprosy was incurable, but just a touch, allowed the anointing to flow into the body and everything called leprosy disappeared. And maybe you want to write the next prayer point and say: Father, let Your fire fall and consume every form of sickness and disease in my body. You know, many a times, you don’t even know you have a disease until it has gone far. Many of the people that suddenly get diagnosed with cancer, the cancer is there they didn’t know. Every sickness, every disease that is hibernating in your body, the fire of God will fall and consume tonight. Thank You Father. The Lord asked me to tell someone, (this may have a double meaning), He asked me to tell you, your vision will begin to get brighter by the day. That could have a double meaning: It could be physical vision; it could be spiritual vision. So, I better say amen to it myself. And then, the fire licked the water. Water is supposed to be able to put out fire, but that is if the fire is ordinary. In this case, the fire that fell, consumed water, licked up the water, and the implication of that is simple: When the fire of God falls, it can wipe away your tears. In Luke chapter 7 from verse 11 to 15, the Bible tells us of a widow of Nain, she was going to bury her only son and then Jesus Christ the Anointed One, the Baptizer in fire, and touch the coffin, said to the woman, wipe not. And from that day onward, the woman never wept because that which is causing her sorrow had been removed. In the Name that is above every other name, whatever that is causing you to weep quietly in secret the fire of God will deal with it tonight. Because there are some people who will smile brightly in public but when they are alone at night they cry. And I am sure one of such people have been dealt with tonight: one of such people who was saying when will I share my testimony and God said by this time next month you will be sharing - that means He will be wiping away all tears from your eyes. The Almighty God has the power to put an end to your weeping; He can even turn your sorrow to joy. He can turn what is bitter in your life to sweetness. Afterall, in Exodus chapter 15 verse 22 to 26, when the children of Israel got to Marah, they could not drink the water because it was bitter and God moved; an ordinary piece of wood was thrown inside the water and they became sweet. When you read the story in John chapter 2 from verse 1 to 11 Thank You my Lord. Daddy asks me to tell somebody, that problem you are afraid of will never reoccur. In John chapter 2 from verse 1 to 11, the wedding in Cana, when the wedding was already on and all of sudden, they ran out of wine, Some of us may not know the meaning of embarrassment; And in the Name that is above every other name, for the rest of your life you won’t what is embarrassment. And Jesus turned it around and what was supposed to be embarrassment became a talk of the town: we attended a wedding, the wine they gave us at last it was heavenly. The talk of the town would have been: we attended a wedding, do you know they couldn’t even supply us wine? Whatever it is that is causing you embarrassment, the fire of God will fall tonight. And when the fire fell on that mountain, if you read it up to verse 40, in 1Kings chapter 18 verse 40, all the prophets of Baal, were killed in one day. All those who had been mocking, who had been saying where is your God; after fire falls tonight, you won’t hear of them again. In 1Samuel chapter 2 from verse 1 to 5, when Hannah was singing after God paid her great visit: she was able to say, those of you who say I will die barren, show yourself now, see what God had done. Maybe you want to write down your next prayer point and say: Father, let Your fire fall and consume everything that is causing me sorrow. Thank You my Father. The Lord says there is someone here tonight, He said you will understand. He said when the fire falls tonight, all the flies and cockroaches in your family will be consumed. Let us go back to Exodus chapter 3 Why do you need the fire to fall tonight? You need the fire to fall for protection. In Zachariah chapter 2 verse 4 to 5, the Almighty God promise to build a wall of fire round about His own. The best protection is that of a wall of fire. When people go into the jungle where there are wild animals, lions, etcetera, and they want to sleep at night, they always light fire round about their tents. And many at times they would look out from their tent and they will see the eyes of this wild animals. The wild animals see them as food, but to get to the food they have to pass through fire. And the elders have saying, no matter how a dog is, he will not touch fire. And you yourself know very well; you have never seen a mad man who died by burning. Mad people! If you see a mad man and you ask him to touch fire, he would laugh and tell you, do you think I am mad? That is while said those who are playing with the anointing of God, they don’t know what they are doing; they are trying to touch fire. And that is while I can pray here, right now, all those who trying to mess with our traditional rulers, the fire of God will consume them. Because ever traditional ruler, as far as God is concern, they are anointed of God. So, all those who think they can mess round with them, not only will the fire of God will consume them, nobody in their generation will ever become great. You need fire for protection. When you read Judges chapter 15 from verse 14 to the end, the Bible tells us that when they brought Samson bound to the enemies, as soon as the enemies began to rejoice, the fire of God fell The Bible said all the ropes binding him were burnt as if he was touched by fire. O yes, it was fire that touch the ropes, only ordinary could not see the fire. And I am praying for somebody here today, that kind of fire that witches and wizard will run away from, will surround you in Jesus’ name. I still remember the testimonies of one my daughters among the choir that kidnappers kidnapped and suddenly they had her crying, Lord of Adeboye please help me, help me, rescue me. One of them say, what did you say? You are one of his daughters? Yes. And quickly he stopped the vehicle and dropped her; and the one in the vehicle who were in the same gang: why did you drop her? He said that is bad business. From tonight onward, the enemy will see you as bad business. I want you to write your next prayer point, and say Father, let Your fire fall on me so that I become untouchable to my enemies. And then you need the fire, you need to become a fire carrier, so that you can subdue any enemy. You need the fire to subdue enemies. You know, in 2Kings chapter 1 from verse 9 to 17, a man of God was seating on the hill top, on the mountain top, and the king sent a soldier and captain to God and arrest him. They want to arrest only one man, he has not weapons, but somehow, they knew that man is fire, be careful. And they came to the bottom of the hill and looked up and said man of God come down you are under arrest. I like Elijah, he said if I be a man of God, you know I am a man of God and you came to arrest me; if I be a man of God, let the fire fall. And fire consumed the fifty soldiers and their captain; and the king did not see the soldiers returns. He sent another fifty soldiers and another captain; and they came the fire consume too. And then he sent another fifty soldiers and a captain, and that one had a little bit of common sense because when he came, he saw that one hundred and two soldiers left camp and they did not return I think he counted the number of ashes on the ground and said this is one hundred and two, He went on his knee: man of God, I am just trying to do my duty, I am not strong enough to say I want to arrest you. As the Lord lives, after tonight, your enemies will bow down before you. When the fire falls, you will become a vessel in the hand of God. In Acts of the Apostles chapter 1 verse 8, Jesus promised the disciples and said you shall receive power when the Holy Ghost is come upon you. Power! Fire power! And then you will become witnesses. Many of us with done even witness, we love to win souls, we love to work for God; what is missing is fire power. And the fire came in Acts of the Apostle chapter 2, when the fire fell in the upper room, Peter preached just one sermon and won three thousand souls. Many of you will love, I am sure of that, to be able to go through your village, or your town, or your compound and just say Jesus saves, Jesus heals, Jesus delivers, and by the next Holy Ghost service, you need a bus to bring your convert to the Holy Ghost Service How many of you will love that? You will receive the power tonight. You see, in Mark chapter 16 verse 17 to 18, the word of God says clearly these signs shall follow them that believe; in My name they will cast out demons; in My name they will lay hands on the sick and the sick will recover. But it took the fire falling on Peter for him to be able to say in Acts chapter 3 from verse 1 to 8, silver and gold have I none; but I have fire power; and he said to the lame man, I command you rise up and walk. By the time he grabbed him by the hand, the fire in Peter flowed into the man and the man got up, walking, and leaping, and praising God. I know one of the testimonies somebody will share next month is how you are beginning to raise the dead. So, you want to pray. You want to write down your next prayer point: Thank You Father. The Lord says there is somebody here, the enemies will hear about you and they will tremble. Your next prayer points: Father, let the fire fall on me tonight so I may become a vessel unto honour unto You forever. Thank You Father. This is very important. The Lord says there is someone here tonight, He says you will receive the grace to be humble. He said so that you will no longer suffer divine resistance. You know the Bible says God resist the proud maybe that had been your problem all along but God says tonight you receive the grace to be humble so that you will no longer suffer divine resistance. Let me conclude because tonight, and we not going to pray a small prayer, we have plenty of time. When you go through the Bible, you will find seven occasions when fire fell from heaven, and each time it fell, it fell on something. Leviticus chapter 9 verse 24, Judges 6:21, 1Kings chapter 18 verse 38, 2Kings chapter 1 verse 9 to 12 – twice, when it fell on those fifty soldiers and captain two times; 2Chronicles chapter 7 verse 1, and Acts chapter 2 from verse 1 to 4. Seven times that fire of God fell, there was always something on the altar for the fire to fall on. So, want the fire of God to fall on you tonight? Romans chapter 12 verse 1 says you must present your body a living sacrifice, holy, acceptable unto God. God you are looking for a sacrifice, I am here let the fire fall But He said the sacrifice must be holy. If you are a sinner and you say you are laying yourself for God, He is not interested in dirty sacrifices. That is while even if you claim that you are a Christian and you know you are not living holy you need to settle that tonight, this not an ordinary night; this is truly, truly a Holy Ghost night. So, I am going to give those of you who are yet saved; those of you you know you are still living in sin but you want Jesus Christ to save your souls and wash away your sins, I am going to give you few minutes to run forward. But I am also giving that opportunity to those of you who claimed that you are child of God but you are still living sin. You know you are backsliding; you know you doing those things you say you will never do again; you too can run forward and let the blood wash you afresh, and we finish that before we go to what God want to do tonight. So, if you want to surrender your life to Jesus Christ, I am going to count from one to ten, and by the time I say ten and you are not already standing before the altar I will just continue, the choice will be yours, and I am counting One, two, three, Hurry up, hurry up, hurry up, hurry up, Four, five, six, seven, eight, nine, Okay, thank you. Those of you who are already in front I want you to begin to cry to God for the salvation of soul, and those of you on the way begin to cry to Him and say forgive all my sins, let Your blood wash me clean, I will do Your will, I am just asking to be merciful unto me, save my soul; let Your blood wash away my sin and I will serve You for the rest of my life. And the rest of us let us stretch our hands towards our new brothers and sisters and intercede for them. Pray that the Almighty God will have mercy on them, that He will forgive their sins, that He will wash them clean, that they will become true children of God. Let us pray for them Brethren. And those of you still on the way, you have to hurry up now because I am about to pray; I am about to pray for salvation, and if anyone still want to come, you have to hurry up now, this is your day, your day of salvation. Thank You Father. And so, Father we want to say thank You. Thank You for Your word; and thank You for all the people who have come forward tonight to surrender their lives to You, Father please receive them, have mercy on them; let Your blood wash away their sins, save their souls; receive them into the family of God; and from now on anytime they call on You answer them by fire, and don’t let them ever backslide again. And if there are backsliders who have come to You Lord, please restore them Lord. Thank You Almighty God. For in Jesus mighty name we have prayed. Amen. Praise the Lord Now, I rejoice with those of you who have come forward I want to assure you from now on by the grace of God I will be praying for you and so some brethren are coming round you and they will give you card that I want you to fill very quickly You will write your names, your address and your prayer request and they will collate it and give me a copy and I promise you I will be praying for you. I will wait for you until you have finish then we will continue, and in the mean time we ask the choir to please minister. Now, before you come forward to pray, I need to let you know that how quickly a wood will catch fire depends on dry the wood is. How quickly somebody will drink water depend on how thirsty the fellow can be. At times, fire could burn through a large section of the forest and some trees won’t even know that fire has pass by. Something happened last week. I was in River State and went to minister in several places and in one of the places I lays on the sick, quiet a few of them, when I finished, I wanted to wash my hands, and there were two sisters, one was carrying the bowl of water with soap, and the other was carrying clean water. As I was washing my hand in the one with the soap, I just sense in the spirit that the sister carrying the bowl was hungry for anointing, and suddenly, I felt the anointing of God flowing into the water and frow the water into the basin, and from the basin into her hand and suddenly she began to vibrate violently, and someone had to quickly take the bowl from her hand and they quickly got her a chair to seat on. And she continued shaking under the anointing. And the interesting thing is, the anointing was still in the water, the anointing was still in the basin, but the one who took the basin from her did not feel anything. He did not! I told my children back there a story…, you know I have not told you many stories tonight, …of a man, quiet an important man who came to visit us and I just felt led after I have greeted him to shake hands with the drive. And I shook hand with the driver and the driver began to shake violently, shouting: o, a ye mi ti da; I shook the hand of the General Overseer You could see something was happening to him. The Oga that he brought was saying what was wrong with him? I said, can you here him? He said he shook my hand. He said but I have been shaking your hands all these years. When you shake my hand in greeting, what you get is greeting. When you shake my hand in hunger for anointing, that is what you will get. When you pray tonight, if you ask the fire to fall, whether the fire falls or not is going to be determined by you; God is here, is a very special night. Come to the altar if you want to; take your prayer points: Thank Him and then cry to Him and ask the fire to fall. If you are thirsty, you will be satisfy; if you are dry, the fire will fall. It is up to you, go ahead. Thank You Lord. Hallelujah Father. In Jesus mighty name we have prayed. Holy Ghost fire, fire fall on me Holy Ghost fire, fire fall on me Like the day of Pentecost fire fall on me Like the day of Pentecost fire fall on me Hallelujah
Holy Ghost fire, fire fall on me Holy Ghost fire, fire fall on me Like the day of Pentecost fire fall on me Like the day of Pentecost fire fall on me Hallelujah
Holy Ghost fire, fire fall on me Holy Ghost fire, fire fall on me Like the day of Pentecost fire fall on me Like the day of Pentecost fire fall on me Hallelujah ***speaking in the Holy Ghost*** Hallelujah ***speaking in the Holy Ghost*** Hallelujah ***speaking in the Holy Ghost*** Hallelujah ***speaking in the Holy Ghost*** Thank You Lord In Jesus mighty name we have prayed. In the mighty of Jesus receive the fire; receive the fire, receive the fire; o Lord! Receive the fire, receive the fire; receive the fire of the Holy Spirit; receive the fire. Thank You Father.
