Tonight visit Your children, before the sun rises everybody here present and all those who are listening all over the world, before the sun rises again let all of us sing a new song.
Let this be a night of Signs and Wonders. Do something in our lives you have never done before and at the end of it all let your name be glorified.
Thank you Almighty God in Jesus mighty name we have prayed.
I want you to shake hands with about three or four people and tell them God will surprise you tonight, then you may put your hands together for the Almighty God
Any time a miracle took place, Jesus would ask them "do you believe I can do this?" If they say "yes we believe", then He will turn to them and say "be it unto you according to your faith". Or He will say your faith had made thee whole.
Tonight without any doubt God is here.
How do i know?
He says where two or three are gather in My name I will be there, here we are more than two or three so I know He is here.
Second reason i know He is here is because when He called me to full time ministry He said "Son where you go I will go with you.
So He is here right now. So God is here, by the grace of God I am here, I am ready. By His grace He has prepared me for tonight.
Now the question is are you ready? When do you want your miracle? When we come back in January? When do you want your miracles? Be it unto you according to your faith.
All I am going to do in the next few minutes is to encourage your faith to grow, as soon as I have done that the rest is between you and God and I am sure you will never forget tonight.
Isaiah 7 v 14 Therefore the Lord Himself shall give you a sign, behold a virgin shall conceived and bear a son and shall call his name Emmanuel.
Tonight we want to talk briefly on Signs and Wonders.
Now what is a Sign?
A sign is an evidence - that what you claim to be is true. Pharaoh said in Exodus 5 v 1 -2 he said I don't who is the Lord, I am not going to let Israel go. Then God said alright I will give you a sign; I will kill all the first born in the land of Egypt in one night and then maybe you will still say I don't know you.
Exodus 12 v 29- 32 after God
has shown Pharaoh a sign he is the one who begged Israel to please go.
And I am prophesying to someone straight away all the Pharaohs who says you will not go, God will show them a sign.
Nebuchadnezzar said in Daniel 3 v 14-15 he said to Shadrach , Meshach and Abednego, if you don't bow and worship my idol, i will throw you into the fiery furnace and who is that God that will deliver you out of my hand.
So God showed him a sign, in Daniel 3 v 24-29 the same Nebuchadnezzar said there is no God like the God of Meshach, Shadrach and Abednego.
As the Lord lives before the end of this month, all those who have been saying where is your God? They will come and bow and say there is no God like your God.
Now what is a Wonder?
A friend of mine once said a wonder is that which causes you to wonder. In other words, a wonder is a miracle so big that your mouth will fall open involuntarily.
In Act 3 v 1 - 10 when a man who has been lame for forty years suddenly began to leap, to walk and to praise God, everybody in the church began to look at him with amazement.
I am decreeing right now to everyone of you here tonight and those of you who are listening all over the world, God will turn you to a wonder.
So as we see in this passage, he said the Lord himself will give you a sign and the sign He will give is that a virgin will conceive and bear a son.
And when you say a virgin will conceive the first thing that will come to anybody's mind is impossible! So God says I will give you a sign by making the impossible possible.
In the name that is above every other name, in the life of everyone here tonight and all of you who are hearing my voice, every impossibility will become possible tonight.
Now the life of any man can be broken into three compartments:
Physical,
Social and
Spiritual.
Tonight I want to encourage you to increase your faith in the various compartment of a man's life so that you can grab the God of wonders and go with your own wonder tonight.
When God said to Abraham in Genesis 18 v 9 -14 that a ninety year old woman would bear a son, Sarah laughed because inside her she was saying impossible.
But there is a God who doesn't want to hear the word impossible, as a matter of fact the moment he hears the word impossible he rises on his throne and said let me show you a sign.
Whenever somebody tells you that your case is impossible, begin to rejoice because there is a God in heaven with whom nothing shall be impossible.
If He can make a virgin to conceive then what is the problem about a woman who is married? After all she has a man. And I am talking about a God who can produce children out of stones.
According to Mathew 3 v 9 He can produce children from stones, so if you are here tonight and the doctors have told you like they told the lady who testified earlier on; that one of your tube is not working and there is even something in your body that will not allow you to conceive and you saw her carrying a set of twins, then that should tell you there is still a God on His throne who can make the impossible possible.
Some of you who are here, you are here when a sister was sharing her testimony, the doctors have told her she can never carry a baby till nine months, they said the womb was too small so latest five month the baby must come down, she wrote we prayed and God told me she would have her child.
And I wrote back to her and that month she became pregnant, this time she carried this thing to maturity and when the time came to deliver she gave birth to four at a time; two boys and two girls from a womb that they say cannot carry one, the Almighty God put four there.
There is somebody here today that which they say is impossible will become possible tonight in Jesus name.
So when God says I will make a virgin conceive He is saying anyone who is barren here tonight can also have their own wonders before they go. Now a virgin conceiving is totally unscientific, it is beyond science and medicine and so a virgin conceiving should tell somebody that doctors have called incurable is very easy with the One who can make the virgin conceive, because this is a God that is not controlled by science and medicine.
Thank you father, the Lord says there is someone here tonight, he said every word coming towards you tonight is not a prophecies but a decree.
John 9 v 32-33 the Bible tells us of a man who was born blind and Jesus opened his eye and people began to argue whether it happened or didn't happened. The man said since the world began, it has never been said, it has never been heard that somebody opened the eye of someone born blind.
There is someone who can open the eye of the blind, there is someone who can make the virgin conceived, that someone is here tonight. So I want to ask you a question; have you a physical problem? Do you believe that the God of wonders can solve that problem? If you believe, be it unto you according to your faith.
The second aspect of a man's life is the social aspect, that is when you begin to talk about career, promotion, getting married and things like that.
But they all come down basically to one underline factor. And that has to do with material wellbeing.
Why do I want to rise to the top in my position of work? Because if I get to the top the salary will be different. They asked a young man not too long ago, why are you not getting married? he said "there is no money in my pocket".
Making the virgin conceive actually means producing something out of nothing. There is a God who can produce water out of the rock according to Exodus 17 v 1-6 He brought water out of the rock.
There is God who can take the last and turn it to the first. You know the story of the widow of Zarephath in 1king... There is a God who can take the little you have and keep on multiplying it. He has done it before in 2king 4 v 1 -7 He told the widow to keep on pouring the little oil that she had and it will keep on flowing until there is no more room to contain it.
This God who can multiply the little and turn it to much, this God who can produce something out of nothing, He is here tonight and He is now asking you, do you have a financial problem? Do you believe that this God of wonders can solve that problem? Do you believe? If you believe, be it unto you according to your faith.
I have told you the story of my father in the Lord when he was alive, when things were very hard and he went to God in prayer and God told him the pot of stew that your wife has just prepared; tell her to keep ditching from it every day, not looking into the pot. Just keep on ditching it.
For days mama will ditch; today it is beef, tomorrow it is chicken, the following day it will be goat meat. She kept on ditching until one day curiosity overcame her and she looked into the pot and the pot became empty.
Now i know you don't believe that, you don't think it can happen, be it unto you according to your faith.
But I have also told you the story of what happened to me, they didn't tell me it happened to me. I went to preach in Onitsha and was returning, I got to Asaba there was no fuel, I said no problem.
I will get fuel when I get to Benin. I got to Benin no fuel, I said no problem. I will get fuel in Ore, I got to Ore no fuel, by now my tank was reading reserve.
Almighty God what do I do? It was Sunday evening and I must go to my lectures on Monday morning in Lagos.
And the Lord spoke to me and said son, take your eye off the gauge and drive on. And i drove all the way on reserve for ore till i parked in my house in Surulere. There is a God who can bring something out of nothing.
Is there anybody here tonight who is in need of a major financial breakthrough, and you believe that the God of wonders can do it for you, be it unto you according to your faith.
Thank you Father, the Lord said there is someone here tonight, He said you have been hearing of something called a new song, He said you will sing your own very soon.
Daddy says I should tell somebody tonight, He said don't be afraid, you are not going to die you are going to complete the assignment I have given you.
The Lord says there is someone here tonight, He said it is my grace that brought you to where you are, my grace will take you to where I want you to be.
The Lord said there is someone here tonight, He said you need just one more miracle for your joy to be full, He said you will get it tonight.
The Lord said there is someone here tonight, He said the night has been much longer than you expected, He said wait till you see what I have for you in the morning.
The Lord asked me to tell someone here tonight, He asked me to make your dream much bigger than they are now, He said because I will fulfill all of them.
Now the third aspect of a man's life is the spiritual aspect.
Almost everything we do in this world is controlled by spirit, the spiritual controls the physical. Before trouble came to Job, there was something that happened in the spiritual.
There was a meeting between God and the devil where they discussed him. It was their discussion that brought all kind of problems to Job, some of us are where we are today because of some certain spiritual forces.
A blessing is a spiritual force, when your parents bless you, spiritually they are sending assistance to you. I have always told you, that I am where I am today by the grace of God and by the prayer of my mother.
Anytime I did something that pleased her when I was very small, she would say to me, you this boy you will call one person, two hundred will answer. I didn't understand what that meant. How can I call one fellow and two hundred will answer? But today if I say pastor come; and I didn't mention the name of the pastor, how many people do you think will come running?
Well I am your father in the Lord maybe I should use this opportunity to make pronouncement.
I say to you who are my true children, from now on you will call one person two hundred will answer.
Just as a blessing is a spiritual force, a curse is also a spiritual curse. I don't want to go into all the details about that, but one thing is clear, the God who can make the virgin conceived has a spiritual ability that can deal with all spirit.
In Mark 5 v 1-20 we see the story of the mad man of Gadarean, the devil knew that this man had a glorious destiny , that the plan of God for that fellow is to be an evangelist. He sent six thousand demons to bind him up. But one day the Almighty God who can do all things came, overcome all the demons and restored the destiny of this man.
Do you belief that whatever may be your spiritual problem, the God of wonders can solve them, do you believe? Be it unto you according to your faith.
If we ask you, can the shadow of a fisher man heal? You will say impossible, but ask Peter. Can the handkerchief of a lawyer cast out demons? You will say how come? Ask Paul.
Can the handkerchief of a mathematician produce signs and wonder, you will say how come? But you have heard testimonies. You will hear testimonies; you will share your own testimonies too.
Thank you Father, the Lord said there is someone here tonight, He said you have wept for months, he asked me to tell you that you will laugh for years.
The Lord said there is someone here today, He said in your family in the year that is coming, there will be more than one thanksgiving service.
The Lord said there is someone here this night, He said you have enjoyed miracles up till now, He said get ready for wonders.
The Lord asked me to tell those of you who are here tonight, He said He is going to release unique miracles to seventy of you.
When He said seventy, so I feel that I can try and negotiate. Do you know what a unique miracle is, it is a miracle that had never happened before and will never happen again. Seventy of you,
how many of you think you will be one of them? Be it unto you according to your faith.
Please listening carefully, God is talking to one particular person, please listen carefully.
The Lord said "your cry has always been God, make me your divine treasure". He ask me to tell you, He is offering you a deal tonight, please listening carefully, this is very important. He said within the next six month he will double your fortune and you yourself knows that this can a only happen by God. Now here is the deal and listen carefully he said fifty percent of the increase you must return it to Him. He said this will be the test to find out whether you are a really ready for great things.
Whoever that fellow is, we will see within the next six month.
Now Luke 1 v 34- 37 Mary was born, she is now a virgin young woman and God was about to fulfilled the prophecy that He gave through Isaiah and so the Angel came and told her" woman you are now going to have a boy and...
Thank you Father, the Lord ask me to tell someone in particular, He said you will understand that the tied is already turning.
So the Angel told Mary, you are that virgin the prophet is talking about you are going to have a baby boy, He is going to be the Son of the Most High and so on and so forth.
Then Mary said how can this be? I don't know a man and the angel said the Holy Ghost. It is the Holy Ghost that is going to perform the wonder in your life.
You see there are certain things when God said He is going to do something, it is so big that your mind cannot even contain it. How will it happen? Not by power, not by might but by Spirit said the Lord of host.
Through the power of the Holy Spirit, everything your heart desires you will receive it tonight in Jesus name.
Thank God of the testimony of that young man, I was seating down there, the choir was rehearsing, they were about to finish and I saw a little action towards my right.
I saw a woman pushing a man in a wheel chair, she wanted to come to where I was seating, the guard said no way. Suddenly the Lord spoke to me, "ask him to be brought", so I said bring him, I called the one standing by me, go and bring that man and they brought him.
I didn't pray, I just did what God asked me to do. I laid my hand on him and I said the desire of your hands is granted you. Whatever that desire is and I left. And he got up immediately! You heard his testimony.
May I raise my hand towards you and say to all you who are here, whatever may be the desire o your heart receive it right now in Jesus name.
Who qualify for signs and wonders?, Mary was a virgin not a harlot. She was pure, she was holy.
Matthew 7 v 6 says you don't cast pearls before swine. People like Daniel, Shadrach, Meshach and Abednego who got signs and wonder kept themselves pure.
People have asked me why do you keep hammering on holiness? Holiness is the master key.
That is the master key to signs and wonder.
That is why I want to encourage you tonight, because you are going to pray in a moment and whatever prayer you pray here tonight, God is going to answer it. Be it unto you according to your faith.
Before we pray, get out of your sins! Give your life to Jesus Christ, let His blood wash you clean, let His blood wipe away your sins and then you can cry to him and he will hear.
David said if I regard iniquity in my heart, the Lord will not hear me, the Bible says the Hand of the Lord is not shorten that He cannot save, neither is His Ear is heavy that He cannot hear, but He said sin can block the way between you and your God, that even when you are crying, He won't hear, if He doesn't hear, how can he answer?
That is why i want to call those of you who have not given your life to Jesus Christ to come forward now, that is why we have arranged in the inside the auditorium several mini altars, they are about thirty six of them scattered all over.
Each one has a flag on top of it, so when I say come to the Altar, just go to the nearest of the altars to you and there the ministers of God will attend to you.
When I am praying for those who come to the front, the prayer will reach you there, so I am going to count from one to ten I am telling you in the mighty name of Jesus Christ, things are going to change from tonight.
So if you want to give your live to Jesus, come now, as you come begin to pray, begin to talk to Jesus Christ, ask Him to save your soul, ask Him to forgive you your sins, promise Him that from now on you will live for Him.
He will become your Lord and Savior. Begin to talk to Him, ask Him to be merciful unto you, ask Him to cleanse you in His blood, tell Him from now on you will serve Him.... in Jesus mighty name we have prayed.
Savior I want to thank you 1 want to thank you for your word and I want to thank you for all these your children who are standing before the various altars.
You promised Lord that whosoever will come unto You, You will in no wise cast out. These Your children have come now, please receive them in Jesus name. Forgive all their sins in Jesus name, let Your blood wipe away all their sins in Jesus name, save their souls and write their names in the book of life in Jesus name.
Tonight Father, give them their own signs and wonders and anytime they call upon you, Father answer them by fire and let them serve you till the end, in Jesus mighty name we have prayed. Amen.
All of you in the various altars, I want you to listen to me carefully, I want to thank God for what He has done in your life I want to promise you that from now on I will be praying for you, so I am going to need your name, your address and your prayer request and I promise you I will be praying for you.
So the counselors will give you cards where you are now, please fill them before you go back to your seat.
