Job 36:11 If they obey and serve Him, they shall spend their days in prosperity and their years in pleasure.
Tonight we want to believe God for financial breakthroughs. This is a special Holy Ghost Service for those of us who need financial breakthroughs. Those of you who are already lending to nations congratulations! Any extra that may come your way tonight, direct towards me. Those of us who are yet to reach that level of lending to nations I believe that tonight we will have our breakthroughs. (Amen!) Last year when we had something on financial break through I told you a story because of those of you who were not here last year I want to quickly repeat the story:
I visited a couple. They are my children and the wife entertained me. After eating she came to me and said, “Daddy, how was the food.” And as a good guest I said, “Oh, wonderful. Oh, good!” She said, “Daddy, I am your daughter – don’t do diplomacy with me! How was the food?” I said, “Good!” “If it is that good how come my husband is not eating at home?” “I see. You want the truth?” She said, “Yes.” “The whole truth? She said, “Yes.” “Nothing but the truth?” She said, “Yes.” I said, “In that case there are seven things wrong with the food. The meat is too tough. The pepper is too much. The salt is too much. The vegetable is one side. The water is on the other side. And so on and so forth!” After that she said, “Thank you Daddy. Now, you’ve told me the problem. What is the solution?” So I told her. :”Get pressure cooker. Use it to boil your meat. Always include fish in your stew so if the meat is too tough the poor man can eat the fish. And so on and so forth!” “Ah, thank you Daddy. Now I know you are my Daddy.”
A couple of weeks later the husband said, “Daddy, I don’t know what you told my wife but now her cooking had improved tremendously. Glory be to God! Tonight, how many of you want the truth? The whole truth? Nothing but the truth? Well then, let me hear you shout Alleluia! (Alleluia!)
Truth number one: Your tomorrow will be all right! (Amen!)
Truth number two: You will have a breakthrough tonight. (Amen!)
We want to talk about financial breakthroughs and I have no intention of telling you anything less than the absolute truth tonight. Whether you like it or not you are already here and it is already too late to run. I am going to give you the whole truth by the special grace of God.
You see the first thing you need to note is this: Whether you remain poor or become wealthy the choice is yours. The Bible says, in Deuteronomy 15:11 it said, there will always be poor people in the land. The poor will never cease out of the land. But it did not say Adeboye will be one of them. It said, there will always be poor people in the land and by the grace of God I will not be one of them.
Deuteronomy 28 verses 11 and 12. The Bible says there will always be the wealthy in the land - those who will be lending to nations who will never borrow. There will always be such people in the land. So there will always be the poor in the land there will always be the wealthy. The choice now is yours, but before you choose, remember, the Bible says in Proverbs 22 verse 7, it said that the borrower is the servant to the lender. He said the rich will always rule over the poor. “So you have to choose. Do you want to be the ruler or the ruled? Do you want to be the lender or the borrower? Do you want to spend the rest of your life as a servant? The choice is yours. There is no question of humility when it comes to whether you prosper or you don’t. A poor man is a servant and I refuse, I refuse to be a servant.
I have told you before. I have tasted both sides. I have tasted walking barefooted in the mud for the first eighteen years of my life. Now I have tasted walking with shoes on my feet whether it rains or it shines. I think one is better than the other. All of you who are messengers today, if you make up your mind you can be managers tomorrow. But if you say. “It is glorious to be poor, after all somebody has to be messenger, somebody has to pull the truck in the market...” then be it unto you according to your faith. But I refuse: say it loud and clear, I refuse to be poor.
Now that’s truth number one. Many of us Christians are even afraid to prosper. We believe that once we prosper we won’t go to heaven. May I tell you again, you may be the poorest man in the world, if you are not born again and you don’t live holy, you will still go to hell, so you will suffer here and suffer there. And you can be the richest man, if you are born-again and you live holy and you serve my God you will enjoy here and you will enjoy in heaven. I refuse to be poor! (I refuse to be poor!) In fact my family refuses to be poor. On your behalf we refuse to be poor.
Number two. It is the will of God for you to prosper so don’t insult God by choosing to be poor. Nothing in poverty will bring glory to God. God cannot be glorified in your wearing rags. Let me tell you. God is not glorified in your being a tenant. If your Father has mansions in heaven. He should be able to give you a bungalow at least here on earth. And believe me honestly as long as you are a tenant, the landlord can say, “I don’t want the Name of Jesus called in this my house.” But if the house is your own house. If you like you can turn every room to a chapel! I refuse to die a tenant! (I refuse to die a tenant!) Say it loud and clear.
The brother who spoke before me had already told you that the Bible says I wish above all things that you prosper and be in good health even as your soul prospers. He has told us Psalm 35 verse 27 that God has pleasure in the prosperity of His saints and the promise of God in Joel 2:26 (Thank You Father! the Lord says he’s opening the ears of someone. (Amen!)) God promised, He said you shall eat in plenty and be satisfied. Now listen brethren it is glorious to say, “Even though the house is full of food, I want to fast.” That’s glorious. But when there is no food in the house and you say you want to fast, you are not fasting! Glory be to God for ever more!
And don’t let anybody deceive you into thinking that God is on the side of the poor. If He is on the side of the poor, it is to get the poor out of their poverty. Because God himself is not a poor God, I know and you know there is an English proverb: show me your friends and I’ll tell you who you are. When Moses asked God, “Who are you sir?” in Exodus 3:15 God said, “I am the God of Abraham, God of Isaac and God of Jacob” So let’s check who is Abraham
Genesis 24:34 & 35 the Bible says, and he said, I am Abraham’s servant and the Lord has blessed my master greatly and he has become great and He has given him flocks and herds and silver and gold and menservants and maid servants and camels and cattle. Let’s read it in modern language – this is Adeboye’s translation. ‘And the Lord has blessed Abraham greatly and he has become great and He has given him flocks and herds and silver and gold and houseboys and housegirls and lorries and cars.’ Is that in your Bible, something similar? Amen. I am the God of Abraham. This Abraham had silver, gold, cows, field, means of transport….
Let’s look at Isaac - Genesis 26, let us read just verses 13 and 14, talking about Isaac: and the man waxed great and went forward and grew until he became very great for he had possession of flocks and possession of herds and great store of servants and the Philistines envied him. Isaac prospered so much that a whole nation envied him. I know there is somebody here tonight that by the time God had finished with you tonight, people will persecute you! Why? They will say, “How come? Are you the only one worshipping God? We turn right – your houses! We turn left – your houses! In Lagos, whole streets, your houses! In Ibadan, whole streets – your houses! London, you’ve bought half of the place. Are you the only one? How many of you will say, “Yes, I am the only one!”
Or let’s look at Jacob, Genesis 30 verse 43. And the man increased exceedingly and had much cattle and maidservants and menservants and camels and sheep. God said I am the God of Abraham, Isaac and Jacob – there is not a single poor one among the three. He is a God of the wealthy. Don’t let anybody deceive you. That’s the plain, plain, truth. If you walk with the poor, you end up being poor. That’s why if you are the only rich one in your family, you better do something about the family because the only rich man in the family is the head of the poor. My family refuses to be poor. Say it loud and clear!
Now it is the wish of God that you become rich – for several reasons. The work of God cannot be done without money. Do you think Lekki ’98 would have come to pass without money? It doesn’t matter how much vision we have. It doesn’t matter how many zealous children I have, it takes money to light up that place. You just can’t go there and say, “Well, God with you all things are possible – just send sun in the night. God will say, “Oh, no, no, that will alter the course of nature.. You want the lame to walk, I’ll do that; blind to see, that’s no problem. You want to light up that place go and get generators. God knows we need money to do the work of God and I know there are some of you here who want to do the work of God. I know some of you want to build churches for God. I know some of you want to buy buses for God. I know some of you if only you have the money you will buy a jet for Pastor Adeboye. Say, “Today, I decide. “(Today, I decide…) Come on say it with all your might! (Today I decide!) I will be wealthy.” (I will be wealthy!) So shall it be in Jesus’ Name (Amen!)
It is one thing for God to want you to prosper. Has He got the means to make you prosper? Oh, yes. He has what it takes to make everyone of us wealthy. All the money we need, to take over the whole world for Jesus Christ its down there under the ground. Some of it they call oil, another part they call gold. I’m sure many of you know that silver also comes from the ground. Diamond is from the ground. Iron is from the ground. Aluminum, everything they use in making all theses things they are from the ground. Not to talk about agriculture, everything from the ground. And Psalm 24 verse 1 says, the earth is the Lords and what? and the fullness thereof. Everything we need for all of us to be multi-millionaires, they are inside the ground...that is, let us assume, that whatever is already converted to naira and pounds, let us say we forget that one, what about those left over – reserves. Your share is there…I say your share is there, my share is there.
Not only that, in Isaiah 45:3 God promised, I will give to you, treasures of darkness. I will give to you hidden riches. There are certain riches that nobody’s going to discover until you are ready. Oh, once upon a time, diamond used to be very, very expensive and when they are talking about materials that you can convert to money they talk about silver, they talk about gold, now they came across something more precious than gold, I think they call it platinum. And then they discovered something more precious than platinum, I don’t even know the name and I know there are several others that my Father is hiding, saying what’s wrong with you my children, wake up so I can give this thing to you!
What about ideas? You’ll just sit down and have an idea…. If I add this to this. If I go this way, go this way, go this way. You will just keep your mouth shut and you will just go the way God said you should go. They will just look at you and say, “Wait a minute. How are you doing it?”
I told you an accountant who had an idea. “How long am I going to keep on saying ‘Yes sir, Yes, sir, Yes, Sir” God said He will prosper me. On this salary? How long? God give me an idea!” And God gave him an idea. But different type of groundnut. He will roast his own groundnut with honey. Today, he’s riding a jet. Selling groundnut. When the Almighty God gives you an idea, people will chase you they won’t catch you. I mean, your boss will not even be able to see the back of your head. All God has to do is command and blessings will come. He said it in Deuteronomy 28 verse 28 He said; “I will command blessings upon you. He will tell blessings, “Blessing whether you like it or not, go to the house of Adeboye and blessing will have to obey.
You know the story very well, the people asked Peter, “Does your master pay tax?” Jesus said to Peter, Don’t let us argue with them, take your hook, go to the river. The first fish that you catch, open its mouth you’ll find a gold coin there go and use it to pay the tax.” since when have you found a fish eating money? But Daddy commanded, “Fish, go and swallow a gold coin!” But wait a minute, where did he find a gold coin to swallow? We are not talking about you we are talking about the Almighty. He could say to the fish, that thing is a stone, swallow it any way, by the time it reaches your mouth it will become gold. My father who can make children out of rocks, He can tell rocks become gold. You can sell water and become the richest man in Nigeria. All my Father needs to do is command.
Not only did He ask the fish to swallow stone, He told the same fish, “a hook is coming, you must be the first one to catch it!” Your miracle is not going to miss you. (Amen!) Whether the devil likes it or not your miracle will not miss you. (Amen!) All my Daddy needs to do is command and He’s going to command today and blessings will begin to follow. He commanded and birds began to feed His prophet for almost a whole year. Bringing him bread! Birds love to eat bread, they love to eat bread. If you think they don’t love to eat bread go and throw your own before a chicken. And they love, ravens in particular, they love meat. But God says, “ This one that you are taking to Elijah, if you taste it you are dead!” And where did they get the bread from? There is an oven in heaven. Where did they get the meat from? Ahh, when you get to heaven you will discover! Wherever they are going to get your miracle from, they are bringing it in this month.
I’ve told you the story before. When we wanted to move into our house here in the camp: no windows, no doors and I’d already announced – October 1 we are moving! Ten days to go. No kobo in pocket. So the disciples gathered and I just told them, “I need a miracle, so pray.” Now if I had told them that I needed money,ahhh.. They would have gathered some money for me. But that will be ‘fine bara’, I’ll be begging, begging for money. I didn’t beg, I said I need a miracle. Pray that God will give me a miracle. God will give you your own miracles today in Jesus’ Name. (Amen!) So the children prayed and then we forgot about it. On Sunday when I got home……
……..notes and I thought it was full of fifty kobo notes because in those days we had fifty kobo notes. It was a small girl, she said, “Daddy, I was saving this money so I can travel abroad, but God said, I should give it to you.” I thought it was a small change.... So I took it from her, “If it is from God, God will bless you, you want to travel abroad, God will work it out.” So the girl jumped and rejoiced and went. I opened the envelope. Inside was five hundred naira. And that was a lot of money in those days. It was sufficient for all the work I wanted to do to move in.
So I got my miracle and then some weeks later the girl came to my office again. I thought she has come with another envelope. She said, Daddy, I’ve just returned from abroad.” How? She said the father of my friend came to her father and said please let your daughter travel with my daughter to England. We are going abroad and they are friends. I don’t want my daughter to be lonely there please let me take your daughter. God will command a blessing upon every one of you here tonight in Jesus Name!
When God commands, suddenly your last becomes your first. What you think is going to be the last meal, suddenly becomes the first meal. In 1 Kings 17 verse 8 to 16 you know the story, there was this widow who had only one last meal. Two pancakes separated her and her son from death but then a prophet came. “Give me those two pancakes.” She surrendered the pancakes. He finished the pancakes and said, “Now, go and get food ready for yourself and for your son because there will never be lack again in your house. When God gets involved in your finances. When you stop using your brain, thinking how do we manipulate God. Suddenly your last becomes your first.
I shared with some of my friends this story, I think it was 1983, our first convention at this campground. We were very poor in those days. We made the benches on credit because the carpenter happened to be one of us and we agreed when the convention is over we will settle. The convention in those days used to last ten days continuously. It was Thursday and I had only one thousand naira left and the crowd were still coming in. How am I going to feed these people with one thousand naira? I was on that.
I was thinking on that getting ready for miracle night, when the carpenter came in: “Daddy, my balance?” And we were still owing him one thousand naira. I almost said, “If you don’t get out of here I will kick you.” But as he got to the door God spoke to me and said, “Give him. Give him the money. If I didn't know my Daddy's voice I would have said, "Get thee behind me Satan!". But I know my Daddy’s voice so I called him and gave him the money. As he turned to go. I almost called him back. I almost said, “Don’t spend the money yet!” But I didn’t say so because God spoke to me again, “You can’t go to miracle service with a debt and in any case, I’m the one who will feed these people and there will be something left over when we’ve finished. I cannot tell you how He did it. But when the convention was over there was something left over and I’m saying to someone here tonight, “You will never borrow again.” (Amen!)
God has what it takes to make you wealthy. Remember He can bring water out of rock. The next thing you need to know. I’m just preparing you because I know something is about to happen tonight. Is that the spiritual controls the financial. I’m sure many of us already know that the spiritual controls the physical. But many of us don’t really believe that the spiritual also controls the financial.
But like the brother who spoke before me said, he told us, Deuteronomy 8:18, It is God who gives you power to get wealth. And when you read the story of Job, chapter one, all the way from verse one to verse ten, when God was bursting about Job to the devil. Have you observed my servant Job, righteous man, feareth God, escheweth evil, the Devil answered, verse 9-10, “Does Job fear God in vain? You made a hedge round about him” May God make a hedge round about you, “and all that he has? I can’t touch him even if I want to! You had blessed him and he had increased greatly!” May the Almighty God bless you, may you increase greatly (Amen).
In other words the Devil is saying, why won’t Job worship you Lord, You blessed him, he is great, because you are involved in his finances.” When you see somebody who is doing well, I’m talking on the side of the Lord, you can be sure God himself is the one doing the blessing.
Once in a while God can also be the one responsible for the hardship, the financial hardship you are having. I’m not the one who said so, He said so himself, in Haggai, chapter one verse five and six, He said, Consider your ways, consider your ways...because some of you are earning the salary and you are putting it into bags with holes. Who created the holes? You got the money all right – as soon as it enters into your pocket…”What happened to my money?” Every bag with holes, may the Almighty God seal tonight in Jesus Name. (Amen!)
In this same Haggai chapter one, He said, some people bring in the little and He said, He God blew it away. You earn the salary, you bring it in, you saw it all right, but He God blew it away. You see God is a good friend but He can be a very terrible enemy. If you read Joel 2 verses 25 & 26, after the children of Israel had repented, He said, “All right, now that you have repented, the locusts, the caterpillars, cankerworm, my army that I have sent against you, He said, I will stop them now.” That was after the people repented. In other words when the caterpillars were eating and devouring their products they didn’t even know that the caterpillars were an army sent by God.
Many of us who had been praying, “God, prosper me.” And God kept quiet. ”You devourers, get away from here!” And God kept quiet. I’ve told you before, if all the demons in Nigeria, if they send to all the demons in India, and other demons wherever they are, and they gather up against you, when you say: ”In the Name of Jesus, get out of my way!” They have to obey. But if it is an angel that God himself puts there…”You spirit, whatever your name, it is written, at the Name of Jesus every knee should bow so get out of the way!” He will look at you and say, “ I heard you but you see it is the same Jesus who asked me to stand here and I’m going to obey Him before I obey you.
Those of us who are being fought by God may you repent tonight in Jesus Name! (Amen!)
When you read Malachi chapter three that my son quoted last night, from verse eight to eleven, when God said, You are robbing me, don’t you know who I am? You can rob the pastor, not me, not me… Let’s be friends, I control money, I am the controller of finances”
Don’t let anybody deceive you, money doesn’t belong to the devil, the devil never created anything, all things that were created, were created by Him, Jesus! So God was saying in Malachi 3:8-11 He said, “Don’t let us fight, don’t let us fight…don’t let me curse you. Bring all the tithes into my storehouse, so that there’ll be food in my house and then test me ah-ahh find out who I am if I will not open the windows of heaven and pour you a blessing, so much that there will not be enough to receive. And then I, not you, will rebuke devourers for your sake. I will then tell devourers, “Don’t let me see you near the house of Adeboye” You bring all the tithes, bring all, bring all, don’t play tricks with me, I’m the original mathematician, bring all, let’s be friends. It is I who will now tell devourers. You don’t need to worry about devourers, leave me to that! The spiritual controls the financial. When God is on your side He will bless you so much, you will say God, this is too much! There are some people who can say Amen to that. (Amen!)
Now, God wants you to prosper, He has what it takes to make you prosper, He’s the controller of finance, so if I want to have a breakthrough then what must I do? Very simple – just befriend God that’s all. It’s as simple as that. Let me tell you a story. When we were in the Grammar School, we studied one of our teachers. And we discovered that anything he revised with us, the last week before the exam is the one that will come out in the questions. It took some time before we discovered, but we discovered. So what do we do? Anytime that exam is near and we go for revision the question we want to come out are the things we begin to ask him: “Sir, we don’t understand this, can you revise?” So even before we get into the exam hall we already have the questions. If you know who will help you to succeed, befriend him. Psalm 34:10 it says, the young lions do lack and suffer hunger, but they that seek the Lord shall not lack any good thing. That’s number one.
And the Bible said as our brother quoted earlier on that there was a young king called Uzziah, he sought the Lord and as long as he sought the Lord God made him to prosper. The Bible didn’t say that as long as he sought the Lord he prospered. It said, “God made him to prosper.” When God is on your side, it doesn’t matter what your trade He will make you to prosper.
Number two. You must fear God. Psalm 25:14 says, the secrets of the Lord are with those who fear Him. He’s the One who will say, “This is what you should do now.” When you are sleeping you will just have a dream that this is the next thing now that is going to sell. You were selling pineapple last year, no, no, no, this year just go and sell mango. If you fear Him He will reveal His secrets to you.
And, of course, our brother has already told us that we must meditate on the Word of God, day and night, so that we can be like a tree planted by the rivers of water. So that whatsoever we do will prosper. He’s told us that not only must we be willing to prosper we must be willing to obey God too.
But then there is one big point that I want to emphasis because from tonight now things are going to change for the better. Get ready for hard work. Because many of us want to prosper but we don’t want to work. God is not a 419 man. He will give you the ideas, He will tell you what work to do so that you can prosper but you have to work hard. Jesus Christ said,” “My Father worketh hitherto and I work.” If you don’t want to work hard then don’t ask for financial breakthrough. There’s a difference between magic and miracle. My Father is a miracle-worker not a magician.
I remember years ago when I was a lecturer at the university, I’d just been born-again and after a lot of persuasion I’d begun to pay my tithes. But then one day I said to God, “God, I’m paying my tithes now. You will open the windows of heaven and pour in blessing. Will the Vice-Chancellor transfer his vote to me? Where will the abundance come from.” So like I told you before God loved me specially, even as a young Christian He was speaking to me. He spoke back and said, “You want abundance?” I said, “Yes!” “You are ready to work hard?” “Of course! The only thing I know to do is to teach, no more. “ He said, “We will see to that.”
The following week the Dean of Faculty called me. Some days before he had come to my class and I was wondering what is the Dean doing in the class of a lecturer Grade 2? Apparently he had heard that this boy is a very good mathematics teacher. So he called me into his office and said, “There’s a request from Lagos Anglican Girls Grammar School that they need a good mathematics teacher. Will you go there and help them? They will pay you well. I said, “Thank you, sir.” I got there. I began to work and of course they were paying me very well. I was still doing my work in the University. Very soon the principal of CMS Grammar School heard that there’s a good mathematics teacher from University of Lagos going to teach at Lagos Anglican Girls Grammar School. They sent for me and I began to do private practice there too.
Very soon, they sent for me from St. Finbarr’s College. Very soon, several other things began to come. I won’t ell you all but I suddenly discovered that at the end of the month what was coming in was three times what was coming in before and how did I do it? The time I used to waste talking rubbish. When my friends are busy drinking beer in the clubhouse I am busy doing PP! Very soon, my second hand car was changed and I was now riding a Toyota Crown. How many of you want to prosper? How many of you are ready for hard work? Let me hear you shout Alleluia! (Alleluia!).
When God is on your side, when you have made up your mind that now, I want to do the will of God, I want to be a friend of God, I want to be committed to His programme, the Bible says in Proverbs 15:6 In the house of the righteous is much treasure. In your house as long as you begin to do the will of the Almighty God there will be much treasure. The plan of God for your life is that before you finish spending this month’s income another one will come. (Amen!)
Something spectacular is going to happen tonight. (Amen!) But before we go deeper into the extra things God will do, let us give those who are not yet the friends of God the opportunity to become His friends. God is not going to give His miracles to dogs. If you are not yet born again I assure you that when God begins to transfer wealth, He’s going to take your own and give it to me. But if you will surrender your life to Him tonight and you become one of His children, I assure you as from tonight, your prosperity will begin.
So those of you who are here, who are not yet born again, from all over the place, come now God is calling you. Let Him save your soul. Let Him cleanse you in His blood. Let Him write your Name in the book of life and then He will begin to rebuke devourers for your sake. If you want to give your life to Jesus, come now. We have a lot to do tonight so if you want to give your life to Jesus don’t waste time, come right now. I’m going to count up to ten after that one the rest of us will begin to pray. We will know then that you have not made up your mind. But tonight is a night of salvation. God wants to save your soul. He wants to give you a new beginning.
So now, I’m beginning to count. One, two, three, four, five, six, seven, eight…now if you know you really, really, want to give your life to Jesus, come from all over the place now. This is the Day of Salvation – He will save your soul. He will forgive your sin. He will become your friend. You will become His partner and then He begins to rebuke devourers for your sake and He will begin to restore to you the days that the cankerworm had eaten. But you can’t be His enemy and expect Him to help you so if you really want to give your life to Him, come now! Six. seven, eight, the Lord is calling you now this is your final opportunity. Very, very soon, it will be too late, so come now quickly because it’s nine now. The Lord is giving you one final chance. Come on, come on quickly, come and surrender your life to Him. Why do you have to die poor? Why should you die a sinner? Why must you be a servant all the days of your life? Why must you be a borrower all the days of your life? Why must they always book you down every day of your life? Come on now the Lord is calling you. Now it’s nine and a half because of those who are far away. The Almighty God wants to save your souls. This is the last call now. Let’s hurry up, hurry up here.
Now those of you already in front begin to talk to the Almighty God and say, “Father, I have come to surrender my life to you. I want you to save my soul. I want to be your friend. I don’t want to be your enemy any longer. I’ve not gained anything from sin. All those days I‘ve been living in sin what has it profited me? Father, please, I’ve come to surrender my life to you tonight. Have mercy on me. Save my soul, please save my soul O Lord! Save my soul tonight and I will praise you, I will serve you for the rest of my life, I will serve you for the rest of my life. Now keep coming, keep coming, I see some of you still coming, keep coming, keep coming. The Almighty God loves you and those of us who are already born again, please pray for these people. Stretch your hands towards them and ask the Almighty God to save their souls. Ask God to be merciful to them. Pray for them brethren! Pray for them now! Those of you who are still coming, hurry up, hurry up, the Almighty God is calling you saying, “Come on now.” This is the Day of Salvation! Come on now the Lord is calling you!
Thank You Father! Keep coming, keep coming, the Lord is still waiting for you, hurry up. The gates of mercy are still open. Come on now the Lord is calling you, Thank You Father! Alleluia! Lord Thank You Jesus! In Jesus’ mighty Name we have prayed! (Amen!)
Father Almighty we just want to thank You for Your Word that brought forth these people for because You said in Your Word that no man can come unto me except my Father draws him. Thank You for drawing these people and thank You that they have not refused Your drawing. Please accept our thanks in Jesus’ Name. Father You said whosoever will come unto You, You will no wise cast out. These Your children have come to You receive them in Jesus’ Name. (Amen!) Forgive them in Jesus’ Name. (Amen!)

Oh, yes, I refuse poverty for myself, I refuse poverty for my family, I refuse poverty, I refuse poverty for anyone that is precious to me, in the mighty Name of Jesus. Poverty will not stay near me at all, poverty will not stay in the Church of God. We refuse poverty today! In the mighty Name of Jesus we refuse poverty. Poverty will not stay in my home! Poverty will not stay near me, poverty will not stay anywhere in my surroundings, anywhere that is close to me or associated with me at all. Poverty you will not stay. I refuse you poverty! In the mighty Name of Jesus! (Amen!)
Brethren, any one who is dead can no longer be converted to Jesus Christ because there is no repentance in the grave therefore we cannot fold our arms and allow the devil to keep killing our youths in the Delta area.

In Jesus’ mighty Name we have prayed. (Amen!) Amen! (Amen!) Let somebody shout alleluia! (Alleluia!) And then shake hands with one or two people and say, “God heard me you know, and the answer had come.” (Amen!)
Now if you believe that shout Alleluia! (Alleluia!) Let’s be seated. Now we’ve come to a very crucial moment in today’s programme. I promised you at the beginning that I would tell you all the truth, the whole truth and nothing but the truth. You said, that’s okay. Is it still okay (Yes) Are you sure? (Yes)
Genesis 48:17-20:
17 And when Joseph saw that his father laid his right hand upon the head of Ephraim, it displeased him: and he held up his father's hand, to remove it from Ephraim's head unto Manasseh's head. Anything that will transfer y our blessing tonight to somebody else, God will not allow. (Amen!)
18 And Joseph said unto his father, Not so, my father: for this is the firstborn; put thy right hand upon his head.
19 And his father refused, and said, I know it, my son, I know it: he also shall become a people, and he also shall be great: but truly his younger brother shall be greater than he, and his seed shall become a multitude of nations.
20 And he blessed them that day, saying, In thee shall Israel bless, saying, God make thee as Ephraim and as Manasseh: and he set Ephraim before Manasseh. We have a very deep mystery here. Jacob was about to die and Joseph brought his two sons before him, Ephraim and Manesseh for the parting blessing. So he put Manasseh on the left side so that the right hand of the father will be able to land on his head because Manaseeh was the firs born. And he put Ephraim on his own right side so that the left hand of the father will land on his head because Ephraim was the second born. Now Jacob was old, the eyes are no longer very good, but suddenly Jacob did a strange thing, he crossed his hand, put the right hand on the head of the second born, the left hand on the head of the first born.
When Joseph saw it, “Papa what are you doing? This is not the way.” He took off the hand of the father - “right hand Papa on the head of the first born, left hand on the head of the second born, that’s the way of God.” Jacob smiled. He said, I know what I am doing, I’m not the one doing it, there is a force guiding me. Don’t worry about your first born, he will become great he will become a people. As for the younger one he’s going to become a multitude of nations. Ephraim had a breakthrough because Gran’pa made a pronouncement. Even the father didn’t agree but the grandpa overruled Papa.
I’ve always told you that if your pastor curses you. If you run to the General Overseer he can cancel the curse. When it comes to blessing. Actually Jacob knew the importance of blessing because he stole one blessing some time ago – but on this particular time it was not Jacob acting, it was the Holy Spirit It was the Holy Spirit that crossed the hand and the right hand landed on the head of the one who didn’t deserve it. The right hand of God is going to land on the head of somebody here tonight. (Amen!)
I have said earlier on that all that God needs to do is command and blessing will begin to pursue the one who had been blessed. Deuteronomy 28 verse 2 says this blessing shall follow you and overtake you. It says, if you satisfy certain conditions that blessings will not only follow you, it will overtake you. For blessing to pursue you and overtake you means you are saying, this is too much and God says, I have not yet started. That is my portion, I know that one for my own. But at times God delegates the ability to make such a pronouncement to human beings. We know that once God has spoken, it is done, but at times God will raise up somebody and give him the authority to make such pronouncements on His behalf.
In 2 Chronicles 20:20 the Bible says, Believe God and you will be established, believe his prophets and you shall prosper. In other words, God through his prophets can make pronouncements of prosperity upon you. In fact, Matthew 10 verse 41 the Lord Himself said, if you receive a prophet, in a prophet’s name, you will receive the prophet’s reward. In other words, if the prophet makes.... if it is a true prophet of course, a prophet of God, if he makes a pronouncement on you, for blessing, then you are already blessed. That’s why those who are wise, from time to time, when they feel they need blessing, when they feel they need to jump forward, they find something and they go and give to a prophet. That is what is called, the prophet’s offering. And the prophet will look at it and say, “Ah, God bless you.” Or he receives the envelope and sees the name at the back and says, “Brother, so-so-so, sister so-so-so, you are blessed. And wherever you are the blessing now will begin to look for you and to pursue.
Now because of Jacob’s pronouncement, because he said, “Ephraim, you will be greater than Manasseh.” by the time we get to Deuteronomy 33:17 the Bible says, for every one thousand that you count for Manasseh, you find ten thousand for Ephraim. In other words if you begin to count the sheep of Manasseh and you count one thousand and you say, “Let us stop first.” And you turn to Ephraim and you say, “Ephraim how do you match this one thousand?” For every one thousand of Manasseh there were ten thousand of Ephraim.
You see when we talk about breakthroughs… I’ve explained that one to you before. ; that somebody who is digging a well, when he gets through to water he has a breakthrough. He can now drink, he can now wash, he can do a lot with the water in his well. But if somebody digs deeper, just kept on digging and digging and digging and suddenly he comes in contact with crude oil, that one now has a real breakthrough. He can buy as many wells of water as he wants. So there are breakthroughs and there are breakthroughs but there is the kind of breakthrough that goes with the right hand. There’s a breakthrough that takes care of your problems for the rest of your life; there is a breakthrough, which is the real turning point in your life. I’ve told you that in every man’s life a day comes when you take one step and you can say bye-bye to poverty and there is no way that your family can be poor again. Somebody’s going to take that step tonight. (Amen!) I believe that it will be more than one person. (Amen!)
But, this is a secret - every major breakthrough in the Scriptures had involved a very serious sacrifice. I will give you just one example tonight. Because tonight is not really a night for talking, it’s a night for God to show himself and He’s already here. I am sure you can feel Him too. And when He’s already around like that, I hurry up before he will push me aside so He can do His work.
In 1 Kings 17:8-16 there was a widow, she was about to die, no food in the house, no money in the account, no helper anywhere and suddenly a prophet showed up and said, “Woman, your day of breakthrough has come, no more hunger, no more pain, no more poverty, even if death comes to this house, we will chase it out. But, that your last meal go and bring it. If the woman had refused to surrender that meal that day she would have died soon and she would have died poor. But she brought the food and the Almighty God spoke through His prophet and said, no more lack in that house and that was the end of lack. In the house of somebody here tonight, there'll be no more lack.
When you need a break through the very little I know about my Daddy, so that nobody will accuse Him of partiality, He will ask you, “Bring me a breakthrough offering.”
I’m sharing something with you that I’m not sure I’ve shared with anyone before. About two years ago, that Special Holy Ghost Service of last year, as I was preparing, “God, I want a miracle for everybody, this time round.” And He said, “What will you give me?” I said, “What do you want Lord? Anything! You ask, I’ll give!” You remember. He said, “Give me your jeep.” I said, O God, because I had fallen in love with that one. “Okay, yes Lord!” The jeep went and many of you know many of the things that had happened at that time. Part of the things that came as a result of that singular, little sacrifice, was Lekki ’98.
Then came Special Holy Ghost this year. “Daddy, I need something.” He said, “I know what you need.” But you must ask. I said, “I want a deeper level of anointing.” I want a breakthrough, I want a breakthrough, a breakthrough in anointing. “ And He said, what will you give me. I said, what do you want Lord and He told me.. I’m not going to tell you this one now. “Okay, Lord..” I didn’t know that the answer would come so quickly. But it is from March that the lame have been walking and the blind seeing and miracles following. How often do I give a breakthrough sacrifice? It depends on how often you need a breakthrough.
I need another breakthrough now. For various reasons. Convention is next month and it has to be the best the world had ever seen. Festival ’99 is coming. It’s going to be for three days. That’s going to require special anointing. I need another breakthrough and I am ready to pay whatever it will cost. Is there anybody here tonight in need of a major breakthrough? I am not talking of the Manasseh kind, I’m talking of the Ephraim kind. Stand on your feet.
For two minutes commune with your God. Just ask Him, “what do you want me to give?” I want this major breakthrough. Will it be financial breakthrough you want, is it spiritual breakthrough you want? You know it, you know what that major breakthrough that will bring joy to you for the rest of your life. Ask Him “Lord, what do you want me to give you in return? Whatever it is Lord, give me the grace to do it. Give me the grace, give me the grace” So talk to the Lord for a minute
Thank You Lord! Blessed be Your Holy Name! In Jesus’ mighty Name we have prayed.
Those of you who have settled with God. You know what you want. You know what God wants and you are ready to give it to Him, please lift up your right hand. I am going to make some pronouncements and I am going to wave my right hand. Some weeks ago God said some things, He said to me, “Son, stop telling people that your hands are ordinary because they are not. You didn’t make them special. I did.” So these special hands by the special grace of God are going to move the wind through the special grace of God. (Amen!) The wind is going to touch all those right hands that you have lifted up. (Amen!) Now at the right moment you are going to place that right hand on your own head. When I tell you to do so you will do so and as you do so, the blessings that go with the right hand will land on your head. (Amen!) No matter how fast you may run, the blessings of tonight will continue to pursue you. (Amen!) and overtake you. (Amen!) Keep the right hand up there. Thank You Daddy. Oh, my Lord! Let the wind of the Holy Spirit begin to blow now touching all these right hands with your power, with your anointing, with Your breakthrough power, with Your blessings, with Your yoke-destroying anointing, destroying yokes of poverty, yokes of failure, yokes of retardation, yokes of barrenness, yokes of demons, yokes of sorrow, yokes of fear…destroying every yoke of defeat, destroying every yoke of the enemy. I pronounce Lord that special blessings that go with the right hand upon all these Your children that are here today, that from now on they will no more know what is called poverty or failure or lack or defeat all the days of their lives so that everything called barrenness, everything called sickness, everything called failure, everything called inability to rise will disappear (Amen!) will disappear (Amen!) will disappear (Amen!) will disappear (Amen!) And now the blessings of the Almighty God the God of Abraham, the God of Isaac, the God of Jacob will begin to pursue you and overtake you.! (Amen!) Whatever you touch from now on will begin to prosper! (Amen!) Physically (Amen!) Materially (Amen!) Financially (Amen!) Emotionally (Amen!) Maritally (Amen!) Ministerialy (Amen!) Spiritually (Amen!) From now on, you will begin to prosper! (Amen!) Put the right hand on your head and begin to pray and begin to pray for yourself. Say, yes, I receive it in the mighty Name of Jesus! I receive that supernatural abundance that only the Almighty can give, the supernatural abundance of faith, of boldness, of anointing, of financial breakthroughs on the right, on the left, in front and behind to the glory of God! Receive it with thanksgiving Lord! Thank You Jesus! Oh, Blessed be Your Holy Name Lord! Thank You Jesus!
Among all your peers you will be far, far above! (Amen!) From now on you will be head only! (Amen!) You will never be tail! (Amen!) You will never borrow again! (Amen!) Very soon, you’ll be lending to nations! (Amen!) And your children shall be greater than you shall! (Amen!) And your grandchildren shall be greater than they. (Amen!) So shall it be! (Amen!) Bye-bye to failure! (Amen!) Bye-bye to defeat! (Amen!) Bye-bye to sorrow! (Amen!) Bye-bye to poverty! (Amen!) Welcome to prosperity! (Amen!) Welcome to victory! (Amen!) Welcome to joy! (Amen!) Welcome to abundance! (Amen!) Welcome to abundance! (Amen!) Welcome to abundance! (Amen!) So shall it be (Amen!), in Jesus mighty Name (Amen!) Thank You Daddy, blessed be Your Name. If you believe that shout Alleluia! (Alleluia!)
It’s Brother Francis About three months ago my wife miss so we have been looking for my wife about three months ago. She left three kids. We print photograph. Go to police station. The family they said maybe I have used her for money. Many opinions have been made concerning this woman. I said if I did not see her before the Holy Ghost, I will not come. To God be the glory, just yesterday a message came to me…Praise the Lord!
Praise the Lord! Praise the living Jesus! My name is Kehinde Adeboye. I thank the Almighty that I am here to testify to the goodness of God in my life. Despite that the devil doesn’t want me to testify to the goodness of God today because I’ve been planning since four days ago but on my way coming, the vehicle that helped me from toll gate, I forgot something that is tangible inside that vehicle, that thing is bothering me but I still made myself that I will testify to the goodness of God today. What happened is that since 1997 March my menstruation just stopped. I don’t know what to do. I waited till maybe four months. I consult a doctor and he said I should go and bring two thousand. By then I don’t have N10. I left there, I discussed this thing with my twin sister, Taiye. By then my mother was alive, I could not tell my mother, I did not discuss it with any body.. (Tell us what happened!) But I always tell this to my God. Last Holy Ghost night I told my God that “Lord, I want to know the purpose of my coming to this Holy Ghost night.” If I did not menstruate in this month of June, I will not come to this Holy Ghost night again!” But to God be the glory, last Friday, 24th of June, God restored my menstruation! Praise the Lord!
Praise the Lord! It was on the Holy Ghost Service of April. My name is Brother Duke Aja. It was on the Holy Ghost Night of April this year, I came and when our father in the Lord asked that people that had not given their lives to God should come out and give their life, I came out and gave my life to God and the man of God that was ministering unto me said I should write my prayer request. I wrote my prayer request that if my brother who left home since 1980, although we knew that he was alive, that God should bring him and on getting home, after about two weeks, my brother, from nowhere, came back!
Again last month when we came for the Holy Ghost Service, Baba prayed and said that our compatriots, our friends, our neighbours would envy us because of the glory of God in our lives. And God blessed me so much that they are envying me, they even want to evict me from the house! Praise the Lord!
Praise the living Jesus! My name is Miss Funso Adesina. I thank God for healing me of chest pain, breast pain and appendix during the February Holy Ghost Service. And again when the word of knowledge came from the mouth of our father in the Lord that God is working on the back today I received my healing because before I normally had backache, so I thank God for healing me. And thirdly, I thank God for my admission because I had a great delay for about six years but I thank God that now I’m admitted. The only thing I want the people of God to pray for us is that UI is yet to cooperate with the students, that God should just intervene.
Praise the Lord! I am Sister Funke Oladipo. At the April Holy Ghost Service which happened to be a Good Friday I came with my husband and our car was stolen at the Holiness Car Park. The car was recovered. We got to know about the recovery of the car towards the end of May but my husband got back the car two days ago. I also bless the Name of the Lord for my husband’s heart’s desire being met – he’s elected as the speaker of the Ogun State House of Assembly! I bless the Name of the Lord!
Praise the Lord! My name is Sister Iyabode Jaiyeola for the past four years after I gave birth to this child. After some months after I gave birth, I discovered that he’s not growing, because before that time I had a dream, I saw many snakes, big ones, they wanted to carry this child away from me! So I said, by the special grace of God this child is mine, you are not taking it away from me, it’s mine so I took the child from the snake. After that I discovered that the baby is not developing, so we went to LUTH. When we got to LUTH they say that it’s a Downs Syndrome. Then I rebuked it. I said, In the Name of Jesus my child is not a Down syndrome! After many years it started growing small, small. So after, when we came to this May Holy Ghost Night I discovered that after the prayer the boy just left my hand and started walking about. The same time when we got home the next day Saturday, he left the table and started walking about the sitting room. I really praise God and I want the Lord God to finish His work on him. Thank You Lord Jesus! Praise the Lord!
Praise the Lord! The Lord is good. I thank God for what God has done in my life and I don’t want to lose my testimony that’s why I’ve come forward to give it. During the Special Holy Ghost Service normally, I couldn’t barb skin cut, so our father in the Lord said God said there’s somebody here who doesn’t like the shape of his head and since then I can now have a clean cut to God be the glory!
That’s not what he said. I remember God said during the Special Holy Ghost Service that there was someone in the congregation who didn’t like the shape of his head. God said He has corrected the shape. That's the brother. Let’s give the Lord a big hand. Thank You Father!
Well at least I know there is someone here tonight who will never, never, never be in debt again. (Amen!) The Almighty God told us once here that one of the problems with many of us is that when we receive a miracle we don’t thank Him for it and that’s why we don’t get another. For me tonight, is the greatest Holy Ghost Night we have ever held. I know what God has done. I know the voltage of the heavenly electricity that passed through this place tonight. I know in advance the number of testimonies that will come as a result of tonight. I personally want to give thanks to God tonight and I know there are some people who will join me…..
Thank You Lord! The Lord says there’s someone here tonight you are like a dry riverbed. The Lord asked me to tell you, that before the end of this year that riverbed will overflow with water. (Amen!)
Father, we want to bless Your Holy Name. Thank You Lord! Thank You Lord! Last Friday we had the Holy Ghost Service in Germany, it was a great success. When we were about to finish, the Lord says that there was someone in the congregation who should write something and paste it at the back of his door. Now the Lord told me just now that what He said in Germany is also true here: that there is someone here tonight who should get a good piece of paper and write down “Celebration cometh!” “Celebration cometh!” And you should put it at the back of your door. Every day when you wake up, you will see it there. It’s the promise of God to you that very soon you’ll be celebrating. (Amen!)
Father thank You for celebration cometh. Oh, Glory be to Your Holy Name! Bless the thanksgiving offering of your children. Sanctify it. Use it for your glory. The Lord said there is someone here who said, “Lord, you have not mentioned my case.” The Lord asked me to tell you, what else do you want to hear, I’ve told you ‘you shall weep no more.’ (Amen!) Father, as your children are going, go with them. (Amen!) Protect them. (Amen!) Keep on blessing them. (Amen!) Every evil on their way, I cancel in Jesus’ Name. (Amen!) By the time we meet next month let there be so many people shouting, “My celebration has come!” (Amen!) Thank You Father! Glory be to Your Name! In Jesus mighty Name we have prayed. Let somebody shout alleluia! (Alleluia!)
Alleluia!
Pastor E. A. Adeboye
Tonight we want to believe God for financial breakthroughs. This is a special Holy Ghost Service for those of us who need financial breakthroughs. Those of you who are already lending to nations congratulations! Any extra that may come your way tonight, direct towards me. Those of us who are yet to reach that level of lending to nations I believe that tonight we will have our breakthroughs. (Amen!) Last year when we had something on financial break through I told you a story because of those of you who were not here last year I want to quickly repeat the story:
I visited a couple. They are my children and the wife entertained me. After eating she came to me and said, “Daddy, how was the food.” And as a good guest I said, “Oh, wonderful. Oh, good!” She said, “Daddy, I am your daughter – don’t do diplomacy with me! How was the food?” I said, “Good!” “If it is that good how come my husband is not eating at home?” “I see. You want the truth?” She said, “Yes.” “The whole truth? She said, “Yes.” “Nothing but the truth?” She said, “Yes.” I said, “In that case there are seven things wrong with the food. The meat is too tough. The pepper is too much. The salt is too much. The vegetable is one side. The water is on the other side. And so on and so forth!” After that she said, “Thank you Daddy. Now, you’ve told me the problem. What is the solution?” So I told her. :”Get pressure cooker. Use it to boil your meat. Always include fish in your stew so if the meat is too tough the poor man can eat the fish. And so on and so forth!” “Ah, thank you Daddy. Now I know you are my Daddy.”
A couple of weeks later the husband said, “Daddy, I don’t know what you told my wife but now her cooking had improved tremendously. Glory be to God! Tonight, how many of you want the truth? The whole truth? Nothing but the truth? Well then, let me hear you shout Alleluia! (Alleluia!)
Truth number one: Your tomorrow will be all right! (Amen!)
Truth number two: You will have a breakthrough tonight. (Amen!)
We want to talk about financial breakthroughs and I have no intention of telling you anything less than the absolute truth tonight. Whether you like it or not you are already here and it is already too late to run. I am going to give you the whole truth by the special grace of God.
You see the first thing you need to note is this: Whether you remain poor or become wealthy the choice is yours. The Bible says, in Deuteronomy 15:11 it said, there will always be poor people in the land. The poor will never cease out of the land. But it did not say Adeboye will be one of them. It said, there will always be poor people in the land and by the grace of God I will not be one of them.
Deuteronomy 28 verses 11 and 12. The Bible says there will always be the wealthy in the land - those who will be lending to nations who will never borrow. There will always be such people in the land. So there will always be the poor in the land there will always be the wealthy. The choice now is yours, but before you choose, remember, the Bible says in Proverbs 22 verse 7, it said that the borrower is the servant to the lender. He said the rich will always rule over the poor. “So you have to choose. Do you want to be the ruler or the ruled? Do you want to be the lender or the borrower? Do you want to spend the rest of your life as a servant? The choice is yours. There is no question of humility when it comes to whether you prosper or you don’t. A poor man is a servant and I refuse, I refuse to be a servant.
I have told you before. I have tasted both sides. I have tasted walking barefooted in the mud for the first eighteen years of my life. Now I have tasted walking with shoes on my feet whether it rains or it shines. I think one is better than the other. All of you who are messengers today, if you make up your mind you can be managers tomorrow. But if you say. “It is glorious to be poor, after all somebody has to be messenger, somebody has to pull the truck in the market...” then be it unto you according to your faith. But I refuse: say it loud and clear, I refuse to be poor.
Now that’s truth number one. Many of us Christians are even afraid to prosper. We believe that once we prosper we won’t go to heaven. May I tell you again, you may be the poorest man in the world, if you are not born again and you don’t live holy, you will still go to hell, so you will suffer here and suffer there. And you can be the richest man, if you are born-again and you live holy and you serve my God you will enjoy here and you will enjoy in heaven. I refuse to be poor! (I refuse to be poor!) In fact my family refuses to be poor. On your behalf we refuse to be poor.
Number two. It is the will of God for you to prosper so don’t insult God by choosing to be poor. Nothing in poverty will bring glory to God. God cannot be glorified in your wearing rags. Let me tell you. God is not glorified in your being a tenant. If your Father has mansions in heaven. He should be able to give you a bungalow at least here on earth. And believe me honestly as long as you are a tenant, the landlord can say, “I don’t want the Name of Jesus called in this my house.” But if the house is your own house. If you like you can turn every room to a chapel! I refuse to die a tenant! (I refuse to die a tenant!) Say it loud and clear.
The brother who spoke before me had already told you that the Bible says I wish above all things that you prosper and be in good health even as your soul prospers. He has told us Psalm 35 verse 27 that God has pleasure in the prosperity of His saints and the promise of God in Joel 2:26 (Thank You Father! the Lord says he’s opening the ears of someone. (Amen!)) God promised, He said you shall eat in plenty and be satisfied. Now listen brethren it is glorious to say, “Even though the house is full of food, I want to fast.” That’s glorious. But when there is no food in the house and you say you want to fast, you are not fasting! Glory be to God for ever more!
And don’t let anybody deceive you into thinking that God is on the side of the poor. If He is on the side of the poor, it is to get the poor out of their poverty. Because God himself is not a poor God, I know and you know there is an English proverb: show me your friends and I’ll tell you who you are. When Moses asked God, “Who are you sir?” in Exodus 3:15 God said, “I am the God of Abraham, God of Isaac and God of Jacob” So let’s check who is Abraham
Genesis 24:34 & 35 the Bible says, and he said, I am Abraham’s servant and the Lord has blessed my master greatly and he has become great and He has given him flocks and herds and silver and gold and menservants and maid servants and camels and cattle. Let’s read it in modern language – this is Adeboye’s translation. ‘And the Lord has blessed Abraham greatly and he has become great and He has given him flocks and herds and silver and gold and houseboys and housegirls and lorries and cars.’ Is that in your Bible, something similar? Amen. I am the God of Abraham. This Abraham had silver, gold, cows, field, means of transport….
Let’s look at Isaac - Genesis 26, let us read just verses 13 and 14, talking about Isaac: and the man waxed great and went forward and grew until he became very great for he had possession of flocks and possession of herds and great store of servants and the Philistines envied him. Isaac prospered so much that a whole nation envied him. I know there is somebody here tonight that by the time God had finished with you tonight, people will persecute you! Why? They will say, “How come? Are you the only one worshipping God? We turn right – your houses! We turn left – your houses! In Lagos, whole streets, your houses! In Ibadan, whole streets – your houses! London, you’ve bought half of the place. Are you the only one? How many of you will say, “Yes, I am the only one!”
Or let’s look at Jacob, Genesis 30 verse 43. And the man increased exceedingly and had much cattle and maidservants and menservants and camels and sheep. God said I am the God of Abraham, Isaac and Jacob – there is not a single poor one among the three. He is a God of the wealthy. Don’t let anybody deceive you. That’s the plain, plain, truth. If you walk with the poor, you end up being poor. That’s why if you are the only rich one in your family, you better do something about the family because the only rich man in the family is the head of the poor. My family refuses to be poor. Say it loud and clear!
Now it is the wish of God that you become rich – for several reasons. The work of God cannot be done without money. Do you think Lekki ’98 would have come to pass without money? It doesn’t matter how much vision we have. It doesn’t matter how many zealous children I have, it takes money to light up that place. You just can’t go there and say, “Well, God with you all things are possible – just send sun in the night. God will say, “Oh, no, no, that will alter the course of nature.. You want the lame to walk, I’ll do that; blind to see, that’s no problem. You want to light up that place go and get generators. God knows we need money to do the work of God and I know there are some of you here who want to do the work of God. I know some of you want to build churches for God. I know some of you want to buy buses for God. I know some of you if only you have the money you will buy a jet for Pastor Adeboye. Say, “Today, I decide. “(Today, I decide…) Come on say it with all your might! (Today I decide!) I will be wealthy.” (I will be wealthy!) So shall it be in Jesus’ Name (Amen!)
It is one thing for God to want you to prosper. Has He got the means to make you prosper? Oh, yes. He has what it takes to make everyone of us wealthy. All the money we need, to take over the whole world for Jesus Christ its down there under the ground. Some of it they call oil, another part they call gold. I’m sure many of you know that silver also comes from the ground. Diamond is from the ground. Iron is from the ground. Aluminum, everything they use in making all theses things they are from the ground. Not to talk about agriculture, everything from the ground. And Psalm 24 verse 1 says, the earth is the Lords and what? and the fullness thereof. Everything we need for all of us to be multi-millionaires, they are inside the ground...that is, let us assume, that whatever is already converted to naira and pounds, let us say we forget that one, what about those left over – reserves. Your share is there…I say your share is there, my share is there.
Not only that, in Isaiah 45:3 God promised, I will give to you, treasures of darkness. I will give to you hidden riches. There are certain riches that nobody’s going to discover until you are ready. Oh, once upon a time, diamond used to be very, very expensive and when they are talking about materials that you can convert to money they talk about silver, they talk about gold, now they came across something more precious than gold, I think they call it platinum. And then they discovered something more precious than platinum, I don’t even know the name and I know there are several others that my Father is hiding, saying what’s wrong with you my children, wake up so I can give this thing to you!
What about ideas? You’ll just sit down and have an idea…. If I add this to this. If I go this way, go this way, go this way. You will just keep your mouth shut and you will just go the way God said you should go. They will just look at you and say, “Wait a minute. How are you doing it?”
I told you an accountant who had an idea. “How long am I going to keep on saying ‘Yes sir, Yes, sir, Yes, Sir” God said He will prosper me. On this salary? How long? God give me an idea!” And God gave him an idea. But different type of groundnut. He will roast his own groundnut with honey. Today, he’s riding a jet. Selling groundnut. When the Almighty God gives you an idea, people will chase you they won’t catch you. I mean, your boss will not even be able to see the back of your head. All God has to do is command and blessings will come. He said it in Deuteronomy 28 verse 28 He said; “I will command blessings upon you. He will tell blessings, “Blessing whether you like it or not, go to the house of Adeboye and blessing will have to obey.
You know the story very well, the people asked Peter, “Does your master pay tax?” Jesus said to Peter, Don’t let us argue with them, take your hook, go to the river. The first fish that you catch, open its mouth you’ll find a gold coin there go and use it to pay the tax.” since when have you found a fish eating money? But Daddy commanded, “Fish, go and swallow a gold coin!” But wait a minute, where did he find a gold coin to swallow? We are not talking about you we are talking about the Almighty. He could say to the fish, that thing is a stone, swallow it any way, by the time it reaches your mouth it will become gold. My father who can make children out of rocks, He can tell rocks become gold. You can sell water and become the richest man in Nigeria. All my Father needs to do is command.
Not only did He ask the fish to swallow stone, He told the same fish, “a hook is coming, you must be the first one to catch it!” Your miracle is not going to miss you. (Amen!) Whether the devil likes it or not your miracle will not miss you. (Amen!) All my Daddy needs to do is command and He’s going to command today and blessings will begin to follow. He commanded and birds began to feed His prophet for almost a whole year. Bringing him bread! Birds love to eat bread, they love to eat bread. If you think they don’t love to eat bread go and throw your own before a chicken. And they love, ravens in particular, they love meat. But God says, “ This one that you are taking to Elijah, if you taste it you are dead!” And where did they get the bread from? There is an oven in heaven. Where did they get the meat from? Ahh, when you get to heaven you will discover! Wherever they are going to get your miracle from, they are bringing it in this month.
I’ve told you the story before. When we wanted to move into our house here in the camp: no windows, no doors and I’d already announced – October 1 we are moving! Ten days to go. No kobo in pocket. So the disciples gathered and I just told them, “I need a miracle, so pray.” Now if I had told them that I needed money,ahhh.. They would have gathered some money for me. But that will be ‘fine bara’, I’ll be begging, begging for money. I didn’t beg, I said I need a miracle. Pray that God will give me a miracle. God will give you your own miracles today in Jesus’ Name. (Amen!) So the children prayed and then we forgot about it. On Sunday when I got home……
……..notes and I thought it was full of fifty kobo notes because in those days we had fifty kobo notes. It was a small girl, she said, “Daddy, I was saving this money so I can travel abroad, but God said, I should give it to you.” I thought it was a small change.... So I took it from her, “If it is from God, God will bless you, you want to travel abroad, God will work it out.” So the girl jumped and rejoiced and went. I opened the envelope. Inside was five hundred naira. And that was a lot of money in those days. It was sufficient for all the work I wanted to do to move in.
So I got my miracle and then some weeks later the girl came to my office again. I thought she has come with another envelope. She said, Daddy, I’ve just returned from abroad.” How? She said the father of my friend came to her father and said please let your daughter travel with my daughter to England. We are going abroad and they are friends. I don’t want my daughter to be lonely there please let me take your daughter. God will command a blessing upon every one of you here tonight in Jesus Name!
When God commands, suddenly your last becomes your first. What you think is going to be the last meal, suddenly becomes the first meal. In 1 Kings 17 verse 8 to 16 you know the story, there was this widow who had only one last meal. Two pancakes separated her and her son from death but then a prophet came. “Give me those two pancakes.” She surrendered the pancakes. He finished the pancakes and said, “Now, go and get food ready for yourself and for your son because there will never be lack again in your house. When God gets involved in your finances. When you stop using your brain, thinking how do we manipulate God. Suddenly your last becomes your first.
I shared with some of my friends this story, I think it was 1983, our first convention at this campground. We were very poor in those days. We made the benches on credit because the carpenter happened to be one of us and we agreed when the convention is over we will settle. The convention in those days used to last ten days continuously. It was Thursday and I had only one thousand naira left and the crowd were still coming in. How am I going to feed these people with one thousand naira? I was on that.
I was thinking on that getting ready for miracle night, when the carpenter came in: “Daddy, my balance?” And we were still owing him one thousand naira. I almost said, “If you don’t get out of here I will kick you.” But as he got to the door God spoke to me and said, “Give him. Give him the money. If I didn't know my Daddy's voice I would have said, "Get thee behind me Satan!". But I know my Daddy’s voice so I called him and gave him the money. As he turned to go. I almost called him back. I almost said, “Don’t spend the money yet!” But I didn’t say so because God spoke to me again, “You can’t go to miracle service with a debt and in any case, I’m the one who will feed these people and there will be something left over when we’ve finished. I cannot tell you how He did it. But when the convention was over there was something left over and I’m saying to someone here tonight, “You will never borrow again.” (Amen!)
God has what it takes to make you wealthy. Remember He can bring water out of rock. The next thing you need to know. I’m just preparing you because I know something is about to happen tonight. Is that the spiritual controls the financial. I’m sure many of us already know that the spiritual controls the physical. But many of us don’t really believe that the spiritual also controls the financial.
But like the brother who spoke before me said, he told us, Deuteronomy 8:18, It is God who gives you power to get wealth. And when you read the story of Job, chapter one, all the way from verse one to verse ten, when God was bursting about Job to the devil. Have you observed my servant Job, righteous man, feareth God, escheweth evil, the Devil answered, verse 9-10, “Does Job fear God in vain? You made a hedge round about him” May God make a hedge round about you, “and all that he has? I can’t touch him even if I want to! You had blessed him and he had increased greatly!” May the Almighty God bless you, may you increase greatly (Amen).
In other words the Devil is saying, why won’t Job worship you Lord, You blessed him, he is great, because you are involved in his finances.” When you see somebody who is doing well, I’m talking on the side of the Lord, you can be sure God himself is the one doing the blessing.
Once in a while God can also be the one responsible for the hardship, the financial hardship you are having. I’m not the one who said so, He said so himself, in Haggai, chapter one verse five and six, He said, Consider your ways, consider your ways...because some of you are earning the salary and you are putting it into bags with holes. Who created the holes? You got the money all right – as soon as it enters into your pocket…”What happened to my money?” Every bag with holes, may the Almighty God seal tonight in Jesus Name. (Amen!)
In this same Haggai chapter one, He said, some people bring in the little and He said, He God blew it away. You earn the salary, you bring it in, you saw it all right, but He God blew it away. You see God is a good friend but He can be a very terrible enemy. If you read Joel 2 verses 25 & 26, after the children of Israel had repented, He said, “All right, now that you have repented, the locusts, the caterpillars, cankerworm, my army that I have sent against you, He said, I will stop them now.” That was after the people repented. In other words when the caterpillars were eating and devouring their products they didn’t even know that the caterpillars were an army sent by God.
Many of us who had been praying, “God, prosper me.” And God kept quiet. ”You devourers, get away from here!” And God kept quiet. I’ve told you before, if all the demons in Nigeria, if they send to all the demons in India, and other demons wherever they are, and they gather up against you, when you say: ”In the Name of Jesus, get out of my way!” They have to obey. But if it is an angel that God himself puts there…”You spirit, whatever your name, it is written, at the Name of Jesus every knee should bow so get out of the way!” He will look at you and say, “ I heard you but you see it is the same Jesus who asked me to stand here and I’m going to obey Him before I obey you.
Those of us who are being fought by God may you repent tonight in Jesus Name! (Amen!)
When you read Malachi chapter three that my son quoted last night, from verse eight to eleven, when God said, You are robbing me, don’t you know who I am? You can rob the pastor, not me, not me… Let’s be friends, I control money, I am the controller of finances”
Don’t let anybody deceive you, money doesn’t belong to the devil, the devil never created anything, all things that were created, were created by Him, Jesus! So God was saying in Malachi 3:8-11 He said, “Don’t let us fight, don’t let us fight…don’t let me curse you. Bring all the tithes into my storehouse, so that there’ll be food in my house and then test me ah-ahh find out who I am if I will not open the windows of heaven and pour you a blessing, so much that there will not be enough to receive. And then I, not you, will rebuke devourers for your sake. I will then tell devourers, “Don’t let me see you near the house of Adeboye” You bring all the tithes, bring all, bring all, don’t play tricks with me, I’m the original mathematician, bring all, let’s be friends. It is I who will now tell devourers. You don’t need to worry about devourers, leave me to that! The spiritual controls the financial. When God is on your side He will bless you so much, you will say God, this is too much! There are some people who can say Amen to that. (Amen!)
Now, God wants you to prosper, He has what it takes to make you prosper, He’s the controller of finance, so if I want to have a breakthrough then what must I do? Very simple – just befriend God that’s all. It’s as simple as that. Let me tell you a story. When we were in the Grammar School, we studied one of our teachers. And we discovered that anything he revised with us, the last week before the exam is the one that will come out in the questions. It took some time before we discovered, but we discovered. So what do we do? Anytime that exam is near and we go for revision the question we want to come out are the things we begin to ask him: “Sir, we don’t understand this, can you revise?” So even before we get into the exam hall we already have the questions. If you know who will help you to succeed, befriend him. Psalm 34:10 it says, the young lions do lack and suffer hunger, but they that seek the Lord shall not lack any good thing. That’s number one.
And the Bible said as our brother quoted earlier on that there was a young king called Uzziah, he sought the Lord and as long as he sought the Lord God made him to prosper. The Bible didn’t say that as long as he sought the Lord he prospered. It said, “God made him to prosper.” When God is on your side, it doesn’t matter what your trade He will make you to prosper.
Number two. You must fear God. Psalm 25:14 says, the secrets of the Lord are with those who fear Him. He’s the One who will say, “This is what you should do now.” When you are sleeping you will just have a dream that this is the next thing now that is going to sell. You were selling pineapple last year, no, no, no, this year just go and sell mango. If you fear Him He will reveal His secrets to you.
And, of course, our brother has already told us that we must meditate on the Word of God, day and night, so that we can be like a tree planted by the rivers of water. So that whatsoever we do will prosper. He’s told us that not only must we be willing to prosper we must be willing to obey God too.
But then there is one big point that I want to emphasis because from tonight now things are going to change for the better. Get ready for hard work. Because many of us want to prosper but we don’t want to work. God is not a 419 man. He will give you the ideas, He will tell you what work to do so that you can prosper but you have to work hard. Jesus Christ said,” “My Father worketh hitherto and I work.” If you don’t want to work hard then don’t ask for financial breakthrough. There’s a difference between magic and miracle. My Father is a miracle-worker not a magician.
I remember years ago when I was a lecturer at the university, I’d just been born-again and after a lot of persuasion I’d begun to pay my tithes. But then one day I said to God, “God, I’m paying my tithes now. You will open the windows of heaven and pour in blessing. Will the Vice-Chancellor transfer his vote to me? Where will the abundance come from.” So like I told you before God loved me specially, even as a young Christian He was speaking to me. He spoke back and said, “You want abundance?” I said, “Yes!” “You are ready to work hard?” “Of course! The only thing I know to do is to teach, no more. “ He said, “We will see to that.”
The following week the Dean of Faculty called me. Some days before he had come to my class and I was wondering what is the Dean doing in the class of a lecturer Grade 2? Apparently he had heard that this boy is a very good mathematics teacher. So he called me into his office and said, “There’s a request from Lagos Anglican Girls Grammar School that they need a good mathematics teacher. Will you go there and help them? They will pay you well. I said, “Thank you, sir.” I got there. I began to work and of course they were paying me very well. I was still doing my work in the University. Very soon the principal of CMS Grammar School heard that there’s a good mathematics teacher from University of Lagos going to teach at Lagos Anglican Girls Grammar School. They sent for me and I began to do private practice there too.
Very soon, they sent for me from St. Finbarr’s College. Very soon, several other things began to come. I won’t ell you all but I suddenly discovered that at the end of the month what was coming in was three times what was coming in before and how did I do it? The time I used to waste talking rubbish. When my friends are busy drinking beer in the clubhouse I am busy doing PP! Very soon, my second hand car was changed and I was now riding a Toyota Crown. How many of you want to prosper? How many of you are ready for hard work? Let me hear you shout Alleluia! (Alleluia!).
When God is on your side, when you have made up your mind that now, I want to do the will of God, I want to be a friend of God, I want to be committed to His programme, the Bible says in Proverbs 15:6 In the house of the righteous is much treasure. In your house as long as you begin to do the will of the Almighty God there will be much treasure. The plan of God for your life is that before you finish spending this month’s income another one will come. (Amen!)
Something spectacular is going to happen tonight. (Amen!) But before we go deeper into the extra things God will do, let us give those who are not yet the friends of God the opportunity to become His friends. God is not going to give His miracles to dogs. If you are not yet born again I assure you that when God begins to transfer wealth, He’s going to take your own and give it to me. But if you will surrender your life to Him tonight and you become one of His children, I assure you as from tonight, your prosperity will begin.
So those of you who are here, who are not yet born again, from all over the place, come now God is calling you. Let Him save your soul. Let Him cleanse you in His blood. Let Him write your Name in the book of life and then He will begin to rebuke devourers for your sake. If you want to give your life to Jesus, come now. We have a lot to do tonight so if you want to give your life to Jesus don’t waste time, come right now. I’m going to count up to ten after that one the rest of us will begin to pray. We will know then that you have not made up your mind. But tonight is a night of salvation. God wants to save your soul. He wants to give you a new beginning.
So now, I’m beginning to count. One, two, three, four, five, six, seven, eight…now if you know you really, really, want to give your life to Jesus, come from all over the place now. This is the Day of Salvation – He will save your soul. He will forgive your sin. He will become your friend. You will become His partner and then He begins to rebuke devourers for your sake and He will begin to restore to you the days that the cankerworm had eaten. But you can’t be His enemy and expect Him to help you so if you really want to give your life to Him, come now! Six. seven, eight, the Lord is calling you now this is your final opportunity. Very, very soon, it will be too late, so come now quickly because it’s nine now. The Lord is giving you one final chance. Come on, come on quickly, come and surrender your life to Him. Why do you have to die poor? Why should you die a sinner? Why must you be a servant all the days of your life? Why must you be a borrower all the days of your life? Why must they always book you down every day of your life? Come on now the Lord is calling you. Now it’s nine and a half because of those who are far away. The Almighty God wants to save your souls. This is the last call now. Let’s hurry up, hurry up here.
Now those of you already in front begin to talk to the Almighty God and say, “Father, I have come to surrender my life to you. I want you to save my soul. I want to be your friend. I don’t want to be your enemy any longer. I’ve not gained anything from sin. All those days I‘ve been living in sin what has it profited me? Father, please, I’ve come to surrender my life to you tonight. Have mercy on me. Save my soul, please save my soul O Lord! Save my soul tonight and I will praise you, I will serve you for the rest of my life, I will serve you for the rest of my life. Now keep coming, keep coming, I see some of you still coming, keep coming, keep coming. The Almighty God loves you and those of us who are already born again, please pray for these people. Stretch your hands towards them and ask the Almighty God to save their souls. Ask God to be merciful to them. Pray for them brethren! Pray for them now! Those of you who are still coming, hurry up, hurry up, the Almighty God is calling you saying, “Come on now.” This is the Day of Salvation! Come on now the Lord is calling you!
Thank You Father! Keep coming, keep coming, the Lord is still waiting for you, hurry up. The gates of mercy are still open. Come on now the Lord is calling you, Thank You Father! Alleluia! Lord Thank You Jesus! In Jesus’ mighty Name we have prayed! (Amen!)
Father Almighty we just want to thank You for Your Word that brought forth these people for because You said in Your Word that no man can come unto me except my Father draws him. Thank You for drawing these people and thank You that they have not refused Your drawing. Please accept our thanks in Jesus’ Name. Father You said whosoever will come unto You, You will no wise cast out. These Your children have come to You receive them in Jesus’ Name. (Amen!) Forgive them in Jesus’ Name. (Amen!) Your blood that cleanses from all sins. Let it cleanse them from all their sins (Amen!) Save their souls. (Amen!) Write their Names in the Book of Life (Amen!) and let their lives change as from today. (Amen!) Father, when You begin to give us breakthroughs tonight, include them also in Jesus’ Name. (Amen!) Thank You Father! (Amen!) Glory be to Your Holy Name! in Jesus’ mighty Name we have prayed. (Amen!)
.... Things in your life that have been acts of disobedience to God that could cause God Himself to stand in your way of prosperity, talk to God about it. Tell Him you are sorry, tell Him that from tonight things will change. Tell Him from now you will obey Him completely. You will no longer play games with Him. You won’t pretend that 5% is 10% anymore, that you won’t cheat God anymore, you won’t rob God anymore, just make amends. Father, we know that you are a loving God and we know that Your mercy endureth forever. Accept our thanks in Jesus’ Name. (Amen!) Daddy, I’m standing in the gap for all your children tonight. Everything that any of us could have done that could cause your angel to block our way forgive tonight in Jesus’ Name. (Amen!) Your blood that cleanses from all sins, let it cleanse us from all our sins in Jesus’ Name. (Amen!) Beginning from today Father, let the tide turn. (Amen!) Let there be breakthroughs. (Amen!) Let glorious things begin to happen (Amen!) Father, every one of Your children here today give us mighty financial breakthroughs (Amen!) Thank You Father for we pray in Jesus’ mighty Name. (Amen!)
Glory be to God! We want to pray for a few minutes. We want to pray for ourselves, we want to pray for the government. We want to pray for the governor of Ondo State and all hi entourage who are here tonight. We want to pray for the Olowo of Owo who is visiting us again tonight and we want to pray for breakthroughs for Nigeria.
So shall we stand on our feet and first off all let us bless the Name of the Lord.. Let us thank the Almighty God for what He has already done and thank Him for what he will yet do.

Brethren, prosperity requires battle. The devil may try to convince you that poverty is good, you have to refuse.

I want you to pray violently and say, “Poverty, I say you will not stay near me, I refuse you, I refuse poverty, in the mighty Name of Jesus! I refuse poverty! Oh, yes, I refuse poverty for myself, I refuse poverty for my family, I refuse poverty, I refuse poverty for anyone that is precious to me, in the mighty Name of Jesus. Poverty will not stay near me at all, poverty will not stay in the Church of God. We refuse poverty today! In the mighty Name of Jesus we refuse poverty. Poverty will not stay in my home! Poverty will not stay near me, poverty will not stay anywhere in my surroundings, anywhere that is close to me or associated with me at all. Poverty you will not stay. I refuse you poverty! In the mighty Name of Jesus! (Amen!)

In Jesus’ mighty Name we have prayed. (Amen!) Amen! (Amen!) Let somebody shout alleluia! (Alleluia!) And then shake hands with one or two people and say, “God heard me you know, and the answer had come.” (Amen!)
Now if you believe that shout Alleluia! (Alleluia!) Let’s be seated. Now we’ve come to a very crucial moment in today’s programme. I promised you at the beginning that I would tell you all the truth, the whole truth and nothing but the truth. You said, that’s okay. Is it still okay (Yes) Are you sure? (Yes)
Genesis 48:17-20:
17 And when Joseph saw that his father laid his right hand upon the head of Ephraim, it displeased him: and he held up his father's hand, to remove it from Ephraim's head unto Manasseh's head. Anything that will transfer y our blessing tonight to somebody else, God will not allow. (Amen!)
18 And Joseph said unto his father, Not so, my father: for this is the firstborn; put thy right hand upon his head.
19 And his father refused, and said, I know it, my son, I know it: he also shall become a people, and he also shall be great: but truly his younger brother shall be greater than he, and his seed shall become a multitude of nations.
20 And he blessed them that day, saying, In thee shall Israel bless, saying, God make thee as Ephraim and as Manasseh: and he set Ephraim before Manasseh. We have a very deep mystery here. Jacob was about to die and Joseph brought his two sons before him, Ephraim and Manesseh for the parting blessing. So he put Manasseh on the left side so that the right hand of the father will be able to land on his head because Manaseeh was the firs born. And he put Ephraim on his own right side so that the left hand of the father will land on his head because Ephraim was the second born. Now Jacob was old, the eyes are no longer very good, but suddenly Jacob did a strange thing, he crossed his hand, put the right hand on the head of the second born, the left hand on the head of the first born.
When Joseph saw it, “Papa what are you doing? This is not the way.” He took off the hand of the father - “right hand Papa on the head of the first born, left hand on the head of the second born, that’s the way of God.” Jacob smiled. He said, I know what I am doing, I’m not the one doing it, there is a force guiding me. Don’t worry about your first born, he will become great he will become a people. As for the younger one he’s going to become a multitude of nations. Ephraim had a breakthrough because Gran’pa made a pronouncement. Even the father didn’t agree but the grandpa overruled Papa.
I’ve always told you that if your pastor curses you. If you run to the General Overseer he can cancel the curse. When it comes to blessing. Actually Jacob knew the importance of blessing because he stole one blessing some time ago – but on this particular time it was not Jacob acting, it was the Holy Spirit It was the Holy Spirit that crossed the hand and the right hand landed on the head of the one who didn’t deserve it. The right hand of God is going to land on the head of somebody here tonight. (Amen!)
I have said earlier on that all that God needs to do is command and blessing will begin to pursue the one who had been blessed. Deuteronomy 28 verse 2 says this blessing shall follow you and overtake you. It says, if you satisfy certain conditions that blessings will not only follow you, it will overtake you. For blessing to pursue you and overtake you means you are saying, this is too much and God says, I have not yet started. That is my portion, I know that one for my own. But at times God delegates the ability to make such a pronouncement to human beings. We know that once God has spoken, it is done, but at times God will raise up somebody and give him the authority to make such pronouncements on His behalf.
In 2 Chronicles 20:20 the Bible says, Believe God and you will be established, believe his prophets and you shall prosper. In other words, God through his prophets can make pronouncements of prosperity upon you. In fact, Matthew 10 verse 41 the Lord Himself said, if you receive a prophet, in a prophet’s name, you will receive the prophet’s reward. In other words, if the prophet makes.... if it is a true prophet of course, a prophet of God, if he makes a pronouncement on you, for blessing, then you are already blessed. That’s why those who are wise, from time to time, when they feel they need blessing, when they feel they need to jump forward, they find something and they go and give to a prophet. That is what is called, the prophet’s offering. And the prophet will look at it and say, “Ah, God bless you.” Or he receives the envelope and sees the name at the back and says, “Brother, so-so-so, sister so-so-so, you are blessed. And wherever you are the blessing now will begin to look for you and to pursue.
Now because of Jacob’s pronouncement, because he said, “Ephraim, you will be greater than Manasseh.” by the time we get to Deuteronomy 33:17 the Bible says, for every one thousand that you count for Manasseh, you find ten thousand for Ephraim. In other words if you begin to count the sheep of Manasseh and you count one thousand and you say, “Let us stop first.” And you turn to Ephraim and you say, “Ephraim how do you match this one thousand?” For every one thousand of Manasseh there were ten thousand of Ephraim.
You see when we talk about breakthroughs… I’ve explained that one to you before. ; that somebody who is digging a well, when he gets through to water he has a breakthrough. He can now drink, he can now wash, he can do a lot with the water in his well. But if somebody digs deeper, just kept on digging and digging and digging and suddenly he comes in contact with crude oil, that one now has a real breakthrough. He can buy as many wells of water as he wants. So there are breakthroughs and there are breakthroughs but there is the kind of breakthrough that goes with the right hand. There’s a breakthrough that takes care of your problems for the rest of your life; there is a breakthrough, which is the real turning point in your life. I’ve told you that in every man’s life a day comes when you take one step and you can say bye-bye to poverty and there is no way that your family can be poor again. Somebody’s going to take that step tonight. (Amen!) I believe that it will be more than one person. (Amen!)
But, this is a secret - every major breakthrough in the Scriptures had involved a very serious sacrifice. I will give you just one example tonight. Because tonight is not really a night for talking, it’s a night for God to show himself and He’s already here. I am sure you can feel Him too. And when He’s already around like that, I hurry up before he will push me aside so He can do His work.
In 1 Kings 17:8-16 there was a widow, she was about to die, no food in the house, no money in the account, no helper anywhere and suddenly a prophet showed up and said, “Woman, your day of breakthrough has come, no more hunger, no more pain, no more poverty, even if death comes to this house, we will chase it out. But, that your last meal go and bring it. If the woman had refused to surrender that meal that day she would have died soon and she would have died poor. But she brought the food and the Almighty God spoke through His prophet and said, no more lack in that house and that was the end of lack. In the house of somebody here tonight, there'll be no more lack.
When you need a break through the very little I know about my Daddy, so that nobody will accuse Him of partiality, He will ask you, “Bring me a breakthrough offering.”
I’m sharing something with you that I’m not sure I’ve shared with anyone before. About two years ago, that Special Holy Ghost Service of last year, as I was preparing, “God, I want a miracle for everybody, this time round.” And He said, “What will you give me?” I said, “What do you want Lord? Anything! You ask, I’ll give!” You remember. He said, “Give me your jeep.” I said, O God, because I had fallen in love with that one. “Okay, yes Lord!” The jeep went and many of you know many of the things that had happened at that time. Part of the things that came as a result of that singular, little sacrifice, was Lekki ’98.
Then came Special Holy Ghost this year. “Daddy, I need something.” He said, “I know what you need.” But you must ask. I said, “I want a deeper level of anointing.” I want a breakthrough, I want a breakthrough, a breakthrough in anointing. “ And He said, what will you give me. I said, what do you want Lord and He told me.. I’m not going to tell you this one now. “Okay, Lord..” I didn’t know that the answer would come so quickly. But it is from March that the lame have been walking and the blind seeing and miracles following. How often do I give a breakthrough sacrifice? It depends on how often you need a breakthrough.
I need another breakthrough now. For various reasons. Convention is next month and it has to be the best the world had ever seen. Festival ’99 is coming. It’s going to be for three days. That’s going to require special anointing. I need another breakthrough and I am ready to pay whatever it will cost. Is there anybody here tonight in need of a major breakthrough? I am not talking of the Manasseh kind, I’m talking of the Ephraim kind. Stand on your feet.
For two minutes commune with your God. Just ask Him, “what do you want me to give?” I want this major breakthrough. Will it be financial breakthrough you want, is it spiritual breakthrough you want? You know it, you know what that major breakthrough that will bring joy to you for the rest of your life. Ask Him “Lord, what do you want me to give you in return? Whatever it is Lord, give me the grace to do it. Give me the grace, give me the grace” So talk to the Lord for a minute
Thank You Lord! Blessed be Your Holy Name! In Jesus’ mighty Name we have prayed.
Those of you who have settled with God. You know what you want. You know what God wants and you are ready to give it to Him, please lift up your right hand. I am going to make some pronouncements and I am going to wave my right hand. Some weeks ago God said some things, He said to me, “Son, stop telling people that your hands are ordinary because they are not. You didn’t make them special. I did.” So these special hands by the special grace of God are going to move the wind through the special grace of God. (Amen!) The wind is going to touch all those right hands that you have lifted up. (Amen!) Now at the right moment you are going to place that right hand on your own head. When I tell you to do so you will do so and as you do so, the blessings that go with the right hand will land on your head. (Amen!) No matter how fast you may run, the blessings of tonight will continue to pursue you. (Amen!) and overtake you. (Amen!) Keep the right hand up there. Thank You Daddy. Oh, my Lord! Let the wind of the Holy Spirit begin to blow now touching all these right hands with your power, with your anointing, with Your breakthrough power, with Your blessings, with Your yoke-destroying anointing, destroying yokes of poverty, yokes of failure, yokes of retardation, yokes of barrenness, yokes of demons, yokes of sorrow, yokes of fear…destroying every yoke of defeat, destroying every yoke of the enemy. I pronounce Lord that special blessings that go with the right hand upon all these Your children that are here today, that from now on they will no more know what is called poverty or failure or lack or defeat all the days of their lives so that everything called barrenness, everything called sickness, everything called failure, everything called inability to rise will disappear (Amen!) will disappear (Amen!) will disappear (Amen!) will disappear (Amen!) And now the blessings of the Almighty God the God of Abraham, the God of Isaac, the God of Jacob will begin to pursue you and overtake you.! (Amen!) Whatever you touch from now on will begin to prosper! (Amen!) Physically (Amen!) Materially (Amen!) Financially (Amen!) Emotionally (Amen!) Maritally (Amen!) Ministerialy (Amen!) Spiritually (Amen!) From now on, you will begin to prosper! (Amen!) Put the right hand on your head and begin to pray and begin to pray for yourself. Say, yes, I receive it in the mighty Name of Jesus! I receive that supernatural abundance that only the Almighty can give, the supernatural abundance of faith, of boldness, of anointing, of financial breakthroughs on the right, on the left, in front and behind to the glory of God! Receive it with thanksgiving Lord! Thank You Jesus! Oh, Blessed be Your Holy Name Lord! Thank You Jesus!
Among all your peers you will be far, far above! (Amen!) From now on you will be head only! (Amen!) You will never be tail! (Amen!) You will never borrow again! (Amen!) Very soon, you’ll be lending to nations! (Amen!) And your children shall be greater than you shall! (Amen!) And your grandchildren shall be greater than they. (Amen!) So shall it be! (Amen!) Bye-bye to failure! (Amen!) Bye-bye to defeat! (Amen!) Bye-bye to sorrow! (Amen!) Bye-bye to poverty! (Amen!) Welcome to prosperity! (Amen!) Welcome to victory! (Amen!) Welcome to joy! (Amen!) Welcome to abundance! (Amen!) Welcome to abundance! (Amen!) Welcome to abundance! (Amen!) So shall it be (Amen!), in Jesus mighty Name (Amen!) Thank You Daddy, blessed be Your Name. If you believe that shout Alleluia! (Alleluia!)
It’s Brother Francis About three months ago my wife miss so we have been looking for my wife about three months ago. She left three kids. We print photograph. Go to police station. The family they said maybe I have used her for money. Many opinions have been made concerning this woman. I said if I did not see her before the Holy Ghost, I will not come. To God be the glory, just yesterday a message came to me…Praise the Lord!
Praise the Lord! Praise the living Jesus! My name is Kehinde Adeboye. I thank the Almighty that I am here to testify to the goodness of God in my life. Despite that the devil doesn’t want me to testify to the goodness of God today because I’ve been planning since four days ago but on my way coming, the vehicle that helped me from toll gate, I forgot something that is tangible inside that vehicle, that thing is bothering me but I still made myself that I will testify to the goodness of God today. What happened is that since 1997 March my menstruation just stopped. I don’t know what to do. I waited till maybe four months. I consult a doctor and he said I should go and bring two thousand. By then I don’t have N10. I left there, I discussed this thing with my twin sister, Taiye. By then my mother was alive, I could not tell my mother, I did not discuss it with any body.. (Tell us what happened!) But I always tell this to my God. Last Holy Ghost night I told my God that “Lord, I want to know the purpose of my coming to this Holy Ghost night.” If I did not menstruate in this month of June, I will not come to this Holy Ghost night again!” But to God be the glory, last Friday, 24th of June, God restored my menstruation! Praise the Lord!
Praise the Lord! It was on the Holy Ghost Service of April. My name is Brother Duke Aja. It was on the Holy Ghost Night of April this year, I came and when our father in the Lord asked that people that had not given their lives to God should come out and give their life, I came out and gave my life to God and the man of God that was ministering unto me said I should write my prayer request. I wrote my prayer request that if my brother who left home since 1980, although we knew that he was alive, that God should bring him and on getting home, after about two weeks, my brother, from nowhere, came back!
Again last month when we came for the Holy Ghost Service, Baba prayed and said that our compatriots, our friends, our neighbours would envy us because of the glory of God in our lives. And God blessed me so much that they are envying me, they even want to evict me from the house! Praise the Lord!
Praise the living Jesus! My name is Miss Funso Adesina. I thank God for healing me of chest pain, breast pain and appendix during the February Holy Ghost Service. And again when the word of knowledge came from the mouth of our father in the Lord that God is working on the back today I received my healing because before I normally had backache, so I thank God for healing me. And thirdly, I thank God for my admission because I had a great delay for about six years but I thank God that now I’m admitted. The only thing I want the people of God to pray for us is that UI is yet to cooperate with the students, that God should just intervene.
Praise the Lord! I am Sister Funke Oladipo. At the April Holy Ghost Service which happened to be a Good Friday I came with my husband and our car was stolen at the Holiness Car Park. The car was recovered. We got to know about the recovery of the car towards the end of May but my husband got back the car two days ago. I also bless the Name of the Lord for my husband’s heart’s desire being met – he’s elected as the speaker of the Ogun State House of Assembly! I bless the Name of the Lord!
Praise the Lord! My name is Sister Iyabode Jaiyeola for the past four years after I gave birth to this child. After some months after I gave birth, I discovered that he’s not growing, because before that time I had a dream, I saw many snakes, big ones, they wanted to carry this child away from me! So I said, by the special grace of God this child is mine, you are not taking it away from me, it’s mine so I took the child from the snake. After that I discovered that the baby is not developing, so we went to LUTH. When we got to LUTH they say that it’s a Downs Syndrome. Then I rebuked it. I said, In the Name of Jesus my child is not a Down syndrome! After many years it started growing small, small. So after, when we came to this May Holy Ghost Night I discovered that after the prayer the boy just left my hand and started walking about. The same time when we got home the next day Saturday, he left the table and started walking about the sitting room. I really praise God and I want the Lord God to finish His work on him. Thank You Lord Jesus! Praise the Lord!
Praise the Lord! The Lord is good. I thank God for what God has done in my life and I don’t want to lose my testimony that’s why I’ve come forward to give it. During the Special Holy Ghost Service normally, I couldn’t barb skin cut, so our father in the Lord said God said there’s somebody here who doesn’t like the shape of his head and since then I can now have a clean cut to God be the glory!
That’s not what he said. I remember God said during the Special Holy Ghost Service that there was someone in the congregation who didn’t like the shape of his head. God said He has corrected the shape. That's the brother. Let’s give the Lord a big hand. Thank You Father!
Well at least I know there is someone here tonight who will never, never, never be in debt again. (Amen!) The Almighty God told us once here that one of the problems with many of us is that when we receive a miracle we don’t thank Him for it and that’s why we don’t get another. For me tonight, is the greatest Holy Ghost Night we have ever held. I know what God has done. I know the voltage of the heavenly electricity that passed through this place tonight. I know in advance the number of testimonies that will come as a result of tonight. I personally want to give thanks to God tonight and I know there are some people who will join me…..
Thank You Lord! The Lord says there’s someone here tonight you are like a dry riverbed. The Lord asked me to tell you, that before the end of this year that riverbed will overflow with water. (Amen!)
Father, we want to bless Your Holy Name. Thank You Lord! Thank You Lord! Last Friday we had the Holy Ghost Service in Germany, it was a great success. When we were about to finish, the Lord says that there was someone in the congregation who should write something and paste it at the back of his door. Now the Lord told me just now that what He said in Germany is also true here: that there is someone here tonight who should get a good piece of paper and write down “Celebration cometh!” “Celebration cometh!” And you should put it at the back of your door. Every day when you wake up, you will see it there. It’s the promise of God to you that very soon you’ll be celebrating. (Amen!)
Father thank You for celebration cometh. Oh, Glory be to Your Holy Name! Bless the thanksgiving offering of your children. Sanctify it. Use it for your glory. The Lord said there is someone here who said, “Lord, you have not mentioned my case.” The Lord asked me to tell you, what else do you want to hear, I’ve told you ‘you shall weep no more.’ (Amen!) Father, as your children are going, go with them. (Amen!) Protect them. (Amen!) Keep on blessing them. (Amen!) Every evil on their way, I cancel in Jesus’ Name. (Amen!) By the time we meet next month let there be so many people shouting, “My celebration has come!” (Amen!) Thank You Father! Glory be to Your Name! In Jesus mighty Name we have prayed. Let somebody shout alleluia! (Alleluia!)
Alleluia!
Pastor E. A. Adeboye
