Text: Genesis 1:1-5

There is someone called God. Every wise person knows there is someone called God. According to Psalms 14:1, only fools can say there is no God and according to the word of God in Proverbs 3:35, it doesn’t pay to be a fool because the Bible says: “those who are wise will inherit glory, but shame shall be the promotion of fools.”

Now, this God, the first time He introduced Himself, He called Himself the All-Sufficient God. Genesis chapter 17:1 and then Luke 1:37; it is written that with this person called God, nothing shall be impossible. So, I want to rejoice with you today that your own case will not be impossible with God.

Now, this God who is the All-Sufficient, who can do anything; at the beginning, He created two principal things Heaven and Earth. One of the two things that He created is called Heaven; the second is called Earth.

Heaven is so wonderful that God decided, ‘I will use this as my throne’ and then the second one; the Earth, He said I will use it as my footstool (Isaiah 66:1). He created two things; one is wonderful called HEAVEN, that’s the one we’ve been discussing since this one week. But the second thing he created called the EARTH was problematic, it had all kinds of problems. But, He controls all the problems of this earth by putting it under His feet. So, it doesn’t matter how many problems you may have, they’re under the feet of God. That’s why I can assure you that you will get your solutions today.

Now, this God sits in heaven and from there, He controls the earth and He does so by speaking. That’s why you should not be surprised that today; He has been speaking even before we started preaching. He speaks; and the moment He speaks, it is done. In Psalms 33:8-9, the Bible says that the whole earth should fear the Lord and it says the reason they should fear Him is because once He has spoken, it is done. He has spoken to some people today and it’s already done. Whether the rest of the people believe it or not, at least 200,000 people have already been healed today but He will do more.

He controls the Earth by sitting in Heaven and speaking a word. In Genesis 1:3, He said; ‘Let there be Light’ and it happened immediately. Everything on earth was a mess. But once He said ‘Let there be light’ everything changed.

What is the meaning of ‘Let there be light’?

It means, darkness, go; give way! And I’m happy to tell someone that right now, darkness will leave you alone. When He says ‘darkness, go! Physically, it is good news for those who are living in darkness; it is good news for those who have problems with their eyes. Because in Mark 10:46-52 when blind Bartimeaus cried unto Him that he wanted his eyes to be opened, Jesus didn’t touch him, he didn’t pray for him; He spoke a word: ‘Let there be Light’. In the Name that is above every other name, I decree right now, all of you who have problem with your eyes, ‘Let there be Light’!

When He said ‘Let there be Light’, when He said, ‘darkness, go!’ It also means stagnation, come to an end because when it is dark, it becomes difficult to work. If they turn off the light here right now, majority of us can only do one thing: we just sit down where we are until light comes. But, what you find in John 5:2-9, it tells us the story of a man who has been going round in circles for 38 years. When Jesus got to him, He didn’t pray for him; He didn’t touch him; He spoke a word: rise up, take your bed and walk. And the stagnation of that man came to an end immediately. May I decree to all those who have been stagnant for years, today ‘Let there be Light.’

‘Darkness, go!’ also means, demons, get out! In Mark 5:2-20, the story of the man who was possessed by thousands of demons. The one who controls the Heaven and the Earth by speaking, spoke a word to the demons. All He said is ‘go!’ And they disappeared. He sits in Heaven and controls the Earth by speaking. No struggles, no gimmicks. He would simply speak and things would happen. Today, He is speaking to the bodies of some people and whatever is wrong in their bodies is going to be put right. He is speaking to every situation surrounding some people. He is speaking to demons saying: ‘leave these people alone’. He is speaking to stagnation; stagnation is over. Then, He said ’Let there be light’.

Now, when He says darkness go, He’s also saying, sorrow go! Because in Psalms 30:5, He said ‘weeping may endure for a night, but Joy comes in the morning.‘ Darkness go means Joy begins. That’s why I’m believing God for someone that from today onwards, you will never know sorrow again.

When you go through the scriptures in Mark 5:35-43, when He got to Jairus’ house and people were weeping because his daughter was dead. One thing He said was “why are you weeping? His daughter is not dead; she’s only sleeping.” The Bible said they laughed Him to scorn but do you know that before He put an end to the sorrow of Jairus, He drove out the weepers. So, in the Name of the Almighty God, I hereby decree that weepers will no longer gather in your homes.

When He decrees ‘darkness, go!’ It means no more sorrow. A couple of years ago, a great man of God came to us and said that in his town, every year, somebody prominent must die. So, there is always mourning in the town. So, he invited us to come. As God would have it, the town was not far from our paths when we were going-a-fishing. So, we branched at the town and we decreed in the name of God the Almighty that there’ll be no more sorrow in that town. By the grace of God, from that moment onward, yearly death ended in that town. May I decree to all our traditional rulers, because the Almighty was extremely happy today to see you praising Him and I hereby decree: in your kingdom, there’ll be no more premature death, no more sorrow, there’ll only be shouts of Joy, so shall it be in Jesus name.

Now, when He says, ‘darkness, go!’ He says no more sorrow. The Bible says He sends His word and He heals them. I believe very firmly that today, God is not asking us to do a big theological study of Heaven. All He wants is for us to give Him an avenue to speak to us and He has been speaking and He will continue to speak. So, if the Holy Ghost service of today does not follow the normal pattern you expect, it is because the results that will come will not be the kind you have ever known before. For example, He asked me to tell someone that as far as you are concerned, your journey forward and upward will become extraordinarily fast.

When He created the Earth, the Bible said the Earth was confused, it was in disorder, it was empty until God spoke. May I decree in the Name that is above every other name, confusion will end in your life today. You see, when we talk about confusion, another word for confusion is what we call a stop. In Mark: 35-41, Praise the Lord… Daddy said, I thought I said ‘you will allow me to speak’. Daddy asked me to tell someone: Very soon, your song will be: Now that the battle is over.

I want to say Amen to this one before I tell you because Daddy asked me to tell someone; He said by the time the sun rises tomorrow, heaven would have opened over you.
