OPENING PRAYER
Father, we Thank You for Your Faithfulness, Thank You for what You are doing in our world Today and Thank You for what You are doing in our Nation, Nigeria in Particular and in all the Nations of the world.

Let there be Seed for the Sower and Bread to the Eater.
And let Your Name be Glorified.
I Pray that You confirm Your Words with Signs, Wonders, Miracles and Mighty Answers to Prayers
Thank You Father as You bless us together.
In Jesus Mighty Name we Pray – Amen!
First and foremost, I want to give Glory to God for the opportunity to Partake of this Great Congress this Year (2025) – Blessed be His Holy Name.
And I want to Celebrate our Daddy and Mummy – Daddy GO, Pastor E.A Adeboye and Mummy GO, Pastor (Mrs) Folu Adeboye.
You have been a Great Support for the Pentecostal Fellowship of Nigeria (PFN) and an Empowerment and Strength for the Church in Nigeria.
You are a Great Light that is Shining all over Nigeria and the world and we are so Proud to have you as our father.
More Grace, and more Strength in the Mighty Name of Jesus Christ.
You will live very long to Provide effective Leadership for the Body of Christ in Nigeria and Globally.
And I greet all the Leadership of The Redeemed Christian Church of God (RCCG) – We Thank God for what God is doing with The Redeemed Christian Church of God (RCCG) Group Globally.
More Grace in the Mighty Name of Jesus – Amen.
The Theme of this Congress is: “The God of all flesh”.
Talking from Jeremiah 32:27.
The Prophet said concerning God – Jeremiah 32:27: Behold, I am the LORD, the God of all flesh: is there any thing too hard for me?
God is asking all of us a Question. And the answer is a “Resounding No” – There is Nothing too hard for the Lord.
And as we all gathered here, I believed that God will Stretch forth His Hand to touch our lives to move Mountains, to fill Valleys and to make Crooked Places smooth and rough Plains Straight in the Mighty Name of Jesus – Amen.
And all of us will break into Year 2026 with Great Miracles, Signs and Wonders in the Mighty Name of Jesus Christ – Amen.
I have been asked to speak on the Subjecf: “Ask Not, have Not”.
In the Light of the Theme of the Congress, the Bible Text is taken from James 4:2.
It says: Ye lust, and have not: ye kill, and desire to have, and cannot obtain: ye fight and war, yet ye have not, because ye ask not.
This Scripture is telling us the reason why many People in the world do not have the desires of their Heart.
And alas many in the Church; they desire but they don’t have it because they do not ask.
Now let me say this: Every Human Beings alive has a Need – Each one of us, we have a Need in our Life. From the Greatest and the Mightiest, to the smallest and Youngest; everybody has Needs.
The Needs could be Physical, the Needs may be Material, the Needs may be Emotional, the Needs may be Financial, the Needs may be Marital and the Needs may be Spiritual – Everubody has Needs.
I. Some Needs are met by ourselves.
For Example, I need #100,000 and I have #500,000 in my Account.
I don’t need anybody to help me – I just transfer the Money or move the Money or Cash the Money.
Because I need that #100,000; I take it from what I have.
Then, I have met my Need.
II. But there are some Needs God uses People to Minister to us and to help us meet the Needs.
And God likes to use People to meet our Needs.
Like in Luke 6:38; it says: Give, and it shall be given unto you; good measure, pressed down, and shaken together, and running over, shall men give into your bosom. For with the same measure that ye mete withal it shall be measured to you again.
So when we Give to God, God uses Men to meet our Needs and to give us.
And there are other Needs like that, that God uses People to give.
But only God can Supply all our Needs.
There is no Human Beings, so Great and so Big that can Supply all our Needs.
God can use a Human Being to meet one of our Needs but when we talk of all our Needs, it is only God!
And Apostle Paul said it when he was Praying for the Philippians Brethrens in Philippians 4:19 – That very Popular Scripture.
Those Philippians Brethrens were Supplying him and they were Providing for His Needs.
He said: But my God shall Supply all your Needs according to His riches in Glory by Christ Jesus.
… Only God can meet all our Needs,
And I want us to listen to the Word of God this Morning to open your Heart and your entire Life to God – He loves you, He cares for you and He knows what you Need.
The Needs that you have and you know about, He knows them.
The Needs that you have, you don’t even know about it – He knows them.
But as you open your Heart up to Him; He will move by His Words and Spirit to Suplly all our Needs.
I want you to trust God to do that for you so that by the time you are going back home when this Congress is coming to a close; you will know that God has Supplied all our Needs and that you have no Lack in your Life and that God has Perfected everything that concerns you.
In Psalms 34:4; we have a Confession of David.
Look at what David said here to buttress my Point – He said: I sought the Lord and He heard me and He delivered me from all my fears.
… Not one of my fear, not one of my concern but ALL of my fears.
And the Bible says that you should cast all your fears upon him for He cares for you (DMC NOTES: 1 Peter 5:7).
So, it is only God that can meet all of our Needs.
And we are in His Presence throughout this Congress; so don’t hide anything from Him – Present your Needs to Him, and speak to Him about it.
Take every Sessions of this Congress seriously, take every Words God is sending to us seriously and take every Opportunities that you have to Pray seriously.
Ensure that you really Pray because if you Pray; you will receive – If you don’t ask, the Need will be there unmet.
Whereas God has the Ability and the Capability – He is the God of all flesh and there is Nothing that is too hard for Him.
He is ready to meet all our Needs because He loves us but He wants us to ask.
And that leads me to the Next Point – One major way by which God Supplies our Need is through Prayer
God has organised and arranged the Channel of Prayer whereby we can connect with His riches in Glory and draw from Him what we Need.
God is the President whose Milk is so much as to satisfy everyone of His Children but He wants you to ask.
In Matthew 7:7; if you read the Word of our Lord Jesus Christ – “Ask and it shall be given you”
Very categorical – Not that it might be given you but shall be given you.
Then He went ahead and said: Seek and ye shall find; Knock and it shall be opened unto you.
Nothing can be clearer than this.
And this is God speaking to each one of us His Children that, that Need you have in Life, don’t continue to cover it in your body – Speak to Him.
That Sickness, ask God to take it away – He is the Great Physician and He will do it.
That Marital Need – You want to be married or you trust God for a Spouse (The bone of your bone and the flesh of your flesh); ask Him.
He did it before:
☆ He did it for Adam in the Garden of Eden and He can do it again.
☆ He did it for Isaac when He brought his wife (Rebecca) and He can do it again.
So, He is the same Yesterday and Today and Forever (DMC NOTES: Hebrews 13:8).
In Matthew 7:8; He now doubles it and said: For everyone that asketh receiveth.
This means that the Person that does not ask will not receive.
Or the Person who is lazy in the Place of Prayer, will not receive.
Or the Person who is Negligent in the Place of Prayer, will not receive.
Or the Person who does not believe the Power of Prayer does not receive.
There is a Spiritual Equation that works with Mathematical Preception – It says: Much Prayer results in much Blessings; little Prayer results into little Blessings and no Prayer will result in no Blessing.
And I believe that Today and before this Meeting is over; God will deliver to you the burning Needs of your Life – Amen.
What you have been thinking about and desiring it, you are taking it home Today – Amen!
Then it continues: And He that seeketh findeth and to him that knocketh, it shall be opened.
That is a Categorical Statement with no Ambiguity – No question of whether it may happen or it may not happen; the God of Truth is the One saying them.
And then Jesus Christ now gave an illustration in Verse 9 – Matthew 7:9-11:
- Or what man is there of you, whom if his son ask bread, will he give him a stone?
- Or if he ask a fish, will he give him a serpent?
- If ye then, being evil, know how to give good gifts unto your children, how much more shall your Father which is in heaven give good things to them that ask him?
So Good things are available.
The Bible made it clear in James 1:17 – That every Good Gift, every Perfect Gift comes from Above, from the father of Light in whom there is no variableness neither shadow of turning.
It is when we ask that we will receive and when we receive, we have Joy.
I have a little boy in my house – About nine (9) years old and he loves to Paint.
And anytime that I am travelling or going somewhere; he will say: Daddy, Please bring me something. And I will say okay.
And I won’t forget because when I appear like this; the young boy will run to the door of the car with his arms wide open – What do you buy for me?
And you can see the Joy in his face each time that I give him what I brought for him.
Now, Jesus Christ said this in John 16:24: Hitherto have ye asked nothing in my name: ask, and ye shall receive, that your joy may be full.
So when we Pray, God answers – He is a Faithful God and He is a Rewarder of those that diligently seek Him (DMC NOTES: Hebrews 11:6).
So Child of God, I want to encourage you – Ask and you will have.
Stop complaining, stop murmuring, stop crying and stop weeping.
Begin to ask God in Faith and it shall be given to you.
God has given us Assurances in His Word of Truth over and over again that when we ask, we shall receive.
In Psalm 50: 14-15; hear the Word of God:
- Offer unto God Thanksgiving; and pay thy vows unto the Most High:
- And call upon me in the day of trouble: I will deliver thee, and thou shalt Glorify me.
Like we know that our Nation Nigeria is going through a very trying time and this is the time that we should Push for Prayers because God still answer Prayers.
I know People will say that we have been Praying, what has happened?
Ha, what would have happened if we didn’t Pray?
It is the Prayers of the Saints that is keeping this Nation together.
Our Daddy GO once said that all that we need to do for the Nation to collapse is for Believers to stop Praying.
So let us keep on Praying in this Particular Time; let us Push in Prayers.
In Jeremiah 29: 11-12; God gave us Assurances again:
Jeremiah 29:11-12:
- For I know the thoughts that I think toward you, saith the LORD, thoughts of Peace, and not of evil, to give you an expected end.
- Then shall ye call upon me, and ye shall go and Pray unto me, and I will hearken unto you.
I believe that all of us has come to Pray to God during this Congress.
Which is what I believe that all that are connected all over the world via whatever devices or reading now on the Label of DMC; you have come to Pray to the Throne of the Living God who answer Prayers.
And He said Categorically that: I will hearken unto you – Meaning: Listen intently to you.
Jeremiah 29:13 says: And ye shall seek me, and find me, when ye shall search for me with all your Heart.
This is God giving us Assurances that when we ask, we will receive.
So which means that when we neglect to ask or when we forget to ask or when we are casual about asking or Passionate about asking; we miss out this.
The Song writer said it:
O what Peace we often forfeit,
O what needless pain we bear,
All because we do not carry
Everything to God in Prayer
So let us carry all our Burdens to the Lord and cast them upon Him.
And let us Pray Passionately and then you will receive answers to the Prayers.
Let me show you two (2) Great Examples:
- 1 Chronicles 4: 9-10.
Somebody whose Life has been twisted, Somebody who has tasted the bitter water of Life and had faced Negative Things – His name was Jabez and we all have read about his Story.
And Jabez was more Honourable than his Brethren – That is what happened to him as a result of his asking.
He didn’t begin that way – No, Nobody begins Great.
For Example, if you ask our Daddy GO, he has Stories of decades – Stories of Praying, Pushing and Fasting.
And he has Stories of receiving Mind bungling Miracles, Signs and Wonders Globally.
So much so that in two hundred (200) Nations of the world, the impact of the Grace of God upon his Life is very Strongly felt because he believes in the God that answer Prayers – The God that answered Jabez.
And He has Proven it and He is Challenging us to take the issue of asking seriously.
You don’t have because you have not asked – If you ask, you will have.
Look at this Man – His mother called him Jabez. Meaning Sorrow and saying because I bear him in Sorrow.
So, he was wearing the badge of Sorrow all over the Place – When they want to call his name, they call him Sorrow.
He has no friend, no Playmate in Class, no woman wanted to marry him because who wants to marry Sorrow and sleep in bed with Sorrow and have children for Sorrow?
This Man’s Life was bitter.
Maybe Somebody here or hearing me or reading now on the Label of DMC: You have gone through the bitter side of Life this Year,
Look at what Jabez said in 1 Chronicles 4:10: And Jabez called on the God of Israel – The God of Abraham, Isaac and Jacob.
And he said that: Oh that thou wouldest bless me indeed.
Meaning: I don’t want Ordinary Blessing my God and my Father.
Bless me indeed means bless me and let the whole world knows of it, hear of it, see it and Celebrate it.
And that is what happened.
Oh that thou wouldest bless me indeed.and enlarge my Coast.
Enlarge my Coast means:
☆ I don’t want to be small but Great.
☆ Stretch my Borders.
☆ Let me have friends across Nations of the world
☆ I want to be Blessing to all the families of the Earth.
… enlarge my Coast, and that thine hand might be with me and that thou wouldest keep me from evil that it may not grieve me.
What a Prayer? He was so Specific in his Request.
And what happened?
The Bible says that: “And God granted him that which he requested”.
That is our God – And He is the same Yesterday and Today and Forever.
The God of Jabez is your God – If He answer Jabez in those days, He will answer you Today. Just ask and it shall be given to you.
- In 2 Kings 2:9 – Let’s see what happened between Elisha and Elijah.
When it was time for Elijah to be taken to Heaven – And it came to pass when they were gone over, that Elijah said unto Elisha, ask what I shall do for thee before I be taken away from thee?
What a critical moment, moment of Destiny Connection and Glorious Great Turning Point and a moment of making History.
That you are listening to this Message or reading now on the Label of DMC: God is giving each of us an opportunity like Elijah gave to Elisha.
That is Open Cheque – Fill in anything that you want and go and Present it.
And Elisha said, I Pray thee, let a Double Portion of thy Spirit be upon me.
☆ He didn’t ask for Money but what Commands Money.
☆ He didn’t ask for instant death of his Enemies, he asked for what will make him untouchable for the enemy and that all those who tried to touch him will roast by Fire.
☆ He didn’t ask for a Miracle, he ask for what will make Miracles to happen to him and other People.
And in 2 Kings 2:10, what did the Man of God said: And he said, thou hast asked a hard thing.
Let me Paraphrase that: Nobody has asked me this kind of thing before. Who taught you to ask for what is important?
What you ask for is a very heavy but there is a Condition: if thou should see me when I am taken away from thee, it shall be so unto thee, but if not, it shall not be so,
Do you see the Topic of this Message there? If you see me, you get it; if you don’t see it, you don’t get it.
And then, Elisha was Persistent – He didn’t leave Elijah one Minute but kept on following him.
The Man of God did everything to shake him off his back and to discourage him but Elisha was very focused – He Persisted and he got it.
At the end of the day, he (Elisha) did more than double what Elijah did.
Now, may God open our Understanding to know what is important at this moment in History so that you will ask what is important – And not Peanut or fish but for the Ability to not only catch fish but to feed People and the world.
Listen to the kind of Prayer that God answer.
The kind of Prayer that God answers and the One that wil, get his attention are: Qualitative and Quantitative Prayers!
God wants us to really Pray and be Persistent and Continuous in our Prayers.
In Romans 12:12; the Apostle Paul says: Rejoicing in Hope, Patient in Tribulation, continuing Instant in Prayer.
Brothers and Sisters, let us not quit – Don’t be discouraged.
My Prayer is this: That the Spirit of Grace and Supplication will come upon you and ignite in you afresh a fresh Passion to Pray more than ever before at this critical moment of your Life – Amen!
Luke 18:1-8
- And he spake a Parable unto them to this end, that men ought always to pray and not to faint.
- Saying, There was in a city a judge, which feared not God, neither regarded man:
- And there was a widow in that city; and she came unto him, saying, Avenge me of mine adversary.
- And he would not for a while: but afterward he said within himself, Though I fear not God, nor regard man;
- Yet because this widow troubleth me, I will avenge her, lest by her continual coming she weary me.
- And the Lord said, Hear what the unjust judge saith.
- And shall not God avenge his own elect, which cry day and night unto him, though he bear long with them?
- I tell you that he will avenge them speedily. Nevertheless when the Son of man cometh, shall he find faith on the earth?
But there is a dimension of Quality and not just Quantity Praying.
There are some Quantity of Prayers – Some People Prayer for 7 Hours while some Pray for 7 Seconds.
And the One that Prays for 7 Seconds, the answer will come and the one Praying for 7 Hours hasn’t gotten anything.
Because even though he pays attention to the Quantity, he didn’t pay attention to the Quality.
In James 5:16; it says: Confess your faults one to another and Pray one for another that ye may be Healed.
If there are Malice in you, you might be Praying Quantitatively but not Qualitatively because Jesus Christ said that if your Brother have grudges against you, don’t come to the Altar but go and settle first then you Pray to me.
James now said: The effectual fervent Prayer of a Righteous man availeth much.
A Prayer that is effective does not fail and God listen and answer.
Not just because it is Quantitative but it is Qualitative.
I. And then it is the fervent Prayer and not Lukewarm Prayer – God hates Lukewarmness.
In Lukewarm Prayers, your Heart is not in it and there is no Passion in it.
When you Pray Qualitative Prayer, we Pray with Passion.
II. And it is offered by a Righteous man.
A Righteous man here means a Child of God who has become the Righteousness of God because He has received the Lord as his/her Lord and Saviour.
If you are Born Again and a Child of God, His ears are opened to your cries.
You have been made Righteous not because of what you did but because of what He did for you on the Cross of Calvary.
That is one side of the coin.
The other side of the coin is: As a Child of God, you are walking in Righteousness.
Your Yea will be Yea and your Nay will be Nay.
No lie, no lust of the flesh, no lust of the eyes and no Pride of Life, no Arrogance but walking in Humility, Grace of God and Holiness.
And so our Prayer must be:
☆ Quantitative – Praying without ceasing.
☆ Qualitative – Fervent and offered in Righteousness, Lifted Up to God with Holy Hands.
1 Timothy 2:8: I will therefore that men pray everywhere lifting up Holy Hands without wrath and doubting.
And as a Child of God, Ephesians 6:18 is a Prayer that you Pray in the Power of the Holy Spirit.
Apostle Paul says: Praying always with all Prayer and Supplication in the Spirit and watching therefore with all Perseverance and Supplication for all Saints.
It does not necessarily means Speaking in Tongues but it is talking about a Prayer that is inspired and energised by the Holy Spirit.
Romans 8:26 makes it clear that we don’t know how to Pray as we should.
Romans 8:26: Likewise the Spirit also helpeth our infirmities; for we know not what we should Pray for as we ought: but the Spirit itself maketh Intercession for us with groanings which cannot be uttered.
III. And then when we Pray this Prayer, we Pray with all your Heart.
Psalms 119: 1-2:
- Blessed are the undefiled in the way, who walk in the Law of the LORD.
- Blessed are they that keep His Testimonies and that seek Him with the whole Heart.
If you are Praying and your eyes and Hearts wondering – No!
That is why we close eyes while we Pray so that we can focus on God.
IV. And this is a Prayer we Pray believing His Word.
Mark 11: 23-24:
- For verily I say unto you, that whosoever shall say unto this Mountain, Be thou removed and be thou cast into the sea and shall not doubt in his Heart but shall believe that those things which he saith shall come to pass; he shall have whatsoever he saith.
- Therefore I say unto you, what things soever ye desire, when ye Pray, believe that ye receive them and ye shall have them.
… You Pray with Thanksgiving.
V. You mingle your Prayers with Thanksgiving and not Complaining.
Go with Joy.
Philippians 4:6: Be careful for nothing, but in everything by Prayer and Supplication with Thanksgiving let Your Requests be made known unto God.
ALTAR CALL
There is a Glorious Invitation for all of us in Hebrews 4: 14-16.
I started this Message that every Human Beings has Needs – The Greatest has Needs.
As a matter of fact, the bigger you are, the bigger your Needs.
But God can meet all Needs.
He now says: Come, there is Grace, Mercy and Help available for you.
That is what happens when we Pray:
- When we Pray, we find Grace.
- When we Pray, we obtain Mercy.
- When we Pray, we receive Help.
And these three (3) things settle all the difference of our lives.
May the Needs of our lives be abundantly satisfied Today through the Mercy of God, through the Help of God and through the Grace of God.
Finally, Psalm 27:8: When thou saidst seek ye my face, my Heart said unto thee thy face Lord will I seek.
So God has asked us to ask, He has invited us to His Presence and He has invited us to come to His Throne of Grace so that we can find Grace, obtain Mercy and get Help.
David was revealing one of his secret of Greatness said: When you say seek ye my face; my Heart replies that thy face will I seek.
Friends, stop running from Pillar to Post – Go to the Presence of your Father.
Everything that you are looking for from men, He has it – He is the only One that can Supply all your Needs.
And Today as you Pray, my God shall Supply all your Needs according to His riches in Glory by Christ Jesus.
Let us rise up and begin to Pray!
Write your Prayer Points in a Note Book and then Present them to God.
I. What you want God to do for you during this Congess, write them.
II. What you want God to do for you before the end of this Year, write them.
III. What you want God to do for you in Year 2026, write them.
And then we stand and we Pray over them and then I will close with a Word of Prayer.
Let us rise up now and begin to Pray to God and Pinpoint what you want Him to do for you.
In Jesus Mighty Name we Pray – Amen.
CLOSING PRAYER
Father, we Thank You.
You are Faithful and Your Word is true.
You ask us to ask and we have asked.
I Pray Oh Lord that You Favour us in Your Grace and Mercy.
Answer all the Prayers Your Children has Presented to You and give them Laughter.
Lord, that they will Laugh into 2026 and they will Laugh throughout 2026 and they will give You Glory for all that You have given to them and all that You have done.
Thank You Father.
We give You all the Glory.
In Jesus Mighty Name we Pray – Amen! Amen!! Amen!!!
