For this May edition of the holy ghost service that will be taking place on the of May. It's going to be a special one because the theme says in partnership with fire. In partnership with what? With fire. Now you can stream that program on YouTube, on Facebook, if you have DSTV, you can tune to ah Dove TV. On Friday, that program will be starting from 7 PM. As you join, God will surround you with his fire. And his fire will ahead of you and consume all of your enemies in Jesus name. Amen. Let me hear a good amen. Amen. Also I want to remind you. Because what the Lord is bringing our way this morning is powerful. And it will bless your life. This month if you remember, our theme for April is heavenly blessings. Then last Sunday was the youth Sunday, God bless the youths. They brought down the spirit of God here. And we enjoyed the presence of God. They talked about above. And I'm sure that by now, the Lord has lifted you above principalities and power. And you will continue to be above in Jesus name. Amen. As if that is not enough. The Lord gave us a theme for today. And the theme for today said, tell my people that they shall be ahead. If I were you, I will personalize it, I will say I shall be ahead. Okay, let's bring it closer. Say I will be ahead. As you have confessed, that will be your portion in Jesus name. Evidently that is what we are looking at this morning and that is where God want to take us to. You shall be ahead. Now when we talk about being ahead, what do we really mean? It means God putting you in a vintage position. That will give you an advantage. And when God does that for you, it will come with peace and security. I am very sure That somebody here this morning, that is what God is said to do in your life in the mighty name of Jesus. Amen. There is a story in the bible I will like you to see because it will help us further to understand what it means to be ahead. Hallelujah. And if you are sure, you are that person that God is taking ahead. After this program, shout hallelujah. You know the bible says we shall be the head and not the tail that will be your portion in Jesus name. Amen. Now second kings chapter six, that is the story I want to show you. If you are writing, you can write down second Kings chapter six verse eight to twenty three. But we may not be having time to read all of those verses. I will read some and paraphrase some. Second Kings chapter six verse eight to twenty-3, please media, I would like to read the new living translation. The new living translation, if you have that, if you don't, I have it here. I will read and you will listen. Second Kings chapter six, let's just read verse eight, verse nine, and verse ten, for now. Now verse eight says, when the king of Aram was at war with Israel, he would confirm with his officers and say, we will mobilize our forces. At such and such a place. But immediately, Elisha, the man of God would warn the king of Israel. Do not go near that place. For the Aramis are planning to mobilize their troop. there. So the king of Israel will send word to the place indicated by the man of God. Now listen to this, it says time and again. Elisha warned the king. So that he would be on the alert. Where? There. You can refresh that statement to mean. So that he will be ahead of his enemies. Elisha was never at that meeting. Whenever they gather to mobilize, to conspire against the king of Israel, Elisha was never in the meeting. And the question is that, how did he get to know? How did he get to hear that conversations? How did he get to know their plans and their strategies? How did he get to know? Ladies and gentlemen, I want you to realize this morning. That the eyes of God are everywhere. His ears are everywhere. Hallelujah. In that secret place where your enemies are gathering strategizing on how to damage your destiny God is seeing them. God is hearing them. And do you know what the Bible says about that? The Bible has a response to that. Isaiah chapter 54 verse fifteen. Isaiah chapter 54 verse fifteen. I read from here. He said behold they shall surely gather together. He said but not by me. And listen to this, he say whosoever shall gather together against you. shall fall, for your sake. Look at the way you are saying amen. Amen. If you know who is speaking, you will see a better amen. Whosoever, whosoever, he said, it doesn't matter who the person is. Or the position the person is occupying, or the influence the person has, or the power the person consults. Whosoever, that is the statement. Shall gather against you. He said for your sake they shall fall. It means for your sake they will die. Amen. And I pray for somebody here this morning. Whatever it is the enemies are plotting against you The almighty God will overturn it against them in Jesus name. Hallelujah. Amen the bible said three nations came against a king. Another king this time around. His name Jehoshaphat. And the guy went to God. Cry to God. I need your help. I cannot fight this this nations. Because the Bible say theory, powerful nations. Why were there envious of Jehoshaphat? Because God has put him ahead as a king. Rise to your feet, we must pray this prayer now. Hallelujah. There is somebody here. You know. That what is happening in your life. What is happening in your family, you know that this one is not ordinary. There is something to eat. As you pray this morning, God will answer you. Amen. Are you ready to call upon this God? Because this God can take care of your enemy. You will cry to him and say father. According to your word. All those that engage my progress Arise against them now. Let them be consumed. Go ahead and begin to cry to God. Cry to him. Cry to him. The Bible say we should not be ignorant. Of the devices of the devil. The works of darkness are everywhere. Whosoever shall gather against you shall fall for your sake father everyone every man every woman every conspiracy Every plot. Against my life. Against my destiny. Against my career. Scatter them by fire. Destroy them oh Lord. Let them fall for my sake. In the name of Jesus Christ, let them fall this morning. Let them fall now. In the mighty name of Jesus. Every conspirators. Every conspiracy. Every power that have joined forces together. Whether in the coven, whether in the air, wherever they may be. Whoever they may be, Arise against them, Let them fall now. In the mighty name of Jesus. Thank you father. Blessed be your holy name. In Jesus name we have prayed. It shall be so in Jesus name. Please take your seat. God bless you. The Bible says do not give room to the devil. And he says suffer not the wage to live. This is not the time to be gentle. Amen. I have come to announce to somebody here this morning. The Lord is taking you ahead. And that is why we are doing what we are doing this morning. According to instructions. Amen. Amen. And let me share this story with you then we pray another prayer. One of my neighbor, a pastor's wife. She was sharing with us recently. Or sometimes ago. She said they were, they were on a journey, I think they were coming back from a program. And their vehicle suddenly developed a fort. And they parked by the road. And the husband began to look for a stone. To wage the car. Now he now went into the bush looking for a stone that can perform that task for him. Eventually he saw one. As he went there to lift it up. Beneath it. He saw that somebody buried a charm far in the bush, middle of nowhere. And because he was a pastor, he knew what that is by revelation. He started praying. At a point he picked up the charm. He said it was tied with all sort of fetish elements. He picked it up. Started praying. And he began to lose it. As he was losing it, he saw a key. So he set the key free. Ladies and gentlemen, it was not a coincidence. Somebody has prayed. It was God's plan to stop that vehicle there. Because that was the day that the Lord wanted to bring deliverance. To that persons whose destiny has been caged. You don't know what that key has locked. In that person's destiny, but God sent somebody there. To unravel it. So that that person will be free. I don't know you. You may be here. And somebody has tied your destiny somewhere. Today is your day of freedom. I say today is your day of freedom. And I want to decree in the name of Jesus. Whatever fetish elements the enemy has used against you. Or are using against you. As you will pray now. The Lord will destroy them. Amen. I said the Lord will destroy them. Rise to your feet, you are going to pray violently. Servantly. You are going to call the holy ghost fire three times. Then I will give you the prayer point. Are you ready? Yes sir. Are you ready? Yes sir. Say holy ghost fire. Holy ghost fire. For the last time, say holy ghost. Fire. Lift up your voice and say father. All those wicked relatives. Who are using the power of darkness against my progress in life. By your fire this morning. Consume them now. Go ahead and pray. Somebody pray this morning. All those wicked relatives. All those wicked family members. Using the power of darkness. Against my progress in life. Father let your fire consume them now. Your fire. Your fire. The holy ghost fire, let it consume. All those wicked relatives in my father's house, in my mother's house, using the power of darkness. Against my progress in life. Slowing me down. Causing me to retrogress. This morning. Visit them by your fire. Visit them by your fire. Do not spare them. Enough is enough. I shall be ahead. No forces of darkness can stop me. I am the head. I am ahead. Thank you father. Blessed be your holy name. Daddy we give you glory. Jesus name we pray the Lord will consume them all. Not one of them will be left. In the mighty name of Jesus. Please take your seat and clap for Jesus. I want you to know that this God that has been rescuing that king of Israel will rescue you this morning If you want to be ahead in this war zone called life. Then you must be ready to partner with God. Because he's the one that say you shall be the head. Because he want you to be ahead. He will take you there in Jesus name. Amen. You know there was a time in Moses ministry. The Lord was giving him an assignment. Moses, this is what I want you to do. Do you know what he said? He said if you are not going with me, I'm not going anywhere. He said don't bother sending us anywhere. If you are not going. And the Lord said, I will go with you. Moses knew by experience. What it means to have God as a partner. Because this world we are living in, is a war zone. There are wicked people everywhere. They want you to be ahead. Some are jealous of your state now. And they will do anything. To retrogress you, to set you back. But this morning the Lord will move you forward. Exodus chapter thirteen. Let's have a bit of Moses's experience with God. Exodus chapter thirteen verse twenty one and twenty two. Exodus thirteen. 21 and 22. The Bible says, and the Lord went before them. By day. How? In a pillar of cloud. To do what? To lead the way. Did he stop there? No. And by night, how? A pillar of fire to give them what? Light. So that they can be ahead and never be slowed down in that journey. He was doing it because of something. Let's continue to read. So as to go by day and night he did not take away the pillar of cloud by day or the pillar of fire by night from before the people and the question is why? In the nature of God he has the omniscient qualities meaning he knows everything. What is happening now? What will happen later? What will happen even to the future? Many years to come, God already knows. He knows. And because he knew that Pharaoh was going to pursue the children of Israel, even though he said he has let them go. Don't forget, God said earlier, that he will harden the heart of pharaoh. So that he can have glory over Pharaoh. So he knew already that Pharaoh was going to pursue them. With what? Horses and chariots. And because of that, he made a way. Quickly. For his children. To be at the verge of the sea before Pharaoh can catch up with them he knew Because God already have settled it in his mind. By understanding that this seed I'm going to bury Pharaoh. And his cohorts. His officers, his chariots. In that sea. He knew. And do you know what? Pharaoh also knew. That there was a Red Sea. Ahead of the children Israel that that red sea was going to trap them. So it's going to catch up with them. However, fast. Pharaoh knew that, but what he did not know was the plan of God for him. And I prophesy to somebody here this morning. The plan of God for your life, the enemy will not be able to truncate it in Jesus name. I decree, you will live in that plan in the land of the living in Jesus name. Is it not amazing? That it was the same gallows. That Haman prepared to hand Modecaiah. Was the same gallow. The Lord used to hang him. Every enemy that want to hang you. Every plan they have strategized to do it God will turn it around for your favor and against them in Jesus name. You better say a good amen. Amen. If you like, you can call today warfare Sunday. Because by all means, God will take you ahead. Hallelujah. Amen. Believe me when I say this. God knows how to put you ahead of your enemies. God knows how to put you ahead of your contemporaries. God know how to position you. So that you will be in peace and have security. He will do that for somebody here this morning in Jesus name. Let's go back to that story in second kings, I want to read verse eleven and verse twelve. Before I make the next statement, second kings chapter six verse eleven and verse twelve, the same new living translation, if you don't mind media. Verse eleven, chapter six, second kings. It says, the king of Aram became very upset over this. Over what? Over the fact that the king of Israel was always getting information about his hands, he didn't know how it was happening. He was upset. He called his officers together and demanded, which of you is the traitor? Because there is a traitor. How come that king knows what we are planning in our secret place? You know, some people when they want to hold those evil meeting, 1 AM, 2 AM, where is the venue? Cemetery. Wicked people. That's what they do. That is why the Bible say, while men slept, the enemy came and did what? Sow tears. That is what they do. If you read the Bible very well, you will get to a point where the Bible says that they will not rest until they perform their what? Their wickedness. Also you will not rest. Until you pray and pray and God answers. The king was upset. Who is that traitor? Who has been informing the king of Israel of my plans. But one of them, I believe God gave that person revelation. Or that person knew about that prophet called Elisha. He must have known. Because the respond he gave made me to assume that. What did he say? Verse twelve. It's not us. We are not the traitor. My king. We are not. He said Elisha. The prophet in Israel. Tells the king of Israel. Even the words you speak, where? In the privacy of where? Your bedroom. Can somebody clap for this God? You don't need to be in that meeting. Where evil is being planned Your God is always there. He knows what they are doing. That's why you need to partner with him. The Bible say our God is the God of all flesh. Meaning he's in control of everybody. That is made of body, soul and spirit. The God of all flesh. What did he say next? He say our God is the father of spirit. Meaning it can be everywhere at the same time. He has the ability to do that. His eyes are everywhere. His ears, ears, everything. That goes on in this universe. And I pray for somebody. The Lord will fight for you. Amen. I said the Lord will fight for you. No. How do I partner with God. So that I will always be ahead of my enemy. That's a very good question. And the answer is here this morning. How do I? Partner with this God. So that I will always be ahead of my enemy. Now let me say this to you. If you're not, if you are not ahead of your enemy, in this journey of life, if you are not ahead of your enemy, very soon, God forbid That person's head will be on their butt. That's why you need to be ahead. And don't be afraid. Because you have a God that can take you there. And I pray for you this morning. God will always protect you and your family in Jesus name. But you must partner with him. You must be a partner. Now how do I do that? The first thing you must do. Is to follow God. Follow who? Follow who? Follow Ronaldo. Follow Beyonce. Follow who? Thank God we are in a twenty first century Information era. Many of us have people we are following. Instagram, whatever social handle. The person you should be following very closely, is who? Let me hear that word from your mouth. John chapter ten verse twenty seven. John 10 twenty seven. Again, new living translation. The Bible says, my sheep. Listen to my voice. I know them. And they do what? They follow me. My sheep hear my voice. And I know them. And they do what? They follow me. Today, many Christians have become wiser than God. They do whatever they want. Whenever they want. If you are that kind of person, there is no way you will be ahead of your enemy. No way. But you must follow this God. Because he always know whenever your enemies are gathered. He knows their plan. He knows when they are going to harsh the plan. He knows how to scatter their plan. He knows how to rescue you. Why won't you partner with somebody like that? If you want to be ahead, you must do that. Number two. How do I partner with God? So that I can be ahead of my enemies. Number two, God. What did I say? Serve God. Don't serve yourself, don't serve your flesh. Many of us today we serve our self. We serve our flesh. We always do things. That will please us. Selfish, self center, egocentric You want to be ahead of your enemy, you must change that mindset. Serve God, not yourself. Joshua twenty four, 14 and 15. Joshua chapter twenty four verse fourteen and fifteen. The Bible says, now therefore, fear who? The Lord. Serve him how? In sincerity and in truth. What did he say next? Put away the Gods. Which your father served. On the other side of the river and in Egypt. Serve who? The Lord. Now when he's saying put away the Gods, you may not be serving the Gods of your father as an idol in quote. But what about money? What about material things? What about those things? That makes you lie, makes you steal, makes you defraud other people. Just because you want to enjoy some kinds of pleasure. Those things are God's. He say serve the Lord. What did he say next? And if it seems evil to you to serve the Lord, he said choose for yourself this day, whom you will what? Whom you will serve, you man must serve something. Man is created to worship something. And the right thing to worship, to serve, is God, your maker. Many people in the world today will leave the creator and be serving his creation. Is that right? Some irony. It's foolishness. He said whether the Gods which your father serve that were on the other side or the river or the Gods of the Amorite he said in this land you dwell but how did it end it? But as for me and my house we we serve the Lord Hallelujah. Some Christians are too big today. Too big to serve God. Too busy for God. Have time and they are chasing after infemeral things. Things that you are going to live on this earth when you die. You are putting them above God. That is foolishness. I was watching a video, a short clip, and the person was narrating. He said this this is what happen when we die. And in that video, they showed the person's possession. Is house, his cows, his wealth, his gold, everything. And somebody else came. And they were what? They were packing it. They were packing it. Say this is what will happen. When somebody dies. Don't lose your salvation. At the expense of material gains. You are not taking anything with you when you die. Nothing. Nothing. It is either you serve God truthfully. Or you serve your enemies shamefully. Is either of the two. Jesus Christ said there is no sitting on the fence on this matter. He said you will choose who you will serve. Says either you are hot. Or you are what? Or you are cold. Choose one. No sitting on the fence. I pray. That the Lord will help us to serve him in Jesus name. Amen. Please say a better amen. Amen. And the last one, Complete obedience. Complete what? Obedience. Philippians chapter two verse eight to nine. Let's see an example of somebody that humbled himself. And obeyed God to the end Complete obedience. Second Kings chapter eight and nine. I mean chapter two verse eight and nine. The Bible says, he humbled himself in obedience to who? To God. And died a criminal's death on a cross. New living translation. Therefore, God elevated him to the place of highest and gave him the name above all other names. Now, one of the ways Jesus got his name. And the name carry fire and power. Is what? By obedience, complete obedience. So if you learn to completely obey God, he will put you ahead always. Of your enemies. And they cannot plunder you. When I was preparing for this message, I got a revelation. God told me. I heard him. He said, you can never lose. When you obey me. Never loose. Because you know, the way we do things in this world today. Because of what we want to benefit, because of what we want to gain. We will cut corners. We do that. We will say what we ought not to say. We do that. We will bow down to who we ought not to bow down to. We do that. Because of what we are looking to get. Now for that person that is completely obedient, he will forget all those things. His focus is always on Jesus. He will miss those things. And people of the world will say you, you are a fool. You don't behave like other people are behaving. Look at you. God said even if they are calling you fool, he say at the end of the day, you will never lose. They will be the one to lose. He told me that and I said that to say this a story about a mechanic in Port Harcourt. True story. I saw it myself. Mechanic, very honest. Very obedient mechanic Anytime customers brings cars to be fixed, he will tell them this is what is wrong with the car. The truth. He will tell them this is how much it cost to fix this car. The truth. If you, even though you go and find that yourself, you want to go and buy the part yourself. When you go to the market, you will see that it's exactly the same thing he has said to you. Nothing added. When he finishes your work, if there is a change, he will give it back to you. Except you give it to him, yourself. He doesn't keep any money that doesn't belong to him. A mechanic in Nigeria, Port Harcourt. For years, he has been like that. One day, a particular church The general overseer heard about this man. He said, is it true? He said yes. Mechanic, he said yes. He said I want to see this man. And they brought him. And they gave the man some training. And made him to head their finance department. Church, meaning what? People in the church were not honest with the money. A mechanic outside came. And when the church was celebrating their I think twentieth anniversary The general overseer surprised that man. He bought a house. In Port Harcourt, choice area. Five bedroom apartment. Furnished. And on a Sunday like this, they called the man and gave him the key. Honesty, obedience. He told me he said you will never lose. People were taking other mechanics will be thinking that this one is a fool. Doesn't know how to make profit, doesn't know how to make money. But look at it. Look at it. The Bible say when your obedience is complete, then God will arise for you. I pray that he will help us to be obedient all the way to the very end in Jesus name. God cannot put you ahead. If you are not following him. Because he said, I know my sheep. He said they listen to my voice. And they follow me. We want to pray just one prayer, and that will be the last one. And I know God will settle you based on all we have heard today. Today is your day in Jesus name. You don't believe. For somebody here, I say today is your day in Jesus name. He will settle your case. Hallelujah. You must follow him. And that's why I want us to bow down our head. Everyone of us. Close your eyes, bow down your head. The Lord has spoken to you this morning. Can you also talk to him? Father, I want to partner with you. Yes. I want to be ahead. Enough of retrogression. I want to be ahead. Enough of stagnancy. I want to be ahead. And I know you can take me ahead. You have done it for people in the past. My own will not be too hard for you to do. In fact, there is nothing impossible for you to do. Can you go ahead and talk to God? But if you are here this morning, and you have not yet surrendered to Jesus. You are not Jesus. He cannot take you ahead. That is the first thing you need to do. So that he will be sure that you belong to him. If you want to belong to Jesus this morning, I want to pray with you. Is something urgent. Place your left hand on your chest. God bless you my brother. Is something urgent? We have to do it quickly. God bless you. I want to pray with you now. Can you raise up your right hand?
