DAY 2 (MORNING); RCCG 2021 MINISTER’S CONFERENCE

THEME: A NEW WAVE OF GLORY

MINISTERING: PASTOR E.A ADEBOYE

DATE: 2ND AUGUST, 2021.

MAIN BIBLE TEXT: 2 CORINTHIANS 3:18

SESSION BIBLE TEXT: 1 KINGS 18: 30-32

2 Corinthians 3: 18 – But we all, with open face beholding as in a Glass the Glory of the Lord, are changed into the same Image from Glory to Glory, even as by the Spirit of the LORD.

This morning, we want the take our Bible Text from 1 Kings: 18: 30-32:

30 And Elijah said unto all the people, Come near unto me. And all the people came near unto him. And he repaired the altar of the LORD that was broken down.

31 And Elijah took twelve stones, according to the number of the tribes of the sons of Jacob, unto whom the word of the LORD came, saying, Israel shall be thy name:

32 And with the stones he built an altar in the name of the LORD: and he made a trench about the altar, as great as would contain two measures of seed.

When we talk of Waves, Particularly Waves of Glory; you will discovered that each is Anchored around a Man.

That is why the Almighty God said in Ezekiel 22:30 – He said: I look for a Man.

The Almighty God during this RCCG Minister Conference 2021 is looking for a Man or Woman around which to Anchor the New Wave of Glory!

And I am sure that He will find one.

Who do you think He will find? – The DMC Family Members!

Waves down the History Time has always been Anchored on a Man – Joseph, Moses, Joshua, Gideon et cetera et cetera.

That is why when writing the History of any Nation, it is always during the Time of So and So.

When you hear People like John Wesley; God is looking for a Man who will get the Wave Rolling.

All was well with Israel until Joseph died and a New King arose who did not know Joseph.

God said to Joshua in Joshua 1: 1-8 – Moses my Servant is dead (One Wave of Glory over). Joshua, you are the one I will choose.

But I find a Man who is not a Politician, but who is a Minister of God like you and I whose waves rolls from Wave to Wave – His name is Elijah.

That is why I spent 3 Years studying him and still doing it and Presently doing a Series on him more than 20 Weeks now.

DMC NOTES: Daddy GO is currently doing a Weekly Series in the Weekly Sunday Sermon Broadcast on: Going Higher – With Special focus on Elijah. We are Presently on Part 26. You can access all these 26 Parts on our DMC Website: www.discoverymediacrew.com. But once the Series over, we will release a Downloadable PDF of all the Series!

I looked at this Man – All of a sudden, we heard of Elijah the Tishbite, of the Inhabitants of Gilead said unto Ahab (The King).

1. Out of no where, he just bursted into the Pages of History from obscurity – They didn’t even mention his father’s name because his family does not mattered.

They mentioned even the father’s name of Baetimeaus but for Elijah, his father’s name not mentioned at all.

He was what we called Nonentity, a Man of No Value; except 1 or 2 Things we will learn from him.

Because whether you like it or not; God called this Meeting for somebody who is about to Anchor the New Wave of Glory – Probably, nobody knows your name before!

But do you know what: God recognised you. On the day that you were Anointed.

Elijah came out of no where and shut the Heavens – Ha, it was not a Glorious Moments for three and Half Years.

… No drop of rain – What a Man!

2. Then he moved to the Level of Multiplication.

In 1 Kings 17: 8-16 – Every day, the Widow of Zarephath cook, took out of the food and it was full again for almost 3 Years.

Why was it so? – Because a Man came to live with her.

That is what God told me during the time we were starting the First Church in Abuja that I told you yesterday Night (Day 1 Evening – Check on the Label of DMC for the Full Text of this as well).

He asked me to tell the Elders of the Church to Strengthened the Foundation by going round and be the Teaching the Doctrine of the Church as we (RCCG) was then about to move from Addition to Multiplication.

They laughed at us that our Churches were like where 2 or 3 People gathered together.

By the Grace of God, we (RCCG) are in the Ministry of Multiplication!

3. Then he moved to the Ministry of Restoration.

1 Kings 17: 17-24 – You know the Story.

The Son of the Widow died and for the first time in the History of the world; a dead Person was brought back to Life through my friend, Elijah.

Some of the Nations are beginning to experience our (RCCG) Ministry of Restoration because we are influencing Ministries that has died Spiritually. Other Denominations will come alive because of us (RCCG) – Amen

4. He moved to the Ministry of National Revival – 1 Kings 18: 1-End.

Whether you like it or not; God will use the Redeemed Christian Church of God (RCCG) to revive the whole world – Amen!

We are almost in all the Nations of the world – Though we may be tiny there. Don’t forget that the RCCG that you are seeing today, started out as a House Fellowship.

But what is so Special about my friend Elijah?

You will find it from the first Statement he made in 1 Kings 17:1 – Ahab, as the Lord God of Israel liveth before whom I Stand

Ahab, I am not talking to you as a Nonentity; I am talking to you as an Ambassador of the Lord.

… That makes all the difference!

Later on, Elisha wanted to cross River Jordan back after Elijah had been taken away from him. He got to Jordan and said: Where is the Lord God of Elijah?

… Where is the Person that made Elijah, Elijah?

I decree to everyone of you here this morning and those reading now on the Label of DMC: If anyone says where is your God; you will say that He is here with me – Amen!

When I started out on the Study of Elijah; the question that came to my Mind – A Mathematician, a Young Christian; was that: For how long has he (Elijah) been standing before God? For how long has he been charging his Spiritual Battery?

Then I looked at what followed: He shut the Heaven, left the King with the Word of God.

Then in 1 Kings 17:3 – Go and hide at the Brook of Cherith.

But what I asked was: Wasn’t he lonely at Cherith?

The only companions that be had there were birds – When they dropped his food in the morning and evening.

And I got an Answer from God – There is difference between “Alone” and “Being Lonely”.

In 1 Kings 18:22; he (Elijah) made a Statement – The Prophets of Baal are many but I alone with God!

You can never be lonely when you are alone with God!

When you want to know the true meaning of loneliness; it is when God is absent!

You don’t believed me, ask Samson – Judges 16: 18-end.

The moment God departed from him (Samson); he was on his own – Lonely, till he died.

I Pray for all of you that is here or reading now on the Label of DMC: The Almighty God will never leave you alone – Amen!

Another example can be found in 1 Samuel 28: 4-6.

King Saul – The first King of Israel, a Nobody that God Promoted to a King.

And he started disobeying God and the Army of the Philistines gathered up against him and he was afraid.

He (King Saul) talked to God: What do I do? – Silence! No dreams, no Prophesy. The only Prophet that he could run to was Samuel and he was dead.

You know that the Elders has a Saying: You shouldn’t rejoice because you have a crowd.

Do you know why? – Sooner or later, everybody will go to their home.

You have a Big Congregation – Congratulations. Sooner or later, everyone will go home; even your wife will fall asleep. Then it will be who has God.

To be “Alone” with God is very Significant!

There is a Saying that 3 can be a crowd.

If you don’t believed me; ask those who are married – In the morning of the Wedding Day, everyone is around them. Then the Wedding Proper Service, Reception; then they went home to spend the Night. If the Best Man and Chief Bride Maid still go with them – What now, go home. Thank You!

But 3 can be a crowd – There are moments when God wants you to Himself alone!

Why was Elijah sent to Cherith? – So that He (God) could have him to Himself alone.

In Matthew 14:23; Jesus Christ had a wonderful Outreach – The Multitudes came, heard the Word of God, fed and then He sent them away and retired alone to go and be with God.

… There are moments when 3 can be a crowd!

Do you know that I made a discovery in 1 Kings 19: 1:3 – When Jezebel said to Elijah: I will kill you by tomorrow and Elijah fled.

The Bible said that he got to a Place and left his Servant there.

Why? – He wanted to be alone with God.

I also learnt that we never heard again about that Servant – The same Servant that was sent to go and check the crowd, he ran Marathon with Elijah to Jezreel but the moment they separated; we never heard of him again.

Elisha learnt from this in 2 Kings 2: 1-8 – When Elijah asked him to stay behind. He simply said: I am not waiting as we are going together.

I didn’t say that God cannot Call you to start your own Ministry. The Redeemed Christian Church of God (RCCG) is not a Cult that once you are in, you cannot leave. If you want to leave, I will Pray for you!

But it is the End that mattered!

Now, let me go to the Elijah fellow when he is about to move to the National Revival of his Ministry.

He repaired the Altar of God that was broken down.

You have an “Urgent Assignment” this morning (Day 2 Morning of the RCCG Minister Conference 2021) – You are going to repair an Altar!

I will explain this as quickly as I can:

What itself is an Altar?

1. An Altar is the Meeting Place between God and Man – Genesis 2:7.

… Here, I am talking of a Godly Altar now because there are Altars dedicated to the Devil too.

2. An Altar is where Man calls on God – Genesis 12:8.

That is why in every Sanctuary; the Highest Part is always the Altar.

As huge as this Place is; there is an Altar higher than everywhere else.

Why? – That is where you Preach from.

3. That is where the Representative of God is an Oracle. That is where the Word of God will flow out of you – 1 Peter 4:1.

When you Preach, you are to do it as a Mouth Piece of God.

4. An Altar is where People come to be Married – Join or fuse 2 People together (Genesis 2:24 – The 2 shall become 1 at the Altar).
5. The Altar is where you Dedicate Children.

Hand Over to God those who belongs to Him – Psalms 127:3.

6. The Altar is where you bring your Offerings to God and offer it for Presentation – Matthew 23:24.

The Bible says that if you bring an offering to God and remembered that you have grudges with someone; it says leave it there (Altar) and reconcile first before offering your Sacrifice.

7. An Altar is where Covenant between God and Man is made.

I. Genesis 8: 20-22 – The very first Covenant that we now know as the Covenant of Seed Time and Harvest Time happened at the Altar Noah built.

II. The Covenant of Irreversible Blessings happened at an Altar – Genesis 22: 15-18.

When Abraham was about to offer Isaac his son to God and God stopped him.

God said: I Swear.

… This Covenant can never be reversed!

So those who are Wise, treat Altar as Altar – Genesis 13:18. Anywhere Abraham went, he built an Altar.

Like we have mentioned – If you look at the Covenant of God from Abraham, to Isaac, to Jacob; the 3 of them built an Altar.

The “Real Altar” however is a Mobile one – It is the one in your Heart!

Psalms 27:8; David said: When thou saidst, Seek ye my face; my heart said unto thee, Thy face, LORD, will I seek

Where is the Communication between God and Man taking Place – Mobile Altar!

In Genesis 24: 42-48 – When Abraham sent his Servant to go and get wife for Isaac his son. He (Servant) got to the Well and communicated with God in his heart.

In Genesis 25: 1-2; God said: If you want to bring an Offering to the Altar (The one we see); we should make sure that we have already Presented it in your heart otherwise, it won’t be Accepted.

So, if you won’t give to God Cheerfully, then don’t give Him because He loves a Cheerful Giver!

David said in Psalms 19:14 – Let the Meditation of my heart be Acceptable to You Oh Lord.

Let what I am thinking in my heart be Acceptable to You

Matthew 5:8 says: Blessed are the Pure in Heart for they shall see God.

Deuteronomy 11:16 tells us that backsliding begins from the heart – When the Altar of your Heart is dedicated to someone else.

Jesus Christ talked about committing Adultery in your Heart.

Psalms 66:18 stated clearly – If there is a Problem with the Altar of your Heart, don’t waste time talking to God.

It says: If I allow Iniquities in my heart, the Lord won’t hear me.

I Pray for you: If you have been hearing from God and you are not hearing again; may the Lord restore you – Amen!

Do you know that there is something very interesting – There is a difference between “The Word of the Lord Came” and “God Said”.

When God wants to speak to you; He sends an Angel.

In Judges 6: 11-16; God sent an Angel to Gideon and they began to talk.

You have heard the Audible Voice of God – When that happens, you look.

When you read 1 Kings 17: 2-6 – God didn’t send an Angel to Elijah. But the Word of God came to him – The Altar of the Heart of Elijah.

1 Kings 19: 9-13 – Elijah was in a Cave and God spoke to him: What are you doing there? And he began to explain.

Okay, go and stand outside; I want to talk to you.

He stood – We all know the Story!

There are many things but the “Still Small Voice”.

What is the difference between “The Word Came” and “Still Small Voice’?

I. “The Word Came” goes to the Heart.

II. The “Still Small Voice” goes to the Ear.

How beautiful will it be that the Word of God will keep coming to your Heart!

When you are Preaching, there are lots of noise around. In that noise, you can’t hear the “Still Small Voice” but the Word of God can come to your Heart.

Why? – Because you have a Great and Urgent Assignment this Morning.

Repair the Altar of God that has broken down – The Altar in your Heart!

Because it is only then that you can hear a Word from Him now that will transform your entire Ministry and Life.

Psalms 95: 7-8 says: If you want to hear His Voice; hardened not your heart.

Joel 2: 12-14 – Still talking of repairing the Altar of your Heart says: Rend your heart, go inside and so what needs to be done.

In Judges 6:25 – The first thing an Angel of the Lord told Gideon was to Pull down the Altar of Satan.

And then like Elijah did afterwards – He repaired the Altar. An Angel said to Gideon: Build a New Altar (Judges 6:26).

When you got Born Again; the only desire(s) in your Heart was to serve God Acceptably. We never thought of Position, we don’t think of money – We just wanted to serve the Lord.

What is in your Heart now? – Is it Position, Promotion, how much money you can make?

I don’t know of others; when I got Born Again: I was ready to Sacrifice anything. I was so glad that He (God) saved my Soul because I was so close to Hell and He snatched me back.

So, I want to tell everybody: Spend and be Spent and I was just hungry for God.

This Morning: I won’t ask you to Pray here – I will advice that you locate a Spot for yourself and settle down alone with God!

If you like, go there and Pretend – The Choice is yours.

Each time we have the Holy Ghost Service; for some days, I normally go into hiding.

What do you think that I went to do?

To Present my Heart to God first alone – Are there things that I have done that I shouldn’t? Are there thoughts in my Heart that is wrong etc.

There is no Phone Calls. If I talk to my wife at all; it is at dedicated time.

I don’t go there as General Overseer; I go there as a “Baby” in the Hand of the Lord.

The Elders has a Saying: How today is not how tomorrow will be. That is why the Herbalist check his Oracle every 5 days.

So drop your Offerings; locate a Spot alone with God

God Bless You – Amen!!!
