PREAMBLES AND ANNOUNCEMENT

Today, we will be talking on: LET THERE BE LIGHT – PART 5.

1. And just in case there is someone who is wondering why we are sitting down during Holy Ghost Service; well I want you to know that:

I. It is a “Very Special” one – It is a Lockdown Holy Ghost Service.

II. The 2nd one which is even more important is that: If you read Luke 5: 1-3; there the Bible tells us that when a crowd was Pressing on the Lord Jesus Christ; He borrowed the boat of Peter.

And after He has told him to push a little bit off the beach; the Bible said that He sat down to teach.

… So, the Lord sat down to teach the crowd too.

So, if we are to follow the Pattern of our Master one hundred percent (100%); we should be sitting down and you should be standing.

But you are allowed to sit down as long as you don’t query my own sitting down.

III. Of course the 3rd reason is that: Well, this is “Family to Family” Affairs. So, if you are sitting down; Relax!

We are sitting down so that we can all relax together.

However, be ready because I believed that the Almighty God is going to do some very “Great Things” in your Life today – Amen.

2. Next Month by the Grace of God; we will be speaking on: LET THERE BE LIGHT – PART 6.

We are Praying and Believing the Almighty God that we would have seen “Tremendous Changes” for the Better before then – Amen.

Now today; we want to look at JAMES 1:17;

“Every Good Gift and every Perfect Gift is from above, and cometh down from the Father of lights, with whom is no variableness, neither shadow of turning.”

The Light that comes directly from God is PURE WHITE LIGHT – No shadow of any type, no shade of any type.

… Pure White Light!

In Acts 22:6, 9:1-7; when Paul was reporting something that happened to him on the road to Damascus (and you know the Story).

That story is in Acts 9:1-7; when he was traveling to Damascus to go and arrest Christians because he was leading the Persecution.

A Light shone on him that knocked him down from his horse.

He described the light as something that was brighter than the Noon Day Light.

Because it was around Noon time that this Light came from God and it was so bright that it reduced the light of Noon Day Sun to nothing.

The Light that comes from God is Pure White Light.

And the crucial thing about the Light that comes from God is the PURITY – The Purity of the Light!

And “LET THERE BE LIGHT” therefore, could mean several things.

I’m going to touch just a few of them. And if God allows, may be in the future we could return to the Purity of Light and discuss it further.

But when you Pray and say God: Let There be Light, it could be:

1. God please give me PURE HEALING.

You say what do you mean by Pure Healing?

We are talking about – Healing Total, Healing Complete, Healing Comprehensive, Healing with no Sign that I was sick before.

For example, in Mark 8:22-25; the Bible tells us about a man that was brought to Jesus Christ – the man was born blind.

The Lord spat on his eyes and touched him. And asked him: What can you see? And he said – I can see men like trees.

Now, he can see, but his seeing was not Perfect; so the Lord touched him a second (2nd) time, and then he could see Perfectly.

“PURE HEALING” means healing with nothing left to show that I was sick before.

In John 9:1-7; the Bible tells us the story again, of another blind man – who was born blind.

And Jesus spat on the ground, made mud of the dust; anointed his eyes with the mud; told him to go and wash.

He went, he washed, he came back seeing with two (2) Brand New Eyes!

The Healing was such that (if you read the rest of the Chapter); People were arguing; is this the same man or is it somebody who just look like him

Let me Decree at this stage, that those of you who might be sick in any way; before this Program is over, may the Almighty God give you PURE HEALING – Amen!

Pure Healing (as we have seen in this example) could require a second (2nd) TOUCH from God. It could require a recreation – Giving you something Brand New.

Like in Romans 4:19; the Bible tells that the Womb of Sarah was already DEAD: so what Sarah got was a Brand New Womb.

And I believe that is a word for someone out there or reading now on the Label of DMC – That even if the Doctors have already said either that your womb is damaged or is too old to conceive. In the Name that is above every other names, you will get a Brand New one today – Amen!

In John 11:39-45; when Jesus brought Lazarus back from the dead; not only was he resurrected, the original sickness that killed him was taken care of, at the same time – he got a Pure Healing!

But maybe something that will illustrate it more clearly is to be found in 2 Kings 5:1-14.

And it tells us the story of Naaman, who was a leper (you know the story very well).

When he was ordered to go and bath in Jordan. The Bible says that as he was coming out the seventh (7th) time, he had skin like that of a Brand New Baby.

So when we are talking about “PURE HEALING”, we are talking about Healing that will not leave a SCAR behind!

You know wounds can heal, and the scar may remain. But when God gives you “Pure Healing”, there would be no scar left behind.

Let me remind you of the story you must have heard me tell before of a time when I travelled Abroad and I had just returned.

And one of my daughters came and said: Sir, my grandmother is old. She had a problem and we took her to the hospital. They operated on the Stomach. But maybe because of her old ages, the wound refuse to heal. And now when she eats, the food is coming out of the stomach.

Please Sir, I don’t mind if Grandma dies; but I don’t want her to die in a mess. Would you Pray that God would heal the wound? And then, if God wants to take her, she can go!

But since I couldn’t travel, I asked my daughter to bring an handkerchief; I Prayed over the handkerchief, she took the handkerchief to her grandma.

Because she was kept her in very special room – they could not kept her in the hospital because they could afford it and just waiting for the day when she will die.

She laid the handkerchief on Grandma, Prayed a simple Prayer, like I instructed her to do.

When she came back the following day; not only was Grandma healed, they couldn’t even find the spot where they operated on her!

… God gave her PURE HEALING.

I am calling on that God who does not Change, that everyone of you in need of Healing TODAY or anytime you are reading it on the DMC Label; you won’t get a Partial Healing, but will get Pure Healing, in Jesus’ Name – Amen!

2. Let there be Light could mean, God give me PURE LIFE – Vigorous Life, life Full of Vitality.

I don’t want to be managing to live, I don’t want to live as if I am half dead.

Well, you say: What has Light got to do with Pure Life?

Well, in Biology, we used to study something they call Photosynthesis. And it has a lot to do with Light having effect on Plants.

And I still remember, probably you too will remember – In those days, our Biology Teacher will give us what they call “Controlled Growing”.

They will sow corn in the open ground and sow corn covered with a pot on the same ground.

After some days when the corn sown in open ground has grown a bit, they will remove the pot from the other one. And you will discover that, that one too has grown.

But, the one that grew outside would be green and beautiful; the one that grew under the pot would be pale and sickly.

And the point was on the fact that the corn under the pot was sickly because it lacked Light!

I remember another Illustration that they gave us; they will put another Plant covered in a pot and they will drill a hole in the pot. The plant there would grow, and then it would find its way through the hole (drilled in the pot) searching for Light.

Because, Light has a lot to do with life – Healthy Life; Vigorous Life.

Scientists have proved that one of the reasons why old people surrender so easily to sickness, to virus; is because they are kept at home all the time – They are not exposed to Sunlight.

So when we say: Let there be Light, it means; God give me Pure Life, Vigorous Life, Life full of Vitality.

For example, Deuteronomy 34:7 tells us that at the age of one hundred and twenty (120) Years; Moses was still Vigorous, his eyes were sharp.

And from the description of Moses at the age of one hundred and twenty (120) Years old, he could still father a son.

Oh! You may say – That was not clearly stated (in the case of Moses).

Well, let me give you a surprise.

I’m not sure you paid attention to Genesis 24:1; it says: “And Abraham was old, and well stricken in age:”

That means he wasn’t just old, he was really old. And yet, he took a NEW WIFE (laughs) as recorded in Genesis 25:1.

I found that really interesting because when you look at Genesis 24:1-end; Isaac had married. Abraham was one hundred (100) Years old before he gave birth to Isaac. Isaac had matured, Isaac had married.

After that (laughs!) Papa Abraham said, I can still handle a wife.

That is what I mean by Life Full of Vitality, Full of Vigor.

In Joshua 14:6-13, the Bible tells us that Caleb said to Joshua; at the age of forty (40) Years old, you and I said, give us any mountain, and we would drive out the giants. Now I am eighty five (85) Years old, I am still as STRONG as ever,

I’m still ready to go to war, I’m still ready to take on giants – Give me this mountain.

You know it is written in Deuteronomy 33:25; God made a Promise, and that Promise is for you and it’s for me!

He says: And as thy days, so shall thy Strength be.”

In other words, the older you grow, the Stronger you should become.

I want to encourage ALL of you who are listening to me today and reading this on the DMC label; Stop managing to live. Semand vigour from the Almighty God – the Source of Life.

Pray that the Almighty God will renew your strength like the Eagle’s – Amen.

After all, in John 10:10; the Bible tells us that Jesus Christ came to give Life, and Life more abundantly.

Not just Abundantly, but even MORE Abundantly.

I have always led my Pastors in a Prayer Walk, during Ministers’ Conference. Particularly before the Convention.

And I will lead them on a Walk; just a little Walk – maybe about six (6) kilometers; at times, a little more.

And then at the end of the Walk, I will be sitting down, waiting for them to come. And I will be amused as I watch and I see some people who are maybe fifty (50) Years old coming in, panting:

And here I am, old enough to be their father; ready to teach for another two (2) to three (3) hours.

… Because some people are just satisfied with just managing to live.

From today onwards, cry to the Almighty God and say; I don’t want to manage to live – I want Life, Vigorous Life, Pure Life.

3. When you say Let there be Light, you could be calling on the Almighty God and say: Give me PURE WEALTH.

You know there is a Link between Light and Wealth.

You say, really? – SURE!

ALL the great Treasures in this world: Silver, Gold, Uranium, Crude Oil; they are all hidden inside the Ground.

That is why God said in Isaiah 45:3: “And I will give thee the treasures of darkness, and hidden riches of secret places,”

Treasures are in the dark – For you to get them you NEED LIGHT.

And what do we mean by PURE WEALTH?

Oh! we are talking about the kind of Wealth where you begin to say: Glory be to God, I have sufficient.

For example in 2 Kings 4:8-17; the Bible describes the Shunammite Woman as a Great Woman.

… And God does not use words carelessly.

You know the story very well: This was a woman, saw a Man of God Passing by, invited him to come and eat.

And the Man of God kept coming. And she went ahead and built for the Man of God an apartment.

And then one (1) day, the Man of God called her; woman, you have taken care of us so much. What is it, that we can do for you? Can we introduce you to the King or Commander of the Armed Forces?

She said, Sir, I don’t need more Contracts I have Sufficient.

I Pray in the Name that above every other names that: Very, very soon, you too will be able to lift your head high and say: In the Name of the Great Provider, I have Sufficient.

In 2 Kings 4:1-7; the Bible tells us again the story of woman (a widow). This was a woman so heavily in debt, the creditors wanted to sale her children.

… Because that was the only thing they would find in her home that was of any Value.

But God intervened; Light Shone – She suddenly saw that there is a small bottle of oil in her house.

She suddenly realized that she was surrounded by Poor People like herself, with many empty Vessels.

She suddenly realized that when the Man of God made a Pronouncement, Miracles could follow.

At the end of the day, the Bible said that she was debt free and she had enough to live on – herself, her sins; for the rest of their lives.

Now that is “PURE WEALTH” – When you get to a stage where you say, forever I will Thank God till I die; I have enough!

If you read Genesis 33:1-9; the Bible tells us of the story of the meeting of Esau and Jacob; after several Years. Jacob had Prospered mightily.

The Bible says, he had become exceedingly great.

But when he met Esau, and in other to bribe Esau, Probably so that Esau would not carry out his previous threat that he would kill him the day they meet again!

He had sent a lot of flock of goats, sheep, ahead to court his brother’s favour.

Esau said to him, after they had met, they had embraced.

Esau said: What is the meaning of all this drove (that’s what he called it) that you have sent before me?

Sir, it’s to see if I could use that to find favour with you.

He said, Ah! My brother, I have enough – Keep your own!

He said, my brother, take a look at me, I have four hundred (400) Bodyguards – God has Prospered me so mightily, that I need four hundred (400) Bodyguards to go with me wherever I go.

… Now, that is Pure Wealth!

If you read Genesis 26:12-14; when God was describing the Prosperity of Isaac – Oh! He wasn’t just talking about his gold, his silver, his flocks; the Bible said he had a Store of Servants.

He had servants so many, he was practically STORING them.

… Can you imagine that kind of Wealth?

You see, those who think that if you are a Christian, you should die Poor. They need to read their Bibles again – Our God is not a God of Poverty.

And in the Name of Jesus Christ, every form of Poverty in your life will come to an END – Amen!

I remember the case of one (1) of my Pastors.

I just want to say this one with all Humility – I want to Thank God for what He has done for me. There is nothing I can do now to stop my
Money from coming in.

I said, Sir; you will need to explain that to me.

He said: I have so many houses in Lagos and other Places, that whether those people like it or not, they have to Pay their rent. And I can’t ask them not to Pay their Rents.

He said: There is nothing I can do to stop money from coming in.

Oh! How I wish that will be your own Testimony – Amen for the DMC Family Members!

How I wish that the Almighty God who say if I declare anything in His Name, it will be established. How I wish here, this Decree going out from me right now concerning you would be established – Amen:

That one day, you too will be able to say: I want to Thank You God, because there is nothing I can do now to stop money from flowing in – AMEN!

4. Let there be Light could mean God give me PURE JOY.

… There is a LINK between Joy and Light.

Oh! We could give just a simple illustration that could make that one clear: Once upon a time, the People in Charge of Electricity in Nigeria used to be called NEPA;

I don’t know what their name is now – The name has been changing again and again.

When they took off Light (in those days) I was living in Mushin; you can hear the groaning of everybody – Oh, NEPA! Particularly if children were watching may be a Football Match or something.

When they return the Light, Ah! You will hear everybody shouting for Joy – There is Link between Light and JOY.

You want a Biblical support?

Esther 8:15-16; the Bible says the Jews had Light and Gladness and JOY.

When it said the Jews had Light, it is not talking about NEPA took off light and restored it.

It says God’s Light Shone on them – and what was their sorrow, was changed to Gladness and Joy.

And in Psalms 30; this one doesn’t even need a lot of explanation. It is written: “Weeping may endure for a Night, but Joy cometh in the morning.”

So you can see weeping is associated with darkness and Joy associated with Light (Morning).

In the Name that is above every other names, may your Joy be regained afresh – Amen!

Now, we are talking about Joy, because I’m thinking of Pure Joy.

I don’t know if I have told you before that:

JOY IS IN CATEGORIES –
I. There is Joy, and

II. There is Great Joy!

1 Chronicle 29:9; the Bible says the People rejoiced, but King David rejoiced with great Joy.

The people were rejoicing – so they had Joy; but the King had Great Joy – his Joy was Greater than that of his People.

III. And then in Mathew 2:1-11; the Bible tells us about the Wise men who came from the East.

If we are to believe Bible Scholars – These People who came looking for Jesus Christ, had travelled for two (2) Years.

And they Proved that by saying that when the King decided to kill children who were born he said they should kill children two (2) Years and under.

These People had been traveling for two (2) Years; finally they arrived, finally they saw that The Star they had been following was resting above a house.

Oh! The Bible said, they rejoiced with Exceeding Great Joy.

So there is Joy, and there is Great Joy; there is Exceeding Great Joy.

IV. But do you know that there is a Joy that is Purer than that?

In 1 Peter 1:3-8; the Bible talks about Joy Unspeakable and Full of Glory.

I Pray for everyone of you listening to me today or reading now on the Label of DMC that: That kind of Joy – Joy unspeakable, Joy full of Glory, will be your portion in Jesus’ Name – Amen!

I will also remind some of you, I’m sure you have heard it before; the story of a woman. We held a Congress, I think the Conference was held in Abeokuta or somewhere around Ogun State.

And after the Program, I was Praying for everybody.

And there was this woman who came – She was barren and she was sobbing.

So I Prayed for her, because she said she had been married a long time, and she was having problems with her In-laws.

The following Year, we were having the Congress somewhere else, not far from Ogun State. And the People came, lined up again for Ministrations.

And there was a woman there, when it was her turn, I said, Yes Madam, what can I do for you?

She looked at me, she opened her mouth and said JESUS.

I said, okay! we Thank God for Jesus. What can I do for you?

She opened her mouth a second time again and said JESUS!

And there were quite a lot of People on the line.

Yes, Thank God for Jesus, woman, what can I do for you?

The third time she opened her mouth and said JESUS.

And I was beginning to get a little bit impatient; Please, tell me, what can I do for you?

And then opened her mouth and said: I was the barren woman you Prayed for last year.

As I looked at her; on the right – She was carrying a Baby, on the left, she was carrying a Baby on the right.

Now, I could understand why she was so full of Joy she couldn’t Speak!

That is called Joy Unspeakable, Joy Full of Glory.

And may that be your Position from now on, in Jesus’ Name – Amen!

PROPHECY:

The Lord asked me to tell someone who is listening to me today or reading now on the Label of DMC: He says during the darkness of the lockdown, your Star will begin to Rise – Amen!

5. Let there be Light could be crying to God give me PURE PEACE.

I have spoken to you about Peace (not too long ago) about CATEGORIES OF PEACE.

Let me just remind you, to refresh your mind what Categories of Peace could be.

But what I didn’t tell you is that there is a LINK between Light and Peace.

In Isaiah 45:7, the Almighty God said; “I form the light, and create darkness: I make Peace, and create evil: I the LORD do all these things.”

Just take a look at that statement, He said: I formed Light, I created darkness, I formed Peace, I created evil.

So, Light and Peace go together; darkness and evil walk hand in hand.

There is a Link between Light and Peace.

Now, I told you that Peace can be in Categories:

I. There is Peace

II. There is Great Peace.

Psalms 119:165; the Word of God says: They that love Thy Law shall have Great Peace.

III. Then there is All-Round Peace.

1 Kings 4:24 says: Solomon had Peace all round.

IV. Then there is Peace like a River.

Isaiah 48:18 says: “The Almighty God says if only you obey Me, then your Peace will be like a River.”

V. But then, I told you about the Purest Peace.

And that is in Philippians 4:7 – The Peace that Passes all Understanding.

The kind of Peace that you will have and People will be wondering: How can you be at Peace in such a situation?

I have shared this Testimony before: The first time I had a Cruise – Some of my children said, we want you to rest. And the best way to rest get away from these People, go on a cruise;

And I’m telling you, I have said it before: If you really need a holiday, you want to really go on holiday – go on a Cruise!

They will feed you like nobody’s business. They seems to take Joy in over feeding you.

And since you are far in the ocean, nobody can come and visit.

And the first six (6) days of the Cruise was like Heaven on Earth.

Then the seventh (7th) day, storm came!

You don’t want to be on the ocean when there is something called storm.

The Ship we were in, I mean several stories high; it’s bigger than Sheraton Hotels. But when the storm came, the ocean will take this thing like a Toy, tossed it up, several stories high, and the drop it.

And everything was shaking right, left and centre. The cutleries, the plates, were flying about. It was terrible.

Things got so bad, the Captain called all of us together, and said: Well, Ladies and Gentlemen, don’t worry yourself; there are twelve (12) Categories of Storm at Sea.

Category one (1) is the smallest, category twelve (12) is the worse – We are only in category ten (10).

Ah (Laughs!) I said, God what am I doing here?

In my village the biggest river, a Trainee can jump over it.

What am I doing here, Category ten (10)?

So the Captain said, don’t worry, just go to your cabin!

So I said, God Almighty, what am I going to do now?

And He spoke!

… And the Almighty God will speak to those of you in a storm right now – Amen!

He said: Son, when I was here on Earth and there was a storm, what does the Bible say i was doing?

The Bible says: You were sleeping!

He said son, SLEEP!

Immediately, I jumped on my bed, and in minutes I was fast asleep.

By the time I woke up, we were already at Port; everything was Calm and Peaceful.

And anytime I tell the story, People would say: How can you sleep in such a situation?

What else could I have done – Jump into the Ocean? I didn’t even know how to swim!

But that is the kind of Peace – the Peace that Passes all Understanding!

People wonder how some of us could be cool with all that is going round in the world right now – Thank God for the Peace of God.

And I am saying to all of you: That kind of Peace will be your Portion from now on, in Jesus’ Name – Amen!

6. There is something called PURE SUCCESS.

… Another word for Pure Success is EXCELLENCE.

You see, when we talk about Good, Better, Best – We are comparing three (3) things.

For example if three (3) children return from school, and they Presented their Results to their Parents;

And the first one has a total Average of sixty percent (60%) – Oh, we say that is Good!

And the second shows his own, seventy percent (70%) – Oh, this is Better!

Another brought out his result, eighty percent (80%) – Ah, this is the Best!

… But none of them could be called Excellent.

Excellent means it can’t be better, Excellent means one hundred percent (100%).

… And There is a Link between Light and Excellence.

In Daniel 5:13-14;

PROPHECY:

Thank You Father! Daddy says that according to Genesis 1:1, every day begins in the evening. And the evening and the morning were the first day, etc.

And the Lord asked me to tell someone; in the evening of the Lockdown, your Day will START – Amen!

In Daniel 5:13-14; the King was speaking, and he said: I demand three (3) Things: Light, Understanding and Excellence.

There is a Link between Light and Excellence.

This Daniel that he was talking to, if you read Daniel 6:1-3; the Bible says the King Appointed one hundred and twenty (120) Princes to be Governor over each of the Provinces.

Then a Appointed Three (3) Princes to be Presidents.

You know in those days, it was the Kings that Appointed Presidents – Time has Changed!

And may I Pray for every Traditional Rulers in this Nation, that their Glorious days will come back again – Amen!

And so the King Appointed one hundred and twenty (120) Governors, three (3) Presidents – Among whom was Daniel.

But then amongst the three (3) Presidents, the King wanted to Appoint one (1) that will be Superior to the other two (2).

… And that fellow was Daniel, because the Bible says an Excellent Spirit was found in him.

1 Kings 4:30 tells us that the Wisdom of Solomon EXCELLED the wisdom of the Wise Men of the East and the Wisdom of every Egyptian Wise Men.

And I’m telling you, in those days, if you are looking for Wise men, you either look towards the East or you look towards Egypt.

I mean, when you consider the fact that the Egyptians built the Pyramids; and up till today, even Engineers have to rack their brains to say how did they do it?

Then you will know those People were wise in those days.

But the Wisdom of Solomon was greater than the Wisdom of the Egyptians, it was greater than the Wisdom of the People from the East.

For the Bible says Wise men from the East came to seek Jesus Christ.

The Wisdom was so Precious to them in the East that they were willing to travel for two (2) years just to seek the Author of Wisdom Himself.

But then when you consider Psalms 8:9, which says: “O LORD our Lord, how Excellent is thy Name in all the Earth!”

Referring to the Lord Jesus Christ, it says His Name excelled every one else.

When you link that one with Philippians 2:9-11, which says “Wherefore God also hath highly exalted him, and given him a Name which is above every names:”

You will understand the meaning of Excellence – To be above all, to be well, well above all others.

When you read Daniel 1:3-21; the Bible says when the Jews were taken into slavery to Babylon, then the King said; look among these Boys, search for those who …

If you read verse 4; “Children in whom was no blemish, but well favoured, and skilful in all wisdom, and cunning in knowledge, and understanding science, and such as had ability in them to stand in the King’s Palace, and whom they might teach the learning and the tongue of the Chaldeans.”

… Those of them who have no blemish, those who skillful in Wisdom, they must be all rounder, they must be DEEP in knowledge, in understanding in Science. – Those are the People I want you to select!

It was as if he asked his servants to conduct JAMB (Joint Admission Matriculation Board) – Use in Nigeria for Higher Institutions Exams and select the very, VERY BEST. and then TRAIN THEM.

The Bible says after they finished the Training, Daniel, Shadrach, Meshach and Abednego were ten (10) times better than the others – Ten (10) times BETTER!

But do you know that among the four (4) Daniel still excelled?

Read Daniel 2:16-23; you will see what happened when they were tested with all the other “Wise People” – A serious Test!

The King had a dream, he forgot his dream, he gathered all the Wise Men together and he said, you must tell me my dream which I have forgotten (laughs!).

And then give me the interpretations. If you don’t, you’re DEAD.

Daniel said give us time, let us go to the One who is the “Father of Lights, with whom is no Variableness, neither shadow of turning.” – Just give us time.

And the four (4) of them went into Prayer.

But who got the Answer?

It was Daniel.

… Among the four (4) he was still the “Excellent One”.

It is difficult to find a good illustration to give you on Excellence.

But I will give you a very Poor one, and to show you that: If you can cry to God to give you Light, from now on you will begin to Excel.

I told you before, way back in 1975, there was a World Conference of Applied Mathematicians in Canada. All over the world, Applied Mathematicians came.

And there were two (2) of us that went from Nigeria – Two (2) of us!

You can imagine how Young I was then. And of course, I was very Proud.

… Oh! Two (2) people representing my Nation, I must be somebody!

At that time, maybe I had probably Published (I can’t remember exactly) maybe about twelve (12) Learned Papers and Journals. But my head was in the clouds.

And we all gathered together, and then the man who was to give the Opening Address; when they began to introduce him (laughs!) he had Published one hundred and fifty (150) Papers.

… I said, oh Lord God Almighty, what am I doing here?

And he began to speak, and he began to talk about “The Mathematics of the Rain”.

By the time he finished, I Prayed: Almighty God, when it is my turn to Present my Papers, don’t let this man come (laughs!)

When the day came, when I was to Present my Paper; who was the fellow who was sitting in the front row?

I said, God have Mercy on me! But I had PRAYED all night; because it is not Presenting your Paper that is the Problem. It is the Questions and Answers that will follow.

How am I going to Answer the Question of this man? He was sitting right there in front. If he raises his hands that he wants to ask Questions, I can’t pretend that I have not seen him.

Then I Presented my Paper, and not a single Question was asked. And everybody stood up clapping, including that man!

Now, the point I’m trying to make is: It wasn’t what I said. What was it I said that these People didn’t know much more?

It was God who SHONE His Light, because I was probably the only one that Prayed.

When God SHINES his Light upon you, you will begin to EXCEL

I Pray for everyone of you my children, in particular; in the Name that is above every other names, you will not begin to Excel – Amen!

… Now, I’m sure you now see the advantage of my sitting down – so I can take as much time as I want.

7. I want to talk briefly about the THE BEAUTY OF PURITY.

PROPHECY:

Thank You Father! Thank You Almighty God – The Lord said I should tell someone whose hunger and thirst since this problem started was: Oh God, how I wish I have the Gift of Healings. Daddy asked me to tell you, your wish has been granted!

Pure Light is White in Colour – The kind of light that you see when the Welder is working.

You know the Welder has to shield his face when he is working, because of the Light coming from the instrument – White Pure Light!

But you know, if you have done a little bit of Science; if you Pass White Light through a Glass Prism, it breaks into seven (7) colours – Seven (7) Colours of the Rainbow – Red, Orange, Yellow, Green, Blue, Indigo and Violet.

Maybe one of these days, we will come and pick it up from there.

That inside White Light is Red, Orange, Yellow, Green, Blue, Indigo and Violet. And each colour stands for something significant. But that will be for another time!

The implications of this is that: ALL colours are the same when there is No LIGHT.

I mean, you are all in your room sitting wherever you are now. Some of you are wearing Yellow dress, some Green.

But if Light goes off, you are ALL wearing BLACK.

It is only when Light comes up that you begin to see this is Yellow, this is Green.

When there is No Light there is No Colour other than Black.

It means that: It takes LIGHT to bring out BEAUTY.

And you know what?

There is Beauty in you – Every Person has Beauty in him or her.

In 2 Corinthians 4:7, the Bible says: “But we have this Treasure in Earthen Vessels, that the Excellency of the Power may be of God, and not of us.

Your body is an Earthen Vessel. Inside this Earthen Vessel is Treasure. And until Light SHINES on you, your Beauty is Hidden.

… Let me give you may be one (1) or two (2) examples:

Take David for example in 1 Samuel 16:11 to End.

David was a Musician – He was very good Instrumentalist, in harp and so on and so forth. But he was singing only to animals.

Until one day, Light came into his father’s house and within a very short Period of time, the man who was singing for sheep and goats, was singing for the King – His Beauty came out!

I will take Esther 2:8-17.

Esther was a Beautiful girl, a beautiful slave.

And then there was crises in the Kingdom; and the Light SHONE on Esther. And the ordinary beautiful girl suddenly became the Beautiful Queen.

… Oh! Let me give you one more example in Genesis

Joseph; Genesis 41:1-44,

PROPHECY:

Thank You my Father and my God!

… And I hope everybody will take note of this one:

Because God is Speaking to Someone and He is saying: use this Period to draw closer to me. And I will soon show you how to be Unstoppable.

… Use this Period to Draw CLOSER to me. And I will soon show you how to be UNSTOPPABLE.

Genesis 41:1-44; gives us an example of Joseph.

Joseph had Excelled in Prison, in Portiphar’s house.

In Genesis 39:1-6; he was brought in as a slave to Portiphar’s house. He took over the household.

And in Genesis 39:20-23; he was thrown into Prison. He got into Prison, excelled there – He became the Controller of the Prison.

And then one day, Light SHONE.

And you know what?

It was because there was crises in the Kingdom: a King had two (2) dreams nobody to interpret the dreams.

And suddenly, somebody who had forgotten Joseph remembered him.

I Pray for someone here today or reading now on the Label of DMC; before this crises is over, those who could help you, will remember you – Amen!

And they brought Joseph out of Prison, and in less than twenty four (24) hours, a Prisoner became the Prime Minister of Egypt.

… When Light SHINES suddenly, Beauty becomes available; it becomes exposed!

So, when you say, Lord let there be Light; it could mean Lord, EXPOSE MY BEAUTY.

I tell you a Story: Years ago, a woman brought her son to the Church in Ebute Meta. The woman was a Christan. And the Boy was Original Rascal. I mean, as rascally as they come!

So in other to help, we handed over the Boy to a Soldier; a Soldier man in the Church then. So we handed this Boy over to the Soldier.

The Soldier I’m talking about is the first Person to play Guitar in the Church.

He had a Box Guitar (laughs!) And because he was a Soldier, so he could handle anybody. He handled the Boy very well.

And then one day, Mummy and I travelled to Kenya. Mummy saw a Flute and said, I think I better buy this Flute for that little Rascal now that he was with the Soldier man, who was already Teaching him how to play Box Guitar.

To cut a long story short, when the Light of God begins to shine on that Boy; who you would have thought can Never, NEVER amount to anything. God Produced for us the one we all know now as Pastor Kunle Ajayi.

In that Rascal, in that fellow that you won’t even want to have as a son; there is Beauty. But until LIGHT shone, the beauty was hidden.

Some years ago, there was a Conference of Pentecostals from all over the world; I think in Malaysia. And they gave me thirty (30) minutes to Preach.

I said: the thirty (30) minutes is mine?

They said Yes!

I can use it as I like?

They said Yes!

I said Thank you very much – The first five (5) minutes is for my Minstrel.

By the time he played for five (5) minutes; the Man in charge said – I now know why you travel round the world with him.

… Light SHONE, Beauty came!

I Pray that your Beauty that has been hidden Would become exposed as the Light of God Shines upon you today, in Jesus’ Name – Amen!

Now, let me conclude; we are talking about the Purity of Light; and Mathew 5:8 says: “Blessed are the PURE in heart, for they shall see God.”

Psalms 24:3-4 says: Who will ascend unto the Hill of the Lord?.Who is the one who is going to abide in His holy Place?

… He said: The one with CLEAN hands and PURE heart!

All these Beautiful Things that come from the PURITY OF LIGHT is available only for those who are PURE in heart; whose hands are CLEAN.

ALTAR CALL

And you can be one of them today, by going before the Almighty God: Kneeling down at Calvary, at the foot of the Cross and asking Him to make you Clean.

You know I just mentioned briefly; I said: The colour of White when it’s broken through the Prism would include RED, etc.

You know the colour starts with Red, and Red is the colour of Blood.

And it’s the Blood of Jesus Christ that cleanses from ALL sins.

Before you can begin to enter into the Benefits of Green, Blue, Yellow etc; you must pass through RED.

So I’m appealing to those of you who are listening to me or reading now on the Label of DMC and you have never given your lives to Jesus Christ. Before you Pray some Very Special Prayers that I’m going to ask you to Pray today:

Would you Please, even there in your Living Room, go on your knees now and cry to Jesus Christ to wash you clean with His Blood.

His Blood cleanses from ALL sins.

If the blood of Jesus Christ washes you, it will make you PURE, free from all sins.

So I’m going to give you just two (2) minutes to Please go on your knees now. I can’t see you, but God can see you. And cry to Him and say;

Lord, I’m surrendering my life to You today. Please wash me clean with Your Precious Blood. Forgive all the sins that I have ever committed. And I will serve you for the rest of my life.

And those of you who are in the same room with these People who are bowing down to Jesus Christ now, kindly Pray for them;

Pray that the One who saved your Soul would save their own Souls also. Pray that the One who can save to the Uttermost would give them “Genuine Salvation”.

Pray that the Almighty God will wipe away all their sins today, and receive them into the Family of God.

Pray for them now – Let us Pray for just one (1) more minute, and then I will join my Prayer with yours to ask for Salvation for all these People.

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

PRAYER FOR SALVATION

My Father and my God, I want to Bless Your Name for Your Words.

I want to Thank You especially for ALL THOSE who are surrendering their lives to You right now.

I Pray that You would remember Your Promise that whosoever will come unto You, You will in no wise cast out.

They have come to You Father, please receive them in Jesus’ Name.

Let Your Blood wash them clean.

And this very moment, give them “Genuine Salvation”, write their names in the “Book of Life”; receive them into the Family of God.

And from now on, ANY TIME they call on You, Please answer them by Fire.

And I Pray that they will not go back into a life of sin.

In Jesus’ Mighty Name we have Prayed – Amen!

Praise the Lord – Hallelujah!
