Our text tonight for title Silencing Mockers: 1Samuel chapter 2 verse 1 to 10:
1And Hannah prayed, and said, My heart rejoiceth in the Lord, mine horn is exalted in the Lord: my mouth is enlarged over mine enemies; because I rejoice in thy salvation.
2 There is none holy as the Lord: for there is none beside thee: neither is there any rock like our God.
3 Talk no more so exceeding proudly; let not arrogancy come out of your mouth: for the Lord is a God of knowledge, and by him actions are weighed.
4 The bows of the mighty men are broken, and they that stumbled are girded with strength.
5 They that were full have hired out themselves for bread; and they that were hungry ceased: so that the barren hath born seven; and she that hath many children is waxed feeble.
6 The Lord killeth, and maketh alive: he bringeth down to the grave, and bringeth up.
7 The Lord maketh poor, and maketh rich: he bringeth low, and lifteth up.
8 He raiseth up the poor out of the dust, and lifteth up the beggar from the dunghill, to set them among princes, and to make them inherit the throne of glory: for the pillars of the earth are the Lord’s, and he hath set the world upon them.
9 He will keep the feet of his saints, and the wicked shall be silent in darkness; for by strength shall no man prevail.
10 The adversaries of the Lord shall be broken to pieces; out of heaven shall he thunder upon them: the Lord shall judge the ends of the earth; and he shall give strength unto his king, and exalt the horn of his anointed.
This is going to be a night you will never forget.
But before we proceed to the miracle section of tonight, as usual, I want to talk to those who might be here who are not yet born again, who are not yet children of God.
You see Mockers always end badly.
Those who love to mock God or mock the things of God they always end badly.
In Luke chapter 17 verse 26 to 27, the Lord Jesus Christ said as it was in the days of Noah – people were eating, they were drinking, they were getting married, they were given in marriage – until the flood came and destroyed them all.
When Noah was preparing the Ark that would have brought salvation to the people, they laughed at him.
What is wrong with this old man building a huge boat saying a flood is coming?
What flood?
Because as at that time they had never been rain; where will the flood come from?
They mocked him; they laughed at him.
I am sure you know some people are still mocking today, still laughing when they hear a word of prophesy they thought it is a joke.
I told you at the beginning of the year that the Lord said, get ready for floods
How many of you stll remember?
And now you are hearing of floods in places where if they get two/three rains in a year they use to rejoice; now flood.
Let me give you a hint: it is not over yet.
They mocked Noah: old man if you have nothing else to do, do not bother us; keep on building your toys.
Then, the day of decision came;
Noah, his family, animals, birds, entered into the ark and the Bible said God shut the door.
And then, the rain began to fall.
By the time they came knocking at the door – Noah, open unto us
I am sorry the key has been taken away.
And then in the same Luke chapter 17 verse 28 to 30, the Lord said, as in the day of Lot; again they were eating, they were drinking, they were selling, they were planting, they were building
And when Lot went to tell his in-laws, heard that destruction is coming;
Some visitor they have told me that destruction is at the door.
Come, let us run for our life
They laughed at him.
And the following day, they were not laughing anymore when the fire began to fall.
In Exodus chapter 12 verse 21 to 29, Moses said to the people – trouble is coming, the angel of death is around the corner; everyone of you kill a lamb, mark your door post with the blood of the lamb
Because when the angel comes back, wherever he sees the blood, he will pass the place over.
Do you know that there are people who said blood! Blood of an animal over my post!
When the night came and the angel of death was passing by, every house, it does not matter who was there – whether Jew or not – where he did not see the blood, he went in and killed.
In Numbers 21 from verse 5 to 9, the children of Israel murmured against God;
Said to Moses what kind of life is this?
All we get for food is manna; everyday manna – manna in the morning, manna in the afternoon, manna in the evening.
God said alright, you so ungrateful; let us give you a little taste of judgment.
And then this serpent came when the heat is like fire
Suddenly the people cried, O we are sorry, we have sinned
And God spoke to Moses, alright, make a serpent like that particular serpent and raise it up
Tell the children of Israel, anyone bitten by this serpent; all they need to do is look up at that serpent you have lifted up and they will be made whole.
Do you know some people still mocked!
We are talking of snake bite; you are talking of looking up to one dry serpent up there.
As many as did not look up died.
Jesus refer to this situation in John chapter 3 verse 14 to 18: as Moses lifted up the serpent in the wilderness so must the Son of man be lifted up.
Look up to Him and you will be saved.
Don’t mock the call to salvation.
Don’t say what are we talking about – born-again, born-again; we have seen so many of them born-again around us;
Nobody is asking you to look at any man
Look unto Jesus, the Author and Finisher of our faith.
Don’t joke with sin; sin is a killer
The wages of sin is death.
The Lord is calling on those of you who until now is toying with the issue of salvation.
Mockers always end badly.
You need to run away from sin and come to the Savior.
Don’t believe those who tell you that all will be well if you continue in sin – no such thing.
You cannot continue in sin and expect grace to abound, God forbid – that is what the word of God says.
You cannot claim to be a born-again child of God and continue to live a life of sin, it is not done.
The Bible says when you are in Christ, you are a new creature; old things are passed away, behold, all things have become new.
Do not tell me that you are born-again and you still continue to lie; you still continue to cheat; you still continue to fornicate;
There is no born-again fornicator; no born-again adulterer; if you are born-again you are new.
What you used to do, you can do them no more.
If you are born of God, you do not commit sin because the seed of God will be in you; the seed of the Holy One of Israel will be in you.
When I got born-again, everything changed; I could not even tell a white lie.
I could not do anything contrary to the will of God because there was someone living in me that tells me you cannot do it.
I told you by the time I got born-again I was a Lecturer at the University of Lagos and there were official envelops and I wrote a personal letter;
And because of my position in the department, I had envelops available to me.
I wanted to take one of the envelopes to post my letter and the spirit of God says no, these envelops are for official letters not private ones and my hand froze.
That is the salvation we are talking about.
And I said to my Daddy, how much is an envelope?
And He said to me, Son, if it is that cheap go and buy your own.
Do not tell me you are a Christian and you lied and God allows you to get away with it.
Who is deceiving who?
Do not tell me you are born-again and you can still cheat
It does not happen.
Do not tell me you are born-again and you are still keeping all those boy-friends, girl-friends; still doing things contrary to the will of God
It does not happen; if you are born of God the seed comes in you and things become brand new.
So those of you who are here tonight that you know you have not experience genuine salvation;
Because God is going to silence mockers tonight and before the fire begins to fall He will separate those who are His own from those who are not.
If you have not been born-again, you have not felt great sorrow for your sin;
Because repentance really means I acknowledge my sin; I am sad for them; I have made up my mind never to go back again; that is repentance.
Let me tell you my brother and sister no salvation without repentance
So if you are here tonight and you have not given your life to Jesus or you claim you have given your life but He did not change you, you better come now; come and surrender your life to Jesus
Come and cry to Him to please forgive all the evil you have done in the past and give you a brand new beginning.
Come and cry to Him to save your soul and that His blood will wash you clean; that is blood will bring you into the family of God.
I will count from one to ten
Before I say ten, come and stand before me; I will pray for your salvation and then we can proceed from there.
I am counting now:
One,
Those of you in the old arena just go towards the altar, there are people there who will attend to you and my prayer will reach you when it is time to pray.
Two,
You must come with the determination and say bye-bye to life of sin and I want to surrender my life to Jesus Christ and I want to become a child of the Living God; I want people to see me and see Christ in me.
Three,
You must only come if you are sorry for your sins and you want to repent; you want to say no more, no more, no more; Lord just have mercy on me; forgive the sins of the past and give me a new beginning.
Five
Thank you those of you who are clapping; clap as of you are born-again because His word says whatever your hand finds to do you do it with all your might.
Six, seven, eight, nine,
Cry unto Him and say Lord please save my soul, forgive all my sin, change me completely from inside house; do not let me ever go back into sin; be my Lord, be my Saviour and I will serve You for the rest of my life.
Cry unto Him; cry unto Him
And the rest of us please let us stretch our hands to our new brothers and sisters and intercede for them that the One who saved our souls will save their own souls also. Let us pray for them brethren; intercede for them; let us cry to God for them that every one of them will get genuine salvation tonight that they will be saved thoroughly, everything will become new for them that they will not be able to go back to their way of sin after tonight. Please intercede for them. Pray brethren.
And those of you who are coming hurry up because I want to pray for salvation now; I want to call on my God, the One who saved my soul to save your soul also. If you are coming, hurry up. Thank You Jesus.
In Jesus mighty name we have prayed.
Saviour I want to say thank You. Thank You for Your word and thank You for these people who have come forward to surrendered their lives to You. Daddy You promised that whosoever will come unto You, You will no wise cast out – they have come to You now Father, please receive them in Jesus’ name. They have come to You now for salvation my Father and my God, please save their souls in Jesus’ name; let Your blood, that powerful blood, wash away their sins in Jesus’ name; write their name in the Book of Life; let them become brand new creature for You and let them become member of the family of God. Father, I pray they will never go back into the world. From now on, anytime they call on You, Father, please answer them by fire. Thank You Almighty God.
In Jesus mighty name we have prayed.
Amen.
Now, those of you who have come forward, let me hear shout hallelujah
I rejoice with you
From now by the grace I will be praying for you
So I am going to need your names, your address and your prayer request.
The Counselors will give you card which you will fill quickly and then you can return it to them before you return to your sit.
Now we go to part B of our programme: Silencing Mockers.
The reasons why your mockers are in trouble is simply because of your association with God.
1John chapter 4 verse 4 says: ye are of God little children and I have overcome them: why? Because greater is He that is in you than he that is in the world.
You see, the Bible teaches that if you are a true child of God, anyone who touches you is touching God; anyone who persecutes you is persecuting God.
Acts chapter 9 verse 1 to 5: Saul of Tarsus was going to Damascus; he was going with intention of dealing with Christians, he met the Lord on the way.
I have good news for someone today: all those who have the intention of persecuting you, they will meet the Lord on the way.
Now, when he met the Lord on the way and he fell on the sport; a voice spoke to him from heaven: Saul, Saul, why are you persecuting Me?
He said who are you?
Who am I persecuting?
Jesus said Jesus
You are persecuting My children that means you are persecuting Me.
The Bible says in Isaiah 63 verse 8 and 9 that whenever the children of God are afflicted He shares in the affliction;
In all their afflictions, He was afflicted – that’s what the Bible says.
In Proverbs chapter 17 verse 5, the Bible says he who mocked the poor, reproaches his maker.
So whenever someone is mocking you, he is actually reproaching God and God will answer the fellow.
As a matter of fact Psalm 115 verse 1 to 3 made it clear: whenever someone says where is your God? God will answer and tell him: I AM in heaven and I do as I please.
So let us look at this case of fruitlessness because this month is a special month for those who are trusting God for the fruit of the womb.
And I thank God for the testimonies we have heard;
I am sure those of you who are here last month you saw the thousands of people who are formerly barren who brought their children and we have seen more tonight.
There will always be people who will want to mock you if by the time you are suppose to bring forth you have not brought forth.
1Samuel chapter 1 verse 1 to 6 – we have the case of Hannah; the other wife in the house was giving her a hell of a time
What are you doing in my husband house; eating our food and not producing children?
In Genesis chapter 16 verse 1 to 4, the Bible told us that it was even Sarah who gave her maid to her husband;
Say, I have not been able to conceive, go in to my maid and let us get child through her.
The Bible said as soon as the maid conceived she began to mock her mistress.
For those who are mocking your fruitlessness…
I would have told you before when we talk about barrenness, we are not just talking about the fruit of the womb, we are also talking about failure in other areas of life.
When you make efforts and there is nothing to show for it, they say you are barren.
When anybody begins to mock your fruitlessness, they are mocking God; and they are mocking the Commander of wombs.
Genesis chapter 1 verse 26 or let us just take verse 28, when God made man and woman after He blessed them, He commanded them, be fruitful – It’s a command of the womb of the woman – produce
And in the Name that is above every other name your womb will obey the commandment of God.
He spoke to one woman; commanded one womb and suddenly the human race begin to multiply
The Bible says by the time we get to Genesis chapter 6 verse 1: He said, men multiplied from one womb.
After the flood and there was only one family saved, God again said to Noah and his family be fruitful.
And as soon as He said that they began to multiply again; as a matter of fact, the whole world today came from that same single family.
When they mocked Job for being barren, they are mocking the One who can close and can open.
In Genesis 29 verse 31, the Bible said when the Almighty God saw that Leah was hated and Rachael was loved;
He said well, let us show you this is not the way it should be done
He opened the womb of Leah and closed the womb of Rachael.
He can close but He can also open.
In Genesis chapter 30 verse 22 to 23, the Bible said God remembered Rachael and open her womb.
Almighty God will remember someone here today.
The Bible says in Revelation chapter 3 verse 7 that He has the keys of David and when He opens no man can shut; when He shut, no man can open.
Tonight, I am going to be brief as possible because I want you to pray with all your heart.
I am going to ask you to pray fire down on your mockers.
A story was told of a woman:
In those days when a woman’s pad was not disposable like we have today; and a woman as special piece of cloth that she uses every month.
And there was this young lady, just married and discovered that are menstrual pad disappeared.
She did not know that it was the mother-in-law who took it away and got it charmed.
Shortly after she couldn’t find the pad, she find out she could no longer menstruate.
Of course she thought maybe I am pregnant;
But she discovered she was not pregnant and she was not menstruating – young lady.
And one day, she came in contact with a man of God and they prayed.
And it was in those days when people use lantern for light.
Her mother-in-law wanted to light lantern (you know this kerosene lantern) and somehow the lantern fell and there was light fire
And what got burnt was the menstrual pad that the mother-in-law has stolen and used for a charm.
The following day the lady began to menstruate; nine month later the baby began to arrive.
I want you to stand on your feet and lift your voice to the Almighty God and say: Father, anything blocking my way to fruitfulness, send down Your fire tonight and burn it off; burn it off; burn it off.
Anything blocking my way to fruitfulness my Father and my God send down Your fire tonight and burn it off. Anything whatsoever that may be hindering my fruitfulness send down Your fire Lord and burn it off; send down Your fire; send down Your fire; send down Your fire; whatever it is that is blocking my way to fruitfulness send down Your fire and burn it off; You are the Consuming fire, let Your fire fall and consume everything standing in my way to fruitfulness; You commanded me to be fruitful, You commanded me to multiply, I want to obey You, whatever is standing between me and fruitfulness, tonight Lord send down Your fire and just burn it off; burn it off; burn it off; send down Your consuming fire and consume everything, everything standing between me and fruitfulness; Lord God Almighty send down Your fire. And if you have a relation that is not here pray that prayer for that fellow – who is considered barren – my relation somewhere is considered barren; anything standing between my loved ones and fruitfulness Lord send down Your fire tonight and burn it off, and burn it off. Thank You my Father. Thank You Jesus.
In Jesus mighty name we have prayed.
And so shall it be in Jesus’ name.
Please be seated.
But then at times they will say to you that the problem with you, the problem why you are not being fruitful is physical, something biological; they will say the womb is malfunctioning that is why you have miscarriages.
Support the Good work on this Blog CLICK HERE TO GIVE AND SUPPORT US God Bless you
They will say your womb is incapable that is why occasionally some people give birth to still birth.
They have all manners of names.
You heard one testimony tonight: Someone they said because of this and that can never have a child.
Next time you hear that and please do not misunderstand me; God bless Doctors, they are wonderful people and they speak according to what they know.
Science says when conditions are like this, this fellow can never have a child
Next time you hear that let your reaction be: no Doctor is my Lord; it was not science that created me, it was God.
And according to Mark 7 verse 37 He has done everything well.
In Genesis chapter 1 verse 31, when He finished creating everything: He said behold they were very good.
Psalm 139 verse 14 says: I am fearfully and wonderfully made.
If you are here and you are trusting God for the fruit of the womb and you have been told that you cannot have a child lay your hand on your stomach and say it loud and clear: my womb is wonderfully made and my creator does not make mistake.
Even if there is anything wrong with you biologically God can correct it.
In John chapter 9 verse 1 to 7, in the story of the man who was born blind:
The Bible says Jesus spit on the ground and made some mud, put where the eyes supposed to be and told him to go and wash.
He washed and came back clean.
He went through the process of creation because we were made from the dust of the earth; to show that He can recreate even when something is incorrect.
In Acts chapter 3 verse 1 to 8, the Lame man by the beautiful gate was born lame;
A day came, Almighty God step into the situation and corrected everything.
And when He wants to do it, He does it in an instant.
In John chapter 5 verse 2 to 9, the Bible spoke of a man who have been sick for thirty-eight years; in an instant Almighty God changed everything.
You have heard several testimonies and your own will not be different.
You have heard the testimony of the lady for example who was considered barren; had gone everywhere; until finally a Professor of Gynaecologist told her: you do not even have ovary.
Woman you have no ovary, how can you ever be pregnant?
And when the husband told her this is what the doctor said.
The woman said well, in that case let me just go home and eat and die.
The husband said no, we have heard the Doctor’s report, let us go to Redemption camp let us come and hear the Lord’s report.
I decree tonight that every report contrary to your fruitfulness will be completely wiped out.
She came, it was when we are in the first auditorium – we were few then; all of us will be about ten thousand at the convention – and I was laying hands on the people: all those who are trusting God for the fruit of the womb came forward and I was laying hand on them.
I remembered her case especially because I laid hand on her, she fell under the anointing and she was on the ground for hours;
It was at night, we thought maybe she was just trying to use the opportunity to sleep;
We did not know God was performing an operation, by the time she came the following year, she came with her baby.
In the Name that is above every other name when you come next year you will come with your baby.
You have heard tonight of a lady who said I attended a programme and I sat where Daddy G.O sat – you have heard several of that.
You will remember a case of a woman that they told she had no womb; she had nothing; nothing reproductive in her.
And then we went and held a programme somewhere and then after we finished some people were struggling to seat on my chair and this woman did nothing;
She went and knelt down by my wife’s chair and prayed a prayer:
God the woman who sat here does not need her womb anymore; she does not need tube, she does not need ovary; transfer her own to me.
You have heard the testimony before
By the time she was sharing the testimony, she already had two children.
I want you to stand on your feet and cry to the Almighty God tonight and say: Father, whatever that is imperfect in my system, correct or replace.
Go ahead talk to the Almighty God.
If there is anything imperfect in my system, either You correct it or You replace; I know You are able to do whatever is imperfect in my system from the top of my head to the sole of my feet; Father, either You correct it or You replace it, do it tonight Lord; I know You can do it, You have done it before, You have done it again and again, do it again tonight, do it again tonight, do it again tonight, do it again tonight. Whatever is imperfect in my system, anything imperfect in my system, it is either You correct or You replace; Lord I know You can do it, You have done it before, do it again tonight, do it for me, do it for me, do it for me, do it for me Lord. Thank You Jesus. If it something imperfect in me – biologically or physically- whatever it is Lord, it is either you do it Lord or You replace it; just do it for me Lord because You are my creator; I was not created by science, I was not created by any doctor, You created me, do not let science mock You, You are the Almighty God; whatever is wrong with me Lord God Almighty, whatever is imperfect in me, repair or replace. Thank You my Father.
In Jesus mighty name we have prayed.
And so shall it be in Jesus’ name.
Please let us be seated.
But then they may say no no your case is not biological and nothing wrong with you physical.
And I am sure many of you have had cases like that; you go to the hospital, they check everything and say you are fine; we cannot see the reason why you should not conceive; everything is working perfectly.
So they say your case is spiritual and there is a possibility you know like in Exodus chapter 5 verse 1 to 2: when Moses and Aaron went in to Pharaoh, they said, the Lord said let my people go that they may serve God
Pharaoh said who is the Lord, I don’t know Him, I am not going to let Israel go.
There might be curses holding you in bondage: spiritual husband; spiritual wife; evil in-laws or a curse or an evil covenant – they are spiritual curses for barrenness.
The point is: even these evil forces that may want to stand between you and fruitfulness are merely mocking the Lord of host
Because according to Psalm 24 verse 7 to 10: when the King of glory wants to come, all doors must lift their heads.
Anytime any force mocks God, God response.
In Daniel 3 verse 13 to 30, Nebuchadnezzar said who is that God that can deliver you from my hand?
Shadrach, Meshach and Abednego answered him: it is not between us and you; it is between you and our God and God showed him.
If there evil forces trying to hinder fruitful the Lord of host will deal with them tonight.
Because Philippians chapter 2 verse 9 to 11 says at the mention of the name of Jesus all knees must bow;
It does not matter how thick the darkness; and I know what I am talking about; I have had to deal with some of these forces of darkness one on one on many occasions.
It does not matter how thick the darkness, the word of God says the light shine in darkness and darkness cannot overcome it.
Every force of darkness surrounding you will be put to fly in Jesus’ name.
I can tell you several stories, I mean I can remind you of several testimonies
Oh thank You Father.
The Lord says there is someone here and Doctor told you specifically that your womb is in a mess; the Lord asks me to tell you, I will replace that womb.
You remember the story of one of our sisters who was barren and they have done everything;
Until one day somebody called the husband aside and said stop worrying yourself, stop wasting your money, your wife will never have a child because we have taken her womb away.
I know science does not understand what that one mean.
Thank You Father.
I want to say amen to this even before I tell you
Because the Almighty God said your number one enemy will receive a visit from My angel tonight.
I am just trying to think which of the testimonies to tell you.
Suddenly they called this man aside and said sorry we have taken the womb of your wife and she is never going to have a child.
And then we held a meeting like this and the word of God came that there is someone here they said you are never going to have a child but God say you are going to have a set of twin
And the woman say glory be to God that must be me;
And that will be you too
And the Doctors have examine them again and again for years; spent a lot of money
And one day she went to see the Doctor and the Doctor said haa, I do not know what is happening but you are pregnant, there is a child here
And the lady said to the Doctor: no, no, not a child; the word of God said a set of twins.
The Doctor said what I can see here is a child.
Couple of months later she went for the normal something, the Doctor said I can see two now.
And then the time came for her to deliver and because the husband said I don’t want to take risk just take out the children by Caesarean section operation and then tie the womb, just two will be enough.
So they put the woman to sleep; when she woke she saw everybody looking at her as if somebody who came from mars;
And she said what is happening; where are my children?
Your children her okay, let the doctor come.
And then the Doctor came
She said what is the problem?
The Doctor said I have performed more than three thousand operations but this is the first time I have delivered a set of twins and there is no womb.
A set of twins and no womb!
I am talking about the Almighty here tonight
I want you to stand on your feet and cry to the Almighty: Every evil force standing between me and fruitfulness, Lord of host, dismiss them all.
Open your mouth and cry to the Almighty.
Every evil force standing between me and fruitfulness, Lord of host, dismiss them all; everyone of them, everyone of them, everyone of them; every evil force that I maybe contending with – they say there is nothing wrong with me physically, they say I am okay natural but yet I am barren; every evil force that maybe responsible for my barrenness, Daddy, deal with it tonight, deal with it tonight. Every evil force standing between me and my fruitfulness, You are the Lord of host, deal with them tonight, deal with them tonight. Thank You my Father. Every evil force, in any force whatsoever, it might be a curse, it might be an evil covenant, it might be demons, spiritual husband, spiritual wife, whatever evil force that might be responsible for my lack of fruitfulness, deal with it tonight Lord, deal with it tonight. Every evil force standing between and fruitfulness, Lord of host, dismiss them all, dismiss them all. Thank You Father. Thank You Lord. Every evil force standing between me and fruitfulness my Father and my God dismiss tonight, dismiss tonight, dismiss tonight.
In Jesus mighty name we have prayed.
And so shall it be in Jesus’ name.
Please be seated.
And then there are cases that humanly speaking will be considered hopeless – too old; too late; already passed the age of fruitfulness.
Anytime you hear anybody saying something like that to you, just know that they are mocking your God.
Why?
Because your God is the Almighty
Psalm 91 verse 1 says ye that dwelleth in the secret place of the most High shall abide under the shadow of the Almighty.
Almighty means the One who has all might.
He asked a question; your God asked a question in Jeremiah 32 verse 27: He said, I AM the God of all flesh, is there anything too hard for Me?
We are not talking about man; we are not talking about medicine; we are not talking about science, we are talking about the Almighty.
They say you are too old;
What about Sarah in Genesis chapter 21:9 to 14, she was already ninety years old;
She should have retired from child’s bearing from forty years if not more
But God spoke a word and suddenly what was old became new.
They may say your case is too late
Have they forgotten?
John 11 verse 39 to 44: Lazarus had been dead four days; the sister said it was too late.
It might be too for man, not too late for God; not too late for God – what is dead He can bring back to life
Ezekiel 37 verse 1 to 10 said clearly He can bring dry bones back to life.
I mean, He asked a Prophet, a Prophet is supposed to be a man who is very close to God; Ezekiel can these bones live?
Ezekiel said this is beyond my faith.
Even if your case is defile the faith of your Pastor put your trust in God He is still the Almighty.
Too old, too late, impossible situation – the word impossible is not in the dictionary of God: for with God nothing shall be impossible.
Some of you, at least the older ones will remember:
This young boy, young man rather, he was born with one testicle and then the parent trying to help…
Thank You Almighty
Glory be to God.
The Lord said there is someone here today, He said the source of your problem is envy. He said relax I will take care of the situation.
Oh thank You Jesus.
This one is for me because it is completely out of the bloom it has nothing to do with what we are discussing.
The Lord said there is someone here tonight, He said attempt to kill you will backfire.
I hope your enemies can hear that.
Backfire means the people who fired will pay with their own lives.
So there was this young man who was born with a testicle and the parent trying to help him took him to a herbalist who in the process of helping him destroys the only one.
And so the boy grew up without any testicle at all
Then we held a programme at road park Yaba but somehow the word of God came that God was distributing spare parts and the boy grabbed it.
Three or four months later the boy came to visit me in my office at Ebute metta and he came with his wife:
He said Sir, after the word came two testicles just came out of nowhere; the wife was pregnant.
So when he wants to show me the testicle I said do not worry I can see the sign.
Let somebody shout hallelujah.
I want you to stand on your feet; I want you to pray this prayer with all your heart and say: Father, You are my hope of glory, all those who say it is too late for me surprise them.
Go ahead talk to the Almighty God.
You are my hope of glory, all those who say my own is too late that there is no hope for me, surprise them, surprise them You are my hope of glory Lord; show them that out of the hopeless situation You can still bring out glory; You are my hope of glory Daddy; You are my hope of glory; You are my hope of glory; You are my hope of glory; You are my hope of glory. Thank You Jesus. You are my hope of glory; all those who say it is too late for me, all those who say there is no hope for me, surprise them, Lord surprise them; surprise them; surprise them because You are my hope of glory; they say it is too late, they say there is no hope for me, show them, show them; show them. Thank You Father. By this time next year let them see that You are the Hope of the hopeless, show them, show them, show them. Thank You Father. Thank You Father.
In Jesus mighty name we have prayed.
And so shall it be in Jesus’ name.
Please be seated.
Now, let us go on a broader note; let us go beyond fruit of the womb: Success in your business; success in your career; success in your academic pursuit
Those who mock your fruitless efforts either in your business, in your career academic pursuit etc, they are mocking the Great Enabler.
Because it is true there are many of us who have worked hard and have nothing to show for it and so people mocked us.
The reason why many people who will have gone back home to their villages and become very good farmers;
The reason they cannot go back is because people will say you have gone for twenty years, what have you brought back?
When I travelled abroad I see people there and I tried to counsel them: go back home
They find it difficult to take my advice.
Because I have seen Doctors, Medical Doctor who left here for America, looking for greener pastures and they get there and they tell them: we are not doubting how great your University is but you want to practice Medicine here, you have to do this thing again.
You find Doctors becoming people who will be distributing pizza;
Seeing Bank Managers who left from one nation or the other to go and become night guards.
Go home!
And they say they will ask you have gone all this years, what have you brought back?
All those who have been mocking your failure, the Almighty God will silence them tonight.
In Luke chapter 5 verse 1 to 7, Peter fished all night, he was hardworking but the Bible said he caught nothing.
It is possible to work hard and have nothing to show forth.
But when the great Enabler stepped in, when Jesus moved in and he had to call people to come and help him to carry the fish; nobody could mock him anymore.
In Philippians 4 verse 13, the Bible says I can do all things through Christ who strengthened me.
In Isaiah chapter 40…
Thank You Father.
I don’t know who this one is for but the Lord said the one who lied against you will become your servant.
In Isaiah chapter 40 verse 28 to 31, the Bible says God give strength to the weak and they that wait upon the Lord shall renew their strength.
May I decree to somebody that from today onward you will never fail again.
Those who say you have worked and worked and there is nothing to show for it, they have forgetting that your father is the owner of all
Psalm 24 verse 1 made it clear: the earth is the Lord and fullness thereof.
Haggai chapter 2 verse 8 says even silver and gold belong to Him.
Those who say you cannot succeed God will give them a surprise.
I have told you this story before:
One of my children came to me and says Daddy I want to build house.
I said wonderful
He said but I want you to keep it secret; keep it secret; do not tell my parent until the house is built.
I said fine, I can keep a secret.
He built the house and when the house was ready he said send for my parent
Tell them: I want you to escort me to somewhere.
I did as I was instructed.
We got to the house; we dedicated the house;
When we finished dedicating the house, he signal to me and said tell my parent this is their house.
I turned to the parent and said this is their house.
They said how can it be our house; we did not build a house.
Oh, it is built for you by this boy.
The parents did not know what to do whether to cry for joy or to cry for pain.
It was earlier they had spoken to that boy because he was not doing as well as his younger ones academically.
They had said to him that: you! You cannot amount to anything.
The one they said he cannot amount to anything build a house for them
You can understand.
I want you to stand on your feet and cry to the Almighty God and say: Father, those who say I won’t reach the top, silence them.
Go ahead talk to the Almighty God.
All those who said that I will not reach the top in anyway whatsoever silence them Lord; silence them; silence them; those who say I won’t reach the top, those who say there is no way for me that I cannot make it, Daddy, silence them; silence them; silence them. All those who said I cannot make it in life, my Father and my God, all those who are mocking my destiny, those who looked at me and they have concluded this is how far you can go, silence them Lord, show them that they are not the Almighty but You are; silence them Lord. Thank You my Daddy. Silence them. Those who said I won’t make, those who said I can never become what You plan for me to be; those who said I cannot reach the top, silence them Lord; because You are the One they are mocking, You are the One they are mocking, silence them Lord. If they say I can never have a child, give me a set of twins to silence them; if they say I can never prosper put me in a situation that I will show them that my Almighty God controls the heaven and the earth. If they say my ministry will not prosper silence them Lord and You know how to do it by breakthroughs, signs, wonders; silence them Lord. Thank You my Father. All those who want to limit me, who want to say how far you can go, no further, silence them, silence them Lord. Thank You Almighty God.
In Jesus mighty name we have prayed.
And so shall it be in Jesus’ name.
Please be seated
I want to close now because we still have some things we want to do tonight.
I want to close with an appeal to you, do not mock your maker.
Because when you begin to doubt Him, you are mocking Him.
2Corinthians chapter 1verse 20 says His promises in Christ are yea and in Him Amen.
If God had made a promise, He will fulfill it.
Even if that promise seems to you like a joke, He will fulfill it.
I say He will fulfill it.
In 2Kings chapter 4 verse 8 to 17, Elisha said to the Shunammite woman: nine month from now you will be carrying a baby boy.
The Shunammite woman said, man of God do not deceive me.
Do not doubt your God.
Once He has spoken, it is done.
Psalm 33 verse 8 and 9: He said the whole earth should fear before God;
Why?
Because He speaks and it is done
I am a living example when God speaks it is done.
I was living in a room in Mushin, you know it
I was praying for boys-quarters in Mushin when He spoke to me: Son, do not ask Me for a house, I have decided to build you a city.
It did not make sense.
But when He speaks it is done.
When He speaks it is done; don’t ever doubt Him.
I told you again and again, you know my story.
I want to encourage you tonight, stop doubting God.
I have told you way back in 1961 I gave a gift to a prophet – not much, the little I had I gave to him – we were living the same house
And he said, thus saith the Lord: one day you will be going to Abroad like people go to the market.
What he is talking about?
Those days when somebody goes abroad in my village, when the man returns the whole village will dance to welcome him.
By the time he was talking I have never been to Ikeja.
Today, I almost wish that his prophesy was qualified.
Don’t doubt God; don’t doubt God.
The God who said to my-father-in-the-Lord, an illiterate, through you I AM going to build church that will go round the world.
How can you say that to somebody who cannot even write his name?
Today, the Redeemed Christian Church of God is in One Hundred and ninety-seven nations of the world (197).
Because when God speaks it is done.
I was talking to my children, those who are graduating; I said dream big, let your dream be so big that it will take only God to fulfill it.
I told them one of my dreams; the dream I have already shared with some of the Pastors here.
I told them that a day is coming when the governing council of this church want to hold a meeting, they will hold the meeting on the moon.
I know you will say that is crazy.
Wait and see.
What do I say?
So on the basis of that; I am saying to those of you who are trusting God for the fruit of the womb get ready for twins, triplet, four at a go.
And I am saying to those of you that the world is looking down saying you cannot become anybody;
When they are talking of people succeeding, do you think they are talking about you?
In the Name that is above every other name, all those who said so, God will silence them.
So we are going to do some things now;
Later on tonight we are going to lay hands on every one of you, every one of you.
But the laying of hands is in agreement; agreement with whatever you believed God for.
Please do not believe God for something small tonight; believe Him for something mighty.
First, the altar is open; you come and talk to God yourself.
All the prayer you are going to pray tonight is just about ten or fifteen minutes because after that we are going to lay hands on you in agreement.
You are just going to cry to the Almighty God: Father, silence my mockers; silence my mockers; silence my mockers – physically, materially, financially, spiritually; academically, silence my mockers.
Almighty God, silence my mockers; silence my mockers Lord, show the world that You are the Almighty, silence my mockers; silence my mockers; all those who have written me off, all those who said I won’t become anything, silence my mockers; all those who said it is already too late for me my Father and my God, silence my mockers; silence my mockers Daddy; silence my mockers my Lord and my Saviour; silence my mockers; silence them Lord.
Thank You Jesus.
Thank You Almighty God.
In Jesus mighty name we have prayed.
The Lord of host will answer your prayers. He will silence all your mockers. All those who have been mocking your maker will get surprise tonight. And those who say you will not make it, God will silence them. So shall it be.
In Jesus mighty name we have prayed.
Amen.
Praise the Lord.
