Thank You for 2025, thank You now for 2026, thank You for yesterday, thank You for today, thank You for tomorrow, please accept our worship in Jesus’ name.

In this new year Lord, I have a cry to You for me, for all Your children, particularly in the Redeemed Christian Church of God, Lord God Almighty, please send help to us; in every facet of our lives please God send help to us. In this new year, beginning from right now, Father please send help to us.

In Jesus marvelous name we have prayed.

Amen!

Well, let somebody shout hallelujah.

Now, when I say shout hallelujah, this year, I mean, shout it as if you mean it.

I beg you that for the rest of this year, your hallelujah must not be weak.

You are still going to…, maybe, only one fellow should shout this one. You did not allow me to tell you who that fellow is.

There is someone here tonight who wants to announce to heaven that this year I will not miss a single opportunity.

Shake hands with two or three people you have not seen this year: hello Brother, hello Sister, happy New Year

And then you may please be seated.

Today, the Almighty God is helping us to talk on Brand New Beginning Part One.

2Corinthians chapter 5 verse 17:

17Therefore if any man be in Christ, he is new a creature (not, like he said, not a panel beating creature, not a refurbish creature but a new creature): old things have passed away; behold, all things are become new.

In the Name that is above every other name, that will be your testimony from now on.

When we talk about brand-new beginning, this can be in various forms:

Physically, we have example of Naaman - I will be talking more about him tonight.

But you know the story in 2Kings chapter 5 from verse 1 to 14, he spoke about a leper that God healed, and the Bible says his flesh returned to him as that of a new born baby. – brand new!

In Name that is about every other name, before this night is over, your body will become brand new.

Materially, in 2Kings chapter 4 from verse 1 to 7, it tells us the story of the woman who was completely destituted, heavily in debt, so badly that the creditors checked her house and find out that the only thing of value are the sons, and they even wanted to sell the sons to pay the debt,

But God gave her a brand-new beginning; not only was her debt paid but she had enough money never to borrow again.

I am believing God for some of us this year, whatever debt we are owing will all be paid.

And I am believing God that God will do something for us this year that we will never borrow again.

Maritally, when we talk about a brand-new beginning, we could consider the case of Sarah, that nobody ever thought that she would ever have a child.

The Bible even tells us that are womb was dead.

If God says something is dead, it means dead; and then God gave her a brand-new beginning.

And I am believing God that this year every impossibility in the life of any of us will be made possible.

When we talk about brand-new beginning we could talk about it mentally.

The Bible says in James chapter 1 verse 5 to 7, that if anybody lack wisdom, they should ask God that He will give to them liberally.

Brand new beginning could mean that somebody who is so dull, he himself knows he is really really dull could end up the year genius.

I mean, after all, you remember Solomon when God said what do you want?

If what is dying of thirst and you asked him what do you want? He will say water.

If a man is dying of hunger, and you say what do you want? He will say food.

Solomon what do you want?

He said, I am so dull, and I know I am dull; what I want is wisdom.

I am believing God particularly for our students, this year you will surprise your professors.

When we talk about brand-new beginning spiritually speaking, it could be in two parts:

When you consider the case of the madman of Gadarene; some people say I always talked about him; yes I do because his miracle is a very special one.

The man who was so mad that mad people will see him coming and run, got a brand-new beginning;

It was not that, yes, he was healed but he just remains a little bit, no!

Man, who was evangelist for satan, became an evangelist for God – that is a brand-new beginning.

Or, we can look at it from the perspective of Saul of Tarsus, who himself claim chief among sinners and ended up becoming a chief among the Apostles – that’s a brand-new beginning.

Whatever you need, whatever God has to do in your life that long before the middle of this year, even yourself will find it difficult to recognize yourself, the Almighty God will do it for you.

But tonight, I want to start with physical, and I have chosen to discuss with you the story of Naaman, and you can find it in 2Kings chapter 5 from verse 1 to 14.

If were to be in the olden days, we would read the whole thing and everybody will be following as we do.

I will just read a little bit of it: 2Kings chapter 5, maybe I should just read from verse 1 to 4, and you will get the rest of the story.

1Now Naaman, captain of the host of the king of Syria, was a great man with his master, and honourable, because by him the Lord had given deliverance unto Syria: he was also a mighty man in valour, but he was a leper.

I decree to someone straightaway before the sunrises tomorrow, every ‘BUT’ in your life will disappear. Whatever the ‘but’ maybe - sickness, failure, barrenness, poverty, whatever the word can seems in your life that can cause them to say where is your God, in the Name of the One who made heaven and earth, that is going tonight.

2 And the Syrians had gone out by companies, and had brought away captive out of the land of Israel a little maid; and she waited on Naaman's wife.

3 And she said unto her mistress, Would God my lord were with the prophet that is in Samaria! for he would recover him of his leprosy.

4 And one went in, and told his lord, saying, Thus and thus said the maid that is of the land of Israel.

You now the rest of the story.

Naaman was not born a leper; he’s never a child that was born a leper.

There was not even leprosy in his gens.

Science have now discovered that certain sickness, certain disease that it runs in the family.

You know, if you read the story further in 2Kings 5 verse 20 to 27, Elisha had a servant, the servant did something terrible and as a result the man of God placed a curse on him and said the leprosy of Naaman will cleave unto him and unto his seed forever.

That means, anybody born in the lineage of that servant will end up a leper.

You know, many of you think that our elders because they did not go to university, they are stupid; they are not.

You know in the olden days when a man comes to you and he says he wants to marry your daughter, he asked your name, and he tells you; he asked your family name, and he tells you,

He will say, okay, go, come back in seven days’ time and then we will talk.

Within the seven days you will go and do a thorough investigation of his family: Has there been a leper before in the family? Has there been a madman before in the family? Etcetera

Why?

Because if it has happened before in that line, sooner or later it is going to happen again.

So, you hear some funny preacher saying that there is nothing called generational curse that it in the imaginations of stupid pastors like Adeboye for example;

You know they are very intelligent; is just that I don’t know maybe they read the Bible I read.

Anybody born in the lineage Gehazi would one day or other become a leper.

I am decreeing to somebody today that in the mighty name of Jesus Christ that if there is any curse in your family, that is waiting to rare his head either in your life or in the life of your children, I decree in the Name that is above every other name that curse is destroyed.

So, Naaman was not born a leper.

If he was not born a leper, then the leprosy must have been an attack from outside; something happened along the way in his life, that the man who was not born a leper, who does not have leprosy in his gen suddenly became a leper.

You know, in Matthew chapter 13 from verse 24 to 26, the Lord told a story about a man who planted very good seed in his field and while men slept enemies came and sowed tares.

There are many of you who can testify to how your problem began when something happened to you in a dream, while you were sleeping you ate and when you woke up things began to happen.

Or you were in a dream and a dog bit you and when you woke up things started happening.

Or you were in a dream and some people came and flogged you and things began to happen after that; and some people think it is an imagination

If it has never happened to you thank God.

But if it had happened to you, my Father made a promise, every plant that God has not planted shall be rooted up.

I was in a city somewhere Abroad (I don’t want to mention the name of the city), and as it is my usual something I woke up very early in the city and I went for a walk –

When I get to a city I ask them, how safe is your city? How soon can I go out to walk, because I know I am not in Redemption city where I can walk at night.

So, I got up very early and went for a walk, and when I was returning there was this small girl who saw me: hey, Daddy G.O, you are here?

I said yes, God bless you.

She said thank you?

Where are you staying?

No, go your way, I have prayed for you, I said God bless you.

And she, you don’t understand; and she pursue me to the hotel where I was staying.

Finally, I got into the lift to go up, and I said now, please sister don’t get me into trouble:

Imagine somebody seeing me in a lift with a beautiful lady they won’t know whether I am going up with you or I am coming down; go now.

She said no, I cannot go.

Okay, tell me your problem so I can pray for you here.

She said, I cannot go, you don’t know what I am talking about; go into the life we will go together.

To cut the long story short, she followed me by force into my room; and I said, God help me today, and she pulled up her dress and what I saw, I almost screamed: scars all over the body.

She said, they come every night to beat me!

Scars as if someone has been tortured again and again and again;

I cried to God; I reminded the Almighty God that every plant He has not planted must be rooted up;

I prayed so loud that I couldn’t careless anybody who wants to come in to see, come and see what the enemy had done to somebody.

I cried to the Almighty God, this is Your daughter, my Father and my God something must be done today.

I thank God, before she left the room all the scars where gone.

I pray in the Name that is above other name, every scar of the enemy in your life will disappear tonight.

Everything in your life that you did not bring from heaven, everything that the enemy had introduce into your life shall disappear tonight in Jesus’ name.

We were talking about a brand-new beginning.

By the time God finished with Naaman, there were no scars left.

If you have ever seen lepers before, leprosy is a horrible thing: fingers gone, toes gone, noses disappear; but in the case of Naaman, God gave him brand-new skin.

I cry to God on your behalf tonight, every sickness, disease, every demon, everything you were not born with will disappear tonight.

And then, there is something interest about Naaman, they said he achieved a lot; he did not know it but God used him to achieve a lot.

It is written there that by him God gave deliverance to Syria, so he became great man, became a man of valor, a man of honour, and yet he did not know God.

There are many of us who have achieved a lot even before we knew Christ.

Succeeding when you are not born again can be for either of two reasons:

Achievement without salvation can be for two different purposes: one good, and the other not-so good because God knows the end from the beginning - Acts 15 verse 18.

So, when you are not yet born again and you are succeeding, known unto God are all His works from the beginning of the earth.

It could because God has seen ahead of time that you are going to end up serving Him.

Like in the case of Naaman, by the time he got healed and he came back to Elisha to say thank you, I have brought some gifts for thanksgiving,

Interestingly, many of us never come back to say thank you.

Thank God for all the testimonies we hear, you hear people say ‘I said I will come back and testify’

But there are thousands of us who have received bigger miracles than the testimonies we have heard, we won’t come out.

But Naaman came back, continue the story from verse 15 to 19, came back to Elisha, Sir, I am clean, look at me; Sir, I have brought some gifts.

And Elisha said, no, healing is not for sale, it is for free.

So, you are not going to anything?

No, nothing!

Okay, he said please do something for me, give me some mud, some piece of soil here, and I will go back home and will raise an altar for your God because now I know there is no other God than your own.

Because God knew that from the beginning.

He prospered this man; He made him to succeed because He knew that at the end of the day he will serve Me; He will bring the worship of Jehovah to his country where they serve nothing but idols.

God knew when He was prospering you before you knew Him that you will go to your village and build churches.

I mean, before I knew the Lord Jesus Christ, I was already a lecturer at the University of Lagos. I already had a car, I already had a house, everything was going well,

But the moment I got born again, the first thing I did was, I have to build a church in my town, the people must hear this gospel.

I remember I said, every member, anyone related to me must hear the gospel quickly, and so, I called all of them together and said I want to celebrate

What are you celebrating?

I bought a new car; I built a house; I got a P.hD, come, at least come and celebrate one of them.

First thing I did, I took the gospel to my own village, that is the first thing I did.

God knew me when I was succeeding even more than my lecturers, He knew where I was going.

He has a purpose for every miracle.

What have you done with everything that he has done for you when you didn’t know Him?

What have you done even since when you become born-again?

With all your achievements, with all your connections, with all your wealth, He might be waiting.

Or on the other side, He could cause you to succeed without knowing Him so that when you crash the world will know that there is somebody called the Almighty.

You know, the elders have a proverb: they said, when a ant falls, nobody pays attention; when a cockroach falls, it does not make a sound; but they said when an elephant falls you feel the tremor not only in the bush but in the hut - that is the case with Pharaoh

In Romans chapter 9 verse 17, God said Pharaoh you think I did not know what I was doing when I was raising you up, making you king of the whole world so that when I drown you the whole world will know there is somebody called the Almighty.

In the case of Naaman, God caused him to prosper, to succeed because He knew at the end of the day, he is coming to serve Me.

What is your own case going to be like?

Like that of Naaman or like that of Pharaoh?

I cannot decide for you; you are the one who will decide.

But then, there is another thing to learn from Naaman:

When your time comes, God will begin to move.

You know, those of you who had been here since the last night of December thirty-first during the holy communion and so on, you will probably must have sensed it looks as if something has changed in Daddy G.O, his preaching seems to be a little different.                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                      

Those of you who are here, I gave you a hint, 2026 for somebody, (remember I said for ‘somebody’ not for ‘everybody’), 2026 is going to be a year you have never seen before.

For several people, starting with me, and at least one other fellow, at long last, our time has come.

Which is while joking with Jesus must be over; which is while those who wants to be serious, they are free to be serious; those who don’t want to be serious is up to them.

There are many of you her today, may be the next time we will see you coming to the Holy Ghost service might be, well, special Holy Ghost service in March, or during the Convention, or during the next Congress,

You have come one day, is that not enough, and after all, we can watch this thing on Dove Media.

I know there is someone here, someone, someone, whatever is happening is not going to miss another Holy Ghost service

Because I know, and I am not saying this one to cajole you, I will never do that; whether you come or not I know God will crowd, He will bring those He wants to bless.

I know for sure that if the enemy comes to their house on Holy Ghost night, He is not going to meet them at home because they will be at the camp.

I know that for sure!

But the point is God has a timetable for everything he does.

Ecclesiastes chapter 3 from verse 1 to 8, but He has a set time, not just a time table now, a set time for certain things.

Psalm 102 verse 13 says thou will arise and have mercy on Zion, why? Because the time to favour her, yea, the set time has come.

Look at Naaman, he had gone campaign for his master, saw one little girl in battle and brought her home, and ask her to begin to serve the wife.

The girl had been there, the Bible did not tell us how long; the girl should feel happy that Naaman was a leper, let him suffer, took me away from my family.

But when your days comes, suddenly God begins to move, suddenly that girl had the boldness to say to her mistress: excuse me ma, there is a prophet in my town, he can heal leprosy!

What are you saying you this little girl? What do you know about leprosy?

There is a prophet in my town, if only my master can go to him.

And somebody heard while she was talking to the wife; take note, it is not the wife that went in and tell Naaman o; the wife heard the girl and said stop talking rubbish.

But Naaman did not ask her, somebody heard the girl talking and it is that somebody that went in and told Naaman.

In the Name that is above other name, the one that will bring in your help will no longer keep quiet.

And then, Naaman heard, and believed; he too could have behaved like his wife and dismiss it and Naaman went to his king: I heard that there is a prophet somewhere that could heal me, could you help your majesty?

And the majesty said, I will do anything for my General, let us write a letter to their king over there and said I am sending my general to you, heal him.

It is not the king, the girl did not say the king, she said there is a prophet.

And when the brought the letter to the king: the king said, o God, what kind problem is this now?

I am seating down peacefully; this king wanted a war and now he is asking me to be God: am I God that I can heal leprosy?

Just take note of this story is important because God is talking to somebody.

You see, God works in mysterious way His wonders to perform.

The message went to the wrong fellow, but somehow (the Bible did not tell us how), somehow the new got to Elisha that the king was angry with something, and Elisha said it is the wrong fellow they went to, send him to me.

I don’t know how God is going to do it but one way or other your miracle will arrive at your door.

You have heard me tell you the story of a great man from Ondo; I am mentioning name of town you know because it is a story that you can verify;

A great man, second in command to Kabiesi, one reason or the other just had a stroke, paralyzed from his waist downwards; rich man, they took him Abroad to the best hospital, he was there for months.

One day, one of the surgeons came to him and said chief I want to show you something and he took a very sharp pin, long pin and drove it through thigh of the chief, all the way through, and asked the chief: do you feel anything?

The chief said no.

And that professor of medicine said go home sir stop wasting your money there is anybody can do for you, these legs are dead; go home.

Baba came home, and one of the girls, one of the little girls in the house said, I know a man in a place called Redemption Camp if only Baba can get to him, Papa will be healed.

All these little girls get people into trouble.

I was in the Camp when they brought Baba; at least for strong men brought him from the car to my sitting room because he was a fairly big man.

And remember I told him, it is written if the Spirit that raised Jesus Christ from the dead dwells in you that Spirit will quicken your mortal body – that Spirit will make your body live again - and we discuss salvation

Papa gave his life to Jesus Christ and he walk back to his car.

That God is still here; He has not travelled and that God is saying to you the irreversible in your life will be reverse again.

Thank You Father.

I think I have to say amen to this one. It looks as if God has been silence as we go along maybe He knows that the Bible study of tonight is very important.

The Lord asks me to tell someone (and I have said amen to it) He said the count down to your celebrations begins now.

Now, I can go on and on because this study is very sweet, maybe one of this day I will write a book about it.

There is one thing I need to point out to you.

When finally, Naaman came and stood in front of the man of God, the man of God did not even allow him to come in, he sent his servant to him, go and tell the general,

The servant of God says, go and take your birth seven times in Jordan and you will be clean.

The general said what?

That is what my master asked me to tell you.

Is he coming out to see me?

No!

Is he coming out to pray?

No!

You mean that all he is going to say?

He has already done all he’s going to do.

The general said, haa, look at me, General Naaman, treated so lightly by this fellow, whoever he is, called man of God;

Are there no better rivers in my country that he asked me to go and wash in this their dirty river Jordan?

Is alright, it is not his fault; I will go home and he will hear from me.

The Bible said, he was in a rage.

When God decides that your day has come jonah must go.

The Jonah in the boat of Naaman was pride: me! General Naaman!

He forgot he was general leper.

Me! Treated like this!

You know pride as robbed many of us of our miracles.

And I can relate to Naaman, I appreciate him.

Because when I came to the Redeemed Christian Church of God; if I go to church at all, I go to Cathedral, I will go the Chapel in the University, beautiful thing.

And then I came to Ebute Metta, the Church was built with Budoff - you know Budoff? - rejected wood, the kind of wood that sawyers feel rejected; that was what they gather together to build the headquarters.

Then somebody told me God answers prayer there and they dragged me,

And I thought they will tell me how much I have to pray so they can pray and my problem will be solved; they did not ask me for money.

They asked me to confess my sin; give your life to Jesus!

I looked at them; I was the most educated among them.

What is wrong with this people?

What do they mean by sin?

I mean, you know, some habits, etcetera, etcetera, but you know, what do they know?

Come and give your life to Jesus

I said you are not talking to me.

For weeks, I did not give my life to Jesus; I was too proud – tell me how much I will pay; I pay you, you pray and solve my problems; forget all this rubbish about surrendering your life to Jesus,

Until one day, (I pray that your day will come) until one day God broke through for me.

And it just occurs to me, wait a minute, what is wrong with you? You are the one with a problem, not they; they are not asking you to surrender to them, they are asking to surrender to the One who made you; what is wrong with you?

That was when I humbly went to the altar and gave my life to Jesus and things have never been the same again.

May your day come today.

But then, in this beautiful story of Naaman, because God was determined to give him a brand-new beginning, one of the servants…

You know, in the Army if you want to talk to a superior officer, you have to ask for permission to speak sir

The superior officer can say permission not granted, I don’t want to hear what you want to say.

But this servant went to the general, the general who was angry, and said Sir, Sir, I am not sure you are being angry correctly because if this people have asked you to do something big, something mighty, you would have done it and all they are saying is wash and be clean!

That day Naaman threw away his pride, got rid of his anger,

Every Jonah that is still standing your way will go tonight.

Whatever it is, what it is O Lord, what it is that is not allowing the joy of Your children to be full, whatever it is my Father and my God please get rid of it tonight.

He threw away pride.

You know, pride is the mother of ingratitude.

Some of us don’t know how dangerous pride can be.

Oh, this is the seasons of thanksgiving at least in the Redeemed Christian Church of God, some of us will say, what has God done for me?

He kept you throughout last year.

Ehen, so what!

Pride does not allow you to be grateful.

And if you don’t believe me, ask Samson in Judges 15 verse 11 to 20, they brought him bound to the enemies, the Spirit of God came down on him, he saw the jaw bone of an ass, and kill one thousand of his enemies.

What did he say?

Great Samson; heap upon heap, with a jaw bone of an ass I have slain a thousand men; he did not say thank You Lord.

Not a single word of thank You God.

Mother of ingratitude is pride.

The reason while many of us never prayed is pride, we think we can solve the problem ourself.

Mother of destruction is pride because you go to Judges chapter 16 when Delilah was asking directly: Samson, what is the source of your strength? How can you become an ordinary man? How can we bind you so that we can torture you?

That was a direction question from somebody who without doubt must be an enemy.

Who is the little girl trying to find out the secret of my power? Don’t worry yourself, I can deal with you.

Pride!

The problem with pride is that those who are proud they don’t even realize that they are proud.

Anyway, Proverbs 16 verse 18 tells us that pride goes before destruction.

If pride is the Jonah in your boat, it will go today in Jesus’ name.

Naaman threw away a Jonah in his boat.

And then, thank God for Naaman, he obeyed God completely.

God said deep yourself seven times and he dipped himself seven times; by the time he was coming out of the water the six time, he was still a leper,

It was only at the seven times when his obedience was complete that God moved.

Total obedience is what God is asking for in twenty twenty-six; total obedience.

Revelation chapter 3 from 15 to 16, the Almighty God says I don’t like anybody being lukewarm; if want to be hot, be hot; if you want to be cold, be cold; let Me know where you stand.

If you are cold, I will know I have a work to do to about your salvation; if you are hot, I know we are together, Me Myself is a consuming fire, but this idea of one leg in, one leg out, I cannot take it.

You know, is a miracle that God has tolerated us thus far, because many many of us have become very lukewarm.

Many of us don’t even come to the Holy Ghost service anymore, no problem; and those of us who come we have to beg you to even shout hallelujah.

There was time when they are sharing testimonies, many many little testimonies we get excited, we praise God for anything that somebody may say: I was sick and God healed me, etcetera.

Now, when somebody even said I have been healed of cancer twice, we say, so what?

Oh I have a pain in my leg and the leg began to swell and I could not even stand; and then the word came that God was dealing with bones and I bend down and touch the pain was, and the swollen leg…

He does not matter to us, we say so what?

We have become so use to miracles, we now take God for granted; seat down let us hear a better testimony.

Every miracle is a special action of God,

Everyone, if all the miracles that God would perform on just one Holy Ghost night were to happen in some ministries of other pastors of the world, they will write a book about it.

But, here, well, get to something bigger.

Pride! We are beginning to take God for granted; God should be glad that I am even watching on television.

Travel all this way to Redemption Camp; God thank for providing me with the television.

How many of you have even ever say thank You for Dove Media? Have you ever said so?

And the Lord asked me, thank You Daddy; my Father thank You.

I want to say amen to this one. Thank You Daddy.

Daddy asked me to tell someone, whoever that fellow may be joining to expect one breakthrough that will enable you to serve Me wholeheartedly.

Total obedience is required like never before.

Gratitude is required like never before.

You know the story, Luke 17 from 12 to 19, ten lepers were healed, one came back to say thank you; and the one who came back to say thank you, moved from healing to wholeness; got brand-new healing.

Well, I am trying to jump some of the things because of time. Let me just touch one more important point about Naaman.

If there is anything I jumped over, the Holy Spirit will teach you.

It is the issue of destiny;

You know, I told you at the beginning if God prosper a man when he does not know God is probably there is something waiting ahead,

In the case of Naaman, what was waiting is that he will be the one who will bring the service of God to his country.

But there is this thing called connected destinies - as the destiny of so many people linked together

In the story of Naaman, the destiny of the girl that was captured and became a slave…

Oh God, thank You.

Father, I may be seating down but I am standing; thank You.

I want to say amen to this and I want…

Because God says there is someone here tonight, He says if you weep in 2026 it will be for joy.

I know this must be me but I will tell you all the same so that just in case.

The Lord says there is someone here tonight, I will increase your anointing so rapidly.

Thank You Father. Thank You Lord.

Amen and amen.

The Lord says there is someone tonight that you will shout free at last.

The destiny of the girl, the slave girl was linked with the destiny of Naaman.

The destiny of that servant who persuaded Naaman to listen to the prophet was linked to the destiny of Naaman.

The destiny of the prophet who told him ‘Go and take your bath’ was linked to the destiny of Naaman; and on and on.

I am saying that one with all humility, all of you who are my children, those genuinely are my children, who called me Daddy, and mean it when they say daddy, our destinies are linked,

I can boldly declare as God help me, He will help you.

But I want to point out a point here…, don’t worry I am about to close now; …and I am speaking to those of you who are big men, big men, be careful how you treat your servant.

If anybody ever came to your house to serve as a house boy or house girl, their destinies are linked to yours;

Teach them well, teach them well because if they are the only people in the world, Jesus would have died for them.

That is very important.

Be careful how you speak to them; be careful how you treat them because you don’t know where they are going to step up when God decide to move.

You don’t know how God is going to use them.

I say this one with gratitude to the most high God and with all humility, there are several people who came into my live, who came to my house as a house boy or house girl who today are graduates because there is no one who cannot prosper if they get help.

There is nobody, nobody, who was created to be a servant, situations may occur that may cause you to be Oga while they are your servant; teach them well.

Somebody said I heard you talking to your driver and you said ‘yes sir’, who is Oga?

Is it you or he?

I said there is only one Oga and that is Jesus Christ.  That is Jesus Christ!

Please take note of that those of you who are great people; change your attitude towards your servants; they might be the link to your ultimate victory.

Do I hear your amen to that!

And finally, take care how you handle the prophet that God had sent to you.

Because the final victory of Naaman was presented to him through Elisha.

Now, be careful when I said prophet, I am not talking about all this kind of funny funny prophets everywhere, they are many.

I was laughing when I read that a prophet prophesied that if we are to win a football match a particular must not be included in the team, and then they did not listen to him, they included that fellow and that fellow score the winning goal, and I said, glory be to God.

Are you the prophet sent to us sir?

Me! I am not a prophet, I am a pastor; it is just that once in a while I hear from God, and I have heard for you tonight; and I believe many of you will never forget tonight.

It was a driver that drove his boss who is a lady to a Ebute-metta because he witnessed to her: Ma, I can see that you have this problem, I know where your problem can be solved;

Brought her, she got born-again, her problem was solved.

So, she told her elder sister, who also had problems, the elder sister came, got born-again, and her problems were solved.

The elder sister who happens to be a wealthy woman said, this church must be in our town, took me to their town, and we held a crusade, and the church started in a town called Port Harcourt.

Today, from that little church the whole of Port Harcourt, the whole of the east, the whole of Bayelsa and some Nations Abroad filled with Redeemed Christian of God, they started through a driver.

And you the servant, don’t close your mouth, God has a purpose, He sent you there to be a witness, He sent you there to that house to be a link, between somebody else outside who needed a miracle.

Thank You Father.

This is the biggest one I heard from God tonight.

Thank You my Father.

Oh thank You my Father.

The Lord says there is someone here tonight, He said I will send you help in twos.

Is there anybody here tonight who knows that he is not yet truly a child of God?

You know it; is just that as we started talking about Naaman tonight something seems to be telling you, you are the one God is talking to; he looks as the set time for God to be merciful to you has come.

And for you to begin to experience God’s miracles, you have to start with salvation, you must wash in the Blood of the Lamb, so that that Blood will wash away your sins and then everything will become new.

So, if you are here and you want to give your life to Jesus Christ, I am going to count from one to ten,

And I know we are very many here tonight and some of you will be coming from a long distance but you have to hurry up, I am going to count from one to ten so we can pray for your salvation.

I am counting now:

One,

Don’t let your pride hold you back, come and surrender your life to Jesus Christ.

Two, three, four, five, six, seven, eight, nine,

Now, those of you on the way, keep coming; those of you who are already in front lift your voice to the Almighty God; and those of you who are coming on the way pray along too,

Cry to the Almighty God and say Father, at long last I am here at Your feet, please save my souls, forgive all my sins, let this day be my day of salvation, let this day be the day of my new beginning, I am ready to surrender to You Lord, please save my soul, make me one of Your children and I will serve You for the rest of my life.

Go ahead, pray.

Those of you on the way, pray the same prayer.

And the rest of us let us stretch our hands towards these people and intercede for them that God who saved our souls will save their own souls also. Pray for them just for two minutes; and if you are on the way, hurry up, hurry up.

Thank You God. Glory be to God.

Hurry up those of you who are on the way, I have to pray for salvation now and then we will continue. Hurry up.

Thank You Lord.

In Jesus mighty name we have prayed.

My Father and my God I want to thank You  very much for Your word; I want to thank You for all those who have surrendered their lives to you today, Father, please accept them in Jesus’ name; have mercy on them, save their souls, let Your blood wash their away their sins; Lord God Almighty let them become true children of God, write their names in the book of life, and let them serve You for the rest of their lives. From now on anytime they call on You please answer them by fire.

In Jesus mighty name we have prayed.

Amen.

Praise the Lord.

Now, those of you who gave your lives to Jesus I rejoice with you because from now on by the grace of God I will be praying for you.

So, I am going to need your names, your address, and your prayer request.

There are some Counselors by your side they will collect the information that I need and then pass it on to me and I promise I will be praying for you.

God bless you.

We will wait for you for few minutes before we proceed further.

Congratulations! God bless you.

You may want to write down your prayer points.

Number one: You want to thank God that He has kept you till now because when there is life there is hope.

Number two: You will ask Him to forgive you from your previous lukewarmness that you won’t take Him for granted anymore, you will be serious, really really serious from now on; that you won’t allow the comfort that He has given you to drag you away from Him.

Number three: You will say Father, now that my set time has come, (you have to say that with faith), now that my set time has come, arise and help me.

Number four: Father, from this very moment let all those who are connected with my destiny begin to fulfil their purpose. All those, big and small, who are connected with my destiny let them being to fulfil their purpose.

Number five: if there is still any form of Jonah left in my life - laziness, pride, lukewarmness, incomplete obedience – any Jonah still left in my life blocking my way to complete victory, please, help me, uproot them.

Number six: say Father, give me a brand-new beginning; brand-new beginning to serve You now with all seriousness.

Number seven: Father, like in the case of Naaman, let me become a testimony to the whole world.

And then number eight – anything you want to add.

You are going to have about fifteen minutes of intense prayer. Your prayer this year must not be casual, must not be prayer as usually; really really cry to God, He is listening, cry to Him.

Thank You Lord.

Hallelujah Jesus.

In Jesus mighty name we have prayed.

My Father and my God, on behalf of all of us, I say thank You. Thank You that we will did not go with last year. Thank You for giving us an opportunity for a brand-new beginning, accept our thanks in Jesus’ name.

I am committing all of us into Your hands, I cry to You one more time, Father, send help to us. Now that our set time has come, Almighty God, please send help to us. In every facet of our lives, send help to us. In dealing with our lukewarmness, in dealing with pride, in dealing with any form of Jonah that may still be blocking our ways to total victory, Lord of Host sent help to us.

In Jesus mighty name we have prayed.

Amen.

Praise the Lord.

God bless You.
