  • PRINCIPLES OF EXCEEDING EXPECTATIONS: PASTOR BELEMINA OBUNGE – RCCG ANNUAL YOUNG ADULTS AND YOUTH CONVENTION 2021, DAY 2

    PRINCIPLES OF EXCEEDING EXPECTATIONS: PASTOR BELEMINA OBUNGE – RCCG ANNUAL YOUNG ADULTS AND YOUTH CONVENTION 2021, DAY 2

    RCCG ANNUAL YOUNG ADULTS AND YOUTH CONVENTION 2021

    THEME: EXCEEDING EXPECTATIONS

    MINISTERING DAY 2 (MORNING): PASTOR BELEMINA OBUNGE (INTERCONTINENTAL YOUTH PASTOR, RCCG)

    TOPIC: PRINCIPLES OF EXCEEDING EXPECTATIONS

    DATE: 27TH SEPTEMBER, 2021

    BIBLE TEXT: ISAIAH 8:18

    Call: Exceeding
    Response: Expectation

    Now listen, when I shout: We are; I want you to answer by saying: Exceeding Expectations.

    Do you get that?

    We are Exceeding Expectations!

    It is my believe, it is my Prayer that by reason of your being in this Conference; the DNA, the Life Style of Exceeding Expectations shall be your lifestyle in the Name of Jesus – Amen!

    I believe that by reason of being Part of this RCCG Youth Convention 2021; somebody shall be tapping into the Grace of Exceeding Expectations – Amen!

    You can’t be in the Redemption Camp
    And not tap into the Grace of our Father-in-the-Lord because Daddy GO is a Man that exceeds Expectations.

    And I believe there is someone listening to my Voice or reading now on the Label of DMC: The Bible says the Glory of the later shall be Greater than the Former. I stand to declare for someone here: As you continue, that Grace of Exceeding Expectation will rest upon you in the name of Jesus – Amen!

    SONG

    You are Great
    You do Miracles so Great
    There is no One else like You
    There is no One else like You

    For You are Great
    You do Miracles so Great
    There is no One else like You
    There is no One else like You

    … Repeat!

    OPENING PRAYER

    Unto He who is able to do Exceedingly Abundantly above All
    that we ask, think or do; unto He who is the Almighty, unto He who is our God, our Father, our Maker; be thou exalted in the Name of Jesus.

    Unto He who has created us in His Image with a DNA of Exceeding Expectations, be Glorified in the Name of Jesus.

    And I ask Oh Lord! as we connect with Your Words; that Grace of Exceeding Expectations be released unto us in the Name of Jesus.

    Blessed be thy Name!

    In Jesus Glorious Name we Pray – Amen!

    I believe I would be Permitted to come down and you may be seated.

    And Isaiah 8:18.

    Isaiah 8:18 tells us something that is Pronounced – Behold, I and the children whom the LORD hath given me are for Signs and for Wonders.

    Tell your neighbour:
    I am a Wonder to my Generation!

    You see when we talk of Exceeding Expectations; we are talking about: Being Bigger, being Better and going Beyond.

    I declare unto someone here: You shall be bigger than those that are your Superiors in the Name of Jesus – Amen!

    In the works of your hands; you shall be better than those that have gone before you in the Name of Jesus – Amen!

    And I Stand to declare: Whatever that has been a barrier; you are going beyond that barrier in the Name of Jesus – Amen!

    Let someone shout:
    I am exceeding Expectations.

    When is your time – Now!

    You see there was someone in the Bible called David – He had the DNA of Exceeding Expectations.

    In whatever David did; that DNA of Exceeding Expectations was in him

    Is there anyone here today listening to me or reading now on the Label of DMC that connects with the DNA of Exceeding Expectations?

    Is there anyone like that? – Because you are created in the Image of God.

    I Stand in Agreement with the Word of God, you will Exceed Expectations in the Name of Jesus – Amen!

    There’s the Grace: Grace to do what? – Exceeding Expectations.

    There is something Unique about David.

    Some of you can’t understand David’s Lifestyle – David’s Passion towards God was such that even though he was a Teenager, because he was Passionate towards God; every Goliaths that came before him, he pulled them down.

    I am speaking to someone that is Passionate: Every Goliaths before you shall be Pulled down in the Name of Jesus – Amen!

    Somebody that has looked down on you, shall begin to look up and honour you – Amen!

    Before the end of this RCCG Youth Convention 2021; they shall begin to honour you in the Name of Jesus – Amen.

    … Because you are – Exceeding Expectations.

    Just chop knuckle with someone beside you and say: We are Exceeding Expectations!

    I will be sharing with you some Principles of Exceeding Expectations?

    1. For you to Exceed Expectations, Number One: YOU MUST IDENTIFY YOUR PURPOSE.

    You cannot Exceed Expectations when you are working in another man’s Calling, you cannot Exceed Expectations when you are working Outside God’s Purpose for your Life.

    Show me anyone that has exceeded Expectations and I will show you that Person that has identified his or her Purpose in Life and they are working in accordance with their Purpose.

    Too often, we try to imitate others instead of connecting with God’s Purpose for our Life.

    As long as you are a counterfeit, you cannot Exceed Expectations.

    As long as you don’t connect with the Purpose of God for your Life, you cannot Exceed Expectations.

    The Word of God makes it clear in Romans 8:28 – That God will cause all things to work together for your Good.

    … Once you identify with His Call and with His Purpose.

    So, when you are working in accordance with God’s Purpose:

    I. When People are trying to Pull you down, it leads to your Promotion in Life.

    II. When People are ignoring you; God will be lifting you.

    III. When People are telling you – You cannot make it; because God is causing things to work for your Good, all of a sudden you will become a Celebrity because you have identified your Purpose.

    I Stand to declare to someone around here: To someone that heard my Voice or reading now on the Label of DMC: As you identify your Purpose, you shall Exceed Expectations in the Name of Jesus – Amen!

    It maybe in Media, it maybe in Sports, it maybe in Technology, it maybe in Education, it maybe in Diverse Areas but I Stand for someone that heareth my Voice or reading now: As you jump, the Lord shall release unto you that Grace to Exceed Expectations.
    Receive it in the Name of Jesus – Amen!

    You must identify your Purpose in Life!

    David identified his Purpose – They tried to hide him, they tried to reject him but God caused a Problem to come forth so that David’s Purpose could be made manifested.

    For someone here
    God will allow a Problem to come out so that he will Position you to be celebrated, to manifest your Purpose, to Exceed Expectations, in the Name of Jesus – Amen!

    Lift your hands and say: My Father, My Father; as I identify my Purpose in Life, I will Exceed Expectations.
    Help me Oh God.

    Pray that Prayer for 15 Seconds!

    With a Trinity Amen –
    So shall it be in the Name of Jesus – Amen!

    You may kindly be seated.

    1. In the Second instance, for you to Exceed Expectations:
      YOU MUST IGNITE THE POTENTIALS WITHIN YOU.

    Genesis 1:28 tells me: And God blessed Man.

    That means God released into Man Potentials.

    And God said by reason of the Potentials I have released unto you:
    Be Fruitful, Multiply, Replenish, Subdue, Dominate, Exceed Expectations.

    … But you need to ignite the Potentials within you

    Manifested Potentials makes you essential to your Generation.

    And God releases unto you the Ability so that you don’t become a Liability.

    Lift your hands and say: Father, I speak forth by the Power of Your Words; as this Message goes forth, may the Potentials in your sons and your daughters be Stirred up in the Name of Jesus – Amen!

    The Treasure you have deposited in them, may it never be wasted – Amen!; may it bring Greatness into your lives, in the Name of Jesus – Amen!

    2 Corinthians 4:7 tells me that we have a Potential.

    The Bible says we have in us a Treasure so that the Excellency of God shall be made manifest.

    The Treasures are your Potentials, the Treasures are the Gift God has deposited in you; the Treasures are the Blessings of God upon your Life!

    You see, I come from Rivers State – Rivers State is the State that has Treasures.

    … The Treasure base of the Nation!

    But you see, before you get to that Treasure called Oil, you go into the mud.

    You don’t care about the mud because you are going for Treasures.

    I declare in the Name of Jesus: No matter the mud in your life; the Treasure in you shall begin to come forth, in the Name of Jesus – Amen!

    The Excellency of God in you that shall cause you to be celebrated before the end of this Year – Amen; I declare that it shall bring Celebrations to your family, shall bring Celebrations to your Life, shall bring Celebrations to the Church in the Name of Jesus – Amen!

    Beloved, we must ignite our Potentials.

    You may ask what is Potentials?

    I. Potential is that “Dormant Ability” in you.

    II. Potential is your “Untapped Power”.

    III. Potential is that “Hidden Strength” in you waiting to manifest.

    IV. Potential is your “Unreleased Talent”.

    But it is about time that those Talents shall bring celebration into your Life – Amen

    V. Potential is your “Used Success”.

    I believe somebody that has had a History of failure; before this RCCG Youth Convention 2021 comes to an end; there shall be a Turnaround in the Name of Jesus – Amen!.

    VI. Potential is all you can yet become; Potential is all you can yet do but you are not yet doing.

    VII. Potential is who you are but Nobody knows it yet.

    But I believe as we move into the Month of October; somebody here or reading now on the Label of DMC shall be Celebrated – Amen!; somebody here shall move into Significance – Amen!;
    somebody here shall move to a Higher Level of Greatness – Amen!

    Let that Person shout a loud Yea – Yea!!!

    The Bible says: A Man’s Gift maketh room for him and brings him before Great Men – Proverbs 18:16.

    I believe that somebody’s Gift shall cause Great Men to come and rush you. And they shall locate you in the Name of Jesus – Amen!

    As you discover, you implement and you manifest your Potentials; the Great shall call you Great – Amen!

    Tell someone beside you – You are sitting beside Greatness.

    And if there is a Witness; let me hear a loud Amen – Amen!

    Gideon was a Young Man – He did not know what was deposited in him, he was complaining, he was hiding.

    Tell someone: Stop hiding, Stop hiding, Stop hiding.

    Gideon was hiding away because he did not understand the Potentials deposited in him.

    But the Angel of the Lord came and called him: Thou Mighty man of Valour.

    Hey, from that moment the veil covering Gideon’s eyes was removed.

    Every veil covering your eyes be removed by Fire in the Name of Jesus – Amen!

    Every veil that has hindered you to manifesting your Potentials:
    Holy Ghost – Fire!!!
    Holy Ghost – Fire!!!
    Holy Ghost – Fire!!!

    Let someone just celebrate the Lord –
    Hallelujah!!!

    1. In the Third instance, for you to Exceed Expectations: YOU INVOKE THE POWER OF GOD.

    An iron has Potentials but until you put Power, the iron is useless.

    Let someone shout: Power – Power!

    The Lord said: And you shall receive (Power) after the Holy Ghost has come.

    And your Life, your Testimonies shall begin to witness GIA – God In Action.

    When the Power of God is Operational, People begin to see God in Action in your Life.

    I. They begin to see God in Action in your Works.

    II. They begin to see God in Action in your Business.

    III. They see God in Action in Ministry.

    IV. God in Action in Sports.

    V. God in Action in Technology.

    VI. God in Action in your Entertainment.

    VII. God in Action in your Skills.

    Let someone shout: God In Action (GIA).

    You see the Disciples; they needed God in Action – They waited in the Upper Room and the Bible says:
    They that wait upon the Lord, the Lord shall renew their Strength.

    He shall release Power, they shall Mount, they shall Soar, they shall Exceed Expectations.

    If there is a Witness, shout a loud Power – Power!

    They waited for Power!

    Is there anyone that needs Power? Say: My Father, My Father; release Your Power for my Life.

    I want to Exceed Expectations -Turn that into Prayer

    In Jesus Name we Pray – Amen!

    Jesus was anointed with the Holy Ghost and with (Power)
    He began to waka, waka, waka – He went about doing what? – Good; He went about Exceeding Expectations because He had Power.

    I declare and decree: The God of the Redeemed Christian Church of God (RCCG); The God of Pastor Enoch Adejare Adeboye; The God who says once I have spoken, twice you have heard that Power belongeth unto Me – That same God will release Power unto you in the name of Jesus – Amen!

    Receive Power in the name of Jesus – Amen!

    … His Power makes you a Wonder

    Let me just show you this, in Luke 1:34-35:

    The Angel told Mary even though no Man has seen you; you shall bring forth a child.

    What People have never seen? What is beyond Expectations?
    What People have never heard? – Shall be made manifest through you.

    Mary said: How can this thing be? How can I be a Wonder?
    How can I Exceed Expectations?

    And the Angel said: The Holy Ghost shall come upon you. The Power of the Highest shall overshadow you.

    *I am declaring during the course of this RCCG Youth Convention: The Power of the Highest shall overshadow you in the Name of Jesus – Amen!; The Power from Above shall overshadow – Amen!

    In front of you – Power, behind you – Power, on the Right hand side – Power, on the Left hand side – Power.

    … All around you – Power!

    When hell tries to operate against you from underneath, what shall they encounter – Power!

    As the Power of God is released; I declare and decree, you shall be for Wonders – Amen!, you shall Exceed Expectations in the Name of Jesus – Amen!

    1. In the fourth instance, for you to Exceed Expectations:
      IMPROVE YOUR PRODUCTIVITY.

    You cannot improve your Productivity, you cannot remain on the same spot and you want to achieve Greater Height?

    For you to achieve Greater Height, you must climb!

    You see Brethren, the Word of God tells me that you should forget the Old things – And the Lord said that you should be Fruitful in every Good work – Colossians 1:10.

    Never allow any Person to Place a ceiling on your life by telling you, you have tried enough.

    Never say: I have tried my best because I believe someone here can be better than they are right now – Amen! Someone here can put in more Efforts than they have put in times Past.
    Someone here can improve whatever they have done, the Height they have reached in times Past.

    If you are such a Person, lift your hands and shout – Higher!

    Proverbs 1:5 says: A Wise Man will hear, and increase learning

    You cannot come for this kind of Convention and you will not increase in Life.

    You cannot come for a Convention that has been Packaged like this and you remain on the same Level.
    It is an Error!

    I hear the Lord tell me that by reason of somebody hearing my voice or reading now on the Label of DMC: The Lord says, the Wisdom to cause you to be celebrated is being released unto you now – Amen!

    Receive in the Name of Jesus – Amen.

    Grow in Grace – Amen!

    That Grace of Exceeding Expectations – Grow in Grace.

    As you lift your hands, the Grace to Exceed Expectations may it increase in your Life in the Name of Jesus – Amen!

    When I joined The Redeemed Christian Church of God (RCCG) in Year 1983; we were using an Auditorium near the gate – 100m by 50m.

    It was the largest Auditorium, I have seen in my Life and I thought that was big enough.

    But once I came for Convention and I realised that the Auditorium had increased.

    Before we could say Jack Robinson, we filled that Auditorium and we moved to another Auditorium eight times bigger with Increase, Improvement.

    That Auditorium was massive but little did I realised that it was the Children Auditorium.

    After a few Years, our Father-in-the-Lord said we have not yet started and that we must increase, we must improve.

    Now we are in an Auditorium 3Km by 3Km and we have not yet started.

    By the Grace of God, the largest Auditorium in the world – 3Km by 3Km is right here in the RCCG Redemption Camp and I believe that there is someone that is connecting to that Grace of Improvement, of Increase is being released unto you in the Name of Jesus – Amen!

    Receive it in the Name of Jesus – Amen!

    Improve your Productivity:

    I. If you have been working well; work better.

    II. If you have been working better; Work much better.

    III. If you have been working much better; Exceed the much better.

    IV. If you have been Exceeding the much better; do Abundantly Above the much better.

    V. If you have been doing Exceedingly Abundantly much better, do Exceedingly, Exceedingly, Exceeding Above the much better.

    At every facet of your Life – Exceed Expectations!

    For those of you that are working in your office, you must celebrated for Exceeding Expectations.

    In the Church, you must be celebrated –
    You must be known for Exceeding Expectations.

    With Talents and your Gifts; you will be renowned by reason of Exceeding Expectations.

    But you must improve
    You must Improve!

    Thank God for the Internet; thank God for knowledge that is released and so you have no excuse!

    Kindly lift your hands again and say: Daddy, the Almighty God; we connect with the Grace and the Mandate upon The Redeemed Christian Church of God (RCCG), upon our Father-in-the-Lord. And I declare as many hands are lifted all over the world: Because The Redeemed Christian Church of God (RCCG) is a Global Brand; these ones shall become Global Brand’s in the Name of Jesus – Amen!; Because you have lifted The Redeemed Christian Church of God (RCCG), I declare lifting be the Portion of your children in the name of Jesus – Amen!

    Listen Brethren: You may be dumped in a corner; People may have forgotten you but the Bible says: Underneath us are the Everlasting Hands of God. Because your Season has come, the Eyes of the Lord shall go forth and the Lord shall locate you and lift you – Amen!

    Underneath you are His Everlasting Hands – He shall lift you above shame, above Reproach, above Limitations, above Atrocities, above those that are mocking you – Amen

    Because His Hands are not Limited, your lifting shall not be limited – Amen and you shall be Exceeding Expectations in the Name of Jesus – Amen!

    When is your time – Now!

    1. In the Fifth instance, for you to Exceed Expectations is: YOU MUST BE AN INNOVATIVE PERSON.

    Don’t forget the Bible tells us: I will do a New Thing (Isaiah 43:18-19).

    Remember not the former things – It says: I will do a New Thing.
    When shall it spring forth – Now!

    Innovation: Doing an Old Thing in a New Way. Coming up with Ideas that the Lord release unto you.

    Kindly put your hands on your head – And why don’t you say: My Father, my Father
    I receive Inspiration for Innovation.

    Pray that Prayer in the Name of Jesus!

    I receive Inspiration for Innovation in Technology, in Science, in Arts, in Entertainment. With my Skills, with my Gifting in Ministry, in Government, in Economics, in Finances – I receive Inspiration for Innovation.

    Receive it in the Name of Jesus – Amen!

    Romans 12:2 says: Be not confound to this world.

    Be not confound by what others have said, be not confound with the Mindset of Others because your Mindset determines your footsteps.

    Don’t be confound but be ye transformed.

    Transformed by the renewal – Innovation
    Renewal of your Mind to Prove the Good Acceptable and Perfect Will of God

    As you have placed your hands on your head; I declare the Renewal of your Mind to give you Innovative Ideas.

    Receive it in the Name of Jesus – Amen!

    For that Challenge, for that Problem, for that situation; the Renewal of your Mind to begin to operate with innovation – Receive it in the Name of Jesus – Amen!

    What I heard the Lord tell me now is that before the end of this Year; someone that is here or listening to me on the internet or reading now on the Label of DMC – You shall be Celebrated by reason of an Innovative Idea – Amen!

    In Nigeria, you shall be celebrated by reason of an Innovative Idea – Amen!

    Don’t hold it back, go forth in the Name of Jesus – Amen!

    I want someone to just say: I am going Forward!

    Beloved, I Stand in the office of Intercontinental Anointing and I declare that in Africa, you shall be celebrated – Amen; in Europe, you shall be celebrated – Amen; in Asia, you shall be celebrated – Amen; in Australia, you shall be celebrated – Amen; in the Americans, you shall be celebrated – Amen.

    Globally, by reason of Innovation, you shall be celebrated in the Name of Jesus – Amen!

    Lift your hands and say: My Father, my Father; I reject every yoke of Limitation operating over my Mindset.

    Pray that in the Name of Jesus!

    The world is about to celebrate The Redeemed Christian Church of God (RCCG) in a unique dimension.

    Members of The Redeemed Christian Church of God (RCCG), and other Members of any other Missions of the Body of Christ connecting with this Programme; I declare Innovative Spirit is released in the Name of Jesus – Amen!

    1. For you to Exceed Expectations, make sure in whatever you do: YOU INSTILL PASSION.

    David was a Passionate Person.

    In Psalms 69:1, he said: The zeal of my father’s house has eaten me up.

    Whatever you see me do, I do with zeal –
    When I Praise God, I Praise God with Zeal;
    I manifest my Talent with zeal; I conquer Goliath with zeal; I give to the Glory of God with zeal – 24/7 zeal!

    He said the zeal of my father’s house has eaten me up – You don’t see me, you see the zeal of God all over me.

    That’s why the Bible says in Ecclesiastes 9:10: Whatever your hands finds to do, do with thy Might.

    Passion: This is an Outward Drive driven by Inner Conviction.

    … An Outward drive that comes about by an Inner Conviction.

    If you are not convicted, you cannot be Passionate.

    Passion is fuel to your Vision, Passion drives you, Passion delivers you, Passion distinguishes you.

    The Bible says: Don’t be Slothful in Business – Be fervent, be Zealous, be Passionate in spirit serving the Lord.

    Why don’t you say: My Father, my Father; by the Power of Your Word; I receive a New Level of Passion in the Operation, in my Lifestyle, in my Operations, in my Lifestyle.

    I receive Passion, I will manifest Passion.

    Pray that in the Name of Jesus.

    In Jesus Name we Pray – Amen!

    You see Brethren; you cannot fake Passion.

    I speak forth the Grace to be Passionate, the Grace to reject Slothfulness, the Grace to move with Passion – May that Grace be released unto you in the Name of Jesus – Amen!

    Lift your hands and say: Oh Lord, I reject every Spirit of Slothfulness. I am not your Candidate in the Name of Jesus!

    In the corridors of my Assignment, in my Day-To-Day Life; I reject Slothfulness; I am not your Candidate in Jesus Name we Pray – Amen!

    Kindly lift your hands
    As from today – The 28th Day of September 2021: May New Level of Passion be made manifest through you in the Name of Jesus – Amen!

    That Level of Passion that shall bring Relevance and Significance; that level of Passion that shall cause you never to be ignored, that level of Passion that will enable you to Exceed Expectations – Receive it in the Name of Jesus – Amen!

    Every Slothful Agents operating over your Life; every Slothful Spirit operating over your Life; Holy Ghost – Fire!!! (2ce)

    I want to see someone run with Passion – Hallelujah!

    Thank you, Jesus
    (Praying in Tongues)
    Thank you!

    In Jesus Name we Pray – Amen!

    1. Finally Brethren, for anyone to Exceed Expectations; you need to invite His Presence.

    You need His Presence!

    Moses said till I have Your Presence, I am not continuing with any Assignment.

    The Disciples waited for His Presence to be made manifest.

    Simon Peter toiled all Night and he caught Nothing.

    As he connected with the Presence of Jesus Christ; he exceeded Expectations.

    We need His Presence
    (Praying in tongues).
    In Jesus Name we Pray – Amen!

    When I was Praying for this Meeting, the Lord said: I am ready –
    I am ready to release the Grace for My Children to Exceed Expectations.

    But the Lord said that some of My Children are not yet ready.

    The word of God tells me in Isaiah 59 that there is one stumbling block – It is called sin.

    The moment Samson compromised, he no longer exceeded Expectations.

    While praying for this Meeting, the Lord said: He is ready to release the Grace for you to exceed expectations – Amen!

    He said but I am a God whose Words never fails – Isaiah 59.

    The Lord said there is something called Iniquity, something called Compromise, something called Sin that Pollutes the DNA of God in you, that hinders your manifest in that Grace.

    I heard Two hundred –
    The Lord said there are at least two hundred (200) Persons here who have missed out on that Grace – Out of Pressure, out of Challenges, out of Situations. They have missed out of that Grace.

    The Lord said: I am connecting them with that Grace today – Amen!

    He said without me, you can do Nothing.

    But when you abide in Me and my Words abide in you; you shall bear much Fruit, you shall Exceed Expectations – Amen!

    Some People may need to move back a while but okay, you may be here.

    If you are amongst those two hundred (200) – You realised that you have missed it in times Past, you have missed it, you have compromised out of Pressure.

    You have missed it and you are saying: Lord, today I want to make my ways right
    I want to tap into that Grace

    I may have missed it but I have not missed this Programme.

    I may have missed it before but today I am tapping into that Grace.

    If you are amongst those two hundred (200) and you are saying: Lord I want You to give me a New Beginning, I want to put my ways right with You, I want to live a Life of Holiness. I have missed it before but today I am asking you to help me.

    ALTAR CALL

    If you are amongst those two hundred (200) just lift your hands I will Pray with you.

    If you are amongst those People and you are saying today
    I am re-dedicating my Life; If you are amongst those two hundred (200) you can Please kindly go back to your seats while those two hundred (200) just stay close to this Altar now.

    If you are amongst those two hundred (200); just stay close to this altar – The others we thank God for your Life: The Lord is doing something New today.

    If you are amongst those two hundred (200) just stay right by this Altar.

    Thank you, Jesus!

    SONG

    I surrender all to You
    Everything I give to You
    Withholding Nothing (2ce)
    I surrender all to You
    Everything I give to You
    Withholding nothing (2ce)

    I give myself away (2ce)
    So You can use me

    SONG

    When I am down and, oh my Soul, so weary
    When troubles come and my heart burdened be
    Then, I am still and wait here in the Silence
    Until You come and sit awhile with me.

    You raise me up, so I can Stand on Mountains
    You raise me up, to walk on Stormy seas
    I am Strong, when I am on your Shoulders
    You raise me up to more than I can be

    OPENING PRAYER

    Father, we are Trusting You for a lifting at this Hour.

    We are tired where we used to be; Please take us to another Level as we Exceed Expectations.

    In Jesus Precious Name we have Prayed – Amen!

    Father, we made welcome the Holy Spirit and we give Jesus Christ a really Big Hallelujah.

    Brothers and Sisters and everyone watching us Online inclusive those reading now on the Label of DMC at this time – I have been asked to Minister to us very quickly in: “BREAKING FINANCIAL LIMITATIONS”.

    … You want to Exceed Expectations; you need to break every forms of Financial Limitations

    The Bible told us in 3 John 1:2 – It said: Beloved, I wish above all things that thou mayest Prosper and be in Health, even as thy Soul Prospereth.

    I. “Thou Mayest Prosper” is talking about Financial Prosperity.

    II. “Being in Health” which is Physical Prosperity.

    III. “Even as our Soul Prospers” which is equally Spiritual Prosperity.

    So, it is God’s Ultimate desire for each and everyone of us to Prosper Financially!

    That is why He said: “I wish above all things” – Much more than you could think; God wants us to Exceed Financially.

    I have come to discover that if you are want to break every forms of Financial Limitations; you need to have the Keys that Unlock Financial Bondage!

    I. A Limitation is that thing that kept you down.

    II. A Limitation is that thing that Prevent you from rising.

    III. A Limitation is that thing that kept you on a spot.

    IV. A Limitation is that thing that will not allow you to Exceed Expectations.

    V. A Limitation is that thing that want you to stop where your fathers stopped.

    Today, I Pray that everything that kept you down Financially; they shall be broken in the Name of Jesus – Amen!

    Everyone of us, in one way or the other has been limited Financially – I have come to realised that all Classes of People: The Rich and the Poor; many have suffered Financial Bondage and Captivity.

    Poverty is like a Cancer – It is something that will not allow you fulfill Divine Mandate!

    And so, if you must break Financial Limitations; you need Financial Dominion and Financial Freedom!

    Financial Freedom is breaking off the shakles of those things that kept you down.

    An Adage says that: The Rich also cry.

    It is not far fetched that though we have some People that are Rich but they are still under Financial Bondage or they are still battling with Financial Limitations.

    I used to have an Uncle – He is no more today.

    But several Years back in Ibadan in Oyo State Nigeria; I visited him and on getting to his house I noticed that for Months my Uncle in the early 80’s God blessed him and he was able to Purchase a Peugeot 505 – Evolution, it was called.

    We covered it everyday – Maybe once a week, we remove the tarpaulin that was used to cover it and wash the car and then cover it back (DMC Note: A Tarpaulin is an heavy-duty waterproof cloth)

    He was one of those God blessed in the family who was able to Purchase a “Fabric Sofa” and also refused to remove the nylon. All the foams in all the rooms were covered with nylon

    And I told his wife – What is the Purpose of a car if it is not fulfilling its Purpose? Why should a car be covered?

    So, I removed all the nylons on the chairs, on the foams and everything.

    And my Uncle came back and was very furious – Do you know how much I bought it? Do you know that it will get spoilt on time?

    I said: Uncle, the fact that you are rich means that you should know the Usefulness of Money – You must be in Charge of Money and Money should not control you.

    1 Timothy 6: 17-19 – The Bible says:

    1. Charge them that are rich in this world, that they be not highminded, nor trust in uncertain riches, but in the Living God, who giveth us richly all things to enjoy.
    2. That they do Good, that they be rich in Good works, ready to distribute, Willing to Communicate.
    3. Laying up in Store for themselves a Good Foundation against the time to come, that they may lay hold on Eternal Life.

    … How many things? – All things!

    Beloved Brethren; the Purpose of being Wealthy is that you should do Good – Willing to Communicate, ready to Distribute!

    In other words: The Purpose of God Blessing you is to have the Mindset, the Understanding that Wealth in this Kingdom is about the Distribution and not about the Accumulation!

    The Bible says: Laying Up the Stores for themselves a Good Foundation against the time to come that they may lay holds on Eternal Life.

    I. God is Blessing you so that you can share with Others.

    II. God is blessing you so that you can know the Purpose and the Usefulness of Money.

    III. God is blessing you so that you can Communicate Wealth to Others.

    Anything outside of this is not of God!

    So, Wealth in this Kingdom is about its Communication and not about its Accumulation!

    Why do we need to break off from Financial Limitations?

    The reason is Simple – Because of the Pains of Poverty

    Proverbs 19:4 says: Wealth maketh many friends; but the Poor is separated from his neighbour.

    If you have money, you see a lot of People floating around you.

    If the Lord had blessed you, you see many People coming to you. But once you are Poor Beloved Brethrens, you Stand alone.

    … A lot of People don’t associate with Poverty.

    Proverbs 10:15 buttress the same Point: The rich Man’s Wealth is his Strong City: the destruction of the Poor is their Poverty.

    Money is Good Beloved Brethrens – No wonder the Bible says that: Money answereth all things.

    Even though Money is not everything as I will like you to know that Money has its own Limitations.

    Money is Good for the Prosperity of the Kingdom of God but equally, Money has its own Limitations!

    For Example:

    I. Your Money can buy you a Waterbed but cannot give you a “Sound Sleep”.

    II. Your Money can guarantee you all Medical Services in the world but the Money cannot keep you alive.

    We have a lot of People that has access to Money but Money fails when Sickness comes!

    III. Your Money can cause a Rich Man to marry a Beauty Queen but you should also agree with me that Money cannot guarantee that Man to win a Love.

    IV. Your Money can give you all the Security Gadgets in the world but your Money cannot guarantee you “Maximum Security”.

    V. Your Money can buy you any Judgement in the world today but of course we know that your Money cannot buy you “The White Throne Judgement”.

    The Truth of the matter is that Money has its Limitations and that is why we need to break off from the Pains of Poverty.

    It is a terrible thing to be Poor.

    When you consider the Pains of Poverty:

    I. You are treated as Underlined.

    II. Poverty cause People to move away from you.

    III. They look down on you.

    And that is the reason why the Need today to Exceed Expectations in the area of Finance!

    And I’m trusting God Almighty that He will grant us the Opportunity, the Grace and the Privilege to break every Financial Limitations in the Name of Jesus – Amen!

    For the records, I will like to stress this quickly: Money comes from God – Financial Dominion, Financial Lifting only comes from God!

    Deuteronomy 8:18 says: But thou shalt remember the LORD thy God: for it is He that giveth thee Power to get Wealth, that He may establish His Covenant which He sware unto thy fathers, as it is this day.

    Money comes from the Lord – And so if there is anyone here or those reading now on the Label of DMC; trusting God for Financial Breakthrough, you only need to “Look Up” to God who is the Source!

    Because if you are disconnected from the Source; it is just a matter of time as you will soon lack Resources.

    Psalms 66:12 says: Thou hast caused Men to ride over our heads; we went through fire and through water: but thou broughtest us out into a Wealthy Place.

    Coming to a Wealthy Place is only orchestrated by Divine Presence and by God Himself!

    … You can’t come into the “Wealthy Place” if God did not Permit!

    I want to salute God’s General – Pastor Matthew Ashimolowo for he has done so much on this Topic on Day 4 Afternoon Session on the Topic: Change Your Mindset

    But you know the Truth of the matter is that: The Horse is Prepared against the Day of battle but Safety is of the Lord.

    Long Lasting Money only comes from God – If God is the One that blesses you, then no enemy can curse you!

    I also like you to know that: Even if such People take Shortcut to Wealth; Shortcut are liable to cut their Life short!

    Proverbs 28:20 – The Bible says: A Faithful Man shall abound with blessings: but he that maketh haste to be rich shall not be innocent.

    Another Translation says: … Shall not go Unpunished.

    Many People are not Willing to wait upon the Lord – A lot of People are looking for “Jehovah Sharp Sharp”; they want to cut corners to make Wealth.

    And that is why you see a lot of Ritual Killings in the world today because People are Willing to cut corners.

    What is the Purpose of the Kind of Wealth you acquired at the expense of your Health? – Because eventually, you will spend the whole Wealth in trying to recover your Health.

    Proverbs 13:11 – The Bible says: Wealth gotten by Vanity shall be diminished: but he that gathereth by Labour shall Increase.

    Pastor Matthew said that there is no “Bad Money” on Day 4 Afternoon Session. That Money only takes its Colourations from its Handlers – Money is just a Legal Tender but the one who is handling the Money is the one who determines if the Money is Clean or not.

    Money is essential – Many of us gives Money different names:

    I. In Church, we call it Tithe or Offering.

    II. When you borrow it from the bank; it is called a Loan.

    III. When you are Paid for a Whole Month Service, it is called Salary or Wages if Paid Daily/Weekly.

    IV. When you wrongly received it to Pervert Judgement, it is called Bribe.

    V. What you give to a Waiter for Service rendered is called Tips.

    VI. What you collect after Retirement is called Pension.

    VII. What you Paid during a Marriage rite is called Dowry.

    VIII. What you Paid in Court when you make a Divorce and you are asked to Pay for it is called Fine.

    IX. What you Paid to Kidnappers when someone is suddenly Kidnap is called Ransom.

    X. What you get as a Reward offered for Increased Productivity for Essential Services is called Incentives.

    XI. What you get as a Compensation for Service is also called Emunulment.

    XII. What you Pay in School is called Fees.

    XIII. What you Pay to your Landlord is called Rent.

    XIV. Pastors, what you received after Ministrations is called Honorarium.

    Money is Good but there are Keys to unlock the world of Financial Prosperity.

    You can’t break Financial Limitations until you Possess these keys.

    Money is of Value and wherever Valuables are kept, there is a Door that seals it up!

    And that is why you need keys because if you don’t have these keys; you may be frustrated in your attempt looking for one.

    In these Service, as God opens my eyes to see; I am going to release to us six (6) keys to break every Financial Limitations:

    KEY NO 1: THE KEY OF OBEDIENCE

    Obedience that is not Absolute is impotent.

    Deuteronomy 28: 1-2 – The Bible says:

    1. And it shall come to Pass, if thou shalt hearken diligently unto the Voice of the LORD thy God, to observe and to do all His Commandments which I Command thee this day, that the LORD thy God will set thee on High above all Nations of the Earth:
    2. And all these Blessings (All Blessings your Heart desires) shall come on thee, and overtake thee, if thou shalt hearken unto the Voice of the LORD thy God.

    Many times, the Voice of the Lord is sounding so loud but the Voice of the People and the Voice of Reasoning overriding it.

    Beloved Brethren, you have not taken a Step into breaking Financial Limitations until you fulfill the Key of Obedience.

    The Bible says in Isaiah 1:19 – It says: If you are Willing and Obedience, you shall eat the Good of the Land.

    Every Land has its own Goodies and it takes your Willingness, it takes your Obedience to unravel it.

    Many People are Willing but only a few are Obedient.

    And many of the Divine Blessings are arranged and well Packaged in our Obedience.

    Ninety Nine Percent (99%) Obedience is not required when it comes to this Kingdom – It takes One Hundred Percent (100%).

    Imagine a Man that left home to come to Church – Singing as he is coming and all of a sudden get to the Church and an Usher (Slim or Short) said: Good Morning sir, Please can you sit down here?

    And you look at the Usher: Don’t you know who I am? We are the Leaders here; we know where to sit. You must be one of the New Ushers that just came to Church – God Bless You, I know where to sit.

    And you go ahead to take another seat which was not assigned to you by the Usher standing there – Who happened to be “The Power that be”.

    The Bible says that the Power that be are Ordained by God.

    Listen to this – This is the implications: That Usher Standing there represent the Authority of the Pastor; the Pastor represent the Authority of the General Overseer; the General Overseer represent the Authority of Heaven.

    … Now, the Bible says that: The Power that be are Ordained by God.

    That Usher may be little before you but once you disobeyed him/her; and you take another seat, you miss your Blessings for that Service because where he/she asked you to sit; that is where Heaven in accordance to His Words has Programmed your Blessings!

    Do you now see the reason(s) why many People come to Church but only a few had come to the Knowledge of Christ.

    In the Book of 1 Samuel 15: 12-23 – Here you see the Story of God giving King Saul a Second Chance.

    He first gave him opportunity in 1 Samuel Chapter 13 but Saul could no longer wait because in the Bible there are no King/Priest – You are either a King or a Priest.

    Saul at that time happened to be a King but the Bible tells us that Israel will not go to war until a Sacrifice had been made.

    Saul was expecting Samuel to come and Perform the Sacrifice and at that Junction, a lot of People has left him because he was busy waiting.

    Israel will not go to war until Sacrifice has been made.

    Now, the enemies had gathered together in Michmash and in Mount Bethel ready to wag war against the children of Israel.

    And the Bible says immediately King Saul offered the Sacrifice – Which only a Priest could have offered.

    Why did Samuel delayed?

    Because of the aftermath of the Statement made; I believed that he must have been in Consultation with the Trinity – Asking God we don’t need to be changing Kings, let the Kingdom of Saul reigned forever.

    And God said that I have told you that I will give you a Man after my own heart; a Man that will obey Me when I instruct – I will give you a Man that his Loyalty will be to Me.

    And Samuel said: Please Lord, we don’t want to be Changing King and God said that on one Condition – If you maintained your Prayer; go down there. If you meet Saul waiting for you, his Kingdom will be forever.

    … Which means that there won’t have been anything called “King David”.

    But Saul couldn’t wait – He said because I saw the People scattered from me and you have not come according to the Time Appointed; I therefore force myself to offer a Sacrifice which only a Priest would have offered.

    And Samuel said that you have done foolishly – He said that your Kingdom over Israel would have been established forever. He said now, the Kingdom will not continue.

    Can I Pray for somebody in the House or reading now on the Label of DMC: May your Kingdom not be discontinued on the Account of Disobedience – Amen.

    In 1 Samuel Chapter 15; God gave him another Chance – Go and destroyed the Amalekites; destroy the King and everything that breathes there.

    What did Saul did?

    He said that the People said that I should spared the fatling (DMC NOTES: A Fatling is a Young animal that has been fattened in readiness for slaughter.) and also equally spared the King.

    As soon as Samuel returned, he said: What have you done?

    He (Saul) said that the People said that we should make Sacrifice to the Lord.

    And Samuel said: Did the Lord delight in Sacrifice other than obeying His Voice?

    This is why Obedience is a “Mega Key” in this Kingdom – You cannot do without it. If you want to Exceed Expectations; the Number One Key is Obedience.

    So, Samuel said: For to obey is better than Sacrifice and to hearken than the fat of rams.

    I wish Saul could see into the Future and know the reason why God will give such a “Brutal Command” – Destroy everything that breathe including the children that sucks?

    Why will God give such a Command?

    Because there is a Tribe that Wickedness is in their DNA.

    DMC NOTES: DNA, or deoxyribonucleic Acid, is the Hereditary Material in Humans and almost all other Organisms. Nearly every cell in a Person’s body has the same DNA. … The information in DNA is stored as a code made up of four chemical bases: adenine (A), guanine (G), cytosine (C), and thymine (T).

    I know that many of you has not thought about this: Have you ever asked yourself what was the Offence of Mordecai to Haman? Why is it that Haman wanted Mordecai dead by all means?

    Someone said that it is because Mordecai refused to bow down to Haman.

    But the Truth is that this is not enough to attempt to finish his entire race.

    But when you attempt to dig into their Foundations:

    I. Who was Mordecai?

    The Bible says that Mordecai is the Great Grandson of a Benjamite of Jerusalem named Kishi; the father of Saul.

    II. And who was Haman?

    Haman the Agagite; the surviving Grandson of King Agag that Saul spared. His father is named Hammedatha.

    So, somehow: Haman must have heard in History that it was the Generation of Saul that wiped out his race.

    Many atimes when you refused to finish a battle; you might be Passing it to another Generation.

    … That will not be our Portion in the Name of Jesus – Amen!

    KEY NO 2: THE KEY OF FAITHFULNESS.

    You want to break Financial Limitations; you need the Key of Faithfulness.

    Proverbs 28:20 says: A Faithful Man shall abound with Blessings: but he that maketh haste to be Rich shall not be Innocent.

    Luke 16:10 says: He that is Faithful in that which is least is Faithful also in much: and he that is Unjust in the least is Unjust also in much.

    Many of us say: Oh God, try me with Money then You will know that I love You; You will see that I will bless You.

    And God will begin to try you with #1,000 – He wants to be sure that when you receive #1,000; #100 will not be too much for you to Pay as Tithe.

    … He that is Faithful in that which is least, shall be made to oversee much.

    Your Financial Ability is what determines your Financial Capacity!

    You remembered the Story of the Talent – The Bible said that the Master gave one of his Servants five (5) Talents, he gave one two (2) and gave that Man one (1) Talent.

    And the Man went to hide it.

    But there is something the Scriptures said – It says: He gave them according to their “Several Abilities”.

    Meaning what?

    Your Financial Ability is what determines your Financial Capacity!

    God has no Problem of releasing Wealth – He is not just a Waster of Resources. He wants to be sure that: What you are asking for, you can manage it; what you are asking God to give you, you can handle it.

    Because if you can’t, God is not willing to waste Kingdom Resources.

    What you are Trusting God to receive at the end of today; are you Prepared for it?

    You are asking God to give you Twenty Million Naira (#20,000,000); and you don’t have a Bank Account?

    If He releases the Money, where do you want to keep it?

    Preparation is the Mother of Manifestation – This you need to understand!

    You need to start Preparing for the Next Level that you are Praying for – Prepare for it!

    You want God to increase you Financially; then you need to enlarge your Heart so that your Heart can accommodate that which is Coming.

    If you have a Problem of Paying Tithe and yet you are Trusting God for Billions – The little God has given you, you are not Faithful!

    Listen to this: Faithfulness thrives on three (3) things:

    I. The Fear of God.

    Ecclesiastes 12:13 says: Now, let us hear the Conclusion of the whole matter: Fear God, and keep His Commandments: for this is the whole duty of Man.

    Lack of the Fear of God has caused some People to eat what they are not supposed to eat.

    When you eat your Tithe, it is as Good as eating Sand Paper which will not digest.

    … As Believer, we were trained to know this.

    Right from Childhood, it has been Part of us – Check out your Grandparents in the Village; with the little, little things they are receiving; they don’t joke with their Tithes.

    These are Men and Women of Wisdom – Even in their Old Age, they know their Right from their Wrong.

    If Grey hair cannot teach you Wisdom; I believe that it is not Internet that will teach you Wisdom!

    II. Faithfulness thrives on the Sense of Contentment.

    You need to know that what you have now is enough for now – Don’t kill yourself, don’t copy anybody, don’t try to be like A or B.

    … What you have now is enough for now.

    If you need God to increase what you have, then you need to enlarge your Heart, enlarge your Capacity!

    It has always been the Problem of Handling Capacity, not the Problem of God releasing His Blessings!

    … What you have is enough for now!

    Trade with what you have, invest in what you have – That what you have, make use of it!

    Everyone that God blesses, who are at the Point of collapsing Financially; God always ask them: What do you have in your hands. No matter how little it is.

    Because when the Blessings is coming, it will only Increase that which you have in your hands!

    What you have now is enough for now but you can get something better.

    III. Faithfulness thrives on the Sense of Appreciation.

    You must always learn how to appreciate People especially Good Things done for you.

    You must learn how to say Thank You for every little, little show of Help that is rendered to you – Don’t be Ungrateful!

    Even Jesus Christ Himself desires appreciation.

    Remember that when ten (10) Lepers were Cleansed – He says: Were they not ten (10) Lepers that were Cleansed? How come it is only one (1) that came back to say Thank You?

    He said that only this Samaritan came back – What happened to the rest? Where are the nine (9)? Probably, they were Jews, they were Brothers to Jesus Christ and they felt that what is the Point in Thanking Him? He is only Fulfilling His Obligations.

    Why should we always say: Thank You to Daddy GO? Afterall, he is our General Overseer; he is our daddy, he is fulfilling his responsibilities.

    I have come to realised some facts – If you have a home and in the same home; your daughter and Probably an Househelp – Imagine the mother of the house goes to the Market to buy undies and you came back home and gave it to them including the Househelp.

    If what you gave to the Househelp is either Bigger Size or Unpleasant Colour; she will never complain – She can only say: Mummy, Thank You because she believed in the first Place she doesn’t deserve it as it is a gesture of Love.

    But your daughter can tell you: Mummy, I have told you to stop buying things for me. You give me Money to go and buy myself because she believes that it’s your Right, it is your Responsibility.

    But even if it is your Right; it is your Responsibility – Learn to be Appreciative!

    If you are married: Appreciate your Spouse, appreciate your children if they do something Good, appreciate your Pastors when they Preach Good Sermon – Some Sermons are not common on the Pulpit.

    Sometimes, I watch some People Preaching on the Television and they are Practically saying Nothing and People are clapping and they are shouting.

    KEY NO 3: KEY OF DILIGENCE

    Diligence as in “Working Hard” not as in “Hard Work”.

    Because Prosperity and Final Breakthrough is not a thing of “Hard Work”.

    Because if it is, those that dig well, they will be the richest but it is a thing of “Working Hard”.

    The Bible says: Seeth thou a Man diligent in Business, he shall Stand before Kings and not mere Men.

    You need to be diligent, you need to work with your whole heart.

    Who is your Example?

    I. God the Father is a Diligent God.

    Genesis 2:8 – The Bible says: And the Lord Planted a Garden at the Eastward of Eden.

    … God did not wish for a Garden. God did what? – He Planred.

    God showed us how to be a Farmer.

    God Planted a Garden, He took the Exercise, He did it Himself, He laid the Foundation.

    … He is a Diligent God!

    II. What about God The Son?

    John 9:4; the Bible says: I must work the works of Him that sent me, while it is day: the night cometh, when no Man can work.

    Jesus also said: My Father worketh, hitherto I work.

    So, God The Son is a Diligent God.

    How do you know a Man with Genuine Anointing?

    You can’t carry Anointing and you won’t be restless; you can’t carry Genuine Anointing and stay in one Place.

    Acts 10:38 says: How God anointed Jesus of Nazareth with the Holy Ghost and with Power: who went about doing Good, and Healing all that were Oppressed of the devil; for God was with Him.

    You need to be diligent.

    III. The God of Abraham, Isaac and Jacob that many of us claimed their Blessings today; this same God is a Diligent God!

    When God called Abraham; God didn’t tell him to rear Cattles.

    But when you checked Genesis Chapter 12; the moment the Blessings came upon Abraham, it was via Cattle Rearing – Abraham became an Herdsmen.

    The Bible says that God increased him in Cattles until he became Great!

    What about Isaac?

    In Genesis Chapter 26; the Bible says that Isaac sowed in the Land even though there were death in the Land; it wasn’t a Palatable Time and Period but yet Isaac sowed and the Bible says that in the same Year reaped an Hundredfold until he became the envy of the Philistines.

    In Genesis 26:30 – And the Man moved Forward.

    In that Scripture, you will find the first “Xenophobic Attack” happened in the Bible – Abimelech says: Go from us because you are much Mightier than us.

    There is a kind of Blessing that is coming upon someone in this Auditorium or reading now on the Label of DMC – After this RCCG Youth Convention 2021; anywhere you find yourself, you will become the envy of your Generation – Amen.

    Jacob was a Specialised Farmer – The first Farmer to use Tractor and Engines to Plough.

    So, if the God of Abraham, Isaac and Jacob is your God; then you must be Diligent!

    Laziness is a Career of Poverty – Do not enrol for such courses.

    Do you know what is it to be Poor?

    P – Pass
    O – Over
    O – Opportunities
    R – Regularly

    When you “Pass Over Opportunities Regularly”; the Bible says the Glory of the Youth is their Strength – When you have the time, seek Him while you still have the Opportunity, while you still have the Chance to do it.

    KEY NO 4: THE KEY OF INVESTMENT

    Ecclesiastes 11:1 talks about Investment.

    The Bible says: Cast thy bread upon the waters: for thou shalt find it after many days.

    Another Translation says: Invest your Money in Foreign Trade; after a while Profit will flow back to you.

    A lot of People are doing Investments.

    And bless the Lord for Matthew Ashimolowo on Day 4 Afternoon Session – He told us a lot of things about Investment.

    But Permit me to add in this Service, Seven (7) Deadly Investment Errors:

    I. Don’t be Greedy – Be satisfied with Reasonable Returns on Investment.

    II. Don’t be deceived by Tricksters who will lied to give you the Price you won in a Contest you did not Participate.

    III. Take time to investigate Investment Opportunities – Don’t be trapped by hasty Decisions on Investment.

    IV. Insufficient Diversification of Investment Portfolios can be dangerous.

    Spread out your Investment and do not Put all your eggs in one Basket.

    V. Never take an Investment Decision without “Appropriate Advice” from a “Professional Adviser”.

    Poverty and Shame comes to him that lives without Instructions – That is what the Book of Proverbs said.

    DMC NOTES: Proverbs 13:18 says: Poverty and Shame shall be to him that refuseth instruction: but he that regardeth reproof shall be honoured.

    We have People in the “Investment World”; seek Advise, seek Counsel.

    VI. You must differentiate between: “Upward Investment” and “Downward Investment”.

    Because “Downward Investment” is an Investment in which you consume on whatever you spend Money upon.

    For instance: You buy shoes, suits – They are all “Downward Investments”.

    Whereas “Upward Investment” is the type of Investment that brings Money into your Pocket.

    This is what the Man called Robert Kiyosaki called Liability and Asset respectively!

    VII. Never incurred debt for Non Productive Purposes.

    Expenses such as Burial Expenses like Clothes, food, Exclusive Drinks or Killing seven (7) cows for the naming of your forth (4th) Child.

    KEY NO 5: THE KEY OF TITHING

    Malachi 3: 8-12 – The Bible says: You have robbed Him if you refuse to Pay your Tithe.

    Everyone must Pay Tithe – It is in the Bible!

    I. Abraham started it – Galatians 3:29.

    II. Jacob continued same thing – Genesis 28:22.

    III. Moses confirmed the issue of Tithe – Leviticus 27:30.

    IV. God Promises a Blessing for it – In Malachi 3: 7-11; there is a Promise if you Pay your Tithe.

    V. Jesus Christ recommended it – Jesus Christ Himself in the New Testament in Matthew 23:23.

    VI. And Jesus Christ Himself received Tithe in Hebrews 7: 7-10.

    Paying Tithe is not what you debate – It is a Command!

    KEY NO 6: KEY OF SACRIFICE

    Beloved Brethren, Sacrifice is not defined by its Volume but by the Value.

    Sacrifice is not what you choose to Give but it is what He wants from you.

    Sacrifice is not to be done where you want but where He Chooses.

    Sacrifice may not necessarily be a “Cheerful Seed” – I know that God loveth a Cheerful Giver but this is Sacrifice.

    … The Bible says: Those that sow in tears, they shall reap in Joy!

    We have Opportunity here again, we should not miss it.

    Do not forget Key No 1 – Which is Obedience!

    That is the bedrock of which every other Keys mounted.

    ALTAR CALL

    You know that you hear or reading now on the Label of DMC and you have not been obeying all of God’s Commandments; I want you to rise up.

    There is Mercy in the House today and we can equally join together and ask God for Mercy.

    There are things God has been saying to you and you have not been doing it.

    Please, run to the Altar quickly.

    Come and say: Lord, I am sorry. Give me another opportunity, another Chance to obey you. I will be Willing to obey you from now on.

    I wish to obey you in Fullness, in Total Beginning from today.

    As you have come; begin to cry to God, repent of all disobedience.

    Go ahead and begin to Pray!

    If you are not yet saved, ask God to save your Life.

    If there is anything that you need to be sure of; you need to be sure of your Salvation.

    Say: Lord, Help me and I now know the reason why I am on a spot.

    Thank You Father.

    In Jesus Precious Name we have Prayed – Amen.

    PRAYER FOR SALVATION

    Eternity in Heaven; I want to Thank You – Thank You for saving these lives.

    Lord, I Pray my Father that You will forgive all manners of disobedience and You will give us another opportunity, you will give us another Chance in the Name of Jesus.

    Give us another Grace so that we can Exceed Expectations.

    Our daddy in the Lord, our Coach has told us on Day 4 during the Session with The Father, that we needed to do more.

    And my Lord and my Father, we have been Praying that the Lord should give us Grace for everyone hearing the Sound of my Voice or reading now on the Label of DMC at this time; Lord I Pray my Father that You will empower us to do far Beyond Expectations.

    Many are waiting for us to fail but we know that with You on our side; we will not fail: You will back us up, You will Support us, You will Help us in the Name of Jesus.

    We surrender our lives to You; Help us, give us a New Beginning.

    In Jesus Precious Name we have Prayed – Amen.

    Glory be to God – Hallelujah!

    SONG

    The God of Abraham, Isaac and Jacob
    Jevohah the Man of War
    His Mercy endureth forever and ever
    Oh Praise His Holy Name

    … Repeat!

    Now, the rest of us; shall we rise to our feet – We will Pray just one Prayer Point.

    Raise your Right Hands and say: My Father; every Financial Captivity, every Financial Bondage; let them be broken off in the Name of Jesus.

    Go ahead to Pray Brethren!

    Thank You Precious Father.

    In Jesus Precious Name we have Prayed – Amen!

    Somebody shout Hallelujah – Hallelujah!!!

  • CHRISTIAN STEWARDSHIP [PART 3]: PASTOR MENSA OTABIL – SPECIAL SUNDAY 3RD OCTOBER, 2021

    CHRISTIAN STEWARDSHIP [PART 3]: PASTOR MENSA OTABIL – SPECIAL SUNDAY 3RD OCTOBER, 2021

    SPECIAL SUNDAY SERVICE BY DR. MENSAH OTABIL (GENERAL OVERSEER INTERNATIONAL CENTRAL GOSPEL CHURCH (ICGC) CHRIST TEMPLE, ACCRA GHANA)

    TOPIC: CHRISTIAN STEWARDSHIP – PART 3.

    DATE: 3RD OCTOBER, 2021

    TEXT: LUKE 12:42-43.

    Amen and Amen! Let’s keep Standing, as we make our DECLARATION OF FRUITFULNESS in this Year of Fruitfulness:

    Are you ready? Well say with me:

    The Eternal God is our Refuge. He opens Rivers in desolate Heights.The Lord makes the wilderness a Pool of water.

    The LORD God is my Sun and Shield; The LORD gives Grace and Glory.

    Therefore, I delight myself in Him. Those who are Planted in the House of the LORD shall be Fresh and Flourishing.

    Though the Earth be shaken; the Name of the Lord is my Strong Tower. By Faith I affirm that: In Christ alone is my Salvation. In Him I live, and move and have my Being.

    It is written: The Righteous are like trees Planted by the waters; bearing Fruits in its Season.

    So I boldly declare: As for me, my God has made me Exceedingly Fruitful.

    In this Season, my Spirit bears Fruits of Righteousness, my Talents make Way for me. With my hands, I will Plant, I will Build, I will Harvest – Day by Day, Step by Step.

    In Jesus’ Name – Amen!

    My Message today is on CHRISTIAN STEWARDSHIP – PART 3. And we are answering the question: WHERE SHOULD WE GIVE TO GOD?

    In Part 1: we looked at “WHY do we give to the Lord?”

    In Part 2: we looked at “WHAT do we give to God?”

    And in this Part 3: we are looking at “WHERE SHOULD WE GIVE TO GOD?”

    DMC NOTES: We can get to access the Full Text of the Part 1 and Part 2 of this Series on this Link:

    PART 2:

    https://discoverymediacrew.com/Christian-Stewardship-Part-2-Pastor-Mensa-Otabil

    How do Christians determine where to give their offering?

    Can we as Christians decide that: “I have an offering I want to give to the Lord, and I just want to give it anywhere I want?”

    Are there Biblical Rules that guide us to determine where to give our Offering?

    Luke 12:42-43 (NKJV), Jesus talking about Stewardship says:

    42 And the Lord said, “Who then is that Faithful and Wise Steward, whom his Master will make ruler over his household, to give them their Portion of food in Due Season?

    43 Blessed is that Servant whom his Master will find so doing when he comes.

    … God’s Will on Earth is done through His People!

    And in this Passage Jesus talks about Stewardship.

    And there are two (2) words He used to describe a Good Steward:

    1. The first word is FAITHFUL:

    A Good Steward is Faithful – A Person who can be relied on.

    A Steward is a Reliable Person!

    So when we say we are Reliable People, God can rely on us to do the right thing. And it is a very heavy responsibility for God to rely on you.

    For example, when God wanted to Minister to Saul; who had just had an encounter with God on the Way to Damascus; He spoke to a Disciple called Ananias.

    … Because God relied on Ananias to obey Him; to go and do what He wants Him to do.

    Faithful Stewardship is important.

    When God gives us an Assignment, He wants us to be Reliable with it.

    1. Secondly, the Passage talks about a Steward as WISE.

    When He says ‘WISE’ it means one who is mindful of what he does.

    A Wise Steward does what he had been instructed to do.

    So when it comes to Christian Stewardship (our GIVING); we have to be Faithful and we have to be Wise Stewards.

    We cannot just decide that “I have money, God is blessing me, I am Prospering and I am going to give an offering; and I am going to do it just anyhow.”

    … Because we have to be Stewards! And Stewards must be Faithful and Wise – This is very important.

    Because, when it comes to Giving an offering, People become very haphazard, and very arbitrary.

    They just decide: “This is what I want to do; this is what I feel like doing and I am going to do it any way.”

    There are two (2) Kinds of Giving that sometimes we confuse ourselves with:

    1. The first one is called OFFERING.

    An Offering is a Sacrifice made as Worship to God.

    So when somebody says he is Giving an offering, it means he is making a Sacrifice to God.

    Offerings are given because of our direct Relationship with God. – Note that!

    You find in the Old Testament that People give offerings when there is something about their Relationship with God.

    Maybe they have sinned and broken Relationship with God and so they give an offering. Or God has done something for them, they give an offering.

    Offerings are directly Relational with God; and they are expression of Worship towards God.

    And in the Old Testament sometimes it is an animal, it could be grains, Silver, Goods, a Tithe, First Fruit, a Vow, a Thanksgiving offering – There are so many offerings.

    So offerings are given directly to God or they affect our direct Relationship with God.

    1. The Second one is ALMS.

    Alms are also in the Bible. Alms are not the same as Offerings.

    Alms are Acts of Kindness that we show to the Poor.

    And God rewards both Offerings and Alms. But Offerings and Alms are not the same.

    Sometimes when we give an Offering, we think we are giving Alms and when we give Alms, we think we are giving an offering – No!

    They are not the same, yhey are different although they are both Giving.

    When you read the Bible from the Law, even to the New Testament; you find Offerings and Alms. And the two (2) are not the same!

    And usually, People confuss the two (2) Acts.

    Both are important but they are not the same.

    Let me illustrate with this Analogy: Let’s say a son is very grateful to his father and he says: Oh, my Dad took Good care of me, helped me through School, was there for me, encouraged me, supported me and now I have become somebody, and I want to show gratitude to my father.

    And so this son decides to buy a Gift for his father – Maybe he buys the father a Jet (which I won’t reject).

    Why is he doing that? It is to appreciate the father directly for what he did for him.

    That is what I will likened to an Offering because it is a direct Giving to the Father.

    Now let’s say that this son also says: You know, my father likes his Alma Mater – He went to A, B, C, D Secondary School. And he likes what the school did for him. So I would go to A, B, C, D Secondary School and build a Dormitory.

    Now, when he does that, he has still honoured his father. But he has not given directly to his father. He has given to something his father cherishes – That is how I would call Alms!

    When you give an offering, you are giving directly to God. When you give Alms, you are giving to something God loves – The Poor and the Needy.

    And the two (2) are not the same!

    When you read the Bible, you find that Offerings are given in the Temple; Alms are given outside the Temple.

    So outside the Temple, there will be People begging for money and People give Alms to them.

    But when you go to the Temple, that is where you give Offering.

    … The two (2) are not the same!

    So, a Christian cannot say: Well, all that God has blessed me with, I am going to give it in an Orphanage.

    That is good! That is Alms but you have not directly shown Gratitude to God for what He has done for you.

    The two (2) must be done together; but they are not the same.

    I hope you see the difference! – There is a difference between an offering a d giving Alms. And don’t interchange the two (2) because they are not the same.

    But for the Purpose of my Message today, I am talking about OFFERINGS – WHERE DO YOU TAKE AN OFFERING?

    … And I will do a very short Biblical Study to help us.

    So we will look at four (4) instances:

    1. The first Offering recorded in the Bible is that of CAIN AND ABEL.

    Genesis 4:3 – And in the Process of time it came to Pass that Cain brought an offering of the fruit of the Ground to the Lord.

    What this first Offering shows us is that – AN OFFERING IS MADE BEFORE THE LORD

    That is the first thing when you are Giving an Offering: that you are Presenting something to God.

    Now Cain and Abel knew that God is a Spirit, they knew that God did not live on the Earth – God lives I. Heaven!

    But something they did here on Earth, they reckoned to be doing to God in spirit and in Heaven. We also know that God is not flesh, and does not live on Earth.

    But when we give an offering, just like Cain and Abel; we considered that what we are doing is before the Lord! It is Presented before the Lord.

    1. The Second Offering made in the Bible is NOAH’S OFFERING.

    Genesis 8:20 – Then Noah built an Altar to the Lord, and took of every clean animal and of every clean bird, and offered burnt offerings on the altar.

    … Cain and Abel offered before the Lord!

    But if you look at Noah, he took it a step further – He put it on an Altar.

    And what does that teach us?

    That an Offering Is made in a Place Dedicated to God.

    It is before the Lord; but not just before the Lord anyhow because everything is before God. God lives everywhere! We can’t run away from God.

    So, it is not just about before the Lord. But Noah tells us that there are Places dedicated to God that an offering must go.

    So it must be before the Lord. But it must be to a Place Dedicated to God.

    1. The Third Offering recorded in the Bible is the OFFERING OF ABRAHAM.

    Genesis 14:18-20 – Then Melchizedek King of Salem brought out bread and wine; he was the Priest of God Most High. And he blessed him and said: “Blessed be Abram of God Most High, Possessor of Heaven and Earth; And blessed be God Most High, Who has delivered your enemies into your hand.” And he gave him a Tithe of all.

    Abraham was the first to be given a Tithe. He was also the first Person to Standing in an Office where God has ordained.

    So that what we learned from Abraham is that: An Offering is Received by a Person dedicated to God.

    I hope you see the Progression:

    I. From Cain and Abel we learn that an offering must be before the Lord.

    II. From Noah, we learn that an offering must’ve in a Place Dedicated to God.

    And from Abraham we learn that an Offering must be made through a Person who is Dedicated to God.

    So, that is the Principle that emerges from the Bible.

    The Priest is not the owner of the Offering – He receives it on God’s Altar; in God’s Presence, before the Lord. He also becomes a Steward of God’s Resources.

    So, if you supposedly give an offering, and it doesn’t go through these Processes – That is, it is not before the Lord. It is not given in a Place Dedicated to God and it does not go through a Person dedicated to God; You may be doing a nice thing but it is not an offering. It may be kindness. Or Goodness.

    … But for it to qualify as an offering, this is the Path that the Bible shows us.

    And the last one we will look at (in the Law) is in Deuteronomy 12:13-14.

    This is an Instruction that God gave to Israel as they were getting ready to go into the Promised Land.

    And I want you to Pay attention to what God says; He actually told them to Pay attention.

    Take heed to yourself that you do not offer your burnt offerings in every Place that you see; but in the Place which the Lord chooses, in one of your Tribes, there you shall offer your burnt offerings, and there you shall do all that I command you.

    1. So the fourth Point we learn is that an Offering is made in a manner that GOD approves of.

    When you put all these Practices together: it is Presented before the Lord, in a Place dedicated to God, a Man through a Person that is dedicated to God and in a manner that God approves of.

    If I am walking by the roadside and I see a Poor Person and I give money to the Person. It is not an offering; Because that Person is not authorized to receive my offering, that Person is not in a Place dedicated to God.

    None of those happened! – I would have given Alms to the Poor.

    And Yes, God honours Alms.

    He says: “He that Gives to the Poor, Gives to Me.”

    God recognises that!

    But don’t confuse the two (2).

    And there are People who decide that: “All I am going to do is to Give Alms.

    Yes, you are like the son who goes to build a Dormitory to honour his father but doesn’t honour the father directly.

    You must learn to do both the same time and the two are not the same.

    If you go to Give to an Orphanage, you have done very well.

    Or if you Give to eradicate Malaria in the whole world; you have done very well.

    But it is not an Offering. It is Almsgiving; it honours God. God is happy with it. But you haven’t done it directly to show your appreciation to Him.

    If you are going to Give an offering to show God appreciation, then this is how the Process goes!

    When Jesus was on Earth, He did not start the Church – The Church started after Jesus had ascended to Heaven.

    Jesus’Ministry was under the Old Testament Laws.

    If you read the Gospels, you will find that he went through the Process of the Old Testament Practice – Whether it was Passover, He did it according to what was done. He would go to the Temple to worship and also worship at home.

    Jesus then was Worshipping in the Temple and Worshipping at home. He went to the Temple to fulfil God’s Righteousness and then He taught His Disciples at home.

    After Jesus died, resurrected and ascended to Heaven; the Church began on the Day of Pentecost.

    But the Church did not have Temples. So they still go to the Temple and still meet on houses.

    You find out that in the beginning of the Book of Acts, that they would go to the Temple, and then they would meet from house to house.

    It was whilst they were going to the Temple one day (in Acts 3) that a Man outside of the Temple asked for Alms from the Disciples.

    They said: “Silver and Gold we do not have.”

    And then the Man got healed later on.

    But remember, they were going to the Temple! They still worshipped in the Temple and still worshipped at him.

    HOW DID THE NEW TESTAMENT CHRISTIANS APPLY THIS PRINCIPLE?

    … Let’s look at the STEWARDSHIP OF THE CHURCH.

    How did they Function and Stewards of God’s Resources in the absence of a Formal Meeting Place?

    Acts 4:34-35; Nor was there anyone among them who lacked; for all who were Possessors of lands or houses sold them, and brought the Proceeds of the things that were sold, and laid them at the Apostles’ feet; and they distributed to each as anyone had need.

    Two (2) things we see there from the Early Church:

    1. First is that, they Sacrificed what they had.

    They went beyond Giving ten Percent (10%). They sold what they had and gave one hundred Percent (100%).

    These guys were very radical in their Giving. They were Giving one hundred Percent (100%) while we are still struggling with ten Percent (10%) Giving.

    I am always facinated when People say: ‘TIthes is of the Old Testament.’

    And I say: “You want New Testament?”

    Then it is one hundred Percent (100%).

    That is what we see! – They gave everything, but they were very Sacrificial.

    1. The Second thing that you note about them is that they submitted to Spiritual Order.

    … And the Bible says that ‘they laid their Offering at the Apostles’ feet.’

    Now, why didn’t they just give it to other People? – That is, just distributing their money and say: “Well, there are Needy People in the Church, give it to them?”

    No! – They understood that Principles of Offering. That it had to be before God; it has to be in a Place that God approves of and it had to be through a Person that has been established in office by God.

    They didn’t have Priests, they were Levites. They were Apostles! Apostles were the first Officers of the Church.

    So, the Christians understand that this same Principles that they had been applying in the Old Testament and under the Law. And now applying it in a different form in the New Testament; they laid the Offering at the Apostles’ Feet.

    What were they doing?

    They were submitting the same Principle – It has to be a Person that God has put in Office, in a Place God has Ordained.

    Now, why do I say: ‘A Place?’

    Well, they did have Temples there but Churches were operating in Homes, as homes became Churches – As far as the home was dedicated as a Place for the gathering of Believers and it was an Approved Place for Offerings to be received.

    Just like when we all started, we used to have Church in Classrooms.

    From Monday to Friday, they would teach A,B,C,D and Algebra. And then Sundays, we came. And when we come, the Place is now dedicated – It is no longer a classroom; it is a Sanctuary for God’s People.

    When a Church met in a Hotel, People would do other stuff in the Hotel. But the moment we step foot in that Place, it is dedicated to the Lord. And that Place becomes an Approved Place for the People of the Lord for them to bring their Offerings, Tithes and their Giving.

    … I hope you get the Principles! – That is how the Early Church started.

    Overtime, the Early Church then built Purpose made Churches. And the Principles continued – The Offerings went to the Church; the Alms, outside the Church.

    Offerings INSIDE Church, Alms OUTSIDE the Church. Offerings to GOD – in an Approved Place, through God’s Order. Alms – You do it with a Generousity of your heart.

    And God told the Israelites: Remember the Poor, the Strangers, the Widows and the Needy. Take Good care of them. It is Part of our Christian Worship.

    But it must never be the Substitute for where you take your Offering because an offering is a direct expression to God – That you Thank Him for what He has done for you.

    When you Give Alms, you are still honouring God. But you are doing it because you love what God loves, you love the People God loves – He loves the Needy, those who don’t have, those who are Opressed and we must give to them.

    And it is Good to go to your Village and build a School – That is Great!

    … But that is not an offering. It is an Alms.

    As Christians, we must know the difference between Offerings and Almsgiving and you cannot replace one for the other.

    A Christian must Give Offerings; a Christian must Give Alms but the two (2) are not the same!

    Where do you take your Offering? Not to an Orphanage, not to the Poor Man by the roadside – It has to be brought to Church: In a Place Dedicated to the Glory of God; through a System that God has established in Place. And you must do it with a consciousness that you are doing it before the Lord.

    Anytime you come to Church and you Give, you are Giving an offering.

    You cannot go out there and say: “Well, I went to Church, I gave an offering. Hence, I won’t help anybody again.”

    Neither can you also say: “I am helping the Poor; I won’t Give an offering.

    The two (2) are not the same! But both are expression of our Giving and both honour God.

    And when we Give our Offerings, there are Special Blessings we can claim; that we can’t claim with our Alms.

    When He says: “Bring all the Tithes into my House and Prove me now on it”; He doesn’t say that concerning Alms – He says it concerning Tithes.

    “Honour the Lord with your First Fruit” and He says ‘Your barns will overflow with Plenty.’ – That is for First Fruit. It is an offering, it is not Alms.

    So, there are Specific Blessings Dedicated to Offerings, and then there are Blessings also for those who Give Alms.

    If you want the Fullness of God’s Blessings through your Stewardship and Giving; then you have to be Faithful in your Offerings and you have to be Faithful in your Almsgiving – Amen!

    I hope you got something. And I hope all of you who come to Church, don’t come empty handed – Amen!

    Because, for some of us, when the Offering Basket is coming, we lift up our head and let it Pass!

    I understand when you don’t have money and you don’t Give an offering. But it is a sin when you have money in abundance, and the Offering Basket come, and you don’t give to the Lord.

    And you still go to this God and say: Father, I LOVE YOU!

    Where is the Love? – “I came Passing in front of you, you didn’t Give.

    You Love Me with your mouth but your heart is very far from Me.”

    You have to show your Appreciations to God in your Offerings; and you show your Appreciations to the things that God loves, in your Alms.

    And may the Lord help each one of us to be Good Stewards of the Resources He gives us; so we don’t throw His money haphazardly and anyhow, as we please – ÀMEN.

    CLOSING PRAYER

    Father, we Thank You that Your Word instructs us to do the Right thing. And Your Word guides us, so that we Please You in all our doings.

    So Lord, I Pray that by the sharing of this Word, Your People would become Doers of the Word and not Hearers only!

    And as we do Your Word, may the Blessings that You have Promised to follow Obedience of our Offering accrued to us in Good measures, Pressed down, shaken together and running Over.

    And let Goodness and Mercy overflow Your People, in Jesus’ Name – ÀMEN.

    PRAISE THE LORD – HALLELUJAH.
