Under lock down, we were doing induction!
Under #ENDSARS protest, we were doing induction
“In our Church, they don’t see vision to people”…with all the word you are hearing, you are still toying with nonsense?
* It takes a blind man to require a guide!
* I got saved at 15, I wasn’t a victim of this chaff.
* As God begins to bless you, those devouring agents will start gathering, to see how to derail your life. BE SMART!!!
* Most of the time, we are the barriers on our own path.
UNDERSTANDING HOW PRAISE FACILITATES FULFILLMENT OF PROPHECIES.
It is understanding that makes any engagement outstanding. How much understanding we have of an issue is what determines how outstanding the outcome of this will be (Proverbs 21:16, Proverbs 4:7).
Are you glad that social distancing is now over? Give the Lord a big hand of praise.
Are you glad that churches can now open to their full capacity in every part of this State?
– The same way, everything that is closing against this State is declared re-opened.
– Whatever is not working in this place begins to work from now.
Please note: prophecy is the unveiling of God’s plan and purpose for us as individuals, as a people, as a nation. Scripturally there are two main sources of prophecies:
First is the Word, the Bible which is defined as a more sure word of prophecy (2 Peter 1:19-21).
Secondly from prophets sent our way. God is still sending prophets the way of people today (Luke 4:25-27). Those testimonies you are hearing, they are testimonies of people who received the prophetic word and engaged with it: either direct from scriptures as the Word is taught or from their God-sent prophet (Matthew 10:41, Deuteronomy 18:22).
We are all witnesses today of how much God has said has come to pass in our lives and in our midst; to Him alone be all the glory.
As a Church we have experienced a very strange dimension of ‘Breaking Limit’ in our Church planting endeavours. What we didn’t see in 10 years, what we didn’t see in 15 years, we have seen in one year.
– Somebody’s story is changing.
There is a clear indication that the ‘Breaking Limit’ agenda is not a wish. No. It’s an agenda and deliverable to whosoever believes and that includes you. It’s not just that it is happening but it is happening without stress.
Deuteronomy 18:21-22
Before God, my idea was to consolidate the Church planting of last year this year and then God stepped in, said, “No.” That’s why I would always say, He said, “He will plant 10,000 Churches”
Who? God. I won’t say that. I won’t and if I did, by the time COVID-19 lock down began I would adjust it. But He said, “He will plant Himself 10,000 churches this year.” I didn’t ask Him, “How?”
He has more means than anybody can deliver.
How are you going to get the people? He (God) got them.
We are starting brand new ones this morning. I’m sure by next week, we are done with the 10,000 (new Churches). Isn’t God awesome?
Under lock down, we were doing induction!
Under #ENDSARS protest, we were doing induction!
We concluded induction again on Friday. The men took over their territories yesterday and Jesus is taking over those villages today. Give the Lord praise.
Luke 1:45
There is what you and I will do this week that will turn it, that will deliver it.
I’ve had access to places this year that there is no way I could gain access to such places in the next 20 years by my own efforts. If I tell where they are listening to what I’m saying now around the world, you will be shocked but let me spare you all that. Praise God.
Awesome God. When He said, ‘Breaking limits’, He is the Author of languages and He is not trying to impress anybody.
*Your ‘Breaking Limits’ package is a reality, you must take delivery by your raw vibrant obedience. You must take delivery!!!
Just like that my daughter, stop counting days: “I’ve been in Winners’ for…before Papa came.”
It won’t change your story. She has been part of this Ministry since 1996. The Holy Ghost said to her, “You have not been faithful in your Kingdom advancement endeavours. You are just lost in the crowd and singing the chorus. You are not there. You have all the prayer points, you have not prayed any! Show me now, who you have led to Christ?” Her spirit came alive. With 100 Naira into the year 2020, living in an uncompleted building, in spite of those ordeals, dived into obedience and Jesus turned her story.
One of us said, “I laid down my pastoral title and I said, it’s time to work.” Everything turned for him.
My team has brought in over 44,000 to Jesus this year. I have 23 on my payroll that are foot soldiers along with me, I’m having real good time. We took delivery of 20 computer sets, brand-new to cope with the number of people we are dealing with. Not yesterday, it’s a lifestyle.
*I pray that your crown, another man will not take.
There is nothing this short man has said concerning this nation that is not true. Everybody is saying it now. When I was saying it then, I was strange. They have seen it but mercy will bail us out.
Can I assure you this before the Lord:
– Every Word spoken to you for the year 2020, (except you are not interested, except you won’t obey Him, you are just not in the crowd); they will all come to pass.
God is not benefitting from your obedience neither is your prophet benefitting from it, it’s all directed at you.
– May your portion never get lost.
Very quickly this morning, because we are going to praise Him, we are going to shout, we are going to dance and we are going to see God in action. You are going to see God in action.
Prophecies are not religious wishes, they are the unfolding of God’s plan for our lives.
People are bothered, “why are they always speaking good things?”
Joshua 21:45
“There failed not ought of ANY GOOD THING which the LORD had spoken unto the house of Israel; all came to pass.”
We serve a good God, He speaks good things (John 10:10, Isaiah 44:26). God’s prophets are carriers of good news. God speaks good things because He is a good God (Psalm 118:1). If you will truly love Me, I will set you as a wonder to your world, for them that love Him among the redeemed (1 Corinthians 2:9).
Most of those humbling testimonies, I never met them, they never met me: It’s about your relationship with God. Just jealously guard it, you are going somewhere and you will get there.
…ALL CAME TO PASS (Joshua 21:45). He is not a man that He should lie.
Isaiah 14:24
Every prophecy is a sworn verdict.
Remember, God speaks according to Himself not according to us.
My integrity is committed, I’m not speaking according to what you can do, I’m speaking according to what I will do. He (God) speaks according to Himself and not according to us (Genesis 22:16-17).’
Until a prophetic word is received, it never gets fulfilled. In the parable of the sower, Jesus said, “the seed is the Word of God” (Luke 8:11). Until it enters into the good and honest heart of a believer, it can never bear fruits. Every prophetic word that will see the light of day in our lives must be received into our good and honest hearts to bear fruits (Luke 8:15).
The question is, “How do I know the prophetic Word that I have received? How do I know when I have received a prophetic Word?”
Think of this first, no matter how precious a seed is, until it is sown it cannot bear fruits. No matter how valid a prophetic Word, until it is received into your heart, your good and honest heart, it will never get fulfilled. Remember, God’s Word is defined as the incorruptible seed (1 Peter 1:23). You can’t destroy it. When you receive it into your good and honest heart, it’s only a matter of time, it will bear fruits, it will get fulfilled.
HOW DO I KNOW WHEN I HAVE RECEIVED A PROPHETIC WORD?
1. Every prophetic word received ignites hope on your inside (Romans 4:17-18). Every prophetic word genuinely received ignites hope within you, the circumstances notwithstanding. When you received the Word, you are already living in the reality of it.
1982: At the base of this ministry, a tent shall be built that will seat 50,000 people. You know why we wrote it down? We believed it. Why we circulated it? We believed it.
Are we in it or not?
Every prophetic word you genuinely receive keeps hope alive in you.
2. Every prophetic word that you truly receive does not only keep hope alive, it also stimulates joy and rejoicing (Jeremiah 15:16).
Psalm 119:162. Joy and rejoicing are characteristics of people who have received the prophetic word concerning them.
Please know that until the Word is received, it will never get fulfilled.
*If you truly receive the ‘Breaking Limits’ prophetic word, watch out. This month is the run-off. It will be delivered raw in your life.
ABRAHAM: AN EXAMPLE OF PROPHECY FULFILLED THROUGH PRAISE.
A prophetic Word went forth to Abraham concerning the birth of his son promise (Genesis 17:4-8). He changed his name to re-emphasize, “you are a father, you are not childless.” Then a word came in Genesis chapter 18 verse 10, “…according to the time of life, Sarah shall embrace a son”. Then we jump to Genesis chapter 21 verse 1, “and the Lord visited Sarah as He had said,”
What happened? What provoked that visitation?
…but was strong in faith, giving glory to God; that provoked that divine visitation that brought forth Isaac (Romans 4:20).
Sarah said, “who would have thought that Sarah would give suck to a child, but God has made me to laugh” (Genesis 21:7,6).
*Many shall be made to laugh this month. If you are one of such, let me hear your loudest Amen!
Because you are going to provoke divine visitation through high praises.
– Your concerns will be turned to testimonies.
– Your obstacles will be turned to miracles.
– The mockery of men shall be turned to double glory in your life in the name of Jesus Christ.
Genesis 21:1-2
*Your ‘Breaking Limit’ has a 2020 set time. 2020 is that set time.
He said, “He will plant 10,000 churches in the year 2020” and we saw Him doing it.
But we took steps. Show me your faith without your works, I will show you my faith by my works (James 2:18).
We took steps, practical steps: we began to announce, enlist pastors. We began to check out on locations across the nations where we have no presence. We began to coordinate, did inductions, we took steps.
One step you must take this time is your Kingdom Advancement Results, not endeavours! You must get results.
I said, “get 10 souls”, you are doing as if you are not concerned, when will God be concerned about your package?
Pray Kingdom advancement prayers: you are not praying. Who are you ashamed of in your house that you can’t pray?
You are only demonstrating that you are not interested in the package.
God: Hello, I have ‘Breaking Limits’ package for you.
Response: carry your ‘Breaking Limits’ package and go; I’m okay.
That’s what you are saying. Can any Pastor go on leave in this place, with the churches we are planting? No. Everybody on his toes. We allocated number of Churches to be planted by each state, so the State Pastors and their team are working day and night; travelling to check, “how far is the other church from here?”
Nothing of value is free, you can’t get at your ‘Breaking Limits’ package sitting down.
That my daughter woke up, she had been sleeping, 1996! Business was not working, she was sleeping! She comes to church anyway, she has her tag on: a frontline member of a service group. That’s not an excuse!
You were told in January, “get 10 souls”, this is November, you can’t point to one.
You can’t treat God’s word with levity and expect Him to treat you with dignity. You can’t.
I couldn’t hold my usual outreaches because of the gathering of people, which is now over anyway, praise God. Awesome God but there is always a way out. I said, “Jesus there must be a way out to reaching people” and Jesus began to reach them.
Somebody’s story is changing. I have never seen one year when God said one thing that it didn’t come through in this Church. But to come through in your life, you have to take personal responsibility, to come through in my life, I have to take personal responsibility.
Therefore to see prophecies fulfilled, we must remain strong in faith, giving glory to God like Abraham did. No matter how stinking that situation may be, when Jesus stepped in, Lazarus came out. Jesus stepped in, Lazarus stepped out of the grave.
*Jesus is stepping into your life and affairs this month and you are coming out of any stinking situation.
*Whether it has to do with you, your business or your children: you are stepping out of every stinking situation in the name of Jesus Christ.
BREAKING INVISIBLE BARRIERS
I want us to know that we have the redemptive rights to clear the invisible barriers off our paths of destiny as individuals. We have that responsibility (Isaiah 52:1-3, 1 John 4:4, 1 John 5:4). You are redeemed to live an overcomer’s life, so barriers cannot stand and survive on your path.
Invisible barriers are real (Matthew 13:24-28). We can clear them off our paths by engaging as follows:
1. Become a child of light and remain so. God is light (1 John 1:5). Every child of God is a child of light (1 Thessalonians 5:5). The barriers are the powers of darkness, as you become a child of light and remain so, darkness can’t stop the way against you (John 1:50. It’s not enough to be born again, you must remain so; otherwise the barriers will keep recouping, regathering and blocking your way forward.
It’s not enough to be a child of light, we must remain a child of light to keep the invisible barriers off our paths.
*From today, no barrier will survive on your path anymore.
2. We must keep walking in the light of the Word (Ephesians 5:8, Psalm 119:130). Keep walking in the light of scriptures and no barrier can survive on your path.
I once shared a testimony here: the enemy cornered us on a narrow bridge in the night and we got on that bridge to discover that another lorry had entered at the other end of the bridge and there was no way this bridge could take 2 vehicles. Suddenly light came down from heaven, “and He will give His angels charge over you, to keep you in all your ways” (Psalm 91:11-12). With that light, the natural fear to dive into the river and perish there was gone because light will always shatter darkness. Sir, how we passed that bridge, we will only know it in Heaven. There was no brushing, there was nothing but we passed.
You want to clear barriers? Keep walking in the light of the Word.
My wife said, “she had miscarriage” and I’d already gotten a Word from the Lord, long before we got married, that I used to minister to someone who was barren for 18 years.
“IT CANNOT HAPPEN!, Can I have my food please?” The miscarriage was cancelled.
You want to clear barriers, keep walking in the light of scriptures.
Our last daughter was accosted the spirit of death and then four scriptures came, engaged with them: liberated.
You want to mess up barriers on your path, keep walking in the light of scriptures.
You know why we don’t stress about things here: “the silver is mine and the gold is mine saith the Lord…” (Haggai 2:8-9).
The glory of the latter house shall be greater than the former. It’s not in the pocket of any man: the silver is mine, the gold is mine, go ahead my son. No matter the enormity of the project, “go ahead my son. I have the silver, I have my budget. Go ahead.”
– The light of scriptures clear obstacles from your path, you won’t suffer and struggle anymore.
It is written first, it is written second, it is written…third and then satan left Him.
3. Keep walking by faith for we walk by faith and not by sight (2 Corinthians 5:7, 1 John 5:4). Faith is never late (John 11:39-40)
Nothing seems to be like it but faith is never late.
We were still roofing this place by July 1999, faith is never late; “I built the world in 6 days, I won’t need 2 months to finish an ordinary building: 2 months too much.” Faith is never late.
Faith gains command every time it comes alive. There is no go up and down. Faith gains command whatever time it comes alive.
…by now he stinketh, stop that my friend. Only 4 days, that’s not an issue (John 11:39-40).
Faith is never late. In case the devil has made you to start giving up on your package, let your faith come alive, keep walking by faith. Whatever is born of God overcomes the opposition, the barriers, the resistances and that by faith (1 John 5:4).
I will tell you why I’m doing this: a prophet comes in and bailed you out. That’s not the end. The devil regathers again and you are alone where you are, you must know what to do!
Keep walking by faith (Ephesians 6:16).
4. Keep serving God and the interest of His Kingdom (Exodus 23:25-26) – when God blesses no devil can reverse it. Serving God clear the curses off your path; blessings are the cure for curses.
He gave them rest round about because they entered int a covenant to serve God (2 Chronicles 15:12,15)
*God is clearing the barriers round about your life in the name of Jesus Christ.
Job 36:11
*The barriers on your path are cleared off.
5. Be committed to a life of prayer and fasting (Matthew 17:21). You can clear off the barriers on your path through the mystery of prayer and fasting (Isaiah 58:6-14). It’s not what we do when we like, it’s our routine, “…when ye fast; when ye pray” (Matthew 6:17-18, 7).
6. Keep speaking boldly against all unwanted situations (Romans 10:10, Psalm 18:44,45)
The strangers must hear before they will fade away.
A young man came to our office 1983, he said, “he was hearing noise all over his room.” I said you are too silent. When you say, “praise the Lord, Hallelujah”, you won’t hear those voices again. He smiled, went back home and the voices left.
You are too quiet to command triumph.
You hear me say, “1 billion demons can’t stand on my way”: I’m not making mouth, I’m engaging the covenant of scriptures and it has been so all these years.
Your mouth is a weapon of war (Luke 21:15, Psalm 81:10-14). You have to open your mouth to clear the barriers on your path.
If you will say to this mountain, get out of there my friend, what are you doing there? You shall have whatsoever you say, NOT what you think, what you say (Mark 11:23).
– Receive grace to engage with that mystery right now. Somebody’s story is changing.
– There is nothing in the honour that comes from men when compared to the honour that comes from God.
– When honour comes from God, forget about the devil, it remains. Forget about any devil, witches, principalities and powers. Forget about gang-ups of men, it will come to naught.
– When God honours a man, the man is honoured. When God honours a woman, the woman is honoured.
– Human honour is temporal but God’s honour is eternal. You won’t miss that.
What you say, you create after the order of your father (Mark 11:23). When you speak, your word is as creative as the word of your Father God, calling those things that be not as though they were for them to come to be (Romans 4:17).
They can’t come to be without calling them out. You call them forth and they come to be. God called light forth and light came to be. He called the fishes forth and they emerged in the waters. He called the fowls up and they appeared in the air. He called the animals forth and they walked on the planet earth.
What you don’t call will never answer! Open your mouth wide and I will fill it.
7. Engage in praise as a lifestyle (Psalm 22:3, Psalm 24:7-10). When you are in praise, you are in God and all gates lift up their heads for you.
Barriers can’t stand on the path of God and praise is what brings you and God together in any situation (Psalm 114:3). Praise is God’s natural habitat. When you are in praise, you have come into a company with God and whatever can’t stand on the path of God can’t stand on your path (2 Chronicles 20:22).
– In the praise moment of today, my God will set ambushment against your enemies and they shall all smitten.
Please note that we must receive and believe in the ministry of the prophet sent our way.
Also note that God still sets people free from the shackles of the wicked through the ministry of the prophets today (Hosea 12:13).
– Anyone that has been held bound by the devil and have been besieged by invisible barriers, you are coming out this morning.
While anointed prophets can clear the barriers off our paths, we must take responsibilities as individuals to keep the barriers off (Matthew 12:43-45).
The ball is now in your court to keep the barriers off permanently.
Not to toy with any work of darkness, not to seek alternatives to God, not to have some professional prophets that speak to your life from the devil. Run from the devil. You have a duty, not to be organizing prayer meetings where they will be prophesying lies to another.
I got saved at 15, I wasn’t a victim. What’s your problem?
Come to Church in the morning, calling one baba in the evening. What’s your problem?
“Sponsoring prophets”: any prophet that needs sponsorship is not of God. Prophets are helpers of people to whom they are sent.
They roam around your house, roam around your place: Yes, come Baba.
“Well, I just saw something. One of your children is under attack from the water spirit”
You shall know the truth and the truth shall MAKE you FREE (John 8:32).
Look sir, as God begins to bless you, those devouring agents will start gathering, to see how to derail your life. BE SMART!!!
Most of the time, we are the barriers on our own path.
“In our Church, we don’t do deliverance”. So what are we doing? Captivity! Because I don’t understand what you are talking about!
“In our Church, they don’t see vision to people” – “my son, don’t travel tomorrow. You know why? There are some women behind your father’s house. You know them now. Ehenn, 1 short one and 1 tall one.” That’s what they call vision.
It takes a blind man to require a guide. With your eyes open, my friend, as a bona fide child of God who has answered to the voice of God, what are you looking for?
I got saved at 15, I wasn’t a victim of this chaff. With all the word you are hearing, you have done BCC in Bible school, LDC, LCC, LEL…and you are still toying with nonsense? It’s not done.
Lift up your right hand and give God thanks because the barriers are off your path.
There are also members who worship here and there, who sit down to start distributing prophecies to people. Are you following!
They see you going to your car, “please come. As you were passing, God just spoke to me.” What did you hear in Church, who was speaking to you in Church?
They will just confuse your life because you are not diligent, you are not vigilant, that’s why!
I’ve not been forced to do anything in my life sir, no matter what you say, I listen to God’s Word to see how much it aligns to it. Somebody’s story is changing.
To see the barriers cleared, you must become a child of light. Darkness can’t clear darkness. You want to clear darkness off your path, you must become a child of light. Being born again is not just being in Church, it’s becoming a child of light that darkness fears and clears the way for you.
Altar call
I’ll like you to give Jesus that fighting dance, as you give him that fighting dance, He will beautify any ugly area of your life
– Somebody’s beauty is coming forth.
– Somebody’s dance in these few minutes will deliver his miracle job.
– Somebody’s dance in these few minutes will deliver his God ordained spouse.
– Somebody’s dance will establish his ‘Breaking Limits’ agenda in the name of Jesus Christ.
We are engaging in Praise Warfare to provoke divine intervention that will deliver our ‘Breaking Limits’ package in every area of interest, in the name of Jesus.
For it is written, “let the people praise ye…then shall the earth yield her increase”; whatever you have put into the earth since the year began will culminate in the delivery of your ‘Breaking Limit’ package.
I’ll like you to make this month your personal praise month. You may need to get some praise music tapes, to be able to dance fully instead of organizing the songs and all that…you are singing along with the song and you are dancing. You just engage on a personal note.
I’ve always shouted, you need to mind your personal walk with God. A lot of seeds have gone from you to the earth, they must yield their harvest.
As Abraham was praising God, God visited Sarah:
– You shall be visited!
Also we are in our last month of the 3 month Obededom season: we are in the last segment of it. This is ending by November 29th, so you have 28 days after today.
Mind God, mind His Word, engage with His instructions for it is your life.
The Lord said to me: there is a place for you on top if you are interested.
I said: I’m interested
Whatever I tell you to do, do it.
It’s your cheapest flight to the topmost top. Whatever He tells you to do, do it.
From living in an uncompleted building to a gorgeous estate, to business surging back to life. You entered the year with 100 Naira and everything turned; children doing well: by doing what God says to do.
Therefore, next Sunday, there shall be no room here. You will not only see people saved, you will ensure that they appear in God’s presence. You will ensure that they are established in the faith and your reward will come in the open.
GOOD NEWS:
By divine instruction, we are embarking Morning Prayer Raid across our Provincial and District centres. It is specially for our senior citizens, nursing mothers and those on the line for miracle jobs. You can engage with God and then expect Him to bring your turnaround package.
That’s from 8:00 am to 10:00 am.
We have Gospel Raid for everybody: on your way to work, on your way from work…if you need to wear slippers, wear slippers. Keep your shoes in your bag like women do and then you come back and wear your shoe; be an office man. There are places if you go there like this, they will think you are ‘wole wole’ (environmental health officer), you have come to catch them so they will flee from you. But when you appear like them, they will jump at you. I’ve never worn suit to any outreach in my life. The people that I’m going to, don’t need suit, my suit might scare them. I wear their own and we go together. By all means. Don’t stop at 10, keep moving until something turns because something must turn.
Evening Prayer Raid: 5:00 pm to 6:00 pm
Just be part of it. It will stir your spirit up and keep you engaging on a personal note on a more serious note.
We are in our mop-up operation and Jesus is going to honour it.
