It is difficult to describe my joy, the Bible talks about categories of joy. He talks about joy unspeakable and full of glory that is my joy and I pray that the God I serve will give you that kind of joy.
- I remember the beginning when the Bishop will come from Kaduna in one old Volks Wagon car and I will have to pray the car takes him back to Kaduna safely.
- I remember those days he got his first jet and people criticized me for going to bless it and I heard the jet had troubles on the air one time well what do you expect from a jet that cost half a million dollars.
- I remember those days of small beginnings, my Daddy spoke to me and said what we are seeing now is still the days of small beginnings.
My beloved son, congratulations, thank God for what He has done but we are just about to begin.
Exodus 4:1-7, 20
When you get to the Scriptures you will find that number 40 is associated with new beginnings. Noah was in the ark for 40 days before he opened the window, Jesus Christ fasted for 40 days. It will interest you to know that Moses had been around Mount Horeb for 40 years, Exodus 3, before all of a sudden the bush began to burn. Moses heard God call his name for the first time and then they had a lot of discussions.
When God gave me this particular passage to talk on, I knew that apart from the Bishop, his wife and children, there is somebody here today who Is going to get an anniversary gift. This is because after Moses and the Almighty God discussed for a while Moses was frightened by the miracles:
There are miracles and there are miracles. Acts 19:11-12, this means that not all miracles are special but in this case the miracle that Moses saw frightened him. Psalms 67:5-7
- May I prophesy to someone, before this day is over you will see a fearful miracle. The Lord told Moses don’t run, take the snake by the tail. It is one thing to see a miracle and another thing to touch a miracle. 2 Kings 4:1-7
Psalms 1:1-3, the Bible tells us that one of the blessings we will get if we concentrate on God is that whatsoever we touch will prosper.
- That is my second prophecy today from now on, whatever you touch will prosper.
- I decree right now, every hand lifted now, beginning from this moment whatever you touch shall prosper.
God said to Moses, put your hand into your bosom, pull it out and it became leprosy, then He said again put it back and he did and it became normal. I believe God was saying to Moses and maybe to someone here today, it is one thing to see a miracle, another thing to touch a miracle but it is an entirely different thing to experience a miracle yourself.
Isaiah 40:28 tells us that there is a difference between hearing and knowing. We have heard of testimonies, when are you going to be the testimony? I believe it’s now.
1 John 1:1
My Father in the Lord told me a story that in the beginning of RCCG when things were hard, God performed a special miracle for him, God told him, just manage to get enough money to prepare a pot of soup. He told him, tell your wife that from today onward, let her begin to dish from the pot without looking inside and she did. Today fish will come out, tomorrow it will be chicken, another time it will be beef, until one day out of curiosity she looked and the pot was empty. I heard that testimony and it shook me but I had an experience, I traveled to the East to preach and I was returning I got to Onitsha I wanted to refuel, no fuel. I got to Asaba no fuel, Benin, Ore no fuel and the gauge of my car was reading reserve and God spoke and said son take your eyes off the gauge and drive off and I began to drive. When I got to Surulere I looked at my car and it read empty.
- In the name of the one who called me, in the name of the one who commissioned your Bishop, from now on you will be experiencing miracles.
Exodus 4:20, after Moses saw a miracle, touched a miracle and experienced a miracle, the Bible said he went back to Egypt and he took the Rod of God with him. This means that:
- You will not leave here empty handed
- It means that he carried a miracle with him. 2 Kings 2:9-15
There is something special the Almighty God will want me to do for you today, someone is going to go home with a gift.
- Concerning any of you, the plan of the enemy is a lie.
Moses woke up that morning a fugitive and before the day was over according to Exodus 7:1, he had become a God to Pharaoh.
- From now on, when the enemy see you coming they will run, it takes God minutes to change a man’s life permanently.
- From now on, things will never be the same again in your life.
Altar Call:
I cannot close this service without giving someone an opportunity to accept Christ. 2 Corinthians 5:17
You want everything in you life to become new, you must give your life to Jesus, that is the only way. If you have not given your life to Jesus, you must come and give your life to the Saviour who will save you permanently.
Cry to Jesus to have mercy on you and save your soul. Give me a brown new beginning and I will serve you for the rest of my life. The rest of us who are sure of our salvation let us intercede for them.
