OPENING PRAYER
Our Father and our God, the King of Kings and the Lord of Lords, the God of the First (1st) Convention to the Sixty Eighth (68th) Convention.
We Thank You because ever since, you have been adding to Your Church, You have been saving Souls, Healing the sick, Blessing the Poor, Delivering the Oppressed.
We are so Grateful to You that You have kept Your Church Moving on, Marching on – The Gates of Hell has not been able to Prevail against your Church.
Thank You for all our Pastors right from the General Overseer to the least in Hierarchy – We are so Grateful.
Thank You for the women in the Redeemed Christian Church of God (RCCG).
Thank You for the unmarried, thank You for the married.
We are Grateful. Please, accept our Thanks and Praises in the Name of Jesus.
We want to say Thank You for giving us another opportunity even to come together Online even if we cannot be one on one together, yet Lord You still gave us an opportunity for us to meet Online and so Father we say thank You.
This morning, the Women Conference for the Convention 2020, we ask Lord that You yourself, You will breathe upon us.
In all our homes where we are, breathe upon us. Wherever we are listening to this Message breathe upon us. Even reading this on the Label of DMC, breathe upon us.
Don’t let this Convention titled Wonderful, don’t let it leave us without Performing Your Wonders in our lives.
Father, we now say Jehovah, I release myself to You as a Vessel of Honour in Your Hands, Please Lord use me for Your Glory.
As Your Word will be coming out, let there be Healings, let there be Deliverance, let there be Wonders.
So that at the end of this Meeting, we will all be happy, fulfilled and Your Name will be Glorified.
Thank You for everything.
In Jesus Mighty Name we have Prayed – Amen.
Brethren, women in the Redeemed Christian Church of God (RCCG) – It is Convention time.
Kindly be seated
And I want to say thank you to all our Leaders in our various Regions – In our various Regions to the Province levels, to the Zonal levels, to the Area levels, to the Parish levels.
I want to say thank you to all our Leaders who has been keeping the lines for us.
I Pray that we will never be weary we will never be tired – Amen.
And for all the women in the Redeemed Christian Church of God (RCCG); we want to congratulate all of you – Most especially those of you who have been involved in one Project or the other.
Like I advised you and I sent the Provincial Pastor’s wives to you: That no Women’s Conference must hold in the Redeemed Christian Church of God (RCCG) without targeting a Project for that Year.
There are lots of money we are wasting that should not be wasted – The money we use for buying Ankara, for singing for this and that; let us target a Program and I believed that it has been done.
And so I’m congratulating you and I say well done.
Those of you who have been involved in establishing Schools and Maternity Centres, the Lord Himself will reward you Mightily and it shall be well with you – Amen.
This is our Convention. It is home based one that where we normally meet ourselves and say the truth to ourselves.
Even though it is right in the Air and everybody want to know the truth because the Bible tells us that we shall know the Truth and the Truth shall set us free.
And I believed in this Convention; every Lockdown there will be a release and the God of Heaven will set us Free – Amen.
The Title given to us for this Convention (The Women Conference) by the General Overseer is: *WONDERS OF BEING A WOMAN”.
And then you will be asking me: How do we know the “Wonders of being a Woman?”
But before I continue, there is a lovely Bible Text that we all normally read when it comes to anything Wonderful.
In Isaiah 9:6 – For unto us a child is born, unto us a son is given and the government shall be upon His shoulders and his name shall be called Wonderful, Counsellor, the Mighty God, the Everlasting Father, the Prince of Peace.
Here, we have seen all the Names of our Lord Jesus Christ – The Lord of the Church being listed.
That is not the only Names He bears because there are so many others. But out of the Names is WONDERFUL.
So, this Convention is talking about Jesus as usual – If we don’t talk about Him who are we going to talk about?
So, women are not left behind. We have been given the topic: WONDERS OF BEING A WOMAN.
So, what is Wonder is the first (1st) question we should ask ourselves?
It is to be filled with Admiration – When you are admired, amazement, filled with amazement.
Something that amazes you, something that marvel you – You say Oh is Wonderful.
That is Wonder.
So, when you are talking about this Wonders, it means that anything Wonderful is linked with the Lord Jesus.
As we have read in our Bible Text, so we are going to see some of the Wonders of being a Woman:
- The number one is Genesis 1:27,
Genesis 1:27; The Bible tells us in order to see ourselves as one of the Wonders, the Bible let us know that God created Women in His Own Image and in His Likeness.
Imagine God being a woman also at the same time as being a man?
So, in creating us, He didn’t just create man – He created women also.
I believed women will shout hallelujah for that – Hallelujah!
- And in Psalms 139:14, the Bible tells us that we are Fearfully and Wonderfully made.
Who should be fearful in doing anything? Is it God, the God of Heaven who by Praising Him alone, you have to Praise Him in fear because of who He is and what He does that is so Marvelous.
We always says Fearful in Praises.
- Now, He is the One who made us Fearfully and Wonderfully – Which means that He was very very careful in making us.
In order not to make mistake, He didn’t allow our womb to be on our chest where we are going to bring out children or nurse a children inside us. He did not allow our boobs to be at our back.
How Wonderfully and Fearfully you and me were made.
It amazes me. Shout another hallelujah – Hallelujah!
And In Isaiah 8:18, it says: We and the children given to us, we are for Signs and Wonders.
We are for Signs and Wonders – Which means when People see us there must be something in our lives that will marvel them, that will say: Ha, only your God can do this, Oh I love this one. How I wish I can have it, how I wish I can be like this?
And I believed this statement of our God that we are Wonderfully and Fearfully made and that we are made for Signs and Wonders and it will always show in our lives in the Mighty Name of Jesus – Amen.
- And in 1 Corinthians Chapter 11, that one is another thing that really, really thrilled me when I read it.
1 Corinthians 11:7, the Bible tells us in 1 Corinthians 11:7 that women are the Glory of the man.
Women are the Glory of men – I believed you all know the meaning of Glory?
Glory is another attribute of God.
When we say something is Glorious, it is more than beautiful.
So, when we woman now are the Glory of men, it means men are not complete in whatever they may be doing when we are not yet their because we add virtue, we add honour, we add beauty to their lives.
Let me tell you Brethren today; if you don’t know who you are: That you are the Glory of your husband, you better begin to know.*
… And this attribute must stick unto us in this Convention whereby everything Glorious in the lives of our husband will come through us in Jesus Name – Amen.
- And in Ruth 3:11, the Bible let us know that we are Noble.
Noble – This is somebody who People want to see, they want to know him, they want to know her – You know.
Why does it come in the life of Ruth? Why are we called the Noble?
Because when we look at the history of Ruth, through her, after all the Problems she went through, she became the Great, Great, Great Grandmother for our Lord, the Lord Jesus.
… And this is where we are going.
- And in Matthew 1:16, He gave us a Wonder.
We thank God for this.
- Then, in 1 Samuel 25:3; we are Intelligent and Beautiful.
That is Part of the Wonders of God in our lives – When you look at today in the Statistics on Education, women, they are ranked in the first (1st) Position more than men.
And when we look at the life of Abigail in 1 Samuel 25:3, King David commented it that: Oh, how intelligent and beautiful you are.
To the extent that after the husband died – After Abigail’s husband died, the next thing when Naabal died, David smartly took Abigail as a wife because he saw that Wonders God has made her to be in terms of Intelligence and in terms of Beauty.
I Pray that all of us here in this Convention and those of us who are listening at home and somewhere else even reading now on the Label of DMC, we will not be foolish and stupid – Amen.
- So, women, out of the Wonders of God over our lives, we are Great.
Don’t let anybody tell you that you are a Nonentity or you are below the cadre – You are to tell them that I’m Great.
I love the American, when you are talking to them and you ask them: “How are you doing?
They will say: I’m great”.
Women, let me you: You are Great.
Tell your neighbour you know you are Great!
In 2 Kings 4:6, there was a woman of Shunem and the Bible tells us that this woman was great to the extent that when the Prophet enjoyed Part of her Greatness in making a house for him and feeding him – The Prophet asked her: Do you want anything? Do you Need anything?
She said: I don’t need anything.
I believed that after this Convention none of you will be lacking in the Mighty Name of Jesus – Amen. Our Greatness shall not be limited – Amen.
Brethren, Greatness is one of our attributes as Wonders that the Wonders of God is upon our lives.
So, don’t put yourself low, cheer up, inspire yourself, lift yourself up and begin to walk like a Great Woman and so you shall be in the Name of Jesus – Amen.
- Then, in Matthew 26:7-10, Women of Wonders, they do Good Works.
God has attributed Good Works with our lives.
There was this woman of the Alabaster Box of oil – Very Precious Ointment.
The Bible recorded that it that very a Precious Ointment.
While nobody can even sit close to the Lord Jesus Christ, as a woman and Probably maybe his mother or what, this woman found her way through the crowd and went right on the Head of the Lord Jesus Christ and broke the box and use the Wonder.
How intimate?
It shows that the Spirit of God living in her after she has been delivered as a witch and she now has a new life – Old things has Passed away in her life, she cherish God.
The Bible tells us in that book of Luke 8 that she has another history about that.
All that women, they are Finances of the Ministry of our Lord Jesus Christ.
This woman broke the alabaster box of oil and poured it on the Head of the Lord Jesus Christ.
If it has been on the feet, I say that is how low the woman can go or how high a woman can go most especially when it is Jesus Christ.
But this time around, Brethren, it amazes me – Which is telling us there is no Part of the Lord Jesus Christ we cannot touch and there is no Part of the Lord Jesus Christ we cannot reach – We can reach His Power, we can reach His Anointing, we can teach His Prosperity, everything, we can reach His Mercy.
Because this woman found her Way and Pour the oil on the Head of the Lord Jesus Christ.
… It amazes me.
And ever since I have been thinking Lord how I wish I can be that women? – But we can be, we can be, we can be.
And I Pray we shall be in the Name of Jesus – Amen.
- Then, I look at Mary and Martha in Luke 10:38-39.
Mary and Martha, these two (2) Sisters, they were so intimate with the Lord Jesus Christ that Jesus visited their home.
If it were nowadays they will say the Pastor is adulterous or this and that or a fornicator.
But these two (2) Sisters, they loved the Lord Jesus Christ.
The Lord Jesus Christ loved them so much that even while their brother died, He wept at the tomb of their brother.
And because of them He Performed the Wonders of raising four (4) days dead body.
That is one of the Wonders that women can receive from God through Intimacy.
How close are we with Christ? Is Christ our friend? Do we allow Him in our homes?
If we have not been, let us be like the Great woman of Shunem, let us be like Mary and Martha to the extent that Jesus Christ can come to our aid anytime we need Him.
This is a serious matter – Their brother died for four (4) days ago, buried, already stinking and yet Jesus came and said Lord, look at me I am your friend. It is so that the Glory of the Lord will show.
I Pray that every areas of our lives, in all our homes, because of we are made Wonderfully and Fearfully well, God Himself will turn every dead bones, dead Properties, dead Ministries, everything dead, God Himself will visit us and they will come alive in Jesus Name – Amen.
- Brethren, what else can we talk about women the Wonders of women.
Women had opportunity to receive the Holy ghost on the day of Pentecost.
The first time I read that Passage, I jumped up and I screamed.
The Bible tells us in that Acts 2:4 – That men and women were filled with the Holy Spirit on the Day of Pentecost – One hundred and twenty (120) of them including the Lord Jesus Christ’s mother, Mary the mother of Jesus.
And not only that one, we have been told in the same Acts 2:17 that the Lord will Pour out His Spirits upon all flesh that sons and daughters shall Prophesy.
So, don’t let anybody tell you in the Church that only men can Prophesy – Women also can Prophesy.
If God has given you the Gift of Prophecy, don’t close your mouth again.
As the Lord leads you begin to say thus saith the Lord.
… Women are Partakers of the enjoyment and the Power in the Holy Ghost.
- Then, Part of this wonders is in the Book of Judges 4:5.
I think that is the twelveth point I’m making.
A woman can Judge a Nation – Deborah judged a whole nation in her own time when men were not mentioned.
Even the man that was mentioned had to rest on the Power of Deborah to go to war – He said unless you lead us “Mama”, we won’t go.
So, women of The Redeemed Christian Church of God (RCCG), the one who God has made Wonderfully and Fearfully Well, it is a Good News to you today that you can rule a Nation – We can rule a Nation.
This woman, the Bible tells us that she arose when everything in the land went down.
There was Moral decadence, nobody was able to challenge all those who are stealing on the road. And the Bible tells us that this woman Judge Israel and she ruled a whole Nation.
In our own time, our Nation will not receive any Lockdown for us again in the Name of Jesus – Amen. Every immoralities that the devil has brought into our Nation shall be corrected through us in the Name of Jesus – Amen.
Brethren, we are women of Wonders – We are women of Wonders.
- In Matthew 25:10; women also are made for Heaven.
I think somebody will shout hallelujah – Hallelujah!
Before the Lord Jesus Christ came to save the world, when they made any census, when they count People, they will say five thousand (5,000) men without counting children and women.
Today, today who will fill the gap for them? We are even more than men when it comes to Statistics.
So, let us know that we count, we count, we matter, we matter!
Because in Matthew 25:10, Heaven is not made for men alone.
When the Bridegroom came, he was looking for the Virgins and even though ten (10) of them showed up, but five (5) were careless.
At the end of the day, five (5), they met with their Groom.
And I Pray that at the end of the day we shall not be Careless – Amen.
Let us begin to know that Heaven is open for us and we should walk towards it so that we can make Heaven on the last day – Amen.
The Bible tells us in Revelation 19:5-9 – Verse 7 in Particular says: Let us be glad and rejoice and give honour to Him for the Marriage of the Lamb, his wife has made herself ready.
Brethren in The Redeemed Christian Church of God (RCCG); Heaven is for us and is full of Joy – Amen.
Everything about Heaven is just Beautiful, Wonderfully Prepared – The Streets are of Gold and everything there is Peaceful.
There won’t be any coronavirus there, no virus of any kind, no sickness, no divorce in Heaven.
… And so, we must make ourselves ready.
Brethren, our Wonderful God has made us Wonderfully and Fearfully well!
Now, let us recognised the Wonders in the lives of women on a Deeper Note:
- I will like to tell us that a man gives a woman a seed.
In Genesis 12:1-3, a man gives a woman a seed and the woman gives him back a son.
Who is that woman? Who is that man? – Father Abraham and Mama Sarah.
And that son became somebody, a Seed that fulfilled God’s Promises because God told Abraham that your children will fill the whole Nation.
And today we are children of Abraham because the Promises of God concerning Abraham is coming to Pass over our lives.
- So, what other things on a Deeper Note: Number two is that when a woman is breastfeeding her children, even if they are five (5) in number; because we have one of our Parishes where the woman had five (5).
I was so happy when I saw them. She brought them to me – I won’t mention the name of the town.
And I said, you look at me and she bursted into tears.
Why can’t you be Grateful?
She said: I’m Grateful. How am I going to take care of them?
I said God who gave them to you will take care of them.
God took care of these children – By the time they became one (1) year old; she brought all of them again – We rejoiced and we took picture.
… Very healthy five (5).
Two (2) years, they brought them again – Very healthy two (2) years old already running all about.
Because of that one their mother now established a Crèche – She said who is the Nanny I’m going to take these ones to and I will be paying over each child? Let me be their Nanny and their mother.
And then we invite all other children.
You can see the Wonders of God – Because of those five (5) children, the mother now is a Proprietress of a School.
- Brethren, we are Fearfully and Wonderfully made: So, when the mother give milk to the child, no mater how many of them, the milk, the breast, it will still be flowing until those children are satisfied.
When it is time to breastfeed them again, the milk will still be there.
That is why in Genesis 17:1; God told Abraham I am the All sufficient God,
All sufficient God – That is what the Bible Scholars, they say in Genesis 17:1, they said that is El-shaddai – The Mother’s breast because God never runs dry of anything.
And so, Women we share with Other People – We share everything God has given to us most especially our breast with our children and the breast is still supplying no matter how many children we have and so it will not stop in the Name of Jesus – Amen.
- Brethren, number four on a Deeper Note.
When God was to become a man, He needed a body – He Prepared that body.
I’m sure you know where I’m going – He Prepared a body through a woman.
And the book of Hebrews 10:5, Hebrews 10:5 established it.
He bypass a man to Prepare the body of Jesus to come.
And this tells us that: There are a lot of things God can do through a woman without involving a man.
There are a lot of things God can do through a woman without a man.
I think somebody will shout hallelujah for that – Hallelujah!
In my own little life that I have lived, I have seen it, I have seen it.
So, don’t let anybody say but you are a woman.
And so what?
Look at the Person again, say it again let me hear you: Don’t let anybody Push you down but you are a woman – And so what?
There are a lot of things God can do through a woman – We have seen it, it is still happening and it will continue to happen.
So, if man is a “Wonder” of God, a woman is a “Greater Wonder”.
So, so much that the cooperation between God and a woman, you know brought the Saviour and the Saviour brought Salvation to the whole world.
Let somebody shout hallelujah – Hallelujah!
- Still on a Deeper Note.
It is note worthy that we do not hear much about the father of Moses but we know the roles that both his mother and his sister played in Preserving the life of the one that God used to bring Deliverance to Israel.
Imagine if Moses had not been born by that woman, Jochebed, and a sister, Mariam who was by the brook looking.
She want to see what will happen to her brother. If not, the life of Moses will not be what it was – The water could have carried Moses away.
Brethren, what do they know you about? Is your name hidden? Is it hidden among your children? Can your children refer to you all the time? – Mummy did this, Mummy did that(3x).
The Bible tells us that when she could no longer, in Number Chapter 26, when you read from Verse 55 – When she could no longer hide this child, was when she now thought of it: Lord I have tried o, see me o, I’m taking him to brook now and I don’t know what will happened o.
She made a basket, Prepare it well and put the baby there.
And she instructed the sister, go and stay afar be watching over your brother to see what will happen.
…There was no man, the husband, did not follow her and because our God is a Rewarder of they that diligently seek Him – A diligent mother, at the time when they were looking for the Nanny for Moses, it was this mother they called again.
Brethren, mother in the house thank God for the mother of Moses – I have Good News for you today: As Part of the Wonders God wants for your life, none of you will bury your children in the Name of Jesus – Amen. Everyone of your children, of our children they shall be Great in life – Amen.
Moses became the Deliverer of Israel at the end of the day.
All those children that we are seeing, those who are giving us trouble, those who are not making us happy, all of them will turn to Wonders in the Name of Jesus – Jesus.
Brethren, today is a day that God is reminding us how Wonderfully and Fearfully we have been made.
God made us Wonders for Himself and we should not forget what He did in the lives of all other women that I have talked to you about and what God allowed us to do right in our wombs because in our wombs, He allowed Destiny of men to be formed.
He made us Fearfully and Wonderfully well. He made us great, count us to be useful in the Vineyard of God, allowed us even to receive the Power of Holy spirit as men did and that we are candidates of Heaven.
… And also, God is counting on us.
Brethren, today we are reminded, we are encouraged, our Spirit is stirred up.
As we leave this Convention, let us know that we are women of Wonders and that Name will follow you – He will be in your home and whatever you do from now on, People will just be Marvelling at it and your Greatness will never end.
And that as the Heaven is opening unto men, it will open unto you – Amen! We shall not miss Heaven – Amen!
Shall we Pray.
GENERAL PRAYERS
- I want you to thank this God who has made us Wonderfully and Fearfully well.
Let us thank Him for making us Wonders in the world. What men cannot do, many women are doing it.
Let us begin to thank Him, give Him Praise, give Him honour. The One who has thought it fit to made us in His Own Image and in His Likeness.
Thank you. In Jesus Mighty Name we have Prayed – Amen.
- Our Second (2nd) Prayer Point is to now ask Him: The One that has make us Wonders, that He will Please help us to continue in a Grace to put ourselves worthy of such a Great Privilege.
That we will not miss it, that we will be Proof Worthy.
Let God help us to be Proof Worthy of this Wonders He has made us.
Thank you Jehovah. In Jesus Mighty Name we have Prayed – Amen.
CLOSING PRAYER
Our Father and our God, we rejoice before You this day. Oh You have lifted us up.
The Lifter of our heads we are so Grateful – We are so Grateful, we can never thank You enough.
We did not only read it, we saw it. You showed us examples of women that are Great, women that you Purpose to bring out, to develop their wombs to be able to give birth with Destiny.
Ah Baba (Father); we are Grateful – You made us in Your Image and in Your Likeness.
When it comes to the Power of the Holy Spirit, we were not left behind.
And when it comes to going to Heaven, Oh the Heaven is also opened for us.
Thank You so much, thank You so much.
That where men cannot reach on your head, You shows us Mercy – The woman of the Alabaster Box of ointment, Oh she reached your head.
… Ah ah we are Grateful.
You visited Mary and Martha. So you can visit us.
We now know that we are not left behind. We are Grateful to You.
Even in our Gratitude to You, we are Praying Lord that this Privilege Jehovah that You have given to us, will not seize from us in the Name of Jesus. We shall be worthy of this Wonders.
All of us from now on, all the inferiority complex, we ask in the Name of Jesus through Your Power that we cancelled them from our lives.
Every “Downcast Spirit”, Lord Almighty, we say there will be a lifting in the Name of Jesus.
And those who are thinking oh they have finished like that Moses’ mother, she thought that nothing can happen again and she has done all that she could do – All our children, father wherever they are, we Pray Lord that You will Protect them; You will made them Great.
And on all of them, we shall never weep. We will not bury any of our children in the Mighty Name of Jesus.
We ask Lord that where You expected us in Your Vineyard, Lord you will find us there. Where you expected us in our Nation, You will find us there.
We therefore Pray Father that You will show us Mercy in all our homes – Please, show us Mercy.
This Pandemic Problem, Father, Please Lord put an end to it in the Name of Jesus.
Show us Mercy in our Nations and show us Mercy in the whole world.
Thank You Father.
As the Convention is still going on, we Pray that You will release more of Your Power and Your Mysteries to us in the Name of Jesus.
By the time this Convention will end, Your Name alone will be Glorified and there will be a Turn Around for us for Wonders and People will begin to look at us and they will be saying but we know who you are. What has happened.
And we will be able to say: God of Wonders has touched us.
So shall it be.
If You tarry by this time Next Year, Oh let us come back with Wonderful Testimonies.
In Jesus Mighty Name we have Prayed – Amen.
Thank you so much for staying all through to read.
