Somebody shout HALLELUYAH!!! with me. is good to be back on the block. Sorry, i left on a long assignment across the nation without informing God's people. it was urgent and compulsory. Thank God for me, for journey mercies on the air and road.

Frankly, i saw the good, the bad, and the terrible. We really need to pray more for our Jerusalem (Nigeria). Talents abound but poverty, illiteracy, misinformation,over bearing power of the elites e.t.c are things God must take away from our midst.

Meanwhile, its 1derful to be back. Missed you all. A big well come to all our new entrants, You wont regret being here,Old saints, lets keep the fire burning.

To cap it all, My wife reminded me today, that i ve added another yr to my numerous years.Thanks for our wives some of us wont know when we clock a century.

Please, don't send cards or, , Only prayers and CASH. And accomodation, i still need one.

SHALLOM!!!

PASTOR ADEBOYE'S TESTIMONIES.

I hope this really blesses you.

JESUS - the gift that perfectly fits the size of every heart

Please READ these testimonies given by the General Overseer (GO) of the
Redeemed Christian Church of God, Pastor Enoch Adeboye and PRAY
accordingly!!! Be blessed as you read.

(GO) A woman brought her child. That child will probably be between 9 and
10. And said this child had never spoken before please pray for this child.
(GO) I laid my hand on this child and I said, In the Name of Jesus and the
child said 'Amen!' I have not prayed yet! I just said: In the Name of
Jesus! And the child that had never spoken before said 'Amen! I nearly
jumped out of the window. The mother was on the floor rolling! That kind of
miracle that will make you roll on the ground for joy God will give you
this year! (Amen!)

(GO) Once upon a time when I was a lecturer in one University I won't
mention which one; there was a particular man who was not promoted for 12
years because somebody hid his file. But when his time came there was a
change of Head of Department and the new Head of Department said I want to
see the file of everybody in my Department. They searched and searched
until finally they dug it out where somebody hid it. Your file that had
been hidden by the enemy shall be brought out this year. (Amen!) And they
discovered this man should have been promoted at least twice and they gave
him double promotion.

(GO) I was invited to Port Harcourt , Nigeria . Full Gospel Business men
had a program, they asked me to come and preach. When I finished the first
preaching that night one man came and said sir, my wife is sick, in
hospital; please could you come and pray for her. So we made arrangement
for the following day. The following day we went there. The wife had been
completely helpless on the sick bed, she could not even turn but I prayed
for her and the one who had not been able to even talk escorted me to the
door! I didn't come to Port Harcourt for this man! I came for a program,
heaven was just passing by and this man tapped into it! Heaven is passing
by tonight, somebody is going to tap into it and your sickness will
disappear. If you believe that let me hear you say 'Amen!' (Amen!)

(GO) A sister came to one of the Programs in Ebute Metta, Lagos years ago,
and the Word came just as it is coming now that there is a sister whose
mother didn't want her to marry. That if the mother does not release her,
Mama herself will be buried within 7 days. A Word just came like that and I
announced it. I don't know which sister was concerned. The following day
the sister came with the mother. The mother was very furious. That's the
way you stupid prophets spoil the head of our girls, telling my daughter
that I will die because I didn't allow her to marry. I said me? Sister Did
I say that? She said the prophecy that came yesterday. What God said is
that there is a sister here Did I mention your name? I said Mama don't mind
her, nobody mentioned her name!! She was just claiming what is not her own.
The mother said, oh-oh is that so? She said, all right. She asked the lady
to go out and the lady went out and she said Pastor, but is it true that
th! e
mother will die? I said I'm not talking about you oh I'm not talking about
you, but what God told me is going to come to pass, so if you are the one
and I'm not saying it is you before the week runs out whoever it is, is
going to be buried. Ehhhh, I'm not asking her not to marry but who is going
to take care of me after. I said Mama that's simple; I can tell her and
tell the husband to take good care of you. I will make them promise. That's
if she can marry. Within 6 months, this girl who was almost 40 years old
and nobody had looked in her direction before there is somebody here today,
anybody who says you will not marry will not see the end of January because
loneliness must end!

(GO) I went to visit a family and at that time I didn't know that the
woman of the house was a number one witch and that she had reached an
agreement with her husband in the spirit realm that of every two children
born one will die one will survive. And there was this little girl that she
had given birth to. She was one of those that were to die. In fact that was
the day that the girl was to die. We didn't know at that time so we went
there to greet the family and as I was about to leave that girl stretched
forward towards me. She was at the back of the mother stretched out,
stretched towards me in such a manner as I had not option other than to
carry the child. We were to learn later that this child never, never allows
anyone else to carry her. But something told the girl, you are dying today
unless just stretched towards me so I carried the girl and I prayed. I
didn't know what I was doing: Father bless this child, keep sickness away
from her, keep
death away from this child. And the yoke was broken! It wasn't long after
that when the mother began to confess: I killed this one, I killed this
one, I killed this one, I killed this one the day I was to kill this one he
this troublesome pastor came by and took the child from me. Today every one
of you that the enemy had decided death for I cancel that one in Jesus'
Name! (Amen!)

(GO) There's a young man that had been coming from America again and again
to testify. When I first met him, old as he was, he was always weeping like
a baby. He's married; he's got children but he's always weeping! My wife
used to say before you begin to weep again don't start oh! Because he had
known so much sorrow. The father left home when he was a child one sorrow
after the other but now it is one miracle after the other. He was telling
his church people, because he's a Pastor, he said, some how since I met
Pastor Adeboye it's one miracle after the other! One miracle after the
other!

(GO) We went to a Holy Ghost Service in Kaduna , Nigeria and I wanted to
go to the toilet while the choir was singing and there was this brother who
was an usher standing somewhere near the toilet. So he greeted me and I
shook hands with him. I didn't know he was rejoicing. So I went to the
toilet. Apparently he has told the other ushers he shook my hand, he shook
my hand! When I was coming back there were about half a dozen of them! So I
shook hands with them. I didn't know that one of them had received one
before he shook my hand the second time and he put his hand in his pocket.
He got home and he told the wife who had been barren for years bring your
stomach, the GO shook my hand 2 times! 9 months later the baby came. Your
hands will be blessed tonight! (Amen!) I say Your hands will be blessed
tonight! (Amen!)



Forget the troubles that passed away, but remember the blessings that come
each day.

In the public hospital of Itaguaí (RJ) last weekend
was born a girl with hands joined together, like one
who's praying.

The doctors told the parents that they would operate
the hands of that girl, and that they would give her
antistatic.
The operation was easy because it seemed
like the hands were simple glued together one membrane
(skin) layer apart.

When they opened up the hand of that child, you can't
imagine what was written,

JESUS IS COMING BACK, The doctors started weeping and
all that were in the hospital.

The suburb of Itaguaí is undergoing a movement now,
People that have withdrawn from church are going back
and others are receiving Jesus Christ as the only
savior.
God send that child simply to convey that message.
After a few hours she died: JESUS IS COMING BACK

I have received now I'm passing on!!!

The Lord of Lords is coming back.
"Seek you the LORD while HE may be found, call you
upon Him while He is near:" Isaiah 55:6

While crossing the street one day a Member of Parliament is tragically hit by
a truck and dies. His
soul arrives in heaven and is met by St. Peter at the entrance.

"Welcome to heaven," says St. Peter. "Before you settle in, it seems there is
a problem. We have never had a high official around these parts, you see, so
we're not sure what to do with you."

"No problem, just let me in," says the man.

"Well, I'd like to, but I have orders from higher up. What we'll do is have
you spend one day in hell and one in heaven. Then you can choose where to
spend eternity."

"Really, I've made up my mind. I want to be in heaven," says the Member of
Parliament.

"I'm sorry, but we have our rules." And with that, St.Peter escorts him to
the elevator and he goes down,
down, down to hell.

The doors open and he finds himself in the middle of a green golf course. In
the distance is a clubhouse and
standing in front of it are all his friends and other politicians who had
worked with him.

Everyone is shaking his hand, and reminiscing about the good times they had
while getting rich at the expense of the people.

They play a friendly game of golf and then dine on lobster, caviar and
champagne. Also present is the devil, who really is a very friendly guy who
has a good time dancing and telling jokes. They are having such a good time
that before he realizes it, it is time to go.


Everyone gives him a hearty farewell and waves while the elevator rises to
heaven where St. Peter is waiting for him.

"Now it's time to visit heaven."

So, 24 hours pass with the senator joining a group of contented souls moving
from cloud to cloud, playing the harp and singing. They have a good time
and, before he realizes it, the 24 hours have gone by and St. Peter returns.

"Well, then, you've spent a day in hell and another in heaven. Now choose
your eternity."

The senator reflects for a minute, then he answers:
"Well, I would never have said it before, I mean heaven has been delightful,
but I think I would be better off in hell with all of my friends."

So St. Peter escorts him to the elevator and he goes down, down, down to
hell.

Now the doors of the elevator open and he's in the middle of a barren land
covered with waste and garbage. He sees all his friends, dressed in rags,
picking up the trash and putting it in black bags as more trash falls from
above.

The devil comes over to him and puts his arm around his shoulder.

"I don't understand," stammers the senator. "Yesterday I was here and
there was a golf course and clubhouse, and we ate lobster and caviar, drank
champagne, and danced and had a great time. Now there's just a wasteland full
of garbage and my friends look miserable. What happened?"

The devil looks at him, smiles and says, "Yesterday we were campaigning,
Today you voted".

trying to sabotage the company after you've left.

You cut off the affair with that married man/woman,
but you still lust after him/her.
You let the devil leave his bags.

You broke off your relationship with that hurtful, abusive
person, but you are suspicious and distrusting of every new
person you meet.
You let the devil leave his bags.

You decided to let go of the past hurts from growing up in an
unstable family environment, yet you believe you are unworthy of
love from others, and you refuse to get attached to anyone.
You let the devil leave his bags.

When you put the devil out, please make sure he takes his bags.

The Hot Water Bottle

This is just too beautiful not to share,
Subject: Isaiah 65:24
This story was written by a doctor who worked in South Africa,

One night I had worked hard to help a mother in the labor ward; but in spite of all we could do, she died leaving us with a tiny premature baby and a crying two-year-old daughter. We would have difficulty keeping the baby alive, as we had no incubator (we had no electricity to run an incubator).

We also had no special feeding facilities. Although we lived on the equator, nights were often chilly with treacherous drafts. One student midwife went for the box we had for such babies and the cotton wool that the baby would be wrapped in.

Another went to stoke up the fire and fill a hot water bottle. She came back shortly in distress to tell me that in filling the bottle, it had burst (rubber perishes easily in tropical climates). "And it is our last hot water bottle!" she exclaimed. As in the West, it is no good crying over spilled milk so in Central Africa it might be considered no good crying over burst water bottles. They do not grow on trees, and there are no drugstores down forest pathways.

"All right," said, "put the baby as near the fire as you safely can, and sleep between the baby and the door to keep it free from drafts. Your job is to keep the baby warm."

The following noon, as did most days, I went to have prayers with many of the orphanage children who chose to gather with me. I gave the youngsters various suggestions of things to pray about and told them about the tiny baby. I explained our problem about keeping the baby warm enough, mentioning the hot water bottle, and that the baby could so easily die if it got chills. I also told them of the two-year-old sister, crying because her mother had died.

During prayer time, one ten-year old girl, Ruth, prayed with the usual blunt conciseness of our African children. "Please, God" she prayed, "send us a water bottle. It'll be no good tomorrow, God, as the baby will be dead, so please send it this afternoon."

While I gasped inwardly at the audacity of the prayer, she added, "And while You are about it, would You please send a dolly for the little girl so she'll know You really love her?"

As often with children's prayers, I was put on the spot. Could I honestly say, "Amen". I just did not believe that God could do this. Oh, yes, I know that He can do everything, the Bible says so. But there are limits, aren't there? The only way God could answer this particular prayer would be by sending me a parcel from homeland. I had been in Africa for almost four years at that time, and I had never, ever received a parcel from home. Anyway, if anyone did send me a parcel, who would put in a hot water bottle? I lived on the equator! Halfway through the afternoon, while I was teaching in the nurses' training school, a message was sent that there was a car at my front door.!

By the time I reached home, the car had gone, but there, on the veranda, was a large twenty-two pound parcel. I felt tears pricking my eyes. I could not open the parcel alone, so I sent for the orphanage children.

Together we pulled off the string, carefully undoing each knot. We folded the paper, taking care not to tear it unduly. Excitement was mounting.
Some thirty or forty pairs of eyes were focused on the large cardboard box. >From the top, I lifted out brightly colored, knitted jerseys. Eyes sparkled as I gave them out Then there were the knitted bandages for the leprosy patients, and the children looked a little bored. Then came a box of mixed raisins and sultanas - that would make a batch of buns for the weekend. Then, as I put my hand in again, I felt the, could it really be? I grasped it and pulled it out - yes, a brand-new, rubber hot water bottle. I cried. I had not asked God to send it; I had not truly believed that He could. Ruth was in the front row of the children. She rushed forward, crying out, "If God has sent the bottle, He must have sent the dolly too!"
Rummaging down to the bottom of the box, she pulled out the small, beautifully dressed dolly. Her eyes shone! She had never doubted!

Looking up at me, she asked: "Can I go over with you and give this dolly to that little girl, so she'll know that Jesus really loves her?"

That parcel had been on the way for five whole months. Packed up by my former Sunday school class, whose leader had heard and obeyed God's prompting to send a hot water bottle, even to the equator. And one of the girls had put in a dolly for an African child - five months before, in answer to the believing prayer of a ten-year-old to bring it "that afternoon."

"Before they call, I will answer" (Isaiah 65:24) This awesome prayer takes less than a minute. When you receive this, say the prayer, that's all you have to do. No strings attached! . Just send it on to whomever you want - but do send it on. Prayer is one of the best free gifts we receive. There is no cost but a lot of rewards. Let's continue praying for one another
Father, I ask you to bless my friends reading this right now. I am asking You to minister to their spirit at this very moment. Where there is pain, give them Your peace and mercy. Where there is self doubting, release a renewed confidence to work through them Where there is tiredness or exhaustion, I ask You to give them understanding, guidance, and strength as they learn submission to Your leading. Where there is spiritual stagnation, I ask You to renew them by revealing Your nearness, and by drawing them into greater intimacy with You. Where there is fear, reveal Your love, and release to them Your courage. Where there is a sin blocking them, reveal it, and break its hold over my friend's life.
Bless their finances, give them greater vision, and raise up leaders and friends to support and encourage them. Give each of them discernment to recognize the evil forces around them, and reveal to them the power they have in You to defeat it. I ask you to do these things in Jesus' name. Amen

"Do not ask the Lord to guide your footsteps if you're not willing to move your feet
