- Today, the Almighty God is asking us to talk about: “Brand New Beginning – Part 1”.
That means Next Month (DMC NOTES: February 2026), by the Grace of God; we will move to: “Brand New Beginning – Part 2”
And on and on like that.
Thank God for the Young Man (My son) who started us off Tonight – That was beautiful!
2 Corinthians 5:17:
Therefore if any Man be in Christ, he is a New Creature: Old Things are Passed away; behold all things are become New.
… Not a refurbished Creature, but a Brand New Creature.
In the Name that’s above every other name, that will be your Testimony from now on – Amen.
FORMS OF BRAND NEW BEGINNINGS
When we talk about Brand New Beginnings, these can be in various Forms:
PHYSICALLY
We have the example of Naaman – I will be talking more about him Tonight.
You know the Story in 2 Kings 5:1-14 – It speaks about a Leper that God healed.
The Bible says: And his flesh came again like unto the flesh of a little child, and he was clean (2 Kings 5:14) – Brand New!
In the Name that’s above every other name, before this Night is over, your body will become Brand New – Amen.
MATERIALLY
In 2 Kings 4:1-7, it tells us the Story of a woman who was completely destitute – Heavily in debt, so bad that the Creditors came into the house and found that the only thing of Value are the sons. And they even wanted to sell the sons and pay the debt.
But God gave her a Brand New Beginning – Not only was all her debt paid, she had enough money, never to borrow again.
I am believing God for some of us this year (2026): Whatever debt we’ve been owing, they will all be paid – Amen.
And I am believing God that He will do something for us this year, that we will never borrow again – Amen.
MARITALLY
When we talk about a Brand New Beginning, we could consider the case of Sarah:
Nobody ever thought she could ever have a child – The Bible even tells us that her womb was dead.
If God says something is dead, it means it is dead.
And then God gave her a Brand New Beginning.
And I am believing God that this year (2026), every Impossibility in the Life of any of us would be made Possible – Amen.
MENTALLY
The Bible says in James 1:5-7, If any of you lack Wisdom, let him ask of God, that giveth to all men liberally, and upbraideth not; and it shall be given him.
A Brand New Beginning could mean that somebody who is so dull, he himself knows he is dull – That is really, really dull. That fellow could end the year as a Genius.
You remember Solomon; God said, “what do you want?*
- If a man is dying of thirst and you asked him, “What do you wan?” He would say, water.
- If a man is dying of hunger and you asked him, “What do you wan?” He would say, food!
“Solomon, what do you want?” He said, I am so dull, I know I am dull – What I want is wisdom.
I am believing God, Particularly for our Students; that this year you will Surprise your Professors – Amen.
SPIRITUALLY
It could be in Two (2) Parts;
I. When you consider the case of the Madman of Gadara;
.. People say I always talk about him. Yes, I do because his Miracle is a very Special one.
The man who was so mad, that when mad people saw him coming, they run! He got a Brand New Beginning.
It wasn’t that he was healed and it remained just a little, No! The man who was an Evangelist for Satan, became and Evangelist for God – That’s a Brand New Beginning.
II. Or we can look at it from the Perspectives of Saul of Tarsus; who himself claimed to be a Chief among Sinners.
And he ended up becoming a Chief among Apostles – That’s a Brand New Beginning.
Whatever you need; whatever God has to do in your Life, that long before the middle of this Year (2026): even you will find it difficult to recognize yourself – Amen.
The Almighty God will do it for you!
PHYSICAL ASPECT: A CASE STUDY OF NAAMAN.
Tonight I want to start with the Physical Aspect. And I have chosen to discuss with you the Story of Naaman – You know the Story; you can find it in 2 Kings 5:1-14.
Now Naaman, Captain of the Host of the King of Syria, was a great man with his Master, and Honourable, because by him the LORD had given deliverance unto Syria: he was also a Mighty man in Valour, but he was a Leper. And the Syrians had gone out by companies, and had brought away Captive out of the Land of Israel a little Maid; and she waited on Naaman’s wife. And she said unto her Mistress, Would God my lord were with the Prophet that is in Samaria! for he would recover him of his Leprosy.
I decree to Someone straightaway: Before the Sun rises tomorrow, every ‘But’ in your Life will disappear – Amen.
Whatever the ‘But’ may me: Sickness, Failure, Barrenness, Poverty; whatever the world can see in your Life, that can cause them to say, “Where is your God?” In the Name of the One who made Heaven and Earth, that is going away Tonight – Amen.
- NAAMAN WAS NOT BORN A LEPER
He is never a child that is born a Leper. There wasn’t even Leprosy in his gene.
You know there are certain things that Scientists have discovered – Certain sickness and disease that they say, “it runs in the family.”
If you read the Story further (2 Kings 2:20-27), Elisha had a Servant; the Servant did something terrible, as a result, the Man of God placed a curse on him and said: The Leprosy therefore of Naaman shall cleave unto thee, and unto thy Seed for ever. And he went out from his Presence a Leper as white as snow.
That means, anybody born in the lineage of that Servant would end up a Leper.
Many of you think that our Elders, because they didn’t go to the University, thy are stupid – They are not.
In the olden days, when a man comes to you that he wants to marry your daughter, you ask him:
- What is your name? He tells you.
- What is your family name? He tells you.
You would say go, come back in seven (7) days time; by then we will talk.
Within the seven (7) days, you would go and do a thorough investigation of his family;
- Has there been a Leper before in that family?
- Has there been a Madman before in that family?
Why? Because, if it has happened before in that lineage; sooner or later, it’s going to happen again.
You hear some funny Preachers say there is nothing called “Generational Curses” + They tell you, “That is the imagination of stupid Pastors (like Pastor Adeboye). They are very”intelligent.” It’s just that I don’t know if they read the same Bible I read. Anybody born in the lineage of Gehazi would one way or the other become a Leper.
But I am decreeing to Somebody today, that in the Mighty Name of Jesus, if there is any curse in your family that is waiting to raise its head, either in your Life or in the lives of your children; I decree in the Name that’s above every other name, that curse is destroyed – Amen.
- THE LEPROSY WAS AN ATTACK
So, Naaman was not born a Leper.
If he wasn’t born a Leper, then the Leprosy must have been an attack from outside.
Something happened along the way in his Life, that the man who wasn’t born a Leper; who didn’t have Leprosy in his gene suddenly became a Leper.
You know, in Matthew 13:24-26, the Lord told us a Story about a man who Planted a very good seed in his field. And while men slept, how enemy came and sowed tares.
There are many of you who can Testify to how your Problem began when something happened to you in a Dream:
- While sleeping you dreamed that you ate, and when you woke up things began to happen.
- Or you were in a Dream and a dog bit you; when you woke up things started happening.
- Or you were in a Dream and some people flogged you; things began to happen after that.
Some people think these are just imaginations – If it has never happened to you, Thank God but if it has happened to you, my Father made a Promise, “Every Plant that God has not Planted shall be rooted up. (DMC NOTES: Matthew 15:13).
I was in a City somewhere Abroad and as it’s my usual way, I woke up early and I went for a walk. When I get to a City I ask them: How safe is your City? How soon can I go out to walk? Because I know I am not in the Redemption City where I can walk at Night.
So I woke up early in that City and I went for a walk. As I was returning, there is this girl who saw me and said Hey, Daddy G.O you are here? I said, Yes – God Bless You!
She said, thank you, where are you staying? I said, I have Prayed for you (God Bless You) and you have said Amen. Please go your way.
She pursued me to the Hotel, finally I got to the lift and I said, please don’t get me into trouble.
Imagine somebody seeing me in a lift with a beautiful lady; they won’t know whether I am going up with you, or l am coming down. Please, go. She said, I can’t go.
Okay, tell me your Problem so I can Pray for you. She said, go into the lift, we would go together.
To cut a long Story short, she followed me by force to the room. I said, God help me today. And she pulled up her dress, what I saw, I almost screamed; there were scars all over her body.
She said, they come every Night to beat me – The scars were as if somebody has been torturing her again and again and again!
I cried to God, I reminded the Almighty God that every Plant He has not Planted must be rooted up. I Prayed so loud, I couldn’t care less; anybody who wants to come in and see; come and see what the enemy has done to somebody.
I cried to the Almighty God – This is Your daughter. My Father and my God, something must be done today.
I Thank God, before she left the room all the scars were gone – Hallelujah!
I Pray in the Name that’s above every other name, every scar of the enemy in your Life will disappear tonight – Amen.
Everything in your Life that you did not bring from Heaven; everything the enemy has introduced into your Life shall all disappear tonight, in Jesus’ Name – Amen.
- THERE WERE NO SCARS LEFT
We are talking about a Brand New Beginning – By the time God finished with Naaman, there were no scars left.
Anybody who has suffered Leprosy, if you have ever seen a Leper before, Leprosy is a horrible thing – Fingers gone, toes gone, noses disappear, etc.
But in the case of Naaman, God gave him a Brand New skin.
I cry to God on your behalf tonight; every sickness, disease, demon and everything that you were not born with will disappear tonight – Amen.
- HE ACHIEVED A LOT
There is something interesting about Naaman; They said he achieved a lot. He didn’t know it, but God used him to achieve a lot.
It is written there, by him God gave deliverance to Syria – He became a great man, a man of honour; and yet he didn’t know God.
There are many of us who have achieved a lot, even before we knew Christ.
Achievement without Salvation can be for two (2) different Purposes – One good, the other not so good.
I. Because God knows the end from the beginning. Acts 15:18 says, Known unto God are all his works from the beginning of the world.
So, when you are not yet Born Again and you are succeeding, “Known unto God are all His works.” It could be because God has seen ahead of time that you are going to end up serving Him.
Like in the case of Naaman, by the time he got healed he came back to Elisha to say, thank you; I have brought some gifts for Thanksgiving.
Interestingly, many of us never come back to say Thank.
And Thank God for all the Testimonies we’ve been hearing – We hear people say, “I said I would come back and Testify.” Thousands of us, we receive bigger Miracles than the Testimonies we hear but we don’t come back out to Testify.
Naaman came back to Elisha (2 Kings 5:15-19) to say: Sir, look at me, I am clean. I have brought some gifts. Elisha said No, healing is not for sale, it is free. “So you are not going to take anything?” Elisha said No. “Give me some mud here, I will go back home and I would raise an Altar for your God.”
… God knew that from the beginning.
He Prospered Naaman, and He made him to succeed, because He knew that at the end of the day, “he will serve me. He will bring the worship of Jehovah to his Country where they serve nothing but idols.
God knew when He was Prospering you, before you knew Him, there are some of you who build Churches in your Villages – He knew!
Before I knew the Lord Jesus Christ, I was already a Lecturer at the University of Lagos ,- I already had a car and a house and I mean, everything was going well.
But the moment I got Born Again, the first thing I did was that I had to build a Church in my hometown – People must hear about God.
I remember very well that I said, everyone related to me must hear the Gospel quickly. So I called all of them together and I said, I want to celebrate. “What are you celebrating?” I bought a new car, I built a house, I got a PhD; come and celebrate one of them.
The first thing I did was that I took the Godspel to my own Village – That’s the first thing I did.
God knew, even when I was succeeding even more than my Lecturers, He knew where I was going. He has a Purpose for every Miracle.
- What have you done with everything He has done for you at a time when you didn’t know Him?
- What have you done even since you became Born Again?
- What have you done with all your Achievements, all your Connections, all your Wealth? He might be waiting.
II. On the other side, He could cause you to succeed without knowing Him; so that when you crash the world would know that there is Somebody called the Almighty.
The Elders have a Proverbs, they say when an ant falls nobody pays attention, when a cockroach falls it doesn’t make a sound but they say, when an Elephant falls, you’ll feel the tremor – Not only in the bush but in the hut.
That’s the case with Pharaoh, God said to Pharaoh: you think I didn’t know what I was doing when I was raising you up? When I was making you King of the whole world? It is so that when I drown you, the whole world will know there is Someone called the Almighty.
In the case of Naaman, God caused him to Succeed, to Prosper, because He knew that at the end of the day, he is coming to serve Him.
What is your own case going to be like? Like that or Naaman or like that of Pharaoh? I can’t decide for you; you are the one who would decide.
- HIS TIME CAME
When your time comes, God will begin to move.
Those of you who have been here since December 31st 2025, during the Holy Communion Service and so on; you Probably must have sensed that it looks as if something has changed in Daddy G.O – His Preaching seems to be a little different.
Those of you who were here, I gave you a hint that 2026 is for Somebody.
Remember, I kept on saying, “for Somebody” – not for everybody; Year 2026 is going to be a year you have never seen before.
For several people, starting with DMC Family Members, and at least one other fellow; at long last your Time has come – Amen.
- Which is why joking with Jesus must be over.
- Which is why those who want to be serious, they are free to be serious.
- Those who don’t want to be serious, it’s up to them.
There are many of you here, or reading now on the Label of DMC; maybe the next time you will be here would be during the Special Holy Ghost Service in March 2026, during Convention in August 2026, or during the next Congress in December 2026.
I know there’s Someone:: Whatever is happening, he or she is not going to miss another Holy Ghost Service. Because I know for sure that if the enemy comes to their house on Holy Ghost Service Night, he is not going to meet them at home – They would be at the Redemption Camp.
But the Point is, God has a Timetable for everything He does (DMC NOTES: Ecclesiastes 3:1-8).
And He has a Set Time, not just a Timetable now; a Set Time for certain things.
The Bible says in Psalm 102:13, Thou shalt arise, and have Mercy upon Zion: for the time to favour her, yea, the Set Time, is come.
Look at Naaman, he had gone on Campaign for his Master; saw one little girl in battle and brought her back home. He asked her to serve his wife. The girl has been there; the Bible did not tell us for how long. She should feel happy that Naaman was a Leper – “let him suffer for taking me away from my family.”
But when your day comes, suddenly God begins to move.
Suddenly that girl had the boldness to say to her Mistress, “Excuse me ma, there is a Prophet in my town, he can heal Leprosy.”
What are you saying little girl? What do you know about Leprosy?
“There is a Prophet in my town; if only my Master can go to him.”
And somebody heard while she was talking to the wife – Take note, it’s not the wife that went in to tell Naaman. The wife heard the girl and said, stop talking rubbish.
But Naaman’a day had come – Somebody heard the girl talking. It is that fellow who went in to tell Naaman.
In the Name that’s above every other name, the one that will bring in your help will no longer keep quiet – Amen.
- NAAMAN HEARD AND BELIEVED.
He too could have behaved like his wife and dismiss it.
Naaman went to his King, “I heard there is a Prophet somewhere that can heal me. Could you help me, Your Majesty?”
The King said, I will do anything for my General – Let’s write a Letter to their King over there.
He said, “I am sending my General to you, heal him.” – It’s not the King; the girl didn’t say the King , she said, “there is a Prophet.”
When they gave the Letter the King he said, what kind of problem is this now? I am sitting down Peacefully, this King wants a war. Now he is asking me to be God. “Am I God that I can heal Leprosy?”
Just take note, this Story is important because God is talking to Somebody – You see, God works in Mysterious ways. He is Wonderful to Perform.
The Message went to the wrong fellow, but somehow, the Bible didn’t tell us how; somehow the News got to Elisha that the King is angry with something.
And Elisha said, it’s the wrong fellow they went to. Send him to me.
I don’t know how God is going to do it, but one way or the other, your Miracle will arrive at your door – Amen.
You’ve heard me tell you the Story of a great man from Ondo – Second-In-Command to Kabiyesi (King), who for one reason or the other had a Stroke (you can call it that) – He was Paralysed from his waist downward.
He was a rich man, so they took him Abroad to the best Hospital.
He was there for Months, one day, one of the Surgeons said to him Chief, I want to show you something. And he took a very sharp long pin and drove it through the thigh of the Chief, and asked him, “Do you feel anything?” The Chief said No!
That Professor of Medicine said, go home sir, stop wasting your money. There is nothing anybody can do for you, these legs are dead.
Papa came back home, and one little girl in his house said, I know a man in a place called Redemption Camp; if only Papa can get to him, Papa will be healed.
… How these little girls get people into trouble.
I was in the Camp when they brought Papa – At least four (4) strong men brought him from the car into my sitting room, because he was a very big man.
And I remembered that I told him, it is written: But if the Spirit of him that raised up Jesus from the dead dwell in you, he that raised up Christ from the dead shall also quicken your mortal bodies by his Spirit that dwelleth in you. (DMC NOTES: Romans 8:11)
I said to him, that Spirit will make you live again!
Then we discussed Salvation; Papa gave his Life to Jesus Christ. He walked back to his car – Hallelujah!
That God is still here, He has not traveled. And tonight, that God is saying to you, the Irreversible in your Life shall be reversed again – Amen.
Thank You Father!
I think that I need to say Amen to this one first before I tell you.
The Lord asked me to tell Someone here Tonight or reading now on the Label of DMC:
He said: The Countdown to your Celebration begins now – Amen
This Study is very sweet. Maybe one of these days I will write a book about it.
- NAAMAN THREW AWAY HIS PRIDE
There is one thing I need to point out to you: when finally Naaman came to the house of the Prophet, the Man of God didn’t even allow him to come in. He sent his Servant to him, go and tell the General that God says, “go and take your bath seven (7) times in Jordan, and you will be clean.”
The General said, what? The boy said, that’s what my Master asked me to tell you. “Is he coming out to see me? Is he coming to Pray for me?” No. “You mean that is all he is going to do?” Yes, he has already done all he is going to do.
The General said, look at me: General Naaman, treated so lightly by this fellow. Whoever he is that they call Prophet. “Are there no better rivers in my Country, that he has asked me to go and wash in this their dirty River Jordan? It’s alright! It’s not his fault. I will go home, and he will hear from me.”
The Bible says, he was in rage.
When God decides that your day has come, “Jonah must go”.
The Jonah in the boat of Naaman was Pride – “Me, General Naaman?” He forgot that he was General Leper. “Me, treated like this?”
You know Pride has robbed many of us of our Miracles.
And I can relate with Naaman. I appreciate him because when I came to the Redeemed Christian Church of God; if I go to Church at all, I go to the Cathedral or I go to the Chapel of the University – Beautiful Places.
Then I came to Ebute-Metta, the Church was built with Batcher – Rejected woods; the kind of woods that sawyers felt are useless.
That’s what they gathered together to build the Headquarters back then.
But then somebody told me, God answer Prayers there. They dragged me, and I thought they would tell me how much I have to pay so they can Pray and my Problem would be solved.
They didn’t ask me for money, they asked me to confess my sins – “Give your Life to Jesus.” I looked at them, I was the most Educated among them:
- What is wrong with these people?
- What do they mean by sin?
- What do they know?
They said, come and give your Life to Jesus – I said, they are not talking to me.
For weeks I didn’t give my Life to Jesus. I said, Please tell me how much I would pay and you will solve my problem and forget about all these talk about giving my Life to Jesus.
Until one da,y God broke through for me and it just occurred to me; “Wait a minute, what’s wrong with you? You are the one with the problem not they.” They are not asking you to surrender to them; they are asking you to surrender to the One who made you. What’s wrong with you?
That’s when I humbly went to the Altar and gave my Life to Jesus; and things have never been the same again.
May your day come today – Amen.
In this beautiful Story of Naaman, because God was determined to give him a Brand New Beginning, one of his servants;
You know, in the Army, if you want to talk to a Superior Officer, you have to ask for “Permission to speak Sir”.
If then the Superior Officer said, Permission not granted: I don’t want to hear what you have to say.
But this Servant went to the General (who was angry) and said Sir, I’m not sure you are being angry correctly. Because if these people had asked you to do something mighty, something big, you would have done it. All they are saying is, wash and be clean.
That day, Naaman threw away his Pride, and got rid of Anger.
Every Jonah that is still standing in your way will go tonight – Amen.
Whatever it is O LORD, that is not allowing the Joy of Your Children to be full;; whatever it is my Father and my God; please get rid of it tonight – Amen.
He threw away Pride!
And you know Pride is the Mother of Ingratitude.
Some of you don’t know how dangerous Pride can be.
Oh, this is the Season of Thanksgiving – At least in the Redeemed Christian Church of God.
Some of us would say, what has God done for me.
- He kept you throughout Last Year (2025) – “And so what?”
Pride does not allow you to be grateful. If you don’t believe me ask Samson (Judges 15:11-20).
They brought him bound to the Enemies, the Spirit of God came down on him, he saw a jawbone of an ass, with it he killed thousands of his Enemies.
What did he say?
And Samson said, With the jawbone of an ass, heaps upon heaps, with the jaw of an ass have I slain a thousand men (DMC NOTES: Judges 15:16).
He didn’t say, Thank You Lord! – Not a single word of Thank You God.
I. The Mother of Ingratitude is Pride.
The reason why many of us never Pray is Pride – We think we can solve the problem ourselves.
II. The Mother of destruction is Pride.
Because when you go to Judges Chapter 16, when Delilah was asking directly:
- Samson, what is the source of your Strength?
- How can you become an ordinary man?
- How can we bind you, so that we can torture you?
That’s direct Question from somebody who, without doubt, must be an enemy – “I am great Samson, who is this little girl trying to find out the secret of my Power? Don’t worry yourself, I can deal with you.”
The problem with Pride is that those who are Proud don’t even really know that they are Proud.
Proverbs 16:18 tells us, “Pride goes before destruction.”
If Pride is a Jonah in your boat, it will go today in Jesus’ Name – Amen.
Naaman threw away the Jonah of Pride in his boat.
- HE OBEYED GOD COMPLETELY
Thank God for Naaman, he obeyed God completely.
God said, dip yourself seven (7) times – And he dipped himself seven (7) times.
By the time he was coming out of the water the sixth (6th) time, he was still a Leper. It was only on the seventh (7th) time, when his Obedience was complete, that God moved.
Total Obedience is what God is asking for in 2026.
In Revelation 3:15-16 the Almighty God says, I don’t like anybody being Lukewarm;
- If you are cold I know I have work to do, to bring you Salvation.
- If you are hot, then I know we are together. Because I am the Consuming Fire.
But this idea of one leg in, one leg out; He said, I can’t take it.
You know it is a Miracle that God has tolerated us thus far. Because many of us have been very Lukewarm.
We have become so used to Miracles, and we now take God for granted.
Every Miracle is a Special Action of God.
Throw away Pride!
We are beginning to take God for granted.
How many of you have ever Thanked God for Dove Media?
I want to say Amen to this me.
Daddy ask me to tell Someone wherever that Fellow is or reading now on the Label of DMC:
He said: Expect one Breakthrough that will enable you to serve God wholeheartedly.
- Total Obedience is required like never before.
- Gratitude is required like never before.
You know the Story in Luke 17:10-19 – Ten (10) Lepers were healed; one came back to say Thank You. And the one who came back to say Thank You moved from healing to Wholeness. He got a Brand New Healing.
- HIS DESTINY WAS CONNECTED
One more important Point about Naaman; it is the issue of Destiny.
You know I told you at the beginning that if God begins to Prosper a man when he doesn’t know God, it is Probably because there is something waiting ahead.
In the case of Naaman, what was waiting is that he will be the one who will bring the Service of God to his Country.
But there is this thing called, Connected Destinies.
Oh God, Thank You!
I want to say Amen to this one too.
Because God said there is Someone here Tonight or reading now on the Label of DMC:
He said that if you will weep at all in Year 2026; it will be for Joy – Amen
The Lord says that there is Someone here Tonight or reading now on the Label of DMC:
He said: Very soon, you will shout “Free at Last”.
There are Destinies of so many people linked together in the Story of Naaman:
- The Destiny of the Girl that was captured – The Slave girl; was linked to the Destiny of Naaman.
- The Destiny of that Servant who Persuaded him to listen to the Prophet was linked to the Destiny of Naaman.
- The Destiny of the Prophet who told him to go and take his bath in River Jordan seven (7) times was linked to the Destiny of Naaman.
And so on.
I am saying that one with all Humility: All of you who Genuinely are my children, who call me Daddy and mean it; our Destinies are linked.
I can boldly declare: as God helps me, He will help you – Amen.
I want to Point something to those of you who are “Big Men (and women).”
Be careful how you treat your Servants.
If anybody ever comes to your house to serve as a house boy or house girl; their Destinies are linked to yours – Treat them well, because if they are the only people in the world, Jesus would have come to die for them.
That’s very important!!
- Be careful how you speak to them.
- Be careful how you treat them.
Because you don’t know where they are going to step when God decides to move. You don’t know how God is going to use them.
I say this one with Gratitude to the Most High God, and with Humility; there are several people who came into my Life, who came to my house as house boy or house girl, who today are Graduates. Because there is no one who cannot Prosper if they get helped.
There is nobody who was created to be a Servant – Situation may occur that may cause you to be ‘Oga’ while they are your Servants; treat them well.
Someone said, “I heard you talking to your driver and you said, Yes Sir.
Who is Oga: is it you or him?” I said, there is only One Oga – That is Jesus Christ.
Please, take note of that – Those of you who are great people, change your attitude towards your Servants. They might be the link to your Ultimate Victory.
Do I hear your Amen to that one? Amen!!!
And finally, take care how you handle the Prophet that God has sent to you.
Because the final Victory of Naaman was Presented to him through Elisha – Be careful.
When I say Prophet, I am not talking of all these funny Prophets everywhere – They are many.
I was laughing when I heard that one Prophet said to a Team, if they are going to win the Match, they should not include a Particular fellow. They didn’t listen to him; and that fellow scored the Winning Goal. I said Praise the Lord!
“Are you the Prophet sent to us Sir?” Me? I am not a Prophet – I am a Pastor. It’s just that once in a while I hear from God. And I have heard from Him tonight and I believe many of you will never forget tonight!
It was a Driver that drove his Madam to Ebute-Metta – He witnessed to her: “Ma, I can see that you have this Problem. I know where the Problem can be solved.” He brought her, she got Born Again; her Problem was solved.
She also told her Elder Sister who was having Problems – Her sister came, got Born Again and her Problems were solved.
The Elder Sister, who happened to be a Wealthy woman said, “This Church must be in my Town.”
She took me to their Town, we held a Crusade and the Church started in a Town called Port Harcourt.
Today, from that little town, the whole of Rivers State, the whole of the East, South-South, and some Nations Abroad are filled with the Redeemed Christian Church of God -;It started through a Driver.
And you the Servant, don’t close your mouth – God has a Purpose for you;
- He sent you there to be a Witness.
- He sent you to that house to be a Link between somebody else outside, who needs a Miracle.
Thank You Father!
This is Probably the biggest one that I heard from God Tonight:
He said: I will send you Help in twos.
ALTAR CALL
Is anybody here tonight, or reading now on the Label of DMC, who knows truly that he or she is not a Child of God? – You know it;
It’s just that as we started talking about Naaman tonight, something seems to be telling you, “you are the one God is talking to.” It looks as if the Set Time for God to be Merciful to you has come.
And for you to begin to experience God’s Miracles, you have to start with Salvation – You must wash in the Blood of the Lamb, so that His Blood would wash away your sins: and then everything will become New.
So if you are here or reading this Message now on the Label of DMC, and you want to give your Life to Jesus Christ, I’m going to count from one (1) to ten (10); come forward so we can Pray for your Salvation.
I’m counting now!
Don’t let your Pride hold you back – Come and Surrender your Life to Jesus Christ today.
Lift your voice to the Almighty God and say: Father; at long last I am here at Your feet.
Please save my Soul, forgive all my sins, let this day be my Day of Salvation.
Let this day be the Day of my New Beginning. I am ready to Surrender to You Lord.
Please save my Soul, make me one of Your Children and I will serve You for the rest of my Life.
Go ahead, Pray!
And the rest of us, let’s Stretch our hands toward these people and intercede for them.
That God who saved our Souls would save their own Souls also.
Pray for them just for two (2) Minutes.
Thank You Father! Glory be to God. Thank You LORD.
In Jesus’ Mighty Name we have Prayed – Amen.
