MAIN ADDRESS

Let’s celebrate the Almighty God!

The Word of God says, clap your hands Oh ye People. Shout unto the Lord.

Let there be a shout!!!

Brethren, what is the Theme for IGNITE 2022? – SOAR!!!

Say with me: I am going Higher!

You see, whenever God gives a Theme, it’s because the time has come for someone to connect with that Theme.

I don’t know who that Person is, but I believe Strongly, that for someone that is hearing my voice or reading now on the Label of DMC – The time has come for you to Change your Level; the time has come for you to go Higher; the time has come for you to “Soar Higher”.

If that’s your Portion, shout a loud Amen – AMEN!!!

Just turn to five (5) Persons, say: It’s my time to Soar!!!

OPENING PRAYER

Lord we ask that as we talk briefly, just connect with Your Word; Your sons and daughters will Soar, in the Name of Jesus – Amen!

Please, be seated for just a few Minutes.

… I am told to give an Opening Address briefly.

Isaiah 40:28-31 says:

28 Hast thou not known? hast thou not heard, that the everlasting God, the LORD, the Creator of the ends of the earth, fainteth not, neither is weary? there is no searching of his understanding.

29 He giveth power to the faint; and to them that have no might he increaseth strength.

30 Even the youths shall faint and be weary, and the young men shall utterly fall:

31 But they that wait upon the LORD shall renew their strength; they shall mount up with wings as eagles; they shall run, and not be weary; and they shall walk, and not faint.

Is there someone that wants Power today?

If you want Power, shout a loud Power – Power!!!

If there’s someone here that realise they need Power to go Higher, shout Power – Power!!!!

The Word of God says, even the Youth may be weary – There are times you get discouraged or delusional.

But there is a Set of People that are about to Soar! – Those that wait upon the Lord, those that are ready to hear God’s Word.

The Word of God says that: The Lord Himself shall renew their Strength.

Lift your hand and say: My Father, my Father! As I connect with IGNITE 2022, I want to Soar. Renew my Strength. It’s time for me to Soar!

… And if you believe that, shout a loud Amen – Amen!!!

You see, when we are talking about Soaring, we are talking about Ascending. True or false? True – We are talking about Ascending!

We are not just talking about Ascending, we are talking Advancing.

So, when a Plane is Soaring, it is ascending, it is advancing, it is accelerating.

Who is going higher in Life? Who is advancing in Life? Who realise that they need Divine Speed in Life?

I Decree by the Power of God’s Word – As we connect with IGNITE 2022, you shall ascend unto Greater Heights (Amen).

You shall advance, you shall go forward – Amen.

Receive Divine Speed!

You shall Accelerate, in the Name of Jesus – Amen.

In the Business place you shall Accelerate; Internationally, you shall Accelerate!

In the works of your hand, you shall Accelerate!

Let someone shout: I am going forward!

Say it again: I am going forward!!!

Now, who is that Person going forward? – The DMC FAMILY!

… I want to hear the name – The DMC FAMILY is going Forward!

Okay! Let’s all shout: I will Arise!

No be so we dey do am – You have to stand on your feet as you shout it: I WILL ARISE!!!!

Please, be seated!

WHAT DOES IT TAKE FOR SOMEONE TO SOAR?

You see, as the various Speakers will be speaking, you should connect with what they are going to say because, it’s something that will Prepare you to Soar.

And for anyone to Soar:

  1. You must first of all Examine your Life.

Ask yourself: “Am I where I should be? Is this the Level God wants me to be?”

The Word of God says in 2 Corinthians 13:5 – “Examine Yourself!”

As you begin to examine yourself in the Business Place, in the Spiritual Arena, intellectually – Is this how far God d wants me to be?

And when you begin to examine yourself, you will realise – No! I need to go to Greater Heights, I need to go Higher.

So the first thing you should realise, as you go through this Program, is that you should Re-examine your Life.

There was a Point in time I needed to re-examined my Life – I had Titles, but I realised, I wasn’t where God wanted me to be.

As I began to improve myself, I went back to School, I decided to do more Courses because I realised that I needed to Soar.

You Re-examine your Life!

  1. A Revelation of the Heights of the Latitude – Of the Space!

In the Second instance, once you examine your Life, you need to have a Revelation of the Latitude God wants you to attend.

You see, without Revelation, you can’t express an Innovation in your Life. You need to have a Revelation, you need to see, for you to attend it.

So, you need to have a Revelation of where you should be in Life.

And again I assure you, when the Pilot is in a Plane and they are moving up; he has an understanding of the Height that Plane is going to go.

You must have a Revelation of the Height that God wants you to attend in Life.

And while the Word of God is very, very clear my Beloved Brethren; that we should allow our eyes of Understanding to be enlightened – Ephesians 1:17-18.

Put your hand on your head and say: My Father, my Father: I ask for the Revelation of the Height You want me to attend. I shall not go down in Life, in the Name of Jesus!

And let someone shout: I am going Higher!

So, my Beloved Brethren you must examine your life;

In the second instance, a Revelation of the Latitude, the Height God wants you to attend;

  1. In the third instance: you must Reject every Limitations.

Whether the Limitation is a Societal Limitation, whether it’s an Intellectual Limitation, whether it is a Social Limitation – Reject Limitations!

I have often share the Story of a man who was Thirty two (32) years. He was a Reverend, and he met me. He said, Daddy I want to get my PhD. I said that’s very thoughtful of you.

He said, there is a Challenge. I said, what’s up about the Challenge? He said, I have not yet gotten my SSCE – He was Thirty two (32).

He said, along the Part, somewhere I missed it, and I went straight into Ministry because I was missing it. He said now I realised that Ministry requires Intellectual Capacity. He said, I want to get my PhD.

At the age of thirty two (32) to thirty three (33); he went back to Secondary School. And he went with his friend who was driving a Government Vehicle. And when the Principal of the School saw them, he thought they were Government Inspectors.

He got into the Office, and the Principal said, “Yes, Please can I help you Sir? He laughed! He said, you are the own to help me. I want to sit for my WAEC (West African Examination Council) Exams in this School.

The Principal looked at the man, he said, you have to wear School Uniforms. He said it doesn’t matter. I want to sit for my WAEC (West African Examination Council).

The man wear School Uniforms and sat for his WAEC (West African Examination Council) at the age of thirty three (33).

As I speak now, he is a PhD holder – Just because he dealt with that Limitation.

He had determined that he wants to Soar Higher.

If you want to Soar Higher Brethren, you must Reject Limitation.

The Word of God makes it clear in Jeremiah 1:19 – And they shall fight against thee; but they shall not Prevail against thee; for I am with thee, saith the LORD, to deliver thee.

Your Mind shall fight against you, People’s opinion shall fight against you but they shall not Prevail – Amen.

I Pray that every Limitations to your Soaring shall be destroyed, in the Name of Jesus – Amen.

  1. In the forth instance, you must Raise your Levels in Life.

Make up your mind that you are not going to remain on this Level.

Whether in the Business, don’t remain on this Level. Intellectually, don’t remain on this Level, in various Sphere Spiritually, don’t remain on this Level.

Resolve that with this Program, with the Theme Soar: In every Spheres of Life, you must move Higher – Amen.

Make up your Mind Beloved Brethren, that you must raise your Standards.

And that is what the Word of God says in Isaiah 62:10 – Lift Up a Standard for the People.

God is saying, Though thy Beginning was Small, yet thy latter end should greatly Increase – Job 8:7

  1. And you see, when you are raising your Levels, you are not just raising your Level to remain there; you should resolve (at least to a certain Point) to Lead.

Resolve to be a Leader in your area of Gifting – Resolve not to.just be with the crowd.

For the Bible says: And the LORD shall make thee the Head, and not the Tail; and thou shalt be above Only, and thou shalt not be beneath; if that thou hearken unto the Commandments of the LORD thy God, which I command thee this day, to observe and to do them – Deuteronomy 28:13

That means, with your Gifting, your Talent, your Skills, you should resolve to lead. You should resolve to be among the best ten (1), the best twenty (20).

If they are mentioning that Skill, if they are mentioning that Problem; your name should be a Solution in whatever Gifting, because it’s your Stronghold.

You are not with the crowd, you are going unto Greater Heights.

… Resolve to Lead in Life!

Leading talks about influencing with your Gifting, your Talents, with your Skills.

Resolve to Lead! That is something you should determine to do because it’s your time to Lead.

Deuteronomy 28:14 says – And thou shalt not go aside from any of the Words which I command thee this day, to the right hand, or to the left, to go after other gods to serve them.

  1. You should respond to Leverages and Opportunities.

You see, as you resolve to Lead, there shall be Opportunities – I call them Leverages.

With all those Gifts, Talents and Skills, God will Provide Opportunities and Leverages for you.

God Provided that for David, and Davod had an opportunity to play the harp on the King’s Palace – And he responded to his Leverage in Life.

So many People miss out on their Opportunities in Life – So many People!

Lift your hands and say: My Father, my Father: may I never miss out on my Opportunities in Life. It is my time to Soar, in the Name of Jesus!

Oh yes, I have shared this severally, with some of our Leaders: I was Privileged to be a Regional Pastor then, and I was about to send someone to the Mission Fields. And I had two (2) names. I was wondering which of the two (2) to send.

I called the first Brother – It was in a day some Pastors were around. As soon as he entered my Office, he said “Daddy, Thank God I have seen you. I have been looking for an opportunity, that Place they sent me to, na suffer head. Those People are “Stubborn People”.”

… And he began to complain and complain catalogue of Problems.

And the Lord said, this is not the one you should send. He did not realised it, that he has missed out of his opportunity.

I sent for the second one (who was in the same Area and Zona).

That one came, “How now?” He said, Daddy fine Sir! “How is your Area?” Ha, it’s fantastic! Great People, God is doing awesome things.

And by the time he was talking, God said – This is the Person you should send!

Today the Person is a Country Coordinator in one of our Parishes because he responded.

My Prayer is: When your time comes, you shall not miss out on your opportunity, in the Name of Jesus – Amen.

The Bible says in 1 Corinthians 16:9 – For a Great door and effectual is opened unto me, and there are many adversaries.

Beloved, I Pray for each and everyone of you – No matter the adversaries that are against you, you shall go beyond those adversaries, in the Name of Jesus – Amen.

Finally Brethren, for one to Soar in life: don’t forget:

I said in the first instance, you should Examine your Life.

Secondly, you need a Revelation of the Latitudes – The Heights God want you to attend.

In the Third instance, you should reject Limitations.

Fourthly, you should raise your Level, raise your Standards.

In the Fifth instance, you should Resolve to Lead – Be at the forefront, don’t just be a Part of the crowd.

IIn the sixth instance, you should respond to Leverages; respond to the Opportunities that God will Provide for you.

Instead of murmuring and grumbling, in the midst of every Problems, there are Opportunities for Breakthroughs – See the Opportunities and not Problems.

  1. And finally, for one to Soar in life, they need to Reach Out.

1 Samuel 2:9 says; for by Strength shall no man Prevail.

And David said in Psalms 27:4 – One thing have I desired of the LORD, that will I seek after; that I may dwell in the house of the LORD all the days of my Life, to behold the beauty of the LORD, and to enquire in His Temple.

… He (David) just wanted to connect with God – He knew that God was his Source of Promotion and the same God can bring down.

If you want to be sustained in Soaring, you need to reach out and be connected to God.

May we Stand as we Lift our hands to God and say;

My Father,my Father: by Your Grace and Mercy, Strengthen me to say connected to You.

The time for me to Soar in life has come! Help me Oh Lord, in the Name of Jesus!

… Pray that Prayer for fifteen (15) Seconds.

So shall it be! In Jesus’ Glorious Name we Pray!

CLOSING PRAYER

Lord, together with Your sons and daughters, we Declare IGNITE 2022; with the Theme SOAR open.

In the Name of God the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Spirit – AMEN!!!

That as Your children connect with the Words that shall be spoken right from this Altar, Lord – By Your Grace and Mercy, all over this County, Your Children shall begin to Soar – Amen!!!!

There shall be Outstanding Testimonies!

None shall go down in Life!

So shall it be! In Jesus’ Glorious Name we Pray – Amen!

And I am convinced, as you begin to go and as the Testimonies begin to spring forth, People shall ask one Question: WHO DID IT? JESUS, O MY GOD – WAOOOOW!!!!
