CLAIMING THAT HE’S NOT COMING TO CHURCH BECAUSE OF CORO;

THE PROBLEM IS NOT CORO, THE PROBLEM IS YOU.

GOD IS THE GIVER OF DREAMS

BECAUSE DREAMS THAT COME FROM GOD ARE ALWAYS BEYOND OUR ABILITY TO FULFIL THEM.

IF GOD GIVES YOU A DREAM NO MATTER HOW HARD THE ENEMIES MAY TRY, YOU WON’T DIE UNTIL THE DREAMS ARE FULFILLED.

IF IT’S A HUMAN BEING OR GROUP OF HUMAN BEINGS THAT HAVE PROMOTED YOU, THE SAME PEOPLE WILL BRING YOU DOWN.

FOR THE FIRST 18 YEARS OF MY LIFE, I HAD NO PAIRS OF SHOES

WHEN GOD IS ANGRY ANYTHING CAN HAPPEN

His mercy endures forever, praise him, thank you Father, glory be to your holy name, in Jesus’ mighty name we have prayed.

Let us pray for all fathers, particularly our traditional rulers, let us pray that the almighty God will continually guide them, that He will always be there to protect them, that in their various Kingdom there would be peace, joy and progress. For in Jesus’ mighty name, we have prayed.

Pray for all fathers, all the head of families, because if all is well with the head, all will be well with the body, pray that all fathers will have everything it takes to be good heads, that in all our families, there will be no problem, there will be sufficiency, there will be Joy, there will be peace and harmony.

Lord now thank you for May, accept our thanks in Jesus’ name.

Don’t let them fail you, we pray also for the father’s to be, the young ones, those that are yet to be married, those who are already married and are expecting that one day they will become fathers, please lord let it be well with them, grant their desires.

We pray for mothers and mother’s to be, without mothers there will be no fathers, let it be well with our mothers, let it be well with our aunties, let it be well with our sisters, let it be well with all mothers to be and today I cry unto you once again let it be well with Nigeria and those who have been faithful in the payment of their tithes and the giving of their offerings in this month of may be gracious unto them, surprise them, bless them beyond measures, until they say God this is becoming too much, just keep on blessing them. Today as your word will be going out, let your Word bring healing to us, let our tomorrow be alright, in Jesus mighty name we have prayed.

Let someone shout Hallelujah!

I want to especially salute all our traditional rulers who are here today, God will bless you mightily, every infiltrator in your Kingdom, every plant God has not planted in your Kingdom shall be uprooted this month. Anything that is in any way hindering progress in your Kingdom will disappear this month, your tomorrow will be alright, you will live long, you will reign long. ChurchGist. I want to say one of two things to you before we go into the sermon.
This is about you, so don’t think I am going to talk about anything else, it’s about you, I have just returned from Europe, we had our European Convention and people came from more than forty European Nation, it was very successful and they said I should greet you, since you’re the mother. But I discovered something there, I discovered that in all the Churches where I ministered, the Churches were packed, we were all there and you know what, I am not sure I even saw two people wearing mask, what does that tells you, they’ve made up their mind, if God has kept us thus far, he will keep us till the end and then I read in the newspaper, not too long ago, some days ago that the number of people who died of malaria in Nigeria in 2021 is about 200,000. Now, the number of people who died from Coro in 2021 is less than 2,000. So, which one is more deadly? Coro or Malaria.

I have been telling you since 2020 that God assured me when I cry to him, son I have heard your cry only those whose time has come will die. ChurchGist. How many of you will remember that I told you that? If malaria is killing 200,000 and Coro has not been able to kill 2,000, I think malaria is more deadly than coro, do you agree with that?

Now the elders (thank God our elders are here, the traditional rulers) have a say, they say that a dirty woman uses the death of her husband as an excuse for not taking her birth, have you heard that one before? She said since my husband died a month ago, I have not taken my bath. It’s not the death of your husband, it’s you. ChurchGist. Anyone who is still sitting at home on Sunday, claiming that he’s not coming to Church because of Coro, the problem is not Coro, the problem is you. Can you say amen to that?

If you are old or you have problems with movement I can understand, but any young person, still staying away from the gathering of the children of God because of whatever excuse he or she has, he’s disobeying direct instruction from God that says you just not abandon the gathering together of one another, it’s God who said so, you must gather together as brothers.

David said I was glad when they said unto me, let’s go to the House of the Lord, he didn’t say I was afraid, he said I was glad. So, all of you young ones, sitting down at home, watching me now on television, the next time you may have to answer to God and you know my definition of young ones, any one older than myself is old, anyone younger than me is young. I am only 80 years old. So, how many young people are here in this service? Let the young one’s shout hallelujah! And let the old ones say amen!

Glory be to God!

So, the next time children of God are gathering together come, if you want to wear your mask, fine! If you have, it’s just that people told me not to be saying it, God told me right from the beginning, son, Coro will subside but it’s not going away. That’s what God told me, Malaria has been around for how many years, ebola came, but it subsided, has it gone away? No! Some of us don’t even want to hear about coro anymore. If God has kept us thus far, he will keep us till the end, safety is of the Lord, I have told you to be careful, you know how much I love hygiene, how particular I am about sanitation. Be careful! Learn from all the lessons, you know, washing your hands and all. But stop fearing the devil, if you believe your tomorrow will be alright shout Hallelujah. If you believe you’re not going to die before your time.

Shout hallelujah!

We want to talk about “SUPERNATURAL ELEVATION” that is the topic they gave me today. When they gave me the topic I said: This is a big grammar, supernatural elevation, so I had to break it down, so that market women can understand.

What is Elevation?

Elevation simply means movement to a higher level, the grammar may seem big, but all its saying is movement to a higher level. Psalm 121:1-2. John 12:32. Elevation is the movement to a higher level and as the almighty God lives, this month you’re moving to a higher level.

Then comes the word supernatural; supernatural is easy to understand if you break it into two, super and natural. It’s simply saying something that is superior to the natural. ChurchGist. In other words, there is the natural and that which is superior to the natural. For example, Isaiah 40:28-31 tells us that there is a God who never sleeps nor slumber, who never grows tired and then he said there are some young men, who are strong. They wake up in the morning full of strength, he said but they will get tired, they will become weary, why? Because they are natural. Then He said if the natural hooks up with the supernatural, then the natural will be able to do what ordinary people cannot do.

Supernatural is that which enables the natural, the ordinary to do that which cannot be done by ordinary men. Judges 15:14-15. They brought Samson to the Philistines and as the Philistines tied Samson, the Supernatural came upon Samson and all the ropes binding him broke as if they were touched by fire and all your yokes will be burnt this morning and then he took the Jawbone of an ass, the jawbone of a dead animal and that vessel became a weapon of mass destruction, with that he was able to kill a thousand people, why? He became connected to the supernatural. Judges 16:4-6. After he married Delilah; Delilah asked him a question, what is the source of this incredible strength of yours? What we are seeing in you is not natural. ChurchGist. The ability to do what is far beyond human strength receive it today in Jesus’ name. Now, when we talk about the supernatural, that which is beyond the natural, you will find that it’s in two categories, there is the divine one, that means it comes from God. Psalm 62:11. Power that comes from God.

But it is written in the Bible in Ephesians 2:2, there is another kind of supernatural, the one that comes from the devil. The devil is the prince of the power of the air. He calls his own spirit, the spirit that works in the children of disobedience. ChurchGist. There is evil power just as there is good power. The good news however is that power passes power. The power of the almighty God is superior to any power that the devil may say he has. Philippians 2:9-11. So, if there is any evil power, it doesn’t matter how many they are, in the name of Jesus Christ they will know today. Some of you will remember (at least those of you who are old) a man who came here with his wife, the man was complaining that he was not making any progress, all things were hard and so on and we prayed, both husband and wife came to the Church for about 2 weeks and then we were seeing the brother alone, the sister wasn’t coming anymore. So, we followed up, sister, what happened? We are not seeing you in Church anymore.

She said from the day I started attending your Church I couldn’t fly again. What do you want to do with the power that gives you the ability to fly at night? She said that’s what I use to control my husband. ChurchGist. I will tell him to drive me to my boyfriend’s house, I will tell him to sit in the car while I go upstairs, I will be with my boyfriend for as long as I like, he will be in the car waiting and when I come back, he dare not say anything. If there is any evil power controlling you, in the name that is above every other name, I cancel that power now.

So, when you now combine the two, supernatural elevation, it simply means reaching a height that you cannot reach by natural means, supernatural elevation, the power that is beyond natural power moving you to a new height, thank God you’re in Church today. In the name that is above every other name, your promotion begins. ChurchGist. Whether your enemies like it or not your promotion begins.

I will just give you two examples very quickly and then we will pray.

1) JOSEPH

Joseph as a young boy had a dream, in fact set of dreams. Genesis 37:1-11. In the first dream he said his brothers were bowing down to him, the brothers said what are you saying, you’re going to be superior to us, they said we shall see. ChurchGist. In the second dream, he even said that the moon and the stars were bowing down to him, they said now we know that you’re crazy. God is the giver of dreams and there are many of you who had some very great dreams, dreams of becoming very great and up to this moment the dreams are not yet fulfilled. I have good news for you this morning, the fulfilment of your dreams begins now.

Just in case you don’t know what a dream from God looks like, any time you tell people what God has put in your heart, what you’re likely to become, when they hear you, they will laugh because dreams that come from God are always beyond our ability to fulfil them. When I was praying to the almighty God, I was living in 1 room in mushin, Father, build me even a boy’s quarter. I was coming from the University, I was living in a mansion in Ilorin, my boy’s quarter has 4 bedrooms, then I had to come as the General Overseer and I was living in a room in mushin, God even if it’s a boy’s quarter, God said son don’t ask me for a house, I have decided to build you a city, everybody who heard me then, they laughed, they are not laughing anymore. ChurchGist. All those who are laughing at you will one day be laughing with you. So, Joseph had these serious dreams, you know the story of Joseph, so I won’t waste too much time on that.

One day his father sent him to go and see how his brothers are doing. The brothers saw him coming and they said Hey! Here comes the dreamer, let’s kill him and let us see what will become of his dream. They wanted to kill him, but if God gives you a dream no matter how hard the enemies may try, you won’t die until the dreams are fulfilled. That is why I can decree to you, none of you will die before your time. ChurchGist. Somebody spoke because God entered into that one (Hey! Speak) he said what are we going to gain by killing him, let sell him at least we will make some money out of it and they threw him in a pit and God saw to it that the pit was dry, I can’t tell you how many times I have had encounters with death but I am still here and you too, you will live long.

They sold him to Egypt and they were happy that they got rid of him, he wants to be ruler over, we will see. You know the rest of the story, he got to Egypt, somebody bought and God began to prosper him, the man handed over his entire household to him, a slave because God was working behind the scene. But as he was getting comfortable there, God who knows that this is not where your dreams will be fulfilled saw to it that he was thrown to prison, while he was in prison, he met two people from the palace, they had dreams. ChurchGist. God gave them dreams that they could not understand, Joseph interpreted the dreams, the interpretation is that one will die and the other will continue to serve in the palace, he told the one who will serve in the palace, don’t forget me o, as soon as that one got to the palace he forgot. Everyone you have been good to who has forgotten you, this month they will remember you.

You know the rest of the story, when the day came for God to fulfil the dream, the King himself had two terrifying dreams that nobody could interpret and then the one who had forgotten Joseph remembered and then they brought Joseph and he interpreted the dreams and the next thing you’ll know, within a day the prisoner became the prime minister of the strongest Nation in the world, that is supernatural elevation. ChurchGist. A height beyond your wisest imagination, that you can’t possibly reach, using your ability, my God will take you there, each time I study the story of Joseph I always smile, because within a day Joseph was promoted from a prisoner to becoming the second in command in the whole Egypt, I was wondering because Pharaoh commanded that from this moment onward, everybody must bow to Joseph, if I were Joseph, I think I would have visited Potiphar’s house and call out his wife.

Hello Mrs. Potiphar and of course because Pharaoh has given instruction Mrs. Potiphar must have been on her knees, all those who said you won’t reach your goals are coming to bow down to you.

2) DAVID.

You know his story. The day God decided He wanted a new king and he sent the Prophet to the house of Jesse to go and anoint a King for Him there. ChurchGist. You know the father of David didn’t even bring him before the prophet, even the father thought that this boy can never become anything. But God surprised even the father. I decree in the name that is above every other name, I say anyone who will stand in the way of your progress, God will surprise the fellow. 1st Kings 16:1-13. The boy woke up a shepherd boy, the man of God asked where are you sons? The father quickly sent us numbers 1,2,3… God kept on saying No! No! Not this one, number 7, No! And Jesse sat down and said man of God try again and the man of God said wait a minute I know the God I serve, are these all your sons? Well, there remains another one, he can’t be the King, the man of God said, we won’t sit down until you bring him. I don’t know why I am saying what I am saying today, but I believe God is prophesying to someone, all those who will hinder your progress, they won’t be able to rest.

So, they brought David, he was a shepherd boy, how can a shepherd boy become the King? The supernatural. Whenever you hear the almighty God telling you great things and you begin to wonder, how can this be? Put in the supernatural, put God in your calculations. ChurchGist. When God decides to promote you, he promotes you steadily, permanently. I have said it before, if it’s a human being or group of human beings that have promoted you, the same people will bring you down. Study history. If human beings are the people who combine together to promote you, I have given you these illustrations before. This is my Tambourine, how far I can raise the tambourine is determined by how tall I am. If I want it to go higher, I can go on my toes. After some time, my toes will begin to pain me, So I’ll come down and as I come down the tambourine will come down, after some time my hand will be aching. So, the tambourine will come down. But when God is the one promoting you, the Bible says His hands are everlasting arms. When God is the one promoting you, he promotes you everlastingly. ChurchGist. Your promotion is not going to end.

Some years ago, I visited an African country and I wanted to pay a courtesy call on the president and they said he has heard about you, he wants you to come but you must know he’s a busy man, maximum 15 minutes. I said that’s alright. I just want to say your majesty, your excellency, I can=me to your town, my Church and I’ve come to pray for you, in 15 minutes I will be out. He kept me for hours, when I said sir, your children are waiting outside. ChurchGist. He said let them wait, they have somebody they can talk to, I don’t have. I have heard about you and I don’t know when next you will come here, so he began to tell me all his problems and you know (the elders will tell you that) the bigger the head, the bigger the headache, if you don’t know the meaning of that, ask the elders, they are in Church today, they will explain that to you. The bigger you are the bigger your problems, he began to talk asking for counsel upon counsel. You’re asking what he said? That’s none of your business, I didn’t go back to his country just like he predicted until about 10 years later and you know this time around, by the time I arrived at the airport, it was his wife who came to receive me and I was riding in the car of the Head of States and I am telling you cars differs from cars. As my wife and I were riding in this mighty car, we looked at ourselves, only God can promote, he will promote you.

Now, let me begin to round up because the text I read said to you that promotion comes from God. When he promotes, he promotes everlastingly, he promotes permanently, but then you look at the two stories that I mentioned, when he was given an opportunity to sin. ChurchGist. He refused, when the wife of Potiphar said to him: I am the lady of the house, you’re a handsome young man, come and lie with me, the boy said I can’t do this, the lady of the house said nobody will know, I’m here, my husband is nothing, anything goes.

Joseph said: it’s not your husband that I’m worried about, it’s God, how can I do this thing and sin against God, how can I sin against the promoter, how can I sin against the one who can fulfil my dreams, it’s the one who gave the dream that can bring it to pass, the Bible says 1st Samuel 2:7-8. God can raise up one and bring down another. ChurchGist. When God is angry anything can happen, he was angry with Nebuchadnezzar; Nebuchadnezzar woke up in the morning a King he slept an animal for 7 years. God wanted to show him that He’s the original majesty. After 7 years, that fellow became sober and God said alright I will restore you, in an age where kings fought Kings over Kingdom, God made sure that nobody touched the kingdom of Nebuchadnezzar for 7 years, he put his leg on the Kingdom and said nobody must touch this. ChurchGist. This boy has offended me, I am teaching him a lesson, as soon as it is over, I will restore.

You must avoid sinning against the most high, then your promotion will be permanent. In the case of David, how come God picked up a shepherd boy and turn him to a King and even promised him, he said your Kingdom will be forever. ChurchGist. Bartimaeus saw that Jesus was passing by, what did he say? Jesus thou son of David. The shepherd boy became the great, great, great, great, great grandfather of Jesus Christ himself. So, the kingdom of David is still continuing, but what is it that God said about David in Acts 13:20 to the end. God said I have found a man who will do all my will, I have found a boy in the bush, who is already singing my praise, that boy who is already saying, I will bless the Lord at all times, his praise shall continually be in my mouth.

God said go and get that boy. Are you ready to do God’s will all the days of your life? It doesn’t matter where you’re hiding, he will bring you into the open and the sun of somebody is about to rise and when your sun rises God can see to it that it never sets. ChurchGist. But it’s up to you, will you surrender to him? Will you make sure you don’t sin against him? Will you be willing to do all his will? The choice is yours, when he picks anybody. 1st Samuel 2:8. He said he can pick a bigger from the dunghill and cause him to sit among princes, that’s what my God can do.

I will tell you one little story and then we will close, so that I can use myself as an example to you. ChurchGist. I have told you; my father was so poor that poor people called him poor, the day himself and his colleagues were clearing the family compound, years ago and they began to talk, one said in future when I grow up, I will build my house here another one I will build my own next to you, my father said I will build my house, every one of them said shut up, everybody is talking about building, you’re talking of building. For the first 18 years of my life, I had no pairs of shoes, look at me today, supernatural elevation and until you surrender completely to God, until you make up your mind, I won’t offend him, I will do his will, the elevation will not start, if it has started, it will stop, but he wants you to keep rising, as long as you will surrender to him and do his will.

Prayer: Father, this first day of May, 2022, let my star begin to shine.
