Pastor Dr. W.F Kumuyi at Signs and Wonders for the Needy.
DAY ONE
THE NEED FOR SIGNS AND WONDERS
Praise the Lord! We bless the name of the Lord for Signs and Wonders for every needy person and today as you are here, the hand of the Lord is going to touch you. Signs, wonders, miracles upon every life in Jesus name.
Tonight is the first night, and this first night, the Lord will reach you anywhere you are. Get ready, signs and wonders for everyone.
I will get it, What about you?
I will get it, it will happen in Jesus name.
Let’s have a word of prayer:
Father, we thank you because we know you are ready to bless everyone, you love everyone, and everyone in need, your power is going to meet them at their point of need in Jesus name. Tonight, salvation!
Tonight, healing!
Tonight, deliverance!
Tonight, the manifestation of your power in every life in Jesus name. Confirm it Lord, in every life, in Jesus name we pray. God bless you.
Tonight, I want to tell you a story and it’s a story connected with a man in need, a boy in need, a family in need, and then there was Christ, and that Christ is here today, He is there by your side.
Jesus Christ met that man and he fulfilled the need in a very simple way, and the word of God says ‘Jesus Christ the same yesterday, today, and forever’, what He did in the story I’m going to read to you, He will do in your life, the same simple way the power of God was manifested to the man, to the boy, to the family, to everyone available, in that same way the Lord will make His power, His grace and His goodness to flow into your life today in Jesus name.
The story I’m reading to you is from John 4: 48. There was a man, he came to the Lord and his son was at the point of death, and he said ‘Lord, I need your help’. You need help tonight; help is coming your way tonight. And then Jesus mentioned an important statement, important at that time, important today and it will be important tomorrow, ‘Except you see signs and wonders, you will not believe’. You will partake of signs and wonders in your life, in your family, in Jesus name.
Can you see something in that verse I read to you now? The need for signs and wonders, the necessity of signs and wonders, and Jesus said it’s necessary, it’s important for you, for me, for everyone to see the signs and wonders.
Now, I want to tell you, when Christ came, He made everybody that contacted him to see signs and wonders.
Mary saw signs and wonders because the angel appeared to her, she conceived as a virgin.
The shepherd in the field that heard about the birth of Christ, the angels came from heaven and announced that the Lord Jesus was born, the angel said you will see a sign, you will see that babe that Isaiah spoke about 700 years before, you will see him wrapped in swaddling clothes, he saw a sign, all those wise men from the East saw the star and they followed the star and they never saw a star leading anyone to a baby before, they saw a sign.
Then Jesus started his ministry, He saw a sign and said, ‘The spirit of the Lord is upon me, the Lord has anointed me to preach the good news to the poor, to open the eyes of the blind, to make the lame walk’, they all saw signs. Look at Jesus on the cross of Calvary and look at Him giving His life for you, and all those soldiers around, they saw the sign. By the time they got to Him, they saw already He had died, and on the third day, Jesus Christ rose again, but before He rose again, an angel came from heaven, rolled away the stone, there was a great earthquake and they fell on their faces. They saw a sign and He revealed Himself for 40 days with infallible proofs, talking about the Kingdom of God.
And then on the final day, He was talking to those disciples and they were looking at Him like this, no aeroplane, no helicopter, He was going up and up to heaven.
Everything about Christ is signs and wonders, and today, you will partake of the signs and the wonders, salvation is coming to you, eternal life is coming to you. You will see the signs and wonders.
Tonight, being the first night, is for introduction. I’m going to talk to you briefly about three things.
- The Proper Foundation for Signs and Wonders
If you are going to build a good house, massive edifice, you need foundation, and your faith needs foundation. Church Gist. As you are waiting and you want the signs and the wonders, the miracles and the healings, we need to have the foundation. - The Present Freedom from Sickness by His Word:
-Someone is getting free today, free from satanic yoke, free from demonic power, free from incurable disease.
-Someone here tonight, you are getting your freedom in Jesus name.
The present-day freedom, not the freedom of long ago, and it’s coming your way. Our Present freedom from sickness by His word. The word will come to you and I’m telling you when you hear the final Amen, after that prayer that we are going to pray, all the sicknesses and infirmities that are in your life, in your body, will vanish away in Jesus name.
- Personal Faith in the Saviour of the World: You know as you come to the Lord, let’s say for example somebody is hungry, no matter how much food I eat for you, your hunger will still be there, it has to be personal. As the Lord provides the food, the power, the healing salvation, I cannot take that food for you. I cannot breathe for you, no matter how fast I breathe, all that breathing will be for myself, you have to breathe for yourself. It has to be personal, the same way you have the personal faith believing on the Lord, you believe for yourself, you are believing tonight.
THE PROPER FOUNDATION FOR SIGNS AND WONDERS
John 4: 1-6. Jesus came again. We’ve been here before and we are here again. As we are here again, something greater will happen.
I was here in the 80’s, that was my first time of being here. At that time we preached the word and then exalted the Lord, many miracles happened but there was one man, he had this madness, he was collecting things on the street and for 4years he had been like that. Eventually as he was passing by in front of the church, without any hand being laid on him, the power of God came upon him, he became healed instantaneously, then the ushers took him and they cleaned him up, preached the word to him, he became born-again and became a member of the church.
We were here before, we are here again, something good is coming your way.
We were having retreat here and so many other people joined us, the wife was lame, the husband was blind, then we prayed. After that short prayer, the kind of prayer that you are going to pray tonight and you are going to receive, after the prayer that woman got up, paralysis gone, stroke gone, she started walking normally.
-If you are lame here today, if you have stroke here today, power is coming your way, you will rise up and walk in Jesus name.
And the people were shouting and rejoicing, and the man asked, ‘Why are people shouting?’ They said, ‘Your wife is no more lame’, when the man heard that, his eyes opened. All those things that happened before, today we are here again greater things will happen.
So, Jesus came again, and there was a certain noble man whose son was sick. When he heard that Jesus had came from Judea unto Galilee, he went unto him.
My question is,’ Why would this nobleman go?’ He heard testimonies like you are hearing tonight from other people and he took action. There are people that have burden, they have sorrows and then they hear but they don’t take action, they are like spectators, they are so happy for other people. The man said, ‘I will not be a spectator, I will be a partaker’. He came to Jesus and besought him that he should heal his son who was at the point of death.
My question is, ‘Noble man, why would you leave suggested, superstitious solutions and come to Jesus to heal your son that was at the point of death?’
He knew that Jesus is the foundation, He is the foundation of our salvation. For you to get saved, come to that foundation. He is the foundation for the power of God, for you to partake of that power, come to that foundation. For you to build a gracious life, a good life, come to that foundation, and your life will turn around. Church Gist. He is the foundation of any success that you desire. The man came to the Lord with faith in his heart, that is the foundation of life and the foundation of our living a life that is pleasing to God. If you are going to amount to anything significant for heaven, and significant for the Almighty God, you have to come to this foundation, and you can. It was when he came that Jesus said to him, ‘Except you see signs and wonders, you will not believe’.
-Your case is urgent and today the Lord will make you see, if you have been blind, the urgent thing this night is that your eyes shall be opened.
Jesus is the foundation for signs and wonders. There is no other foundation that man can lay except Jesus.
THE PRESENT FREEDOM FROM SICKNESS BY HIS WORD
Jesus is the word personified. John 1: 1-3. In fact, all that Jesus is, is in his word, his power is in his word, his salvation is in his word, his deliverance and his power and dominion is in the word. And, so, your freedom is in the word. Look at the story we are reading in John 4: 50. Jesus said, ‘Go thy way, thy son liveth’. Your soul tonight will live, your body tonight will live, anything dead in your life, tonight will live in Jesus name. And the man believed the word, that’s how you get miracle, that’s how you get salvation.
-Anybody there, can I send the word of Jesus to you, you will not die now, this sickness will not continue, you will be healed.
The man believed the word and we were told that he went his way. In verse 51, as he was going, his servants met him and told him saying, ‘Thy son liveth’. The words of Christ would be fulfilled in your life. Tonight, you will see sign and wonders.
