EXCELLENT FRUITS 3rd of April, 2026

APRIL HOLY GHOST SERVICE

THEME: EXCELLENT FRUITS

APRIL 3RD, 2026.

BY: PASTOR E.A ADEBOYE

Let somebody shout hallelujah.

Or maybe I should say, only those who consider themselves children; anyone who consider himself a child in the hand of the Ancient of days, let that fellow shout hallelujah.

Someone gave a testimony tonight, he said that for a long time he was itching.

Now, itching was just an embarrassment, harassment, a problem that you can keep under the cloth that most time you are the one who knows it as suffering; and then the word of God came and said the itching is over.

When I heard that testimony, I trembled because only God could know that in this kind of multitude, there is someone who was itching and He solved the problem just by speaking a word.

And while I was thanking God there were I was seated, God spoke to me, He said there is someone here, your problem is like that of the fellow who was itching, you have an embarrassment, harassment, a problem you cannot even tell anyone about, Daddy asked me to tell you, because you came tonight, that problem is over.

I want to you, if you are that fellow to go ahead praise God, praise Him, He knows you, He can fish you out of a great multitude; that problem that is like a itch, embarrassing you, tormenting you, irritating you, and yet it is personal.

Thank You Daddy, thank You that the itching is over. Thank You that itching is over. Thank You my Father. Thank You Lord.

In Jesus mighty name we have worshipped.

Father of all fathers, the Source of everyone of us, we worship You. We thank You for January, we thank You for February, we thank You for March; now, we are thanking You for April, Father, accept our worship in Jesus’ name.

All we are asking You to do tonight is that as the Father of us all, please take care of all of us; meet all our needs tonight, and let Your name be glorified.

In Jesus mighty name we have prayed.

Amen.

Well, let somebody shout another hallelujah.

Shake hands with one or two people and say: the God who is the Father of all will take care of you.

And then you may all be seated.

My own text would be from Ecclesiastes chapter 12 verse 1:

Remember now thy Creator in the days of thy youth,

When are you supposed to remember thy Creator?

You see, there is a saying that ‘morning shows the day, even as childhood shows manhood’.

What your end is likely to be, whether you are going to end up excellent or mediocre; whether you are going to excel in life or you are going to be just one of those people, begins from now.

Morning shows the days!

Your parent will do their best, they have been told what to do.

Father, who has not been a good father had been warned.

The mother who did not know what supposed to do her duties, they had been instructed.

But it is one thing to have a good father, a good mother, is another thing to still end up excellent.

Let me ask this question now: how many of you would love to be at the very top?

If you believe that you are going to end up at the very top, let me hear you shout hallelujah.

I am going to be very brief because those who came before me they have done a very excellent job.

But I have told you the story of two boys, twins, born by the same mum; and one was a chairman of a very big company, and his twin brother was his driver.

I have told you the story before.

And when they asked him, the Chairman, how come you make you twin brother your driver?

He said, I feel very secure with him, we are twins, he will not allow any evil to happen to me.

How come, one ended up chairman, and the other one driver of his twin brother?

Let me ask you one more time, do you want to end up at the top, or you want to end up at the bottom?

Let me hear you say it loud and clear o!

Consider Joseph:

When he was still very young in Genesis 37:5 to 11, he was already having dreams, God was already relating with him; dreams of greatness, dreams that his brother will bow down before him, dreams that he will head the family – when he was young,

And he ended up, as you know very well, as the prime minister of Egypt; at that time Egypt rules the world.

But you know in the story on his journey from his father’s house to the throne.

There was a time when the wife of his master says, let us commit adultery and he ran.

Because he knew that is only God who can take him to the top.

My Beloveth children the Bible says in Proverbs 1 verse 10: my son, if sinners entice you, consent thou not.

If you are going to excel, be careful of evil friends.

You cannot say everybody is doing this thing; therefore, I must do it also.

You belong to God, and the only one who can take you to the top is God.

The only One you must never offend it God.

I have told you before, that when it time to pray, and they said somebody should asked for one thing, I have always told you, my only request is: God, please don’t let me offend You.

That has been my prayer since I gave my life to Jesus Christ because I know He can pick you from wherever you are and take you to the very top.

It does not matter how many enemies may be against you, if God is for you, all enemies will fail.

I am decreeing to those of you who are my children, I have prayed the prayer for you before, I am praying it again:

In the mighty name of Jesus Christ, you will all be greater than I.

I can give you several examples but time is gone and I know that some of these children if we take much longer, they will be asleep.

But we know many of the great names in the Bible they started their journey to greatness from childhood.

Take David:

David was a child, the youngest in the family when God brought him out and he became anointed to be king.

If you read that story, 1Samulel 16, I am not going to take time reading it to you, but you know the story.

When king Saul became made, and they wanted somebody who can play so that he can become calm, somebody said, I know one young man the son of Jesse, he is a very good musician.

He was already well known when he was a child.

The Bible tells us, God said, I have found a man, who will do all My will

He was a child when God find him; and you know the rest of the story.

If God is looking for a child today who can sing for Him, a child who can quote the scriptures, a child who can pray, a child who can witness to others, will He find you?

Morning shows the day; a childhood shows manhood!

You are small now, in the mighty name of Jesus Christ, you will not die young, you will be become excellent children, because you will be greater than I.

Consider Samuel, he was a child:

You can read the story of Samuel, you know him very well; you can read about him in 1Samuel 3,

When the high priest, the number one man of God, was no longer hearing from God, Samuel was hearing from God.

He started hearing from God when he was a little child; and then, he ended up becoming the national prophet.

You know, there are some people among you today who can begin to hear from God from tonight?

Do you know there are some of you who will become a prophet recognized all over the world?

But do you notice something about Samuel?

At night, when everybody was supposed to be sleeping, God called him, he got, and he thought it was Eli that was calling him and ran to Eli,

And Eli said I did not call you, go and sleep.

Yes sir.

If it were you, will you even answer that first time? Won’t you say, doesn’t this man know that somebody must sleep at night?

But God called him the second time, he ran to Eli the second time.

Take note, the kind of little boy he was.

Three times, when he thought Eli was calling him, three times he ran…

How do you behave when your parents call up on you to do something?

Do you do it with joy? Are you diligent? Do you grumble? Because morning shows the day.

Who you are now, will determine who you will become.

I have told you the story before

I travelled abroad, I came back after two weeks, my children came to collect me at the airport and it was very hot,

And I said, while is it so hot, has it not rained?

And they said, no Daddy, it did not rain.

And I said, did you not pray?

And they said we prayed.

So, I said, okay, it will rain.

And they said, yes sir.

Between Ikeja and here, it started to rain.

And so, one of the children came to me and said, what happened; what is the secret?

We prayed for two weeks, nothing happened.

You prayed casually; you did not even pray, you just said, ‘it will rain’, and in less than one hour, it started raining.

I said well, while I was away, did you disobey your mum?

Haa, no, who dears do that!

You know, if you do that, fire will fall. But you murmured?

You know, mama now, she will call you to send you an errand when you are enjoying yourself.

You murmured, and you expect answers to your prayers.

Let me ask you my children, how many of you from this moment onward will want all your prayers answered?

If you are one of such people let me hear you shout hallelujah.

Morning shows the day!

But I will take just one more example, and believe half a word is enough for the wise.

When we talk of excellent fruits, excellent children, we are talking about a child that is not just good, not just better, not just best, but excellent, you will find one fellow in the Bible, his name is Isaac,

And you know one thing about Isaac throughout his life he never caused his parent any trouble.

They named him laughter, and throughout his life, he brought laughter to his parent. That is very important.

I told you before, that where I am today, is by the grace of God and by the prayer, the blessings of my mum (you have heard that one before).

I happened to be the only son, and anytime I did something that please my mum, she will say: you this boy, you will call one fellow, two hundred will answer.

May I say to somebody here among you, one day, you will call one fellow, one thousand will answer.

And I told at time I did not under; how can I call one fellow and two hundred will come. What are the two hundred coming to do? Where will they come from?

But if I look behind me now, and I say, hey pastor come, without mentioning any name,

How many pastors do you think will be coming?

Isaac never caused the parent any problem, he was well thought.

Genesis chapter 22 (you know the story) from verse 1 to 18, God asked Abraham, I want you take your son Isaac, whom you love, and offer him as a sacrifice to Me,

You know the story.

As they were going, Isaac asked the father: Papa, I can see the wood, I can see the fire, where is the lamb for the sacrifice?

He was thought that you don’t go to worship God empty handed and he learnt well.

When the father said, God will provide, he believed his father.

When they got to the top of the hill and he suddenly discovered that he was to be the lame, remember, he surrendered completely to his father,

He was a young man, the father was over a hundred and fifteen years old; if he had struggled with his father, the father could not over power him.

Total surrender!

But do you know what happened?

God looked down there from heaven and said to Abraham, in blessing I will bless you…

Do you know what a blessing his?

A blessing is an addition. So, God said to Abraham, I will add to you.

But then, turned to Isaac and said ‘I multiplying I will multiply you’.

The youngest of you can do a little addition, ten plus ten equals what?

I can’t hear you.

Twenty.

What is, ten times ten?

Hundred.

God said to Abraham, I will add to you; but He said to Isaac, I will multiply you,

Which one do you want?

Addition or multiplication.

In the Name that is above every other name, all of you who would love to be like Isaac, my God will multiply.

Let me close.

Our greatest example of an excellent fruit, an excellent child, is the Lord Jesus Christ.

Remember, when God wanted to save the world, it was His only begotten son Jesus Christ that He sent, and the process involved Jesus Christ dying on the cross.

Today, is good Friday, is a night when we should be remembering what Jesus Christ went through, He knew the pain, He knew the agony, He prayed three times to His Father and say, Daddy, all things are possible with You, I don’t think I want to die this death,

Then, He added, not as I will, but Thy will be done.

And the Bible tells us when He surrendered like Isaac surrendered to Abraham, God highly lifted Him up and gave Him a name that is above every other name.

You may be unknown now, but do you know a day can come or shall I say, a day will come, when your name will be known throughout the whole world if you will learn to surrender; to be completely obedient.

Let me give you just one example…

Thank You Father.

Before that example, God has been speaking, is just that I want to be as brief as possible.

The Lord said that there is one child who is beginning to stammer, the Lord asked me to tell the parent, the stammering is over.

Thank You Father.

The Lord asked me to tell somebody here today; He said your journey to the top will be faster than that of your parents.

Thank You Lord.

The Lord asked me to tell someone, He said where your parents failed, you will succeed.

Thank You Father.

The Lord said there is someone who was saying, Lord, are going to leave me like this? He asked me to tell you: no o, I won’t leave you like this!

The Lord said there is someone here, He said you will be the Joshua of your generation.

Okay, I was going to tell you…

Alright. Thank You Daddy.

The Lord asked me to tell a woman here tonight, He said next year when they are anointing children, He said your own will be among.

Glory be to God.

The Lord asked me to tell one of the traditional rulers; He said within the next one year in every street of your kingdom there will be shout of joy of new birth.

Alright!

So, there is this young man, he is somebody you know, I can tell you his name, His name is Nathaniel Bassey; so that you can know I am telling a true story, you can ask him.

He was very young and one our churches, City of David, he was beginning just to come up with his trumpet,

And then one American guest came and saw him and said, this boy has a talent, let me take him to America.

And his pastor, Pastor Escor of blessed memory said, no! you will take him to America now you will turn him to something else.

So, they told the young boy, we want you grounded in the Lord; where God wants to take you, He will take you.

He agreed. He submitted himself to authority.

And you know what happened, that is history now.

America was looking for somebody who will be play at their presidential occasion, they could not find one in America, they looked throughout the whole world they came to Nigeria, they came to that same boy, and say, you are the one will want to come.

I have goodnews for somebody listening to me now, you surrendered yourself hundred percent to authority, you will reach the top.

And so, I am going to make an altar call now.

You know when we say we are talking to children, many of you will think that we are talking to this little little boys, little little girls, we are all children in the hand of the Almighty God.

The reason many of us are where we are is that we are not behaving the way we are supposed to behave like true children.

But things are going to change tonight because your future will determine by your decisions of tonight.

Thank You Father.

The Lord asked me to tell somebody here; He said in your family a new sun of glory will arise from tomorrow morning.

I was almost going to say, Daddy, what about me?

I mean, I know one of every evening like this, I always say this is mine.

So, I want to say amen to this one before I tell you.

Daddy says there is someone here tonight, He said like the sign by the sea shore so shall your spiritual children be.

Amen Daddy. I am saying amen again.

The Lord is saying (and listen to me carefully), He said like the wave of the ocean, one wave following another, so shall your blessings be.  

I am appealing to you, children; all of us who are children in the hand of the most high God, if you know your life has not been a life of total surrender to God, but you want to make it so tonight so that your morning can begin now towards excellence, come to the altar, come and give your life to God;

Come and begin what is called total surrender.

I am going to count from one to ten.

I know some of you are far away, so, if you want to come, you have to really move; particularly those of you in the old auditorium.

Before ten, come and stand before the altar, come and begin a new life of total surrender; come and become a child like Isaac. Total surrender!

I am counting now,

One, two, three,

Some of us claim that we are born again, but will only do whatever pleases us. Anything that is going to cause us any kind of sacrifice we don’t do it.

Whenever the Bible asked us to do something that we find a bit inconvenient we say, is that really true?

But you want to begin a life of absolute surrender to God, come now.

Four, five, six,

A life total surrender; a life of yes Lord, whatever God says; that is a life that is required to make you an excellent child of the most high God.

Keep coming, keep coming.

I told you when I had two cars, one a Lexus Jeep, another one a Lincoln town car; and God suddenly spoke to me and say, son, I want your two cars.

I said which of the two?

He said both.

How will I be moving about?

Because I have learnt to say, yes Lord.

Yes Lord, whatever You asked me to do, that is what I will do. Wherever You asked me to go, that is where I will go. When You asked me to seat down, I will seat down. When You asked me to jump, I will say, how high?

You want to begin a life to total surrender, come now.

Six,

You live a life of total surrender; you will begin to live not a life of addition but a life of multiplication.

Seven, eight,

The choice is yours, tonight can be the beginning of your journey to excellence.

Hurry up, hurry up.

Nine.

Alright, those of you who are still on the way hurry up; those of you who are in front begin to pray.

Call on the Almighty God and say Lord, I have come; tonight is not a joking matter, I have come for total surrender to You, take me over completely, body, soul, and spirit.  Forgive all my sins particularly all those sins of disobedience and stubbornness, make me true child of the living God, let Your blood wash me clean. Take over Lord, not just as my Saviour but as my Lord, and I will serve You completely for the rest of my life.

Go ahead talk to the Lord.

And the rest of us stretch your hands towards these people and intercede for them. Pray that the Almighty God who saved your soul completely will save their own souls also completely, that their salvation will be genuine and absolute that they begin to live a life to total surrender to the Almighty God will be giving to them.

Pray for them.

Those of you who are still on the way I want to pray now, so you have to hurry up.

In Jesus mighty name we have prayed.

And so, my Father and my God we want to say thank You. We want to give you all glory and honour for what You have already done in our lives tonight. And thank You for all these people who have come to surrender their lives completely to You, Father please receive them, have mercy on them, let Your blood wash away all their sins, save their souls completely, let them become genuine children of God; from now on, live inside each and everyone of them; and anytime they call on You, answer them by fire.

In Jesus mighty name we have prayed.

Amen.

Now, those you who have come to surrender your life to Jesus, let me hear you shout a surrendering hallelujah.

I want you to stay where you are, the counselors will come and attend to you where you are now, and we will wait until they finish with you before we go further.

Counselors, please come and attend to these people. They will collect your names, your address, and your prayer requests and I promise you I will begin to pray for you from now on.

Let us do that very quickly; and the musicians will play while we wait.

Now comes the moment when we want to anoint the children, and the reason for the anointing as you know very well, David was forgotten in the bush busy looking after his father’s sheep,

When he was anointed, the anointing destroys that yoke in his life, and he was brought into the open.

The second time he got another anointing, he became the king of a tribe.

Then, he got another anointing, then, he became the king of a nation.

He just kept on going.

As you get anointing tonight, you will then go and begin to cry Almighty God, we will not come to the altar tonight because of the children; after you have been anointed, go back to your seat and begin to talk to the Almighty God. Tell Him in what areas you want to excel.

I can assure you in the mighty name of Jesus Christ the anointing will do his job and you will testify.

And so, the musicians will continue to worship God. The Pastors are ready and you come to them, and they will anoint you, anoint your child or children and you can go back to your seat and begin to pray.

For two minutes, I want you to ask God for one thing, one single thing in which you want to excel beyond every body else. Just one thing. Go ahead, just in two minutes ask God. One thing where you want to excel above everyone else in the world.

In Jesus mighty name we have prayed.

The Almighty God will grant your request. In every facet of your life, you will excel. Your children will be excellent. Your families will be excellent. Your businesses will be excellent. Spiritually, you will be excellent. Mentally you will be excellent. In every way possible God will make you excellent. He will receive your offering. He will bless it. He will use it for His glory. And in the mighty name of Jesus Christ, you will never borrow again. even before the end of this month, the evidence of excellent will be in your life. And you will serve God till the end. He will go with you as you go and some excellent miracles will begin in your life. So shall it be.

In Jesus mighty name we have prayed.

Amen.

In every area of your life, you will have victory.

Who got the best miracles for tonight?

Let me hear you shout the most excellent hallelujah.
