Pastor Brown was talking about your Pastor (Pastor In Charge of Province, LP 3) and he said that he is very excited – I smiled.
I smiled because I remembered the first time that I visited Brown himself at Pen Cinema (Around Agege area of Lagos State Nigeria) several Years ago. He was so excited that he didn’t even know what to do.
That was the first time that I heard the Song – Wonder so so, Wonder so so. Maybe he (Pastor Brown) was the one who composed the Song.
DMC NOTES:
- Pastor Brown Oyitso is a Quintessential Man of God and Regional Pastor in The Redeemed Christian Church of God (RCCG) Region 19; who also doubles as the Chairman Central Missions Board of the Redeemed Christian Church of God (RCCG).
- Pastor Toyin Olugbemi is a John Maxwell Certified Coach, Trainer and Speaker. He serves as the Principal Administrative Officer and the Pastor in Charge of RCCG Lagos Province 3, Festac Town, Lagos State Nigeria.
I think that you should be excited because God is going to restore today – Amen!
I don’t know how God does His things but it Pleases Him that my first Outing after my 80th Birthday should be here – Hallelujah!
We have some couples of thousands of Churches in Lagos State but He (God) chose this Place (RCCG, VICTORY HOUSE PARISH, LP 3 FESTAC TOWN, LAGOS STATE NIGERIA.
My children here made several suggestions as to what I should speak on but I turned to the Almighty God and I said: What do you want me to talk on? And He (God) said: RESTORATION!
Without any doubt; there is Someone here or reading now on the Label of DMC whose Life is going to Change – Amen; there is Someone whose Health is about to be restored – Amen; there is Someone whose Financial situation is about to be restored – Amen; there is Someone who is going to begin to hear from God again – Amen!
… And so my Sermon today will be brief!
This Morning, I greet All Mothers.
All Good Mothers because there are some Mothers who are not Good Mothers.
I. There are Mothers who will eat their Children.
We saw in the News this Past Week of a Mother who said that the Child misbehaved and use “Hot Electric Iron” to smash the buttocks of that Child.
… That is not the Kind of Mother I’m Praying for today!
II. But there are Mothers who “Spend” and are “Spent” so that their Children can become Someone.
… Someone like my Mother!
All Good Mothers; God will bless you – Amen!
John 10:10 – The thief comes only to Steal and Kill and Destroy; I have come so that they may have Life, and may have it Abundantly.
In the Bible Text above, it tells us that the devil has three (3) Principal Assignments – To Steal, to Kill and to Destroy!.
Fortunately, Jesus Christ has the Solution to all the three (3) – He can restore what the devil has stolen, He can resurrect what the devil has killed and when the devil has destroyed, He has the Power to reverse the Irreversible.
- The first Assignment of the devil is to Steal.
When you read Mark 5: 25-34:
I. The devil stole the health of a Woman – The Woman with the Issue of Blood.
II. And then went ahead and stole her Wealth – The Bible said that she sold everything that she had and never got better.
III. And then stole her Joy – Anybody who is in the same shoe as that Woman cannot be happy.
IV. And she stole her Hope – Because going from one Fellow to the other and instead of getting better, its getting worst and all money gone. The Woman was Pretty Hopeless.
V. And the devil stole her Peace of Mind.
But my God intervened and in a Single Day, He restored everything!
I. He restored her Health because the Bible says in 1 Peter 2:24 – By His Stripes we were healed.
II. He restored her Hope because the Bible says: Christ in you, the Hope of Glory!
I have Good News for everyone of you here today or reading now on the Label of DMC:
I. If the devil has stolen your Health, there will be Restoration today – Amen.
II. If he has stolen your Wealth, there will be Restoration today – Amen.
III. If he has stolen your Hope, there will be Restoration today – Amen.
Some of you will remembered the Story of a Woman – Very Wealth Woman living in a very Great Part of the City in Ile Ife (Osun State, Nigeria).
Then one day, she wanted to eat Pounded Yam – And there was a big bowl of Pounded Yam, a bigger bowl of stew and suddenly a frog came out of nowhere and jumped on the Pounded Yam.
Ha, Ha; where do you come from? – So she tried ro smashed the frog and the frog jumped into the bowl of stew.
And she said alright, if I won’t eat this Pounded Yam, neither will you eat it as well.
So, she took the bowl of Pounded Yam and smashed it on the bowl of stew. After some Minutes after she thought that by now the frog must have drowned in the bowl of stew; she opened the thing and there was no frog there.
And from that day on, she began to cough – The kind of coughing that when she coughs, she will be urinating involuntarily. She spent everything that she had and didn’t get any better.
Then she heard that we are going to have a Program in the Town and she came just like you came today. She gave her Life to Jesus Christ and the coughing stopped – Glory be to God!
Whatever demon(s) that followed you here today, won’t follow you out – Amen
But the Story didn’t end there – The Woman who was responsible for the attack now started coughing because the demon went back to Sender. And then, she now came to this my daughter and said: I didn’t know what you did that you got well. I know that the attack has no Solution. Now you will have to help me – That was how we know who was the Attacker.
Well today both the Attacker and the Attacked are Strong Members of the Church today.
If there had been an attack on you and on your family; it will go back to Sender – Amen; the Attacker will come down and bow before you – Amen and you will bring them to Christ – Amen!
… Today, there will be Restoration – Amen!
- The 2nd Assignment of the devil is to Kill.
Johm 8:44 calls the devil a Murderer – His Assignment is to kill.
But then Jesus Christ is the Resurrection and the Life – His Assignment is to restore.
In Mark 5: 35-43; the Bible told us about a Girl – The Only Girl of the Parents – Twelve (12) Years Old and the devil went and killed the Girl.
But then Jesus Christ went in there and turned death to sleep and then woke up the Girl.
In Luke 7: 11-15; the Bible tells us of another Widow who has just one son and the devil went to the house of this Widow and stole the “Only Son” – Killed the “Only Son”.
But on the Way to the Burial Ground, Jesus Christ came and restored Life to that boy – “Only Son”.
If there is anything that the devil has killed in your Life, in your Business, in your Ministry; the Resurrection of the Most High God will work for you today – Amen!
Many of us knows the Story – I was travelling to the same Town of Ile Ife (Osun State, Nigeria) when I was on my way to Ilesha (Also in Osun State, Nigeria); when I saw one of my daughters standing by her car, completely lost in sorrow – She didn’t even saw me Pass.
And I saw the way she was standing there looking so sad and I told my driver to stop and reverse. And I went to her – She was lost in sorrow that she didn’t even see me until I got to her.
My daughter, what is the Problem? – She looked at me and said: Daddy, I have been giving birth to girls, believing God for a baby boy. Now am Pregnant and it’s a boy. And then few Months before Delivery, the baby in her Womb died – The baby has not been moving. She went to the Doctors and they checked and said: Sorry, we have to Evacuate.
DMC NOTES: An Evacuation of the Uterus, also known as a D & C, is a Surgical Procedure to remove the Pregnancy tissue from the Uterus.
So, she had just heard that Bad News – And I knew that might be why God asked me to Pass by this Place.
And I layed my hands on the Stomach and the baby jumped back to Life.
That baby boy is one of our Pastors Abroad today!
You see, occasionally you go to the Doctors and the Doctors say: Sorry, there is Nothing we can do about your eyes as they are dead; your Womb or your legs.
But there is still Someone who is called “The Resurrection and The Life”.
Everything Good that the devil has killed in your Life will come back to Life today in Jesus Name – Amen!
- The Third thing that the devil does is to Destroy.
Now, there is a difference between “Kill” and “Destroy”.
To Destroy means to Change beyond repairs! – That is the meaning of Destroy!
But there is Nothing too hard for God!
In Jeremiah 32:27, it says: Behold I am the God of all flesh. Is anything too hard for me?
In Luke 1:37; the Bible says: For with God, Nothing shall be impossible.
There is Someone in Particular – That is the reason why you came.
In John 11: 39-44; when Lazarus died – He wasn’t just dead, he wasn’t on the Way to the Burial Ground; he has been buried for four (4) days.
The Sisters said to the Lord Jesus Christ – It is “Too Late”; by now he is sinking.
He wasn’t just dead; the blood has changed to “Blackished Water”, the Flesh has rotten, the worms has started to do their works.
… “Too Late” Lord, let us go home. It is not Your fault as You are busy. If You have been here a little earlier.
Somebody might be saying here now or as you read now on the Label of DMC – Oh daddy, we wish you came Last Year!
No, No, No; God is always on Time!
“Too Late”, already destroyed, already damaged beyond repairs – There is Someone who can make Dry Bones live again!
I have told you the Story before and some of you heard a Fresh Testimony along that line about two (2) Holy Ghost Services ago.
There was this Sister – Classmate of my wife and they are friends.
And then, all of a sudden she developed Cancer of the Vocal Cord – The devil can be very terrible! He knows that if you Pray to God, God will answer and so he makes sure that he attacks that which you could use to Pray.
When they checked her at “UCH”; they said that there is only one way they can use to save this Woman and it is to cut off her Vocal Cord. And when you cut off the Vocal Cord, that means that Fellow will never speaks again.
DMC NOTES: “UCH” meaning University College Hospital is the Medical Teaching Hospital Arm of University of Ibadan situated in the Ancient City of Ibadan in Oyo State Nigeria).
I remembered that I was with her at the Hospital (UCH) and we Prayed for her – There is a God who can reverse the Irreversible!
And for some couple of Years, she was only communicating by Text – She couldn’t speak a word but we kept on holding on to God: Father, you can reverse the Irreversible.
Then one day, I travelled and I came back home. As I was coming back, I saw a Woman on the Floor who was rolling on the Ground – Woman, what is wrong?
And she looked up and I recognised her and she said: Daddy, I can speak again!
Everything that the devil has destroyed in your Life shall be restored today – Amen!
Let me Conclude:
I. Restoring your body is a small thing to God – He made you and He can repair what He made. If need be, He can give you Spare Parts.
II. Restoring your Finance is a Minor thing to Him – He said: Silver is Mine, Gold is Mine; the Cattles upon a Thousand Hills are Mine!
III. Restoring anything – Your Marriage, your Womb and so on is a Minor thing to God because with Him, Nothing shall be impossible.
But I believed that God sent me here this Morning or as you read now on the Label of DMC because He wants to restore the Destiny of Someone in Particular!
You see, in Mark 5: 2-20; the Bible tells us of a Man that the Bible called “The Mad Man of Gadara”.
He was so Mad that Mad People saw him coming and they ran – That is to tell you how Mad he was.
He was so Mad that he himself decided that there is no Hope at all and so began to live in the Burial Ground so that when he dies, Nobidy will need to bother.
Then he met the Lord Jesus Christ and He chased out all the demons in him.
That wasn’t the “Big Do” – The “Big Do” is that when all the demons are gone, this Man came to Jesus Christ and said: I will go with you wherever you go!
Jesus Christ said: No; I have an Assignment for you. I know the Purpose why you are born – Go and tell the People what God has done for you.
You see because when Jesus Christ has done what He has done for him; the People in the Towns and Villages around came and they were afraid about what God has done and they begged Jesus Christ to leave.
But this Man went round, telling all these People what God has done.
Read your Bible very well – By the next time Jesus Christ came into that City; the crowd that welcomed Jesus Christ was so Mighty that Jesus Christ could hardly move around.
That Mad Man of Gadara was born to be an Evangelist, the devil turned him to a Mad Man. But one day, he met the “Great Restorer” and his Destiny was restored
I have told you a Story before, way back in 1951 I think – The African Bishop of Ibadan Diocese including the whole Western Region and so on, came to my Village because we had a little Anglican Church there.
And because Somebody that Great was coming to Town, all of us who are School Students lined up the route to welcome him. The Hunters didn’t go to the farm – They were firing their “Dane Gun” in Gun Salute. The Drummers were beating their drum.
DMC NOTES: The “Dane Gun” was originally a type of long-barreled flintlock musket imported into West Africa by Dano-Norwegian traders Prior to the Mid-19th Century. The term is now used Chiefly by Europeans living along the West African coast to generally describe any indigenously made firearm of this type. They are Produced in large numbers by Local Blacksmiths, and are used mostly for hunting game, replacing Traditional Weapons such as the bow and spear.
And the Bishop came in a very beautiful Black car – In those days, it is only two (2) Lorries that comes to my Village. I have never seen a car before as at then. And when those Lorries are coming, you can hear the sound from Miles away but this car came in and you can hardly hear the sound.
And then the Bishop was coming out near where I was Standing. When he came out, I looked at his Shoes – Black and Shinning!
At that time; only five (5) People has anything that you can call a Shoe in my Village – The Head of the Village, the Catechists, the Headmaster who has this Tennis Shoes and I think about two (2) other People
And then I saw him in his Robe – You know the Bishop Robe. Hey, very beautiful.
My mouth was opened throughout that Day. I was following him and when he was about to go, the Farmers brought what they had – Hens, Eggs, and so on.
When I got back home, I told my Mother that when I grow up, I will be a Bishop.
But Years Past – I grew up and left Church. For Years, I didn’t go to Church except on Christmas or New Year Day – I became a “Terrible Boy”.
Then one day, I met the Lord Jesus Christ and one way or the other; I became General Overseer.
And I was visiting my Town in 1981 – Thirty (30) Years later and my People decided to Honour me.
So, all the School Children lined on the route, the Hunters were firing their “Dane Gun”; the Drummers were beating their drums, I went in a New car that Somebody bought for me. And when I was about to come out of the car, I looked at my Shoes – They were Black and Shinning and I remembered 1951!
There is Someone here today; the reason why we have come here today or you reading now on the Label of DMC is because God wants to restore your Destiny – Amen!
The Resurrection for me; just as for that Mad Man of Gadara came when I surrendered my Life to Jesus Christ.
Because that Mad Man saw Jesus Christ coming; he couldn’t Pray – All he did was that he surrendered.
ALTAR CALL
I beg you today – If you have not Genuinely surrendered your Life to Jesus Christ; come and do so now. Today, God will restore your Destiny.
So, I’m going to count from one (1) to ten (10) – If you are not sure of your Salvation; Please come.
If you have backsliden – You are once a Child of God but you have gone back; come. Let today be your Day of Resurrection.
… I’m counting now!
Thank You Father; Thank You Ancient of Days. Glory be to Your Holy Name!
Those of you infront and those on their way; let us talk ro the Lord – Please Lord, save my Soul, I’m returning to You now. I want You to restore my Destiny, I will serve You from now on, I will do Your Will. Please forgive me my sin, wash away my sins with Your Blood. Lord take me back to Yourself and I will serve You for the rest of my Life.
