PART 1
BIBLE TEXT: ROMANS 8:31
What shall we then say to these things? If For be for us, who can be against us?
When God is on your side, without any doubt you are More than Conqueror because all the enemies need to see is God rising up to support you. In Psalm 68: 1-3; the bible says let God arise and let all His enemies be scattered.
So if God is behind you, all the enemies will run. The elders has a saying that: Dada cannot fight but has a courageous brother. Even if I cannot fight and my enemies see God behind me, they will run. My God will do something wonderful for someone here tonight. Adeboye is nothing but His God is everything.
Acts 9: 1-5; gives us an example of story that shows that your enemies are also the enemies of God if He is on your side. Saul of Tarsus was persecuting Christians until God knocked him down. He then asked God who are you? Then Jesus answered that: I am Jesus Christ who thou persecute. In James 4:7; the bible says only if you can submit to God even when the devil see you coming, he will run away as you are a terror to him.
According to Acts 19: 13-17; if you belong to God, the devil will recognised you. In that text, the bible recorded about some people trying to cast out devil from someone. The devil said: Jesus I know, Paul I know, who then are you? If you belong to God, the devil will know who you are if you are truly born again. Because the demons recognised us, they know the authority and Power of the One you have. In Acts 16:17, the bible says: The same followed Paul and us and cried saying; these men are the servants of the Most High God which shew unto us the way to salvation.
According to Isaiah 54: 16-17; the Word of God says: No weapon that is formed against you shall prosper and every tongue that shall rise against thee in judgement thou shalt condemn.
The Lord is simply saying that He is the Maker of the instruments they put together to form their weapons. If the herbalist join the leaves together God will simply asked them not to function because He created them.
In Numbers 23: 19-24; even if the enemies wants to cursed you and you belong to God. When they open their mouth they will be blessing you. Instead of saying that you will die, they will say you will never die. Instead if saying you will be poor, they will say you will be the richest in town.
But if God is your enemy, where then do you run to? No where to run from Him. The moment the enemies know you are not on the side of God then you have become an easy meat for them. All God needs to do for your enemies to finished you is for God to decide to do nothing about you - that is be neutral. The only prayer the lion prays in the morning is that Lord just show me an animal and leave us alone. If the devil ever prays at all, he will simply say show me a person and leave us alone. If God leaves you alone then you are finished.
Even at the moments that you are not on His side, He still kept watch over you and waiting for a day like this that you will returned back to Him. However, He may not wait forever as His patience may runs out. So He said in His Words that the wages of sin is death. Deuteronomy 30:19 says I call Heaven and Earth as a witness before you: I have set before you life and death but I advised that you choose life so that you and your seed may live.
The Almighty God is saying to you tonight that if you are yet to choose Jesus Christ as your Lord and Saviour up till now then you are living a life of sin. He is asking you to choose now as tomorrow may be too late.
So if you are here now (or reading this now) and you are yet to give your life to Jesus Christ; then the time is now to surrender your life to your Lord and Saviour. Run to the altar now as I count from 1 to 12 before I pray for the salvation of those who has come.
ALTAR CALL!!!
PART 2
BIBLE TEXT: LUKE 11: 21-23
21. When a strong man armed keepeth his place, his goods are in place.
22. But when a stronger than he shall come upon him and overcome him, he taketh from him all his armour wherein he trusted and divided his spoils.
23. He that is not with me is against me: and he that gathereth not with me scattereth.
The Lord is speaking here and He is saying that there are two categories of people:
1. A strong man that is well armed keeping his goods in a place and everything saved.
2. A stronger man comes around; knocked or boxed him down and takes over everything he has from the strong man.
In the Name above every Names; you will be Stronger than your enemies.
It is good to be strong according to Joel 3:16 - let the weak says I am strong. So is there any weak fellow here now... let me hear you shout: I am strong.
Physically, the plan of God is for everyone of us to be strong. In Psalm 105:37; the bible says when the children of Israel left Egypt there was none that was feeble among them...not one. God does not want a single sickness to stay among us. In Exodus 15:26; the bible says if you obey God, He won't let you to be sick. He further says that if any among you is sick that you don't need to sit down tolerating it but rather call on the elders to annoint and pray for such as the prayers of such will heal the sick.
Daddy is praying for everyone of us here tonight that throughout this Year, you will live in Good Health.
Materially, Heaven wants you to be strong. In Genesis 33: 1-9; its the account of Esau and Jacob. It got to a day that their father wanted to blessed them. Somehow, Jacob came before Esau and got all the blessings. By the time Esau came, their father had poured the blessings on Jacob but he demanded if nothing is left for him. The father gave him the crumbs of the blessings and it was recorded that Esau told Jacob that he has enough. The least any member of the Households of God should have should be ENOUGH.
Daddy decreed that from now on, you will have enough in Jesus Name!
Spiritually, God wants every members of the Church to be Strong. Before this Year runs out, every member of RCCG will be Spiritually Strong.
In 2 Kings 1: 9-12; Elijah had only one portion of anointing and he was able to call fire from Heaven at will.
So God wants every believer to be Strong Physically, Materially and Spiritually.
PRAYER: Father, beginning from now; let every form of weakness end in my life - Physically, Materially and Spiritually with the bearest minimum of anointing. Am a child of God and I belong to the family of the Most High God.
Daddy got a letter from a young fellow yesterday saying: daddy pray for me as I don't want to be an ordinary Christian. I simply told him that God has answered his prayers.
Is there anyone here who wants to be Spiritually endowed, let me hear you shout Halleluyah!!!
It is good to be strong Physically Healthy but it is better to be the one Healing the sick because in Marks 16:18; the bible says these signs shall follow them that believed - they shall lay hands on the sick and they shall recover.
So I want to encouraged you as the passage didn't say it will follow only the General Overseer.
Are you a Believer? Wave your hands...from now: Lay your hands on the sick and they shall recover.
Acts 3: 1-8; is the story of Peter who saw a lame man by the gate called Beautiful. The lame man demanded for money and he told him he doesn't have money but has something more precious than money...in Jesus Name: Rise up and walk.
Some will say that I have never laid hand on the sick before. What if I did and nothing happened? Why are you scared? Why not just try. If you lay hands on one and did not recover, don't be discouraged lay hands on 2, then 3 and 4. Just keep on obeying the instructions. The Miracles will begin because it is written.
... And do you know what? You will begin to do it tonight.
Some will say Daddy what do you mean? Am aware about many special cases here tonight. As am laying hands on them, you will join your faith with mine. In Jesus Name as I lay hands on them the sick will arise and you will be happy you are part of the healing process.
To be Strong is good but to be Stronger is better. It is good that you have enough but it is better that you make the poor to be rich. In 2 Kings 4: 1-7; the widow was destitute that she wanted to sell her children. Then she came across a Prophet who asked her what she has at home...then asked her to go and do the pouring and she had enough.
Daddy decreed that before the Month of March, all your debts will be gone and you will become a Blessing to others.
Please stretched out your hands: Daddy decreed that these hands will never lack again. In the Name above all Names, you hands will never be empty.
... It is good to have enough but better to be a blessing to others to prove that you are Stronger than them.
Spiritually, God expects you not only to be free from demons but also to cast out demons. In Acts 16: 16-18; a girl with the spirit of divinity followed Paul. Paul being grieved turned and commanded the demon to come out of her.
When you belong to God, you don't need to spend one hour casting out demons. All you need do is just to command and they will obey.
How do I know that? Just try it. Or have you tried it and it doesn't work?
Daddy command tonight that every demons in everyone of you to go out now in Jesus Name.
PRAYER: Father, make me Stronger than evil forces, demons, witches, wizards, herbalist and devil himself. Let me be a terror to the devil as I don't want to be an ordinary Christian. Whenever the devil or witches see me coming, let them run away.
Now you will want to ask me if what am saying is true when next the witch you have been running from see you, they will be the ones to run from you.
PROPHESY:
1. The Lord asked daddy to tell a woman that the baby in you is doing well.
2. The Lord asked daddy to tell someone that the chain holding your business down is broken.
3. The Lord (Daddy) says I will lift up your head again.
For you to be Stronger than your enemies then the following must happened:
1. You must be Supported by the Strongest (Almighty God).
Romans 8:31 says: What shall we then say to these things? If God be for us, who can be against us?
In Psalm 24: 7-10; God clearly shows that if God is on your side, the enemies will know that they are messing with the Commander-In-Chief of the Hosts Himself.
If you are on the side of God, He can even made the demons to be your servants.
How many of you wants to be Stronger than your enemies... Let me hear you shout Halleluyah!!!
When you are supported by the Strongest then you can deliver anyone who is in trouble because according to Phillipians 2: 9-11 at the mention of the Name Jesus Christ, every knee must bow. Everything you want to do will be done through His Name.
Zechariah 4:6 says: Not by might, nor by power but by my spirit saith the LORD of hosts.
PRAYER: Father, am counting on your support; help me to rescue the captives in my family, homes and villages. I don't want to be an ordinary Christian that is just shouting Halleluyah.
PROPHESY: The Lord says that for someone here tonight, you will hear no more bad news for a long time.
2. You must be Connected to the One who is never tired.
Why must I be connected? In 1 Samuel 17: 1-51; David was a giant killer: he rescued a lamb from a lion; he rescued again another lamb from a bear and then he rescued a whole Nation from a terrorist called Goliath. But in 2 Samuel 21: 15-17; the bible says that the giant killer went to war and grew faint and if not for someone he would have died.
PROPHESY: The Lord says that there is someone here; He simply said: Relax your Victory is not negotiable.
In Exodus 17: 8-13; there was a war between Israel and the Amalekites. Moses was on mountain top and as long as his hand stretched up the Israelites were winning. But as human being, he was weary, hand comes down and the enemies were winning.
You need to be connected to the one who is never tired. Isaiah 40: 28-31 says even the young men will go weary after some time but there is a God who never go weary. So the one that waited on Him will never be weary. Because when you begin to do the work that God will begin to use you for (from now you are not ordinary). People will be bombarding you from left, right and center. They will asked you to rest but will say solve my own first (funny people). But when you are connected to the one who is never tired then you yourself won't know what is called tiredness.
PRAYER: Father, don't let me be disconnected from you. I want to be perpetually connected to you. No more weakness or tiredness as I go about rescuing the perishing because am going forward in your Name to heal the sick, rescued the perishing, cast out demons. If you wait on Him, He will renew your strength constantly.
PROPHESY: Daddy GO says he can hear someone singing. This means something special is about happening. The fellow is singing:
Oyi biribiri kan mi o (3ce)
Aanu Oluwa yi kan mi o.
3. You must be Inhabited by the Greatest.
1 John 4:4 says little children you have overcome them. Why? Because Greater is He that is in you than he than is in the world.
If you are inhabited by the Almighty God...He is Greater than the greatest and according to Ephesians 3:20; you will do exceeding abundantly above all that we ask or think according to the power that worketh in us.
When God is inhabiting in you then the Power to do the impossible is available. When you command demons, they won't hear your voice but the voice of the one in you (Almighty God). Because like I told those at the Cross Over Night Service, the devil cannot tell from your voice if you have the authority or not. 1 Peter 4:11 says if any man speak, let him speak as the oracles of God. What is in you will be the one dictating what you will be saying.
... So note this secret of your enemies that is out tonight.
Who is the One dwelling in you? If it is the Almighty God, then when you speak the enemies will hear His Voice.
PRAYER: Father, dwell in me richly. Make my heart your throne and headquarters. No more immoral thoughts. Flushed out whatever is not of you from my entire body systems.
As we proceed on this rescue mission in the Mighty Name of Jesus Christ, you won't be the one people will be praying for. You won't be a candidate for deliverance but the one setting the captives free. You won't be the one people putting on hands me down but a source of blessings to others.
PROPHESY:
1. The Lord asked daddy to tell somebody: Forget the past as it is a New Day.
2. The Lord (Daddy) asked Daddy GO to encouraged everybody that keep knocking, all the doors will be opened.
Now as we proceed on the rescue mission because that is what we will be doing now. There is a Procedure:
1. Start with "Aggressive Praises". In 2 Chronicles 20: 1-25; it was Praises alone that gave Victory to Jehoshaphat. Not only did the enemies killed themselves but wealth changed hands.
When you are aggressive, God draws near to you. In John 4: 23-24; it says that God is a spirit and they that worship Him must worship Him in spirit and in truth for the Father seeketh such to worship Him.
That is why Daddy GO don't normally bond the devil anytime he wants to preached but just Praise God. Your Halleluyah from now must changed. The devil knows that those who knows that are Victorious. The devil knows that the winning side is a shouting side.
... How many Victors are here: Let me hear you shout Halleluyah!!!
Don't let me remind you again that tour Halleluyah must be that of Victors.
2. This must be followed by Aggressive Praying. In Matthew 15: 21-28; the mother of that daughter that is being tormented by the devil prayed aggressively until the devil was casted out. Many a times when some of us pray, I just shake my head. God will answered someone tonight.
3. You must give God Aggressive Giving.
If you just want to have enough then no need to give aggressively. But people like me want to be a blessing to the world and so wants more than enough. The elders has a saying that it is only when the eyes is full of waters that it drops on the nose.
If you really want to overcome the devil (devil don't like this); it is finding a way to ensure that there is no none to do the work but that strategy is just too late. The Church of God is matching on and the gates of hell won't prevail over it. Do you know what? God will bless you so much but for you to make the poor rich. Learn to be a blessing to others. If you know how much we spent on Mission then you will know that there is need to have more than enough
PRAYER: Father, everything that I needed to serve you provide for me abundantly. Am ready to be your Treasurer and give you aggressively.
Do you know what, before the Month of June, one of you will tell me that I will pay for the Congress. One of you will say that I will pay for the Convention. Before the end of this Month, someone will say I will contribute towards this Arena.
... Daddy is trying to be gentle but the spirit. By the time that someone is coming for the Special Holy Ghost Service in March, you will bring people with a brand new bus.
4. Above all is your Faith. Your Faith must be aggressive.
In Marks 11: 22-24; the bible says if only you have Faith in God, you will say you mountain be thou removed and cast to the sea and it will be so. If you have Faith, whatever you say will be backed up.
Many of you will say: I have no Faith. Who tell you that? You have Faith but its just that you don't know. Your Faith may be on someone or something else. When you came in, you didn't check the chairs but sat on it because you have faith in the maker that manufactured it did a good job. Many had travelled abroad. They have faith in the pilot - enter the plane, sit down, fastened belt and the plane took off. When on air, you don't even know the direction the pilot is turning you to but just sat down and they served you food, you eat it...but still trust that all is well.
How much more about the Pilot of the Universe? The one that can rise on the storm,say peace be still and there will be peace!
... And do you know what? The reason why you are here today is because you have Faith in God and you are now expected to put that Faith in action - Faith in Motion.
PRAYER: Father, I trust in you; don't let me be ashamed. From now on, my Faith in you is Solid. Your Words and Promise is my Anchor.
PROPHESY: The Lord says that daddy should tell someone and that fellow will understand: It is Done!.
In conclusion in Isaiah 60:1; the bible says: Arise shine for thy light is come and the glory of the LORD is risen upon thee.
All you need to do now is to Arise and Shine.
PRAYER: Lift up your hands to God and say: I with arise and I will shine.
GENERAL PRAYERS:
1. Praise God - Do it aggressively in a way that you have not done it before.
2. Father, from now on, let enemies see me and run.
3. Father, please annoint me specially to heal the sick and cast out demons.
4. Father, make me a Blessing to my Generations.
5. Father, keep me pure and holy so that you can dwell in me.
6. Father, from now on let me shine for you in the darkness of this world.
7. Put your Special Personal Request to the Almighty God.
Thank you so much for reading.
PRELUDE TO FEBRUARY 2018 HOLY GHOST SERVICE WITH THE THEME: STRONGER THAN YOUR ENEMIES - PART 2:
In the Part 2 that will be coming up on the 2nd of February 2018 by the Special Grace of God. We will learn that the mere fact that there are Mountains in your life is because we refused to face and confront them.
There are problems in our lives as long as we dodge, ignore or tolerate them. The day you begin to confront your Mountains is the day they will begin to move. For forty (40) days, Goliath terrorised the children of Israel and they run from him. Then one day, a young man came to face it and before you know it, Goliath lost his head.
So by the Special Grace of God, we will teach us on how to face your Mountains and you will be more than conqueror.
... It promises to be great and quite revealing. So mark 2nd of February 2018 as a date on your diary that you cannot afford to miss. May God keep us all till then and beyond in Jesus Mighty Name!
.... Finally Daddy GO prayed thus for us: May the Almighty God be with you all. Go in peace and let me hear someone shout Halleluyah... HALLELUYAH!!!!!!!
