- No one can declare himself, only God declares people.
- Every manifestation is a product of God’s declaration.
- There are too many things to thank God for.
- We can’t count everything, but we will not pretend not to know what we are counting.
- The month of May is loaded, for us as a Commission.
- The month of May will deliver in your life this month.
Thanksgiving is a debt we owe God that must be paid.
2 Thessalonians 1:3 – “we are bound”
It is a covenant responsibility to give thanks. Our destiny is tied to intense thanksgiving, both in all things and for all things (Ephesians 5:20).
In all things connote in season and out of season. If anything didn’t come out the way you wanted, now imagine what would have been without God.
You lost one thing, He told me several years ago, “I am the reason why you have not lost everything. If you have lost one thing, I’m the reason why you have not lost everything.”
For all things: were not 10 cleansed, where were the 9?
So every act of God must be responded to with thanksgiving. Lazarus was still stinking, Jesus said, “Father, I thank You” (John 11:44). In all things and thanksgiving brought him out. We owe God thanks.
2 Thessalonians 2:13
“but we are bound to give thanks always to God”- particularly now that we are counting and recounting our blessings over the past 40 years, we must respond with genuine and intense thanksgiving to keep God at work in our midst.
He sent His Word, and healed them, and delivered them from their destructions (Psalm 107:20)
The Word that heals is the one He sent, the Word that delivers is as sent by Him. He sends the Word and confirms the Word. So what have you done? Microphone, mere microphone. I know a number of people will say, “some virtue left them.” Virtue has never left me in my life. By His grace, I have seen Him raise the dead, I didn’t feel any virtue left me in my life. I have left some of those places before the dead rose up, so I didn’t invoke their rising. I simply declared the Word that He sent and He goes to confirm the Word that He sent. This microphone will never be qualified for thanks, there is nothing it is doing than picking the voice sent to it and transmitting it. That’s been our story. Everything works here because God is working it and He neither sleep nor slumber;
-From this time on as you step into your Promised Land, everything around you, your life, your family, your business, your career will keep working.
God only works marvels. He is our extraordinary God, He does only extraordinary things. When God is at work, extraordinary things are the natural evidence. This is the doing of the Lord and it is marvellous in our eyes (Psalm 118:23). Marvels have never ceased here because marvellous God is ever at work and one way to keep Him there is to keep responding with genuine thanksgiving to God, in all things and for all things (Ephesians 5:20).
We have never lacked testimonies here. Mind boggling testimonies, ear tingling testimonies, over and again forever. The Lord thy God in the midst of thee is the reason for all of this. Glorious in holiness, fearful in praises, always doing wonders and He inhabits only the praise of His people (Exodus 15:11, Psalm 22:3). What we are doing now is to register our commitment to keep His presence by giving Him intense thanksgiving.
The Hour has come: we will be 40 years exactly tomorrow Amen.
To liberate the world: so He goes all the way to India to liberate, all the way to Japan to liberate, all across America to liberate, all across Europe to liberate.
From all oppressions of the devil: we are in this small room today, maybe 140 Nations are hooked on to this, on their own, all over. Shiloh has registered 177 Nations at a time, hooked on to live Services here.
To liberate the world!
Somebody lost 18 Kg in 3 days: liberated, given a brand-new heart.
To liberate the world.
Somebody was dying of cancer, full blown blood cancer. Hooked on to the Service, in the hospital: wiped off.
To liberate the world.
All the way from America. To liberate the world from all…
So He has been validating and revalidating. You know the reason why we have been thanking and thanking and tirelessly thanking and thanking continuously, thanking ‘alwaysly’, thanking forever; that’s how to keep Him on duty.
-The good news is, you will never lack God’s presence anymore from this time onward.
This is vital. Whatever speaks with His mouth, only His hand has capacity to deliver it. Only His hand has capacity to deliver His agenda!! Only His hand and one way to keep His hand on your life, on my life, on this Church is to keep thanking Him.
We are giving Him that this morning in high powered dance. The dance you’ll know that you have danced when you finish dancing. Not the dance that you are not sure whether you danced or not. Praise God. You can’t play a final match in a football pitch without knowing, your leg will be speaking as you are going home. As you are driving, you will find out that your leg is still dancing because you have given Him the dance.
“Let them praise Him in the dance”
The dance that is acceptable to God, dancing with all your might after the order of David. He danced his way into God’s heart.
-Many will do that this morning in the name of Jesus Christ.
Too many things to thank God for.
We have experienced ever increasing global impact. Everything about this Commission finds its way into Nations. A number of our books have been translated into Chinese language. They sent one again this last week, a new one translated. No arrangement. Just spreading. We got into one place, Indonesia, some of our books were translated into Indonesian language, no pressure.
Ever increasing global impact by the hand of God, don’t forget to put that there: By the hand of God.
No one can declare himself, only God declares people. Christ was declared to be the Son of God by God, “this is my beloved Son”
You can’t declare yourself. You can’t go for an election and declare yourself winner. No the authority has to declare you are the winner. Every manifestation is a product of God’s declaration, “I sent him. That’s what I sent him to do. That’s my assignment for them.”
-No one here will miss God.
We have enjoyed supernatural supplies and that is known globally all the way.
Deuteronomy 15:6
That was our launch into the world of lending to Nations. We have never had a Mission to any Nation with resources from anywhere else but from here (Canaanland).
We have never lacked, 40 years.
We have never begged, 40 years.
We have never borrowed, 40 years.
We are owing no man or bank, living or dead.
For the silver is mine and the gold is mine saith the Lord (Haggai 2:8).
For continuous supplies, amazing supplies, humbling supplies over the years. Church Gist. We are not debt free, we have never been indebted. Immune to indebtedness.
-Every burden of indebtedness will be wiped off in this feast like a dream of the night.
Every bondage and pains and aches that indebtedness has brought your way, God will have mercy and wipe it off you.
What a wonderful God we serve.
40 years of peace and serenity.
40 years of no council meeting to solve problems.
40 crisis free years.
Only God.
At 4, we had peace. With 10 members, peace. We became a hundred, joy.
A thousand: peace.
10,000, like 10 people: peace.
100,000; like nobody came: peace.
200,000: peace. What more!
With 1 congregation: peace.
With over 22,000 congregations: peace.
There was no arithmetic, there is no mathematics that can solve that. Peace at 100 should be less peace at 1000; they call it human problem. We don’t have it!
-From this prophetic feast onward, your life will never run peace dry again.
-No tension will survive in your life anymore.
Why? Great peace have they whose mind is stayed on thee and nothing shall offend them (Psalm 119:165). They are just overwhelmed with revelation, light just oozing forth from you and darkness keeping away from your territory.
Psalm 119:165
Great peace that comes only from God, my peace, my own kind, I give unto you, not as the world gives, give I unto thee (John 14:27). It will keep your heart from being troubled, it will keep you far from fear. My peace is fear free. My peace is turbulence free. It’s the kind of peace that keeps you at peace in the midst of the storms.
40 years of crisis free experience by His peace. His peace dominating our environment.
He said, “sing ye praises with understanding” (Psalm 47:7). We are not singing for the fun of singing, ‘it is anniversary.’ We are singing because we have an understanding of what we are celebrating God for. We can’t count everything, but we will not pretend not to know what we are counting. There are some places where they are just 100, the battle there is like Iraq battle, full blown war. I’ve heard a Pastor fighting on the pulpit, literal.
What shall we say about protection and preservation? All kinds. During the construction, somebody here had electric shock right there on top of the truces, in the Faith Tabernacle and the shock took him off from the truce to crash him on the floor. No, it brought him back to the truce and stabilized him, like a film; he sat down there and just continued the welding. He just enjoyed the flight.
There was an accident during the construction of Camp House and the young man lying under the fall just stepped out when ‘waoh’, it came down. All kinds of escape, by the hand of God. We owe God thanks.
I’ve escaped death, literal deaths, direct confrontation several times. I stopped counting when I was 50. I said, “I won’t count anymore, let the devil be counting his losses.”
We owe God thanks.
Thank God for His manifest presence in the midst of His people over the years. Give God thanks. We can’t thank Him too much, we can only thank Him some more. As you are doing that, the spirit of thanksgiving is entering into you right now.
Thank You Lord, in Jesus precious name we have given thanks.
Somebody said, “I saw joy here, I know this is where I belong.”
-The Joy of the Lord that reigns and rules in this Commission must return as your portion.
On the 24th of August 1986, Bible School was going to start September 1 and my wife out of concern that morning said, “Ehh students are going to resume on the 1st (September), where are they going to resume to?”
I said: Is it your school? The owner of the School should know where they will resume to. I don’t bother myself for God. He’s to take care of me, I am not to take care of Him. Praise God. Immediately I said those words, He opened my eyes and I saw a building; He said, “that’s where the Bible School would be.”
When I am talking about supernatural supply, we are not guessing. I got to the office, I said, “Hey Jonathan, get up. There is a particular building facing one particular Church.” I knew that Church.
He said: That’s Katsina road
I said: That opposite building, that’s where the Bible School will be
He said: Ahhh, have you met the owner.
No, he didn’t ask me but I am sure he must be wondering how did I come to conclude that’s where the Bible School would be because we left here on Friday, there was no idea of where Bible School would be.
He got there and met the man in front, early in the morning.
He said: Barka da (greeting in Hausa). Are you the owner of this building?
Is that the question to ask? Must the owner stand by it as if you are selling bread?
He said: Jesus is the Owner, I am the caretaker.
What! We need it for Bible School.
Response: Bible School? Then it is free.
That’s what they call supernatural supplies. It’s free; gave us 2 floors of that storey building for free until we were going to leave. Nobody asked us, “when are you leaving? We left when we were through after 3 years.
That’s the kind of God we serve, that’s why we owe Him thanks. He has gone before us at all times. Ahh too much!!
No one can stop the way against Him. Church Gist. Too much.
Are you ready to praise Him? Let’s celebrate Jesus with everything inside us.
Numbers 10:10
He said, in the beginning of your month, you will blow your trumpet over your offerings and your burnt sacrifices. It’s a commandment. In case you came along with your Covenant Day of Trumpet seed, bring it up, as we praise Him, as we begin to praise Him, you drop your seed as we celebrate God in high praises. Hallelujah. Thank You Jesus.
…Lift up your seed everyone and thank God for another month. Thank God for another month! Thank Him for keeping you alive and well up till now.
Thank Him for strength and vigour you have enjoyed. Thank Him for the covering over your family, the covering over your children, covering over your work. Give Him thanks and praise and glory and honour. You are obeying God by bringing up your seed on this first day, our Covenant Day of Trumpet and blowing your trumpet over your seed. Celebrate God and magnify Him. We give you thanks Lord, in Jesus precious name we have given thanks.
This seed is declared acceptable.
-This prophetic feast will be a turning point in everyone’s life.
-This month will mark the dawning of a new day.
-It shall be to every one of us, the beginning of months.
-God will start new things in our lives, open new chapters for every one of us in the name of Jesus Christ.
…everybody bring out your handkerchief. If you don’t handkerchief, bring out your Bible and raise it. Everybody must hold something in his hand now. Everybody. We are celebrating God. This is our 40 years celebration season. Amen. Praise God. That continues all through the week: we are in a high-level heaven celebration. You are either going to be part of it or stay at home. Amen. We are just celebrating God.
Has God been wonderful to you?
…Give Him praise. We are going to give Him 3 Jumping Hosannas: that is how to usher in the King.
Wave those materials to Heaven and give God thanks one more time for opening up this prophetic feast by receiving our pre-feast praise today. Thank You Jesus. In Jesus precious name.
Somebody watched one of our meetings and called one of her friends who was there. She said, “I saw you jumping like an antelope” and I said humorously, that’s how we jump levels.
-By jumping before the Lord like an antelope, you are jumping levels in life.
This is a pre-praise time. Then we will enter the first match tomorrow and it is going to be a league of matches all through the week. We will just be celebrating God for what He has done, mostly without us. He has done it before we saw it and that’s what He does. He does wonders without number, that is His specialty.
-From now, that becomes the experience of every Winner worldwide.
-It becomes the experience of everyone connected to this Commission.
Wonders without number that will keep you celebrating for life in the name of Jesus.
The month of May is a month to watch. Therefore, this month will bring you its manner of fruits, the kind you have never heard or read of and it is starting from after this Service.
Someone was in Church two Sundays ago when I said, “lift up the points of contact for your business.” He used to own a number of trucks, tippers and shops; everything went off and he descended to riding Okada (motorcycle) to make a living. Then he lifted the phone, he didn’t remember to put it off. The phone was ringing while the prayer was going on, but he won’t let go, he was just before the Lord and receiving the prophetic blessing. After the Service, he tried to find out which number, called the person, it happened to be somebody he used to know many years ago.
He said: I learnt you had some challenges. What do you need?
He called the person next to him, please help me listen, I can’t hear what he is saying. He said, “what do you mean?”
He said, “any way, before you make up your mind what you need, I am sending you 500,000 to your account.”
He is one of our new converts. He said, “ehhh, just like that.”
-There shall be many things just like that from now.
-In your life, the Lord will validate this Commission in every aspect of your life that is yet to experience it.
-Everything you notice as a person in this Commission is your right. It’s your right as a member of the family. It’s your right.
-The peace of God here is your right.
-Supernatural supplies here is your right.
-Validation of prophetic Word is your right.
Anything you see here is your right. It’s your right. You are on board this flight, whatever is served here is your right. It is not humility to say, “well, you don’t want.” You press the bell, let the Air Hostess come several times, bring water. After the water, bring orange, bring apple, okay mix them together: Water, apple, orange. It’s your right, it’s already contained in your ticket.
So being a member of this family makes every virtue from Heaven that manifests in this Commission to be your right.
You will just see healing just like that.
The health of your children restored just like that.
Everything from now will be just like that.
You will stand in His presence and He is making a difference in your life. That shall be your experience.
Now the month is declared your month. It shall be a month of months to you. It shall be the beginning of months to you. It shall be a month that you’ll live to remember for long. It shall be a month you’ll live to remember for long. It shall be a month to remember for long.
Watch, the Mandate was delivered in May; our Church planting work started in May; Mission to Africa was ushered in May. May is just unique. We were rescued from a potential air crash in May. May, May, May.
Everything that occurred in May in this Commission is your right.
-God will open new chapters to you this month.
-You will encounter God and He will lay before you His agenda for your life.
-He will move you from one phase to another in the name of Jesus.
It was in the month of May God swore to me and said, “My son even if you don’t want to be rich, it’s too late.” It was in May.
It was May when He walked up to my room; put His hand on my back and I felt like warm water going down my spine: an eruption of signs and wonders followed after. It was in May.
The month of May is loaded, for us as a Commission. It will deliver in your life this month. The month of May will deliver in your life this month.
The month of May must deliver in your life this month.
In closing, ensure that your mantle comes with you every day all through this season. Not just for praise but for renewal of oil.
-Whatever might have happened in this Commission in the last 40 years that is a need in your life must deliver this month.
-Everything dying or dead within anyone must be brought back to life.
-Anyone still breathing today in this Commission is not permitted to die.
-Everyone at the verge of death is rescued via this praise today
Exodus 15:11 – He does fearful wonders in the midst of praises.
-Therefore, that same God that brings the dead back to life goes into every hospital room, goes into every sick bed in anyone’s home wherever they may be connected to this Commission right now this morning, they are set free.
-Everyone that sees this 40th Anniversary Prophetic Feast will live to fulfill the number of his days.
-There shall be a baptism of a good old age upon every individual and their families.
-Untimely death, no more.
In the name of Jesus.
This is your month.
SPEAK TO THE MONTH:
Magnify Him. Month of May, you must deliver in my life.
It’s a month of months in this Commission, it must be a month of months in my life.
