OPENING PRAYER

My Father and my God – The Father of all fathers.

We Your Children are saying: Daddy we love You, we appreciate You.

We Thank You for all the Previous Conventions and Thank You for this one.

Thank You because You are going to move us to a New Wave of Glory, Thank You that You are starting again with us the children, we bless Your Holy Name Father.

Accept our Thanks in Jesus Name.

And our Father, we Pray that during this Convention, You will bless all of us children and You will bless our Parents. You will bless our Teachers, You will bless our Pastors, You will bless all our Friends and even all Members of DMC.

In Jesus Mighty Name we have Prayed – Amen!!!

Now all you children wherever you may be located right now, I want you to shout a very big Hallelujah to God – Hallelujah!

Praise the Lord – Hallelujah!

Please be seated if you are standing as we go to Psalms 127, from Verse 3-5.

The Bible says:

3 Lo, children are an Heritage of the LORD: and the fruit of the womb is His Reward.

4 As arrows are in the hand of a Mighty Man; so are children of the Youth.

5 Happy is the Man that hath his quiver full of them: they shall not be ashamed, but they shall speak with the enemies in the gate.

Children today as we are beginning the Convention, we want to talk about the “GLORY OF CHILDREN”.

Oh Children I’m sure you know you are very Glorious and you are so Glorious that God Himself calls you His Heritage.

In the Bible Text that I just read, God said: Children are the Heritage of the Lord.

As a matter of fact, God says you little ones you are His Reward.

And by the way, when I say: I’m talking to children, I am talking to those of us who considered ourselves as children.

Because we are talking about God now and when we considered the Age of God compared to our Age, I know I am a child in the Hand of the One who is called the Ancient of Days.

Children are very very Special to God.

Why? – Because the Bible says they know how to Praise God Perfectly.

The Bible says out of the mouth of babes and sucklings thou hast Perfected Praise.

… They know how to Praise God.

They are not shy, they don’t care who is looking.

When they wanted to shout, they shout. When they wanted to dance, they dance – They Praise God Perfectly.

The Interesting thing is that God Himself said in Matthew 19:14 – He says: The Kingdom of God belongs to children.

They are the Owners of God’s Kingdom.

In Matthew 18:3, God said clearly that: Unless you will be converted and you become like a child, you will not enter into the Kingdom of God.

… The Kingdom of God is for the children alone.

Anyone who wants to go in, must become like a child.

As a matter of fact, in Matthew 18:4, God says: The children we are talking about are the Greatest in the Kingdom of Heaven.

… They are the VIP’s there.

He said anybody who is thinking of any form of Greatest at all, must first and foremost become like a child.

And Matthew 18:10, you know I think you should spend time reading Matthew 18 you will see how much it has to say about children.

In Matthew 18:10 the Bible warns you – Those of you who think you are adults: Handle children with care.

Why? – He says because their Angels have direct access to God.

I’m sure that you know about Angels Particularly those of you who are Adults.

Not every Angel can come near God at all and those who are given the rare Privilege of coming near to God, they have Six (6) wings – With two (2) they cover their faces, with two (2) they cover their legs and then they fly with two (2).

The reason they cover every other thing is that if they leave any bit of it uncovered, the Glory of God will wipe them out.

But the Bible says clearly that the Angels of children have direct access to God.

Handle children with care – Anything you do to them their Angel will report you to God directly.

I think the children everywhere should shout Hallelujah for that – Hallelujah!!!

You are VIP, you are VIP children. The Kingdom of Heaven belongs to you. Anybody who wants to come into Heaven must either be, or he must become like a child or just stay out.

And if they are looking for Great People in Heaven – They are the Children.

*Now, what is the link between Children and A New Wave of Glory because that is the Theme of our Convention?

How come we are starting the Convention with Children?

How come we are giving you the First Day?

I know that you have been having a wonderful time since morning till this evening.

It is because Glory comes in Waves.

2 Corinthians 3:18 tells us that: We are moved from Glory to Glory.

… Glory comes in waves.

And for example: Moses represented a Great Wave of Glory.

In Exodus 12:1-36, it was Moses that God used to bring the Children of Israel out of Egypt.

In Exodus 14:1-28, it was Moses that God used to open the Red Sea.

… That was a big Wave of Glory.

But then, just as Moses was Passing away, a New Wave of Glory came through a son that he has adopted – By the name of Joshua.

In Joshua 1:1-8, God said clearly: Joshua, Son of Nun; Moses is gone now – One Wave is over and another Wave must begin. And that Wave is beginning with you, Joshua.

Oh Moses was a Great Wave – He brought the Children of Israel out of Egypt.

But Joshua – You his son, you are the one who will bring them in to the Promised Land.

… A bigger Wave, a more Glorious Wave.

Hosea 12:13, Bible says by a Prophet Israel was brought out of Egypt and by a Prophet Israel was Preserved.

Children, you are a better Wave than your Parents.

In the Mighty Name of Jesus Christ – That is why I Pray for you again and again: You will be Greater than your Parents – Amen!

The Father is a Wave, the child is the New Wave.

So, before the Father leaves, he has to give birth to a New Wave that will take over and continue the job.

And when we talk about the Father Producing a more Glorious Wave than himself, as a child we are not just talking about Biological father and Biological son now – We are talking about Spiritual Father and as well as Spiritual Sons and children.

That is why I have always Prayed this Prayer: Everyone of you my children, you will be Greater than I – Amen!

My God will see to it that where I stopped, that is where you will begin – Amen!

And I will give you examples that will be easy for you to understand:

1. Take the example of Eli.

Eli was a Great High Priest of God.

Oh, it doesn’t matter what Problems he had; when his Biological children were not going to behave very well God decided to use Eli to decree the birth of a Spiritual Son who will be far far Greater than himself.

And you know that Son – Samuel.

In 1 Samuel 1:9-20, it was Eli who decreed to Hannah: Your request shall be granted to you.

The result was a boy called Samuel – Who became the first King Maker of Israel (1 Samuel 10: 1-24).

Eli was a Great High Priest but Samuel was a Prophet so Mighty that God says his words will never drop to the Ground.

2. Or you know very well – You know Elijah.

When you talk about a Wave of Glory, Elijah was Glorious – He was a Glorious Wave.

He was a Man you could call the Fire Eater.

You read 1 Kings 18:36-39 and I am sure they might have taught you in the Sunday School that Elijah Prayed a Prayer – Very Short Prayer and fire fell from Heaven.

And when the time came, when he must leave; his own Wave must give birth to a New Wave and what did he do – 2 Kings 2:9-15; he said to Elisha his adopted son: Son I’m about to go; what do you want?

The son said: I want a Double Portion of your Spirit and he said you are asking for something too Big. But I will make sure that you get it because he said if you see me when I’m taken away from you, you will get want you have asked for.

And of course the son said if it is seeing you then I have already got it.

In 2 Kings 2:9-15, the father gave birth to a Man of Double Portion Anointing – A Bigger Wave, a more Glorious Wave than himself.

3. Or take David – The giant killer.

I mean you know David – He killed Goliath (1 Samuel 17).

You can read his beautiful story from Verse 1 to 51 (1 Samuel 17:1-51).

When everybody was running away, David said I will tackle Goliath – He tackled him and he killed him.

Do you know that before David died, he gave birth to Solomon? – He gave birth to his son who became the Temple Builder for God (2 Chronicles 5:1-2).

When David said I want to build a House for You Oh God, God said No! Not you – Your own Wave is ending, your own Wave has been tainted with blood but you will give birth to a son who will be a Higher Wave; a more Glorious Wave. He will build my House.

Solomon said God had said that I will dwell in thick darkness but he said I have built a House for God.

Children, in the Name that is above every other names: As a result of this Year’s Convention (RCCG Annual Convention 2021), you will be a New Wave of Glory – Bigger Wave of Glory than your father can ever be – Amen!

So shall it be in Jesus Name – Amen!

You know one thing about Children, about the Glory of Children – Probably the most beautiful thing about it is that they are easy to carry.

Oh the Bible tells us in Mark 10:14-16 – He said: When they brought Children to Jesus Christ and some People were trying to drive them away, Jesus rebuked those People.

And anyone who is trying to hinder you Children from coming to Jesus Christ, I rebuke them today in Jesus Name – Amen!

And when they came to Jesus, Jesus carried them in His Hands – Congratulations!

Children, you are carryable – God can Pick you up and carry you in His Mighty Hands and Place His hands on your head and bless you.

But for those of us who are Adults or who considers ourselves as Adults, God wants to carry us too.

He said in Isaiah 46: 4 – He said I’m the one who made you, I’m willing to carry you even to Old Age, even to Old Age.

Don’t let us be too Proud to be carried by God, don’t let us get too heavy to be carried by the Only One who can carry the whole world in the Palm of His Hands.

So, during this Convention, I want to appeal to all and sundry become like a Child – Let God carry you, let Him lay His Mighty Hands on your head, let Him bless you.

Even you fathers and mothers, no matter how Old you are – You are not there yet. God can yet give you a New Wave of Glory even before you Pass on the baton to your children.

This Convention – The 69th Annual Convention 2021; can mark a Brand New Beginning for everyone – Amen.

Everyone who is willing to be carried by God.

ALTAR CALL

And of course: You know that God is not going to carry a sinner because His Eyes are too Pure to behold sin.

So, if you want God to carry you like He will carry a little baby and lay His Mighty Hands on you and bless you. And you know that you are still living in sin, why don’t surrender your Life to Jesus Christ now – His Blood will wash away your sins and then you will become carryable to Him.

Afterall He says: If you accept Him, you can become a Child of God – Not an Adult but a Child.

So, if you want to give your Life to Jesus Christ, wherever you are Please your heads before the Almighty God and call on Him to Please save your Soul and use His Blood to wash away your sins so that you can become a Child of the Living God.

Shall we Pray!

CLOSING PRAYER

My Father and my God, I want to Thank You for the Glory of Children.

Thank You for these Children that are so Precious that You said that they are Your Heritage, they are Your Reward.

I Thank You for all Children, all over the world taking Part in this Year’s Convention.

Father, I know You will take care of them, I know You will carry them in Your Hands and You will bless them.

Now, I’m calling on You Lord God Almighty to Please consider those who are surrendering their lives to You today, Please save their Souls also.

Let Your Blood wash away their sins and let them become Part of the family of God.

And all of us who are already Part of the family, Please during this Convention; carry us Oh Lord – Carry us in Your Mighty Hands. Lay Your Mighty Hands on us and give us a Brand New Beginning, give us a New Wave of Glory.

And if we have to leave before you return, Please Lord God Almighty let us Pass the Glory unto our children.

In Jesus Mighty Name we have Prayed – Amen!

Praise the Lord – Halleluyah!!!
