Foreign. [Music] You brought us into 2022, and by your message, you have brought us to the closing part. [Music] You helped us to see the beginning of the year 2022, and by your message, you have to see the end of 2022. Well, thank you for all the great things you did. Your number praised, your name be worshipped, your name be glorified now and forever. As we receive your word, we pray, Lord, that you grant insight and understanding to everyone. [Music] Direct messages from you, we pray, Lord, that they receive your word tonight. Let your Holy Spirit break it down and release their personal messages to them in the name of Jesus. [Music] Tonight, Lord, let there be supernatural healing. [Music] Lord, bring thoughts, men and women, onto salvation. Let tonight mark a new beginning, a new dawn. Thank you, Heavenly Father. In Jesus' name, we pray. If you are short tonight, especially for you, you are short 2023, especially for you, make the loudest joyful noise to the Lord this evening. [Music] Hallelujah. [Music] Before you have your seat, please tell at least four persons, "Compliments of the season." Please be seated in the presence of the Lord. You are most well welcome to the presence of the Lord. As we prepare to begin the journey into 2023, every year, God gives a prophetic word for the new year, and the word will come in different dimensions. Sometimes it comes revealing how the year is going to end. Sometimes it comes revealing a major highlight of the events of the new year. And we have seen over and over that God will sometimes bring a word that will apply to everyone. And we have also seen the Lord bring the word that will apply to certain people. In 2023, God is going to deal with you directly. And so He has declared the year 2023, my year of very good news. [Applause] I wanted to take note that there could be, there is a difference between a year of very good news and our idea of very good news, and then my year of very good news. Because in Psalm 91, the Bible will tell us that a thousand may fall by your side and ten thousand, but it shall not come near you. So that means at the same time, in the same year, when such is happening, some people will be singled out. Special divine protection, divine honor, mega testimony at the same time. So I'm saying to announce to someone here tonight that by the mercies of God, 2023 is going to be your year of very good news. [Applause] [Music] If you are sure you are that man or woman that the Lord is talking about, I expect you to stand and shout the loudest Hallelujah. [Applause] [Music] Luke chapter 1, verse 11 to 20. My year. Let your neighbor hear you say, "That's my year." [Applause] Say it confidently, "My year." [Applause] Of very good news. Luke 1:11-20, New Living Translation. He says, "While Zechariah was in the sanctuary, an angel of the Lord appeared to him, an angel of the Lord standing to the right of the incense altar. Zechariah was shaking and overweight. No fear when he saw him, but the angel said, 'Don't be afraid, Zechariah. God has heard your prayer.'" [Applause] Instead of the total of someone who has had your prayer, say it with authority. Is that woman listening to this message? Is that man listening to this message? God has heard your prayer. [Applause] Your wife Elizabeth will give you a son, and you have to name him John. You will have great joy. That is what happens in the year of good, very good news. Very good news triggers great joy. You will have great joy and gladness, and many will rejoice at his birth. Many will rejoice at his faith. For he will be great in the eyes of the Lord. He must never touch wine or other alcoholic drinks. He'll be filled with the Holy Spirit even before he's born. And he will turn many Israelites to the Lord their God. He will be in mind with the spirit and power of Elijah. He will prepare the people for the coming of the Lord. He will turn the hearts of the fathers to the children, and they will cause those who are rebellious to accept the wisdom of the godly. Zechariah said to the angel, "Can I be sure this will happen? I'm an old man now, and my wife is also well along in years." Then the angel said, "I am Gabriel." So angels have names. And he says, "I stand in the very presence of God." So there is a God in the heavenlies, and in His presence are heavenly beings and heavenly hosts. And some angels are privileged to come before His very presence. And one of them is the Archangel Gabriel. I stand in the very presence of God. It was He who sent me to bring you this good news. This good news. This good news. So 2023, good news for you, good news for your family, good news for your platform. [Music] Verse 27. Now, since you didn't believe what I said, you will be silent and unable to speak until the child is born, for my words will certainly be fulfilled at the proper time. And when was going to be that proper time? In the coming year. There are certain mysteries that govern the spiritual realm. And just like Angel Gabriel revealed here, many of the future things that will eventually happen in the physical realm can be seen well ahead of time. And many of them can be seen several years ahead of time. A year ahead of time, two years, five years, ten years, fifty years, a hundred years ahead of time. [Music] They carry different degrees of probability of fulfillment. Some are bound to happen, absolutely bound to happen. Such as the message that Zechariah received from the Archangel. The events that are absolutely bound to happen are always very few. And only God has the power to make any future event unchangeable and inevitable. So nobody can say something is impossible except God makes that thing and accepts that thing and leaves that thing to be impossible. And nobody can say that something is bound to happen, including negative reports from the medical centers. Your case is hopeless. And so they tell you with some sense of finality that this is what is going to happen within a given time. Only God has the power to say that. And every year we have seen such reports being put aside. And those that the doctors said had only six more months, we have seen some of them being given sixty more years, fifty more years, forty more years. The second group of future events are those that are capable of happening. People are happening, and a lot of future events are in this group. They are not absolutely bound to happen. [Music] Ministerial friends, and I've told them that when people want to listen to New Year prophecies, looking out for are actually prophecies in the first category, prophecies of things that are bound to happen in the new year. Because if it doesn't happen, then you see the public begin to react and may even cause such a minister a false prophet. So distinctions must be made when words are being shared as to what is to happen in the new year. Majority of future events are in this second category. There are only some of them have different degrees of probability, 99%, 90%, 85%, but this is not yet 100%. Something could still happen. In Isaiah chapter 38, verse 1 to 6. Isaiah 38:1-6. Revealed something to his prophet Isaiah. So I go to the king, Hezekiah, and revealed to him that his sickness is unto death. She put his house in order. But Hezekiah turned unto the Lord in desperate prayer, and he prevailed. I am announcing to someone listening to me that by the mercies of God, you will win in 2023. [Applause] At the end of 2023, God will keep you alive and well. [Applause] And that major thing that you are asking God to do shall be fulfilled to His glory. [Applause] Hezekiah prayed, the Lord heard his prayer, and as Saint, the same vessel of God that had brought the bad news to give him the good news. I don't know what kind of negative report someone listening to this message has received. God is turning it around at your aim and connect with the heavens. [Applause] And so God told him, He said, "I've heard this prayer. I have seen his tears." And God added 15 more years to the life of King Hezekiah. In Jonah chapter 3, verse 1 to 10, you see the Lord giving the message through his servant Jonah to Nineveh. Declare to them that 40 days, in the Bible, be destroyed. But after he had given that message, the people repented. As someone is going to repent tonight, the people repented, fasted, turned from their wicked ways, they repented of all their offenses, and God accepted it. And so the destruction that was supposed to happen in 40 days was put aside by God. So you have to, we have to understand the dynamics of future events. These are two few things that were supposed to happen, revealed by God Himself, but they were not absolutely bound to happen. You're not absolutely about future events that are also capable of happening include negative events as well. Spiritual attack, spiritual manipulations, the wicked acts of men. Those things come up every year. And that is why God has given you the key of proactive prayers. That as you pray some strategic prayers ahead of time, the Lord will go ahead of you. It will clear the way for you. It will protect you and your family, and no evil shall befall you. The things that are bound to happen, they are first of all decided by God in the spiritual realm. For instance, Pharaoh had a dream, and God used Joseph to interpret his dream. In Genesis chapter 41, verse 25 to 32. Genesis 41:25-32, New Living Translation. Joseph responded, "Both of Pharaoh's dreams mean the same thing. God is telling Pharaoh in advance what He is about to do. The seven healthy cows and the seven healthy heads of grain both represent seven years, seven years of prosperity. So God can show you what He is going to do within a number of space of years. In this instance, seven years. God revealed it before it even started. And God said it was going to happen for seven consecutively. Then he said, in verse 27, he said, 'The seventeen scoring cows that came up later and the seventeen heads of grain waved by the east wind represent seven years of famine.' So immediately after those first seven years, then there were going to be another seventy years of recession, great famine in the land. Then in verse 20 days, they said, 'This will happen just as I have described it.' Joseph had nothing to do with what was going to happen. He was just given the grace by God to interpret the drink correctly. Everything that was going to happen was by God's influence. He said, 'For God has revealed to Pharaoh in advance what He is about to do.' The same way, it is being revealed in advance to someone here that by the mercies of God, the next 12 months will be 12 months of very good news. Let your amen be louder than those sitting around you. [Music] Verse 29. He said, 'The next seven years will be a period of great prosperity throughout the land of Egypt.' Throughout the land of Egypt. But afterward, there will be seven years of famine. So great. You see the magnitude of what is going to happen can sometimes be described. There is a difference between good news and very good news. There are the seven years of famine. We pray that all the prosperity will be forgotten in Egypt. Famine will destroy the land. This famine will be so severe that even the memory of the goodies, the good years, will be erased. So there are good years and there are bad years. They are good years and they are bad years. Their favorable years and they are difficult years. They are joyful years and they are grievous years. Have you ever read a scripture in Psalm 30? Because I have a very clear word for someone listening to this message tonight, and in 2023, you are going to have a personal experience of the fulfillment of Psalm 30 verse 11. [Applause] God is going to turn your mourning into dancing. [Applause] So you say the famine will be so severe that even the memory of the good years will be ready. As for having two similar dreams, it means that these events have been decreed by God, decreed by God, confirmed by God, guaranteed by God, and He will soon make them happen. He will soon make them happen. He will soon make them happen. By the 7th of January, 7th of January, as early as 7th of January, someone listening to this message will be thanking God already. [Applause] [Music] So look at the scriptures very well. In Luke chapter 1, verse 13 to 14. Somebody angel said, "Don't be afraid, Zacharias, for I have come to tell you that God has heard your prayer, and your wife Elizabeth will be a mother, and you are to name him John. You will both have great joy and gladness at his birth, and many will rejoice with you." With you. Can I say something here and take note of this? The baby girls that will be born in 2023 will be special baby girls. [Applause] [Music] One of the best gifts God can also give a man or a woman, and sometimes especially the men and the fathers, are daughters. And take note of this, in this new year, the Lord is releasing through safe delivery, daughters that will turn out to be great channels of blessing to their fathers and to their parents in the seasons ahead of us. [Music] So note that down. Note it down. 2023, the daughters of 20, the baby girls of 2023. Take note of it. In Luke chapter 1, verse 18 to 19. Luke 1:18-19. Zechariah said to the angel, "How can I be sure this will happen? I'm an old man now, my wife is also well along in years." Then the angel said, "I am Gabriel. I stand in the very presence of God. It is He who sent me to bring you this good news." In Luke chapter 1, verse 18 to 19. Luke 1:19. Zechariah said to the angel, "How can I be sure this will happen? I'm an old man now, my wife is also well along in years." Then the angel said, "I am Gabriel. I stand in the very presence of God. It is He who sent me to bring you this good news." So we are not encouraging you, just encouraging you with some carefully chosen words. No, this is the word for they are. But the Lord is very precise. He's personalizing this message because in the same year 2023, there will be a shaking. All right, there will be a shaking. There will be a shaking. But for His beloved and for those who will connect with Him on time, from this very night, mercy will speak on your behalf. Favor will speak on your behalf. [Applause] [Music] And this prophetic word we have received for 2023 will be your portion. [Applause] [Music] In Luke 1:57-58, Luke 1:57-58, Amplified Bible Classic Edition. He said, "Now the time, now the time that Elizabeth should be delivered came." There is a time to hear the word of what God wants to do, but there would also be a time to experience what God had spoken through His word. Tonight, you are hearing what God is about to do, and in the next 12 months, you are going to have a physical experience of the word that you have received. They said, "Now the time," because your time must come. Now the time that Elizabeth should be delivered came. What time must come? The blessing could have been delayed for so long, but it will finally come. And she gave birth to a son, exactly what God had spoken of. And her neighbors and relatives heard that the Lord has shown what great mercy. It's intentional. You, you see great. There are magnitudes of mercy, but there are some dimensions of mercy, no, that have to be described as greatness. Something will happen in 2023, and people will be talking about you and saying, "God has remembered you." They heard that the Lord had done, what shown great mercy on her. And they, what they rejoiced with her. They rejoiced with her. Yes, the very good news that is coming will make people rejoice with you. [Applause] Your house will be full. [Applause] They would have to put canopies and chairs outside. [Applause] [Music] Every judge would have rejoiced with her. Take note that God will do specific things. He says, "Pattern." This is a pattern with the Lord. He will do specific things. Every new year, and sometimes He will reveal those things ahead of time. He will reveal those things ahead of time. Sometimes He will not reveal them. Almighty God, Creed. Is anyone that would like to know the next president of Nigeria? Can I, can I say your hand? You would like to know. Sometimes God will intentionally conceal. Intentionally conceal. Because revealing it ahead of time, you are releasing information to people that will go out of their way to make sure that thing doesn't happen. They go out of their way to make sure it doesn't happen. God can send someone to you to tell you secretly that you are God's choice. [Music] And the person could actually anoint you secretly and throne you secretly and caution you not to share it out, not to reveal it. Many things that we are supposed to happen have not happened because we reveal too much. Can I tell you this? Enemies are waiting to know who is God's choice for 2023. And why would they do that? Without information, they will go the extra mile to make sure whoever is the person God has chosen does not emerge and does not sit on natural. If you were, if you're a Bible student, you would remember that in the book of Isaiah, the name was given of the coming savior. Does someone here remember? A name was given. And what was that name? That the government will sit on his shoulder. The savior that's coming for Israel. Emmanuel. Emmanuel. But when the Savior was born, what name was He given? So all those who are done enchantments and rituals that getting a child that will be born called Emmanuel. And when the appointed time came, the child was born, and it was named Jesus. Those who have stopped you in the past will not stop you again. [Applause] There are people that are bought pregnancies and caused miscarriage using demonic power. You read in the scripture something strange that happened that Elizabeth conceived and she disappeared for five months. Why would she go into hiding for five months? Mary didn't have any. She was a virgin, a young woman favored by God, and she was to carry the holy child. But Elizabeth was born and had waited for this blessing of the fruit of the womb for so long. And when it happened, the Bible tells us that she hid herself for five months. Please, as you go forward in life, keep some things to yourself so that it can happen. The greater the exposure, the more vulnerable that thing becomes to sabotage. Keep some things to yourself. Keep some things to yourself. The suffering in Nigeria is excessive. And so whatever God has decided to do to help the Nigerian people and turn around things, we want to see it happen. We want to see it. We don't just want to talk about it and then it's sabotaged. We want to see it happen. In Leviticus chapter 25, 20 to 22. Leviticus 25:20-22, The Voice version. He says, "You might ask, what will we eat in the seventh year if we don't plant and harvest crops? Don't worry. I will direct my blessing to come to you during the sixth year so that the land will produce three years' worth of crops in that one year." Can I tell you what was going on here? God was showing them ahead of time what they would do when they enter the Promised Land. And He said He wanted the seventh year to be a year of rest. And that year, no farming, no work. And He said that wondering, "What will we eat in that seventh year if we don't farm?" And the Lord said, "I will do something in the sixth year." Can somebody say, "Sixth year"? "I will do something in the sixth year. I will direct my blessing to come to you during the sixth year." Another version says, "I will send my special blessing upon your land in the sixth year so that it will give you a bumper harvest of crops that would be enough for three years." What are you getting from here? God is telling them that from time to time to come, when He specific things in a particular year that will benefit a large group of people, a large group of people. So there are times where God will decide to visit and do something specific that will be a benefit to a large number of people. And that breaks me to one prophetic word I have for someone in particular here. I said it earlier, the spirit of the Lord says that at the end of 2023, Psalm 30 verse 11 will be fulfilled for some people. [Applause] In the Contemporary English version, Psalm 30:11 says, "You have turned my sorrow into joyful dancing." [Applause] [Music] No longer am I sad and wearing sackcloth. By this same month next year, you will look back. You will look back. You will look back. [Music] People will no longer just be trying to encourage you, telling you, "It is well. It is well." I mean, congratulations from time to time. [Applause] I will be telling you, "God is faithful." [Music] The Voice version of Psalm 30 verse 11 says, "You did it. You did it." Have you not seen that on some people's DPs, "God did it"? [Laughter] It's your turn now. The Voice version of Psalm 13:11 says, "You did it. You turned my deepest pains into joyful dancing. My deepest pain into joyful dancing." The same area of your life that I brought you so much pain, God is moving in right now. [Applause] [Music] And from that same realm of your life, great joy is coming. If you are sure you are one of those God is talking about, tell at least four people, "I'm one of those the Lord is talking about." Tell them confidently. [Music] Hallelujah. So get ready in 2023 for you to experience this year of very good news. Something is going to happen because He holds the key of David. Revelation chapter 3, verse 7. He was the key of David. A door He has closed, no man can open. And a door He has opened, oh my God. So you know what is about to happen. God will close the door against bad news. God will close the door against bad news. God will close the door against bad news. [Applause] From this midnight tonight, God will close the door against bad news. [Applause] And they will all put the door for very good news to come your way. [Applause] Very good news to come for your family. [Applause] [Music] Very good news to come from the nation of Nigeria. Can the people say louder amen? [Applause] And so I want you with confidence and authority to stand up and make these declarations with me. Declare after me: "I reject and cancel every form of bad news away from my life, away from my family, away from my loved ones. I reject and cancel every form of unpleasant news, sad news, terrible news, distressing news, heartbreaking news. I reject and cancel in the name of Jesus." Say it after me: "I reject and cancel any experience of disappointment, distress, grief, misfortune, pain, accident. I reject them. I cancel them. I reject and cancel any experience of adversity, affliction, calamity, disaster, tragedy, life-threatening incident. I cancel them away from my life, away from my loved ones, away from my family in the name of Jesus." So shall it be. The Lord will go ahead of you in Jesus' name. Have your seat. Have your seat. And then there is someone here, and listen carefully. The spirit of the Lord says at the end of 2023, Psalm 126, verse 1 to 3, shall be fulfilled for some people. And what is Psalm 126:1-3 saying? God's Word Translation says, "When the Lord restored the fortunes of Zion, every time to your neighbor, if he's a brother, say 'Bros.' If his sister, say 'Sis.' Is that when the Lord restored the fortunes? Can I hear that person's name there? It was as if we were dreaming. It was as if we were dreaming. When our mouths were filled with laughter and our tongues with joyful songs, then the next will say, 'The Lord has done spectacular things for them. The Lord has done spectacular things for us. We are overjoyed.'" [Applause] So someone here is going to experience something spectacular from God. [Applause] God is about to do a great thing for someone. Later, someone is about to experience a fresh miracle from the Lord in the precious name of Jesus Christ. [Music] What is good news? It's news or information that is pleasing, encouraging news, something that is positive, encouraging, uplifting, desirable news. That is information that is pleasant, comforting, comforting. After a long while, there'll be good news coming from Nigeria. Comforting, cheering news. And when people are talking about good news, it's always described as great news, wonderful news. And these are the different descriptions of what God would do for different people listening to me right now. Great news, how they will describe your testimony. Wonderful news, excellent news, fantastic news, incredible news. Incredible is often used for things that are hard to believe, to believe, but it's true. Hard to believe, as Zacharias could not believe it. What just happened? Cheering news, joyous news, glorious news, very good news. In Proverbs chapter 15, verse 30. Proverbs 15:30. "A bright eye and a cheerful expression bring joy to the heart, and good news revived the spirit and renews health." So for someone, you have had enough of the negative experiences. God is about to turn around your fortunes in 2023. It is time. It is time. It is time. Brethren, the Lord says, "My year, your year." [Music] By making one quality decision right now. One quality decision. Thank God because some still had it in mind to make the decision, but something happened, and they were no more before they made a decision. And so the decision has to be made on time. A decision to follow Him. A decision to follow Him. [Music]
