Eternal Rock of Ages, we want to Worship You once again.

Thank You for Your Goodness; Thank You for Your Mercy; Thank You for the Salvation of our Souls and Thank You for bringing us to the end of this Month (The Month of May, 2020); Father Please accept our Worship in Jesus Name.

Eternal Rock of Ages, we are here again trusting You for a Divine Visitation; Please all over the world where all Your children are tuning in right now or reading on the label of DMC; let there be a very Specific Divine Impartation in Jesus Name.

Let all their Needs be met and as Your Words will be going forth Lord; I Pray that the Power that is in Your Words will Perform Healings, Deliverance, Miracles, Signs and Wonders in the lives of all Your children.

Let Souls be saved today and let Your Name be Glorified.

In Jesus Mighty Name we have Prayed – Amen!

Let someone shout Hallelujah – Hallelujah!

We will be taking a look at Romans 8:28.

BIBLE TEXT: ROMANS 8:28

“And we know that all things work together for Good to them that love God, to them who are called according to His Purpose.”

There is nothing that happens in the life of a child of God that is not going to lead to Testimony.

As a matter of fact, someone says Testimony is the baby of a Testimony; that Miracles are babies of Impossibilities!

… All things work together for Good to them that love God including afflictions according to Psalms 119:71.

David said it is Good for me that I was afflicted. He said that I might learn Your Laws.

And the bigger the Problem, the Greater the Testimony according to John 11: 39-45.

I wasn’t there but I could imagine the shout of Joy when Lazarus who has been dead and buried for four (4) days came jumping out of the grave.

… The bigger the Problem, the Greater the Testimony!

By the Grace of God, in The Redeemed Christian Church of God we are used to Miracles – So many that at times I have had to warn us not to begin to take these things for granted.

When someone stands up and says: Oh, Glory be to God – We have been barren for fifteen (15) Years now this is my child.

You People will say: Please sit down.

You can listen to the audio here: Working Together For Good

Why? – Because we have heard of someone who has been barren for almost thirty (30) Years and is now saying behold my twins or behold my triplet.

.. The bigger the Problem, the bigger or greater the Testimony.

And so, I have Good News for someone here today or someone listening to me today or reading on the Label of DMC; that “Big Problem” in your life will soon result into a very “Big Testimony” – Amen!

Do you know that according to Mark 10: 46-52; that the name of Bartimaeus will never have entered into the Bible if he wasn’t born blind – Nobody would have heard about him. Bartimaeus so what?

But Bartimaeus the son Timaeus who was blind from birth sat by the Highway begging when Jesus Christ was Passing by and then his eyes were opened.

… We are still talking about him today.

Do you know that Peter came in contact with his Destiny in Luke 5:1-11 after an All-Night failure.

If he has caught some fish by the time Jesus Christ came to the Seaside, he would have gone home to go and take care of the fish or sell.

But he fished All-Night, caught nothing – He was a “Total Failure” and he was reluctant to go home.

Like one Pastor said because he was afraid of facing the Mother In-Law who was at home.

… Well, what am I going to say I have brought home from all my labour?

So, he was reluctantly waiting by the beach – That was where Jesus Christ met him and that was where he came in contact with his Destiny.

All things work together for Good including Lockdown

Oh, you said: Where is that in the Bible?

I will show you in a moment.

A lot of Great Things are going to come out of this Lockdown – Amen!

Let me advise those of you who are Pastors: You are resting now and I’m busy. Get ready because early Next Year; you will be having a lot of babies naming ceremonies. You will be going from House to House naming new born babies as a result of the Lockdown.

Let us give you some examples from the Scriptures of those who became Great as a result of Lockdown:

1. Let me start with David.

1 Samuel 22: 1-2 tells us that David was Lockdown in a Cave called Adullam because he was running away from his father’s In-Law who was trying to kill him.

And then a lot of what you will call “Riff Raffs” – Those who are in trouble, dirty, those whose lives look hopeless; gathered themselves together to him.

In that Cave, there were about four hundred (400) of them and he became Captain over them.

During the Period that they were in the Cave; these so-called “Hopeless Men” were transformed.

By the time you will read 2 Samuel 23: 8-39; these same People became David’s Mighty Men – Take Note as the Bible does not use any word carelessly.

… It called these Men – Mighty!

As a matter of fact; if you read that in 2 Samuel 23: 8-39; you will find out something there – On one occasion, David said: How I wish I can go out of this Lockdown. There is a particular Well far away which I will love to drink its water. How I wish I can get that “Fresh Water” to drink?

The Bible said three (3) of these Mighty Men broke through the whole Host of the Philistines; got the water and brought it back to David – That is to show you how Mighty they were.

They created a Path through a whole Army – Going and Coming!

… They were Mighty during Lockdown.

I Pray for those of you who are listening to me or reading on the Label of DMC; by the time the Lockdown is over, you will be Mighty – Amen.

2. Well let me give you another example – Elijah in 1 Kings 17: 17-24.

Elijah was Lockdown in the house of the widow of Zarephath.

Why? – Because a King has mobilised his entire Arny to look for him so that they could kill him. So, he couldn’t go out of the Widow’s house.

And while he was there Lockdown; he became the first (1st) Prophet ever to raise the dead.

… When he was Lockdown, he grew Spiritually to become so Mighty Giant (First (1st) ever Prophet to raise the dead).

I’m believing God for my children that by the time this Lockdown is over; you will be raising the dead – Amen.

3. Let me give you one more example – A young man called Joseph.

When you read Genesis 40: 1-22; you will find this Young Man – We all know that when we talk about Joseph, if you ask any of the young children who is Joseph? – Oh, The Dreamer.

It was while he was in Prison – Lockdown in the King’s Prison where Prisoners don’t somehow come out; that is when he moved from being a Dreamer to an Interpreter of Dreams – He grew Spiritually.

It is one thing to be able to dream – everybody dream one kind of dream or the other.

It is not everybody however who can interpret dreams correctly and accurately.

As a result of which by the time you get to Genesis 41: 1-44; as he was coming out of that Lockdown; he shut straight to the Position of Prime Minister of the Most Powerful Nation in the world as at that time.

Oh, in the Name that is above every other names; when this Lockdown is over; your Promotion will be accelerated – Amen.

SO, WHAT DO YOU DO DURING LOCKDOWN IF THE LOCKDOWN IS NOT GOING TO BE A WASTE? – What do you do so that you can Grow Spiritually?

1. REJOICE.

This is the “Time to Rejoice”.

Philippians 4:4 says: “Rejoice and again I say unto you Rejoice”.

Do you know that Paul wrote that letter from the Prison?

In 1 Thessalonians 5:16 (another letter he wrote from Prison); he said: “Rejoice evermore”.

Someone said how could Paul be writing that kind of letter from the Prison?

Because he knew that is the only Way he could survive.

Remember when he was in Prison with Silas; at midnight the Bible said they were Praying and Singing Praises.

… You are in Lockdown – REJOICE!

But sir; how can I Rejoice at a time like this?

Because your tomorrow will be alright – Amen.

2. Don’t just Rejoice; Praise God

Because in 1 Thessalonians 5:18; you are advised to just keep on Praising God.

… It says: In all things; Give Thanks!

In all things including in Lockdown.

3. Pray!

There has never been a Greater opportunity in your life than now to Pray.

1 Thessalonians 5:17 says: Pray Without Ceasing

I’m sure you remembered that many at times when you said I want to spend some times in Prayers.

Oh, by the time you have been on your knees for thirty (30) Minutes; the devil will begin to remind you of: Oh that fellow you want to visit, oh that thing you need to do very quickly

But now you are not going anywhere.

So, if he says: What of this fellow you want to visit? You will say you will visit later when the Lockdown is over.

… Pray Without Ceasing!

4. Study!

2 Timothy 2:15 says: Study to show yourself approved unto God.

You know, a friend of mine says during this Lockdown; he has been enjoying “The Open Heavens” Manual beginning from the Year 2000 till now.

And he said sir, I made a discovery. I said what is the discovery?

He said not a Single Topic has ever been repeated!

And he said many of the things that he read then that he thought he had known, he is discovering anew.

… Plenty of time!

You are not going anywhere; pick any of the Open Heavens of the Past – The one for this Year is for daily something; the ones of the Past contains so much information you will be amazed – STUDY!

5. Meditate!

In Joshua 1:8; God told Joshua – You want to Prosper; you want to have “Good Success”; He says: This Book of the Law will not depart from your mouth; you will Meditate on it Day and Night.

… Meditate, Think on what you have studied – Think and Meditate!

6. This will be interesting to you – Receive Visions for your Future!

Visions usually come when you are Lockdown!

You said Prove that!

Well all you need to do is to read the Book of Revelations: John the Beloved was Lockdown on the Highland of Patmos (Revelation 1:9)

That was where he began to receive all manners of Revelations concerning “The End Time” of the Age.

And you know what Joel 2:28 says: In the latter days when God pours out His Spirits upon all flesh; our sons, our daughters will be seeing Visions and the Old Men will be dreaming dreams.

And Proverbs 29:18 says: Where there is No Vision, the People Perished.

This is the time to sit down and say: God what do you have for me in the Future? – Reveal it to me

God Speaks only to People who are not in hurry to leave His Presence.

Because the reason many of us don’t hear from God is because we are in a hurry – We Praise Him for a while and all of a sudden we say see you again in the evening.

…. But this time; we can spend a whole Day!

I was asking a friend of mine not too long ago: How is so and so?

He said he wanted to spend a whole week just sitting quietly before God to receive directions for the Future.

… I said what a beauty!

7. After you have received Visions from God; then you Plan what Next to do as soon as the Lockdown is over.

… Plan towards actualising the Vision!

Of course when you finished the Planning; you hand it over to Him.

Psalms 37:5 says: If you commit your Ways unto the Lord and Trust also in Him; He will bring it to Past!

8. This might sound to you to be Physical and not Spiritual – And that is Clean Up your House and Immediate Surroundings.

And may I advise you: Even today that you turn over your mattress and you will be amazed by the amount of things that has gathered under your bed – Just do it now and you will be amazed that there is a lot of “Cleaning Up”.

You know Deuteronomy 22:14 says: The Lord walks about in your Camp to deliver. It says: Make sure your Camp is Clean so that He won’t see anything unclean that will cause Him to forsake you and say this Place is too dirty I can’t walk in here.

… Clean Up your surrounding: Your House, your Bedroom, your Sitting Room, your Toilet.

Clean Up everything, remove every little dust – You have time to do it.

9. When you are doing the Cleaning Up; you will be amazed at how many things that you have in the house that you don’t need.

You will be surprised how many clothes, shoes, pens, big things, little things that has been in the house for somewhat up to five (5) Years that you have never touched.

So, what do I do with them? – Give them out. Lighten your house.

Why? – Because the waters in a River is always fresh and you know why? It is always Flowing.

What is Old flows away so that fresh ones can flow in.

But that is not even the main reason why you should move these things according to 2 Chronicles 9: 11-12 – Those things that you are Piling Up in your houses that you are not using, when you give them out; there are People who are in Need of them who will Praise God on your behalf.

… It says: That it will cause Thanksgiving to God!

Because there are shoes that you have not worn for five (5) Years – Give them out; Clothes you have not worn for five (5) Years – Give them out.

The People who you are giving them to will be extremely Grateful and they will be Thanking God on your behalf!

Let us take one (1) more.

I know that this is a sermon but sermons during Lockdown has become Bible Study.

10. Pray for me (Pastor E.A Adeboye and by extension your Pastors and Leaders)

Because the Bible ask us to Pray for our Leaders.

They Need Prayers – You consider them that they are not ordinary Human Beings.

Oh, the General Overseer is an Angel – People even think he doesn’t eat at all.

Some even said: Don’t you know his name is Enoch? – It is the “Original Enoch” that came back and he doesn’t eat.

I eat – If you don’t believed me; invite me to your house. Get someone from Ijeshaland (A town in Osun State in Nigeria whose People are noted to like eating Pounded Yam) to come and pound yam for you and put in all manners of combinations into the soup and you will see Mountain becoming a Valley in your Sitting Room.

Praise God for us Pastors because Paul said in 1 Thessalonians 5:25 – He said: Brethren, Pray for us!

He repeated it again in 2 Thessalonians 3:1 – Brethren, Pray for us that the Word of the Lord may have free course and God may be Glorified.

Pray for us: Pray for your Pastors; Pray for your Leaders – They need your Prayers!

Let me conclude: The Bible Text we read says: All things work together for Good.

But it didn’t say: All things work together for Good for everybody – You need to take note of that.

… All things work together for Good for those who love God!

Oh, the Lockdown is going to bring Miracles, Signs and Wonders to those who love God but not everybody.

Why? – Because Proverbs 8:17; the Word of God says it clearly: Love is a Two-Way Traffic!

God says: I Love them that Love Me – Proverbs 8:17 and they that seek me early shall find me.

During Lockdown, it is a Time this seek God.

But He says: I will Love those who loves Me!

Then, He went on to say in the same Proverbs 8: 35-36 – He says: If you find Me, you will find Life.

He said: But if you sin against Me, it means you hate your own Soul – If you are a sinner, you are not seeking God; it said you hate your own Souls because those who hate Me love death.

I told you much earlier; I said that the Lord said very clearly, He said: Son don’t be bothered about those who will die during this virus something. He said only those whose Time has come will die.

Aren’t you amazed with the number of People who has been released compared to the number who died?

Check all over the world: Those who have died, you will find out that the number is less than ten percent (10%) of those who has been healed.

Oh, so many People are dying: If you will just do a “Scientific Study”; if you will just check by Research; you will find out that the number of People who has died as a result of this coronavirus is far, far less than those who has died say by accident or by other means.

God just wanted to Prove Himself as the Almighty – That He can Lockdown down the whole world.

IMPERATIVE RESEARCH ANALYSIS BY DMC MEDIA TEAM AND HER MEDIA FRIENDS!

ALTAR CALL

Which is why I’m appealing to those of you who are out there – Listening to me or reading on the Label of DMC; who has not given their lives to Jesus Christ – Love yourself by loving God; Love yourself by seeking Him.

If you find Him, you find Life and if you hate Him, it means that you love death.

And I’m talking particularly to those of you who think that you are “BIG” – Where is your Bigness now?

You think you are Mighty? – Where is your Mightiness now?

The Almighty God said: Sit down at home!

What is the difference now between Chief Executive Officer (CEO) and Messenger? – When the Almighty God said: All of you I Lockdown

What is the difference between the one who owns so much money that he can buy a whole City and the one who could hardly find enough to eat? – We are Lockdown together.

Why don’t you surrender to the One who is Mightier than you.

Please, Love your own Self, Love your Soul, Surrender your Life to Jesus Christ.

There is a Popular Saying that if you can’t beat them, join them.

… You can’t beat God, join Him today!

So, those of you who wants to surrender your Life to Jesus Christ; will you Please bow your head now and Call on Him now that Lord, I surrender – You are my Maker anyway; you are Greater than I.

I’m not struggling with you anyway – Please, save my Soul today and He will do so.

And the rest of us who are already saved; let us intercede on behalf of all our brothers and sisters all over the world who are surrendering to Jesus Christ now.

Let us Call on the Almighty God on their behalf and say: Father, Please receive them, save their Souls and just forgive all their sins – Give them a Brand New Beginning Lord, have Mercy on them.

In Jesus Mighty Name we have Prayed – Amen.

PRAYER OF SALVATION AND CLOSING PRAYER

So, my Father and my God; once again I want to say Thank You for Your Words.

Thank You so much for those who has decided at last to surrender their lives to You.
