Oh God, thank You; Alpha and Omega, we worship You; Ancient of days we bow before you. Thank You for January, thank You for February, thank You for March, thank You for April, thank You for May, thank You for June, thank You for July, thank You for August, thank You for September, Father, accept our worship in Jesus’ name.

Your children are here to thank You for the great things you did last month, we can never thank You enough, that You brought such a massive crowd and took care of every one of them; You brought children close to a number to a million and You kept every one of them save; You fed us, You protected us, You controlled the traffic, You gave us miracles, You gave us signs, You gave us wonders, we have fantastic testimony, You prophesy to our future, Father, accept our thanks in Jesus’ name.

As we are beginning our new year Lord, please do something new in our lives, let this September be a September to remember; and because You have kept us thus far, please keep us to the very end. Tonight, in Your own miraculous ways visit every one of us.

In Jesus mighty name we have prayed.

Amen.

Let someone shout hallelujah.

And then shake hands with two or three people and say: happy new year, good to see you.

And then you may be seated.

The text for tonight is Genesis 1 verse 26 to 28:

26 And God said, Let us make man in our image, after our likeness: and let them have dominion over the fish of the sea, and over the fowl of the air, and over the cattle, and over all the earth, and over every creeping thing that creepeth upon the earth.

27So God created man in him own image, in the image of God created he him; male and female created he them.

28And God blessed them, and God said unto them, Be fruitful, and multiply, and replenish the earth, and subdue it: and have dominion over the fish of the sea, and over the fowl of the air, and over every living thing that moveth upon the earth.

Tonight, we are talking about Children of Destiny as part four of Destined for Greatness.

And the first thing I want to say again, Mummy had mentioned it, God hates barrenness.

He hates barrenness because it contradicts the very first blessing; as a matter of fact, it was not just a blessing, it was a decree: God blessed them, and then He said be fruitful.

Be fruitful was not an advice, it was not an appeal – God was not beginning them; it was a decree.

And so, in the Name that is above every other name, everyone of you, be fruitful.

So, when barrenness is orchestrated by the devil, God already had a decree in place to take care of that.

In Matthew 15 verse 13, it is written every plant that my Father had not planted shall be rooted up.

So, allow me to start by decreeing that every fibroid must disappear tonight.

Whatever they may say is in you that is not allowing you to be pregnant, whatever they say is in you that is not allowing to be fruitful, in the Name that is above every other name, that thing will not be there by time the sun rises.

Number two, God love children.

In Matthew chapter 19 verse 14, the Lord says let the little one come unto Me, forbid them not.

And He even went further to say, they own My kingdom – He said theirs is the kingdom of God.

So, those of you who are trying to chase them away, you don’t seem to know who you are dealing with; these are the owners of the kingdom you are struggling to enter into.

If the Lord returns today, every child will go; whereas, they would be a lot of adults that will be left behind.

He loves them; and why does He love them?

Because God loves praise – that is reason number one.

Psalm 22 verse 3, He says inhabits the praises of His people.

Before I go further, I want to thank God for my son who give the first message.

That is the number one Evangelist in the Redeemed Christian Church of God all over the world.

When we are talking about Evangelist in this mission, that is number one; he is the best. I mean, there is no doubt about it.

If you listen to him very well, even as he is preaching you can see poetry; did you noticed that?

‘It might be necessary for it to be bitter before it becomes better’.

Can you get the rhyme?

‘Your attitude determined your altitude.’

‘Don’t jump to a conclusion yet because your present situation is not your final destination.’

Did you hear all those?

You know those of us who by the grace of God either compose poem or write songs we pay attention to words like that; but to him he just comes naturally, they just flowing; he is preaching and you think he is singing.

Come let us give the Lord a big round overplause.

So, God loves children

Why?

Because God love praises

And the Bible tells us in Matthew 21 verse 16, he said out of the mouth of babes and suckling you have perfected praise.

Nobody can praise God like children because they don’t care who is looking when they are dancing.

If I asked only the children to shout hallelujah, they will drown your own.

And it will surprise another reason why God love children, and I am sure you have never thought about this one before,

The reason number two why He loves children is because God loves noise.

No know, children are very noisy.

If you get to a house where everything is to quiet you know they are no children there.

Put two or three children there, there will be noise:

It could be laughter;

It could be a quarrel now – they may quarrel two minutes, another three minutes they are already playing again.

When you read Isaiah chapter 6 from verse 1 to 3, God gave us just a glimpse of what goes on heaven,

Angels are cry, holy, holy, holy, Lord God Almighty, all the time.

I have told you, if you don’t like noise, don’t go to heaven!

Look at Psalm 47 verse 1, God said, o clap your hands all ye people.

And then He went on to say, shout on to God…

Just in case you have some doubt about how much God love noise, read Revelation 19 verse 5 to 6, it was talking about a scene in heaven:

And he says a voice came out of the throne praise our God all ye servant and all ye that fear Him both small and great.

And look at verse 6, look at what follow: And I heard as it were the voice of a great multitude, and as the voice of many waters, and as the voice of many thundering, saying, Alleluia…

Let somebody shout hallelujah.

So, in case you have been wondering, I want to give you a very big secret tonight; in case you have been wondering, how come God loves Pastor Adeboye so much?

It is because he is the one that before anything he will say let somebody shout hallelujah.

You cannot ask me to come and speak and not hear that because God love noise.

So, those of you who quiet when we asked people to praise the God, you are cheating yourself.

If go along that line, we won’t get to where we are going tonight.

When you are looking for a place where it is not likely that you will come face to face with God, go to a cemetery.

Remember those people who came early in the morning, on the resurrection morning and they said they were looking for Jesus.

What was it the angel told them?

Why are looking for the living among the dead.

Why will you not meet Him in the cemetery?

Cemetery is always quick.

There is somebody here tonight you are the first one that God will visit.

Forgive me I, but I want to leave that aspect and go on, but it seems that Daddy is saying treat that one.

Do you know that God can performs miracle anywhere?

You agree with that.

How come then that more miracle happens during crusades that during normal church service.

Because at the crusade ground there is noise.

I believe you got the point now.

God loves children because of praise; He loves children because of noise.

Now, let me move on.

Daddy still wants me to explain:

When God says clap your hands o ye people,

Thank you.

Do you know it is in the Bible that trees clap hands?

Do you know, those you, if you have ever been to the beach and you see the waves rising and falling, rising and falling, you know what is happening, the ocean is clapping: rise, boom; rise, boom; none stop.

Do you know that the Bible says, you know all this passages, that it is written, let the people praise thee O Lord, le tall the people praise thee, then God, our God will bless us and the whole earth will fear Him.

Do you know that the secret of fearful miracles is when everybody, no exception, if everybody will unite in praising God, God will perform miracles that will frighten people.

So, I want to you to help me do something tonight, tell the fellow next to you, please don’t rob me of my miracle.

Tell the one on the right, tell the one on the left, I know you are a lady, I know you are gentleman, please at least tonight, don’t rob me of my miracle; don’t rob me please.

Now, that you have told them, look at them as you are going to do the next thing to be sure they are doing the same thing: shout hallelujah.

Thank You my Father and my God. Hallelujah. Hallelujah.

Amen.

I am sure you know that no liar will be found in heaven.

You know I will be telling you the truth; if I tell you if you go home now, it is already settled.

Amen.

Oh thank You Daddy.

You can write it down if you want to but Daddy told me that as a result of tonight service by the time we come for next year’s convention there will be at least a thousand set of twins.

Oh thank You Father. Thank You Lord. Thank You Father.

Now, let me try and share a little more with you.

Now, every child is made for a purpose; you know we are talking about children of destiny.

Every child is made for a purpose, and the purpose is to please God – that is all.

Revelation chapter 4 verse 11, God made it clear there: He created all things for His pleasure – that is all.

When you read the book of Esther and you read Esther chapter 4, you read from verse 13 to 16, Mordecai sent to Esther, he said you are born for a purpose my girl, and Esther said alright I think I get the point.

If I die in process of fulfilling that purpose, no problem.

Every child is made for a purpose!

You are made for a purpose; I am made for a purpose; we are all children of destiny.

Let me assure my brothers and my sisters, you are not here by accident, you are not listening to me now by accident, God has a purpose for your life.

Now, God hates barrenness, God loves children; He love them because they know how to praise, He loves them because they are noisy, and He made every child for a purpose, but then, God is sovereign.

What do you that He is sovereign?

He does has He pleases; He is the original Kabiesi;

The original Majesty – Psalm 115 verse 3, he said that God is in the heaven, He does as he pleases.

In Romans chapter 9 verse 20 to 21, the Bible made it clear, you are ordinary clay; He made you who you are, can you query Him?

If He decide that you won’t be born, you won’t be born.

I mean, as simple as that; and He has the right to make you a goat.

You don’t like it, sue Him.

He has the freedom, absolute freedom to make you a cockroach so that whenever people see you, they will be pursuing to kill you.

That is while when people say Daddy why don’t you say something when you see what is going on; I mean you were talking to your children and those who don’t have nothing with what you are saying decided to go wide, criticizing you right left and center

I said, God made everybody for a purpose.

He made bees to produce honey; He made wax to produce bitterness; everybody must do his own function!

Somebody said, kill some of them so that they will know that …

I am praying that nobody will die because of me; after all, God does not want the death of sinners, all He wanted was repent and live.

I pray they will repent is too late.

Oh God!

He is sovereign, I hope you will realize that.

When we are talking about God, who are you?

A king said that people should be worshipping him, he made an image and say bow down to my image.

God said, is that so? You are the one to be worshipped!

Okay, go and eat grass with animals for seven years and come back we will talk.

Do you know, the seven years that Nebuchadnezzar was eating grass God in order to show His superiority make sure that nobody took his throne –

I don’t want to kill this boy; he does not know what he is doing, I just want to teach him a lesson.

After seven years, after he came to his senses, I did not know that God is this great o; I am sorry.

All of a sudden, the chiefs who had been seeing Kabiesi eating grass they all gather together and say let us go and bring our king back to the throne.

We are talking about God, who do you think you are?

I mean, in another occasion, one king, Herod by name was talking and boasting, and people were saying it is not ordinary man talking o, he is God.

God said, Herod, you heard that you did not correct them, God said, worms eat him up.

You say you are king, are you king over worms?

Are you king over cancer?

We are talking about that Almighty

Let me hear somebody shout hallelujah.

You don’t know how privilege we are as children of God that…

Thank You Father.

Daddy asks me to tell someone, He said I will keep you in the hallows of My hand.

You are a child of God and somebody is threatening you: he says, I will deal with you.

Deal with me! Child of the Almighty!

I am sure some of you will remember the story,

Only God knows how tonight program is going to go but it is going to go well.

It happened in Benin, you have heard the story before, in a certain college (I won’t mention more than that),

The Vice Principal hate Christ passionately, as evil forces, and so even the principal was afraid of him.

And he made a decree nobody must mention Jesus in this college.

But then one of my children went to do his youth service in that college

You can be sure, where the son of Adeboye may go, they cannot keep quiet, and so very soon he has won quiet a few students.

And because the principal says nobody must mention Jesus in the school, whenever they want to meet for fellowship or something, they wait till night and they go to the open field in the dark, that is where they hold fellowship.

So, one day they were holding fellowship in the dark, on the grass, and this terrible vice principal caught them.

Oh, you are holding Bible study in my college after what I told, by tomorrow you will all be rusticated.

So, the children began to tremble; and my son, the youth corp went to God in prayer and say God help me, do something;

I brought Your name to this people, now they want to scatter them; if anyone deserve punishment, let me be the one who will suffer.

And the following morning came, and the children were in assemble where the vice principal was going to come and dismissed them.

The vice principal has told the wife what happened: tomorrow morning I am going to dismissed many children because they were having Bible Study.

And the morning devotion have started and the wife looked at the time and said haha my husband was going to deal with some pupils today, why is he still sleeping?

She went and go and knock the door (I thought you have heard the story before), she went and go and knock at the door: Baba Lagbaja, Baba Lagbaja; Baba Lagbaja was gone.

May I make a decree, all who says you will not be fruitful they won’t see the end of this month.

So, you are child of God and somebody is threatening you, somebody who can sleep and not wake up.

Alright, let me continue with my message.

God is sovereign, He is the Porter, we are ordinary clay, He can what He want with anybody; but He has special love for first born.

Number 3 verse 13, He says all the first born are Mine.

That is while in Romans chapter 8 verse 29, the Bible says Jesus Christ is the first born of many brethren.

Now, because He is sovereign…, please understand God because of lack of understanding of Him that limits our faith; …He may use anyone who is not a first to fulfill a special purpose.

Moses for example was not a first born.

You remember when he was born, it was his sister who was watching over him when they put him in a basket on the river.

So, Moses has a sister, he even had a brother; so, he was not first born.

David was not first born, God used him.

Me, I am the last born of my mother, not even second, not third, the last.

So, those of us who are not first born, you can rejoice also.

But majority of children of destiny are first born.

Why?

God wants the womb to be clean, undisturbed by the time He wants to bring forth a very special person.

So, if up till now they are looking at you as if you are barren, it may be that God is reserving your womb for a remarkable child.

For example, Isaac a child of destiny (I will talk a little bit about him later) came from a barren womb.

Samsom came from a barren womb.

Samuel came from a barren.

John the Baptist came from a barren womb.

Let me just add something, we know that God has a timetable for everything – Ecclesiastes chapter 3 verse 1 to 8,

God has a timetable for everything, but because He is sovereign, He has a right to even tamper with the timetable.

For example, John chapter 2 from verse 1 to 12

Thank You my Father.

You know, there are occasions when God is moving so mightily it is difficult to stand still, and this is one of such occasion.

The Lord asked me to tell you are story because it refers to somebody tonight:

In one of the churches I visited last month, I saw a girl in the crowd and the girl was crying, and you know I love children just like my Father in heaven.

So, I saw the girl in crowd crying, so I said, go and bring her; and so they brought her.

I say why are you crying?

She said I am so happy that you came to visit us.

That is while you are crying?

Yes.

And so, I blessed her.

The Lord asked me to tell somebody you will soon know the kind of joy that make people cry.

Thank you.

Now, God has a timetable, right?

He has a timetable for everything but He is sovereign that He can change not yet to now.

John chapter 2 from verse 1 to 12, in the wedding in Canaan of Galilee when they ran out of wine and the mother of Jesus came to Him and said Son, they needed wine.

Jesus Christ said, Mama, it is not yet time for Me to perform miracles.

But Mama said to those who were standing there, what He ask you to do, do it; and mama walked away, and all of a sudden, not yet became now.

I believe there is somebody here tonight that is it for you that it is written Psalm 102 verse 13: thou will arise and have mercy on Zion for the time to favour her, ye the set time is come.

If you believe your time has come, let me hear you shout hallelujah.

Thank You my Daddy.

The Lord asks me to tell somebody, He said as far as you are concern, (He says you will understand); He said as far as you are concern, no more fake news.

I believe your time has come.

Let me begin to round up

You see, because tonight after we have prayed at the altar, the Pastors have been prepared, they will lay hands on every one of us trusting God for the fruit of the womb, and for fruitfulness in every area of life.

Let me take just one of these special children and we learnt some lessons from him.

And I am taking this example; I have already spoken about this example on Monday at the Victory hour –

You know, Victory hour is the combination of Divine Encounter and Shiloh hour.

But some of us, many of us off course we did not come on Monday we have to go to go work.

I took Isaac, he is classical example of a child of destiny, a child that was to carry generational blessings; just as some people were carrying generational curses; Isaac was born to carry on generational blessings

God has blessed Abraham, and God has said through Abraham the whole world will be blessed.

So, what are the lessons we can learn from the Isaac?

I might not be able to go details like I did on Monday but at least we can take some of the point quickly.

Number one, Isaac teaches us that God is never too late.

Habakkuk chapter 2 verse 4, when God make a promise, it is going to come to pass.

That is while I almost jumped on my feet when one of my Pastors was sharing his testimony, he waited thirty-three years

Thirty-three years! Until the wife became fifty-seven years old!

I tried to imagine only God knows other people’s children he has christened; only God knows how many barren people he had prayed for and they became fruitful,

I am sure he must have been asking God what about me?

Thirty-three years, he found himself in the Redeemed Christian Church of God; with all humility he knows where else can I say I am going to?

God is never too late! My God is never too late! My God is never too late! My God is never too late! My God is never too late! My God is never too late! My God is never too late! And it is your time now.

Through Isaac we learnt, number two, that God can reverse the irreversible.

The Bible says the womb of Sarah was already dead – it is there in the Bible – but when God decides to do what He want to do, who is called death before the One whose name is the Resurrection and the Life.

I am sure I have told you, at least some of you must have heard me say it before

All the time that Jesus Christ was here, when He want to raise somebody from the dead, he never mentioned the word death; as far as He is concern, death is infra Dignitatem.

When He wanted to raise Jaruis daughter, He simply says, she is sleeping;

He is not going to mention death, that is glorifying what should not be glorified; He simply said little girl get up.

When He was going to raise the son of the widow of Nain in Luke chapter 7 from verse 11 to 15, He simple say, hey, young man, how can you be causing your mother sorrow, and the boy jumped up.

When He got to the tomb of Lazarus, He did not say, o death, don’t you know this man is my friend; I command you, lose him.

No, no.

Oh, I am so glad I belong to Jesus.

My Father stood up at the tomb after He had told the boys, roll away the stone.

He said, Lazarus come forth; He did not say death, release my friend.

As a matter of fact, I was not there o, there was a commotion when the devil heard, Lazarus come forth.

He was wondering, which of you is Lazarus? Which of you want to get me into trouble before my time?

Lazarus said I am here.

What are you doing here?

You brought me here.

Get out meh.

The womb of Sarah was dead, but my God is the One who can make dried bone live again. so, what is the problem with dead womb.

So, He can reverse the irreversible.

Number three, from Isaac, we learnt that God can turn sorrow to joy.

Only God knows how many months Sarah had wept, and wept, until it was too late to have a child anyway so she stops weeping.

One day, like this, her turn came; and God spoke, and she laughed, and that was the beginning of laughter.

I decree to someone here tonight, from tonight onward, you will laugh.

From Isaac we learnt that God can change defeat to victory.

You know the story, when Sarah saw that she was not getting a child for Abraham, she said take this my slave girl, she belongs to me, go into her, any child she produces is my child anyway.

And then the girl got pregnant and she started ridiculing the mistress: look at you, mama, the owner of the house, just eating, eating our master’s food, you cannot even produce a child.

Sarah must have felt totally defeated: look at this, I am the one who did this and there is no way I can shut her up.

And the Almighty God moved and turned defeat to victory.

I decree to every one of you who had failed, from today on you will never fail again.

From Isaac we learnt that all you need from God is just a blessing and that will turn everything round for you.

Study the Bible very well, all that Isaac got from God through his father is a blessing.

And that blessing turned him into man who became so great that the Bible says he was storing servants; he became the envy of a whole nation.

Is from Isaac we learnt that the best laughter is the last laughter.

It is from Isaac that I can say boldly, every one of you here tonight you will laugh last.

Let me say it one more time: you will laugh last.

Now, what is it that God expects from you.

Number one, you must learn to be hospital.

Inn Genesis chapter 18, you know the entire story, God was passing by, Abraham ran to meet Him and say don’t pass by, come and wash your feet in my house.

And while they were washing feet, please don’t just wash your feet, let me prepare food for you.

Sarah did not say, who asked you to go and bring these visitors in now? And now, will you say we should cook.

No.

She joyfully joined in preparing the food.

It was after the food that God said where is Sarah your wife?

And the promises of the years became a decree because she was hospitable.

The Bible says you never can tell you might even entertain angels unaware – learn to be hospital.

Number two, you must love God more than a child.

You must let God know just like that man said, my wife and I decided we will serve you God, child or no child.

God says, is that so?

You will serve Me, but you will serve Me with children.

And you know the story very well, you know that in Genesis chapter 22, you can read it from verse 1 to 18, there was a time God tested Abraham by asking him let Me have your child; offer him as a sacrifice.

You know the story.

The Bible says seek first the kingdom of God and His righteousness and all other things will be added – they will be added.

If He says He wants the child, make the child available.

As a matter of fact, it will be a good idea if you follow the example of Hannah in 1Samuel 1 verse 9 to 20, Hannah said, give me the child and I will give it back to you, I just want all this people who are mocking me I can also produce a child.

And of course, you must be holy.

I am sure you are expecting that.

When you read Luke chapter 1 verse 5 to 20, you will discover that both husband and wife, Zachariah and Elizabeth, they were all holy people, pure; and that was while they brought forth John the Baptist, the greatest of the men of God of the Old Testament.

And then of course, you must ask till your joy be full. John 16 verse 24.

Thank You Father.

God says somebody is here, here right now, on the Camp ground, Redemption City; (those of you who are listening all over the world you can claim it too but this is what God said); He said your testimony will be one of the seven greatest ones that will be shared next year convention.

Now, just in case some of us think that when we are talking about fruitfulness that fruitfulness is limited to fruit of the womb alone.

No.

Barrenness simple means fruitless efforts. And what is true for the womb can be true physically, can be true materially, can be true in your business, can be true in your ministry, etcetera.

You remember the story of Peter, I also refer to him in Luke chapter 5 from verse 1 to 7, he had tried and tried to catch fish until God step into the situation and he became very very fruitful.

If you are looking for a breakthrough, that is another word for fruit of the womb, in your business, in your career, in your project, etcetera, you must learn from Peter to surrender everything to Him and let Him become the controller of whatever you are doing that rest Him to be the master who will give you the breakthrough.

Thank You Lord.

The Lord proverbially to somebody that the fellow will understand: He asked me to tell you that your axe head will begin to function again.

Axe head! I am sure the fellow know what axe head means.

Surrender everything to Him and watch act.

I have told some of you before the first time I went to Kenneth Hagin camp meeting that anytime they have that programme they have a night that they set aside to raise funds for the work of God that they are doing.

And that particular time, about seventeen thousand of us there and they said to wanted to raise some money for the work of God.

And then one man raised his and said please can I come up to the altar?

They said yes come; hope you know what you are doing.

He got up there and said can I asked my wife to join me?

Sure!

And then the man said, everyone of you here, I want you to give generously tonight because whatever you all give added together that is what my wife and I will give.

Haa! What is this man saying?

There are about seventeen thousand of us from all over the world, and he saying whatever we all give added together is what himself and his wife will give!

And you know human beings; those who did not want to give before, just to put that man in trouble decided to give.

And he said please as they are giving count and they counted; and the total was three point five million dollars.

Everybody said, as we will say in Nigeria ‘God don catch you’, we will see how you will do that.

When they said the total is three point five million dollars, he looked at us and said all of you, is that all you can do?

So, I said I must talk to this man, he must know something that I don’t know; so, as soon as the programme was ending, I moved towards his direction.

Sir, I am all the way from Africa, can you tell me your secret?

There is somebody here tonight I am decreeing in the Name that is above every other name, a day will come when you will come before the whole congregation and say, all of you whatever you give is what I will give.

And the man told me his story.

He told his story of how he started his business with five hundred dollars and he said God you are going to be my chairman; I won’t insult you by giving you ten percent; I will give you ninety percent and I will keep the ten percent of our gain.

He said that was five years ago;

He said today, my turnover…, what do you call the one that is above the principal? Profit, that is what I am looking for.

He said my profit is now fifty million dollars.

He said I know what I am doing; he said the others don’t understand.

You cannot trade with God and lose; it is not possible.

Let me tell you truth, I don’t know while God is asking me to say all this thing tonight; probably is because tonight is very special.

Humble yourself – You are great, God has prospered you, you are mighty - don’t forget is God who made you who you are.

Do I hear amen.

Don’t forget He can raise beggar from the dung hill and make them to seat among princes.

Don’t forget that He can raise up and He can bring down.

Right or wrong?

Several years ago, when I was younger, I don’t have as much wisdom now then that I have now.

When some fairly rich people – fairly rich in that each of them as a car, and many of us in the church we had none, and the few of them began to behave as if they want to control what is going on; I had to call them to order.

I said thank God, God is bringing you, but before you came God was doing His work.

I said the first day you visited the church the chair you sat on you did not bring it from your house, take it easy.

They cool down fast.

Let me tell you in plain language my Beloveth children because tonight is a night that you won’t forget.

Without you God will do His work.

Is that true?

Answer me, is it correct?

There are some people who say hey thank God for what He is doing in the Redeemed Christian Church of God, what is going to happen now when Pastor Adeboye is gone?

Haa! Sooner or later if Jesus tarries, pastor Adeboye will go! But His God will remain!

When Elijah left and Elisha was going to cross river Jordan, he did not say where is Elijah?

What did he say?

You have not seen anything yet; I say you have seen anything yet; and I am not going anywhere yet but when I go that is when the real mighty things will begin.

So, don’t ever think that without you God cannot move.

Who are you?

Surrender everything to Him, let Him take over and then you will begin to see breakthroughs after breakthroughs, after breakthroughs.

You know God can bless you so much that you will say God this is becoming too much.

If you believe me shout hallelujah.

Don’t argue with God, please.

Don’t join those who are trying to manipulate the word of God.

When Jesus was here earth, when He speaks in such a way that market woman will understand; fishermen could understand.

He was not talking about heavy stuff, heavy theological something; no, simple language.

Obey His word, do what the Bible say you should and he will bless you.

I have goodnews for somebody here tonight.

Thank You Father.

Well, the goodnews I have for you let me tell you that one first before I tell you what God has just said.

The goodness I have for you is that God will remember you tonight.

But Daddy says somebody will soon be singing a song.

You want to hear the song?

Is a Yoruba song but I will tell you the meaning.

The mean is ‘my yoke has broken; my house has become a house of joy’ - ‘Ide mi ja, halleluya mo de’le ayo’.

Let somebody shout hallelujah.

Your yokes will be broken, your house of will become a house of joy.

Surrender your life to Jesus Christ, surrender completely;

Surrender your marriage to Him, surrender completely;

Surrender your business to Him, surrender completely;

Surrender your ministry to Him, surrender completely;

Surrender your kingdom to Him, surrender completely;

Surrender everything about you, spiritual or otherwise and let Him control.

And so, if you are here and you have not yet surrendered your life to Him, if you are just pretending to be a child of God I call on you now, please come and surrender your life to Jesus Christ.

I am going to count from one to twelve because I know quiet a few of you will be coming from a long distance.

If you want to surrender your life to Jesus come to the altar as I begin to count.

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

Okay, those of you who are on the way hurry up, hurry up.

Those of you who are already in front and those of you on the way, cry to the Lord and say have mercy on me, please save my soul, be my Lord, be my Saviour, come and take control of my life, I will serve You all the days of my life, let me become a true child of the living God.

Go ahead call on Him.

And the rest of us let us stretch our hands towards this people and intercede for them. Pray that the One who saved your soul will save their own souls also.

Let us pray for them for about two minutes. Please intercede for them. Those of you who are still on the way hurry up now because the next two minutes we will be praying for salvation but call on Him yourself:

Sav: Lord, be my Saviour, forgive all my sins, please come and be my Lord, let Your blood wash me clean; I will serve you for the rest of my life. I will serve You. Thank You Father.

In Jesus mighty name we have prayed.

My Father and my God I want to thank You for Your word tonight. I want to thank You for this people who have decided to come forward to surrender their lives to You, Father, please have mercy on them, receive them, let Your blood wash away their sins, please save their souls, receive them into the family of God and from now on let them serve You forever, don’t let them backslide, and from this moment onward anytime they call on You answer them by fire.

In Jesus mighty name we have prayed.

Amen.

Praise the Lord.

Now, I rejoice with those of you who have come forward to surrender your life to Jesus, I want to promise that by the grace of God from now I will be praying you;

So, we want you to give me your names, your address and your prayer request.

The Counselors I believe they are already there they will attend to you; they will collect the information that I want and they will let you go.

God bless you.

Do that very quickly and give the counselors the information they want and we will wait for you before we continue with the rest of the programme.

Thank you, choir.

Now, you may want to write down your prayer points:

Number one, you want to really really thank God for making sure that you are still alive today because as long as there is life there is hope. So thank God for life.

Then prayer number two, you will say Father, please remember me today. Remember my family, remember my business, remember my career, remember my ministry; remember me Father.

Then number three, say Father, visit me today. Because each time you hear in the Bible that God remember so and so, the next you hear is that God visited the fellow. Visit me before tomorrow morning.

Number four, Father, ban barrenness forever from my family. Ban anything called fruitless efforts permanently from my family.

Number five, Father, don’t let me fail again ever.

Number six, be bold to chose the children you want – a boy, a girl, you want a set of twins – and tell God, let my time come to have a boy now, or a girl now, or a set of twins, or triplets, tell Him as many as you want. Pray that prayer by faith.

And then number seven, the Bible says you are to love your neighbour like yourself. Tonight, prayer number seven will be for all those who should be married by now who are not yet married. How can they have children if they don’t get married? We will pray for all those who have been waiting on God for a future partner that God will remember them tonight.

And them, any personal request of yours can be number eight.

The altar is open; you can come and cry to God.

Thank You Father.

In Jesus mighty name we have prayed.

The Almighty God will grant your request. He will remember you today. This very night, He will visit you. In your life and the life of your family there will never be barrenness and you will never fail again. And even as you spoken in the hear of God concerning your choice so shall it be unto you. As for all those who are trusting God for partners, in the Name that is above every other name, even before this year runs out you will be settled. It shall be well with you.

In Jesus mighty name we have prayed.

Amen.

Praise the Lord.
