The One who has never lost a War, the One who reigns Supreme, the One who is the same Yesterday, Today and Forever; the King of Glory Himself – Glory be to Your Holy Name.
Thank You for Monday (Day 1), Thank You for Tuesday (Day 2), Thank You for Yesterday (Wednesday, Day 3), Thank You for today (Thursday, Day 4), Thank You for in advance for tomorrow (Friday, Day 5) – Please, accept our Worship in Jesus Name.
Tonight Father, fight all our Battles for us and give us Total Victory.
In Jesus Mighty Name we have Prayed – Amen.
Well, let someone shout Hallelujah – Hallelujah!
And now, I want you to wave your hands to two (2) or three (3) People and say: Good Evening; God will fight your battles for you – Amen.
And then you may Please be seated.
Let me Welcome you once again to a New Wave of Glory!
I used to introduce to you our Guest Speakers but someone told me that I shouldn’t do that anymore because he said that there is None of our Speakers who is a Guest – They are all Members of the family.
So, shall we just clap for our Speakers – They are Part and Parcel of us and so not Guest at all.
Tonight, I have been asked to speak to us on: More Than Conqueror.
But I need to make some little bit of explanations.
You see, anytime there is a Major Gathering like this; there could be two (2) distinct Approaches to a Topic.
I. Now, one of the Approach is an Outreach.
An Outreach is when you are reaching out to People – People who are not yet in the Church; sinners and you want to bring them in.
… So, we call such a Program an Outreach!
For example; the Holy Ghost Congress in December is an Outreach – That is why you find out that everyday, every Topic is the kind that People will clap, shout and Jump.
… An Outreach!
II. But the Second type of Gathering is an In-reach – When you reach inwards to those who are already inside.
So, the Annual Convention is an In-reach Program – It is supposed to be a Gathering where we look at ourselves; where we discuss issues about those of us who are already Children of God, on our way to Heaven.
We want to discuss how we are going to finish Well and finish Strong.
Of course because the Bible says that you are to love your neighbour as yourself; we will throw a little bit of Outreach into the Annual Convention Program.
Like tomorrow (Friday, Day 5) for instance; the Holy Ghost Service Night; that is an Outreach Program and that is why you found out that the kind of People on Friday is always more than other days because it is an Outreach.
And incidentally, we will move to the New Arena tomorrow (Friday, Day 5) and the Old Arena will be opened as an Overflow.
Incidentally, the Lord has already told me the Theme for the Holy Ghost Congress in December 2021.
You want to know it; it is a Good News.
The Theme is: “THE SIEGE IS OVER”.
If you can just make it in December 2021; you can continue to rejoice because the Theme for this Year’s Holy Ghost Congress (2021) in December is: THE SIEGE IS OVER!
Now tonight, I want to talk about “More Than Conqueror” from the Perspective of an In-reach – Not an Outreach.
Life is war from birth till you leave this world.
Even when you are being given birth to; it is war!
I mean Genesis 38:27 says that when a woman is in labour; she is travailing.
After you are born – As a mater of fact, the moment you arrived on Earth; you begin to cry because suddenly as small as you are, you realised that the battle had started.
I mean if you are born and you did not cry; the Midwives will Pick you up, hold your head down and begin to slap your back.
What are they saying?
Hey, you don’t realised what you have come into – Cry my friend.
And the first thing that they do – God have Mercies on Midwives. The first thing they do is to cut off your Source of Supply – The Umbilical Cord.
… That which has been supplying you food when you are in the womb.
What do they do? – Cut it off!
I mean where you are coming from in the womb; you didn’t have to make any efforts – Food is just coming!
And you know what? – The Temperature there is Controlled: The Right Temperature all the time inside Mama’s womb.
But you come out – Welcome to the world.
And then you begin to grow and you have to fight all manners of enemies – Known and Unknown!
Matthew 10:36 – The Lord Jesus Christ Himself said: A Man’s foes will be they of where? – His own Household.
If God shows you how many Relatives of yours wanted you to die at infancy; it will surprise you.
… Thank God that you survived!
Let every Survivor shout Hallelujah – Hallelujah!
And when we talk about Household enemies:
I. it could be your dad or your mum.
Or you didn’t believed me – Genesis 27: 1-end.
A mother Plotted against her own son – Papa wanted to give the Blessings to Esau, Mama manipulated the matter so that it was Jacob who got the Blessings.
What about Isaac himself?
He said: Ha, Ha; this is the Voice of Jacob.
Why didn’t he wait?
Your enemy can be somebody very close to you!
You know I have always wondered when God said to Abraham: Go and sacrifice Isaac to me.
And Isaac asked Papa: I can see the wood, I can see the knife, I can see the fire; where is the Lamb?
Papa began to quote the Bible – God will Provide.
Hey! – And I am the Provision? God have Mercy on Papa.
II. What about In-laws – When you marry?
Oh, read 1 Samuel 18: 10-11 and you will see an In-law throwing Javelin at a Son-in-law.
… Thank God for God!
III. That is not to talk of Principalities and Power; Witches and Wizards; Herbalist and what else?
Ephesians 6:12 talks about all the People that we are wrestling with – War from Day Number 1. That is even if you don’t die anyway.
And this warfare like I must have spoken to you before; there are Possibilities:
- It can be Less than Conqueror.
I. A man is less than Conqueror when God is fighting against the Fellow.
I mean like in Jonah 1: 1-end – God said to Jonah: Go to Nineveh; he decided to go to Tarshish.
God said: Fine, I will deal with you!
II. Or it could be God withdrawing His Supports.
Joshua 7: 1-12 – If God is not supporting you, you will fail.
III. Or God forbid – If God has even completely forsaken someone.
Judges 16: 18-end – That is the case of Samson.
In all of these cases; the Fellow is less than a Conqueror – He is a loser!
- This is the Conqueror.
And you are a Conqueror if God is supporting you to fight.
In 1 Samuel 17: 34-51 – David said: A Lion came against me, I killed the Lion; a Bear came, I killed the Bear. For Goliath, the God that delivered me from that Lion and Bear, He will take care of Goliath.
And the King said: Go and the Lord be with you.
The Lord went with him and he won.
In Joshua 10: 1-14 – God fought with Joshua and there was Victory.
I Pray for everyone of you tonight inclusive those reading now on the Label of DMC: My God will be with you – Amen.
- When you are More Than Conqueror.
And I have explained that before – That is when God is fighting for you – When He gives you Victory without you fighting.
You know in Deuteronomy 28: 1-7 – The Almighty God said that if you hearken diligently to my Voice – To observe and to do all that I commanded you; He said that the enemies that rise up against you will be smitten before your face.
… You are not the one that will do the smithing – God said that I will do it.
So, if they come against you one (1) way; they will flee seven (7) ways.
In Exodus 14: 1-28 – When Pharaoh with all his hosts came after the children of Israel; the children of Israel don’t have to fight – All that they did was that they just moved forward after God has opened the Red Sea.
My Prayer is that God will fight for you – Amen.
But that is an Outreach – Let us look at it from the Point of view of an In-reach.
Proverbs 16:32 says: He that is slow to Anger is better than the Mighty and he that ruleth his Spirit than he that taketh a City.
Your Biggest Enemy is not the devil; it is not your mother, not the Witches, not the Wizards – No, No, No.
I mean that as a child of God, you know yourself.
The Bible says that Greater is He that is in you than he that is in the world.
The Bible makes it clear that you are More Than Conqueror through Him that loves you.
… God loves you!
Your Number One (1) Enemy is Yourself!
The one who is truly More Than Conqueror is the one who has conquered Himself!
The Greatest Victory you could ever get is the Victory over Yourself!
And I’m going to spend some few minutes showing you the Truth about this!
- Let us begin with something called Pride.
Proverbs 29:23 says: The Pride of a man shall bring him Low.
What does that mean?
Witches don’t have to worry once you are Proud – Pride will do the job.
You know why?
Because James 4:6 says: God resists the Proud.
If you are Proud; you are fighting against God – How can you ever win when your opponent is God?
How? What Methods are you going to use to defeat God?
Oh, Thank God that I am not Proud!
You see, the biggest Problem about Pride is that Proud ones don’t even know that they are Proud!
They call it other “Beautiful Names” – Self Respect, Self Confidence, I am just Colouring my Position.
… Lord have Mercy!
Do you have any Position?
When David was dancing like a Commoner when he was a King – His wife looked at him and say what is wrong with you? You are a King, Honour your Position Men! How can you be dancing like a Commoner?
David said: I am dancing for the One who made me King – He Makes and He can Unmake. Promotions come from Him, He raises Up one and Put down another.
Pride shows when it is time to Praise God – Look at those who do it very well: Children because they don’t know anything yet; they don’t respect their Position; they don’t feel it.
We went to hold the Holy Ghost Service (HGS) in one of the Campuses (University of Lagos, Nigeria) and you should have seen the Vice Chancellor (VC) dancing – Dancing more than the Students (The Students who don’t know anything yet).
And God looked down from Heaven and saw that.
So, when some weeks later the enemies rose up to remove him; the Lord of Host decided that I will remove the enemies instead.
When you humble yourself; God fights your battle for you!
Pride even show when we ask you to shout Hallelujah.
So, People ask me: How can you be this Humble considering all what God has done for you?
… And without doubt; God has been very Gracious to me!
I mean one of the Topmost Magazines in the world Put me as one of the fifty (50) “Most Influencial People” in the world.
… God has been Good!
And you hear me say: Sir, to my Driver.
Why? – Because God loves me and He talks to me intimately.
And I will remind you of what happened after Lekki 98 – One of the biggest Program we ever held.
DMC NOTES: Lekki 98 was the First and Inaugural Holy Ghost Congress that was held by the RCCG Mission on the Sea Shores of Lekki Penissula Beach in Lagos Nigeria on the 18th of December, 1998. The Press put it on records that over Four Million People gathered on the Sea Shores to listen to God Ministering through our daddy, Pastor E.A Adeboye
We came here (Redemption Camp) at Night and I was Praising God saying Thank You for the Mighty Things He has done.
Between 2am to 3am – I knew the exact Spot where I was on this Campground and I suddenly heard His Voice: Son, bend down!
Quickly I bent down because this Place was Jungle then – Maybe a Witch was flying Past.
And He said: Draw the Figure of a Man in the sand – And quickly, I draw the Figure of a Man (Zero for Head, Lines for Body and Hands).
And then He said to me: Stand Up.
I stood up – By now, I knew that this is not going to be a Small Discussion.
He said: Wipe out what you have drawn with your leg – I did!
He said: Son, if you ever forget the One who is in Charge; I will wipe you out. Nobody will ever remembered that you came into the world!
You still want me to be Proud after that? You think I’m crazy?
You must conquer Pride tonight!
Do I hear your Amen – Amen.
- Sexual Lust – You lust after the Opposite Sex.
I know that there are some People who will tell you: Once you are Born Again, you are a Child of God, you can do whatever you like – Fool around with the Opposite Sex; it doesn’t matter and you will still make it to Heaven.
Read it – It is there in the New Testament (Not Old Testament).
1 Corinthians 3:17 written by the Apostle of Grace said that you are the Temple of the Almighty God.
And you defile His Temple? – He will destroy you!
He didn’t say that I will send an Angel to do it – He said He will do it Himself!
So you think: Adultery and Formication is something to be toiled with? Are you Mad? You think that you can toil with Divine Destruction?
When God destroys; He does a Good job because our God is a Consuming Fire!
When Fire burns, there is No Science yet that can turn ashes to what it was before Fire came!
- What about Food?
Hey Food! – God wants you to eat to have Strength to continue to do the work of God.
Some People however have turned Food to a god.
Philippians 3:19 says that the belly of some People is their god.
And it says that the End of such People is Destruction.
Why are you doing this? – He said (response) that I must eat.
Why are you cutting corners? – I must eat.
Ha, Food for the belly; belly for Food; both of them will be destroyed!
No, Food is not my enemy Pastor; you got it wrong?
Why do you groan when we announce a Fast?
How come you don’t shout for Joy when I said that you are going to Fast?
You know that in the Month of July, we normally Fast at least two (2) Weeks; if not for the whole Month.
But this Year (2021); I announced to my Pastors – Senior Pastors to go and tell the Congregation that since we already Fasted for sixty three (63) days at the beginning of the Year (2021); all we need to do is to top it up with seven (7) days.
They were glad!
I thought that they will say to me: Daddy, only seven (7) days?
They beamed with Joy!
I was never a Faster before – The first (1st) time that Someone told me that I was to Fast for three (3) Days and three (3) Nights without Food; I called him a Murderer.
But God gave me Victory – He will give you Victory (Amen).
The Lord Jesus Christ Himself said that there were certain demons that cannot go out except with Prayers and Fasting.
How did I get my Victory?
Oh God helped me – Once I have decided how many days I will Fast: Forty (40) Days and Forty (40) Nights; I will go to the Calendar, count the number of days and mark it. And I will tell my belly: After that day, you will get Food.
The belly will grumble.
When you are on a Fast, everywhere that there were Restaurants that you didn’t know before will be discovered.
But tell the devil that you are a liar.
From tonight onwards or even as you read it now on the Label of DMC: Your belly will no longer be your Master – Amen!
- Talkativeness – They just want to talk!
And yet it is clearly stated – Proverbs 12:13 says: The wicked is snared by his lips.
It is written in Matthew 12:36 – Your best friend, the Lord Jesus Christ said: Every idle words that you speak; you are going to give an Account in the Day of Judgment.
What does that mean?
The less you talk; the better.
Because everything you are saying is being recorded to be used against you on the Day of Judgment.
Don’t let me say too much on that.
There are some of you; they just want to talk, they must be heard – Why don’t you just keep quiet?
I was in a gathering with Big Men and then there was one fellow there – When everybody is speaking, he must say something.
After some time, I say: Sir, you think you know more than everyone of us? If you just learnt to keep quiet, you might learn something.
… If you let others talk, you might learn something!
- What about this issue of something in your Life that you know is wrong but you say it is not too bad.
There are some things that you do and you know that it is not Good but you say it is not too bad.
Have told some of you before: By the time you say: It is not too bad; it means that it is already bad but just looking for an Adjective to qualify bad.
Let me just give you two (2) quick examples in the Bible of two (2) Great Men who has just little habits that they just take a cup of Wine occasionally:
I. But then when you read Genesis 9: 20-25; the Bible tells us that Noah has three (3) sons.
The Great Man of God who survived the Flood but he has this habit of just taking little Wine occasionally.
And one day, he just took one cup too many and became drunk.
When he woke up, he Pronounced a curse on one of the three (3) sons he had.
And said: Servant of Servants will that fellow be.
… He cursed his own Legacy!
II. There is even one that is worst – Genesis 19: 30-38.
That is about Lot: Rescued from destruction but he too has a little Problem of just a little Wine occasionally.
And the two (2) daughters got him drunk – One after the other; slept with him.
And he Produced Children by his own daughters.
He Produced two (2) families that if you go through the Scriptures; you don’t want to hear what God is saying about them.
… Not too bad? – Check it. You must overcome it.
If it is not too bad; it is already bad!
- But because they say: Half a Word is enough for the Wise because by now; I’m sure that you are beginning to check.
Let me mention one more – And that is Anger!
We all know clearly that nobody gets angry without a reason – Somebody must have Provoked you.
But Ecclesiastes 7:9 says: Anger rest in the bosom of Fools.
And like I taught those of you who has attended the School of Disciples (SOD): Whenever you feel Anger welling up, quickly tell yourself: Don’t be a Fool!
I mean consider such a Great Man as Moses – Numbers 20: 1-12.
He had been Labouring for God for forty (40) Years – Leading the most difficult Set of People.
But just before he got to the Promised Land; he lost his temper.
Watch it! – Anytime something is trying to make you angry; quickly check. The devil is about to spring an attack.
… Refuse to be Provoked; refuse to be Angry!
And I can tell you several Stories where the Almighty had delivered me from what could have been catastrophe because He gave me the Grace to refuse to be Angry.
I will tell you two (2) quick Stories and then the rest is up to you tonight:
I. Several Years ago; we are going to hold a Congress in Ondo Town (Ondo State Nigeria).
The Choir has been Practicing – They wanted to go with me so that they could sing at the Congress.
A day before Departure, Somebody convinced my father in the Lord that not all the Choir should go – Only half should go.
And they ran to me: Sir, you are the only one who can speak to your father in the Lord to let all of us go – We have all been Practicing!
So, I went to my father in the Lord; he said No, the decision has been taken.
Who did this?
And Anger began to well up in my heart.
And you know that when you feel that kind of Anger; you qualify it – You call it “Righteous Ignation”.
But the Holy Spirit spoke to me straight: You dare not be Angry.
In the Name of the One who sent me; I decree to all of you including those reading now on the Label of DMC: From now on; you will never be Angry again (Amen).
So quickly, I cool down fast and told the Poor People who could not travel that I’m sorry, there will be other times.
And so we went to the Place where we will have the Program.
And my Cousin, his wife To-be and five (5) other People were in a small Volkswagen Beetle car and at the very gate of the Venue, they had an Accident – A bus hit them from behind, Push them into the mouth of another Vehicle and smashed the car with seven (7) People inside.
DMC NOTES: Smashed means violently or badly broken or shattered.
… They all came out alive!
When I heard the News, Daddy spoke to me: If you had been angry; the blood of seven (7) People would have been on you.
I decree once again: For the rest of your Life, you will never be Angry again – Amen!
II. One more Story – I just want to remind you. There was a Man, his only Problem was Anger.
You know; when the Bible says that Anger rest in the bosom of a Fool; it is simply saying: If you are Angry, you are like a Mad Man.
Anger is Temporary Madness!
That is why you hear People say: I was Mad with him.
… And they say it with Pride!
This Man has this Problem – When he is Angry, he can do anything.
So, he bought a Brand New car, Parked it Infront of the House, rejoicing.
And his son took something sharp (A Nail or something) and went and began to scratch on the New car.
And this Man saw it: Ha, my New car! You this boy!
And the first thing he saw was a hammer – And he smashed the hand of the boy and the boy screamed.
By the time he cooled down a bit, he saw that the finger of the boy had been smashed.
So, he rushed the boy to the Hospital.
And when they got to the Hospital, the doctors said that there is nothing we can do – They amputated the fingers.
So, the following day; he went to see the boy in the Hospital and the boy said to him: Daddy, when will my fingers grow again?
He came back home sad and went to the car – What was it that the boy wrote on the car anyway?
The boy had written on the car: Daddy, I love you!
The Man committed suicide.
You want to be More Than Conqueror; conquer yourself so that Jesus Christ can help you!
ALTAR CALL
So, if you are here and you are not yet Born Again; come to the Only One who can give you Victory over Yourself.
Come to Him: Let Him first of all wash away your sins; let Him take care of the sins of the Past before you now begin to talk to Him about Total Victory over Yourself.
So, if you want to give your Life to Jesus Christ; I will count from one (1) to ten (10) – Before I say ten (10); Please come and Stand before the Altar. We will call on God together and He will save your Soul.
Don’t let Pride hold you down – If you are not yet saved; you know it.
Come – It doesn’t matter what anybody may think. If you are concerned about what others may think; that is Pride.
But come now and let Jesus Christ save your Soul.
I’m counting now!
Now, those of you who are already Infront and those of you who are already on the Way; cry to Jesus Christ tonight.
Tell Him: Lord, I’m serious. I want You to save my Soul; I want Your Blood to wash away my sin – I will serve you; I want to be one of Your Children.
I mean Business Lord; Please have Mercy on me, save my Soul.
And the rest of us; let us stretch our hands to these our Brothers and Sisters and Pray that the One who saved our Souls will save their own Souls also.
Let us cry to God that God will give them a Brand New Beginning, that God will give them Genuine Salvation tonight.
Let us cry to God for them – Please, Pray for them, intercede for them.
Thank You Father.
In Jesus Mighty Name we have Prayed – Amen.
PRAYER FOR SALVATION AND CLOSING PRAYER
My Father and my God; I want to bless Your Holy Name for Your Words and I want to Thank You for these wonderful Children of Yours who has come to surrender to You today.
Please receive them, save their Souls, let Your Blood wash them clean, write their names in the Book of Life, receive them into the Family of God and from now on; anytime they cry unto You, Please answer them by Fire.
And let them serve You till the very End.
In Jesus Mighty Name we have Prayed – Amen!
Now, I rejoice with those of you who has come forward.
I want to assure you by the Special Grace of God that from now on; I will be Praying for you.
The Counsellors will give you some Cards that you will fill – Your names, your Address, your Prayer Requests. I Promise you that I will be Praying for you.
Now, we want you to join us in the Next Prayer that we are all going to Pray.
How many of you want to be “More Than Conqueror” tonight? – Let us Stand on our feet.
Let me hear you shout a very Big Hallelujah – Hallelujah!
The Prayer you are going to Pray is similar to the one you Prayed at the beginning – These things that you must overcome, you can’t do it on your own except God helps you.
Cry unto God and say: Father, fight my battles for me; Give me Victory over myself.
… Go ahead, cry unto the Almighty God!
Thank you so much for staying all through to read.
