THE RCCG OCTOBER 2025 HOLY GHOST SERVICE

THEME: GATE PROTECTORS

MINISTERING TALK 3 (SOUTH-WEST ZONE PRESENTATION): PASTOR EMMANUEL OBALOYE

DATE: 3RD OCTOBER 2025

BIBLE TEXT: GENESIS 3:24

If you are shouting; Shout Hallelujah – Hallelujah.

Hear this, “The Winning Side is the Shouting Side.”

Shout hallelujah – Hallelujah!

I am glad to announce to you that when God was about to deliver Samaria from seven (7) years of Captivity; what He used to scatter the Army of Syrians was just a Noise.

One of the Weapons of a Gate Protector is a Noise – Noise of Victory.

Shout Glory – Glory!

Alright! Turn to your Neighbour and say: If you hate our Noise, then you don’t belong to our Tribe.

We are from the Tribe of the Lion of Judah – And when we roar, the devil must take cover.

Come on, roar in the Holy Ghost and shout hallelujah – Hallelujah!

Lord, we Worship You Tonight.

Take the Glory; give us the Blessing and let the devil take the shame.

In Jesus’ Name we Pray – Amen.

Let your Amen be louder than that of your Neighbour – Amen!

I’ll like to humbly appreciate our Beloved Parents in the Lord – Daddy and Mummy G.O for this Privilege.

Daddy and Mummy, we Love you!

More of His Grace, in the Name of Jesus – Amen.

You know, sometimes it is a bit difficult to be the one to speak last.

I want to appreciate God for all the Speakers Tonight.

Please, Celebrate Jesus in their lives.

Quickly, the Topic before us says: Gate Protectors.

And I’ll take my Bible Text from Genesis 3:24.

So he drove out the man; and he placed at the East of the Garden of Eden Cherubims, and a flaming sword which turned every way, to keep the way of the Tree of Life.

You’ve heard it said, that God is the Ultimate Gate Protector.

According to Psalm 121:4-5, the Bible says: Behold, He that keepeth Israel shall neither Slumber nor Sleep. The Lord is thy Keeper: the Lord is thy Shade upon thy right hand

Gate Protectors may Slumber but the Ultimate Gate Protector; the Original Gate Protector Himself, neither sleeps nor Slumbers.

In Psalm 127:1, the Bible says: Except the Lord build the house, they labour in vain that build it: except the Lord keep the City, the Watchman waketh but in vain.

From our Bible Text (Genesis 3:24) we see that God assigned Angelic Guards to Protect the Garden.

And we call them the Cherubims.

Who are the Cherubims?

According to Ezekiel Chapters 1, 4, and 10:

I. Cherubims were created as Protectors.

II. They were Specially made to Protect the Throne.

But God was setting a Pattern for the Scripture by deploying them to the Garden of Eden.

For you to be a Gate Protector, it means you are an Extension of the Ministry of Angels.

How do I know?

Daniel 4:17 says, This matter is by the decree of the Watchers, and the demand by the Word of the Holy ones: to the intent that the Living may know that the most High ruleth in the Kingdom of men, and giveth it to whomsoever he will, and setteth up over it the basest of men.

Angels are Protectors – They Protect Territories and Nations.

And so God is saying to you and I: As the Angels are Protectors in the Realm of the Spirit, He also calls for men to be Protectors in their Physical Domains.

Ezekiel 22:30 says, And I sought for a man among them, that should make up the hedge, and stand in the gap before me for the Land, that I should not destroy it: but I found none.

WHAT IS A GATE?

1. A Gate is a Place of Battle:

How do I know?

In Judges 5:8, the Bible says, They chose new gods; then was war in the Gates: was there a shield or spear seen among forty thousand in Israel?

2. A Gate is the Sitting Place of Elders:

According to Ruth 4:1, the Gate is the sitting Place of Elders.

Also, Ruth 4:11 says, the Elders take decisions at the Gate.

Proverbs 31:23 says: Her husband is known in the Gates, when he sitteth among the Elders of the Land.

… And here is the Question:

Why are the Elders sitting at the Gate?

I. Gates define Tribes.

II. Gates can be described as Tribal Boundaries.

In Revelation 21:12, the Bible says, And had a wall Great and High, and had twelve Gates, and at the Gates twelve Angels, and names written thereon, which are the names of the twelve Tribes of the children of Israel:

3. Faters can also be likened to Gates:

Genesis 28:12-17, the Bible says, And he dreamed, and behold a Ladder set up on the Earth, and the top of it reached to Heaven: and behold the Angels of God ascending and descending on it. And, behold, the LORD stood above it, and said, I am the LORD God of Abraham thy father, and the God of Isaac: the Land whereon thou liest, to thee will I give it, and to thy Seed;

Listen to me, fathers are Custodians of Gates. Why?

• Because Gate is a Place of Encounter.
• Gate is a Place of Revelation.
• Gate is a Place of Prophecy.

That is why fathers are likened to Gates – They are the Original Gate Protectors.

If you are going to gain access to a Territory Sir/Ma; there are fathers that God has put over those Territories.

If you don’t locate them you may not access the Treasures within the Territories.

WHAT ARE THE QUALITIES OF GATE PROTECTORS?

1. They are Burden Bearers:

Nehemiah 1:2-4 says, And they said unto me, The remnant that are left of the Captivity there in the Province are in Great affliction and reproach: the wall of Jerusalem also is broken down, and the Gates thereof are burned with fire. And it came to pass, when I heard these words, that I sat down and wept, and mourned certain days, and Fasted, and Prayed before the God of Heaven.

If you are not Burden Driven then you are not qualified to keep the Gate of your Territory.

The Bible says that Nehemiah heard News from the Brethren in Judah telling him;

• The wall of Jerusalem also is broken down.
• The Gates thereof are burned with fire.

When Nehemiah heard this News;

• He was troubled, and he lost his Peace.
• He sat down and wept.
• He mourned certain days.
• And he began to Fast.
• He began to Pray and seek the face of God.

The Bible says in Daniel 9:2, In the first year of his reign I Daniel understood by Books the Number of the years, whereof the Word of the Lord came to Jeremiah the Prophet, that he would accomplish seventy years in the desolations of Jerusalem.

I. If you are not Burden Driven, there is no way you can be a Gate Protector of your Family.

II. If you are not concerned about the State of a Nation, you are not qualified to be a Gate Protector.

III. If you are not concerned about the way enemies are invading our Churches and killing People at will, you are not qualified to be a Gate Protector.

IV. If you are not concerned about how Cancer is eating Believers, you are not qualified to be a Gate Protector.

V. If you are not concerned about how Darkness is ravaging the Land, then you are not qualified to be a Gate Protector.

VI. If you do not carry Burdens, you will die with others.

Only Burden Bearers have the Grace and the Call to become Gate Protectors.

2. They Possess the Voice and a Noise:

In Genesis 1:1-2, the Bible says, In the beginning God created the Heaven and the Earth. And the Earth was without form, and void; and Darkness was upon the face of the deep. And the Spirit of God moved upon the face of the waters.

Do you know that as Powerful as the Almighty God is, not until He opened His mouth to speak, Darkness was in Charge of the Creation?

• Darkness was having a freed day: even though God is the Almighty.

Not until He said, “Let there be Light”; there was still Darkness.

Until God gives you a Voice, Darkness will keep Parading itself and having a freed day.

Isaiah 60:1-2 says, Arise, Shine; for thy Light is come, and the Glory of the Lord is risen upon thee. For, behold, the Darkness shall cover the Earth, and Gross Darkness the People: but the Lord shall arise upon thee, and his Glory shall be seen upon thee.

• Darkness wants to Conquer.
• Darkness wants to Cover.
• Darkness wants to Rule.
• Darkness wants to Reign.

Until a Gate Protector arises and becomes a Voice of Defense; then we are helpless.

Goliath was having a freed day; he was bombarding and bulldozing – He was flexing his muscles.

And as long as there was no Voice, Goliath was ruling; until God found a Voice in David.

Tonight, God will find a Voice in you – Amen.

God will give you a Voice – Amen.

We are more in number; if only we will use our Voices in our different Fields, and not remain quiet, then we will conquer those Territories for the Lord.

• Use your Voice to take over the Media.
• Use your Voice to take over Entertainment, etc.

In Acts 2:1-4, the Bible says the Holy Ghost came as a Tongue of Fire, so as to give you a Voice.

Let the devil begin to hear the Voice of the Saints – Speak the Word wherever you find yourself.

The Bible says, “Greater is He that is in you, than he that is in the world” (DMC NOTES: 1 John 4:4).

… Can I hear an Amen? (Amen)

In Isaiah 42:13-14, the Bible says, The LORD shall go forth as a Mighty Man, he shall stir up jealousy like a man of war: he shall cry, yea, roar; he shall Prevail against his Enemies. I have long held my Peace; I have been still, and refrained myself: now will I cry like a travailing woman; I will destroy and devour at once.

What is God saying?

• There is a Link between your Voice and your Victory.
• There is a Link between your Cry and your Possession.
• There is a Correlation between the Cry of the Saints and the Victory of a Nation.

When the Holy Ghost came on the Day of Pentecost, there was a Noise;

When Jesus was to raise Lazarus from dead He did not do it as a Gentleman;

He said, “Roll away the stone” – Thereafter He cried with a loud voice, “Lazarus, come forth!

• Your Voice is your Weapon.
• Your Noise is your Weapon.

In a moment, let’s Pray in the Holy Ghost!

In the Name of Jesus – Amen!

3. Gate Protectors control the Keys to Territories:

Isaiah 22:22 says, And the key of the house of David will I lay upon his shoulder; so he shall open, and none shall shut; and he shall shut, and none shall open.

The Bible says in Matthew 16:16-19, And I will give unto thee the keys of the Kingdom of Heaven: and whatsoever thou shalt bind on Earth shall be bound in Heaven: and whatsoever thou shalt loose on Earth shall be loosed in Heaven.

Gate Protectors are the Custodians of Keys.

You can’t access the Gates without going through them because the Keys are in their hands.

Many People in my Generation don’t want to keep Gates; but they want to sit on Thrones.

Do you know why? Because there is Labour at the Gate!

• Elders sit at the Gate.
• Inheritances and Prophecies are captured at the Gate.

So the Elders are sitting round Prophecies;

They are sitting over their Inheritances.

In Genesis 41:40-44, the Bible says: Thou shalt be over my house, and according unto thy word shall all my People be ruled: only in the Throne will I be greater than thou. And Pharaoh said unto Joseph, See, I have set thee over all the Land of Egypt. And Pharaoh said unto Joseph, I am Pharaoh, and without thee shall no man lift up his hand or foot in all the Land of Egypt.

Wait a Minute: What is he talking about? – “I have the Throne, but you are in Charge.”

Fellow Gate Protectors, only those who have the Key have the Charge.

You may be on the Throne and not be in Charge.

Pharaoh said, “I have the Throne, but you are in Charge.” Why?

… It’s because Solutions are birthed by Gate Protectors.

Believe me sincerely: When people are in trouble, and when Nations are in disarray, they look for Gate Protectors.

If they are in Prison (like Joseph); they would send for them in the Palace.

Men are looking for Solutions – And if they find them in the Wilderness, they will go after them like John the Baptist.

In the Name of Jesus, you’ll be the Answer to your Generation – Amen.

… Let me close with this;

The Bible says in Revelation 21:12, And had a wall great and high, and had twelve Gates, and at the Gates twelve Angels, and names written thereon, which are the names of the twelve Tribes of the children of Israel:

Help me ask your Neighbour: “Have you located your Tribe?”

Say to another Neighbour: Every Gate has a Tribe, and every Tribe has a Gate.

Have you located your Tribe?

Believe me sincerely, The Redeemed Christian Church of God (RCCG) has a Tribe – There are Prophecies hanging over this Tribe. Let me tell you one of them:

Our father-in-the-Lord has said that a time will come in this Covenant Commission that when People die for three (3) days, they would go and look for an Usher to raise the dead of three (3) days.

That is why we need Gate Protectors.

One of the reasons why we need them is that they’ll Arise and make demands, and defend Prophecies hanging over our fathers.

• So Daddy G.O said, if a Person is dead for three (3) days, they would go and look for an Usher.
• If a Person is dead for Seven (7) days, they would go and look for other Ministers who are not yet Pastors.
• If a Person is dead for one (1) Month, then they would go and look for Pastors.

Our Problem is that we are looking for Titles, while the world is looking for Mantle Carriers.

And it’s because we don’t even know that there are Prophecies hanging over our Tribe.

Daddy G.O continued by saying;

• If a Person is dead for Three (3) Months and above, that is when they can call the General Overseer.

Let me ask you: “The last time someone died in your Church, what did you do?

Rise on your feet, Please.

• I want us to fight for Prophecies Tonight.
• Let’s make Demands for hanging Prophecies over our Nation.
• Prophecies hanging on our Tribe as a Church.

Nigeria has seen its worse days; It is high time we begin to see the Glory – Amen.

There was a Prophecy to that effect, by Pa Elton.

The hour has come for Gate Protectors to Arise – Amen.

PRAYER

Raise your Voice and say Father, here I am, send me.

God will find you. He will raise you as a Voice in your Generation, in the Name of Jesus – Amen!

In Jesus’ Name we have Prayed – Amen.

There is a Prophecy over the Redeemed Christian Church of God (RCCG):

The Lord told our father-in-the-Lord that He is going to give us an Auditorium the Size of Ibadan (DMC NOTES: The Capital CIty of Oyo State Nigeria).

If God is going to give us an Auditorium the size of Ibadan: “Why are we calling this Place Redemption City?”

… I am speaking as a Boy!

In other words, “Eyes have not seen, ears have not heard, neither has the Heart conceive the Mighty Things God is going to do through us (DMC NOTES: 1 Corinthians 2:9).

If you are the one God will use, raise your Voice and shout hallelujah – Hallelujah!!!

THEME: GATE PROTECTORS

And to all our Youth Pastors, Ministers and Leaders. God Bless You all, in Jesus’ Name – Amen.

The Theme for today, as we all know is: Gate Protectors.

Our Bible Text would be from Acts 12:1-24:

1 Now about that time Herod the king stretched forth his hands to vex certain of the church.

2 And he killed James, the brother of John with the sword.

3 And because he saw it pleased the Jews, he proceeded further to take Peter also. (Then were the days of unleavened bread.)

4 And when he had apprehended him, he put him in prison, and delivered him to four quaternions of soldiers to keep him; intending after Easter to bring him forth to the people.

5 Peter therefore was kept in prison: but prayer was made without ceasing of the church unto God for him.

6 And when Herod would have brought him forth, the same night Peter was sleeping between two soldiers, bound with two chains: and the keepers before the door kept the prison.

7 And, behold, the angel of the Lord came upon him, and a light shined in the prison: and he smote Peter on the side, and raised him up, saying, Arise up quickly. And his chains fell off from his hands.

8 And the angel said unto him, Gird thyself, and bind on thy sandals. And so he did. And he saith unto him, Cast thy garment about thee, and follow me.

9 And he went out, and followed him; and wist not that it was true which was done by the angel; but thought he saw a vision.

10 When they were past the first and the second ward, they came unto the iron gate that leadeth unto the city; which opened to them of his own accord: and they went out, and passed on through one street; and forthwith the angel departed from him.

11 And when Peter was to come to himself, he said, Now I know of a surety, that the Lord hath sent his angel, and hath delivered me out of the hand of Herod, and from all the expectation of the people of the Jews.

12 And when he had considered the thing, he came to the house of Mary the mother of John, whose surname was Mark; where many were gathered together praying.

13 And as Peter knocked at the door of the gate, a damsel came to hearken, named Rhoda.

14 And when she knew Peter’s voice, she opened not the gate for gladness, but ran in, and told how Peter stood before the gate.

15 And they said unto her, Thou art mad. But she constantly affirmed that it was even so. Then they said, It is his angel.

16 But Peter continued knocking: and when they had opened the door, and saw him, they were astonished.

17 But he, beckoning unto them with the hand to hold their peace, declared unto them how the Lord had brought him out of the prison. And he said, Go shew these things unto James, and to the brethren. And he departed, and went into another place.

18 Now as soon as it was day, there was no small stir among the soldiers, what became of Peter.

19 And when Herod had sought for him, and found him not, he examined the keepers, and commanded that they should be put to death. And he went down from Judaea to Caesarea, and there abode.

20 And Herod was highly displeased with them of Tyre and Sidon: but they came with one accord to him, and, having made Blastus the king’s chamberlain their friend, desired peace; because their country was nourished by the king’s country.

21 And upon a set day Herod, arrayed in royal apparel, sat upon his throne, and made an oration unto them.

22 And the people gave a shout, saying, It is the voice of a god, and not of a man.

23 And immediately the angel of the Lord smote him, because he did not give God the glory: and he was eaten of worms, and gave up the ghost.

24 But the word of God grew and multiplied.

WHO ARE GATE PROTECTORS?

Gate Protectors are Watchmen who have been given the Authority and the Power to defend their Gates; Defend their Position, their Territory, Mandate and Assignment.

And the Good News is that this Power has been given to all Believers by Jesus Christ – Amen.

In Luke 10:19, Jesus said, Behold, I give unto you Power to tread on serpents and scorpions, and over all the Power of the Enemy: and nothing shall by any means hurt you.

… And nothing, absolutely nothing shall by any means hurt you – Amen.

So the Power that we need to stand as Gate Protectors has already been released in us.

HOW DO WE ACTIVATE THIS POWER?

I am going to tell us a True Life Story of a Generation of Gate Protectors who took their Positions and stood as Gate Protectors and the Results from their Actions.

This Story is from our Bible Text (Acts 12:1-24).

Herod decided to flex his muscles to harass, oppress and intimidate the Church – “Now about that time Herod the King stretched forth his hands to vex certain of the Church” (Acts 12:1).

What did Herod do?

“And he killed James, the brother of John with the sword. And because he saw it Pleased the Jews, he Proceeded further to take Peter also. (Then were the days of unleavened bread.)” Acts 12:2-3

• Because he saw it Pleased the Jews;
• Because Herod saw that there were no consequences;
• Because Herod saw that the Church was Silent;

“He Proceeded further to take Peter also. (Then were the days of unleavened bread).”

• You see, every time the Church is Silent, it gives Herod more Audacity;
• Every time a Gate Protector is Silent, it gives Herod more Strength:

“And when he had apprehended him, he put him in Prison, and delivered him to four quaternions of Soldiers to keep him; intending after Easter to bring him forth to the people.” Acts 12:4

So Herod was audacious enough to waste James. And he arrested Peter, intending to give him a Public beating after Easter. And so Peter was arrested.

I love what the Church did in Acts 12:5, “Peter therefore was kept in Prison: but Prayer was made without ceasing of the Church unto God for him.”

Look at your Neighbour and tell him or her: “Prayer was made without ceasing of the Church unto God for Peter.”

The Church said, “Enough is Enough! We would no longer keep quiet for Herod.”

The thing about the Herods is:

• If you keep Silent when they take your James, they are coming for your Peter.
• If you keep quiet when they take your Peter, they are coming for your John.

The Church had had enough.

The Gate Protectors were vexed. So they Prayed ceaselessly. They said, this time around, we will not keep silent. And so they Prayed.

Colossians 4:2 says, Continue in Prayer, and Watch in the same with Thanksgiving.

They never stopped Praying.

In James 5:16, the Bible says, The earnest (heartfelt, continued) Prayer of a Righteous man makes tremendous – dynamic in its working (Amplified Classic) Power available.

So the Church said, “We will not keep quiet this time. He has slaughtered James, now he has taken Peter: How long shall we remain silent?”

The Bible says, Wherefore take unto you the whole Armour of God, that ye may be able to withstand in the evil day, and having done all, to Stand. Stand therefore, having your loins girt about with truth, and having on the Breastplate of Righteousness; And your feet shod with the Preparation of the Gospel of Peace; Above all, taking the Shield of Faith, wherewith ye shall be able to quench all the fiery darts of the wicked. And take the Helmet of Salvation, and the sword of the Spirit, which is the Word of God: Praying always with all Prayer and Supplication in the Spirit, and watching thereunto with all Perseverance and Supplication for all Saints; And for me, that utterance may be given unto me, that I may open my mouth boldly, to make known the Mystery of the Gospel. (DMC NOTES: Ephesians 6:13-19)

And they stood as a Generation of Gate Protectors – They mounted their Position.

• They put on their Helmet of Salvation.
• They took the Breastplate of Righteousness.
• They guided their Loins with the Belt of Truth.
• They took on the Sword of the Spirit, which is the Word of God.
• They shod their feet with the Preparation of the Gospel of Peace.
• They took on the Shield of Faith to quench every fiery dart of Herod.
• And they Prayed always with all Prayer and Supplication in the Spirit,

And what was the Result? Tremendous Power was made Available.

*… Lift up your hand as we Pray;

Say Father, Empower my Inner Man with Strength.

I’ll Pray and see Results. I’ll Pray always with all Prayer and Supplication;

I am not weak in the Spirit. My Spirit Man is not feeble. Empower my Spirit Man with Might, with Strength, by the Power of the Holy Ghost.

I am never weak, I am never feeble in Prayer. I continue to Pray Earnestly, Passionately, Persistently, Fervently, in the Name of Jesus!

WHAT WAS THE EFFECT OF THIS PRAYER?

1. Peter enjoyed Angelic Assistance out of Prison:

When the Church Prayed in Acts 12:5, in Verse 7 (Acts 12:7) the Bible says: And, behold, the Angel of the Lord came upon him, and a Light shined in the Prison: and he smote Peter on the side, and raised him up, saying, Arise up quickly. And his chains fell off from his hands.

As we take our Stand as Gate Protectors, God will give us Angelic Assistance, in the Name of Jesus – Amen.

Peter left the Prison, in Acts 13:12, he went to the house of Mary, whose surname was Mark. And he met the Believers still Praying.

They never stopped Praying – There was Peter in Prison, awaiting trial; to be executed like James.

The Church was Praying, and Peter was at the Door knocking.

When They heard that Peter was the one at the door knocking; they didn’t believe it:

“And when she knew Peter’s voice, she opened not the Gate for Gladness, but ran in, and told how Peter stood before the Gate. And they said unto her, Thou art mad. But she constantly affirmed that it was even so. Then said they, It is his Angel.” (Acts 1214-15)

You see, when they released tremendous Power through their Prayer, what they didn’t know is that God would show up Mightily and exceed their Expectations.

But the Lord did it for them; the kind of Miracle that you would say, “Who did it? Jesus, O my God, Woooow!!”

That would be your Testimony, in Jesus’ Name – Amen.

2. The Soldiers who were Positioned to watch Peter were Executed in Place of Peter.

When Herod looked for Peter and didn’t find him, he commanded that the Soldiers who were supposed to watch over him be Executed in his stead.

God will make everyone sent to watch His Own Watchmen fall, in the Name of Jesus – Amen.

3. Herod met his own Judgement.

In Acts 13:23, the Bible says, And immediately the Angel of the Lord smote him, because he gave not God the Glory: and he was eaten of worms, and gave up the Ghost.

Herod himself that Slaughtered James; that decided to harass the Church, met his own Judgement.

Every Herod that has stood against Gate Protectors will go down and face their own Judgement, in the Name of Jesus Christ – Amen.

You see, Herod intimidated the Church. But when the Church rose up to Pray – in that same Chapter (Acts 12), by the Power of God;

• The Church ended the reign of Herod.
• He didn’t live to see the next Chapter.

Be slaughtered James in Acts 12:1-3, arrested Peter in Acts 12:4; and in Acts 12:23 he met his own Judgement.

4. The Word of God Increased and Multiplied.

After Herod died – The Bible says in Acts 12:24, “But the Word of God grew and Multiplied.”

That is what happens when Power is released on the Gate Protectors God has Placed as Watchmen.

The Question that I want to ask you today is in Joshua 5:13. “Which side are you on?”

• Are you on the side of Herod: fighting against the Church, our Family and our Nation?
• Or you are on the Lord’s side?

Which Side do you belong to?

If you you are on the Lord’s Side, rise up on your feet and Boldly Declare: “I am on the Lord’s Side!”

… While you are in your feet, we are about to Pray.

GENERAL PRAYER

In Isaiah 62:6-7, the Bible says: I have set Watchmen upon thy walls, O Jerusalem, which shall never hold their Peace day nor night: ye that make mention of the Lord, keep not silence, And give him no rest, till he establishes, and till he makes Jerusalem a Praise in the Earth.

Let me rephrase that: “I have set Gate Protectors upon thy walls.”

Somebody say: “I will never hold my Peace day or night until He establishes my Family.”

Say: “I will never hold my Peace until He makes our Nation a Praise in the Earth.”

Where is that Generation that would never keep silent? Open your mouth and Pray for your Generation:

1. Say Father, my Generation will never be Silent – Not my Generation.

We are Strengthened with Might, our Inner Man is Strengthened by the Power of the Holy Spirit.

We will never be Silent; we will Pray without Ceasing – and tremendous Power would be made available to us.

Oh, our Generation will not keep shut – We will Pray all Prayer and Supplication in the Spirit.

No Herod shall be able to defeat us. We are empowered by God and the Gates of hell shall not Prevail against us.

And the Word of God will grow and increase in our Generation; and we will Multiply, Producing tremendous results.

Nothing shall be able to stand in our way;

Nothing shall be able to Silent our voices;

We have the Victory in Christ Jesus. Power has been given unto us, and nothing shall by any means hurt us.

We stand as Gate Protectors; we are never weak, and we are not feeble.

Strength is released in us!

It is done, in the Name of Jesus – Amen.

Put your hands together for the King of kings and the Lord of lords.

To the Leadership of the Youth and Young Adults (YAYA) in RCCG; I want to say a Big Thank You.

God Bless You for giving me this Privilege, in the Name of Jesus.

Once again, the Topic is Gate Protectors.

We shall be taking our Bible Text from: 1 Chronicles 9:19-23;

19 And Shallum the son of Kore, the son of Ebiasaph, the son of Korah, and his brethren, of the house of his father, the Korahites, were over the work of the service, keepers of the gates of the tabernacle: and their fathers, being over the host of the Lord, were keepers of the entry.

20 And Phinehas the son of Eleazar was the ruler over them in time past, and the Lord was with him.

21 And Zechariah the son of Meshelemiah was porter of the door of the tabernacle of the congregation.

22 All these which were chosen to be porters in the gates were two hundred and twelve. These were reckoned by their genealogy in their villages, whom David and Samuel the seer did ordain in their set office.

23 So they and their children had the oversight of the gates of the house of the Lord, namely, the house of the tabernacle, by wards.

The Lord Bless the reading of His Word, in the Name of Jesus – Amen.

The state, the condition and the happenings within and around a Life, a Family, a Mission, a Territory, and the world at large; is a reflection of the Transactions that take place at the Gate.

I Pray for you Tonight: Every evil transaction that has been going on in the Gate of our lives – that has made us lose that which God gave us, Tonight, there shall be Restoration, in the Name of Jesus – Amen.

For the sake of clarity, let us look at the meanings of the Core Words of our Topic tonight.

WHAT IS A GATE?

Literarily, a Gate is a movable barrier in a Wall, Fence, or City through which People enter and exit.

A Gate is also a Place of Access, Decision, Influence, Authority, and Control.

Genesis 22:17 says: That in Blessing I will bless thee, and in Multiplying I will Multiply thy Seed as the Stars of the Heaven, and as the sand which is upon the sea shore; and thy Seed shall Possess the Gate of his Enemies;

We are Possessing the Gates of our Enemies Tonight, in the Name of Jesus – Amen.

WHO IS A PROTECTOR?

A Protector in this context is not literarily a man or a woman – God is no respecter of Persons (Gender).

I. A Protector is a Guardian or a Defender who Watches and Preserves what is entrusted to him.

II. A Protector must be active because a lot of exchanges happen at the Gate – Lots of transactions, entries and exits.

III. Therefore, a Gate Protector must be Watchful; at the same time War at the Gate.

IV. He must Intercede, Enforce Boundaries, and make Sacrifices to keep the Gate secured.

V. He must be a Person of responsibility and Stewardship because he will give the account of everything that has been entrusted to him.

VI. Hence, there is no Sleep, Slumber, or Passiveness at the Gate.

The Lord will wake every sleeping Gate Protector in the Name of Jesus – Amen.

WHO THEREFORE IS A GATE PROTECTOR?

1. God Himself is the Ultimate Gate Protector.

Psalm 121:5 says, The Lord is thy Keeper: the Lord is thy shade upon thy right hand.

And Psalm 127:1 says, Except the Lord build the house, they labour in vain that build it: except the Lord keep the City, the Watchman waketh but in vain.

The Bible says in Genesis 1:1-2, In the beginning God created the Heaven and the Earth. And the Earth was without form, and void; and Darkness was upon the face of the deep. And the Spirit of God moved upon the face of the waters.

The whole Earth was full of Darkness – The Gate of Darkness Prevailed. It brought Emptiness, void, and Darkness.

There was nothing good about the Earth until the King of Glory comes in

When the Ultimate Gate Protector showed up He said, “Let there be Light:” and there was light. (DMC NOTES: Genesis 1:3)

… Immediately He spoke, there was a Transformation.

I Pray for Someone here Tonight, and those reading now on the Label of DMC: The King of kings is intervening in every situation of your Life, in the Name of Jesus – Amen.

He is going to cause a Total Transformation, in the Name of Jesus – Amen.

And there will be no more Delay, in the Name of Jesus – Amen.

… Who is a Gate Protector?

2. You are a Gate Protector.

A Gate Protector is that man (woman) that God is looking for to guard the entry of a Family and entries of Nations of the world at large.

Ezekiel 3:16-17 says, And it came to pass at the end of seven days, that the Word of the Lord came unto me, saying, Son of man, I have made thee a Watchman unto the house of Israel: therefore hear the Word at my mouth, and give them warning from me.

In Ezekiel 22:30, the Bible says, And I sought for a man among them, that should make up the hedge, and stand in the gap before me for the Land, that I should not destroy it: but I found none.

I say Tonight: Not in my time, not in my days anymore shall it be said that God sought for a man and found none.

Because from Tonight, God has found men and women who are willing to make up the edge, and stand in the gap before Him – Amen.

Say Father, I am available. Please may you find me Tonight.

THREE (3) OUTLINES

1. Examples of Gate Protectors.
2. Gates that must be Protected.
3. When there are no Gate Protectors.
4. EXAMPLES OF GATE PROTECTORS

I. God – We’ve said earlier that God is the Ultimate Gate Protector.

Human Gate Protectors may fail, but God, the Ultimate Gate Protector will never fail.

He is the One securing the Gates of our lives, Gates of our families and Nations (Psalm 127;1-2, Psalm 121:6).

II. Man is another Example of Gate Protectors.

Adam was the first Gate Protector – God gave him Authority and Dominion.

After God created the Heaven and the Earth, He gave Adam Control, to be in Charge of everything.

Genesis 1:28 says, And God blessed them, and God said unto them, Be Fruitful, and Multiply, and Replenish the Earth, and Subdue it: and have Dominion over the fish of the sea, and over the fowl of the air, and over every living thing that moveth upon the Earth.

In Genesis 2:15, the Bible says, And the LORD God took the man, and put him into the Garden of Eden to dress it and to keep it.

Not long after that, Adam fell short of the Mandate.

May our Generation not fall short of the Mandate, in the Name of Jesus – Amen.

We know the consequences – Adam was deceived, he rebelled against the Almighty God, and hid himself from God.

In Genesis 3:8-9, the Bible says: And they heard the voice of the LORD God walking in the Garden in the cool of the day: and Adam and his wife hid themselves from the Presence of the LORD God amongst the trees of the Garden. And the LORD God called unto Adam, and said unto him, Where art thou?

Today, God is asking you and I, “Where are you?”

The consequences were enormous.

We saw how man was separated from God – Glory left him, and he was clothed in Shame.

May this not be our Portion, in the Name of Jesus – Amen.

III. Pastor E.A Adeboye is another Gate Protector.

Our father-in-the-Lord, Daddy G.O is a Great Example of a Gate Protector.

The Baton of Leadership was passed to him in 1981 when the Redeemed Christian Church of God (RCCG) was very small, with few Parishes only in the Southwest of Nigeria.

Thank God for such a Great Gate Protector like himself – Now we can see the Transformation in the Redeemed Christian Church of God (RCCG).

By His Grace we are in over one hundred and ninety (190) Nations of the world.

And more Gates of Nations are opening for the Redeemed Christian Church of God (RCCG).

And because we will begin to arise as Gate Protectors; Gates of Nations will begin to open unto us, in the Name of Jesus – Amen.

Once upon a time, the Present Redemption City used to be a forest and a den of robbers.

Then it became a Camp.

Today, by the Grace of God, it has become a City.

What a Glorious Transformation!

I Pray your Life would Experience a Transformation from the Throne of Glory, in the Name of Jesus – Amen.

2. THE GATES THAT MUST BE PROTECTED.

I. Family Gate:

Proverbs 22:6 says ,Train up a Child in the way he should go: and when he is old, he will not depart from it.

Deuteronomy 6:6-7 also says, And these words, which I Command thee this day, shall be in thine Heart: And thou shalt teach them diligently unto thy Children, and shalt talk of them when thou sittest in thine house, and when thou walkest by the way, and when thou liest down, and when thou risest up.

Parents and Elders are Gate Protectors.

If you leave your Gates open, your children will absorb ungodliness, evil habits, immoralities and strange behaviors.

Parents are to Protect the Gate of their children from what they see, what they hear, learn, and the companies they keep.

II. Church Gate:

This Gate is Heaven on Earth; as seen in Matthew 16:18 – And I say also unto thee, That thou art Peter, and upon this Rock I will build my Church; and the Gates of Hell shall not Prevail against it.

As Church Leaders and Believers, we must guard against False Teachings, False Doctrines and against Compromise.

We must ensure that men are ushered into Heaven.

III. Societal and National Gates:

Intercessors and Men of Light must arise to judge Darkness.

If Righteousness retreats: Wickedness, Corruption and Darkness would Advance.

We see that in 1 Kings 17:1, Elijah a man like you and I, stood against the System of Jezebel – He did not retreat.

Do I hear you say: No Retreat, No Surrender – If there is no one to go, I will arise as Gate Protectors!

Amen!

IV. Personal Gate:

Proverbs 4:23 says, Keep thy Heart with all Diligence; for out of it are the Issues of Life.

You must guide your Heart, Mind and Thoughts – Be careful of what you think about, what you read, what you listen to and what you say.

3. WHEN THERE ARE NO GATE PROTECTORS

What happens when there are no Gate Protectors?

I Pray once again, that will not happen in my Generation, in the Name of Jesus – Amen.

I. ELI:

In 1 Samuel 2:12-17, Eli failed to restrain his sons, and they defiled the Temple Gate.

We all know the results:

• The Glory left Israel.
• The Ark was taken away.
• Israel was defeated,
• And lives were lost.

II. SAMSON:

In Judges 16:1-21, Samson failed to guide the Gate of his eyes, and the Gate of his heart – And lust entered:

• He lost his Consecration
• He lost his Strength,
• He lost his Destiny.
• He lost his Vision.
• And ultimately, he lost his Life.

May that not be our Testimony, in the Name of Jesus – Amen.

III. JERUSALEM:

Jerusalem lost it at some Point.

Lamentation 2:9 says, Her Gates are sunk into the Ground; he hath destroyed and broken her bars: her King and her Princes are among the Gentiles: the Law is no more; her Prophets also find no vision from the Lord.

• The Gate sunk.
• The City broke.
• People went into exile.
• There was Shame, Captivity and lost of Freedom.

Hear me: Nations collapse when there are no Gate Protectors at the Gate.

As I Conclude Tonight;

Every Generation rises or falls by the Strength of its Gate Protectors.

When Protectors Stand, Destinies are Preserved; but when they Fail, Destruction follows.

Shall we rise up as we Pray tonight!

PRAYERS

In the Book of Matthew 16:18 We hear God saying He will build His Church; and the Gates of hell shall not Prevail against it.

1. Lift your voice and say Father; Tonight, let every Gate of Hell fighting against the Church be Silenced.

Shall we raise our voices and cry to God!

2. Father, Tonight, let Gate Protectors rise from the East, West, North and South.

In Jesus’ Name we have Prayed – Amen.

3. Psalm 107:16 says, For he hath broken the Gates of brass, and cut the bars of iron in sunder.

Say: Father, every Gate of Brass standing against my Life, Family, Children, Health, Finance, Academics, Career, Marriage, Church, and the Nation, will be broken by Fire!
