OPENING PRAYER
God of Abraham, Isaac and Jacob. The Holy One of Israel. The All-Sufficient God. The Helper of the helpless, we Worship You.
Thank You for yesterday (Day 1); Thank You for what You are going to do today, (Day 2); Thank You in advance for what You will do tomorrow (Day 3).
Please, accept our Thanks in Jesus’ Name.
Lord God Almighty, in this Second (2nd) Day of the SPECIAL DIVINE ENCOUNTER SERIES: give us even a BIGGER Miracle than yesterday!
In Jesus’ Mighty Name we have Prayed – Amen!
Praise the Lord – Hallelujah!
Today, we want to go to the Part Two (2) in the Series of those who took off from the Ground and are FLYING in the Sky as a result of a SINGLE DIVINE ENCOUNTER.
Today we would want to consider the Story of: THE SON OF THE WIDOW OF NAIN in Luke 7:1-16.
11 And it came to Pass the day after that he went into a City called Nain; and many of his Disciples went with him, and much People.
12 Now when he came nigh to the gate of the City, behold, there was a dead man carried out, the only son of his mother, and she was a widow: and much People of the City was with her.
13 And when the Lord saw her, he had compassion on her, and said unto her, Weep not.
And may God have compassion on someone today – Amen!
14 And he came and touched the bier: and they that bare him stood still. And he said, Young man, I say unto thee, Arise.
15 And he that was dead sat up, and began to speak. And he delivered him to his mother.
… Let’s include Verse 16.
16 And there came a fear on all: and they Glorified God, saying, That a Great Prophet is risen up among us; and, That God hath visited His People.
May the Almighty God visit you today – Amen!
Very quickly, let us see what Lessons we can learn from someone who was not fresh dead – Like Jairus daughter as we learned yesterday (Day 1)!
This one, they were already carrying him to the Burial Ground. And then, he had a Divine Encounter.
And the one who was bringing sorrow to the mother, became a JOY to the mother.
He was an only son!
And incidentally, his mother was already a widow: The woman had known Joy before, and the Joy had turned to sorrow.
But a Single Divine Encounter, and her sorrow changed to JOY.
The Few Lessons we want to learn from this Story are:
- DON’T BURY ME YET
WHY? – Because HELP IS ON THE WAY
All those who think they can go and bury you; bury your Business, Bury your Prospect, bury your Future – Hey! Tell them “DON’T BURY ME YET: Help is Coming! Help is coming my way.
In 1 Kings 17:8-16, the Bible tells us about the Widow of Zarephath. She had only one meal left!
And she had made up her mind (I’m sure she didn’t tell the son) that after eating the last meal – “Myself and my son, we are going to commit suicide.”
But what she didn’t know is that as she was climbing the Hill to go and fetch firewood for the cooking; Elijah was climbing from down from the other side.
… HELP IS ON THE WAY!
I trust my God in Heaven, for ALL of you my children: help will arrive for you today – Amen!
In Daniel 3:20-25, when they threw Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego into the fiery furnace, the King himself thought: “The end has come for these ones!”
… But he didn’t know that there was HELP waiting for them in the Fiery Furnace.
You may not know it, but there is help already waiting in your House – Amen.
Between yesterday and now, I’m sure my God has arranged something: He will REMOVE some and BRING IN some!
And I believed that your way to the Top, would be accelerated by somebody somewhere, that the Almighty God Himself has arranged to be the Help for you in this Season – Amen!
In Daniel 6:1-22, when they threw Daniel into the Den of Lions – and they rolled stones across the mouth of the Den; they thought they had buried him!
… But they left an Angel out of their calculation!
An Angel of the Lord can Pass through any wall and door.
The one that the Almighty God is going to use to help you, will surface very soon – Amen!
- The Second (2nd) Lesson you need to learn from this is for you yourself: “DON’T WASH YOUR NETS YET.”
Because when you read Luke 5:1-7, Peter fished all night and caught nothing and he was already washing his nets – Not knowing that HELP WAS ON THE WAY.
Don’t write yourself off! – Even if others want to bury you, don’t bury yourself!
DARE TO DREAM AGAIN!
It will be a Good Idea if you can go back, get the tape of NOVEMBER 2020 HOLY GHOST SERVICE and listen to it AGAIN.
… Listen to that Tape “DARE TO DREAM AGAIN.

DMC NOTES: Or you can listen to the Voice Note of the RCCG November 2020 HGS on our DMC YouTube via this Link:
In Exodus 3:1 to Exodus 4:1-20; you will find a case of Moses.
He had a Dream once, that he would be a Deliverer of the children of Israel.
But after forty (40) Years in exile, he had forgotten about the Dream.
When God paid him a Visit; by the end of the day, he was on his way becoming the Deliverer that he had dreamt before!
You had some dreams forty (40) Years ago, and you think the Dreams are dead – DREAM AGAIN!
You have told all those who want to bury you not to bury you yet; then, don’t bury yourself.
After all, in Joshua 14:6-14, Caleb said to Joshua: ;Forty (40) Years ago, you and I we had a Dream that we can Possess the land.
Thank God, you are now our Leader; I’m eighty five (85) Years old now (but I’m not there yet)! “Give me my own Mountain and I will conquer it.”
I’m appealing to you my children – Stop dreaming small dreams! Dream of taking MOUNTAINS. Don’t ask for a HILL.
The Almighty God can Bless You so Mightily.
Some of you, your Dreams are so small. There are some of you who Dream: “If only God can give me a “Secondhand Car” – When has God become a Dealer in “Secondhand Goods”?
The Bible says in Psalms 24:1 – “The Earth is the LORD’s, and the Fullness thereof; the world, and they that dwell therein.”
Why don’t you sit down and Dream of being able to buy a hundred Luxurious Buses to bring crowd to the Holy Ghost Service!
Who told you God cannot do it? Is there anything too hard for Him?
In Genesis 21:1-7, the Bible tells us that Sarah said at the age of ninety one (91); “Who would have thought that I can still bring forth a child?”
If you are telling others not to bury you, DON’T BURY YOURSELF, TOO.
You know what? – You can still surprise the Coffin Bearers!
I wasn’t there (but I can imagine what happened) when that coffin was Put down.
Because the Lord said: “Put down the coffin.”
And they were wondering: ‘What is He going to do?’
And then He said to the Dead Boy: “Hey, little Boy, come out!”
They must have been wondering: what kind of Joker is this Preacher?
But then, when all of a sudden the boy jumped out of the coffin. I’m sure the Coffin Bearers would have jumped back a little.
I’m believing God for you – For a Miracle that will frighten those who are close to you before – Amen
… He can do it!
And you know what?
If you can just join your Faith with mine, you will never need those carrying you again – Amen!
That Boy never needed those Coffin Bearers anymore!
In Mark 2:1-11, the Young Man was brought in by four (4) Boys; they broke the Roof, brought him before Jesus Christ.
He was Paralysed from neck downward, that was why it took four (4) People to carry him!
… Because when a man is Paralysed, he becomes Heavier.
He never needed anybody to carry him again; he had an Encounter with God: And those who were carrying him, he now carried.
Until now, many of you have been living on the help of others – Very soon, you will be Helping those who are helping you – Amen!
… What do we learn from the Story of this Young Man?
- YOU CAN CHANGE THE STORY OF YOUR FAMILY.
The Story of his Family up to that moment, was the story of death, sorrow: Mama was a Widow, now he was dead!
And People must have been saying (among those People following them to the burial ground) – Ha, Ha! What’s wrong with this family? Sorrow, sorrow; Burial, Burial.
Let me decree to you (my Children): In the Mighty Name of Jesus Christ, Sympathisers won’t come to your house again – Amen!
… You can Change the Story of your Family!
Psalms 30:5 says: “For His Anger endureth but a moment; in his favour is life: weeping may endure for a night, but Joy cometh in the morning.”
As a result of the Divine Encounter, you are about to have, your Joy begins – Amen!
And even if your family is Great (let us assume that your family is great);
There is nothing stopping you from being GREATER than the greatest in your family!
In Genesis 24:34-35, the Bible says Abraham was great. But in Genesis 26:12-14, the Bible says, Isaac was VERY GREAT!
So there’s a great man in your family? You can be Greater than that fellow (And you will be – Amen)!
… In the Mighty Name of Jesus, you will be!
Even, it was this Boy’s Story that brought into the Bible, the name of Nain – The Name of the City!
Nobody heard of Nain in any Passage of the Bible, except this once.
You know what that means!
God can use you to bring your Town, your Village into the world Map.
I’m saying this with all Humility: “I come from a Village that wasn’t on the Map of Nigeria before.”
HOW DID I KNOW?
There was an occasion when I had to go to attend a Program in Ifewara (A Village in Osun State Nigeria). And I already had something Planned Ifewara (A Village in Osun State Nigeria).
And I knew I must go to Ifewara that day because my Presence there at that Particular Meeting is going to be beneficial to the work of the Gospel.
So what do I do? I am committed in Lagos, I must be in Ifewara.
So I said: “The only way I can go and come quickly, is hire an Helicopter!”
So we arranged for an Helicopter and then the Pilot could not find the Place on the Map. I had to guide them!
I just said: “Do you know Ife (In Osun State Nigeria)?”
They said Ife is on Map.
I said, when you get to Ife I will tell you what Direction to go!
… Today, Ifewara is on the Map!
It is not only on the Map of Nigeria; by God’s Grace, it is on the Map of the World!
You can have a big Encounter with God – so Big; that it will not Put the name of your Village on the Map of the whole world.
God can give you a Breakthrough that can Transform your Family from unknown, to World Renowned.
It was Isaac that Produced Jacob but it is Jacob that got his name changed to Israel.
God can give you a Single Divine Encounter that will cause you to become known throughout the world.
… So shall it be!
But, talking about Isaac Producing Jacob, Jacobs Producing Israel.
What would God require from you so that you can be Greater than the greatest in your Family? So that through you, your family can become a Nation?
… According to Genesis 22:1-18;
- You must LOVE the God of your father Passionately.
… Love the God of your father Passionately.
Since I’m talking to those of you who are my children: Love the God of Adeboye Passionately.
What do you mean?
When Abraham was going to the Mountain with Isaac, Isaac said to his father: “Papa, I can see the wood, I can see the knife; where is the ram for the Sacrifice?”
This boy Loved God so much; he thought his father had forgotten something.
“You don’t Worship God with an empty hand – Where is the ram?”
One thing I taught all my children: “You must learn to worship God even more than I do?”
Don’t say you are too Young to to Give to God; don’t tell me that you are too Young to Pay your Tithe. You Celebrate a Birthday, and they give you Gifts – You must Pay your Tithe!
Learn to Love Him – The God of your father!
- Submit to your Father completely.
In Genesis 22:9; when Abraham began to bind Isaac – I have told you this one before: You don’t ask a man who is close to one hundred and twenty (120) Years to bind a boy who is fifteen (15), unless the boy surrendered.
If he struggled, the Old Man could not hold him. If he chose to run, the Old Man could not catch up with him. But he surrendered.
I am where I am today because God gave me the Grace to surrender to my Father-in-the-Lord.
God told me loud and clear: “He is an illiterate, you have a PhD: but I have put you under his Authority – Surrender to him!”
- And finally, You must be Willing to be The Firstfruit Sacrifice.
Abraham gave the Firstfruit Sacrifice through Isaac.
He was Willing to offer Isaac as an Offering to God.
… But Isaac himself was the Offering.
Isaac said: Papa, you said God will Provide! But I didn’t know I am the Provision. If that is it, ride on!
That is why God said to Abraham: In Blessing I will bless you (I Swear)! But your son – I will Multiply him!
So, make up your mind; if you want to be Greater than your father, you don’t just give your Firstfruit; you will even make yourself the Firstfruit Sacrifice.
The Bible makes it clear: You must Offer your Life a Living Sacrifice to the Almighty God – Romans 12:1-2.
ALTAR CALL
If you are not Born Again, do you know what you have to do?
You will surrender to Jesus – Not just for Him to bless you; you will surrender to Him hundred Percent (100%) so that you can be a Living Sacrifice in His hands; and you can watch Him take over you, your life and make you even Greater than your Parents!
So, if you want to surrender your life to Jesus Christ, bow your head wherever you are; ask Him to take over your Life.
Say: I am accepting You, not just as my Saviour, but as my LORD. I just want You to take over COMPLETELY, my Life. And I will serve You for the rest of my life.
… And I will Pray with you now!
PRAYER FOR SALVATION AND CLOSING PRAYER.
My Father and my God I want to Thank You again;
I am asking Lord God Almighty, that You would look down with Mercy upon all these Your children who are surrendering their lives to You now wherever they are or even reading now on the Label of DMC!
Please, receive them, save their Souls, let Your Blood wash away their sins and Receive them into the Family of God.
And Lord God Almighty, as they are surrendering to You as not just as Saviour but as LORD; Lord God Almighty, let their future be Glorious.
Let them be far, far Greater than the greatest in their Family!
Thank You my Father!
As for all Your Children, who are saying: “Lord, I’m not just going to give You my Firstfruit, I will be even the Firstfruit Sacrifice for the rest of my life”; Please Lord, remember Your Promise: “That those who Honour You with their Firstfruit, You will bless them so much that they won’t have room to contain.”
Fulfill Your Promise for Your Children and make them far, far Greater than all their Parents.
In Jesus’ Mighty Name we have Prayed – Amen!
Praise the Lord – Hallelujah!
Now those of you who have given your lives to Jesus Christ, Please, contact me as soon as Possible – so that I can begin to Pray with you!
And contact the nearest Redeemed Christian Church of God to you: Tell the Pastor you have given your life to Jesus Christ and you want to know what to do next.
And the rest of us, your cry to God today is that: Lord, send Help to me quickly. That help that I know is on the Way, let the Help arrive today!
… That Your Name might be Glorified.
Oh, Thank You Father!
Thank you so much for staying all through to read.
