OPENING PRAYER

Father Almighty, my Father and my God; in a very Special way, let your Children have an Encounter with You today.

Let this Month be the best they have spent thus far in life.

In Jesus’ Mighty Name we have Prayed – Amen!

Let somebody shout Hallelujah – Hallelujah!

Go ahead and shake hands with one (1) or two (2) people and tell them: “God will Visit you today”

… And then you may please be seated.

BIBLE TEXT: JOHN 6: 5-13

While you are opening your Bibles, let me use this opportunity to assure you once again: In the Mighty Name of Jesus Christ, NO VIRUS will near you – Amen!

Please, do not panic, the God who defeated EBOLA is still on His Throne and He will take care of you – Amen.

… I say it one more time: HE WILL TAKE CARE OF YOU – AMEN!!!!

JOHN 6: 5-13;

5 When Jesus then lifted up his eyes, and saw a great company come unto him, he saith unto Philip, Whence shall we buy bread, that these may eat?

6 And this he said to prove him: for he himself knew what he would do.

7 Philip answered him, Two hundred pennyworth of bread is not sufficient for them, that every one of them may take a little.

8 One of his disciples, Andrew, Simon Peter’s brother, saith unto him,

9 There is a lad here, which hath five barley loaves, and two small fishes: but what are they among so many?

10 And Jesus said, Make the men sit down. Now there was much grass in the place. So the men sat down, in number about five thousand.

11 And Jesus took the loaves; and when he had given thanks, he distributed to the disciples, and the disciples to them that were set down; and likewise of the fishes as much as they would.

12 When they were filled, he said unto his disciples, Gather up the fragments that remain, that nothing be lost.

13 Therefore they gathered them together, and filled twelve baskets with the fragments of the five barley loaves, which remained over and above unto them that had eaten.

Beginning from today, you will always have MORE THAN ENOUGH – AMEN!

This Story is one of the most interesting stories you will ever read in the Bible.

When I read the story after I became a Christian, and my Mathematical mind tried to analyse the story; I saw several strange things there:

1. The Bible stated clearly in verse 6 there – Jesus Himself KNEW what He will do.
2. How did they discover that in that crowd there was a boy with five (5) loaves of bread?
3. Did they locate the boy? Or the boy came forward?
4. How did the boy know that Jesus had a need?

Because there were no microphones; there were no announcements made.

They didn’t announce to say: “Is there anyone here with food?

1. What made the small boy willing to surrender his lunch?
2. How come that after five thousand (5,000) had eaten from the lunch of a boy, there were still twelve (12) baskets left over (Laughs)?
3. Where did they take the extra twelve (12) baskets?

I asked my children when they were little, that particular question. And one of them said: one (1) of the Apostles had a basket to himself – because there were twelve (12) Apostles.

And I said: “You must be kidding”; the Apostles were not the ones who produced the bread.

If there is any extra bread, it must have gone to the house of the boy who gave the bread.

When you look at all these questions, it points to one singular point;

And today, as you know very well, our Theme for this Month is: “LET THERE BE LIGHT – Part 3.

The LIGHT of God is going to SHINE on someone here – Amen!

Who is that fellow, by the way? – THE DMC FAMILY MEMBERS!

… Are you sure? Well, we will find out before we finish.

When the Light of God Shines on you, certain things happen IMMEDIATELY:

1.You will come out of Obscurity;

That Boy came out of obscurity that day, because the Light of God shone on him.

1 Samuel 2:7-8; tells us that the Almighty God can pick a beggar from the dunghill and begin to promote him, until he begins to sit with kings.

The Almighty God who has called me is going to promote somebody here today – Amen!

2. When the Light of God Shines on you, you will begin to OUTSHINE all others.

There were thousands of people gathered there; one (1) boy OUTSHONE them all.

In Deuteronomy 28:11-13; the Bible tells us that when the Almighty God decides to Shine His Light upon you, you will become HEAD and not tail; you will be ABOVE and never beneath.

… That will be the portion of someone here today – Amen!

3. When the Light of God Shines on you, you will have an EVERLASTING BREAKTHROUGH.

What do we mean by an Everlasting Breakthrough?

Look at that Boy, we’re still talking about him TODAY.

The Story we’re reading here happened more than two thousand (2,000) years ago.

I decree in the Name that’s above every other name; that if Jesus tarries, more than a hundred (100) years from now, people will still be talking about you – Amen!

Now this boy was Very Special, and what I can see in this story was that – God Deliberately SET him UP!

Before the boy left home, God told him: “Take your lunch!”. While the crowd gathered, without any Announcement, this boy came forward. They didn’t locate him!

He came forward with his lunch saying: “I have something that I want to give to Jesus”.

… It was all a SET UP!

Like in the story of Solomon in 2 Chronicles 1:6-15; Solomon offered a thousand Burnt Offering to God; nobody had ever done that before.

As a result, God paid him a visit; and promised him that he will be a king – that there has been none like him (before him) and none like him (after him).

What led to Solomon giving a Thousand burnt Offering? WHY? Because God wanted him to do what no one had done before;

… So He can Bless him like He had never blessed any one before.

God SET Him UP! HOW DO I KNOW?

In 2 Samuel 12:24-25, the Bible says clearly: when Solomon was born, God LOVED him!

Whenever suddenly you begin to feel a strange generosity within you; something saying “DO something nobody has ever done before;”

… God is merely SETTING you UP.

you give a boy a piece of cake – you’re the one who gave him a piece of cake. Five (5) minutes later, you say: “Give me part of the cake.”

What does he do? He puts his hand behind his back – “you can’t have my cake” (as if he’s so tall you can’t see what’s going on behind him).

… But this boy (in our story) was not asked; he came forward, he VOLUNTEERED!

The BIGGEST POINT in this story, which I want you to take note of;

… Because I said “God is going to do something Special for someone, and you said it is you!”

The Biggest Point in this story is that: When the Light of God SHINES on you, you will suddenly discover that: “The secret of UNCOMMON PROSPERITY is UNCOMMON SACRIFICE.”

In Proverbs 11:24-25; the Bible says, “there is he that scattereth and yet increases and there is someone that withhold more than it meets but it tends to poverty.”

During our morning devotion in my family some days ago, I shared with my children that “the Tree does not eat its own food;”

You will never see a Mango tree eating Mango or an Orange tree drinking Orange.

… The Tree produces fruits for others to eat!

And that is why the tree is preserved. The day a tree stops producing fruits, it is on its way to destruction.

In John 15:1-2; the tree that is not going to bear fruit is cut off! The tree that is bearing fruit is purged, so that it can produce MORE fruits.

You are not going to become really blessed until you have made up your mind to be a blessing.

In Genesis 12:1-3, God said to Abraham: “I am going to bless you because you are going to be a blessing.”

… A BLESSING! Through you the whole Earth shall be blessed.

No one can come out of Poverty if he is not willing to be a Blessing FIRST – No one!

In 1 Kings 17:8-16; the widow of Zarephath had only one meal left; she was willing to make a sacrificial giving – she did!

… And she never knew hunger again!

She sacrificed all she had and her last became her first!

The secret of Uncommon Breakthrough, the secret of Uncommon Success, the secret of Everlasting Prosperity is: SACRIFICE!

… Not Stealing, not Fraud, not Manipulating the Accounts.

And when God prompts you to do something sacrificial, Rejoice!

I will remind you of a Story I have told you several times before, and some of you may never have heard it:

In 1985, I wanted to move from Mushin (A City in Lagos State, Nigeria) to the Redemption Camp, to come and live in my little house here. But I needed five hundred Naira (#500) urgently to put mosquito nets across the windows.

… Oh! You should see the house then!

We were not talking about real windows now – there was burglary proof, there was door. But I needed Mosquito netting for the house. And I needed five hundred Naira (#500) to make sure I came move in.

On Saturday, we were here (in Camp) for School of Disciples Meeting; the people who gathered then, they probably would have been more than five hundred (500).

If I had announced to them that I needed five hundred (#500) they would have contributed one Naira (#1) each, and I will have the money.

But since the Lord called me, we reached an agreement: “I will not BEG.”

The following day (Sunday) after Service, a lady came to me with an envelope:

“I have been saving some money to travel Abroad; but this morning, God told me to go and give you the envelope.”

God told you? You heard from God?

She said: “I know the devil cannot tell me to go and give an envelope to the Pastor.”

I took the envelope from her; I Prayed for her, she left! I opened the envelope – five hundred Naira (#500)!

And from that moment of course; every Sunday (in Church) I will go out to see whether my little friend has come to Church.

And then God moved: five hundred Naira (#500) was not enough to buy a ticket to go abroad!

And this girl had a friend in school; one day the parent of the friend came to meet the parent of my little friend, saying:

“Please Sir, we are asking for Permission to take your daughter Abroad on holiday”.

We want to go on Summer Holiday; our daughter says she won’t go with us unless we take your daughter along.

We will buy the Tickets, we will take care of her over there, we will do everything!

So I just discovered that for sometime I didn’t see my little friend.

Then one day I saw her coming; well dressed – like someone would dress, who has been to Britain – “All Expenses Paid!”

She gave me five hundred Naira (#500); what God gave her was much more than that amount.

… God gave her the DESIRES of her heart!

God set that Girl up: How did she know I needed something? – God put it in her heart!

How was she willing to surrender ALL her Savings? – God put it in her heart!

When the Light of God Shines on you, you will suddenly become UNCOMMONLY GENEROUS.

May the Light of God SHINE upon you today – Amen!

Let me conclude, before you Pray; because I’m sure by now you are ready to Pray and said – “Oh God, Let Your Light Shine on me.”

Two (2) more IMPORTANT POINTS:

POINT NO. 1: The Boy’s name is not mentioned.

“There is a Boy here: a Lad here.” And yet, you don’t know the name of the Boy!

… When we get to Heaven, he will introduce himself.

His name is not mentioned because God wants you to put your name there, and say: MOSES DURODOLA /TITILAYOMI AJAYI is here!

Whenever somebody has done something extraordinary, his name might not be mentioned here on Earth but the name is in the Book of Life in Heaven.

They may not name a Street after you; they may not build a building and call it after you – but when the Light of God SHINES upon you; your name is written in the Book of Life for Everlasting Remembrance.

That’s Point No. 1 – you can put your name there: “I am the Light, I am that fellow that the Light of God SHINES upon.”

POINT NO. 2: Before you say: “Lord Shine Your Light on me” remember that when Light Shines, it EXPOSE ALL the evil practices that you have been doing.

… Unless you are willing to stop them straight away!

In 2 Kings 5:20-27; the Light of God shone on Gehazi – a Liar, a Cheat, a Thief. Because he wanted financial breakthrough.

… When the Light of God SHONE on him, he was exposed!

Oh, yes! He got the money; but did he spend it?

Listen to me my beloved children: “The blessings of the Lord makes rich and added no? – Sorrows!

You want the Almighty God to Shine His Light on you and bring you out of Obscurity to Prominence?

You want the Light of God to Shine on you so that you can be Above and not beneath?

You want the Light of God to Shine upon you, so you have an Everlasting Breakthrough?

You MUST STOP doing things the way the world does it. You MUST TAKE your hands OFF every Corrupt Practices.

… Because my God is a Holy God!

When He Prospers, He Prospers in a Holy way; and His blessings will last for ever!

ALTAR CALL

Which brings me to those of us who are yet to surrender our lives; if you come to Him this morning, His Blood will wash away all your sins and He will give you a Brand New Beginning.

Before I say ten (10) come and stand before me and I will Pray for your Salvation.

… Am counting now!

When God is the One who Prospers you, He will give you the Joy, the Peace of mind, the Health that will enable you to enjoy it!

If you give your life to Jesus, nobody will kill you. But if you continue in sin you will die.

… Because the wages of sin is death!

If you want to remain alive and well, surrender your life to Jesus Christ!

You give your life to Jesus Christ, nobody will be able to kill you. So surrender your life to Him: He will Protect you, He will take care of you!

Hurry up, those of you who are coming.

Thank You Father!

Now those of you who are in front, talk to the Almighty God: Ask Him to please save your Soul; ask Him to have Mercy on you; ask Him to forgive all your sins;

Once your sins are gone you will have a Brand New Beginning; once your sins are gone, you will join the Family of God; once you are in the Family of God, everything will become Brand New.

The enemies won’t be able to come near you and all will be well.

… So cry to God to please save your Soul!

The rest of us, please stretch your hands towards these people and intercede for them that the One who had saved your Soul would save their own Souls also. Pray for them for one (1) minute.

Anyone else still coming? Hurry up now, because we want to Pray.

Thank You Lord; in Jesus’ Mighty Name we have Prayed – Amen!

PRAYER FOR SALVATION

Saviour, I just want to say THANK YOU: Thank You for Your Words, Thank You for those who have come forward to surrender their lives to You today. Please Lord, accept our THANKS in Jesus’ Name!

Lord, am Praying that You will save the Souls of these Your children, You will forgive all their sins, You will wash them clean with Your Blood;

I Pray that You will receive them into the Family of God. And I Pray that anytime they cry unto You, You will answer them by FIRE!

In Jesus’ Mighty Name we have Prayed – Amen!

Now those of you who have come forward, I want to rejoice with you; I want to Promise you that from now on by the Grace of God; I will be Praying for you .

So if you turn to your left, you will see a man there who will lead you to where some Pastors are waiting, they will collect the information I need, and then bring you back very quickly.

God Bless you! You can begin to go now.

Thank You Father – Amen!

THANKSGIVING

Now this morning we are going to give our Normal Offering; but I want you to listen to Him – there might be something He wants you to do, that will lead you to an Everlasting Breakthrough.

It might not be now, it might be later. Listen to Him; because when the Light of God Shines upon you, He will tell you to do something for Him.

… I am sure of that!

In the meantime, take your Offering, stand on your feet, lift your voice loud and clear and say:

Father, let Your Light shine upon me and give me an Everlasting Breakthrough.

Go ahead, talk to the Almighty God: Father, let Your Light Shine upon me today and give me an Everlasting Breakthrough; and bring me out of Obscurity – let me begin to Shine even among the Multitudes.

Father, let Your Light Shine upon me today so that Your Name might be Glorified in my life forever.

Thank You Father! In Jesus’ Mighty Name we have Prayed – Amen!

And so with Joy in your heart, go to the nearest basket: Singing, Dancing, Rejoicing – because you are the one God is going to Shine His Light upon.

… Over to you Band!
