PROPHETIC BIRTHDAY WORSHIP EVENING

This was a birthday worship evening for Pastor Jerry Eze - a "Word & Fire" night given almost entirely to praise, thanksgiving and ministry from visiting worship leaders, closing with a long block of prophetic declaration from the pastor himself. The night sits on the eve of the 40th day of the 40 Days of Power, Miracles and Manifestation (40DPMM), and the whole service is framed as the doorway into it: "Tomorrow is the 40th day."

The opening host charge set the posture: this is an upper-room atmosphere, a company gathered in one accord, and the worship itself is the positioning. Worshippers were told to call the names of people who could not be there ("distance is not a barrier"), to expect mantles and mountains to fall, and to listen for "the sound of the abundance of rain." The cry that recurred all evening was the season's cry: "Oh Lord, show me mercy… I must carry my evidence. I cannot go empty-handed. I cannot leave here the way I came."

The theological centre of the night was transition and impartation. The congregation was asked a pointed question: "Are you one of the sons of the prophets, or are you Elisha? Are you a spectator or are you a partaker?" The picture was the oil that is poured on the head but does not stop at the head - it runs down to the skirts. As their man of God transitions into a new season, the charge was to refuse to be a bystander and to press for the double portion, praying "I will not go until I see what I have seen on his life on my life."

Prayer moved through set-time language - "at the set time that the Lord spoke of, Sarah gave birth" - into "do a quick work, cut it short": cut short the journey of shame, of rising and falling, of bitter tears, of evil arrows. Then a break-out declaration: "I break out, I break through, I break forth."

Ministry came from several guest worship leaders - Minister Steve, Minister Peterson and others - with long stretches of "We give You all the glory," "You are the great I AM," and "More than my mouth can testify."

Pastor Jerry closed with a sustained prophetic announcement over the house: a new season broken forth, fallow ground broken up, walls fallen, arrows broken, health restored, helpers released, and "the season you begged for is finally here." He declared healings - tumour, fibroid, ovarian growth - and healing virtue travelling to family members at home. He then took the offering, honoured the visiting pastors and his wife, previewed tomorrow morning's Encounter, and sent everyone out to tell 21 people, at a scream, "I have my evidence."

• Healing virtue travelling to a family member at home - "your son, your daughter, your mother, your father, your brother, your sister - even right now."
• "Your testimony will be that it will not be up to one hour after tonight's worship before a miracle broke out in your life, an evidence broke out in your family."

1. You are standing on the eve of your set time. "Now is the acceptable day." What God said at a set time, He performs at a set time - Sarah's son came at the set time the Lord spoke of, and this night stands in that same appointed window.
2. Transition is contagious if you position for it. The prophet is moving to a greater level; the oil poured on the head does not stop at the head. The question is not whether the oil is flowing but whether you are Elisha or one of the sons of the prophets who only watched.
3. Spectators leave empty-handed; partakers carry evidence. "It is your choice." Those who treat this as another meeting will get another meeting; those who press get the double portion.
4. God does quick work. He cuts short the journey of shame, of rising and falling, of bitter tears, of evil arrows, of wickedness. What has dragged for years can be finished in a night.
5. This is a season of announcement, not endurance. He declared: a new season broken forth, doors finally open, fallow ground broken up, shackles broken, mountains melted, walls fallen, arrows broken, ordinances of hell nullified, feet planted on solid ground - "no more shame, no more pain, no more setback, no more delay, no more denial. You will be considered first."
6. Your helpers have been released. "They will say yes." The executors have come, the implementers are around you, the angelic host are in your favour, things have aligned for your good.
7. Anyone waiting for you to fail will wait forever. Every evil talk raised against you is silenced; your soul has escaped like a bird out of the snare of the fowler.
8. Tomorrow morning will be everything at the same time. "Heaven is about to jam the earth… there will be winners tomorrow." Things will happen so fast, one on the heels of another, that you will not be able to keep up.

Today / tonight

• Worship as positioning, not as a warm-up: "as I praise, as I worship, my Father, show me mercy."
• Pray the night's cry: "Oh Lord, show me mercy… I must carry my evidence. I cannot go empty-handed. I cannot leave here the way I came."
• Call the names of people who could not attend into the atmosphere - "distance is not a barrier."
• Position yourself, your family, your business and your marriage for the evidence; pray "fire, clear the way" for your celebration and congratulations.
• Pray for the impartation as the man of God transitions: "I will not go until I see what I have seen on his life on my life."
• Declare: "I break out, I break through, I break forth."
• Lift your right hand and pray repeatedly: "My Father, whatever You are doing tomorrow, make me number one."
• Take something and put it on your head during the impartation moment.
• Put your offering, tithe and partnership together and raise it as a wave offering.
• Declare Psalm 91 aloud, then shout "I have my evidence."
• Before you leave: walk up to 21 people and scream in their ear, "I have my evidence." Not a whisper.

Tomorrow - Friday 21 August, Day 40 (the Encounter)

• Come with everything that looks like a miracle.
• Come with your downloaded pictures.
