Ancient of Days; the Alpha, the Omega, the One who was, the One who is, the One who is to come; the Almighty God, the Holy One of Israel, the Unchangeable Changer – Glory be to Your Holy Name.

Thank You for the Days of “Small Beginnings”; Thank You for Greater Future; Thank You for Your son; Thank You for his wife; Thank You for his family; Thank You for this Commission; Thank You for the Past forty (40) Years; Thank You for a New Beginning – Father, accept our Thanks in Jesus Name.

Today Lord, like You have never done before in the lives of all Your Children here and those who are listening all over the world or reading now on the Label of DMC; Father do a New Thing, do something Unforgettable, do something Only You can do.

Let everyone of us go home with a New Testimony.

In Jesus Mighty Name we have Prayed – Amen.

Well, let someone shout Hallelujah – Hallelujah!

Well, if you are the happiest someone here today; shout the biggest Hallelujah – HALLELUJAH!

How about waving at two (2) or three (3) People and saying: God Bless You mightily!

SHORT TRIBUTES TO CELEBRANT: BISHOP DAVID OYEDEPO.

Well, it is difficult to describe my Joy.

You know that the Bible talks about Categories of Joy: Joy, Great Joy, Very Great Joy, Exceedingly Great Joy, and then it talks of “Joy Unspeakable and Full of Glory”.

Because I remembered the Beginning:

  1. I think I have told you before – I remembered the days when the Bishop will come from Kaduna in one Old Volkswagen car and I have to Pray that the car at least would take him back to Kaduna safely.
  2. And then I remembered those days when he got his first Jet and some People were criticising me for going to bless it and then I heard that while he was in the Air, the Jet gave some troubles.

… Well, what do you expect from a Jet that cost less than Half a Million dollars (Less than $500,000).

I remembered those days of “Small Beginnings” but my daddy spoke to me early this morning and said: What we are seeing now is still the days of “Small Beginnings” – Amen!

So, my Beloveth son – Congratulations!

Thank God for what He has done but we are just about to begin.

Those who believe that, let me hear you shout Hallelujah – Hallelujah!

Bible Text: Exodus 4: 1-7 and 20:

  1. And Moses answered and said, But, behold, they will not believe me, nor hearken unto my voice: for they will say, The LORD hath not appeared unto thee.
  2. And the LORD said unto him, What is that in thine hand? And he said, A rod.
  3. And he said, Cast it on the ground. And he cast it on the ground, and it became a serpent; and Moses fled from before it.
  4. And the LORD said unto Moses, Put forth thine hand, and take it by the tail. And he put forth his hand, and caught it, and it became a rod in his hand:
  5. That they may believe that the LORD God of their fathers, the God of Abraham, the God of Isaac, and the God of Jacob, hath appeared unto thee.
  6. And the LORD said furthermore unto him, Put now thine hand into thy bosom. And he put his hand into his bosom: and when he took it out, behold, his hand was leprous as snow.
  7. And he said, Put thine hand into thy bosom again. And he put his hand into his bosom again; and plucked it out of his bosom, and, behold, it was turned again as his other flesh.
  8. And Moses took his wife and his sons, and set them upon an ass, and he returned to the land of Egypt: and Moses took the rod of God in his hand.

When you go through the Scriptures; you will find out that the Number Forty (40) is always associated with a New Beginning

We don’t have time to go through it one by one but I checked very quickly and discovered that for example that:

  1. Noah had been in the Ark for forty (40) days before he opened the Window.
  2. And of course, you know that our Lord Jesus Christ fasted for forty (40) days and night at the beginning of His Ministry.

… And so on and so forth.

But it will interest you to know that Moses had been on or around Mount Horeeb for forty (40) Years before as you know very well in Exodus 3: 1-end – Before all of a sudden, the bush began to burn.

And when the bush began to burn, Moses heard God called his name for the first time.

And then, they had a lot of discussions – Please ensure that you read Exodus Chapter 3 at home!

But in this Section, what we want to look at is the one that I read to you – That is Chapter 4.

This is not the Sermon that I originally Prepared but this is the one God Himself gave me.

And because He gave me this; and I’m sure you know that you don’t say God said when He hasn’t spoken; unless you want to die.

When He gave me this Particular Passage and said that I was to talk on it; I knew immediately that apart from the Bishop, apart from his wife, apart from his children; there is somebody here today or reading now on the Label of DMC who is going to get an Anniversary Gift.

You see, after Moses and the Almighty God has been discussing for a while – God was telling him: Alright, you have been a fugitive for forty (40) Years; now we are going to start a Brand New Life.

And they were arguing and then God finally said: Moses, what is in your hands?

And he said: A Rod!

God said: Throw it down and he threw it down and it became a serpent.

The Bible said: Moses fled from it – This brings me to the Point Number 1.

  1. You know: There are Miracles and there are Miracles.

Acts 19: 11-12; tells us that God Performed Special Miracles by the hands of Paul.

And that should tell you that: Not all Miracles are Special but there are Miracles, there are Special Miracles.

But in this Particular case; the Miracles that happened, that Moses saw frightened him.

So, there are Miracles that are frightening!

The Bible made it clear in Psalms 67: 5-7 – It says: If we will Praise God, our God will bless us and the whole Earth will fear Him.

… There are Blessings, Miracles that when you see it, it frightens!

And I will give you an example very quickly: Several years ago, we held a Program at the National Stadium in Surulere (Lagos State Nigeria) and the Place was jammed Packed with People – People were sitting everywhere.

And there was a Man sitting at the very, very top of the Gallery and he has a “Big Goitre” round his neck.

Now, if you have that kind of Problem; that is what People will even see before they see your face.

So, there was a lady sitting next to him – The woman was trying not to look.

But as we are Ministering, God spoke and said: There is someone here – There is a “Big Growth” round your neck; check the Growth is gone.

And so the fellow sitting next turned because she knew that this is the one.

And when she looked, the Growth had disappeared!

She was so frightened that after the Program, she trekked from Surulere to Palm Groove (Both Cities in Lagos State Nigeria) before she remembered that her car was Parked at the Stadium.

May I Prophesy to someone: That before this day is over; you will see a Fearful Miracle – Amen.

  1. And then the Lord said to Moses – Hey, don’t run. Take the serpent by the tail.

And as he took the serpent by the tail, immediately the serpent changed back to a Rod.

You know that it is one thing to see a Miracle; it is another thing to touch the Miracle, it is another thing for the Miracle to happen in your hands.

In 2 Kings 4: 1-7 – You know the Story.

The Story of that Widow of one of the Sons of the Prophet who was greatly in debt and ran to the Man of God and the Man of God told her that when you get home; borrow a lot of Vessels and then begin to Pour that little bottle of Oil into the Vessels.

As she Poured; the Oil Multiplied. Right in her hands, Miracles began to happen.

You know in Psalms 1: 1-3; the Bible tells us that one of the Blessings you will get if you will concentrate on God and medidate on His Words Day and Night is that whatsoever you touch will Prosper – Amen.

And that is my Second (2nd) Prophesy to somebody today or even as you read now on the Label of DMC: From now on, whatever you touch will Prosper – Amen.

And I give you a very good illustration very quickly:

We held a Program in Akure several years ago. We finished and we were on our Way.

And this Man blocked our Way and said: You are not going anywhere!

What is the Problem?

He said that he was a Business Man – He was into Saw Mill Business.

But then for one reason or the other; all the Machines Packed Up. And every attempts to repair the Machines failed.

Things got so bad that his friends when they saw him coming began to run.

Why? – Because he has owed them so much. Now, they are not bothering him to Pay but they don’t want him to borrow more – That is why they were running.

Things got so bad that the wife went Mental. And because there was no money to take her to the Hospital; he went and dump the wife with an Herbalist.

Then he said: Unless that my Problem is solved; you are not going anywhere.

And I just felt God said: Ask him to Stretch forth his hands – And he did.

And I laid my hands on his hands – And I said: From now on, whatever you touch will Prosper..

… So he said: Amen!

Now, he got home, lay his hands on the Machines, started them and they began to work.

And he said: This thing is working ooo.

He ran to where the wife was with the Herbalist; laid hands on her and the woman jarked up and said: Ha, Ha, what am I doing here?

Within a Year, he bought himself a Brand New Car.

Now, if you don’t mind; could you Please Stand for some thirty seconds and lift your hands to the Almighty.

And I decree right now: Every Hands lifted now; beginning from this moment; whatever you touch shall Prosper – Amen.

… Please, be seated!

  1. Then God said to Moses: Let us go a Step further.

Put your hands into your bosom – He did, Pull it out. Ha, it has become Leprosy.

God said: Hold on, just put it back again.

He did and it became normal.

I believed that God was saying to Moses and maybe to Someone here too or those reading now on the Label of DMC: That see, it is one thing to see a Miracle, it is another thing to touch a Miracle (Afterall the Person next to you can be the Miracle) – Touch him then you are touching a Miracle.

… But it is an entire different thing to experience a Miracle yourself!

You see, the Bible says in Isaiah 40:28 – It tells us that there is a difference between Hearing and Knowing.

We have heard Testimonies – All manners of Testimonies here but when are you going to be the Testimony?

… I believed that it is now!

You see; in 1 John 1:1; when John the Beloveth was writing – He was talking about that which was from the Beginning. He was talking about the Lord Jesus Christ.

He says that we have heard about Him, we have seen Him, we have looked upon Him but our hands have handled Him – We have experienced the Miracle.

My father in the Lord told me a Story – That at the Beginning of the Ministry of the Redeemed Christian Church of God (RCCG); when things were hard. God Performed a Special Miracle for him.

They have just managed to get enough money to Prepare a Pot of soup. He (That is God) told him: Tell your wife that from today onwards, let her begin to dish from the Pot without looking inside.

So, Baba told Mama – So, today Mama will dish, it will be Fish; tomorrow she will dish, it will be Chicken; another time she will dish, it will be Beef.

For days on end; until one day “Blessed Woman” was overcome with curiousity and she looked and the Pot was empty.

Now, I heard that Testimony, it shook me but I had an experience.

I travelled to the East to go and Preach when I was still a Lecturer at the University of Lagos (Unilag). And I will be there by weekend to Preach. I will be back by Sunday night so that I can be back in the office by Monday morning.

And I was returning; I got to Onitsha (Anambra State Nigeria), I wanted to refuel but there was no fuel there. I said that I will get fuel in Asaba (Delta State Nigeria).

I got to Asaba (Delta State Nigeria), no fuel. Ha, well definitely there will be fuel in either Benin (Edo State Nigeria) or Ore (Ondo State Nigeria) as there are Depots there.

… First of all, in Benin (Edo State Nigeria), no fuel; Ore (Ondo State Nigeria), no fuel.

By now, the Fuel Guage of my car was reading “Reserve” – Almighty God, what am I going to do?

And God spoke – And God will speak to somebody here today or while reading now on the Label of DMC – Amen.

And said: Son, take your eyes off the Fuel Guage and drive on.

Thank You Lord – So, I began to drive from Ore (Ondo State Nigeria) to Surulere (Lagos State Nigeria).

When I Parked my car, then I looked at the Fuel Guage and it read “Empty”.

In the Name of the One who called me; in the Name of the One who Commissioned your Bishop; from now on, you will be experiencing Miracle – Amen.

  1. And then we move on quickly the Exodus 4:20.

After Moses Saw a Miracle, Touched a Miracle, Experienced a Miracle; the Bible said that he now decided to go back to Egypt and he took the Rod of God with him.

I. First of all, it means you are not going to leave here empty handed – Amen.

II. It means he carried a Miracle with him because that Rod which was the “Rod of Moses” has become the “Rod of God”.

And with that Rod, he Performed all manners of Miracles – Changing Water to Blood, Opening Red Sea et cetera et cetera.

You know in 2 Kings 2: 9-15; the Bible tells us about the time Elijah disappeared.

And before he disappeared, he asked Elisha: What do you want? – You know the Story.

Elisha said that I want a “Double Portion of your Spirit”.

He said that if you see me before I will be taking away from you; it will be so unto you.

Anyway, he saw him and as he was leaving; he dropped the Mantle.

The boy Picked up the Mantle; got to Jordan and said: I know what my daddy did to Cross Jordan.

So, he rolled his Mantle, smote Jordan again and Jordan opened.

And as long as he carried that Mantle with him; all manners of Miracles and Signs and Wonders were happening.

There is something Special that the Almighty God will want me to do for you today; but I will tell you a Story before I do it.

We are at the Holy Ghost Service (Monthly Program organised by the Redeemed Christian Church of God, RCCG) and then a woman got a Phone Call – Your daughter (and the daughter who was Pregnant) has been taken to Lagos State University Teaching Hospital (LUTH). She gave birth to a Set of Twins but we are sorry to tell you that the Twins are dead and your daughter is dead too.

She said that the devil is lying – And concerning any of you here or those reading now on the Label of DMC; the Plan of the enemy is a lie – Amen.

So, she said: Keep them for me. Don’t let them take them anywhere, I’m on my Way.

She got to the Hospital.

And I think earlier before then – Maybe during the National Convention or Holy Ghost Congress Service; I had blessed some handkerchiefs for People and Anointed Oil for People who came and so on.

So, they showed her the Twins; she dropped some Oil in the mouth of the first one, some Oil in the mouth of the Second one and said to them: Don’t waste my time, come back.

Within Seconds, the first one sneezed and came back to Life. She turned to the Second one and said: What are you waiting for – Hurry now. And that one came back to Life too.

Now, there was Pandemonium in the Hospital.

And at that time, they were now Wheeling the Corpse of the mother to take to the Mortuary.

Then she said: Wait a minute. She took the Oil, Pour it in the mouth of the mother, took the handkerchiefs and laid it on her head and say: What is wrong with you? Who is going to take care of your children? – Come back here my friend.

You see, when she was sharing the Testimony at Redemption Camp; I told the People Present – I said I was the father and anointed the Oil and Prayed over the handkerchiefs but I have not raised three (3) dead Person in a day.

But my Prayer has always been that my children will be Greater than I – Amen.

I want you to Stand on your feet and lift up your handkerchiefs. But if you have no handkerchiefs, just lift up anything that is a Piece of Cloth.

I am going to Pray in the Spirit for just one (1) minute and as soon as I finished, well we will see what we will see.

SPECIAL PRAYER TO ANOINT HANDKERCHIEFS

My Father and my God; you know that this is a “Very Special Day” – This is a Day of “Joy Unspeakable” for me and all I want as my own Special Gift Lord is that every Piece of Clothes lifted up to you now be saturated with Your Anointing.

When they lay these handkerchiefs on the dead, let the dead rise.

Whether the dead is a Human Being or a Project, anything they lay these handkerchiefs on; let it rise again.

Daddy, cover the Anointing that has gone out with the Blood of Jesus Christ; let the Anointing be Permanent.

In Jesus Mighty Name we have Prayed – Amen.

Lay the Handkerchiefs on your head and say: In the Mighty Name of Jesus Christ; from now on I will be a Testimony.

If you believe then shout Hallelujah – Hallelujah!

You may Please be seated.

But just in Closing:

  1. Moses woke up that morning as a fugitive; before the day was over; according to Exodus 7:1, he has become “A god to Pharaoh”.

… He was a fugitive, he was running from Pharaoh – That was the situation when he woke up in the morning.

By the time he went to bed; he has become a terror to the one terrorising him.

From now on; when the enemies see you coming, they will run – Amen.

It takes God minutes to Change a Man’s Life Permanently.

I can still remembered something that happened early in 1981 – I woke up as “Ordinary Pastor Adeboye” but then there was a Service like this and at the end of the Service; they led me to a Chair – The Chair my father in the Lord used to sit on and now they say: Sir, you are now our General Overseer (GO), this is your Chair.

I sat on that Chair that day and it was as if Electric Current from Heaven flowed.

I knew very well that it was not the one who sat down that got up – Within Seconds, and things has never been the same again.

From now on; things will never be the same again in your Life – Amen.

ALTAR CALL

I can’t close this Service without giving Somebody an opportunity to give his or her Life to Jesus Christ.

You see because 2 Corinthians 5:17 says: Therefore if any Man be in Christ, he is a New Creature; Old things have Passed away, behold all things has become New.

You want everything to become New in your Life Permanently; you must give your Life to Jesus Christ – That is the Only Way!

So, I know that there is not enough room here to ask you to come forward. But if you are in the Congregation or reading now on the Label of DMC and you have not really given your Life to Jesus Christ – You know that you can deceive Men but you can’t deceive God.

I will want you to Stand Up on your feet very quickly.

For those of you inside the Auditorium; Please run forward now because I will count from one (1) to five (5). Before I say five (5); you must come and surrender your Life to the One who can Change you and Change you Permanently.

… You must come and give your Life to the Saviour.

Thank You Daddy, Glory be to God. Thank You Father.

Now, those of you who has come and those of you on the Way; just cry to Jesus Christ in your own language and say: Lord, just have Mercy on me; save my Soul, wash me Clean in Your Blood, give me a Brand New Beginning Lord and I will serve You for the rest of my Life.

And the rest of us who are sure of our Salvation; let us Stretch our hands towards these People and intercede for them – Say, Lord give them Genuine Salvation; forgive all their sins Lord, save their Souls, give them a Brand New Beginning.

… Go ahead, intercede for them!

Thank You Lord. Glory be to God.

In Jesus Mighty Name we have Prayed – Amen.

PRAYER OF SALVATION

My Father and my God, we want to say Thank You – Thank You for Your Words and Thank You for these People who has come forward to surrender their lives to You.

Plrsse Lord; receive them, save their Souls, let Your Blood wash them Clean, write their names in the Book of Life, let them become Members of the family of God.

From now on; anytime they call on You, answer them by Fire and let everything become New for them.

Thank You my Father.

In Jesus Mighty Name we have Prayed – Amen.

Now, those of you who has come forward; let me hear you shout Hallelujah – Hallelujah!

God Bless You.

The Counsellors will attend to you and I’m sure the Bishop will take over from there on and I will be hearing God News concerning you – CONGRATULATIONS!

Now before I retire; we will want to humbly invite the Bishop – I mean when a Pastor is talking to a Bishop and with his family: Mama and the children. Please come!

Now, we will Please Stretch forth our hands towards this family and just wish them whatever we wish for ourselves.

If you want a Brand New Beginning of Success, of Glory, of Joy, of Promotion – Please Pray for them.

They have been Praying for you, interceding for you, for all these Years – Now, it is your turn to Pray for them.

Oh Lord. Thank You Father. Blessed be Your Holy Name. Thank You Daddy.

In Jesus Mighty Name we have Prayed – Amen.

FINAL BLESSINGS

So, my Father and my God; I just want to Thank You on this fortieth (40th) Anniversary.

All I’m asking for; for this family is a New Beginning – A New Beginning of Joy, of Peace, of Divine Health, of Success, of Progress, of Glory.

Daddy, I want You to move this family from Glory to Glory.

The kind of Miracle the world had never heard of before; through this Commission begin to bring them to Past.

Lay Your Mighty Hands on Your son again and Pour Fresh Oil on him.

Lay Your Mighty Hands on the wife; Pour Fresh Oil on her.

Lay Your Mighty Hands on the children; Pour Fresh Oil on them.

Lay Your Mighty Hands on each of them; Pour Fresh Oil on them.

Lay Your Mighty Hands on the grandchildren; Pour Fresh Oil on them.

My Father and my God; build a Mighty Wall of Fire around them.

Anyone who attempts to harm them; you the Great Consuming Fire consume such enemies.

And through them, my Father and my God; let Fresh Anointing flow to all the Ministers.

Through them, let Mighty Miracles flow to all the Members.

Thank You my Father and my God.

In Jesus Mighty Name we have Prayed – Amen

Let someone shout Hallelujah – Hallelujah!!!
