OPENING PRAYERS:

King of Kings and the Lord of Lords we worship you. Thank you for what you did in January; Thank you for what you did in February; Thank you for what you did in March; Thank you for bringing us to the Second Quarter of this Year (2019); please accept our thanks in Jesus Name.

As we gather together tonight to dine with you; please be Present in our midst. As we partake of the symbol of your Body and symbol of your Blood, heal us in Jesus Name. Empower us in Jesus Name. Give us the Grace to begin to shine for you.

… In Jesus Mighty Name we have prayed – Amen.

And let someone shout Hallelujah – Hallelujah.

Shake hands with one (1) or two (2) people and say: Good Evening, God bless you. Then you may please be seated.

BIBLE TEXT: MATTHEW 25: 1-13.

1. Then shall the Kingdom of Heaven be likened unto ten virgins, which took their lamps and went forth to meet the bridegroom.

2. At five of them were wise, and five were foolish.

3. They that were foolish took their lamps and took no oil with them.

4. But the wise took oil in their vessels with their lamps.

5. While the bridegroom tarried, they all slumbered and slept.

6. And at midnight there was a cry made, Behold the bridegroom cometh; go ye out to meet him.

7. Then all those virgins arose and trimmed their lamps.

8. And the foolish said unto the wise, Give us of your oil; for our lamps are gone out.

9. But the wise answered saying, not so lest there be not enough for us and you: but go ye rather to them that sell and buy for yourselves.

10. And while they went to buy, the bridegroom came and they that were ready went in with him to the marriage and the door was shut.

11. Afterwards came also the other virgins saying Lord, Lord open to us.

12. But he answered and said, Verily I say unto you, I know you not.

13. Watch therefore, for ye know neither the day nor the hour wherein the Son of man cometh.

And as long as there is oil in the lamp, it Shines. As long as there is oil in the lamp, it keeps burning and the light keeps Shinning. As long as there is oil in the tank, the engine of the car will keep running. As long as there is fuel in the generator, it will continue to produce electricity.

But when the oil is out, the Shinning ceases because then the lamp will go out.

I pray for you tonight that your lamp will not go out.

And so to keep Shinning, you must learn from these virgins.

Whenever the oil is running out of the lamps, we must refill. And if you want to Shine for long then you must constantly refill.

Ephesians 5:18 says: Be not drunk with wines wherein in excess but ye be filled with the Holy Spirit.

In other words, keep filling with the Holy Spirit. Keep on refilling your tank. And when you know that the journey is long then make sure that you have plenty of fuel or at least that there are Refueling Stations on the way.

If you are travelling from Lagos to Ilorin; even if the tank of your car is full in Lagos; you need to be sure before you leave home that there is no fuel scarcity on the way.

You need to keep on refilling. The race of life is not a Sprint. The race of life is a Marathon.

In Hebrew 12:1; the Bible made it clear that we are to run with Patience the race that is set before us. The race of life is a Marathon.

That is why we come every Month to refuel. That is why we come every Month to the Holy Communion Service so that we can refill.

And tonight, we are here again to refill. We are here again to recharge our “Spiritual Battery” because the journey is long.

My Prayer for all of you who will be partaking of the Holy Communion tonight (and those reading now) is that you will finish well and you will finish strong.

And so if you are here and you have not yet surrendered your life to Jesus Christ, you do not qualify to partake of the Holy Communion until you have surrendered your life because He said in His Words: Some people take the Holy Communion unworthily as was read to us in the lesson and they become sickly and some of them die because they don’t discern the Lord’s body.

The Holy Communion is for the Body of Christ. It is for those who has become part and parcel of Him.

So, if you want to give your life to Jesus Christ, before I count five (5); come and stand before me. Let His Blood wash away your sin. Let Him receive you into the family of God so that you can become part and parcel of His Body.

So, if you want to give your life to Him, begin to come now as I count.

When you give your life to Jesus, you become part of the Body of Jesus Christ and you are free to partake of His Body and of His Blood.

Without that, without Salvation; you take the Holy Communion: you are taking it unworthily and it can cause you sickness or even death. But if you take it worthily, it can heal you and it can empower you.

Those of you coming; please keep coming and those of you that are already infront begin to talk to the Lord: Ask Him to save your souls; Ask Him to have Mercy on you; Ask Him to wash away your sins; Ask Him to receive you into the Family of God. Promise Him that you will serve Him and from now on; He will become your Lord and Saviour.

And the rest of us shall we stretch our hands towards these people and intercede for them. And pray that the One who saved our souls will save their own souls also. Pray that the Blood of Jesus that cleanses from all sins will wash them clean. Pray that beginning from now, each and everyone of them will become members of the Family of God and they will qualify to dine with the Almighty God – Pray for them!

Thank you Father; in Jesus Mighty Name we have prayed – Amen.

PRAYER FOR SALVATION

Saviour, we want to say Thank You: Thank you for your Words and Thank you for these people that have come forward to surrender their lives to you. You Promised in your Words that whosoever that will come to you you will no wise cast them out. They have come to you now, Lord please receive them in Jesus Name. Let your Blood wash away their sins; save their souls Oh Lord; write their names in the Book of Life. And from now on, anytime they call on you answer them by Fire.

In Jesus Mighty Name we have prayed – Amen.

Praise the Lord – Hallelujah!

Now those of you who have come forward; I rejoice with you because from now on, by the Grace of God I will be praying for you. So, I will need your names, address and Prayer Request.

If you turn to your left, you will see a man with a Placard. Please follow him, he will take you to a place some Pastors are waiting and they will collect the information I needed and then bring you back very quickly.

God bless you. You can begin to go now!

ADMINISTRATION OF THE HOLY COMMUNION

The Bible says that by His Stripes you are healed. The Stripes that were laid on the Body of Jesus Christ broke the body.

So when we take the Bread and we break it; we are by Faith partaking of the Stripes that broke His Body. And by His Stripes, you will be healed.

So am believing God for you tonight (Including DMC Crew Members) that as you partake of the Bread; the Power that is in the Stripes will begin to work for you.

As soon as they give you the Bread; at the appropriate time, go ahead and take it and pray that the Stripes of Jesus Christ will not be in vain for you.

When they serve you the Wine; you should hold on to it until we have all being served. And when it is time to drink, I will tell you how to pray.

The Lord Jesus the very Night in which He was betrayed; took the Bread and when He has given Thanks; He broke it and said: Take, Eat; this is my Body broken for you. Do this in remembrance of me. In the Name of the Father, and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit.

You will eat the Bread and pray: Lord don’t let your Stripes be vain in my life. Let it bring Healings to me.

When you drink the Wine this evening; your Prayers will be: Lord refill my lamp and let me keep on Shinning for you.

Shall we stand please!

After the same manner also He took the cup. When He had supped saying: This Cup is the New Testament in my Blood. Please do this as often as you drink it in remembrance of me; in the Name of the Father, and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit.

Thank you Father; please refill my lamp Lord. Let me continue to shine for you forever and ever; Shinning better day-by-day. Refill my lamp, let me keep on shinning brighter and brighter until I see you in Glory.

Oh, thank you Father. Blessed be your Holy Name. Give me oil in my lamp Oh Lord; keep me boiling for the rest of my life. Blessed be your Holy Name. Thank you Almighty God. In Jesus Mighty Name we have prayed – Amen!

… And so shall it be in Jesus Name.

DADDY GO PRAYS:

You will forever shine for Him. He will keep on refilling you. Your light will not go off. You will be Shinning until you see Him in Glory. In Jesus Mighty Name we have prayed – Amen!

Let me hear you shout a Shinning Hallelujah – HALLELUJAH!

Please be seated and let us remain in an Attitude of Worship. Let us pass our cups to the Aisles and then take an offering for the Lord to say Thank you to Him whose Body was broken for us and say Thank you to Him who shed His Blood for us.

And as soon as we take the offering, we should dance to the nearest, drop our offerings and then we celebrate one with another: Shaking hands and Rejoicing that we have been filled again.

Knowing that by the Grace of God, even before tomorrow morning (Friday, 5th of April 2019), we will be Shinning Brighter.

Over to you Band.

CLOSING PRAYERS

The Almighty God will accept your offerings. He will bless it, sanctify it and use it for His Glory.

And your pocket will never be empty. He will just keep on refilling you.

And as you go, He will go with you and even before you return tomorrow (Friday, 5th of April, 2019); you will have Testimonies.

So shall it be. In Jesus Mighty Name we have prayed – Amen!
