LAUGHTER IS A SIGN OF SUPERIORITY.
IT IS A SIGN THAT YOU ARE IN CHARGE.
IT IS A MARK OF REST.
AS WE ROUND UP THIS YEAR, THE LORD WILL BLESS YOU WITH MORE THAN ENOUGH REASONS FOR LAUGHTER.
WHENEVER THERE IS DIVINE INTERVENTION, THERE MUST BE LAUGHTER
I PROPHESY THAT GOD WILL CHANGE YOUR STORY!
WHATEVER HAS BEEN TIED DOWN IN YOUR LIFE IS RELEASED RIGHT NOW!
I SEE GOD GIVING YOU SUDDEN VICTORY OVER YOUR ENEMIES!
THERE MIGHT BE ALL SORTS OF LEGAL REASONS FOR THE ENEMY TO HOLD YOU CAPTIVE, BUT GOD, CAN THE PREY BE TAKEN FROM THE MOUTH OF THE WICKED?
THE ANSWER IS YES!!
WHATEVER LEGALITY HELD YOU BOUND, TODAY BY THE BLOOD OF JESUS AND IN THE NAME OF JESUS, I COMMAND YOUR FREEDOM!!
WE SPEND ON HUMAN BEINGS MORE THAN WE SPEND ON GOD.
WHEN TROUBLES COME, THOSE HUMAN BEINGS WILL NOT BE THERE FOR US.
YOU CAN’T BE STINGY TOWARDS GOD AND EXPECT GOD TO MAKE YOU REJOICE.
SACRIFICE FOR GOD. LET NOTHING BE TOO BIG TO GIVE TO GOD.
DON’T EXPECT A HARVEST WHEN YOU HAVE NOT SOWN.
EVERY GIRLFRIEND YOU HAVE IN YOUR LIFE IS A MINUS IN YOUR BANK ACCOUNT. IF YOU HAVE 10 GIRLFRIENDS, THAT IS 10 LOOPHOLES. 10 CHANNELS OF FINANCIAL DRAINAGE.
AS A MARRIED WOMAN, YOU DON’T HAVE MONEY TO SUPPORT YOUR HUSBAND, BUT YOU HAVE MONEY TO GIVE TO A BOY SOMEWHERE ELSE, IT IS DESTRUCTION
-Reverend Godwin I Abba on ‘The Oil To Laugh Last’ Anointing service || Word Alive Centre International, Abuja || Combined Service ||18th December, 2022.
Psalms 92:10-14, Psalms 126:2-6.
In today’s anointing service, We are going to be looking at the Anointing of Laughter. It sounds funny but it is real. One of the anointing on the life of PA Kenneth Hagin is the laughing anointing. Pa Kenneth Hagin can just be ministering and suddenly, that grace breaks out and people just begin to laugh. He comes, touches this person and the person just falls under the anointing and instead of the person to begin to ‘kabash’, the person just begins to laugh.
Laughter is a sign of superiority. It’s a mark of sovereignty. It’s a sign that you are in charge. It’s a sign of comfort. It’s mark of rest. Inasmuch as there is the mocking laughter, there is also the making laughter. Church Gist. This morning we will be looking at the Making laughter over those that have laughed over you in mockery. While they thought they can mock you, God will make you. May your Amen make it happen for you, in the name of Jesus!
And on behalf of those watching online from any part of the world, we want to welcome you, the Lord bless you real good and your life will never be the same again. Church, can we celebrate them with a clap offering? Back it up with a shout!
We understand that the year is coming to a wrap already and there’s so much that God has done for us already from January till now. All the same, we are still going to ask Him for more and He’s ever ready to do more. How many of you are aware that God is never afraid fo your requests? He’s never afraid of your desires.
Father once again, thank You for Your word. Bless Your name. Remove sorrow. Take away shame. Destroy pain. Destroy depression from somebody’s life today.
And those watching from wherever they are watching from, Lord help them, bless them. In Jesus name.
What is laughter? Laughter is the action of joy, excitement and celebration. Psalms 126:2. Anytime God blesses you with reasons for laughter, He also blesses you with reasons for singing. As we are rounding up this year, the Lord will bless you with more than enough reasons for laughter. And give you more than enough reasons for singing, in the name of Jesus. Church Gist. The devil will not have the final say or the final laugh in the name of Jesus. Say Oh God, fill my mouth with laughter and fill my mouth again with singing.
If you belive that, jump to your feet and say, Father, that is my word!
Laughter is the experience or the manifestation of amusement, happiness and rejoicing. You are so filled with wonderment that it results to laughter. Or happiness that bursts out into laughter or rejoicing that bursts out into laughter.
Some years ago, I was believing God for a major miracle and it looked as if it was not coming to pass. It was like all ends were locked, all doors were shut physically speaking. Church Gist. It was pathetic enough to cause depression and disappointment. While in that physical mood, suddenly, there was a well of revelation in my spirit-man that God can cause anything to happen in less than 24 hours. By that revelation, contentment came in. By that contentment, I burst forth into laughter. The people around me didn’t know why I was laughing. But I was laughing because I know that when God takes charge, everything you believe Him for will be discharged.
A family friend that was married, we believed God for her for the blessing of the fruit of the womb. Church Gist. I remember the first time that the husband and herself told me about their desires, expectations for the fruit of the womb, I wanted to pray but there was this reservation. What if you pray and it doesn’t happen? This person is a pastor. A pastor coming to meet you, to pray for the wife for the fruit of the womb, that’s a tough task. Church Gist. That’s an uphill task. I wanted to pray, but I said let me just respect myself and just hold on. But the Holy Ghost said Pray for him, the anointing on his life is not for him, he needs another anointing to experience a breakthrough. So I prayed for him and I prayed for the wife. In less than sixteen months, baby was born.
I said that to say this to you, Whatever may look practically impossible, God will do it for you. Your mouth will be filled with laughter in the name of Jesus Christ!
When my wife and I just got married, she took in and then there was a kind of challenge, she started seeing blood. On the Christmas day of that year, we were in the hospital for evacuation. And then one or two persons were saying, We said it, you pray for people, they get the blessings of the fruit of the womb. Now you’re married, I think about how many months? The issue of miscarriage, nobody was aware of that. I think maybe just my mother – in – law, even my own mum was not aware. We were just quiet about it. So they expected to see her ‘leke-lized’. You know what it means to be ‘leke-lized?’ They expected to see a protrusion, pregnancy and they were not seeing it. Some people started making some mockery languages, that He prays for people and they get blessed with the fruit of the womb, now this is his wife, nothing is happening.
We got married in 2003 and our first child was born June 3rd, 2005. And after then, it has been poom, poom, poom until we started advising ourselves.
I say that to say this, Anywhere you have been mocked, God will give you major miracles there! Any area you’ve been mocked, God will give you mind blowing miracles there! He will give you a change of story there in the name of Jesus Christ!
I see God filling somebody’s mouth with laughter here today in the name of Jesus Christ!
Jump to your feet, lift up your right hand, say, and Oh God, fill my mouth with laughter!
So shall it be!
We are going to be looking at six reasons for laughter.
By virtue of Psalms 92:10 we shall see our desires on our enemies. We shall also share of our desires on our enemies.
- Divine Intervention: Anytime there is divine intervention, there must be laughter. Psalms 126:1. Whenever there is a sudden divine intervention, there must be reasons of laughter and I pray for someone here today, in case you’ve looked all round and it looks like nothing can happen for good. It looks as if God has delayed. It looks as if your doors are shut, or the case may be looking hopeless and helpless, I prophesy into your life today that there shall be a sudden divine intervention! Church Gist. The God who turned around the captivity of Zion, shall turn your own around. He will turn your own around.
Say Oh God, turn my case around! Turn my situation around! Turn whatever issue that is in my life or my family, oh God, turn them around!
So shall it be!
I said the Lord will turn it around, in the name of Jesus!
One of my members who is into Real Estate came and met me. He said his wife is tired of him, friends are tired of him, even he himself is tired of himself. I asked him what was the problem. Church Gist.
He said he was into real estate, yet he can’t rent houses out, he can’t sell land, nothing was working.
He said when he sees the property and they give him power of attorney to sell or market, before he gets a client, another person will bring client or buyer and that becomes the end of the deal. It happened several times. So I said, kneel down, let me pray for you. While I was praying for him, the Lord gave me a prophetic instruction to give to him. I said Go and get me a bottle of oil. I prayed on it and told him, From this day any property that is handed over to you for sales, don’t just receive the document, anoint your feet, step on that property and make declarations into the atmosphere that nobody shows up here until I sell this property. Church Gist. And this property will not delay, I will sell you on time.
Before he opened his eyes, the first deal, poom, it was done. He came, paid tithe and went bought a car.
I remember that day, I was in church, he came and parked his car in the middle of the road. And he said, Daddy come and see. I said, Is this the car you bought? Why are you parked in the middle of the road?
He said the devil had mocked him so much that he wants to cause ‘go-slow’.
I pray for someone under the sound of my voice, God will give you a miracle that you will use to cause ‘go-slow’!
Where nobody ever believed, there shall be a divine intervention, it shall work for you! Church Gist.
It will happen for you! In the name of Jesus!
Divine intervention!
One sister was so blessed by God and she met me and said, Daddy can this be real? I said I don’t understand.
She said, What God did, can it be real?
She shared a testimony with me, even me I was shocked at it. But one thing we do(as pastors) we pretend as if we are not shocked.
You know what it means to apply for job? You applied and applied for jobs and nobody answered you? The few people that want to assist you, the men want to sleep with you. Church Gist. Some of the women are lesbians and then you stood your ground and said, Never, it is better I don’t do any work.
Here you are, you sat down at home and somebody gave you a call and said, Take your document to so and so place. You did. The person you are going to meet you don’t know from Adam, you dropped your document and then the person asked you- we are not talking about one company by the roadside, we are talking about a federal government job. Church Gist. Then the person asked you, When would you like to resume?
You say, As soon as you are ready. The next question is, Where would you like us to post you to?
They’ve not started processing your document but job has been released, place of posting has been discussed. When she came back, her appointment letter was in her hand. She dropped it on this altar, rolled on this same altar.
I am here to prophesy over somebody, in case they thought it is impossible, the God I serve will make it happen for you! He will make it happen for you in the name of Jesus!
May the Lord give you a blessing that will cause the heart of men to quake, their ears to tingle and the eyes to bulge out in the name of Jesus!
Jump to your feet say, Oh Lord, do it for me.
- The change of story.
By virtue of divine order, this was the prophetic word of God for us this year. And God has changed diverse people’s stories. Church Gist. This year alone I dedicated 3 or 4 people’s houses of our church members. We have dedicated cars upon cars- some during service days, others off service days- on and on, like that. People who nobody ever believed anything great will ever happen in their lives.
One of our daughters had a challenge, she’s in Canada right now. It was difficult for her to get admission. She was in Canada before, almost becoming a citizen and then one or two things happened and she came to Nigeria and there was a little barrier about her going back. Church Gist. One of the days, she sat in the service and seeds were being sown. And someone told her to go and sow a seed and connect for the reversal of your document, let it be turned around. Particularly for her permanent residency. She sat in church, depressed, tired. How long will I be waiting for this? Lawyers upon lawyers seem to have disappointed her. She had done all she would humanly speaking. Church Gist. She sat in the service, according to her, I was prophesying as I’m going to be prophesying now. And then this young man told her to go sow seed in expectation of your residency permit. She came out reluctantly and did so. How many hours did it take?
Three hours later, she got an email that her Residency permit has been released. Church Gist. She was in church here, prophecies were being released.
I am here to prophesy on the life of someone that God will change your story! Whatever has been tied down in your life that should be released, right now, I prophesy a release in the name of Jesus!
The God that released her Resident document, that same God will step in on your behalf.
Thank You Father, thank You Lord!
Lift up your hands. The God who did it for her will do it for you!
Whatever is yours that has been tied down, I loosen them now! I loosen them now! I command a release of that which is yours, from the North, South, East and West! I loosen them now! Home and abroad! I command a release right now! In the name of Jesus!
Lift up your right hand and say, Oh God, whatever that is mine, that has been tied up. Wherever home or abroad, anywhere.
In the physical realm. In the spiritual realm. Any thing that is mine that has been tied down, I loosen them now!! I release them now! I release my documents! I release my appointment letter! Begin to speak right now!
Release your permit anywhere where you are watching from. From the United States, from the United Kingdom. Any part of Europe, any part of Asia, Australia, South Africa, that you believe God for. For your residency permit I release them now.
I command their release now in th name of Jesus!
Thank You father.
In 3 hours, document released!
- A sudden victory over your enemies.
When God gives you sudden victory over your enemies. I see God giving you sudden victory. May your Amen make it happen for you!
Psalms 92:11. I prophesy upon the life of somebody here today, anybody that has called themselves your enemy, this shall be their portion! You will see your desires on them! Anyone contending with you, we calm them down right now. Anyone resisting your progress, we pull them down right now in the name of Jesus!
Are you aware that in every battle, somebody must lose and somebody must win? It’s like the World Cup going on right now. Argentina and France will be playing the finals today. As we are sitted right now, the house is divided, some people are saying Let Argentina win. Because of Messi. Church Gist. Let Argentina just win. Others are saying Let Argentina just go, because it is France that is the current World champion. Let them just transfer it to Argentina. Others are saying, Let France make it. Let them break record, let it be that they held the World Cup back to back
Different people, different expectations, different opinions and desires.
Whatever party you belong to; one country will win and another country will lose.
They cannot win at the same time. They cannot lose at the same time.
If you’re a French person, you will be wishing that your own country wins. Not so? That is how life is. There are enemies everywhere but somebody will lose and another will win. The question is, Who shall win, who will lose?
I say You will see your desires on your enemies! I don’t care how tense the battle is, I don’t care how fierce the battle is, you shall not lose that battle! You shall not lose the batte of your head. You will not lose the battle of your family! You will not lose the battle over your destiny! You shall not lose the battle over your finance! You will not lose the battle over your ministry! You shall win! You will see the desire over your enemies! They shall not see your end! Your enemies will not hear about your end! You will see their end, you will hear about their end in the name of Jesus!
Whatever they planned for you, they will end up in that pit in the name of Jesus!
There is somebody watching my case, I am here to prophesy upon your life, that the Lord will redeem you! And turn the arm of the clock back your favor.
Isaiah 59:24. Even if you are in the hands of the enemies, God said I will deliver you. I will pull you out!
Somebody is here, they said that your mother covenanted you to one evil altar and the altar is claiming right over you.
Or your father covenanted you to one demonic foundation and the foundation is claiming right over you. There are all levels of legalities for them to hold you captive and the question is Can the prey be taken from the mouth of the wicked? Or the lawfully captive delivered? God said Yes, a prey can be taken. What you just saw happen right now is that God took the prey away from the destroyer and took the lawful captive and said You are delivered. Whatever was the legality that held you bound, legality with the marine world, legality with the witchcraft world. You were covenanted unto idols, altars and they are claiming right over you, today by the Blood of Jesus in the name of Jesus, I command your freedom!
The yoke is broken! Every covenant with the marine world, broken! Church Gist. With the witchcraft world, broken! Evil foundations, broken!
Somebody shout I am free! Say I’m coming out! I am free!
There is somebody here , God just broke the yoke with blood covenant. He just broke the yoke.
Say I will laugh again. Demonic soul ties, the man is not with you, yet you keep seeing him in your dreams. And he keeps threatening you. I curse that devil right now in the name of Jesus Christ!
In the dead of the night you see masquerades chasing you because they covenanted you with certain idols and certain altars, today the yoke is hereby broken in the name of Jesus!
Every covenant with poverty from your ancestry, where they said nobody can become wealthy, I shatter those covenants right now in the name of Jesus!
Every covenant of singlehood, I break them right now!
Every covenant of barrenness, childlessness, somebody shout fire at the top of your voice!
Today the Almighty is bigger than the mighty and the Almighty has intervened on your behalf!
Say I have victory over my enemies and so I shall laugh!
Put your hands together for the Lord quickly and celebrate Him. Father we give You the praise!
- Great achievement and great accomplishments in life.
When God makes a person, He makes that person to become mighty. Psalms 126:3. He has done great things for us. Church Gist. Like the testimony we had from Colonel Cyril this morning, that course he went for and that appointment that was released are for just very minimal few. Minute few. Anybody that attends that course has to be recommended from different important areas. It is highly competitive because of the prospect. If you manage to embark on it, then understand that you have a future in the military. Guaranteed future by the mercies of God. So the competition is quiet hard.
The God who sponsors achievement and is behind fulfillment said My son, I will give you fulfillment and new achievement. There are certain people with multiple opportunities but unfortunately what it takes for them to take advantage of those opportunities, they don’t have so they got disqualified.
You hear somebody say “I could have become this o. I tell you the truth but… I would have been able to attain this height but… I would have been among the people that were promoted but…”
The Lord said I should prophesy into your life.
Every negative But in your life, I cancel it right now!
Any But that will be to your disadvantage, I cancel them right now! I cancel them right now! I cancel them right now!
Whatever you need to get to the peak of your career, receive it right now! Receive it now! Church Gist. Whatever grace, whatever support, whatever anointing, whatever divine enablement, receive them now!
You shall get from the lower part to the topmost part of your career!
You will become your best and your all! No devil will cut you short! No devil will stop you! You will not labor in vain! I say you will not labor in vain! I speak into your life and destiny, any man, any woman, anyone that the enemy has released to pull you down, we curse that person right now! In the name of Jesus!
Say Oh God, Raise me to the peak of my career! I shall finish well and I shall finish gloriously! I finish excellently. No power will stop me!
I prayed for one of our sons who was being hindered from rising. When he told me I said, Get me the names of those visible enemies. The names were submitted. I placed it on the altar. I said, Father, either they let go of this son or they face the judgement. From one to 2, 3, 4, 5, 7 of them, the Lord dealt with all of them one after the other. One after the other!
The person whose testimony I just said with you right now is in Port-Harcourt or Lagos.
This one I’m about to share right now is seated in the church. Church Gist. He said in the place where he was before, his direct boss kept intimidating him. Pushing him everywhere, do this, do that! Ah Madam, let me rest first now. Shhh! Is it not you that said you want to work? Do this, do that!
The woman humiliated him.
Didn’t even want to consider that he’s married or he is a man. Just said “na work you wan work”. And then suddenly, one of the days, I called him.
Just had a need to call him. How are you? You’re not sounding too excited.
He said, Daddy I’m tired.
About what?
About life. I’m tired of this area, I’m tired of that area.
Then I spoke into his life.
He sat down one day in the evening and got a call that he was transferred from that hellish branch to the National Headquarters. This was weekend. And he was tonresume work there on Monday. And the person that has been intimidating him also got a news because she was his direct boss. And then she called him and said, You know, you understand na, it was my official work I was doing. Please now that you have gone to the Headquarters, remember people like us here from time to time.
If I were him…, let me not talk. Say Papa, don’t say anything.
That was how he was transferred back to the Headquarters and he told me, Daddy, it is now my work just started. You know what that meant, God just gave him fulfillment.
I prophesy upon the life of somebody, that God will give you satisfaction. He will give you fulfillment, He will give you great achievement. You will not be mocked in your place of service. Church Gist. You will not be messed up in your place of work, whatever you are doing and people are thinking that you are wasting your time, the God I serve will honor you in the name of Jesus!
- Divine turnaround.
This sounds almost like divine fulfillment but there’s a difference. Divine turnaround is when the enemy has pushed you, you were heading directly into failure. Life is going down the steep and then suddenly God just turned things around in your life.
You that used to be up there, certain things happened that started bringing you down gradually. One step down. You say well, it’s just one step down, thank God my life is not totally bad. Before you finish pronouncing it, another step down and you started looking at your life, you say what is happening to me? Before you complete that statement, you take another step down. And then people begin to celebrate against your enemy. Before you say, Father what, another step and you are completely down. And the whole world thought that was your end and then God steps in.
He said I am the God that raises one and brings down the other. Church Gist. This down that you came, it wasn’t me that brought you and because it wasn’t me that brought you down, I’m going to take you back up again.
Before they open their eyes, there’s a turnaround and you start stepping back up again. They say, the guy is beginning to rise, you take up again. You go up again. They say, Ah what is happening, it’s like this guy is beginning to go up. And then God took you up again. Suddenly, there is a turnaround!
And I hear the Lord saying I should tell somebody, I shall overturn and overturn and I shall overturn and overturn until it comes to him whose right it is and I will give it to him.
It is true that you lost your accommodation, it’s true that you lost your building, it’s true that you lost your car. It’s true that you lost your job, it’s true that you lost your finances, it’s true that you even lost your ministry. Wherever you are, I am here to let you know that God is giving you a turnaround!
They see you down and they were mocking you, they said do you remember that man who used to be up there, but today he can’t even come close to us. He is far, far below, the Lord said I should say to you, you are about to rise!
Not only shall you rise, you shall rise above them, you shall rise higher than them in the name of Jesus! They said she used to have money, she used to be connected, but now nobody answers her greetings. Church Gist. Nobody looks at her direction, I am here to prophesy, that the Lord will restore you and will connect you and open doors for you again and again in the name of Jesus!
Say Oh God, give me a turnaround!
Sit down as we round up. Somebody say, I shall laugh again!
- Harvest of your past sacrifice.
I’m a giver. I started giving before I got married. I continued giving and giving and giving, to a point that one of my friends said, Pastor Abba, you’ve been giving so much, the only thing left for you to give out now is your wife and your children. And I smiled.
Those periods when I was giving, it was like there was no return, it was like there was no harvest. I just gave and gave and gave. Church Gist. Paid the price for many things and we are still paying. Sleepless nights, days without food. Countless moments of empty accounts. Yet, the little that enters our hand, pheeewww (is given out).
Then suddenly, the harvest began to come in, began to come in, began to come in. And I looked at my wife one day and I said, Baby, get ready, the barriers are about to collapse. And so it is. They are collapsing already.
While the service was going on, one of our sisters walked out and said, Daddy, God gave me a word for you. She’s seated here. Please help me give her the microphone quickly. Please stand up, give her the mic.
She met me outside today and said God give her two revelations while the service was going on. I’d like to mention them quickly.
Sister: Good morning church. I normally share my testimony with my husband so I just heard the word when the service was going on and the message is that we prepare more for service in terms of what we are going to wear, how we are going to look than how the service is going to go(praying for the service)
Then the second message is that we need to assist our Daddy. Stand by him, that it’s like…
Reverend Abba: Sorry, I am changing your words. There are certain words I didn’t want her to… I didn’t want her to share it but while I was ministering just now God told me to allow it to be shared. Go ahead please.
Sister: He says we should assist you sir. That you need an assistance.
Reverend Godwin: The right word is Stand by. God bless you, I don’t need asssistance. I’m not talking down your this thing o (word of prophecy). But sometimes, God gives us revelation and the right word to communicate it becomes very important. Are understanding me right now. Praise the Lord, praise the Lord.
The Lord said, Offer yourself to me as a living sacrifice and somebody went to meet the wife and said, God said I should kill my self. It means the same thing. Are you understanding me? To you who is saying it. But the person who is listening to it, it means different things to that person. Praise the Lord.
The first message was that, we prepare more in dressing than in praying for the service.
The second one was Let’s Stand by our Daddy. Church Gist. The word she got was ‘assist’ but I think the correct word should be ‘stand by’. It’s not pride. You can stand by me. You can join forces with me to build, but I’m not helpless to say I need assistance. Are we good? Because it’s everybody God will bless here. Whatever you get involved in, God will bless you.
I said that to continue from where I stopped, a time came my wife and I were all out. The work! Somebody was speaking with her yesterday and said there are different departments in this church and there are different boards but it is noticed that most times the work still comes back to the same people.
Hello? Are we good? And yet the people don’t complain. You know why? Church Gist. There is always harvest to every sacrifice!
Bishop Oyedepo shared a testimony of how when he started the ministry, he couldn’t buy Peak milk, he couldn’t drink tea. Everything that came in, they put it back and people were mocking them.
Today, Forbes magazine, or some of these people that run magazines and the likes they say, he is the richest pastor in the world. And they now mentioned his net worth and he said, No, they are wrong, he is worth more than that. He cannot be ashamed of them saying it. When he was paying the price, sowing the seed, who was there? Nobody! Nobody!
Today they say Pastors are flying private Jets. Genuine pastors, I’m not talking about thief pastors. Genuine pastors. They said some of them build mega buildings that they should have turned into factories to employ people.
Can I say something here? The number of people that some churches employ and are paying, some government parastatals don’t have it. And what some churches pay their staff, some government ministries can’t pay.
And it is very rare to hear a genuine pastor owing staff, 3 months, 4 months, 5 months, 6 months. No! Churches employ people.
In Word Alive, there are people that are on our payroll, every month. Payroll! Sacrifice pays off. Church Gist. There is no harvest without sacrifice. Psalms 126:5,6. There is no commitment you give to this kingdom that is a waste. There is no sacrifice you give out that is a waste. Church Gist. You go out on evangelism, people may not see you but God is keeping records.
You carried out certain projects, people didn’t hear your name. They didn’t write your name on the project but God is taking records.
You gave your all and you went home crying and they asked you what happened and you managed to open up. They called you ‘mugu’. God says you are not a fool, you are not a ‘mugu’. I am keeping records.
We are talking about reasons for laughter. Why God should make you laugh. You can’t be stingy towards God and expect God to make you rejoice. It’s a lie! Those that sow in tears they shall reap in joy.
Sometime ago, I finished service, a young man just walked into the car and brought out some bundles of money. Two bundles of a hundred thousand Naira. He walked up to me and said, This morning after service, o was going out with my friends to go and spend it in Gogo area.
Either beer parlor or anywhere. But the money was assigned to be squandered before Sunday evening. And he said, while he sat in church, the Holy Ghost told him, How much was your offering? He mentioned it. How much do you have in your car? He said himself and his friends and then God asked him, If you fall sick right now, can your friends heal you? If something happens right now, can your friends deliver you?
So why do you spend more on your friends than on me?
We had closed , service was over. He was going out. He came back and brought it. He said this is the money that I planned to go squander with my friends but the Lord rebuked me, I have brought it to God.
He dropped it on the altar as offering. I prayed for him. And that is what happens to many people.
What we spend on human beings is more than what we spend on God. If anything happens, those human beings will turn their backs on us. It’s God we will look for, it’s Pastor we will call. Pastor, where are you? If you don’t show up right now, this is my last bustop.
A young lady gave all she had to a boyfriend. All she had, all she had. In the name of investment. Only to wait and see the guy go marry another person. Yes! She came into my office and fell on the ground that she’s dying. My heart skipped!
I rushed, Father she shall not die, in the name of Jesus, she shall not die. I rebuke every demonic spirit, I thought it was witchcraft attack. What’s the problem?
After everything she calmed down and said it’s one man o. The guy promised her marriage and took everything she had. It’s like willing it to him. Now the guy has married another person. I calmed down a little. What did you just say?
Yesterday, I got a text message: Daddy, pray for me. This man wherever he is, let the earth vomit him.
This one is another person. The message is on my phone. That I gave the guy my atm card with my password and the guy emptied the account of the lady. So I sent her a message: Where did you know him from? She said, we have known each other for 6 years.
We spend on human beings more than we spend on God and when troubles come, those human beings will not be there for us. They turn their backs on us. When it comes to giving to God, people call us fools and we accept it, meanwhile there are men that are highly irresponsible. What they do for their girlfriends, they have never done it for their mothers. They’ve never done it for God Almighty.
There are ladies that are senselessly useless. What they’ve given to their boyfriends, their fathers have not smelt it. Their brothers are roasting in the village and they’re buying a car for a guy in the city.
I don’t want to say, God punish you. May God deliver you!
When trouble happens, it’s Pastor they will look for. Some of you have not bought me handkerchief. There are brother you met in church here, that you have paid rent for. Yes, we dey hear, we dey see. As a daughter here, you’ve not bought your pastor one handkerchief. There are brothers, you’ve not bought your pastor a tie. But you can take a lady out and tell her Shop, anything you want to buy.
There is Wuse market, you won’t take her there. There is Karimu market, you won’t take her there, you’ll look for the most expensive boutique in Asokoro and take her there. Anything you want to pick!
This is a place where a lady’s shoe is 400,000 naira. Even though e dey pain you inside. You dey vex, you will still pay. When you are broke, you will come to Pastor, Daddy there are demons after my finances.
May God help you. It sounds funny but it is real. Very very real. We pay prices for people and then such people collapse and they crash, the next thing you hear from them is Papa, stand in the gap for me. Papa pray for me.
Some years ago, a young man walked up to me and said, Daddy, I am broke. I counted ten thousand Naira after Sunday service like this. You remember, you remember? I’ve not finished yet, Mama knows the story.
I counted ten thousand Naira and gave to him. The next thing I heard was that he took a lady to Mr Biggs. I’m not joking. With my money. The one he didn’t give to me, the one he did not have! Wetin women do men ehn! I’m telling you!
When I heard it, I called him, Where are you?!
He said, Daddy erm, erm.
Tell me where you are! I know where you are, tell me right now!
Sacrifice for God. Let nothing be too big for us to give to God. Nothing, nothing! Not cars, not houses, not money.
Psalms 126:6 (NLT)
Don’t expect harvest when you have not sown. Church Gist. It will never come!
Stand to your feet.
Then there are married men. The car your wife is driving was a ‘molue-tokunbo’. You and your neighbors have to come out in the morning to push it. You can’t change the car and you’re buying one lady ‘tear-leather’. You’re buying one Lady ‘tear-leather’, may God help you in the name of Jesus Christ.
Christmas is by the corner. If you are living in Lagos, your family may not travel beyond Lagos, but you have promised one lady Dubai. In Abuja, your family may not go beyond Abuja. But you have promised a lady somewhere to travel to, all expense paid. You want to prove to her that you’re a man. You’re a coward! It’s the clear truth.
Can I just advise men briefly? Can I just talk? Some ladies will be angry against me. The Lord help your head in Jesus name!
Every girlfriend you have is minus in your account. If you have 10 girlfriends, that is 10 loopholes. 10 channels of financial drainage. 5 girlfriends, 5 loopholes. 5 channels of financial loopholes.
No lady is free. Hello? Face your family. If you want to assist any lady, you can assist without any strings attached. It’s a seed you are sowing, not extra responsibility you are carrying. You are sowing seed. Hello sister, how are you doing? Cheque of 100,000 naira. No strings attached to it.
Christmas is coming! Praise the Lord. And then there are some women who collect from their husband to give to boyfriend. Okay, you think say I don talk finish?
You collect money from your husband to save to impress a boy somewhere! The guy says, Ehn you see, I just want to tell you that I’m very broke o.
You say, Don’t worry, I’ll get you some money.
Then you meet your husband, Please I need some money to do some expenses and the rest and the rest stuff, then you collect from him to give to the boy or the man. You say six pack. Praise the Lord!
Looking for young boys with muscle. They will soon mess you up. Face your family and have your peace!
You don’t have money to support your husband, but you have money to give to a boy somewhere else. It is destruction. This is not part of my service today and it is not part of my message, but did anybody receive wisdom?
Church Gist. Lift up your hands and let’s give God thanks for His word.
ALTAR CALL.
