In the lives of everyone us Father please do something remarkable tonight; make this night a night never to be forgotten.

And please Daddy every evil left in this year that is coming to an end keep it far away from us. Whatever blessings may remain this year my Father and my God send to our home.

In Jesus mighty name we have prayed.

Amen.

Well, let someone shout hallelujah.

Thank You Daddy.

Daddy wants me to tell someone, He said you lost a miracle recently, He asked me to tell you, He will replace it with two.

Shake hand with one or two people and say: I believe tonight is my night.

And then you may please be seated.

My text will be Psalm 141 verse 3:

3 Set a watch, O Lord, before my mouth; keep the door of my lips.

You say, what are you saying?

The one who is going to be a gate protector, like I told you yesterday, must be strong and must be equipped.

You must not just be well; you must be whole.

And whether you know it or not, there are several gates leading from the outside into your inner man; several gates from the world that could lead into your soul and if you don’t protect those gates, you are not likely to remain whole for long.

Let me take gate one:  your eyes

It is with your eyes that you see things that are outside and what you see at the outside will affect what goes on inside of you.

If all of sudden, you feel pressed and you have to rushed into a latrine, a pit latrine, and sudden you get there you see all the mess; you just see, you can begin to vomit.

Because if see something extremely dirty it can affect you inside so mightily that you begin to react.

And the Bible says whatever you see, you can have - Genesis 13 from verse 14 to 15

Until you see something, something you have never seen before, you won’t desire it at all; and when you desire it, and then you can get ready to have it.

The first time I saw a carpet in the house of a professor at UI, I could not believe there is anything like that because being a village boy,

The carpet looks like this beautiful dress, beautiful cloth, and I was amaze: this man is so rich, he is spreading beautiful cloth on the floor!

You can hardly find a farmer praying that God will provide him a carpet because he has never seen one.

What you see is what you desire; what you desire according to Genesis 13 from verse 144 to 15 you could have.

If you see negatively, if you don’t watch the gate of your eyes, you can get something that will kill you!

You don’t believe me; ask Samson!

He just keeps on seeing strange women; that was while when the enemy finally got him through one of the people he has been seeing, the thing they did was to pluck out his eyes – that was the trouble maker.

If you read Joshua chapter 7 from the beginning to the end, (if you like, you may just take it from verse 19 to the end), there was man called Achan he saw something God had told the children of Isreal don’t touch, and he stole it and hid it,

When the secret was licked it was not himself alone that died, his entire family died with him. He saw!

When you see the wrong thing, when you focus on the wrong thing, it can end your future.

2Kings chapter 5 (you can read the whole story) you know the story of Gehazi he saw what Naaman brought, which is master said I don’t want, and he said, if Oga does not want it, me I want it.

He got it, and got leprosy along with it.

And since I am talking to my younger children in particular, please don’t be led into marriage by beauty; there are many beautiful demons around.

My prayer for you is that, you won’t see the wrong one.

If you see correctly, you can get everything that God has for you.

In 2Kings 2 verse 9 to 15, when Elijah was to be taken away and Elisha asked him for the double portion of his spirit, the only condition that Elijah gave him was ‘if you see me’.

Keep the gate of your eyes so that your eyes will not destroy you.

I don’t have time for stories for tonight; I believe half a word will be enough of the wise.

Number two: your ears –

Whatever happens inside of you has a lot to do with what you hear.

Faith comes by hearing – Romans chapter 10 verse 17

What you hear determines your faith.

But I am sure you also know that fear comes by hearing.

So, you have to keep the gate, you have to protect the gate of your ear.

Not just what you hear, that is important; how you hear it, how you analyse it, can determine whether you will get faith or you will get fear.

You know the story in Numbers 13 from verse 26 to 33...

Thank You Father.

The Lord asks me to tell someone, don’t be discourage, you are closer to your goal than you know.

And you better take that one because is coming directly from the Almighty God.

In Numbers 13 from verse 26 to 33, when the Spies came to report to Moses after they have spied the land, ....

And by the way, that my son said something about spy too; and when he was saying it for all of you, every agent of the devil that is already in your family they will expose them all.

When the spies came back, the report they brought was so funny:

They said the land we went to spy is flowing with milk and honey; they said look at the grapes, look at the figs, look at the fruits of the land, but then they went on to say there are giants in the land

And then they added, it’s a land the eats the inhabitants.

You said the land is flowing with milk and honey, there are giants there, and yet you said the land eat up people.

If it is eating people, where then come the giants?

But as soon as the people heard, there is trouble there, then the people there are mighty we cannot go in; that is all they heard, and they became afraid.

Be careful what you hear; it is important that you know whose report you are going to believe: Is it the report of the doctor?  

God bless doctors, they are wonderful children of God.

But occasionally, doctors will tell you, there is nothing else we could do.

If you hear that, that could be goodnews.

How can that be goodnews?

Because they are finally handing you over to the One who made you.

Thank God for mechanics but no mechanics is as good as the maker.

Is God who made you and the Almighty God says by His stripes you were healed.

I was telling someone not too long ago it does not matter what the doctor may say, if your time has not come, you will not die.

When your time comes, even if hundred doctors are looking after you, you will still die.

So, every true child of God should make up his or her mind, I will not be afraid of death, when it comes, it comes. Until it comes, I will remain healthy and strong.

After all, the Almighty God said let the weak say I am strong.

Let me ask you a simple question: how many of you will be here at the first Holy Ghost service of 2026?

Are you sure?

Haa, but you don’t know what is yet to come?

Why are you so sure?

I will live; I will not die.

I am not talking about you; I am talking about myself now.

What you hear...; that boy said, he said all that God is asking you to do is just stand, see, and ear what God wants to do.

Keep your ears open.

Keep the gate, protect the gate of your mouth – that is number three.

That is while I read that text to you.

David prayed, he said set a watch before my mouth; before I say anything that I should not say, put there a trap that will catch the word before it will come out of my mouth.

If you are not going to say something positive, keep your mouth shut.

I know quiet a few people have challenged me; they said how come that anytime you prophesy, you always prophesy good things to your children.

What do you want me to say?

They said when you are preaching you said ‘there is someone here is going to be well with you’; ‘there is someone here who will never weep again’.

So, I said what do you want me to say?

What do you say to your own children?

Because God has said, as I hear in ears so will I do unto you.

Lift your hand to the Almighty God and say, I declare in the mighty name of Jesus, it is going to be well with me.

The Bible says, how you use your mouth will determine whether you will live or die.

Proverbs 18 verse 21, the Bible says death and life are in the power of the tongue.

It is up to you; it is what you say that is going to be ultimately become your portion.

The elders have a saying, at least in my part of the country, they said it is the mouth of the man who is coughing that he uses to inviting death.

What did they mean by that?

A man is coughing and each time he coughs he announces it looks as if this cough is going to kill him o; and he will end up dying.

In the mighty name of Jesus Christ, your mouth will not kill you.

Which is while every true child of God should not be a talkative, because if you talk too much...

According to Ecclesiastes chapter 5 verse 3, the Bible says a fool is known by the multitude of words.

If you know you cannot control your tongue, you just want to talk, please instead of talking use it to pray. Pray!

When the seniors’ pastors here hold a meeting; there is a special meeting they hold once a year; I don’t mind tell you the secret, and they called the meeting solemn assembly.

During that period, they are not allowed to talk – you come, sit down, you listen.

Once you come the first day, you greet one another and you keep quiet until before you go.

Why?

Because when you keep quiet, when you keep this mouth shut, when it is time to pray because the mouth has been kept shut for so long, you explode in prayer.

And I have warned you before, if you hear a word of prophecy and you find it difficult to believe, don’t say so.

Because if you speak out your doubt, one of the ways you can be injured is that God could use you as an illustration of doing what He says He will do and making sure you don’t partake.

2Kings chapter 7, you can read the whole story, God said within twenty-four hours there would be abundance.

Somebody who claim to be intelligent, somebody who think he knows more than everybody else said, how can that be?

And God replied, it will happen, you will see it, but you won’t partake of it.

When I said to you in March that the Almighty God is going to raise several billionaires there are some of you who did not believe that it will happen.

But I have goodnews for you it will happen.

Let me decree, you will be part of them.

Watch your mouth, I don’t want to say too much about that, be careful particularly how you open and close that mouth.

The Bible says in multitude of words there wanted not sin – don’t commit a sin by speaking too much.

Now, I want to move onto..., how many gates have we mentioned?

Eyes, ears, mouth.

Gate number four:

Thank You Father.

The Lord asks me to tell somebody your own dry season is over.

You know somebody is going to testify on that next month.

Thank You my Father.

The Lord asks me to tell someone, He said because you have been honouring your parents I will see to it that you are honoured.

Thank wants to speak, we better allow Him.

The Lord asks me to tell someone who has just suffered a disappoint; He asked me to tell you, ignore those who disappointed you, I will help you.

The Lord asks me to tell someone He said I want you to praise Me more and I will see to it where others fail you succeed.

Gate number four is what we called the touch gate.

How do you know that something is hot, particularly if your eyes are close?

Is by touching it.

How do you know something is cold?

Is by touching it.

How can you receive tremendous miracles from God?

Is by touching Him.

Mark chapter 5:25 to 34, that woman said if I can just touch the heal of His garment, I know I will be healed.

She did and she was healed.

God said you can even be healed by hands being laid on you.

The hand that is laid on you can transfer power into you so that what is inside of you can be heal.

God says in 2Corinthians chapter 6 verse 17, He says touch not an unclean thing and I will receive you.

He says watch the gate of your touch; don’t touch what you should not touch if you want God to receive you.

Now, I think I need to remind you of this story just to let you know how important touching is.

I told you once, when I was at the University of Lagos, I wrote a letter, personal letter, and because of my position in the University I have envelops, University envelops I am supposed to us to pass information from one point to another.

And I wanted to take that envelop and I hear the voice of the Lord loud and clear that envelop is meant for official things, not for your private letter.

So, I was going to take when I heard that and my hand stopped.

And I had to say to the Lord, how much is an envelop – one envelop?

And the Lord said to me, Son, if it is so cheap while don’t you buy your own.

Be careful with what you do with your hands, God is watching; particularly if you are special to Him, He won’t tolerate any non-sense from you.

Watch what you do with your hand!

Let me move on to five, maybe some other time we have not gotten this far into the night, we might even come back to this lesson and go over it again.

Watch the gate of your nose.

In Genesis 2 verse 7, when God formed man out of the mud the Bible said He breathed into his nostrils the breath of life.

Your nostril they are the real gate of life, probably one of the most important gates into your life.

What made corona virus so fearful was that it attacks your breathing system – that is while people fear it.

Because the moment you cannot breathe anymore you are on the way out.

When somebody died, they will say he has given up the ghost;

If you are there when somebody dies there is this noise that they make when the last breath is coming out – they say he has breathed is last breath.

When you read John chapter 20 verse 21 to 22, the Bible says something very peculiar, that Jesus Christ breath on the disciples and said unto them receive ye the Holy Ghost.

Beware of the company of the you keep; be careful where you hang out, because where you hang out determines to a very large extent what you are breathing in,

And what is coming out of the other people that you are breathing in, to a very large extent can determine whether you remain fill of the Holy Spirit or whether you are filled with demons.

I wish I had to the time to explain better.

Once upon a time, if you are traveling by aeroplane, they break the places where you stay in the aeroplane into two sessions: they called one, smoking session, and they called the other, non-smoking session.

So that when you enter the plain, those who smoke they can stay in one session; and those who don’t smoke they can stay in another session,

Until they discover scientifically that even if you are not a smoker, if you are breathing in the smoke coming from smokers you are in greater danger of cancer that those who are smoking themselves.

Who do you hang out with?

Are your friends’ people who are filled with the Holy Spirit?

Or are they those from their talking, from the kind of jokes they share are filled with other kind of spirits?

Alcohol, strong alcohol is called spirit; do you know that experts on alcohol want to tell you how old a particular alcohol is, many at times what they do is they smell it.

What goes through your nose can have some very serious impact on your life.

So, when you hear that on the day of Pentecost the Holy Spirit came into force; force as a rushing mighty wind, and then as touch of fire (which one of my sons had already discussed)

If there is anything that can come unseen and yet be very very powerful, it is the wind.

Something we breath in can determine a lot about what happen to us.

So, when you hear from the Act of the Apostles chapter 5 from verse 1 to 11,

Thank You Father.

The Lord says there is someone here tonight, He said you will soon discover that one of My principal names is wonderful.

Believe me honestly, I want to say amen to that one too.

And Lord said there is someone here tonight, He asked me to tell you, He says it is My mercy that brought you thus far, I will show you mercy again.

Where do you gather?

Because Proverbs 21 verse 16 says backsliders gather in the congregation of the dead.

Protect the gate of your womb; that is while they call it private part anyway.

Keep yourself pure!

When God wants to do something very special, He selects wombs that have not being defiled.

In Luke chapter 1 from verse 26 to 38, the Bible made it clear to us that Mary was a virgin.

I am talking to the youth; keep yourself pure because if God wants to bring somebody special into the world, He is going to look for wombs that have not been defiled. Watch out!

Don’t say because some of you will hear that others are doing it, you are not others, you are special. Keep yourself pure!

As for the boys, keep your vessel pure too because there is something called sexually transmitted diseases; and nothing kills like that.

And if you don’t keep that vessel pure, and you catch one of these STDs, and the problem is it takes a lot of pain before you summon up courage to even tell the doctors that you have, and by which time a lot of damage would have been done to your inner man.

And I know some of you will begin to say, daddy what is going on, today is supposed to be Holy Ghost service?

It is! This is youth convention and I want it to be well with you my children and nobody can tell you the truth like me because you are going to be healthy.

I did not hear you amen.

You are going to be great; you are going to produce great people.

Don’t let the devil deceive you into thinking that just one can’t make a difference – that is one of the lies of the devil. Keep yourself pure!

Protect the gate to your womb! It is very important; keep yourself pure, keep yourself unspotted from the world.

Maybe I will just mention one or two more gates and just allow you to go and pray, the Holy Spirit will help me to pass the rest to you.

Protect the name of the Lord.

Exodus chapter 20 verse 7 says you must not take the name of the Lord thy God in vain.

Don’t use the name of the Lord casually.

Every true child of God, if you make a statement and you back it up ‘in Jesus’ name I say this one’ we should be able to take you at your word.

People are likely sooner or later to ask you, certain things may happen that may cause people to ask you: haha, where is your God?

Psalm 115 verse 1 to 3, when they ask you such a question, your answer will be that God is in heaven He does as He pleases.

Don’t deny the Lord, don’t deny His name; as the Lord lives who has sent me to you, your tomorrow will be alright.

Thank You Father.

The Lord asks me to tell you (and I want to say amen to this), He says there is someone here who will never be stranded again.

I think Daddy is not talking to me because Daddy is saying there is someone here tonight, He said all your dreams of greatness shall be fulfilled.

Let me say amen to this again.

God says I will help you finish your race and you will win.

Thank You Daddy.

I know Daddy is rewarding me because it takes a quiet a bit of courage to preach this kind of sermon to those of you, but you are my children and I think I have the right and the duty to say the truth as it is.

So, what is the first gate we are to watch?

Gate of the eyes.

The second?

Say it loud and clear, I want to be sure I have done my duty.

Number three? Number four? Number five? Number six, Number seven?

Alright!

Let me close with biggest gate of all and that is the gate to eternity.

You know, the Bible says broad is the way, wide the gate that leads to hell; narrow is the gate, straight the way that leads to eternal life.

There are people who will say why are you taking things so hard, what is wrong with this your father? This stupid old man who is as it were making life a bit tough for you.

Is not everybody going to heaven!

What did I say?

Jesus Christ said not everybody who say to me Lord Lord will even enter into heaven; He said so.

He even when ahead and said some people who on the last day will say in Your name I cast out demons, in Your name I performed miracles, He said I will say to them, I don’t even know you.

There is this gate to eternal it is the gate that goes through the Lord Jesus Christ, I am sure you already know that.

He Himself said so in John chapter 14 verse 6 says I AM the Way, the Truth and the Life, no man can come to the Father but by Me.

Is not everybody who calls himself a Christian who is a Christian; don’t be deceived.

If you claim to be a Christian and you are still indulging in sin, you are not going to heaven.

The word of God is clear, that is while I keep hammering it: without holiness no man shall see God.

And I want to see you in heaven.

I may not be popular, I don’t want to be popular, I prefer people just live me alone; if you don’t like my way of living the Christian life, no problem.

But if you follow holiness, if you follow the way of holiness, one day I will see you in heaven.

A convention is good, we have had a very wonderful time but of what use is our gathering together, singing together, clapping together, and then we get to heaven we don’t see you there.

I pray in the Name that is above every other name, anything that will hinder your way to heaven the Almighty God will destroy.

Be holy! Don’t say I did not tell you.

The moment I discovered that holiness is the master key; and one of my sons said, it is the one who holds the key who is in charge,

The moment I discover that holiness is the master key I knew by the grace of God my case is settled.

And I was so anxious to tell everybody that we held a total congress and titled Master Key.

I pray that the Almighty God who gathered you under my watch...

I thought you will say amen to that.

Finally, those of you who have not given your life to Jesus Christ, you know what? There is a gate to eternity.

If you do not genuinely surrender your life to Jesus Christ you are not going to heaven.

But you can use the opportunity of this youth convention to enter gate that is leading to heaven.

So, if you want to give your life to Jesus Christ, I am going to count from one to ten, and before I say ten, make sure you are already standing before the altar.

Either the altar here or the altar in the old auditorium, or the altar in all the other viewing centres all over that world.

If you are not in viewing centre maybe at this moment you are even in a car, stop the car, let God know you mean business that you are taking a decision now that from this moment onward you will not just surrender your life to Jesus Christ, you will do His will for the rest of your life.

So, if you want to give your life to Jesus Christ begin to come now very quickly as I count.

One, two, three, four, five, six, seven, eight, nine,

Okay, those of you who are still on the way keep coming, hurry up, particularly those of you in the old auditorium and pray as you come.

Those of you who are already in front, cry to the Almighty God and tell Him I don’t want to go to hell, I want to spend my eternity with You in heaven. Lord, save my soul, forgive all my sins, become my Lord and my Saviour, and I will serve You for the rest of my life.

The rest of us let’s stretch forth our hands toward this people and intercede for them: Pray that the Almighty God will have mercy on all this people that He will save their souls and give them a brand-new beginning so that from now on, all their sins will be gone and they become children of the living God.

Let us pray for them, let us intercede for them, let us intercede for them for another one minute.

Those of you who are still on the way, hurry up now.

Thank You Father.

In Jesus mighty name we have prayed.

My Father and my God I want to thank You for Your word. I want to thank You for this people who have come forward to surrender their life to you, please receive them, have mercy on them, let Your blood wash away their sins, save their souls Lord, write their names in the book of life; and from now on, the grace to do Your will give unto them, and whenever they cry unto You please answer them by fire.

For in Jesus name we have prayed.

Amen. Amen.

Those of you in front let me hear you shout hallelujah.

I want to assure that from now on by the grace of God I will be praying for, and so I will love to have your names, your address, and your prayer request.

There are some counsels coming to collect the information from you and then they will let your go and I promise you I will be praying for you.

Now, while we are waiting for this people maybe you want to write down your prayer points.

Number one, you want to praise God for allowing to hear this message because is a message that will change your life permanently.

Number two, Father, please help me to protect the gates of my eyes. And Father, help me to protect the gates of my ears. And help me to protect the gate of mouth.

Father, please help me to protect the gate of my nose.

Father, help me to protect the gate of my womb.

Say Father, don’t let me go to hell, keep me holy and pure.

And then you can add your own prayer request.

I am going to give you only about fifteen minutes to pray. Because tonight we still want to lay hands on as many of you as you want and we are still going to be anointing our graduands from Redeemer’s University.

So, for about fifteen minutes pray with all your heart; remember that my daughter said, if you pray power will be released, and God will give you more than you asked for. And God will apply the law of substitution that those who want to destroy you will pay with their own lives.

So, pray with all your heart, call on the Almighty God and say help me; help me to protect the gates of my eyes, my ears, my mouth, my touch, my nose, and my womb. Don’t let me go to hell Lord; keep holy and keep me pure.

In Jesus mighty name we have prayed.

The Almighty God who has caused you to attend this Youth and Young Adult Convention will intervene in your affairs. From now on your eyes will not see evil; you will only hear good reports. Your mouth will not get you into trouble. You will never touch evil again. The Almighty God in His infinite mercy will make sure that that nostrils of yours will only breath in life. And He will help you to be pure. He will help you to live holy. I decree you will not go to hell. The gate o will not be shut against you. And whenever you call the name of Jesus it will be for miracles, for signs, for wonders, for answered prayers. And everything that you have requested of the Lord He shall give unto you.

So shall it be.

And He will help to honour your parent and you too shall be honoured.

In Jesus mighty name we have prayed.

Amen.

Let us shout hallelujah as we go.
