SOME OF YOU WILL NOT MAKE HEAVEN NOT BECAUSE OF THE SIN THAT YOU COMMIT BUT THE COMPLAINTS THAT YOU COMPLAIN.
THERE IS NO COMPLAINER IN HEAVEN!!!
PRAYER IS GOOD, WARFARE IS GOOD BUT THE FORCE OF PRAISE AND WORSHIP SHOULD NOT BE TAKEN BY ANY OTHER FORCE IN THE KINGDOM!
SOMETIMES, FORGET YOUR PROBLEM AND THANK HIM FOR THE THINGS THAT HE HAS DONE! EVEN THE ONES THAT HE HAS DONE, DID YOUR RETURN HIS PORTION TO HIM?
SOMETIMES TO BRING YOU TO THE CONSCIOUSNESS, GOD WILL CONSCIOUSLY LEAVE YOU STRANDED SO THAT YOU WILL LOOK FOR HIM.
AND WHEN YOU THANK HIM FOR EVERYTHING, HE WILL ENSURE THAT NOTHING IS LEFT UNDONE!
EVERY COMPLAINANT WILL ALWAYS END UP A TENANT!
PEOPLE EATING WITH YOU ARE A MYSTERY THAT YOU WILL NEVER LACK WHAT TO EAT UNTIL YOU DIE.
DO YOU HAVE PROBLEMS HEARING THE VOICE OF GOD? THEN YOUR PRAISE AND WORSHIP ALTAR IS DEAD!
THROW AWAY YOUR TITLE, THERE IS NO ENTITLEMENT WITH TITLE!
IF A MAN WHO GOD IS ANGRY WITH IS PRAISING GOD, WHAT OF YOU WHO GOD IS HAPPY WITH? WHY ARE YOU RUNNING FROM GOD?
ANY TIME THAT YOU ARE CONSCIOUS OF YOUR STATUS WHILE IN GOD’S HOUSE, WATCH! YOU HAVE BECOME A STATUE!
IF IN PRAISE AND WORSHIP, THE ATMOSPHERE DOES NOT CHANGE, QUICKLY CHANGE THE PRAISE AND WORSHIP LEADER!
THE OIL DOES NOT DROP ON THE ALTAR, THE OIL DROPS IN THE CLOSET!
UNTIL YOU HAVE WHAT IS WRITTEN, YOU WILL NOT WRITE OFF WHAT IS HAPPENING, THE EVIL HAPPENING AGAINST YOU WILL STILL BE HAPPENING!
YOUR PHONE IS THE BOX OF DESTINY! YOU BETTER KNOW IT ON TIME; OTHERWISE YOU WILL BE THE PERSONAL PROBLEM OF YOUR OWN LIFE!
PRAISE AND WORSHIP IS A LEVEL-CHANGER
OBSTACLES AND BARRIERS ARE CRUSHED IN THE PLACE OF PRAISE AND WORSHIP!
WHEN YOU WORSHIP HIM, YOUR WAR BECOMES CHEAP!
IF YOU PRAISE HIM, HE WILL RAISE YOU!
ACCEPTANCE AND FAVOUR IS PROVOKED BY PRAISE!
AS FAR AS YOUR PRAISE AND WORSHIP IS DEAD, YOUR FAVOUR ENCOUNTER WILL BE SUSPENDED!
SHOW ME A FAVORED PERSON AND I WILL SHOW YOU SOMEONE WHO IS LOST IN PRAISE!
IF YOU CAN PRAISE HIM WITH BARRENNESS, HE WILL CONVERT YOUR BARRENNESS TO FRUITFULNESS!
PRAISE HIM WHEN THERE IS NO CHILD!
PRAISE AND WORSHIP WILL TURN SCARCITY TO PLENTY!
TO GIVE PLENTY PRAISE IS TO ENJOY PLENTY IN THE MIDST OF POVERTY FOR THE REST OF YOUR LIFE.
I HAVE NEVER SEEN ANYONE WHO IS GIVEN TO PRAISE AND WORSHIP THAT HIS POCKET AND PURSE IS EVER EMPTY! BEFORE THE THING FINISHES, HE WILL JUST SUPPLY!
ANYTIME THAT YOU FIGHT AND FIGHT! WATCH, YOU ARE NOT A ‘PRAISER’, NOT A WORSHIPPER!
IN PRAISE, YOU STEP OUT AND YOUR FATHER STEPS IN!
PRAISE MAKES YOUR WAR CHEAP!
TO HAVE BREAD AND BREATH! – WHICH ONE DO YOU PREFER!
SOME OF YOU HAVE CHOSEN BREAD INSTEAD OF BREATH!
IF YOU LIKE HAVE A BAKERY, WITHOUT BREATH, YOU CANNOT OPERATE THE BAKERY!
Bishop Wisdom Irabor on “THE POWER AND PURPOSE OF PRAISE AND WORSHIP PART 1” || Answers Assembly Warri || First Service
-Prayer: Wherever you are whoever that wants to pull you down, may they die! Church Gist. You are seeing the end of this month; you will see the end of this year!
Any Church where they don’t just come together and just praise God and Worship without asking anything, the people will always be dry and stranded, they will always lack testimony, they will lack freshness. Church Gist. Prayer is good, warfare is good but the force of Praise and Worship should not be taken by any other force in the Kingdom!
You are where you are now because you don’t Praise and Worship God, you complain every time. You always ask and ask, if asking can change things, you won’t be where you are now. Church Gist. Sometimes, forget your problem and thank Him for the things that He has done! Even the ones that He has done, did your return His portion to Him?
If they are to put you on a scale, the Goodness and Mercies of God that you have enjoyed, compare it to what you have done for God. You never even behave as if God has helped you. Church Gist. I took a decision this morning and said, “There is someone in this Church that I will never help again, because every help given to this person makes the person irresponsible.
You help!!! Even when God shows a little Help! And God shows His Mercies and His Goodness, there is this entitlement and wrong mindset that I must be helped even when you are now in the position to give, touch lives, minister to others and bless others, you will always say, “I must be helped”.
It is a mindset and when you grow with this mindset, you will not be able to manage it. Church Gist. Even if you become a Governor, father, husband or any other thing you become, you will still be stingy because the foundation is faulty.
Sometimes to bring you to consciousness, God will consciously leave you stranded so that you will look for Him. Church Gist. We are just thanking Him for everything. And when you thank Him for everything, He will ensure that nothing is left undone!
This morning, we have THE POWER AND PURPOSE OF PRAISE AND WORSHIP PART 1.
So we are here to praise God and we program you to praise God in the first service and in the second service, we will enter into the praise and worship proper because we don’t always have time in the first service at most for a duration of an hour, thirty minutes. When the purpose of a thing is not known, abuse is inevitable!
When you don’t know the purpose of praise and worship, abuse is inevitable. Church Gist. For some, you will always praise Him when He has done something, you don’t know that you need to even praise Him for Him to do something!
So, Praise and Worship is our purpose on earth Psalms 145:4 Praise and Worship is also our destiny in eternity Revelation 4:11. In Heaven, it is Praise, no prayer, what are you praying for? Some of you will not make Heaven, not because of the sin that you commit, but the complaint that you complain, there is no complainer in Heaven! Church Gist. Everybody is a Worshipper!
Heaven is too honorable to admit a complainer and a murmurer. You can’t murmur around God’s Presence. Church Gist. And every complainant will always end up a tenant! Just keep complaining and you will just remain on the same spot!
Now, the four dimensions of Praise and Worship!
1.Our character is a form of Praise and Worship to God 1 Peter 2:9-10. There is the Holiness dimension of Praise where you live the life- Living in such a way that brings honor to God. Church Gist. If your actions cannot bring Praises to God, you are failing in that area!
2.Our giving to humanity is a form of Praise and Worship to God- Charitable acts. Anniversary is coming forth and you give an anniversary seed, I can even decide to feed five hundred people and so on as we announced for the Love Feast, that’s a form of Praise! Psalms 50:23, Matthew 5:16.
This is one of the strongest weapons of the other religion; I have never seen a millionaire from the other religion eat alone in his compound. When you get to the compound of one of them that is blessed by ‘allah’, you will never see them eating alone. Church Gist. Sometimes, when he is eating alone, his appetite dies, he must see people to eat with before he is able to eat.
But you will eat well when people are not with you, your best moment of eating is when nobody is there with you and when they even come around, you will frown. If you eat it alone you will suffer alone. People eating with you are a mystery that you will never lack what to eat until you die.
3.Our words is a form of Praise and Worship to God Psalms 7:17. ‘Our words not ‘our voice’. You don’t need to have voice to sing, you only need voice. Your singing, dancing and your testimony! Your “Thank you Jesus!” Church Gist. Any time that you keep the testimony, you deny people the opportunity to praise your God, you even deny your God, the opportunity to be praised.
You know the kind of blessings that God has given to us in this Church, there are some people that you beg them to testify as if there is one ‘juju’ and a shrine somewhere helping them. Testimony means, “I don’t have another source, this is my source”. Church Gist. Testimony means this is where and how it happened! Testimony means, “This is the secret of everything good that you see in my life”.
We did testimony time last week in the Pastor’s meeting at Canaan land Ota. Church Gist. A friend of mine who came from the same village with me, I never knew that for 22 years , he had no child, as close as we were, he is always smiling and looking more joyful that even those of us that have children.
He said that one day, it was Christmas and New Year period; everybody left the house for a holiday- all the house help and cook including the stewards. And then he and his wife said, “So we don’t have children!” Everywhere is silent, so he took his wife and they went to the mountain and stayed for seven days in the camp, praying, worshipping and thanking God for seven days. They didn’t complain! That was the seven days that terminated barrenness, she came back that day and missed her period, and then last week, the man was on the altar. 22 years! Church Gist. A man of God, a president and founder of a Church, he said, “Thank God, that God terminated barrenness in my life after 22 years!” As of last week, we have greeted four to six times that week, he is my brother! But I never knew, until he shared it.
That testimony that you refused to share is the Glory that people must give to God, it is how people will know that God is Powerful, it is how people will know that our God is a Faithful God, where you don’t share it, I won’t know that God can break 22 years barrenness! Church Gist. I won’t know that as close as we are that God has done something for you!
Where you don’t share it, other people believing God for the same thing, their hope will not be stretched to believe that such things can happen. Share it! It is a form of Praises to God! You sing it in words Psalms 9:2.
- Our dancing Psalm 149:3 Let them play the history of your life, let them check your graph, you dance more in the burial ground as if you killed the person. Church Gist.The second place you dance is in night clubs, parties.
Whenever there is a birthday party, the dancing grace in you comes out, but when you are with your Maker, you package everything! Paparazzi and effizy gets all over you when you are with your Maker you are swaggerlicious!
You complain of the drum, keyboard, instrumentalist and the person singing. But when you are in the nightclub, somebody will hold ‘igbo’ and sing and you will dance. When you are in the night club, a confirmed homosexual with hold the microphone and sing and you will dance, a confirmed lesbian will sing and you will dance but when you are Church, a Holy sister will sing and you will be experimenting the voice, “She can’t sing well, she can’t do this and that well”.
Hear me! You don’t belong to the Church,’ na mistake you take enter’. You better change now or we will drive you, and you want to carry that spirit into the House of God, it can’t work! Church Gist. You now see somebody dancing, and you now say, ”No respect!”
Somebody called me one day and said, “Which Bishop did you see dancing like this!” Which Pastor have you seen dancing this kind of ‘yeye dance’. Church Gist. He said, “ You are a man of God, a Bishop!”. When they say, “Dance!” Your own should be dancing with care, the way this and that Pastor dances. I said, “Nonsense!” I’m not that kind of Pastor and Bishop!
I preached in ‘Ijedun’ on Friday evening, I told them that we will have a seven minutes perfected dance, the thing is on Facebook. We have preached and prayed for everybody, let us dance for this God who made it possible for you to be blessed, I said to them, by this time next year, as I come your Pastor will be married and then there was no fiancée, nobody was around him for marriage and then few months after I said it, he got married!
When I came, I was not seeing children around and I want to now release prophetic Grace for children and God said, “Thank me for the first one”. I said let us dance for the first one. If you came now and still meet him single, will you kill me or kill Jesus? Church Gist. Will you kill angels or anyone in Heaven?
He said now that the first prophecy did not fall, He said,” Thank Me for that one before you vomit another one because if you vomit it, I’ll leave it!”.
It was in October last year that I said it and in October this year, we are seeing it. I said, “In October next year, there is still something that He will do but there is something that we will do before He will do something that He will do”- We need to dance! Church Gist. You won’t know that I was the one who finished preaching.
I was in Abraka yesterday evening to preach, as I finished preaching. Ask Pastor Dafin, he was there. He said, every time that you finish preaching, there is something new. He said, “Let them thank me, as you are coming again, you will still be seeing something new”.
If you don’t thank Him for the old, you are not qualified for the new! And if you don’t thank Him for the new, you are not qualified for the newest, latest and the freshest one!
In Abraka, we still danced; you won’t believe that I was the one who finished preaching and prophesying! Your dancing steps don’t have to be good, let your heart be good’.
You don’t need to have Davido’s spirit, just have David’s Spirit! Some of you are trying to dance like Davido, no you don’t need Davido’s spirit, you need the Spirit of David! – The way David danced and praised Him in The Bible, you need that one!
I saw one of Davido’s video, when he entered the Church, when he entered the Church the Church looked like a funeral service, everybody was dancing joyfully but Davido was just quiet. You know why? Church Gist. Them don carry fish commot for water. Fish has left water and water has left the fish. You know why? His own dance na for night club and with ‘craze people’ but your own, when you come in the midst of Christians, you can’t dance, it means that you are not a Christian!
When you are with us and you agree that all of us are the same, you will dance!
You wey no sabi dance for Church, you are the best dancer in all the nightclubs- I will share your video to you, please be careful! You think say, I no dey monitor my members? I dey monitor where you enter! I know where you entered even yesterday and Friday night, including this evening. Church Gist. I know! I can go and wait for you there o. I will say, “Hey, wetin you wan do here? You that cannot dance in Church”. What are you doing here? Go back! Any time that you are conscious of your status while in God’s House, watch! You have become a statue! Something that is on one spot and can’t move! You are just there! Your status includes who you are socially, publicly and your name and position. You will just remain in one spot.
Throw away your title, there is no entitlement with title! Whether you are Elder, Deacon, Bishop, Honourable. Look at it, even politicians who rig elections, they will go and do Thanksgiving! They will go and thank God for the grace to rig the election and for making the rigging work. Church Gist. They bribe lawyers and judges to judge cases in their favour, and as soon as they declare them victorious, they go to do praise and worship.
If a man who God is angry with is praising God, what of you who God is happy with? Why are you running from God? A man who God is angry with is coming to praise God and he is saying, ” Let me make God happy”. Church Gist. If I praise Him, He will change His mind. Prayer does not change God’s mind. In prayer, you must pray according to His Will! But I praise, you just praise Him to change His mind!
In fact prayer can change His will, He might not want to do it but when you praise Him, just give him the head of John the Baptist. In prayer, you just pray according to His Will but in Praises, you just dance and praise Him and He will look at certain of His Will that doesn’t favour you, He will suspend rules and regulations and lift protocols and give you what you are looking for!
-Prayer: This Sunday, as you praise God in this first and second service, May God do for you what you cannot do for yourself!
Now, I will round off with the 8 benefits of Praise and Worship!
1.Praise and Worship Is an atmosphere changer! Church Gist. It changes the climatic condition of a place. When I was teaching and preaching in Ijedun of Friday evening, you could see everybody writing and receiving but when we now switched to seven minutes perfected Praise, people were rolling on the ground- The atmosphere has changed!
Someone turned upside down while dancing. You did it in clubhouses and we do it in Church, everybody has where their own atmosphere is stirred! In Church when we praise God, we drop offerings but you in club houses when you get stored you carry a bottle of one hundred and fifty naira and wash your hand with it while your girlfriend will just be dancing while you pour it in your girlfriend. Church Gist. You mama dey village oo, she no fit chop oo, your papa set trek everywhere oo. Something has suspended your brain and medulla oblongata.
-I pray for you today, anything moving you in a club house that does not move you in Church, may that demon leave you now!
The atmosphere changes in the place of Praise and Worship 2 Chronicles 5:13-14.
- Praise and Worship opens you up to the Will of God 2 Kings 3:15, Psalm 22:3. If in Praise and Worship, the atmosphere does not change, quickly change the Praise and Worship leader! Church Gist. It is not the microphone, instrument and the altar.
Put off all the microphone and give Pastor Eddy the microphone, the atmosphere may not change because he is not anointed for that! But give somebody that is anointed for that, and the oil drops.
The oil does not drop on the altar, the oil drops in the closet.
If you don’t worship God alone, you cannot worship God with people. If alone you don’t do it, if you are to do it openly, you will struggle. So you carry the oil in your secret chamber and then you display it on the open platform!
Elisha said, “Get me a minstrel” 2 Kings 3:15. So don’t be angry when I said somebody should sing for me. The Hand of God is with the prophet of God, but he can not activate it till the minstrel stirs it. Something will touch something in him and he will begin to flow. Church Gist. It is not you that determines the voice that should move God’s Hand on your behalf, it is The Voice that determines the voice!- Not you! You don’t choose!
Everybody can sing, twelve people can sing and three will stir something in me. So if I want to flow, I must hold those three not because I am partial, but there is something about Elisha and that minstrel.
This is so strong that Papa Ibiyeomie, my mentor carries a particular Praise and Worship leader anywhere that he goes to in the world in a private jet. I know that particular face, that person will follow him in America, Jamaica and everywhere. Church Gist. Because anytime he holds the microphone, if he must flow with the healing anointing, he must hear that voice!
Even when that person got married, he still followed. And if he is coming to a place, he will send somebody a train to go and train the choir how to turn this man, otherwise you will waste money and do everything, he didn’t flow! Because the thing that turns him is not there.
Do you have problems hearing the voice of God? Church Gist. Then your Praise and Worship altar is dead! If your antenna is always weak to hear you Father, then your prayer altar is dead! For you to bear God’s voice, it must be in the frequency of Praise and Worship!
Most times, we come to Church and we minister to ourselves but we don’t minister to God Acts 13:2. There are songs that you sing, and you are ministering to us but there are songs that you sing and you are ministering to God. Church Gist. If He is not saying anything, you are not singing anything! If you are not hearing His voice, then you are not a worshipper Isaiah 30-29-30.
-Prayer: Every confusion and everything that represents confusion all in your life dies now!
All these while that you are experiencing confusion, you gossip, talk, backbite and complain too much. Set your heart on the frequency to pick voices.
Any day that I wake up and I don’t do the prayers to start your day at 4 am-4:30 am, then switch to three separate sets of worship downloaded in my phone, one is about four hours, the other is very short just 20 minutes, that is a thanksgiving worship that turns me on, if I need to complain, if I hear those voices, no matter the matter, complain dies immediately.
I see God’s Goodness in those voices and words, and then I switch to another one, appreciating His Presence and Glory in my life and affairs.
Sometimes, I stay with it all through the day and at some point, when I am too sure that the day is well taken care of, I turn it off and switch to Messages. But check your phones, demons, evil, death, pornography, videos and pictures that can kill a generation!
The thing that will make you matter when it matters most, you won’t find it there! But everyone’s matter, you record this one and that one, are you a Journalist? Even Journalists are forgetting to record these days because the one that they recorded, nothing came out. Nothing beneficial to your future is in the phone, everything that you have there is what will kill you!
When the other phone of about 156 gigabytes was filled up, I bought a new one of 256 gigabytes, then immediately I carried four to five Messages of about three to four of my mentors and put into it, I got 230 gigabytes on the spot with about 26 gigabytes left. Church Gist. That is why when you hear me, you want to hear me, because I hear them regularly.
You said that you are a Pastor? And two weeks, ‘you no open bible’? One month, three month, ‘you no hear person preach to you’? Church Gist. You are a passport, they will still use you- they will use you to do something in the coven.
Some Pastors have woken up dead, paralyzed with stroke and some pastors have woken up and something else happened to them because they sleep empty and wake up empty! Because nothing is in them fighting arrows!
Until you have what is written, you will not write off what is happening, the evil happening against you will still be happening! Church Gist. I have one flash disk; everything in this Church for 9 years was on that flash disk, when this Church was without building, when this Church was an ordinary swamp!
Everything that we have done in this Ministry was recorded there, preserving it for the next generation. But anytime that you have a flash disk, there will be adult movies, nonsense, anything that you want to store is what will not help you!
Your phone is the box of destiny! You better know it on time; otherwise you will be the personal problem of your own life! Isaiah 30:29-30. Church Gist. How can somebody press and attack you and you don’t know? How can something evil happen, and there is no prior knowledge or information ahead of time? No! You lack His Voice!
I called a man in Abuja this morning, from here in Warri and said, “Be careful, some people want to kill you, be careful!” He said, “Bishop, Oga, you will not stop to amaze me!” Stop calling me your father, mentor, oga, na you be my father! This person raised me as a Christian in the 1980s, we still relate closely! While that worship on my phone was going on, I just heard it clearly, they want to kill him! See who wants to kill him, call him to be more careful! He said, “You won’t stop to amaze me sir”. Church Gist. He said, “They trailed me to my house yesterday sir, I just thank God that I survived it!”
Was I with Him in Abuja?
A song was in the background and a Voice came! Church Gist. If you are here and one day passed and you and God no talk, Go and repent because you have backslidden! You have missed it! Go and repent! Church Gist. Every problem that you have in this life is traceable to His voice that you missed!
- Praise and Worship is a level-changer Habakkuk 3:18-19. When you give him that level of praise, He changes your level!
-Prayer: I pray for you today, may your level change!
- Praise and Worship removes obstacles and barriers Joshua 6:20.
-Prayer: May everything standing as a barrier in your life, fall down!
Obstacles and barriers are crushed in the place of Praise and Worship! It will make a way where there seems to be no way.
- Praise and Worship releases the Spirit of acceptance and favour Acts 2:47. To labour in praise is to find your way into the realms of favour. To be lost in Praise is to be found among the favored. Church Gist You can’t live in Praise and be rejected!
I took Bishop Ogenetete and his personal assistant for lunch two Sundays ago, and everything that we ate was fifty-three thousand naira, and I had too many projects at that moment and God knew that money was meaningful to me, and God said, “My son, No! You worship me, you live in Praise, you hardly complain, nothing has ever made you complain”. And then He spoke to a man and said, “Go, and pay the bills”.
Somebody came to me and said, “Bishop, that man has cleared the bill”. I don’t know him nor his name till today, I have never pastored him! You know why you are not favoured? You have never seen any reason to praise and worship Him! When you worship Him, your war becomes cheap! If you praise Him, He will raise You!
Acceptance and favour is provoked by Praise!
As far as your Praise and Worship is dead, your favour encounter will be suspended! Church Gist. Show me a favored person and I will show you someone who is lost in Praise!
- Praise and Worship brings life to dead situations and dead cases. Church Gist. Dead womb, marriages, finances and everything that is dead around! In the place of Praise and Worship, it will come alive. Your dead Lazarus John 11:42. Before He said, “Lazarus come forth!” He said, “Father, I thank Thee that You hear me always”. If you don’t thank Him for your dead Lazarus, you cannot command your dead Lazarus to come back alive!
Abraham and Sarah were not even moved by the deadness of Sarah’s womb- They gave God Glory and Praise!
Romans 4:9-20. And God said, “What! You are praising me with a dead womb and organ? I will ensure that Isaac must come! Church Gist. Ishmael did not come through Sarah’s womb.
-Prayer: The one that they will call your own must come, you won’t adopt! The womb must work!
If you can praise Him with barrenness, He will convert your barrenness to fruitfulness! Praise Him when there is no child! I told someone who came for our anniversary; our 9 years anniversary is next week! Church Gist. I told somebody who came last year, and I said, “ I guess that you still don’t have a child with your wife”. And he said “Yes sir, we are still believing in God for a child”. I said your Pastor and your Church is very powerful, it is one of the strongest Churches in Nigeria, I said, “Your problem is not Church nor Pastor, God said that I should tell you, don’t pray again, just be giving Him Praise!” exactly twelve months ago, they have a child now!
As soon as he started it, the wife took in- Exactly nine months, she delivered! She could have still been doing, “Lord, where are you?” and God will say, “Where are you?” “Are you in Church?” because I’m in Heaven, I have not moved, I have not changed! He can say, “I did not move, I am God today, yesterday and forever!” na where you leave me, I dey! Anytime that you want to ask God in prayers, “Lord, where are You?” simply ask yourself, “Where am I?”
‘Na you move’! He doesn’t move, He stays where He is! Church Gist. And then He switched. And said, “Thank You Sir”, I said, “You have sown, prayed and have done everything, now water it with Praise!
- Praise and Worship activates Supernatural Supplies and Provision John 6:11, Psalm 67:5-7. Praise and Worship will turn scarcity to plenty! To give plenty Praise is to enjoy plenty in the midst of poverty for the rest of your life. I have never seen anyone who is given to Praise and Worship that his pocket and purse is ever empty! Before the thing finishes, He will just supply!
The thing remained 2 fishes and 5 loaves and He said, “Thank You Father, I praise Your Name for where I am now, Thank You Father!” He said, “Eh! Give Him twelve baskets left over!”
- Praise and Worship will make God take your place in battle for you to enjoy cheap victories 2 Chronicles 20:17-22. We may not have the time to practicalise it in this first service, all of the second service worshippers, all of you who even came after. Church Gist. Look at me! Let me tell you one of the reasons why Answers Assembly has not worked for you, you always work into Answers Assembly when they have finished praising God!
And when they want to praise Him in the next service, you walk out! So in the two services, you don’t praise God!
Tell me how a human being will say God who created you, on a Sunday morning- where the whole world is praising Him, you didn’t praise Him! Pray! Church Gist. God can pray! Jesus seats in Heaven, making intercessions for the saints!
Give an offering!
No matter how much offering that you give, it does not move God! Give offering, seed and sacrifice, the silver and gold belong to God! Church Gist. Cattle on a thousand hills belong to God, what will you have to pay that God does not have!
Na money, na gold na silver? Na prayer? I pray pass you! Na cloth? He clothes the whole world!
What do you have? The only thing that you have that He does not have is Praise and Worship!
He can’t Praise any person, who will God praise and worship? He is the beginning of praise and worship! So any person who denies Him what He cannot give to Himself, He will deny you what you need for yourself! Anytime that you fight and fight! Watch, you are not a ‘praiser’, not a worshipper! 2 Chronicle 20:17-22.
In praise, you step out and your Father steps in! He said, “Fear not!” That demonic girl that have vowed to kill you and your husband, that witch, that wizard, that powers from your father’s house that has vowed to kill you! Church Gist. 2 Chronicles 20:17-18. When was the last time you bow before God?
You come to Church and you want everybody to bow to you! When was the last time you said, “God, I am in Your Presence!” Praise makes your war cheap! Praise makes your enemies pick a race! 2 Chronicle 20:22.
When I say, “Give Him thanks, believe in me and give Him thanks!”
-Prayer: May God bring down your enemies after now!
So, you can’t be fighting and God will be fighting at the same time! For God to fight, somebody will stop fighting! You step aside and then God steps in! Exodus 14:13-14. The Lord will fight for you in praise and worship!
They are fighting your wedding, settlement, land, property, building, International trip and next level- Step aside and the Lord will fight for you!
In the second service, we are going to enter practically into twenty-two minutes praise for the 2022 delivery to answer. Church Gist. The year 2022 has two months remaining; we are giving in twenty-two minutes praise- The Message of the second service! I’ll just give you a three minutes charge and then, you will enter into the praise proper.
-Prayer: this year 2022 will not end until something that is significant and evidential manifests in your life!
Papa, I’m leaving this service as I finish this service, if na your car you wan do your own, do am! Put the music there! If na your house? Do am, but for every person that is my son and daughter, if you don’t give Him praise, you will end this year stranded and empty handed!
When they say, “Believe in the Lord, your God and you will be established, it is not all about money!”- It is a covenant instruction for the defeat of your enemy! Church Gist. You shall prosper in the defeat of your enemies and anything defeating you!
-Prayer: Lord, wear me the garment of Praise and Worship! I curse the spirit of heaviness, complaining and murmuring!
-Show me Your Mercy over every area of my life that I have ever complained!
-Father blind my eyes to the things that You have not done and open my eyes to the things that You have done!
Do you know the number of Pastors that have died in Warri during this Coro period. In Visa, membership, holiness, righteousness, property and fame, I no near them! But, I’m still alive to enjoy my life! They died and left everything!
To have bread and breath! – Which one did you prefer!
Some of you have chosen bread instead of breath, if you like have a bakery, without breath, you cannot operate the bakery! Without breath, they will put the bread in your grave as a flower. Church Gist. They will say, “He liked bread when he was alive!”
One of my daughters said,”Papa, the doctor said that I will die”. I said, ” My daughter, you won’t die!” On the table is all kinds of bread, meat-pie and gala. Church Gist. And why the doctor said that she will die is because she dey chop too much!
So people are very ‘Kpelenge’ and tiny and they have died but you are very ‘Orobocious’ and you are still alive. Celebrate God!
That your big belle is a blessing! Some girls say, ‘flat tummy’! And they put them inside a flat casket!
That your big breast, go and give a testimony, some are taking drugs for their own to come out! Your own came out free of charge! That’s a free feeding bottle and pillowcase for your husband to be! Celebrate God!
Anything happening to you, take am give thanks! Papa, they are laughing at me that I don’t have big ‘nyash’ like Warri girls. Church Gist. Rejoice! God has removed the burden from your life! Some people when they get to 60 years old, their legs cannot carry their ‘nyash’- Most of them end up in wheelchairs!
So God knows that you don’t need a wheelchair and He wipe am commot, make you dey waka well. Anything wey them wan take depress you, take am crack joke! They said your husband no get money, say, “I like am like that!” If my husband get too much money, ’em go get too much girlfriends’! The small one we get, we dey manage am, he is a faithful man.
Bishop, they said this person left your Church. I will say, “God took away the ‘craze’ and left me with the disciples! Church Gist. Na disciples I dey pastor now! I cannot come and be depressed that this one and that one left. No way! I enjoy Church now more than when I dey pastor those craze!
Under the craze, I sold a bungalow! Under the disciples, I built a duplex! I went to my daughter’s school, I saw her face when they gave her results, and she was crying. I asked what happened, ” She said, they said that I failed”. I said, “Come and hug me!
Your papa get money to pay school fees, some passed, they no get money to collect results or paid school fees.”
I preferred paying your school fees. Enter the house! Next time, you will pass! Church Gist. I didn’t beat her, some of you would have done to play oracle! To check who is behind your children’s progress! The small money you get, them go collect am!
Never allow anybody to use your problem to turn to a business! Turn your
problem into celebration!
The Lord bless you!
Congratulations!
Everything has a reason. They say, “You no marry, say, ‘I like am like that. If I don marry, I for don kill one man because I get anger, God wants to remove it from me! And when He finishes removing the anger, He will give me my husband, I’m not behind time! Church Gist. Unless you want to be killed by a sniper!
-Prayer: You won’t fall into their hands!
