OPENING PRAYER
Father Almighty –
We love You, we worship You.
We bless You, there is no one like You –
You are the Almighty:
You are Stronger than the Strongest,
You are Richer than the Richest, You are Wiser than the Wisest, You are Older than the Oldest.
And yet You are the I am that I am,
You are the Unchangeable Changer – We worship You.
Father, Please accept our worship in Jesus Name.
Father, we want to Thank You for the Youths and the Young Adults –
We Thank You for everything you have already done for us in the Past, we Thank You for the Greater Things you will do for us in the future.
Father, Please accept our Thanks in Jesus Name.
During this Convention, my Father and my God, visit the Youth and even all Members of DMC in a very Special Way.
In Jesus name we have Prayed – Amen!
Praise the Lord – Halleluyah!
Well, I want the Youth to really shout a Big Halleluyah wherever you are – Halleluyah!!!
I hope you Youth you know you are very, very Special because like I have always said I belong to your Club.
Anyone who is Older than I is old, anyone who is Younger than I is a Youth.
So, those of us who are less than Seventy Nine (79) Years old, we are Youths.
So, once again let all the Youths shout a Youthful Halleluyah – Halleluyah!
Tonight, we want to talk to you very briefly on: “THE GLORY OF PURITY”.
Our Bible Text is taken from Proverbs 20:29 – It says:
The Glory of Young Men is their Strength: and the beauty of Old Men is the grey head.
*… The Glory of Young Men is their Strength – Oh Thank God for the Youths because they are Strong.
In 1 John 2:14, Apostle John says: I write unto you, Young Men, because you are Strong.
… The Glory of the Youth is their Strength.
The interesting thing is that the Old Men used to be Strong once and when their Strength begins to wane, the Youth come in as a New Wave to support the Old.
- Take David for example – In 1 Samuel 17 from the beginning to the end (1 Samuel 17: 1-end).
You see David is a Giant killer – He was a Young Man, he killed Goliath, the Champion of the Philistines.
But in 2 Samuel 21:15-17, the Bible said the same David went to war against the Philistines with his Army and in the middle of the battle he waxed faint.
Age has come, the Man who killed Goliath single handedly became tired in the mist of serious battle and one of the brothers of Goliath thought here is an opportunity to avenge my brother.
But thank God there was a Young Man there who came to the rescue of David and killed that brother of Goliath and got David out of trouble.
The Old Men were Strong once. As they grow older, they become feeble.
The Youth because of their Strength are expected to move in as a New Wave to succor the Old.
- Take another example, Moses in Exodus 17:5-13 – When the Amalekites came to attack the children of Israel on their way to the Promised Land. Moses by then was well over eighty (80) Years Old; went to the Mountain top to Pray and Joshua stayed in the Valley wielding the sword.
So, you see combination – The Elder was on the Mountain Praying, the Youth was in the Valley dealing blows upon the enemies.
Beloveth Young Ones; use your Strength as a New Wave of Glory for the Almighty God.
Where it appears as if your Parents are getting tired, jump into Action – Leave no gap for the enemies.
Your Glory is based on your Strength!
I could remembered very well a Saturday here in Nigeria when I Preached Eight (8) Sermons in One (1) day – Eight (8).
I won’t even try that now.
I remembered one time here in Nigeria when I went A-fishing one December – We left Port Harcourt (Rivers State in Nigeria) early in the morning; travelled stopping along the way – Benin (Capital City of Edo State in Nigeria), Owo (Ondo State in Nigeria), Akure (Capital City of Ondo State in Nigeria), Ilesha (Osun State in Nigeria), Osogbo (Capital City of Osun State in Nigeria), Offa (Kwara State in Nigeria), Ilorin (Capital City of Kwara State in Nigeria) by road.
We got to Ilorin (Capital City of Kwara State in Nigeria) by 8:30pm – We left Port Harcourt by 6 ‘o clock in the morning.
Those who are with me in the car thought Thank God we are now going to rest.
And I said we still have one more Station to visit – We are still going to Jebba (Now in Kogi State in Nigeria).
We got to Jebba (Kogi State in Nigeria) by 11:00pm.
By the time we got there of course the People who were waiting for us thought that we were not coming so they had left.
We located them, we slept by 1:00am.
I woke them up by 5:00am the next day that we must be on our way.
I won’t try that now – I won’t try to travel by road from Port Harcourt (Rivers State in Nigeria) to Jebba (Kogi State in Nigeria) in one day. That would be madness.
But when the Elders seem to be waning in Physical Strength; that is why God has Provided the Youth and the Young Adults.
If only you can do what we have done, we would have a New Wave of Glory.
Use your Strength for the Glory of God
Now, but the Strength of the Youth depends on God.
David said in Psalms 144:1 – Blessed be the Lord my Strength, who hath taught my hands to war and my fingers to fight.
David said that I got my Strength from God – He is my Strength.
Isaiah 40:28-31 spoke about a God who is never tired.
And went on to say even the Young Men shall grow faint and even fall.
Young men do grow tired – It is only those who wait upon the Lord that will have their Strength renewed.
Youth Strength is derived from the One who gives Strength to the weak.
… That is where the issue of Purity comes in!
The One who supplies your Strength, the One you connect to, the Electrical means to which you can Plug so that your heating coil can remain forever hot, insist that you must be Holy.
1 Peter 1:15-16 – Be ye holy for I am holy.
Why? – Amos 3:3 says: Two cannot work together except they be agreed.
Listen to me beloved Youth, beloved Young Man, beloved Young Woman, you must be Pure.
Why? – For your own Good; that your Strength that is to be your Glory may not be contaminated. You must be Pure.
You must be pure to avoid Physical contamination – Exodus 15:26.
Don’t ever listen to those who tell you to go and sow your wide holes, if you sow wild holes you will reap wide holes.
If you try what some People say, they are trying you and you will Pay for it.
There are many deadly diseases in the world today that are as a result of contamination, contamination, contamination.
You must be Pure so that you are not contaminated Physically.
You must be pure so that you are not contaminated Mentally.
Proverbs 22:24-25 says: Don’t befriend an angry Man.
You befriend an angry Man, he will contaminate you – You will become like him and you get ensnared for your Soul.
That’s what the Bible says.
… You choose your friend wisely.
Proverbs 13:20 says: If you walk with the Wise, you will be Wise but the companion of fools shall be destroyed.
… That is the Word of the Lord.
Who is your friend?
Be Pure!
Be Pure so that you are not contaminated Socially.
You don’t chill with jut anybody – No, No, No!!!
The Bible made it Clear – 1 Corinthians 15:33 says:
Evil communication corrupts Good Manners!
You know what that means?
Evil communication corrupts Good Manners!
The Elders have a saying – The Sheep that walks with the Dog, sooner or later will eat faeces.
It will!
What are you doing with someone whose ways are not in the ways of the Lord?
Be Pure Socially!
I don’t know if you had of the Testimony of a Sister who went abroad and then she was invited to a Club where there were many People from a Particular Nation.
You know, you are welcome, come, come and socialize with us.
And they were selling, they were Passing drugs amongst themselves there.
And there was a Black Man in the Secret Society of the Country, who was there that day to arrest this People.
That fellow sat down, saw these People speaking their Local Language which apparently he knew very well. And he saw that this fellow is not talking their Language,
After he had signalled to the Police to begin to come, he moved close to that fellow and said you are not Part of this group: get out of here – Get out now, you are not Part of this group.
That lady was just getting out of the door when the Police arrived.
What kind of People are you hanging out with?
Listen to me my beloved Young ones, if your Strength is not to be contaminated Socially – Watch Out!
To avoid Spiritual Contamination, keep yourself Pure!
Proverbs 21:16 made it clear: “He that wandereth out of the way of Understanding shall remain in the Congregation of the dead”.
Why are you associating with People who are not walking in the Way of the Lord?
Sooner or later they will move you into their club. Before you know it, you will join one cult or the other.
If you wander out of the way of Understanding, you will end up in the Congregation of the dead – That is the Word of God.
And then of course: Be Pure so that you are not Maritally contaminated – And that is very important!
*I Pray for those of you who are yet to be married: In the Mighty Name of Jesus Christ, you will not marry the wrong fellow – Amen!
Because if you do, let me tell you the Plain Truth – For you, hell begins here on Earth.
… You married the wrong fellow (laughs) – Oh she is beautiful!
Yes she is cute
She is ……….
Does she fear God?
Is she a Child of the Living God?
Oh he is a handsome Young Man, you know there is no one like him.
Is he a child of God?
Because if you marry a wrong fellow, hell begins for you on Earth as you won’t have to wait for it till you die.
2 Corinthians 6:14-18, the Bible made it clear:
Don’t be unequally yoked with Unbelievers.
… Don’t! Don’t! Don’t!
Oh no after I’m married to him I will change him; Oh I will convert him – You will convert who?
(Laughs)
Just one case Study and I will close.
Consider Samson – He was a Young Man – Strong.
Judges 14:5-6 – Wiih his bare hands he tore a Lion into two.
Are you that Strong?
Judges 15:11-19 – With the jaw bone of an Ass, he killed a thousand of the enemies.
Are you that Strong?
But then you know the result – You know in Judges 16; you can read it from verse 1 to the end (Judges 16: 1-end).
You saw what happened – Because he became contaminated, he lost his sight, he lost his freedom and he died before he could fulfill his Destiny!
Be Pure my Brother!; Be Pure my Sister!
If anybody says to you: Why are you behaving like this? why are behaving as if you are Holier than, than everyone else?
Tell them: I know where I am going! – I don’t want my strength contaminated.
Be Pure!
Be Pure and your Prayers will not be hindered (Isaiah 59:1-2).
God is still answering Prayers Provided there is no sin separating between you and Him.
Be Pure and you will reach your Goal.
All you have to do is Study Joseph – He was told by God even in his Youth that he was going to be Great; that everybody in his family is bowing to him.
He reached his Goal because he refused to compromised.
Whence somebody offered him illicit sex, he had enough sense to say no way.
I have talked to you Youth about the “GLORY OF PURITY”.
I Pray that the Almighty God will let your heart receive this Message, apply it to yourself because in the Name that is above every other names; even when the Elders are moving on, you will be the NEW WAVE OF GLORY – AMEN!
ALTAR CALL
Of course, we can’t even be talking of Purity if you have never known Salvation.
Because a sinner is called a sinner because he sins but you can become Pure if you come to the Lord Jesus Christ.
He says in His Word – His Blood can wash you and make you whiter than snow.
You come to him now, you can begin afresh.
And according to the Word of God, you come to Christ everything will become New for you.
And if you give your life to Him today and you run away from everything that has to do with sin from now on, He will give you a New Beginning and you will be a Part of the NEW WAVE OF GLORY.
In the Mighty Name of Jesus – Amen!
So, if you want to give your Life to Jesus Christ wherever you are; if you bow your heads now I will join you in Prayer and the Almighty God will save your Soul and He will give you the Grace to live a Life of Purity, a Life of Holiness, a Life of Strength from now on.
Shall we Please Pray!
CLOSING PRAYER
My Father and my God, I am committing all those who are surrendering their lives to You today into Your Hands, – I’m asking Lord that you look down with Mercy Particularly on these Young ones: Save their Souls Lord, let Your Blood wash away their sins, receive them into the family of God and separate them from every ungodly relationship and give them the Grace Lord God Almighty to live a Life of Purity so that they will be Strong for you forever.
And I Pray Lord God Almighty that they will reach their Goal and they will be a New Wave of Glory even after their Parents might have gone to Glory.
In Jesus Mighty Name we have Prayed – Amen!
Praise the Lord – Halleluyah!!!
Oh, those of you who have given your Life to Jesus Christ, Please contact us as soon as Possible so that we can continue to Pray for you.
And the rest of us, Please call unto God yourself for Grace to live a Life of Purity from now on.
So that the Almighty God can renew your Age like the Eagles in Jesus Mighty Name – (Amen)!
Praise the Lord – Halleluyah!!!
